((i did))

Ryan wanted to touch Hisoka to make sure he was real but when he started to move it hurt to much, "Are you really there, please be really there." He felt a tear coming to his eye, he wasn't alone, no this was real.

"shhh," Hisoka shushed and pat Ryan's cheek gently. "I'm here, everything's okay now."

Hisoka looked at his friend in worry, "Do you want me to get you to your room? I'm sure it would be better than my lap..."

((>w<))

Hisoka couldn't help but smile a bit. "But you've got to be getting achey by now, silly."

Hisoka was concerned about the sudden change in attitude but reached around and slowly lifted him up bridal style. As he went up the staring he geld him closer so his limbs wouldn't hit the walls.

Zake heard them coming up the stairs and ran out to meet them tripping over Frankie.

HE scrambled up real quick then started to look over Frankie to make sure he didn't hurt him, "I'm so sorry frankie, i didn't mean to trip over you i just, ooooohhhh Frankie," he was frantically looking to make sure he wasn't hurt.


Ryan wanted to struggle, "Why i wanna stay with you don't go away Hisoka! ow ow ow ow"

Hisoka would have flushed if he could, and stuttered an apology. "I'll stay with you don't worry." Once he got to the top of the staircase he rose a brow at Zake. "Umm, what on earth are you doing?" He noticed the boy on the ground and rolled his eyes. "Moving on already I see."

He bumped Zake's shoulder gently as he passed.

Hisoka felt rather affectionate for some reason...

"Meany, sama" He called after hisoka, while still checking on frankie.

"Really are you sure?" He looked worried that hisoka might leave him no matter what he said, the last thing he wanted right now was to be alone.

"Most definately," Hisoka replied. He bumped the dooe open with his rear and backed in. Once he set ryan down on the bed he went about making hi as comfortable as possible ((g2g my wife and I are gonna watch some movies ;D))

((gtg i'm gonna take a shower, have fun watching movies,))

Ryan just let hisoka work and waited,

Stella awoke, shaking her head her wake her completely from her dream. She was inside, except she didn't know where. It was almost like sleepwalking, her legs kept moving but her mind was elsewhere. "Funny." She thought, turning her head from side to side looking over her placement. Right outside the boy's dorms she mused, noting the still lingering form of smoke trickling out of the door cracks. Completely confused, she opened the door and peered inside. "Hey!" She called, waving her hand from the doorway. "You guys did some magic show while I was napping?"

Stella smiled, and stood leaning against the wall staring out at the window in the far corner. "Sometimes I forget this is even a school." She said, watching the sun try vainly to reach through the clouds. "I'm so behind in my classes that I'm going to need a lot of make up work. It's a good thing I have Juno for a teacher though." She said sliding down onto the floor with her head down. She looked almost like a drunk person sleeping.

Hisoka smiled at the conversation he could hear in the hallway. 'New start' he thought. 'shake out all the crud that's happened this year we'll all just start over.'

He finally tucked the sheets around Ryan and plopped on the ground beside the bed so that he and Ryan were at eye level.

Hisoka blinked. "Of course I'm really me," he gave small chuckle. "And it's fine, I can always heal from that sort of thing."

Stella abruptly cocked her head back up, remembering what she was talking about before she trailed off about school matters. "So...what exactly did happen?" She asked, now finally noticing what was left of some sort of chalk circle. I wonder if they sacrificed virgins or something... she thought jokingly, nobody here seemed like the witchcraft type.

Hisoka blinked again and shook his head with a light smile.

"You're really not alone, Ryan-san. I gave you an aleve earlier, do you want a second one?"

"Oh ok then i think it may help." He smiled, it was finally sinking in. "so what happened?" he was trying to think of things to talk about now.

Zake giggled and returned to the window, "why don't you come in stella and meet me and frankie down stairs." He turned back to frankie, "looks like no more time alone for us. heh heh." he smiled, "lets go." he looped his arm around Frankies shoulders.

Hisoka went and got another aleve and handed it to Ryan along with a cup of water. "You were posessed by someone you and Zake apparently know...Matt knew them too...I'm afraid I didn't understand any of what was going on." He rubbed his neck bashfully.

"Zell removed the spirit and put it inside of a bear cub that Calice-san found...."
