[Moonlit Dream]

Kurou winced and heaved himself into a sitting position, then tried to draw a hand through his hair. He winced as his hand caught in the usually silky hair, the strands fused together with the already drying salt from the ocean. He grimaced. That would probably take a while to sort out. Looking back up at Kagu, he winced a little. "Don't you, like, remember what happened back then? Back in the Moon cave? Well... That's where I got the wound, but what's happening now I've no idea," he told her, reaching out with a fragile hand towards her.

Kagu took his hand in her's, then sniffed and wiped her eyes, hugging him around the neck. "I thought you were dead! Everyone thinks you're dead..." she murmured, hear some people saw "Awwww! They're hugging! How cute!" Behind her.

[Moonlit Dream]

Kurou chuckled quietly, ignoring the 'aww's from some of the crowd as Kagu hugged him around the neck, and then wrapping one of his own arms around her, using the other to support him so that he didn't fall over. "So did I..." he whispered, hugging her tighter, suddenly glad that Kagu was there. "I thought that that was the end..." He let his eyes drift closed, and buried his face in one of Kagu's shoulders.

[==★ тea & caĸeѕ ★==]

Kagu sniffed again, wiping away her tears. "Well, you can tell me what happened after we get you some help...I think mom and dad can help you...maybe..." she said, slowly letting go and putting him on her back.

[Moonlit Dream]

As Kagu let go of him, Kurou slowly loosened his grasp and nodded. "I really hope they can..." he murmured. As she put him on her back, he got a weird sense of deja vu, but didn't say anything and just made sure that he had a secure grip on Kagu's body so that he couldn't fall. He sighed gently and looked around. It felt good to see the city again. His heart fluttered with joy as he recagonized just about everyone here.

Kagu slowly started marching back to the play house where her parents were, while Nanami found the canals and swam around the city. People kept spotting her and wishing on her. She started getting annoyed and would jump out of the water and make faces at them.

Kurou looked up, subconsciously tightening his grip as Kagu moved. He glared as someone gave him a funny look, but it simply looked more like a lopsided grimace. He sighed and then just focused on Kagu's movements, then his concentration was lost as he felt the pain grow stronger and his own body growing weaker as his eyes closed gently, grip on Kagu loosening as he quietly slipped into unconsciousness again.

[==★ тea & caĸeѕ ★==]

Kagu had to hold his arms to keep him up, and started to struggle as he slipped into unconscious. She ran as fast as she could to try and make it there before she dropped him.

[Moonlit Dream]

The dark fog had overcome Kurou's mind, and green-tinged blood had begun to pour from his wound again. He tried to open his eyes, tried desperately to gather some of his strength. Enough to make him lighter, but he was only getting heavier, is fragile body was suffering, only getting any lighter with the loss of precious lifeblood that he was enduring. Groaning, Kurou slipped into a deeper sleep, feeling the pain dwindling, trailing off to null. "D-dude..." he murmured quietly, almost inaudibly. "I can't be dying... Not again!" And a single, crystalline tear slid down his cheek from one of his closed eyes.

[==★ тea & caĸeѕ ★==]

Kagu heard his distressed words, and ran faster, starting to get tired. "Hang on, Kurow! Just hold on!" she cried. She entered the house quickly, calling for her mom and dad. They answered immediately, and gasped when they saw the poor boy on her back. "We'll call doctor blue beard immediately," her mother said quickly, and went to go get hun.
