Isas had regained consciousness a while ago and was now outside along with the rest of the students that were evacuated. He didn't remember much. When he woke up, he was just huddled out with the crowd.

Now, he was just sitting outside, with a group of annoying girls constantly asking if he was okay.

"Are you sure you're okay, Senpai?"

"Yes." Isas replied. For the millionth time, I am fine. Is me not speaking normally and sitting up right convincing you? He thought annoyed.

"ISAS!!!" Jumin's voice screamed.

Isas stood up as he saw Jumin and the girls push pass the crowd.

"JUMIN!" He shouted back.

Jumin ran to Isas and hugged him, but quickly pulled away.

"What the fuck man?! What happened to you?!"

"I..I don't remember...I just blacked out I guess..."

Jumin nodded, turning his head to the side. Isas' eyes went wide.

"Jumin! Your jaw!"

"It's fine, Isa. I'm fine."

Suddenly, one of the girls stood up, her face in anger.

"YOU!" She shouted, pointing at Suki, "I saw her running away when Isas~Kun passed out!"

Suki stepped back, her heart pumping fast.

I didn't mean to leave him there...

"I-I was going to get help, I swear!"

"LIAR! WHAT DID YOU DO TO ISAS-KUN?!"

This girl was now on her was to punch Suki in the face when Isas took Suki's had and pulled her close to his body.

"ENOUGH! Suki-San has done nothing to me, nor would she do anything else. Now stop your yelling because IT IS irritating ME!" Isas yelled.

Everyone was taken aback by his sudden burst of anger. Isas never yelled at anyone ever. He was always so passive. This was all to new to them.

Isas then felt weak and dropped to his knees, breathing heavily. Jumin and Kimi knelt beside him.

"Isas..." Kimi said.

"Jumin..." Isas gulped for air, "Jumin, H-has that man been lurking around your house lately...?"

Jumin looked at him, confused. "W-what?"

"T-take me to your house...please.."

Jumin nodded. "O-okay, man. Okay. We're going."

Jumin helped Isas to his feet and they began to walk home. Jumin looked back and gave a small wave. Kimi and Suki waved back.

Kimi looked over at Suki. "Maybe I should go to..."

"Wanna ride home together?" Suki asked.

"How bout we just walk..." Kimi said.

Suki nodded as they made there way home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, Suki was in her room unpacking. Kimi was in her living room, snacking on chips. Jumin was playing video games as Isas laid on his bed, reading.

But he couldn't. His vision had become blurry and it didn't seem to be going away. He put the book down and sat up, still unable to see.

"Hey, how come we can never play games at your house? You've got like, seven flatscreens!" Jumin exclaimed.

"My parents don't allow video games, remember? And remember the last time we tried to play video games? You threw the controller out the window. A window."

"THE GAME WAS RIGGED! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO PLAY WITH A RIGGED GAME?!" Jumin declared.

Isas rolled his eyes and chuckled.

Jumin smirked, but then went into a solemn expression.

"Hey....what happened with you today? You've been taking care of yourself, right?"

Isas shook his head. "Haven't had the time...been busy, I suppose..."

"That isn't healthy..."

"And neither is letting that stranger hurt you..." Isas blurted out.

The room was quiet for a moment. Jumin felt his bruised jaw.

"If it's not me..it's her and him, Isa..."

"It doesn't have to be any of you. You can-"

"I can't....not if...."

Jumin fell quiet. "Let's just watch some T.V...."

Isas was about to say something, but stopped. "Okay..."

Jumin switched through the channels when he came across the news and saw their school along with the caption 'DEATH AT TSUKIGATA HIGH SCHOOL.'

"Dude..look..."

Isas and Jumin stared at the screen as the reporter spoke.

"Today at this local high school, a young student was found dead in one of the classrooms. Students reported that she had been seizing moments before the incident that police still refuse to disclose...but theories arise that the cause of the student's death may be the flu that has been plaguing this town for decades..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Akiniko's heart had dropped to his stomach. Suki was stunned into shock. And then, she was flooded with anger. She stomped out of her room and into the living room where Akiniko was sitting.

"I thought you said that no one would die! Did you lie to me?!" She yelled.

"What?! No! Why would I-"

"YOU'RE LYING! This was all a trick, wasn't it? You just told me all of this so I would be on your side, huh?"

Suki turned, her fists clenched and teeth gritted.

"I should have known..." She growled as she stomped off to her room.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kimi couldn't speak. Her words couldn't leave her mouth. They were strifled by fear.

She jumped when she heard the patterned footsteps of one her younger siblings. She quickly switched the channel and left the room.

"Kimi, What's-"

"Nothing...it's Nothing...I'm just tired..."

Have to protect them..can't let them know...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suki had finally calmed down but was not in the mood to face Akiniko. Just her luck, he had to leave early for work again.

She began her way to school. Two students were in front of her, talking.

"Can't believe they're still making us go to school even after that girl died..." An annoyed student moaned.

"Hey, show some respect. That could have easily been you..." Her older friend reprimanded.

"Still, it's just wrong to send your kids to class the day after someone dies..."

"Yeah. It is pretty morbid."

Suki was distracted from the conversation when she saw Kimi peeking behind a building corner, waving her over.

"Yo! Suk!" She whispered.

Suki walked over to her.

"Wanna skip together? I really wanna show you something.."

"Are you sure about this..?" Suki asked.

"Please!" Kimi pleaded, "we can go later! Promise!"

Suki looked around, nervous that they were being watched.

"Ugh. Fine. But we have to come back."

Kimi smiled. "Yes! Now get on!"

"Oh Heck no."

"Oh come on! You can't walk to where I'm going to show you." Kimi whined.

"You almost killed me last time!"

"You're over exaggerating!"

Suki rolled her eyes.

"Just get on."

"Fiinnne.."

Suki sat on the back of the bike and wrapped her hands around Kimi's waist, causing her to blush.

"You okay?" Suki asked.

"..y-Yeah..totally okay..A-Anyway! Let's go!"

Kimi sped off, this time Suki actually stayed on the bike. Kimi had to take many back roads away from the areas where the students usually walked. Finally, they were out of the town and into the vegetation.

The farmers in the nearby plots waved to Kimi and smiled at her.

"You really do know everyone in this town.." Suki said.

"Yeah. Kinda a social butterfly here.." Kimi said with a smile.

They rode passed many farmers markets and small shops before entering a trail leading to the wooded area up in the hills, away from town.

Kimi then turned into what seemed like a clearing up ahead and stopped.

Suki's eyes lit up in amazement.

"Wow..."

A waterfall.

It's water was crystal blue, so clean and clear. The are surrounding was beautiful as well, not a hit of dark, looming, infected air. Everything was so green and lively.

Kimi removed her mask, sending Suki into shock.

"Kimi, no! The air-"

"The air's fine up here!" Kimi declared, breathing a large breath of air, "this is the only place where the air is fine!"

Suki was a bit hesitant to take off her mask.

It's like a band aid..rip off...

In one swift motion, Suki yanked off her mask.

Nothing happened. The air was fine. The air was better than fine. It was so fresh and clean.

"Wow..."

"I know, right?"

Kimi chuckled. She walked over to a bush, pulling out two jars and two butterfly nets and handed one of each to Suki.

"What are these for?"

"My sisters wanted me to go bug catching and bring some cool ones back. You're gonna help me."

"I am?"

"Hey, two heads are better than one."

Suki smirked and grabbed the items in Kimi's hands.

"You take that side, I take that side?" Kimi asked, walking over to the more tree populated area.

Suki nodded and Kimi left.

Suki searched around the bushes but only came across generic garden bugs, hardly anything of interest.

Mom and I used to go bug catching...I wonder if she-

She stopped herself and her thoughts.

Of course she won't remember..she isn't here anymore.... Mom..why did you leave me..?

Her thought was cut short when she was distracted by something.

It was a blue butterfly.

It looked so different from any other butterfly she had seen. She had to get it for Kimi's sisters.

The butterfly began to fly away. She chased after it. It was hard trying to catch the small thing as it was acting as if it was trying to avoid her.

It then began to fly into the waterfall. Through sheer determination, she powered through and follow it.

So much so, that she didn't realize that she was walking on water.
