Nightmares and Sickness

Snow
Chapter Two

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Shin was downstairs making breakfast for everyone, Ryo was in the livingroom with Byakuen, Shuu was just getting down the stairs when he smelt the food he came down right away and of course Touma was still asleep as usual.

"Someone needs to wake Touma up!" Shin shouted as he was finishing with the meal.

Seiji just started walking down the stairs so he said, "I'll get him... I'm right here anyway." He started walking back up the stairs.

Their room was one of the first rooms by the stairs so he got there right away. He opened the door quietly and looked inside to see if his blue haired friend was still asleep. Sure enough he was lying there with his hair just barely seen above the blankets.

Seiji went over to his bed and started to wake the archer up.

"Touma, it's time for breakfast you have to get up."

The archer started to wake up. "Huh?" He said not quite awake yet.

"Breakfast is done. Shin wants us to go down there and eat."

"Okay." He got out of bed and when Seiji left he got his clothes and changed. When he was done he went downstairs to find everyone at the table eating.

"About time." Said Shuu joking around as usual.

"Yeah, Yeah." Was the only response he got from the archer as he sat down and started to get his food.

"So.... do you guys want to go somewhere and have some fun?" Ryo said trying to make some conversation.

"Sure but where are we going to go. It's snowing outside." Said Shin.

"That'll make it even better. We can just go out and have fun in the snow. C'mon it'll be lots of fun!" Ryo said trying to convince them all to go.

"I'm in."

"Yeah, I'll go aswell."

Everyone had agreed to go along with Ryo's idea. Afterall, there was nothing else better to do and there was so much snow that they couldn't get to work.

They finished eating and helped Shin with the dishes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

'Hmmmm.... it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with Seiji today. I wonder what all of that was about yesterday. Maybe I should ask him? Knowing him he probably won't tell me anything.' Touma thought looking at Seiji while grabbing his jacket.

"Hey, Seiji."

"Nani?"

"Ummm... I was just wondering if you were alright."

"Hai."

"Well, what was going on yesterday?"

"Nothing. I just slipped when I got out of bed."

"Seiji, I don't believe you."

"That's what happened. Besides do I look sick to you?"

"Not really."

"Okay. Why are you worried then?"

"It was just kind of weird yesterday. I dont want you to get hurt or anything."

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ryo was right about them all having fun. They were having snowball fights and they had built a couple snowmen. All of them had been out there for hours.

"Anyone want any hot chocolate?" Asked Seiji.

"Are you payin'?" Shuu joked.

Seiji smiled. "Yeah, I'm paying. But only for one drink. I'm not going to be getting everything that you normally do."

"Awww..."

"I'll go with you. You'll need some help carrying everything." Touma said.

"Alright. We can just walk it's only a couple blocks away and the car probably won't get us anywhere anyway."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

On the way Seiji started to feel feverish again. It was getting harder and harder for the blonde to walk and not stumble. He didn't want to worry Touma though so he acted as though everything was alright.

Touma was looking over at the blonde and noticed that he looked even more pale than he normally was. It also looked as though he was having problems breathing. 'Normally he talks more. I wonder is anything is wrong. Maybe it's the same thing as yesterday.'

"Seiji, is everything alright?"

"Of course. Doushite?"

"You just seem more quiet than usual."

"Oh.. well everything's fine."

Touma was going to say something but they were entering the store so stopped.

It was a small brown building, with two big windows; the door was in the middle of the two. In the windows there were some snowmen and snowflakes falling around them.

They got up to the counter and ordered five hot chocolates. They gave the money to the cashier then went on their walk back home.

On their way back Seiji wasn't talking at all and was stumbling a lot more than on the way there. Almost every other step he tripped. His vision was getting blurry too.

"Seiji, I thought you said you were alright."

"I am."

"Seiji, would you stop lying and tell me the truth. You've been stumbling every step and haven't talked this entire time."

"I'm fine." Came the short response again.

Touma was mumbling something about Seiji and stuborn but kept walking without another word. He constantly looked over at the blonde to make sure that he wasn't about to fall.

'There's nothing wrong. Just keep walking.' Seiji tried to convince himself. 'I don't want to worry Touma anymore than what I have.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They had been walking for about five minutes when Seiji couldn't keep walking any further.

Touma heard a moan and looked over to find Seiji on the ground.

"Seiji!?" Touma dropped the cups and went down to Seiji. 'He's burning up. Even more than yesterday.'

Since he couldn't do anything about the fever at the moment the archer picked Seiji up and continued the rest of the way home.

'I wonder what's going on with him. He's fine one moment; then the next he's in pain or something.'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Oi! Someone help me with the door."

He heard some voices behind the door then Ryo opened it. "Seiji?! What happened to him?"

"He has a fever and he fell unconscious while we were walking back." They were talking while Touma was carrying Seiji up the stairs. "He was like this yesterday too except he didn't pass out from it."

They got to the room and Ryo opened the door for Touma. Touma then set the unconscious blonde on his bed.

"Ryo, can you get some water and a towel?"

"Sure."

The archer then noticed that Seiji was tossing in his sleep and muttering things that he couldn't understand.

**Nightmare**

It was pitch black with only one light on. It was shinning on a blonde with his hair covering his left eye; the eye showing was violet. He was tied with chains against a wall. The swordsman tried to move but the chains were too tight.

"Hello, Seiji." A calm voice said from the dark.

"Who are you?" Seiji looked around frantically but couldn't see anything.

"Oh, you'll find out soon enough." The voice taunted him. Then took out a bow and shot an arrow at Seiji's shoulder.

Seiji screamed. "Why did you shoot me? Have I done something to you?"

But the voice didn't answer and shot another arrow; this time at his chest.

Seiji started shaking.

"Seiji! Seiji! Come on, Seiji! Wake up!"

The blonde shot up really fast and started coughing really hard.

The blue-haired grabbed the water Ryo have gotten for him. Ryo had left soon after.

"Here. Drink this."

Seiji drank it and his coughs subsided.

"Arigato."

"No problem. Daijoubu desu ka."

"Hai. I'm fine now."
