------------------------

Shun left the accounting's desk and headed out of the office area. He had just paid for the second quota for Seiya's extended stay and extra psychotherapy sessions, now all was well for another two weeks until he had to pay for the next batch.

His head buried in numbers an calculations while he counted the wad of bills in his pouch. The black leather carrier tied around his waist held all he they owned: Some of Saori's jewelry, a thick wad of bills, keys to the Kido estate, and a growing collection of pawnshop thickets.

He went On oblivious while someone followed him out of the administrative block and into the bedroom's area.

The hospital was busy, visiting hours had just begun and he navigated his way through families and well-wishers milling around the hallways, he ignored them; his head lowered, hands in his bag counting over again his treasure, trying to fit Shiryu and Hyoga into the budget: food and now an extra fee the hotel manager announced he will charge for a 'double occupancy' whatever that was; also their 'escape' money just in case they needed to get away from the social worker. A persistent man in a gray suit, thin and aging with eyes that shone in a way that worried the boy.

- That man was hovering around us since we got here... he will soon be back, I don't think he believed me when I told him oniisan will come for us - The thought of being separated from Seiya at this point was horrifying.

Back at the room, another problem was summoning.

Hyoga was talking at the closed door now.

Shiryu ran away leaving Hyoga to stare at the nurse, his face a blank canvas. The woman left minutes later.

The blond teen had looked at the door his Chinese brother ran out and back at the closed one his youngest Japanese brother hid behind, he walked slowly to it not wanting to but....

"Seiya? Are you alright?"

"Yes" was the quiet answer.

"I..." the Russian boy fumbled for words.

"Do you need a nurse?"

"No... "

"How long have you been in this place?"

"...I ...I am not sure" he sounded distant.

Hyoga sat on the floor and worried his bottom lip with his teeth.

"Seiya?"

Silence.

"Seiya? What is an STD?"

Outside in the hall way, close to the nurse's station.

Shun barely had time to turn when strong arms circled his waist.

"IKKY!!!"

It was the drop that burst the dam in Shun's countenance. The boy was almost hysterical when he hugged his oniisan and proceeded to spill the beans about everything:

From Seiya's rape to his struggle to find everyone, the half truths he told Hyoga and Shiryu when they arrived and the all out lies he told the pawnshop dealer, the hospital, the social worker... It was too much but Ikky nodded sagely and strangely enough he allowed him to curl up in his arms when they found a small sofa in the waiting room.

He melted in the safety of that strong shoulder, even handed over the bag with the money for safe keeping. Ikky nodded to all he said but laced the bag back around the boy's waist.

"I questioned the hospital staff, they mentioned some of this" he said while Shun was hiccuping, a bit calmer now as he rubbed his back.

"You did well ototo. Now common, dry those tears" he took out a dark blue handkerchief and wiped at puffed eyes and red cheeks "we must get the others ."

Shun nodded and led the way back.
