Takes place where Kaito is still new at dealing with the Crows and injuries

Kaito nervously bit his lip as he gazed down at his arm, he didn't really know how to treat this kind of wound. He'd gotten cornered by some Crows during last night's heist and they'd managed to slash his left arm up quite good, thankfully he'd eventually managed to escape.

Normally a cut was something that he'd easily just ignore, but this one had been different. This cut went down all the way to the bone, cutting roughly so that flecks of white fatty tissue were scattered within the wound. He'd only managed to stop the bleeding before he'd passed out because the knife had thankfully missed all of his major blood vessels. Coagulant powder and super glue had been his friends last night.

Now that he was awake, albeit a little feverish, he had to properly deal with his injury. His patch job was only good for stopping the bleeding and preventing immediate death, he needed to reopen the wound and flush it out before infection set in. The main problem was that he didn't really know how to do that properly, Jii was usually the one who helped him. Jii was in America visiting his sick family member, so Kaito was alone in that aspect. The coagulant powder also hadn't been meant to be applied how he'd applied it, it was supposed to stop small injuries from bleeding to prevent him from leaving his DNA around.

Indigos narrowed, he knew the concept of stitching, so maybe he could just flush the wound with saline before stitching it back up. Taking some antibiotics afterwards should finish up the job right?

Gold narrowed in concern as Saguru observed his trickster classmate. Ever since that heist a week ago the magician had seemed a bit off. At first Kaito had just seemed lethargic, which had been waved off by said teen as just him not getting enough sleep.

In the beginning Saguru had been content with that explanation, the Kid heist had been pretty flashy and had probably taken a lot of planning. Though after a few days, Kaito hadn't shown any signs of getting better, instead he seemed to be getting worse. The magician's healthy skin tone had turned into an unhealthy paleness, the only colour in the other's face was the feverish flush of the cheeks. The most alarming sign had been when Kaito had started stumbling, indigos had gone hazy as the magician went about the day as if he were on auto-pilot occasionally pausing in confusion. That was the final straw for Saguru's patience.

"Kuroba" He breathed, cornering the other on the roof. It had been scarily easy to sneak up on the magician "What in the bloody hell is wrong with you?!" He hissed, anger quickly turning into concern when Kaito almost fell after he'd grabbed his arm.

Indigos closed as the magician sucked in a steadying breath, he just felt so weak but he didn't know why "Just a little ill" He let out after a few moments.

Gold narrowed towards where he'd grabbed the magician's wrist, the other's pulse was abnormally fast, even for a confrontation like this "If you were sick, you'd be staying at home so that you wouldn't infect others" He challenged, gaze darkening when Kaito both tried and failed to slip out of his grip. It had been a flimsy attempt at best.

A sudden chill went through the blond at a sudden thought, what if the other's illness had been caused by an injury? The symptoms had both started and worsened after the last heist, he let out a curse at his stupidity. He knew that people were after Kid for god's sake! He swallowed "Are you hurt?" Kaito hadn't been favouring any specific part of his body, but the symptoms were a cause for alarm.

Kaito blew out a breath in response, afraid that his mouth wouldn't work right if he tried to talk. His body just felt so weird, why couldn't Saguru leave him alone? He was tired.

Mouth dry, the blond was silent for a few moments "Just because you're a good magician, doesn't mean that you can't get hurt with all the crazy stunts you pull" Maybe if he appealed to the possibility of the injury being civilian related Kaito would open up. He bit his lip "Magicians are known to get hurt all the time"

Hazy indigos slowly blinked at him, it was taking a lot of effort for him to properly register the other's words, but he got the gist of it. The other was giving him an easy out "Arm" He breathed, suddenly realizing that he was trembling. Oh, he must be worse off than he'd thought. His vision blurred completely before blackening. he felt something catch him, then nothing.

Silently panicking, Saguru hastily but gently lowered Kaito to the ground, immediately rolling up the other's sleeves. The right arm was clear, but there was a crudely wrapped bandage around the left arm. He raised a brow at the mint leaves that had fallen out of the other's sleeves, the scent of mint surrounded them. Why? His answer was swiftly answered after removing the bandage, almost gagging at the horrible smell that the mint had been masking. Kaito's arm was horribly infected, both green and yellowish puss leaked out of the crudely stitched gash on the magician's arm.

He swallowed, contemplating whether or not he should reapply the soiled bandage or not. At the very least it looked relatively fresh despite the soiling, he wasn't sure if it would be better than leaving it uncovered or not. Either way, Kaito needed to go to the hospital.

The magician was shockingly light as he hoisted him up onto his back, he then slipped out his phone and began to call an ambulance. Hopefully it will have already arrived by the time he reaches the front gates.

Gold darkened as he watched the ambulance take off, the heat that the magician had radiated was etched into his mind. Swallowing, he pulled out his phone to call Baaya since he hadn't been allowed to go with the magician.

Me: This is going to have another part because it would be way too rushed in 1 part...

Kaito's stubbornness with his injury was stupid

Please don't follow Kaito's medical job, you will get sick XD

Hope you enjoyed~
