You'd better watch yourself." Izayo

You'd better watch yourself." Izayoi spoke up. "Hanging around the sick kids all day when you're also running around helping out everyone else will get you sick for sure."

"No need to worry!" Kurousagi puffed out her chest. "Kurousagi has never gotten sick before in her life! Not even once!" She proclaimed. "Ah, excuse me for intruding on your lunchtime." She apologized as their cat-eared waitress approached with their food. "I'll be off now. Thanks for all your hard work! Keep it up!" And with that she turned tail and jumped off, vanishing in a flash of streaming blue hair.

The other three made eye contact immediately, all sharing the same thought.

"Well," You was the one to speak up. "That was the most obvious foreshadowing I've ever heard."

"You said it." Asuka agreed. "We tried to warn her."

"I guess she'll just have to find out the hard way." Izayoi sighed.


After their lunch, the three problem children returned to their respective lines of work.

Izayoi was assisting the repairs of a collapsed building with dozens of others. However, Izayoi was exremely efficient and fast with the repairs, and had properly rebuilt an entire section all on his own. He was amused at how often he would overhear the others marveling at his abilities.

Presently he sat on a half-repaired roof and called down to the group below him. "Oy! Send me another plank!"

"Right!" One boy with ram horns replied. But before he could pass the wood up, a blur of white and yellow halted the workers in their tracks for a moment.

"Izayoi-san!" It was Leticia, in her younger form. "Please come down! Kurousagi has collapsed!" She called worriedly, her hands clasped together before her chest and her red eyes shimmering with panic.

"That idiot." He grumbled. "I'm coming."

Shoving his hands in his pockets, Izayoi dropped down from the roof, a good twenty feet, and landed unfazed beside Leticia. Without another word, she lifted her large, black wings and took off, Izayoi following rapidly on foot. "So vampire twerp, where is that dumb rabbit?" He asked.

"She was tending to the children when she suddenly just fainted." Leticia's voice was twisted with concern. "They didn't know what to do. She's never fallen ill before, and no one knows how to treat a sick Moon Rabbit."

They arrived at the hospital within one minute and Leticia landed. Asuka and You were already present outside, along with a woman with lamb ears who was apparently a nurse.

"Didn't we tell her?" Asuka sighed. "Does she ever listen?"

"I don't think she's the type." You commented.

"She's gotta make a big deal about it and worry everyone." Izayoi scoffed. However the two girls made note that his hands were clenched into fists in his pockets and he sounded impatient. "Now what's this about no one knowing what to do to treat her?" He demanded.

The nurse replied in a small voice. "Never before has it been reported that a Moon Rabbit has been sick." She explained. "There were rumors of the only known cure to be a special plant from the moon itself, but without her able to take us there, there is no way to reach the moon-"

"That's just a load of crap!" A new, annoyingly familiar voice joined in the conversation as Shiroyasha appeared from inside the hospital. "That's nothing but a made-up story from other communities in order to scare us. What she needs is rest and quiet, and she can't get it here with all these crazy munchkins running rampant." She jabbed her thumb at a group of children running around in the grass, laughing and shouting. "Take her home and put her to bed and keep her there until tomorrow and she'll be back on her feet in no time."

"Shiroyasha-san seems very well-informed." Asuka sounded impressed.

"Who better to know about the Game Judge than the Game Master?" Shiroyasha smirked. "Now then, scurry off, the lot of you!" She waved her hands at Asuka, You, and Leticia. "No reason to gather everyone here in a panic. You can see her this evening when you go home." She ordered. "You stay here." She then pointed at Izayoi. "Everyone says you're working so fast they can hardly keep up. Put your abilities to work somewhere else for a change." She then spun on her heel and followed the lamb-eared nurse inside the building.

Like Izayoi, Asuka, and You did not seem too concerned about the news about Kurousagi, as they had all been anticipating it. However, Leticia was still a trembling mess as she clasped her palms together.

"I know she's your good friend, but she's our's, too." Asuka soothed, patting her shoulder. "You don't have to be so worried. She'll be fine."

"You shouldn't treat her differently just because of the fact that she's a Moon Rabbit." You added. "Medicine we use on humans will be fine for her, too." Leticia glanced up at the both of them in turn, trying to calm herself.

Izayoi felt it was his turn. "Don't worry about that dumb rabbit." He said, planting his hand on her head and ruffling her hair. "I'll take care of her."

At last, the girl c
