Chapter 4
"Blind..." Ginji murmured in a dazed state.
"He used his Jagan to give us time to escape..." Shido said. "What a moron, we could of escaped without it." He huffed.
"Shido don't be like that." Kazuki said. "Do you really think all of us would of escaped. I heard the guns being cocked just as we opened the door."
"Ban..." Himiko whispered. Mirage sighed and rubbed her eyes with her thumb and index finger.
"Will he regain his eyesight?" Kazuki asked.
"This has never happened before while I was around, so I wouldn't know." The doctor answered. She looked up at Ginji and smiled. This seemed to bring him out of his dazed state. "He's asleep, but you can go in and see him."
"Thank you Mirage-san," Ginji said before rushing into the room. Kazuki and Himiko followed him at their own paces, but Shido stayed outside not wanting to see Midou yet.

In the white room, Ban laid motionless on the bed. His blue eyes were hidden behind a bandage. The cut on the side of his head was held in place by that bandage and was already red. His left arm in a sling against his naked chest. The wound where the bullet hit were bandaged tightly. Ban's stomach was also bandage, but that disappeared under the blanket that hid his waist and everything below it. His breathing was slow and deep from behind the oxygen mask that was placed around his head. There was an IV needle in his right arm which was strapped to the bed.
"He looks so pale..." Ginji whispered as he sat in the chair beside the bed. Himiko nodded and stood at the end of the bed. How could Ban let this happen? This was the invincible Ban...what happened? Kazuki thought as he stood by the wall. Is there more to this than either Ban and Himiko are letting on?
"If I didn't know any better I'd say he was dead...." Himiko said.
"Ban-chan will be alright!" Ginji said with false cheerfulness. Kazuki looked at the former leader of the VOLTS sadly. "He would be mad if he found out we were worrying."
"Ginji-kun..." Kazuki said. The blonde haired man smiled then grabbed Ban's hand.
"He's right Kazuki..." Himiko smiled. "Ban would be mad...."
"Ginji, Mirage said you could stay with Ban for the night." Shido said as he walked in. Ginji nodded happily. "Kazuki, Himiko let's go get some tea." He said with a serious voice. Both of them seemed to understand and followed Shido out of the room.
"What is it Shido?" Kazuki asked.
"I was talking to Mirage and found out something interesting." Shido replied as he put his hands in his pockets. "While she was operating on Midou, his heart stopped three times."
"How is he alive then?" Himiko questioned.
"His heart would start up by itself. He would groan and then be fine." Shido answered.
"Perhaps...he has something to stay alive for?" Kazuki said. Himiko blinked and looked at Kazuki as she remembered the talk she had with Ban. They want Ginji also....Swear to me Himiko...if worse comes to worse, hand over the stupid statues! She smiled.
"I think Midou just wants to die, after this mission is complete." Shido said.
"Shido...you should be nicer..." Kazuki said with a small smile. Shido smirked back before turning and walking out. "Don't worry Himiko, I'm sure Ban will recover." Himiko nodded. Ban will be alright...I know it.
---
He felt heavy. He tried to sit up but something weighed him down. He felt his eyelids open but only saw darkness. He felt himself blink but only saw darkness. "I am dead..." He whispered.
"Not yet Ban," He heard Kazuki's voice say in a soft voice. Ban tried to sit up again, but a soft hand pushed him back down. "You don't want to wake him do you?" Ban blinked against and felt something pressed on his chest. Ban inhaled slowly and nearly smiled. The scent of thunderstorms and cologne tickled his nose. It was Ginji.
"How long have I been out?" Ban asked in a whisper.
"Two days, maybe three." Kazuki answered as he untied Ban's right arm. After the first night, Mirage had removed the IV and the oxygen mask. Once his arm was untied, Ban slowly removed it from under Ginji and put his hand to his eyes. There was a bandage there. "Shall I get Himiko-san?" He asked.
"Yea..." Ban murmured as his hand went to Ginji's shoulder. "I'll wake him." Kazuki smiled and walked out. Ban shook Ginji a bit. The electric eel groaned and turned his head toward Ban's. "Ginji...wake up." Ginji slowly opened his eyes as Ban shook him again. "Dammit Ginji..." He sat up and looked at Ban.
"Ban?"
"Yes?" Ban answered as he sat up. Ginji hugged him suddenly. "Ow, Ginji get off me!" Ginji smiled sheepishly.
"Yea Ginji, he's hurt take it easy." Himiko said as Kazuki led him it.
"I'm fine," Ban protested turning toward Himiko's voice.
"I beg to differ," Kazuki said as he walked to Ban. He held up three fingers in front of Ban's face. "How many fingers am I holding up?" Ban took a deep breath, then exhaled and took a breath again.
"Three," He replied shortly. Kazuki blinked. Ginji laughed and clapped.
"Right Ban! How did you know?" He asked as he looked at his partner. Ban stayed silently before sighing.
"Hey Ban!" Himiko called wanting change the subject. "Mirage left to get some more supplies since you cleaned her out. So she said that Kazuki can cut the bandages from your eyes." Ban tilted his head slightly to her voice.
"So the itomaki is going to cut the bandages? Great..." He said with sarcasm.
"Don't be like that Ban, we were all worried about you." Ginji said with a frown. Ban huffed.
"Fine," He said curtly. Kazuki grabbed knife from the table and walked to Ban. He carefully slipped the knife under the bandages by his temple. He then pulled the knife outward cutting the bandages. They fell around Ban's shoulders and to his lap. Ginji looked at Ban's eyes and saw that his eyes weren't their normal blue.
"Ban...your eyes changed color." He told. Ban didn't look surprised.
"Why doesn't that surprise you Ban?" Himiko asked. Kazuki looked on thoughtfully but not speaking.
"Because this has happened before," Ban said as he rubbed his closed eyes. He opened them again and Ginji noticed they were back to normal.
"Hey....they are back to normal now." Ginji said. "But why would they change in the first place?"
"They are light sensitive after I use the Jagan more than three times." Ban informed as he turned his head to his arm. "They should be fine now..."
"This happened before?" Himiko asked.
"Yea, my grandmother taught me how to cope with it..." He replied as he took the sling off his arm.
"Hey Ban!" Ginji said grabbing Ban's arms trying to stop him. "You need that to heal." Ban turned his head toward Ginji.
"I'm fine Ginji," He replied as he put the sling in his lap. "Would someone get me some clothes and my shades?"
"I'll get clothes," Himiko said as she headed out.
"Really Ban, do you think you should be moving?" Kazuki asked. Ban sighed.
"For the tenth time, I'm fine!" Ginji frowned and grabbed Ban's hand.
"We are just worried." Kazuki watched as Ban's shoulders slumped slightly.
"What have I told you about worrying about me?" Ban asked as he crossed his arms. Ginji blinked then smiled.
"Um...don't?"
"Exactly!" Ban smirked and grabbed Ginji around his neck gently, bring the younger boy closer to him.
"Ack! Ban! Let go!" Ginji protested. Ban laughed and gave Ginji a noogie. "HEY!"
"If I can still move around, I will be fine." Ban said. He loosened his grip to allow Ginji to slip out. "Plus, I need to go visit my grandmother in Kyoto."
"Your grandmother?" Ginji blinked. "Why?"
"Thiras was disowned by her. He hates me from getting more training from her than he could." Ban frowned a bit, before returning to his normal blank face. "I may have gotten my grandmother's attention...." He trailed off. Ginji frowned and put a hand on Ban's shoulder. Kazuki watched as Ban brushed off Ginji's hand.
"Ginji, don't you have Ban's sunglasses?" Kazuki asked. Ginji smiled and nodded, pulled out the glasses.
"I had to get the spares, because the other ones cracked." Ginji explained.
"Thanks Ginji," Ban said as he held out his hand. Ginji frowned and unfolded the glasses while moving closer to Ban. "Ginji...what are you--"
"I'm putting them," His partner replied as he gently slipped the sunglasses on. "There!" He said happily. Ban nodded silently and turned his head toward the door. "What is it Ban?"
"Himiko is back and she brought a friend." The Jagan master replied before snorting. "It's just the monkey trainer."
"I resent that Midou," Shido said as he threw the bag of clothes through the air.
"Shido!" Ginji cried, but Ban caught the bag and put it on his lap. He put his hand in it and shifted through it.
"How did he do that?" Shido asked. Ban smirked as Ginji giggled.
"Ban can you manage to get dressed by yourself?" Himiko asked.
"I'll be fine Himiko, now can you all leave so I can get dressed?" He glared at them. Ginji and Kazuki laughed at Ban as they all left the room. Himiko was kind enough to lock the door on the way out. Ban slowly got up and pulled out his pants and underwear. After getting his underwear on, his hands searched for the button of the pants. Once it was found, Ban was able to put his pants on the right way. He paused and turned his head toward the window. Slowly walking toward the window he opened it and leaned on the sill.
"Thiras...what are you planning?" Ban asked himself as the wind blew into the room. The statues are important...but why Ginji? Ban thought. He heard a click and a door start to open. He stood up straight and turned toward the sound. Ban took a deep breath and inhaled the scent that tickled his nose. He smiled slightly, it was just Ginji. He must have used his electricity to unlock the door.
Ginji stood there and stared at Ban's back. He watched as Ban stood up and turned toward the door. He wondered what was taking Ban so long so he came in to see. Ginji didn't expect to see Ban with his pants unbutton and bare chested. Ban's stomach was covered in bloody bandages as was his arm. Ginji was glad Himiko had given him the new bandages to use one Ban. He saw Ban smile after taking a breath.
"Himiko wants me to change your bandages." The blonde one said. Ban stumbled toward the bed. "Wha! Be careful Ban-chan!" Ginji went to Ban and helped him to the bed.
"I could have made it!" Ban huffed. Ginji smiled and started to remove the old bandages. Ban closed his eyes and just inhaled Ginji scent. Ginji knowing that Ban wouldn't fuss that much with him wrapping him up.
"Hey Ban," He asked. The older boy tilted his head slightly signaling that he was hearing. "Why does your brother want me?" Ban opened his eyes and turned his head to stare at Ginji. The younger boy gulped as he stared into Ban's blind eyes. "I mean...isn't that what...I didn't mean..."
"Ginji," Ban said softly. Ginji closed his mouth and stared at Ban. "Thiras is unpredictable, not even my grandmother knows at he is thinking. So I wouldn't know what he would want with you."
"Oh," Ginji said turned toward the bare back that was in front of him. "Thank you for answering me Ban-chan." He grabbed the new bandage and began to wrap the wound gently.
"Your my partner, I have to tell you stuff." Ban grinned. Ginji laughed and continued with his work. Ban smiled and turned his head toward the window. "Ginji?"
"Hm...?" Ginji replied as he knotted the bandage. Ban grunted as the knot was over top his side. "Sorry..."
"It's alright," Ban said as he put a hand to it. "Hey Ginji, would you like to come with me and visit my grandmother?" The electric eel blinked before turning into his Tare form.
"I get to meet your grandmother! Yay!" He said jumping around. He stopped and looked up at Ban. "Can Shido and Kazu come to?" Ban scowled but sighed.
"As long as you can keep the monket trainer under control."
"YAY!" Ginji jumped on Ban's head. Everyone suddenly came and looked around.
"What's all the commotion?" Kazuki asked.
"Ban-chan's taking us to see his grandmother!" Ginji said happily. Himiko looked at Ban, who just nodded.
"So I guess we are taking the train?" Himiko asked. Shido raised an eyebrow.
"Why, where does his grandmother live?" He asked as he crossed his arms.
"Kyoto..." Ban replied.

"Blind..." Ginji murmured in a dazed state.
"He used his Jagan to give us time to escape..." Shido said. "What a moron, we could of escaped without it." He huffed.
"Shido don't be like that." Kazuki said. "Do you really think all of us would of escaped. I heard the guns being cocked just as we opened the door."
