Days have been Missing: ???

With a breath, Shinomiya slowly opened his eyes. The room was dark, cold and it was all fitting for a situation Shinomiya had already predicted. Shinomiya had already known they had skipped to another town. Satsuma had done this plenty of times before. Shinomiya was beginning to see all of his flaws whose image that used to be so frighting to Shinomiya, had been crumbling right in front of him. He was beginning to predict his behavior. And it was just a matter of time for which Shinomiya was plotting against him. Shinomiya was angry for what he did to Riku. And all that anger boiled inside of him. 

Hiding out in a deserted motel which seemed to age by a minute, Shinomiya tried to cover up with a stupid excuse for a blanket, but it was useless. There was no way, Shinomiya could get any kind of sleep which Satsuma was throwing a fit in the other room. Growling, kicking and punching the wall as he cruised the ceiling with every profanity. Nevertheless, the poor conductions of the motel, made Shinomiya feel disgusting. The room was cloudy of dust and smoke and trash lingered all over the floor. The bed was old and dusty for which, Shinomiya insisted of sitting in a chair rather than laying down on such a filthy mattress. 

I just need to get to some kind of phone... Shinomiya previously thought. Sitting in the chair next to the window, he slightly glances out the window and into the night sky. A street light had flickered on and just like that, he saw an old payphone just outside his window. 

"HEY!" With a grip of his hand, he grabbed a hold of Shinomiya's hair as he pulled him back from the chair,"Don't get any ideas, Pretty-boy!" Satsuma pushed him on the bed. 

"Now, what do I have to do to get you to listen?" Satsuma asked as he crawled on top of Shinomiya on the bed. Shinomiya felt his skin crawl and his stomach turn,"If you do this to me..," Shinomiya began as he flickered his eyes of hatred at satsuma,"I'll never forgive you."

"Oh?" Satsuma raised an eyebrow, "When did you get so fucking cocky you little shit!?"

His fucking crazy! Frist, it was Princess this and Princess that...Now he is filled with anger...But why he is so mad? Had it been because of Riku? He was jealous of our "Close friendship" wasn't he? 

And with a fist...

Now he's taking his anger out on me!

Shinomiya grabbed his fist right before it hit him. 

Satsuma was shocked, "You caught my fist?"

 Shinomiya then pushed Satsuma off the bed, But satsuma grabbed his arm as they both landed on the floor with a thud. Shinomiya landing on top of him as he placed his hands around Satsuma's neck. 

"You think you can beat me, Princess?"  Satsuma managed to say as he took his arm and with a fierce fist punched him in the temple of his head as Shinomiya went down. 

"So what's up with you? You think you can take out all your anger on me?" Satsuma laughed,"Hey...That's not a bad idea," As he turned to Shinomiya with a sinister grin. 

Shinomiya stood up, It's now or never...

...

Nanashima flickered his eyes open as he sat up in a panic, "What the fuck was that?" 

Nagashima had nodded off while hanging out with the rest of the gang, at Nishina's house. 

"Hey Nanashima, you okay?" Nishina asked. 

"Yeah...just a dream I guess," Nanashima was on the couch where he fell asleep watching T.V, while the rest was all at the table playing cards. 

It has been almost a week since Serinuma lost her memories of Shinomiya...Nanashima excused himself from the couch.

I can't help but feel guilty...I was the only who blamed him for Seriuma's sadness. But now I know I shouldn't have done that. Because now, all this is eating at me. Why was a so selfish? Wanting to keep Seriuma to myself?  He thought to himself as he walked into the bathroom.

She was in so much pain and it killed me seeing her like that...But now I feel odd about this whole situation. Everyone is playing along for Seriuma's sake. But is it okay to go on without Shinomiya? I can't help but feel shameful for it... Nanashima stood in the bathroom as he leans his hands on the sink, staring down the drain. 

I mean...nothing has really changed without him...yet... Nanashima recalled the memories of all of them together. I can't shake this unsettling feeling...

He sighed, What's more, is that I've been having strange dreams...

...Dreaming about...him...

He stared at his reflection in the mirror as he took both hands and slapped his cheeks, "What am I saying?" Unless...the dream is, somehow connected?

*Beep* Beep* Nanashima's phone suddenly went off, he took his phone and glanced at his notifactions. 

MOM: CALL ME ASAP! 

Mom? Nanashima questioned. 

The phone rang once and then within a second,"NANA!" 

"WHAT'S WRO-"

"I'M STUCK IN TRAFFIC! BUT I NEED YOU TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL!"

"WHAT!? WHAT HAPP-"

"IT'S KIRARI! SHE'S IN THE HOSPITAL!"

With a dash, Nanashima darted out of the bathroom and ran out of Nishin's house without a word. 

"Hey, Where is Nana going!?" Serinuma wondered. 

"I'll go check it out," Igarashi said. 

"Okay just text us if everything is okay!" Nishina said.

Nanashima ran down the street without a second to spare. 

"NANSHIMA!" A voice called for him, he turned around to see Igarashi who caught up to him as he stops momentarily to caught him breathe,"Where are you goi-" 

"I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN BUT IT'S KIRARI!" Nanashima told him as he picked up his feet and started to run. 

"Where to?" Igarashi asked running next to him. 

"The Hospital!" Nanashima said with concern. 

***

The doors slide open as two teenage boys ran to the front desk frantically. 

With a loud slam, Nanashima slammed his hand on the front desk,"WHERE'S NANASHIMA KIRARI!?"

"I'm sorry but no one is allowed to see her unless you are an immediate fam-" The front desk nurse was suddenly interrupted. 

"I'M HER BROTHER!" Nanashima protested. 

"Sir I need you to calm down, and..," but suddenly a man approached the teen,"Are you a relative to Nanashima Kirari?"

"I'M HER BROTHER! WHAT HAPPENED!?" Nanashima spat out.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Yuu-Lee and I'm caring for your little sister. If you can follow me I can take you to her room," Dr. Yuu-Lee said. 

Nanashima turned to Igarashi who stated,"I'll wait out here," as Nana nodded his head and followed the doctor. 

"WHAT HAPPENED TO HER DOC!?" Nanashima insisted. 

"I can't disclose this out loud until we are in her room to discuss farther treatment," Dr. Yuu-Lee stated rather quietly. 

"Farther treatment?" Nanashima began to worry. 

Soon they had reached to her room as Dr. Yuu-Lee opened the door to see Kirari in the bed and Nanashima saw his grandfather in a chair next to her. 

"Hello everyone how are we feeling?" Dr. Yuu-Lee asked. 

"Oh Nanashima, you came." Grandpa Nanashima said. 

"Grandpa?" Nanashima said. 

They embrace a short hug then turned to the doctor as he stated,"Kirari was brought in by grandpa Nanashima with a high temperature of 103.5," After registering her into her room we gave an IV of fluids to reduce the fever. After an hour her fever reached a dangerous 104.3 which Kirari had a minor seizure. We were able to reduce her back down to 99.8 (F), however, it is still mildly high for someone her size and it is rather important if she stays overnight so we can monitor for other possible seizures." Dr. Yuu-Lee expressed. 

"Oh wow, Okay. Our mom is in traffic but she should come within the hour or so...Is it possible if one of us can stay the night with her?" Nanashima asked. 

"It is possible, but the conditions are the same for everyone else and we only allow one person to stay overnight with a patient," Dr. Yuu-Lee stated,"Perhaps once you mother come in, you two can discuss which one can stay the night with Kirari." 

Suddenly in the distance, Kirari mumbled as she sat up and rubbed her eyes,"Nanashima?"

"Oh good, you're awake! How are you feeling?" Nanashima asked. 

"I feel funny," Kirari said,"But I feel better since you're here," She smiled. 

Nanashima smiled as he gave her a hug,"I'm glad you're okay for now,"

"Hey, can I go home now?" Kirari asked the doctor, with a slightly turned head. 

"Well... actually, we scheduled you to have a sleepover," The doc smiled gently. 

"A sleepover?" Kirari asked. 

"Yeah, it'll be fun. You can watch T.V and order any types of food that you want," He smiled again. 

"OOhhh, like room service!?" Kirari said. 

"Exactly," The doc said. 

Kirari smiled,"Can Nana sleepover too?"   

"of crouse," The doc smiled,"Well I have to go now, But I'll come back to check up on you guys."

"Thanks, doc," Nanashima said as the doc left to closed the door. 

"Grandpa, Thanks for being with her," Nanashima said. 

"Well of crouse, I wasn't planning on leaving her, you know," Grandpa Nanashima said with a sigh. 

"You okay, pops?" Nanashima asked.

"I was just scared. When you're old like me, you tend to forget the dangers of fevers for young children and begin to look out for your own health. I'm just glad she's safe now," Grandpa Nanashima said. 

"Me too," Nanashima said. 

"Nana, where is the remote? I wanna watch TV," Kirari said. 

"Okay, sure," Nanashima found the remote on the counter which had a cord attached to the bed, he handed his sister the remote which she then turn on the T.V on the wall.

"Well, I better get going...I left the house so fast I forgot my phone at your place...and I didn't mention our whereabouts," Grandpa Nanashima said. 

"You can use my phone if you need to call her," Nanashima said as he gave him his phone. 

"Okay, thank you!" Grandpa said with a smile. 

"Hey, Gramps?" Nanashima asked. 

"Yes?" Grandpa said. 

"Igarashi is in the waiting room, Can you just let him know that I'll be staying? I just don't wanna leave Kirari alone," Nanashima said.  

"Sure thing Kiddo! Kirari is lucky to have such a responsible big brother looking out for her," He smiled,"I'll go ahead and find Igarashi for you and use the phone out in the waiting room," 

"Okay, see ya soon. Thanks!" Nanashima said. 

"bye Grandpa," Kirari said. 

Grandpa walked up to Kirari as he leaned forward and placed a wrinkly kiss on her forehead,"Bye sweetheart, get some rest kiddo!" 

"I will," Kirari smiled gently. 

***

Outside of the waiting room, Igarashi sat patiently. I sure hope Kirari is okay...

Igarashi blinked to see Grandpa Nanashima who walked into the waiting room and greeted Igarashi with a smile and a wave," Igarashi, my boy..," 

Igarashi stood up,"Grandpa Nanashima!" 

"It's been awhile, how are you?" Grandpa asked with his hands in his pockets. 

"To be honest I'm a bit worried...Is Kirari okay?" Igarashi asked as he strechted the back of his head. 

"Hm? Yeah, she's doing much better. She's in good hands. You don't need to worry about anything. It's not good for your health." He said as a matter of fact, but his gentle smiled fainted as he then said," I heard about your friends Shinomiya...," He paused as Igarashi looked a little down, as Gramps said," I'm sorry to hear about it. I wanted to say something to Nanashima as well but with him worrying over his sister, I thought it wasn't necessary to distress him," Grandpa said. 

"It'll be okay Gramps. The police are doing everything that they can. Even Shinomiya's family moved back home to wait for his return," Igarashi said. 

"I think that's wonderful. However, you kids don't need to make yourself sick over the situation, yes it's hard to get by but you kids need to worry about your own health, got it? And Everything that has happened it is all up to Buddha or God to resolve everything. Don't forget that either," Grandpa said. 

"I understand. Thank you for your concern." Igarashi politely bowed his head as Grandpa smiled. 

"Okay kiddo, I'm heading out okay. Be sure to take care of yourself." He said as he waved goodbye. 

"Bye gramps," Igarashi smiled and soon Grandpa was out the door. 

Igarashi decided he ought to use the bathroom before he finally leaves the hospital. He pulled out his phone and decided everyone else at Ninshina's place letting them know everything was okay. 

Ninshina: Hey is everything okay? (Seen)

Igarashi: (...)*Igarashi is typing*

Nishina watched the screen has a bubble appeared. 

Igarashi: Yeah Nanashima's lil sis is at the hospital, but grandpa Nanashima told me she's doing okay and said not to worry. Nanashima decided to stay at the hospital of crouse.  

Igarashi walked down the hall as he texted back on his phone but as he did he brushed against a patient. 

For a split second, Igarashi saw Shinomiya dressed in a hospital gown. 

"Shinomiya?" He asked but as soon as the words came out he blinked and instead of Shinomiya he saw someone completely different. The patient was slightly shorter then Igarashi with med dark hair which was pulled back into a small ponytail, bang's in the face. The patient looked slightly androgynous judging by the slender and pale complex.

"Oh sorry about that, you okay? I hope I didn't hurt you," Igarashi said with a gentle smile. 

Instead, the person just stared wide-eyed at Igarashi,"What did you just call me?" 

"Oh that, sorry for some weird reason I thought you were someone else," Igarashi confessed. 

"Sinomiya...Did you know Shinomiya...?" The boy asked. 

"...Actually, yeah I did...," Igarashi confessed. 

Suddenly, the boy took Igarashi's arm as he walked into the bathroom.

"Hey man, what's the deal?" Igarashi asked.

"I was with him...," The boy confessed. 

Igarashi blinked, "Huh?"

"The media hasn't released anything about it yet but when they do everyone ought to be on the lookout for the masked man," The boy said. 

"Wait, why are you telling me this?" Igarashi asked. 

"Aren't you close to him?" The boy said. 

"Yeah I am but talking to me isn't gonna solve anything...unless" Igarashi took his phone and realized he had one of the investigator's number one the case,"I have one of the investigator's number!" Igarashi stated.
