Nightmares and Sickness

Chapter Twelve

Memories

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

After the doctor administered what they thought was the antidote, he checked Seiji's pulse and found it was very weak. Not a good sign but at least he had one.

The troopers just sat there watching helplessly, hoping that it was the antidote that they gave him and not something that would make him worse. After about a minute Seiji started shaking violently. Not the reaction they had hoped for. Then Seiji started screaming and clutching his chest, very tightly.

"I think it just made him worse." Touma said frightened by the sight before him. He never wanted to see anyone in this much pain, especially Seiji.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't've brought it." Ryo said falling to the ground slowly, against the wall he had been leaning on when he first saw Seiji's reaction.

Shin went to him and conforted him, telling him it wasn't his fault. He was also horrified by what had happened to Seiji but it really wasn't Ryo's fault and he couldn't let him think that.

The doctor had been trying to hold the blonde still by himself, which of course wasn't working so he yelled at the others to help him.

The doctor was still struggling to keep Seiji from moving, the others were having trouble as well.

"Damn! He's really strong!" Shuu said.

No one could disagree with that statement.

Finally Seiji calmed down, well, stopped moving at least. His body no longer putting up with his movements. He was breathing really heavily and he was still shaking.

They all sighed. They thought he would never stop.

Seiji's hand was still clutching his chest but it seemed like he wasn't in as much pain as before. Before his hand was practically tring to rip his heart from his chest; now he just had his hand slightly gripping his chest.

The doctor placed his hand on Seiji's forhead. He gave a slight smile. "It seems that his fever had decreased quite a bit. I think that the worse is over."

Touma didn't believe it, before he could get his hopes up he had to check for himself. He went next to the doctor and felt Seiji's forhead. He smiled. "I think that really was the antidote." He said happily.

They all smiled.

"Not to alarm you or anything but he's still not fully recovered physically and I don't know what happened to him but for him to get so many injuries it was probably a very traumatic experience for him. It probably caused a lot of emotional stress." The doctor said trying to stay realistic. He hated to give bad news to them but didn't have a choice.

The troopers smile faded and they frowned at the thought of Tomo. They were all glad that he was dead and had no chance of coming back to hurt Seiji ever again but he had caused Seiji a lot of pain before he had died. None of them were glad about that.

"He'll be alright. He's survived so far and he had to have gone through the worst part already." Touma said, meaning every word. 'Seiji couldn't die.' His mind screamed at him.

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

It had been a long time later that when Seiji finally opened his violet eyes, his vision was blurry. Once his eyes had focused the first thing he noticed was Touma fast asleep with his head resting on his bed. He smiled; then noticed something felt different. The blonde remembered talking with Touma and smiled when he thought about their conversation. Then it hit him. He knew what felt different. He no longer felt as much pain! Sure, there was still some lingering pain but what would you expect having all the injuries he had? 'It must have worked!' The swordsman realized about the antidote that they said they were going to try.

He felt the archer beside him stir bringing him out of his thoughts.

Touma opened his eyes. When he sat up he was shocked. Seiji's eyes were opened! "Daijoubu desu ka." He asked excitedly, noticing that Seiji didn't look like he was in as much pain as before.

Seiji opened his mouth about to say somethin gbut his voice wouldn't work. It was then that he noticed his throat was really dry. He had been too preoccupied with his thoughts to notice it before but now that he was trying to talk it made itself clear.

Touma frowned at first wondering why Seiji had stopped. 'Oh, he must need something to drink.' He mentally slapped himself. 'Why didn't I think of it sooner? Of course he need something to drink, he hasn't anything to drink or eat for days.' The archer hled up his index finger showing Seiji wait. He went to the bathroom and filled a cut with water. He came back and helped Seiji drink it. He was concerned at the blonde's weakness, he wasn't able to even try to get himself into a sitting position but I guess it was to be expected. Touma knew that he would be back to full strength soon enough.

After Seiji drank the water, which he had quickly drank it all, Touma set the cup to the side and sat back down.

He looked into Seiji's violet eyes seeing some of their usual spark coming back. He smiled and gently placed his hand on Seiji's forhead once again. He was relieved when he felt that he only had a slight fever.

Seiji noticed the relieved look on Touma's face and took that as a very good sign. He thought he must be recovering, why else would Touma look so happy?

"You know, Seiji, you gave us all quite a scare. You were out for a long time. We were all very worried." Touma said sadly.

"How long was I out for?" Seiji asked still weak.

"About two days."

Seiji's eyes widened. He couldn't believe he'd sleep for that long. When he got over the shock he brought his hadn up and placed it on Touma's cheek. "Gomen, Touma. I really didn't mean to worry you guys so much."

Touma put his hand over Seiji's. "I know." He smiled. "I'm just so happy you're alive."

Seiji smiled back and then lowered his hand back to where it was. Even though it was such a little movement it had tired him, well, it's not like he wasn't tired already.

Touma kissed Seiji, happy that he was still able to.

A while after they had broken their kiss Ryo, Shin and Shuu walked in. They saw that Seiji's eyes were open and they were all filled with joy.

"You're finally awake!" Shuu shouted.

Seiji grimanced slightly but quickly smiled. "Yeah, but please not so loud Shuu." The blonde still had a headache.

Shuu put his hadn over his mouth and whispered an, "I'm sorry," through his hands.

Seiji chuckled, which quickly turned into coughing. To Seiji's as well as everyone else's relief, his coughing fit didn't last long, which showed improvement.

"So, how are you feeling?" Ryo asked. Not really the smartest question to ask a sick friend that had been poisoned as well as tortured, but it couldn't be helped. Seeing that Seiji looked better it probably wouldn't be that bad of a reponse.

The blonde cleared his throat. "Better." His answer was actually true this time. He felt much better than the last time he was awake.

They talked for a while longer and after soon time the doctor came in. "I see that you're finally awake." He smiled. "How are you feeling?" The doctor asked concerned.

Seiji was getting tired of that question but knew that they were only concerned.

"Better than before." He replied again.

"Well, I hope so with how long you slept." The doctor said joking. Then he looked at the other troopers. "Can you excuse us while I check his injuries?"

"Of course." Shin said.

"We'll come right back, Seiji." Touma said. Then they all left.

The doctor turned towards Seiji. "Shall we get started?" At Seiji's nod he set his clipboard down and started to reach towards Seiji's arm.

Seiji flinched when he did, memories of what Tomo had done flashed through his mind. He tried to get away from the doctor but realized he couldn't get anywhere since he was lying down in the bed with no where to go and his body very weak. He started to scream, feeling trapped.

The doctor immediately pulled back when Seiji had flinched and tried to get away from him. He was afraid something like this was going to happen.

"Date-san! Date-san, please calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." He tried to calm the blonde down. When Seiji didn't stop he knew that an unfamiliar voice wasn't going to help him any.

He really didn't want to leave Seiji in this state but knew that he had no other choice. The doctor ran out of the room and turned the corner, finding the people he was looking for.

The four troopers starred up at him in shock, seeing that he was in such a hurry.

Touma was the first to speak. "What happened to him?" It was obvious as to who he was referring to. It was also obvious that something bad had happened since the doctor rushed out looking for them.

"Later." The doctor said worriedly. "Follow me."

The troopers quickly went after the doctor who had left before they could say anything else.

As they got close to the room they could hear Seiji's screams.

'What happened to him?' Touma thought worried. He looked at the doctor. 'Did he do something to him?'

They entered and found that Seiji had somehow curled into a ball as best he could. He was covering his ears with his arms wrapped around his head and he was still screaming.

Touma immediately went to his side. He made sure he was facing him and Touma tried to pull away Seiji's arms so he'd be able to see the it was him. Seiji only tried to move farther away from him.

"Seiji." He started soothingly. "It's me, Touma. Everything is alright. No one's going to hurt you. I promise."

The doctor and the others just stayed where they were, seeing that Touma had everything under control when Seiji finally stopped screaming.

However, he still tried to get away from Touma.

The blue-haired archer just kept repeating soothing words to Seiji hoping that he'd realize that he was in no danger.

After a minute Touma was finally able to put his hand on Seiji's and it calmed him down, being familiar with the touch. Seiji fell into an exhausted sleep.

When Touma was sure he was asleep he turned to the doctor. The archer looked none too happy and the doctor nearly took a step back but resisted. "So, wha happened?" Touma asked angrily.

"I swear I did nothing." He explained. "When I went to touch him, to only check his injuries of course, he backed away from me and started screaming." He was being cautious, seeing that Touma looked as though he was ready to kill. "It was probably because of his past experience from where he got his injuries." He said, relieved when Touma's angry stare finally softened a little, finding out that the doctor didn't do anything to Seiji.

Touma hadn't seen any deception in the doctor's eyes and didn't hear any in his voice either.

"That scared the shit out of me!" Shuu said all of a sudden from where he was watching the scene.

"Yeah, it's a good thing Touma was able to calm him down." Ryo said.

"That's for sure." Shin agreed with both their statements.

"I still have to check Date-san's injuries though." The doctor said after realizing that he never did.

"You can do that now, but I'm not leaving again." Touma said. He wouldn't leave Seiji alone again.
