Maybe it was luck, or maybe it was that no youkai wanted to mess with even an unconscious Shrine Maiden, but I didn't see anyone for the whole walk from the cave back to the crossroads that led to the village, the mountain, and the Shrine. I thought I heard movement behind me at one point, but the only thing I saw when I turned was what seemed to be a fading mark in the air, like something had been there and vanished. I saw a small, red string tied up in a bow on the ground, but I assumed it had just been from someone that had been at Zanmu's party. Once I reached the steps to the Shrine, I found that Reimu's shivering was getting worse. I needed to get her inside, fast. I almost ran up those steps, hoping that I wouldn't get dizzy and drop her, or worse, tip backwards. Happily, my luck seemed to hold, because I made it to the top, and while I was out of breath, I hadn't dropped her.

The courtyard was empty. It seemed that all of the partygoers had made their way out through the day, and Reimu had clearly swept the place clean. I carried Reimu back to the room that I had met her in. She felt cold. I pulled the sliding door open with my foot, then stepped inside. Fortunately, the hangover seemed to have made Reimu just lazy enough to not roll up the futon, so her sheets were still lying there, unmade and messy. I laid her down, then tucked the sheets up to her chin. As I did so, her eyelids fluttered open, weakly. "You're here..." She whispered. I told her that I'd brought her back to the Shrine, but she was very sick. I tried to ask her why she had ended up at Yamame's. Why she'd been so intense. "Needed...to find...you. Had a bad feeling…" she murmured, her eyes closing once more. I asked her why, hoping she hadn't passed out yet. "Have to...keep you safe. Made a promise..." She whispered, looking so weak that I thought she might die if a stiff breeze hit her.

Then she lapsed into unconsciousness, and I found myself with even more questions than I'd had before.

I'm taking meds because I have a cold

Would you sleep with a sick Hakurei?
