Yuma quietly whispered to himself, causing Yanagi to look at him strangely. Yuma looked at him with a blank expression.

"Uh, back to what I was saying..." said Yanagi then noticed a bee appear on Yuma's shoulder. "Stay still, there's a bug on you."

Yuma looked and saw the small bee crawling on him. He placed his finger beside it then smiled when it crawled onto his finger. Yanagi blinked rapidly, amazed. Yuma gently massaged it's back before it flew away.

"How... it... and you..." Yanagi stuttered, completely in awe.

He knew Yuma was a calm and collected person, but the sheer fact he not only got a bee to crawl onto his finger, but said bee allowed him to touch it.

"Yuma, are you a bee whisperer...?" asked Yanagi, needing an answer.

"I guess you can say that. I do bee keeping as a hobby in addition to drawing." said Yuma, going back to studying.

Yanagi simply nodded, the whole situation making sense. He's never really seen a beekeeper, so he couldn't really tell if that's how things worked. A hum filled their ears and the tall brunette took a seat beside Yanagi, smiling his usual "knock out the beauties" smile.

"Yuma~ Do you have any more of those fruity treats? My friend ate them all and I barely had any. I made sure he paid dearly for it though." he said with a frown.

"I don't have any prepared, but I could make more later tonight. That is, if you don't mind waiting." replied Yuma.

"You sure do get right to the point don't you, Minato?" Yanagi commented, wanting to ask Yuma about his desserts as well. "Since Minato already brought it up, I was wondering if you could make me a batch too. They go really well with milk."

"What's wrong with your tastebuds?" said Minato with obvious disgust.

"Don't knock it 'til you try it. It's an acquired taste." said Yanagi with a smile.

Minato simply shook his head before patting Yuma on the shoulder and walking away. It wasn't long before they were visited by...

"Did you forget something?" Yuma asked.

"I'm borrowing him for a bit~" said Minato, pulling Yuma away.

Yuma wordlessly followed Minato and found themselves by the courtyard. Minato stood by the fountain and motioned for him to do the same.

"I need a favor." Minato whispered, looking around. "Close your eyes real quick."

Yuma closed his eyes and waited for further instructions. The only sounds heard were chirping birds and the water coming out of the fountain. He suddenly felt himself falling back and landed into the fountain. Minato cackled before transforming. Chizuru couldn't believe how easy it was. Yuma was too gullible.

Yuma remained still, the cool water spreading and dampening more of his clothing. Chizuru noticed he wasn't moving and became slightly worried. Did he hit his head and pass out? Chizuru quietly walked over to him and took a look. Yuma's eyes were closed.

"Hey, you're okay, right...?" Chizuru asked, becoming more worried by the minute.

Yuma remained unresponsive. Chizuru picked him up out of the water then quickly ran for the infirmary. How would he explain it to everyone else if it turned out to be serious? This was yet another rare moment of him feeling fear in his long life. He burst into the infirmary, causing the nurse to wonder what was going on.

"He... he..." Chizuru stammered, lying Yuma down on one of the beds.

The nurse looked Yuma over then glared at Chizuru.

"Is this supposed to be a joke?" he deadpanned.

Chizuru looked at him in confusion. How could it be a joke? He wasn't opening his eyes. It was then Yuma sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"But I thought..." Chizuru said slowly then trailed off.

Yuma looked at Chizuru then at his surroundings.

"Why am I in the infirmary...? Did something happen to me, Maki?" asked Yuma worriedly.

"Why are you asking me that!? You just lied there unmoving despite me calling out to you. I thought...." Chizuru said loudly then quieted down. "I thought you were actually hurt..."

Yuma blinked then shook his head. He explained he was simply relishing in the cool feeling of the water and the nice warm sun beating down on him. This sent Chizuru into a rage. The nurse shook his head as Chizuru slammed his door shut.

"I do suggest you change clothes, Mochizuki. You might catch a cold." said the nurse with a smile.

"Understood." Yuma replied.

Senri peeked our from behind the wall then quietly snickered. He sent a long strong, breeze towards Takaomi, knocking his things out of his hands. Takaomi looked around, wondering what the hell just happened. Kasuka walked down the hall and spotted Senri using his powers to mess with Takaomi. He didn't like Senri misusing his powers, but he didn't really care for Takaomi either.

He tapped Senri on his shoulder and caused him to squeak. Kasuka lightly laughed at his spooked expression.

"Don't make such a face. It's makes you look cute." said Kasuka, ruffling his hair. "You know the rule. Don't use your powers unless absolutely necessary."

Senri frowned as he fixed his hair that Kasuka messed up. Takaomi frantically looked around, wondering if the wind would appear again. He spotted Kasuka and called out to him.

"What? I'm a busy man and I don't like dealing with troublemakers." Kasuka spat, not wanting to be bothered.

"Did you see what I saw? There's was all this wind and I couldn't get my things!" Takaomi said still spooked.

"The windows are open." Kasuka deadpanned, having opened them with his magic.

Takaomi looked at towards the windows and saw they were open, a soft breeze coming through. He looked at Kasuka who was already walking past him and down the hall. He shook his head and picked up his things. Senri appeared from behind the wall and picked up one of Takaomi's items.

"What do you want, stupid rabbit." Takaomi said, clicking his tongue.

"Hey, I'm trying to be nice here." Senri said with a pout.

"I don't want it." Takaomi spat, snatching his CD from Senri then hurrying off.

Senri watched the windows close one by one as Takaomi went further down the hall.

"Eh, did you lose something?" a voice asked from behind Senri.

"Huh? Oh, no. Just tying my shoe." lied Senri, giving Yuma a smile. "I actually ran into Shibutani not too long ago. He was creepy as always."

Yuma nodded then listened as Senri went on about his feelings about the other demi-gods.

Yuni looked around school grounds, searching for Shigure. He had asked Shinya who was just as clueless to his whereabouts as he was.

"I spy with my little eye something adorable!" a voice called out from up above. Yuni knew that voice anywhere. He kept walking, ignoring that person. "Where are you off to, little one?"

Yuni kept walking. Rintaro. One of the three original demi-gods. He didn't understand the guy's fascination with him and disliked the way he coddled him. Yuni's face lit up at the sight of Shigure walking out of the school building.

"Nii-san!" he called out happily.

Shigure turned and looked to see Yuni running towards him at top speed. It was then Rintaro suddenly appeared, trapping him in a tight hug. Shigure weakly smiled, hoping Rintaro wouldn't crush his younger brother to death.

"Let me go!" Yuni fussed as Shigure was within arms reach.

"Then you'll run away from me." Rintaro pouted.

Shigure chuckled then had Rintaro let Yuni go. Rintaro pouted heavily as Yuni clung to Shigure.

"Hey Yuni, could you do me a favor?" asked Shigure happily. Yuni nodded. He whispered it into Yuni's ear who then took off. "Rintaro, lets have a heart to heart."

"Go on." said Rintaro, becoming serious.

"You're putting Yuni off with being overly affectionate and invading his personal space. You're not a bad guy and I'd love for you two to be friends, but..." Shigure explained, having observed the two for a while. "Try toning it down some."

Rintaro sighed as he pushed his hair back. He already knew, but having it pointed out still hurt.

"I get that. I've been trying, but he's just so small and adorable. How could people resist wanting to coddle him?" Rintaro said slightly frustrated.

"You'll figure it out. You're student council president for pete's sake." said Shigure with a smile. "Which reminds me..."

Rintaro swallowed hard as Shigure grabbed him by his wrist and dragged him back inside the school.

Yuma played around with three dogs in the area outside the dorm building. One was extremely rambunctious, causing the others to isolate him.

"Guess you need a lot of attention." Yuma muttered, carrying the dog away from the others.

The dog bit him, forcing him to let go and see if a wound was left. It was then the dog started to bark and chase him around. Issei looked out his window, rubbing his eyes and saw the scene.

"That isn't right..." he muttered, quickly leaving his spot at the window to get Shigure.

Yuma wasn't sure what to do. He couldn't fathom hurting the small thing, but none of his relaxing techniques worked. The dog clamped its jaws on his fleece pants and successfully ripped a chunk of it off. Yuma sighed then sat down. The dog quieted down and tilted its head.

"I'm not sure why you're upset, but if roughhousing with me helps, then go ahead." Yuma said, placing his hands on his sides.

The dog seemed confused. It would take a step forward then step back as if it was deciding.

"Yuma...!" Issei shouted, dragging a sleepy Shigure with him. "You okay? Shigure, do your thing."

Shigure yawned then squatted down, gently touching the dog's head and causing it to fall asleep. It wasn't long after that a puff of smoke enveloped the dog, revealing Chizuru in his sleepwear out cold.

"My god..." Issei whispered. "Yuma, did he hurt you?"

Yuma shook his head, hiding the bite mark Chizuru left. Shigure had long since walked away, figuring his job was done.

"I can handle things from here. Go get some sleep, Torasawa." said Yuma, clearly struggling to pick Chizuru up.

"Are you sure...?" pressed Issei, clearly seeing his struggle.

Yuma nodded, deciding to just have him lean against him. Issei stayed back anyway, overseeing that they got inside okay. Yuma carried Chizuru to his room then opened the door using his keys. He hadn't really visited anyone's room before besides Senri's. He looked around as all sorts of books lined the shelves, a part of a desk and part of the floor. A picture frame rested comfortably on said desk, displaying a younger version of Chizuru with who he assumed were his parents.

He tucked Chizuru into bed then left. He had other things to do. Yuma took one last look before shutting the door behind him.
