Shirako pushed down his headphones down to his shoulders and answered Yume. 
[i]"He...passed out just outside the Infirmary. I don't know whether it was from exhaustion or something else, but...it's best to let the both of you rest for now."[/i]

Yume gave a quiet discouraged moan as concern filled the very ends of her mind for Kiku. How did he get so tired all of a sudden? .... In any cases, she was glad that he was safe and still breathing.

[i]"Oh yeah. Have you guys seen Tohaku anywhere? We got separated trying to distract some big ugly guy..."[/i] Shirako asked. Turning her attention to Shirako, she answered slowly and sorely.
[i]"N-no... we hadn't stumbled on anyone but you so far.... But it's okay. We'll look for the others onc-"[/i]

Yume halted and suddenly heard heavy breathing beside her, She quickly turned her head to her left side to where Kiku was and saw him sweating and turning red as well. His expression seemed so tired and looked like he wanted to cry. What's happening? Is he heaving a bad dream? 
[i]"Kiku? Kiku!"[/i]
Along side that, he started to mumble loudly. Gibberish, screams and groans escaped from his mouth. His sweating and breathing became more intense. Yume quickly reached out to him with both of her hands. This gave a little pressure to her stomach, but gave Kiku more priority than her injuries. She shook his arm vigorously and patted his chest, doing her best to set aside the pain. 
[i]"Kiku! Kiku wake up! Wake up! Shirako! Wake him up!! What's happening to him?! KIKU!"[/i] Holding tightly onto Kiku's arm, she repeatedly called out his name loudly and refused to stop until he opens his eyes.
