"What happened to you?" Suna got up abruptly.

"Suna, do something" Yuji gave him Kousuke.

"Let's bring them to my room, you'll explain this later" said Suna and carried Kousuke to his room.

He put him on the bed and sat on the chair at his bedside. Yuji followed him with Akiya. Kawakami laid down on other bed without Yuji's help, but his eyes were blurry and he was in pain for sure.

"So, what happened to them?" asked Suna again.

"Hideki attacked Kousuke with a sacred dagger" announced Yuji.

Masashi, Dai and Sakamo entered the room, coming back from the hospital.

"He did fucking what?!" Suna was shocked. "A fucking sacred dagger?! Is this man fucking crazy?!"

"If he attacked Kousuke, why Akiya has a wound on his hand?" asked Ikari.

"I pulled this dagger out of him, because he couldn't do it himself" replied Akiya weakly. "I didn't know, what's going on. I didn't know that this dagger was sacred."

"How unhinged you have to be to be walking around with a fucking sacred dagger as a vampire?" Sakamo couldn't understand it.

"Hideki wasn't normal" said Dai.

">>Was<<?" repeated Masashi. "So what, is he dead?"

"Vampires are dead anyway" said Suna.

"Okay, so doesn't he exist anymore?" Masashi glared at Suna.

"Yeah, Hirano killed him" replied Yuji. "They killed each other."

"Relax" said Dai. "Hirano is alive. His condition is bad, but stable. Hideki didn't stab him as deep as we thought."

"Oh, right, you brought him to the hospital so you know it" Sakamo nodded.

"Kill me" said Kousuke queitly. "Please, kill me..."

"Forget about it" said Sakamo.

"We won't kill you even if you force us to do it" announced Ikari.

"But I want to die" whispered Kousuke.

"You're dead already" replied Suna. "Vam..."

"We know it, Suna" his friends interrupted him.

"Okay, we should let them rest" announced Suna. "Although... Maybe someone should stay here, because Kousuke can do something stupid."

"I'll stay!" exclaimed Yuji.

"Me too" said Ikari and laid down on the third bed. "I don't have anything to do anyway."

"I'll stay too" said Masashi, who didn't leave Akiya even for a moment.

The rest of vampires left the room. Only Dai hesitated for a moment.

"You know, I could sit with you, but I doubt that Suna didn't make a mess behind MY bar" he said in an apologetic tone and left the room.

"He's crazy about this bar" said Masashi.

"He's been always like this. Since I remember" explained Akiya.

His wounds fucking hurt, but he tried not to think about it and for now he successed.

"You know what? We have a little problem" said Yuji, who just sat on Kousuke's bed. "I see something like this for the first time, but..."

"But?" Masashi looked at him.

"But he's bleeding" announced Yuji. "And he has a fever."

"How?" Ikari stopped staring at the ceiling and sat up on the bed.

"Kousuke has a... fever?" Masashi was shocked. "Is this even possible?"

"As you can see" said Ikari, walking to Yuji and Kousuke. "Is it only me or the whole bed is wet?"

"It's not just you, it's true" replied Yuji. "Go to Suna, some strange things are happening here."

Ikari left the room.

"I don't understand this situation" said Yuji.

"Me too" Masashi nodded.

Ikari and Suna burst into the room.

"What's going on?" asked Suna.

Yuji got up from Kousuke's bed and stood beside it. Nakamura walked to the injured vampire. He put a hand on his forehead and looked at the window with a little strange expression.

"What's going on?" asked Ikari, when Suna seemed to be frozen for few minutes.

"Is the sun up yet?" Nakamura looked at the others questioningly.

"I don't know" Masashi glanced at his watch. "I don't think so."

"We need bandages. Lots of bandages" announced Suna. "Someone has to go get them."

"I'll go" Yuji volunteered.

"Go, go. But to the conquerors, I doubt any phajenta* or whatever it's called is open" said Suna.

"Sure" Yuji nodded and ran to the Shelter.
