Kiku felt a chill and then heard something behind him. The sound of stabbing and next Yume's voice, could it be...? "Y-Yume!" Trying to turn around quickly, he fell to the ground instead. "Y-Yume! Speak to me! A-Are you alright?!" Doing all these made the beating of his heart more unbearable. All sorts of things came into his mind, and all were not good. [I]'I-I need to be there for Yume...!'[/I]

Quickly, ignoring his condition, he stood up and went beside where Yume is. "Move aside!!" he shouted at the ghosts. Kiku didn't care anymore whether they were ghosts or humans, what they did to her is something he can't forgive. Carefully holding her, he noticed the bleeding on her stomach, a severe one. He panicked, not sure what to do. "A-AH...! Hang in there!" Remembering what he saw people did in these situation, he placed both of his hands on the wound, trying to stop the flow of the blood. 

Suddenly, music can be heard from outside. The tune was something familiar, usually he heard it from a certain someone.[I]"Yume!"[/I] shouted someone from the outside. Might it be him? "S-Shirako! Over here!" calling to him, he felt more glad that someone else appeared. Though, the situation with the girl before him isn't getting any better.

Shirako entered and something glew in his pocket. The spirits reacted to this as they disappeared with the dimming of the light. [I]"Kik-... Ki...ku...!"[/I] a hoarse voice spoke to him. "I'm here! You'll be alright! Shirako is here now as well!" Kiku couldn't help letting his tears flow. "Shirako...!" he called to him for help. He quickly went to her and turned his shirt into a temporary bandage. Hopefully it'll help stop the blood from flowing. Shirako then told him, they need to go to the infirmary right now which is on the second floor. Kiku nodded and let him carry her on his shoulders, [I]"C'mon, I can't have you two dying on me too!"[/I] Kiku, with the best of his abilities, supported Shirako. Both of them carried her right away carefully. "Let's go!" he said.

On the way to the infirmary, Kiku's pulse kept increasing as they brought Yume to the infirmary. [I]'T-This isn't good... I need to last until.. Yume's brought to safety...'[/I] They reached the stairs at last. A little bit more and everything would be better. Continuing, he felt more dizzy now as his condition worsened. "N-Not now..." he said in a whisper as his breathing became more ragged. He remembered reading something about the heart exploding a while after a continuous palpitation. Kiku hoped that wouldn't happen to him. As they went down the corridor, a sign saying 'infirmary' could be seen. "T-There...! That's... it right..?!" As they got close to the door, Kiku suddenly fell, but managed to prevent himself from falling completely. "G-Go...! I'll stay here for a bit... I'm just.. a bit.. tired.." he said in pauses as he carefully let Shirako carry her alone. Waiting for the both to go in, Kiku lied beside the door as he tried to calm down and relax. [I]'Hang in there Yume...'[/I] he thought as he closed his eyes.
