"...Run Nezumi! Forget about me just go..."-Sion





Author notes: This time I'm doing this before I start...for those who have noticed how close the text is together I will do my best to separate it better. But it seems each time I put it in the word document it's fine. But once it's on the site it gets all jumbled together. Sorry bout that~Well on with the story.






Sion could barely see, he opened his eyes everything was blurry. He was trying to understand what might have just happened, he could tell he was being carried. Nezumi was running, he felt dizzy and as his eyes closed again. He heard Nezumi mutter something about don't die...it sounded so far away and Sion was even more concerned now. Would he really be alright, as long as Nezumi didn't get into trouble or anything that was all that mattered. Nezumi moved and kicked the door open to the doctor's place. He didn't have time to waste, why would he want to wait when Sion needed help now. "Where's the doctor?" He looked at the lady sitting behind the desk and he was glaring. She just pointed to the right and shivered as Nezumi shoved past people through the door.



"Keep it down!" The doctor appeared covered in blood, his hands gloved. He had just finished a surgery for someone, and now he wanted to know what the noise was about. He slipped the gloves off and threw them away, watching as they began to burn. "Set him down!" The doctor gathered another set of gloves and put them on sitting next to Nezumi and Sion. The boy coughed as Nezumi put him down, he sat on the couch holding the boy in his arms. "How long has he been like this?" The doctor was checking his temperature and a few other things, listening to Sion's breathing. The kid sounded like he was really struggling almost like he had a weight on his chest.



That he couldn't get to go away, the boy was trying his best to keep awake right now. But with his fever and the cough, it was no surprise when his eyes closed. "Sion!" Nezumi tried to get him to wake but the doctor grabbed onto Nezumi's arms. "Let him rest...he's probably been pushing himself pretty hard...this will make taking blood easier..." Most kids when they were sick and awake would flinch and get away from the needles or bite. So if he was asleep then this just made it much easier for him to get what he needed.



The man got up and brought a tray over to them, waving to one of the nurse girls that worked here. "I need you to help me...hold onto his arm and tie this around it..." he handed her something so that she would be able to put it around his arm to make the veins easier to see. "If he is awake at all...he'll just feel a little prick..."The boy shivered, as if he was awake and had heard that but as they started to take the blood from him he didn't move. His body was hurting and he was probably glad to be asleep now.



"So you can help him?" Nezumi didn't usually like asking for help, but as he moved to let the boy rest his head on the pillow in the bed they had moved him to. The child looked pale and was almost struggling to breathe, he had a line that lead from his arm to a bag that would at least give him back the nutrients he was missing. And hopefully make him feel a bit better, as they were trying to find out what was wrong with him. "We can try...now you might want to see this..." He was testing the kid's blood, and it was odd colored. "What is this....?" He hadn't seen this like this before, and yet there was something off about the boy's blood. "It's a virus that has appeared in No. 6, most of the people with it have been healed already..." He had seen a few cases here, but he could only do so much here. He might have enough medicine to make the kid better but he had to at least try.



"What! I can't take him back there...can't you do something?" Before the man even spoke, he was already working on something, digging through a cabinet, pulling out bottles. "I can help him...if it doesnt' go away in a few days we have to take him back....unless you want him to die..." Nezumi looked to Sion, he didn't want to lose him all he could do was hope he got better soon. Hopefully way before anything else went wrong, that was all he was thinking about. "He should improve soon...for now he and you will stay here..." The man covered Sion up again with a blanket and looked to Nezumi. He helped anyone even if it got him into trouble in the end.



And he wasn't about to shove Nezumi away just because Sion was a escapee from No. 6. He had known this from the second he had checked his blood against the server. No one would know, but he was at least going to have to get him better and out of here soon. With how people were looking for the ones who had gotten away, well anyone who had managed to get away. And that had to do with Sion now. "You two cannot stay here for long...if he doesn't get better....then I will get you into No. 6 myself so you can be on your way..." He knew that this was only going to get complicated and a lot harder to deal with now.



"Fine....I don't want to go back...but for Sion's health if we must I will...." He knew he had promised to make sure he got better before anything else. He would keep that promise if that was all he could do from now. He leaned back against the wall watching Sion rest. The boy seemed to be breathing better now, and sleeping a bit more peaceful. Then he had seemed before, there was like something off about all of this though and he didn't like it but who would blame him. "Nezumi...."Sion's quiet almost strained voice interrupted his thoughts.



"How ya feeling kid?" Sion moved and tried to get up, looking at Nezumi as he spoke, he felt like maybe he was missing something. There had to be a reason why he felt that way but he wouldn't let anyone know what was going on in his mind. He smiled, and rubbed his forehead. It hurt, almost like he had a major headache. But he was feeling a lot better then he had before. Though he had the feeling his recovery was far from over, if he was going to get better at all. The kid could barely sit up, or move. Was this just another time where it was going away for now and then got worse again.



He didn't want that, if it happened what would he do from there, he had to be careful before he got himself into trouble. "Don't push yourself too hard Sion...." The doctor walked into the room and held out a cup with medicine and one with water in it, he had to be careful some of the water wasnt' good. That and he didn't have many records on Sion, at least he knew what the kid's allergies were. So he didn't give him something that would hurt him or kill him.



"Oh uh thank you...sorry for being a burden..." He took the medicine and leaned back against the pillow with some help from Nezumi. He was feeling less tired, but he just wanted to rest some more later, maybe get Nezumi into the bed as well. He wondered how long they would stay, he suddenly felt dizzy again and looked up to Nezumi. "Don't go..." He could tell he was leaving to go do something, but he got up and grabbed onto Nezumi falling to the ground. "Sion you should be resting...I'll be back in a few minutes.....just don't push yourself too hard..." Sion whimpered, he didn't want Nezumi to go, he wanted him to stay here for once. But no he had to work didn't he, as he always did all the time.



"I don't want you to leave....not now..." Sion winced as he felt Nezumi pick him up and carry him back to the bed. Sion knew there was no talking him out of it, he just had to hope he came back in one piece. With all the guards patrolling now. Would he be alright, Sion could only pray that he was. " fine but you be careful and get back here as soon as you can..." Sion curled up on the pillow rubbing his forehead. He felt a hot rag touch his forehead, well it was more warm then hot. But he just looked at the doctor knowing Nezumi was gone. "He'll be alright Sion..he has you to come back to after all..." Sion nodded and tried to rest. All he could do was wait for Nezumi to get back hopefully in one piece.



He would not let anyone hurt the man he had fallen head over heels for, if he could do something about it. He would not let anyone hurt him, as much as he body was exhausted. And he would probably only be able to help so much, he had to at least try. "Did he say where he was going?" Sion had to ask, the doctor could at least have told him that, and when the man looked up, he was waiting for a response. "He just said he had to pick up some food to take back for the person you were staying with..." Sion remembered him saying that he would do that before. But he didn't think that it would have happened like that or even now.



Maybe he knew that Nezumi was scared or worried about something, the boy wouldn't let much happen from here. He just knew he had to be careful as always, he was just that type of person. "Someone is coming...."Sion looked to the door, he could hear people running past. Sion winced, and coughed his chest was really hurting. As the doctor put him back on the bed and covered his mouth up with the mask, the boy was hardly able to breathe now. The door was kicked open and there was guards standing there. "Please can you keep it down. I have patients.." The doctor ignored them and was setting to work taking care of Sion. The boy was shivering and shaking, his body might have been having a negative reaction to the medicine.



"We are looking for someone he was said to be here..." Sion's eyes widened and another cough went through his body. "well he's not here...and you are upsetting my patient..." The doctor patted Sion's back and helped him lay down again, after clearing out the kid's lungs some. "He was here where did he go?" They looked to Sion, the boy was looking at them through fever glazed eyes. They could tell he was glaring, maybe he wanted them to go away, but there was something about him. "As I said he's not here...you just missed him...check the market place..." He wasn't giving him away, if he was they would have known exactly where to find him. And of course Jay was not rude to report his friend who had helped him.



Specially not when he had his lover here, who still needed his care. If Nezumi got caught then Sion would be in danger as well because he knew Sion would try to find him. And Nezumi would probably escape and run here to take Sion and go. They had to do something, to keep Nezumi and Sion out of trouble. "If he shows up...then well I'll let ya know." He put another rag on Sion's forehead and covered him with the blanket again, the kid's vision faded to black, as he was sleeping. He was just going to rest now, and yet he wanted to find Nezumi. So that way he could at least be in the best way that he should be before he did say something wrong.



~With Nezumi~



Nezumi walked, keeping his head covered. He knew they probably wouldn't notice him but it was a precaution and he was always trying now. Since he had Sion to care about, he wouldn't get caught. Though he was still himself either way, he looked around, and out of the corner of his eye knew he was being followed. He swerved into a alley and jumped onto the roof using it to get closer to where he was supposed to. They wouldnt' think to look for him up there, or at least he could hope that they wouldn't. 'won't catch me that easily...' He smirked and jumped over there heads, knocking down some boxes on them and rolled over onto the other roof. He was getting closer to his destination and they were probably having a hardtime catching him now.



"Find him I want that kid brought to me now!" The guards knew he would be able to tell them wher Sion was, even if he didn't want to hurt that boy. They knew Nezumi was fast and would be very hard to catch. He jumped down and walked into the place he was supposed to go, he took his old clothes off and stuffed them into a bag. He was putting on the new ones, and had his girl like wig on. As much as he hated using that, at least this way they wouldn't get on him for this, cause they wouldn't know who he was. "Damn he got away let's go!" They turned and raced off to try and find him again, as he moved through the building. "I'm here for the food...and the medicine hand it over" Nezumi needed to get back fast, before they either found him, or found out about his connection to Sion.



And that was really the last thing he wanted, keeping Sion safe was the reason he was doing this. As he started to put the food in his bag, he looked around. The guards seemed to have vanished, that was probably not a good thing. But he wasn't that worried either, he would be able to get away if they found him again. "Just a little longer Sion..." He muttered as he walked out the door back to the house, or well the doctor's office. Since he was dressed more like a girl, no one would know who he really was.



He swerved to avoid people, and looked at the doctor's office, the guards were there again. "Oh great..." He just squeezed into the back door, to see Sion sitting up in the bed wrapped in a blanket. "Nezu..." He smiled and waved to him, motioning for him to sit on the bed. "What's going on?" Nezumi was really glad he had changed the way he looked now. "The guards are looking for you...The doctor showed them where he thought you went....and yea..." Sion knew they should be leaving soon, he was curled up next to Nezumi. The boy was not sure he liked this at all, he knew there was secret ways out of this place. He started to pack up Sion's stuff, and the medicine when the doctor walked back in shutting the door.



"Leaving already?" He didn't think it was a good idea, but he couldn't keep them here either, most of his other patients had gone home. "I'll go with you...at least part of the way...most of my patients will be transferred to Dogkeeper's place anyway...not that they need me..." He knew there was other doctors here, so he was going with them it was as long way through the tunnels and they needed a guide.



"Fine we better go..."He handed one of the bags to Sion, and the other to the doctor they had the medicine and at the least they could get out of here now. "Can you walk Sion?" The boy nodded and climbed off of the bed, he was not tired anymore from his nap but how long would that last. They had to get out of here soon before something happened. He walked and followed them to the backdoor, it would lead them out to the secret exit that would possibly take them out of the city. And the doctor said the guards didn't know about it.



"Let's go!" Nezumi dragged Sion and the doctor through, closing it just as the guards got into the house. He was trying to make sure no one got hurt. This was going to be a long way home, as they ran through the tunnels till they were a safe distance away. Sion was coughing and leaning against the wall, his body was way too tired for this. "Sit down Sion....we lost them for now..." Sion nodded and sat down, leaning against the wall. He was not sure what to do now, there had to be something he was able to do. Not that they knew who he was, but he could feel that something was off again.



He heard it the footsteps, he saw the guards before the others did. "Nezumi!" He shoved him behind something, and winced when he fell to the ground. "Doctor take him out the other way!" Sion stood up and ran off the guards were chasing him down, he had left his bag with Nezumi and the doctor. "what Sion!" The doctor covered his mouth and pulled Nezumi back. "Just forget about me Nezu run!" He screamed over the others and turned a corner, the guards were already on his tail, but as he jumped over the water almost falling in the deep water on the other side he looked at them. "You won't get us...get over it.." and with that he was gone, vanishing into the shadows. They were still trying to find him once they got over the water.



~With Nezumi and the Doctor~



"Damn why did you let him do that? Did you know?" Nezumi couldn't believe that happened, he was now not sure what had happened to Sion, and they had his medicine. Or did they , he hadn't looked yet, and when he did he noticed some of it was missing. Did that mean Sion had taken it with him, and would be waiting for them. He got his response when he turned to the corner and Sion was leaning against the wall. "Lost em...they went the other direction..." He was soaked to the bone, and Nezumi wrapped him in a cloak. "Warn me next time you do that..." Nezumi knew Sion was alright, and they would be able to get his clothes dry if he kept walking.



"Let's go home..." And they started to walk again, it was a still a long walk....for all of them, not like they could take the train home now. "I really don't think you three are going anywhere..." A guard was standing there with a gun pointed at them, Nezumi held onto Sion putting him behind him as he turned to look at him. "And what makes you think you can stop us..." Nezumi was inching them back looking at the guard. He looked to the doctor though he didn't know how this would work. "I'm transporting them both...the child is sick...and the other one won't leave his side...Let me take them back...to where they are supposed to be..." Jay knew he would probably be hated for this just by the look on Nezumi's face, and then the matching one on Sion's.



But it was better this way, he looked back as he was given the key and something to hold Nezumi and Sion to keep them from running. The doctor was waiting moved towards them with the gun trained on the two.
