We're back again my lovely readers! Me and QuantumParadigmShift were able to talk to each other last night and this is what we came up with. We hope you like it

"Astral, Astral! Come on, you gotta get up! Astral!" Yuma cried as he shook Astral trying to wake him, but Astral didn't respond. 'I have to get Astral some kind of help.' Yuma thought to himself, as he got up to get his dad Kazuma. Yuma ran straight back home, worried about leaving Astral alone for too long. Yuma burst through the door yelling for help. "Help! Help! Mom, Dad!" Kazuma thundered into the room, wondering why his son was shouting. "Yuma, is there something wrong? Kazuma asked. "It's Astral! He passed out again!" Yuma cried "Where is he?" Mira asked worriedly. "He's in the woods." Yuma said running out the door with Kazuma and Mira following right behind him.

They made it back to the woods in a couple of minutes, and found Astral slowly waking up.

"Astral." Kazuma said, slightly getting Astral's attention. "Huh...?" Astral's head moves to the side slightly. "Are you alright?" Kazuma asked. "I-I think so." Astral replied, still holding his head from the pain. "I'm o glad you're awake." Yuma said, as he had been very worried about leaving his brother alone. 'What did Dark Mist do to me this time, and why did he leave something behind in my head?' Astral thought to himself. "I'll be fine Yuma." Astral said as he tried to get up. But he fell back slightly from dizziness.

"Are you alright sweetheart?" Mira asked. "I'm just feeling a little dizzy." Astral said holding his head, trying to steady his vision. Astral groaned and held his head in pain. "What's wrong?" Yuma kneels beside Astral, very worried. "It's just a headache." Astral said, rubbing his temples to ease the pain. "Come on, let's get you home." Kazuma said as he picks up Astral, and everyone stands to make there way home. "And thus my plan is set into motion." Dark Mist said quietly to himself, as he watched Kazuma carry Astral home.

*Time Skip to Home*

Yuma opened the door so Kazuma could take Astral up to his room to rest. "You should rest for a while." Yuma said, directing Astral down to his bed. Astral had a bad feeling about resting. 'What is Dark Mist planning, and what did he do to me?' Astral thought to himself. "You know you can tell me anything, right?" "I don't want to talk about it Yuma." Astral said looking away from his brother.

"Alright, If you don't want to tell me, that's up to you. I was just trying to help." Yuma said, making his way to the door to go down stairs. "Yuma... wait." Astral said, stopping Yuma from leaving. "Yes Astral?" Yuma turned to face his brother. "W-will you stay with me, until I fall asleep?" Astral asked looking down. Yuma nodded. "Of course Astral." Yuma held Astral's hand to comfort him. "Astral, what did Dark Mist do to you?" Yuma asked Astral, hoping he would tell him. "What do you mean Yuma?" Astral asked. "Well, you know how Dark Mist said that he gave you a "little something" right?" "Yes..." Astral replied, looking away from Yuma. "I was wondering if you knew what it was." Yuma hadn't let go of his hand.

"I'd rather not talk about it." Astral said, still looking away from him. "Are you sure?" Yuma asked with concern in his voice. "The truth is, he left something behind... in my head. But I don't know what it is or how to get it out." Astral said, tightening his grip on Yuma's hand. "Do you know what this "thing" of his will do to you?" Yuma asked, very worried about what this thing that Dark Mist left behind will do to Astral's head. "No." Astral said, feeling tired. Yuma sighed. "There's nothing we can really do right now, is there?" "No, not at the moment." Astral said yawning. "You should rest now. We'll see how you feel when you wake later, okay?" Yuma said. Astral nodded and closed his eyes to sleep.
