35 // Video

[Somarium, have a panicked broadcast from one of those still severely ill and only getting worse, since he wasn't doing a great job of taking care of himself, so concerned with his roommate. He's clearly flushed, there are dark circles under his eyes and he's sweating and out of breath when the video feed flicks on. One of his lenses also appears to be cracked, but he's paying it no mind. He looks like he's in a darkened room as well, hunched close to the Dreamberry, speaking in hurried hush tones.]

S-Someone has to come help me... There is a man here, I don't know when he arrived, but he tries to kill me in my world and I can't get away from him. He's in my apartment and he's going to kill me!

T-They both want me dead, I know it. Y-Yamamoto-kun? Cavallone-san? Even Hibari-san or Gokudera-kun, one... one of you could stop him right?.. They are here.

You wouldn't let me die here like this, right?

[He suddenly jerks away from the feed, staring at something in terror and the line goes dead with no other warning.]

(( OOC: Shouichi is convinced Byakuran is various members of the Real Six Funeral Wreathes, particularly Kikyo right now. And he can't find Byakuran anywhere, believing him to have told them to kill him himself because of it. ))

What are you doing...?

[Byakuran was there in the doorway. It hurt just to be standing, but he was managing somehow. Luckily he hadn't quite gotten into the hallucinations stage of the illness yet. Shouichi was causing a strange ruckus that he had to investigate.]

[Scrambled up to his feet and backed up a few steps.] I- I could ask you the same. When did you get here...? Where is Byakuran-san?

[Frowning deeply, he shuffled closer, reaching out to touch his face.] Shou-chan.. what are you talking about? You look really bad. Are you okay?

W-What do you want with me?! What did you do with him? You know.... he and I... he wouldn't let you do that anymore. So just go away!

[He wasn't making a lot of coherent sense, but he backs away from that outstretched hand, seeing it as a grab at his throat.]

Shhhhh. Shou-chan..

[That hand came out again, going for his forehead to feel for a fever.] You're probably burning up... you've been taking such good care of me that you're worse, huh? Let's go back to bed.

[Shouichi flinched, backed up as far as he could get without falling onto the bed in his work room where he'd hid himself to make the call.]

B-Byakuran-san would never have you hurt me now... I... I know it. [He's trying to sound defiant, but in his delirious state, he wasn't so sure, which was why he was so terrified.]

It's me. You're just very, very sick...

[Or at least he hoped that's what it was. Otherwise Shouichi was just randomly going insane. He'd prefer if it were only temporary.] You need to lay down. Do we have more soup? I'll make some for you.

[It was like he wasn't able to make sense out of what was being said to him, so he was just lashing out defensively. But the tone was getting through, so it calmed him enough to reply.]

D-Don't do anything you'll regret, he'll just kill you. And he'd do it without a second thought.

... [But since he couldn't get away from the larger man, Shouichi for now would cooperate. He'd look for his chance to escape or hope for the Vongola to come rescue him. Or... maybe Byakuran really would come and call off six. Though... he could only ever picture the one (because he'd only ever seen one... But in his state, that wasn't odd at all.]

I swear, he'd kill you. Byakuran-san is mine.

[Eyes widening at that claim, he just managed to slowly nod, lifting his hands in a light gesture of surrender.]

... all right. All right, he's yours. [Going to play along now, since he obviously wasn't going to be able to convince him that he really was who he said he was.] I'm sure he would kill me for harming you, just like you say.

[His heart refused to slow down and he was insufferably hot, but he was also so so tired, so he looked to the other man in some semblance of resignation.]

W-What do you want with me then? [Suspicious look as he wobbled on his feet and planted himself on the bed anyway.]

I don't want anything. I was looking for Byakuran... sama.

[Added that last bit on carefully. He wasn't sure who Shouichi thought he was, but figured it would be better to err on the side of caution and play the part of a subordinate.] But I found you. It's too cold to venture outside again, so I'll be staying here.

[He winced, sitting down beside him carefully on the bed.]

[He didn't believe him that he wasn't after him, but again for now... he had to wait for the chance to get away.]

It's... so hot in here. Cold sounds good. [Murmured to himself before scooting away a little.]

H-He's not here. I can't... I can't find him.

[His voice hitched at that, clearly upset.]

How'd he get inside of your apartment in the first place? What the hell?

I won't let you die there but try to calm down.

Oi! What are you going on about?

You look ill. You should lie down. What use will you be to him if an illness takes you out? You don't want to worry him, do you?

[He got up then, taking off the blanket he had around his shoulders, plopping it down over Shouichi.] You will rest. If something happens to you, he'll blame me for it.

[The redhead flinched again as the blanket settled around him, but he didn't shrug it off at least.]

I... I was sick, but he's still sick too. I have to find him. You should be out there looking for him, not in here threatening me! [He stood, managing to stay upright long enough to draw himself up to his full height - not saying much - and glared.]

I- I have allies here! And Byakuran-san. So don't... try any-- [And the world spun with a sudden wash of vertigo and he crouched down close to the floor, clutching his head to try and steady himself.]

[He replies in a quiet hush again.] I-I don't know how he got in, but he's here.

I can't calm down, this man tries to kill me and I don't know what he's done with Byakuran-san... or maybe he...!

Kikyo! He's here and he's going to kill me. I- I know we haven't gotten along, but... [And he huddles in, face flushed and eyes wide, tearing up a little in his hysteria.] Save me.

Seriously?

...are you just messing with me? [Brings his face really close to the screen, eyes narrowed]

Yes, yes, they will come kill me to save you, et cetera...

[Concerned, he crouched with him and went to pull him up and get him to lie on the bed, covering him.] If you don't rest up and get better, I will kill you and risk his wrath. So don't make me angry. Understood?

[Shakes his head wildly.] P-please...

I know the others must be here too. A-And they won't stop with me. They'll kill all of you for him, you know!

[ Have a blink, and a bit of a frown. With so many people who have tried to kill Boss, and everyone else, she can't seem to figure out who you mean by "they". ]

Who is there exactly?

[Whoa.

[This guy looks serious, even if he is acting like a whiny bitch. And as the Vongola right hand, it is Gokudera's duty to investigate. Since he's less concerned about the immediate danger to Shouchi, puts him on hold long enough to flip through the contact list and check for any familiar/suspicious names -- and he flips through allll of them, coming up with nothing except for the one known-enemy/asshole.

[WHAT THE FUCK, this bastard had to be fucking with him. The hell sort of game is he playing?]

Tch!

Who the fuck is THEY? I don't see anyone new except that asshole you live with and if he's trying to kill you, that's your own problem.

[Shouichi swallowed hard in fear and nodded silently, cowering under the blanket on the bed, curling up into a fetal position.

But after a moment, he knocked back the blanket with a groan. It was too hot, too too hot. He mumbled incoherently for Byakuran, still totally unaware that he was right there.]

[Hisses in panic.] The Funeral Wreathes, the real ones! [He jumps at a noise that isn't picked up by the Dreamberry and glances away nervously.]

B-Byakuran-san... he wouldn't... we... we've moved past that...
