WARNING! At the end of this part, you may be a little bit upset. I'm warning you now because I know how people get so worked up about this sort of stuff. I'll also leave a warning when we're near that part of the story, in case people don't want to read on.

For the rest of the day, Killua had decided to crawl into bed with you, hugging you tightly from behind in a warm embrace as you slept peacefully. Despite his promise to sleep, all he really did was close his eyes and bury his face in your hair, wrapping a lock of it around his finger and twirling it gently. This action itself made him more comfortable and soon enough, he felt himself drift off into sleep.

It was around midnight that you began to wake up, coughing a little as you realised it was dark and you could see nothing. A small wave of panic set in when you forgot who was holding you, and then you felt the grip tighten and you instantly remembered what had happened before you fell asleep.

I’m just glad he’s finally getting some sleep...and that he trusts me. You smiled at the thoughts that entered your head, as you yawned and felt a little light-headed. You knew that you weren’t going to be sick - you could usually tell when that happened. It was just a normal side effect to feeling ill, and that was all it would be.

You jumped when you felt Killua squirm a little in his sleep. You moved your head over to catch a glimpse of him, and then you saw his troubled face, since your eyes adjusted to the darkness that surrounded you.

“Killua...” You murmured, shifting your body to face him.

He held you tighter, whispering some inaudible things that you could only assume were part of a nightmare. You held out a hand and moved it lightly to his face, stroking his cheek gently and softly.

“I’m here...” You muttered, trying to bring some sense into him and hopefully wake him up. You could only imagine what he could be dreaming about right now.

It seemed that you had done the trick, as he slowly calmed to your voice and soothing gesture. It was a warm feeling to know that you could be the one to do that. Although Killua seemed strong, he was still a kid; just like you. When you were sure he was calm and finally asleep again, you slowly closed your eyes and fell asleep beside him.

In the morning, your eyes opened to see that Killua was gone. He probably got up before you and carefully moved so as not to wake you. You couldn’t help but smile at that thought. But then another thought entered your mind. The summer only has five days left...Got to make ‘em count.

Groaning, you sat up and could feel that your body had gotten a little bit better. You were still sick, but that was okay. You could at least get up and move around now; that would be a journey in itself.

Pulling the covers off of you, you felt the cold suddenly capture your body. It was a sudden change from the warmth of a previous body and some covers. Shivering, you swung your legs to the side of the bed and stood up, stretching your arms up with a long yawn.

Your body felt...weird, to say the least. Everything seemed pretty unnatural since you were still sick, and everything felt different than what it would usually. The carpet you stood on, which was usually a soft feeling, felt rough and annoying. The cold tiles of the bathroom floor felt too soft; it was like everything had swapped around for one day.

Emerging from your bathroom, you bumped into a certain blond. He’s back?!

“Kurapika?” You looked up at him. You honestly didn’t expect him to be back this early, but then your eyes widened.
