Nightmares and Sickness
Chapter Eight
Almost there
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They all stopped.
"Why? What's wrong?" Touma asked worriedly.
Tomo smirked. 'The poison most be taking a stronger hold.'
Ryo saw his smirk. "What did you do to him?"
"I didn't do anything." He lied.
"Don't lie--"
"We can't worry about him now. We need to get Seiji to the hospital." Shuu cut Ryo off. He started walking again, trying to ignore Seiji's whimpers.
They all continued walking silently.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The troopers and Tomo had been walking for about an hour when Seiji started to come around.
He felt immense pain when he woke up and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Shuu stopped, as did everyone else.
"That's not good. We still have a ways to go." Shuu whispered, more to himself than anyone else.
He carefully sat Seiji down.
The blonde slowly opened his eyes. "Where are we?" He asked quietly.
"Don't worry about it. Just go back to sleep." Touma said comfortingly.
He had came over when he heart Seiji.
You could tell he was still very tired because he could barely keep his eyes open.
"What's going on?" Seiji said after looking around and noticing that they were surrounded by trees. He started to sit up but was pushed back down by Touma.
"We'll tell you everything later. You're very sick and wounded; you should go back to sleep."
"....Touma?" He asked sleepily, when he remembered what had happened before he passed out.
"Don't worry." Touma reassured him. He didn't know who Tomo was but figured that it was the guy Ryo was holding. Touma and the others never found out what his name was.
Seiji could no longer stay awake so he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Touma put his head on Seiji's forhead in hope that his temperature would have dropped. No luck. It was still really high.
Shuu picked Seiji up again and continued following Byakuen, still getting some moans of protest from Seiji.
'At least he didn't insist on staying awake.' Shuu thought relieved and worriedly. Normally Seiji would have insisted that he was alright and that he should walk instead of being carried.
'It would be so easy to escape right now, with the guy holding Seiji and with the blue-haired on being supported by the other guy. They wouldn't even notice if I knocked Ryo out and ran.' He reconsidered. 'Well, they might notice him being knocked out but they wouldn't be able to catch me.'
Ryo noticed a look of thoughtfulness fall over Tomo's face and couldn't help but wonder what Tomo was up to. 'It doesn't matter. It won't work.'
'I won't try to get away quite yet. I want to see Seiji suffer as much as I can.' Tomo thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
About another hour later Seiji started to stir again.
'We can't keep stopping. I'm just going to have to keep walking.' Shuu thought regretfully, thinking of how much pain Seiji was probably in.
Seiji opened his eyes. "Shuu....?"
"Don't worry. Everything is alright." Shuu reassured him.
Seiji tried to say something but an intense wave of pain came then started to cough.
Shuu stopped for Seiji. He knew he couldn't stop long but decided it best so Seiji could control his breathing.
"How are you feeling, Seiji?" Ryo asked.
Tomo chuckled. "By the looks of it --"
Ryo hit him hard rendering him unconscious.
"Ryo!" Shin shouted, even though he thought Tomo deserved it as well.
"I'm tired of his comments and his smirks when he's thinking! Besides not only did he tortured Seiji but he also shot Touma!"
"I say we leave here to die!" Shuu said out of anger.
"Believe me, I'd be more than happy to do that but when he wakes up he'll probably find his way out. I mean, he did have his house in here after all." Shin said.
"Who cares. Let's --" Ryo was about to argue more, his temper getting the better of him.
"Stop arguing! Pick him up or drag him for all I care!" Touma said angrily. "We need to get Seiji to the hospital; that's way more important than bothering wtih Tomo!"
"Arigato, Touma." Seiji was thankful that Touma had stopped their arguing. It was making his headache much more worse than it was already. He felt very weak and was having problems keeping his eyes open.
He started to cough again. Shuu picked him up again (after his coughs had eased up) and follow Byakuen once again. Ryo had also decided to drag Tomo behind him. He didn't want him out of his site.
Shuu knew that Seiji was in a lot of pain but alos knew that he desperately needed to get to the hospital.
Shuu almost stopped when he felt Seiji shaking violently but reminded himself to keep going. 'He has to get to the hospital!' He kept telling himself over and over again to remind himself not to stop.
Shuu held Seiji closer hoping that maybe his body heat would help him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Touma kept looking over at Seiji and felt really bad for him. He wished he could do something, anything for him. He saw Shuu pull Seiji closer to him. 'I wish I could be the one doing that.' He thought but knew it was impossible considering he could barely support himself.
The archer kept blaming himself for Seiji's pain but deep down he knew it wasn't his fault and that he shouldn't be thinking that.
He didn't care though. He just wanted to hear Seiji's laughter. Some people say that Seiji was cold and didn't care about much people. The troopers knew that not to be true, especially Touma. Seiji had opened up to him most of all. Touma could readily read Seiji's face and tell when something was wrong even when Seiji tried to hide it because of his pride.
He looked back again. His heart nearly broke at the scene. Seiji was shivering violently and by the looks over it he was in intense pain. Every once in a while Seiji would groan in pain. He was even more pale, if possible, and was covered in sweat. A few times it looked as though Seiji was going to throw up.
'We still don't know how he even sick in the first place.' Touma thought. 'I don't think it's a normaly sickness becasue he's gotten sick maybe twice the whole time we've known each other.'
He voiced his thoughts to the others.
"Tomo must have done something to him." Ryo said angrily. He thought Tomo had lied to him before.
"I agree, even though we don't have any evidence Seiji is very rarely sick; even when he is sick it's not this long nor as bad." Shin decided that it had to have been Touma.
"What could he have done though?" Ryo asked.
"Poison?" Tkouma suggested after he had though of their fights. A few of their enemies had used poison before but it was pretty clear it was poison. This time it was different.
"It has to be poison." He was pretty sure it was. "Seiji did just get sick all of a sudden. He was fine one day; then could barely walk, not to mention sit up."
"Kuso! Tomo must have poisoned him!" Ryo said.
They had all been convinced that it was him that had poisoned Seiji.
"The question is: Does he have the antidote and if so does he have it with him?"
"We can ask him when he wakes up."
"I doubt he'll give us a straight answer."
"You're probably right but we'll have to try."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Seiji had been more than happy to fall unconscious for the pain was almost unbearable. He didn't get to enjoy it long though.
The first thing he noticed when he awoke was that the pain was back. He let out a moan before he could stop it.
Seiji tried to open his eyes to find out what was going on but couldn't. He remembered that Tomo had him and started struggling in Shuu's arms trying to get free. He couldn't remember that Tomo had been caught and that the troopers had rescued him.
"Seiji. Stop." Shuu had been shocked Seiji started to struggle in his arms and was having trouble holding him.
Touma saw what was going on and came over to Shuu with Shin supporting him.
"Seiji, calm down. Everything's alright."
Touma said confortingly. "No one's going to hurt you. Stop struggling."
'I know that voice.' Seiji thought. After a while he recognized it.
"Touma." He whispered the archer's name and stopped moving.
"Yeah, Seiji. It's me." He was relieved when Seiji stopped struggling. It wasn't helping his condition any.
Seiji looked over and saw Touma. He gave a faint smile and closed his eyes again. It was hard just keeing them open for a few seconds.
Touma smiled back. "Just hang on Seiji, we're almost there."
