"Good, you're awake," Wufei said coolly when he came in on Rin using the conscious Sesshou as a pillow. Rin sat up and blushed slightly, but Sesshou just smirked. He propped himself up against the head of the bed and glanced at Wufei.

"Seems so," Sesshou added. Wufei crossed his arms and raised a brow at him.

"Now explain yourself," Wufei demanded. Sesshou's eyes stretched a bit and Rin looked nervous.

"Do you really need to know?" Sesshou refuted.

"There's a hole in the roof," he emphasized. "So yeah, I do need to know."

"Uh…it was there when we got there…" Rin declared with a doubtful tone. Sesshou looked at her as if she was crazy and Wufei just shook his head.

"Nope, that didn't happen," he stated. "Now tell me."

"Well, you see…um…" Rin was stopped when Sesshou put his hand on her shoulder. She looked back wondering why he had stopped her and he just smiled. Sesshou looked up at his friend and shrugged.

"Fine, I'll tell you the straight out truth, but you have to fix it so that I'm Rin's rightful guardian in the eyes of social services," Sesshou bargained. Wufei considered this for a moment then spoke.

"Easily done. It's a deal," Wufei agreed. "Now fess up."

"Okay, here it goes," Sesshou began. "The elevator stopped when we were coming up to see you then it began to fall down the shaft, so I unknowingly changed into a turbo person or something, broke the glass elevator ceiling with an energy cord from my hand, then leaped halfway up the shaft, began rebounded side to side, and crashed through the roof."

Wufei stared at Sesshou with a hard gaze, then closed his eyes.

"See? That wasn't so hard," Wufei said calmly. Both Rin and Sesshou's eyes widened with surprise.

"You…You actually believe us?" Rin inquired. Wufei grinned and looked up.

"Of course I do," he responded. Sesshou was shocked at his friend's trustworthy behavior; a trait not common in Wufei.

"But…uh," Sesshou searched for the words to express his disbelief in Wufei's belief. Wufei held his hand up to halt Sesshou's babbling.

"Remember the surveillance tape I gave you from the bus?" Wufei pointed out. Sesshou was confused a moment more and then a look of understanding spread over his features followed by a his usual flat expression.

"So you're…okay with what happened there?" Sesshou pondered. Wufei smirked and scoffed wistfully.

"Trust me, I've done worse," Wufei admitted.
