*Cackles*

Shinichi groaned, feeling absolutely miserable. Everything ached like nothing he'd ever felt before so he didn't even know how to describe it. The sleuth tried to get up, but immediately found that he couldn't. He was stuck, though he could move his arms. Confused, Shinichi opened his eyes, succeeding with a bit of difficulty. Azure widened, everything coming back to him "Ka-" He coughed, unable to finish his friend's name. Trying to yell for the other had been a bad idea.

There was a lot of blood, it made the sleuth feel sick just by looking at it. There was way more than even four people would be able to produce. He was laying in a scarily large dried pool of it, pinned down from the awkward placement of the debris. He should be dead, he really should be, how had he not noticed the metal bar that'd skewered his midsection?! It wasn't large, but being impaled often required medical attention.

Where was Kaito? Now that he was aware of his own situation, Shinichi was wary of moving too much. He didn't want to ruin what was obviously Kaito's own work, it had to be. He'd be dead otherwise so Kaito must have somehow healed him around the bar... The thought made Shinichi cringe, he wasn't going to enjoy having it removed. Shinichi craned his neck back as far as his body allowed in order to search behind where he laid. Kaito wasn't in front of him, so he must be somewhere behind him. The dried blood spoke of how long he'd been trapped, so if Kaito had gotten out, they'd both be in a hospital by now.

It was a miracle that even a bit of light had reached here. The room that they'd been trapped in had been so far down. It was shocking that there was even enough light to see anything at all, the sleuth was very thankful for the small mercy that'd been gifted to him. It was better than being trapped and unable to see anything at all, something that could have easily happened instead.

Eventually, Shinichi did catch sight of the magician, or at least a few fingers that were sticking out of a dark hole. They were bloodied and gripping at his pant leg, just barely grazing his skin where something had cut the fabric. The blood that had seeped from the hole was concerning, but the sleuth was relieved to have just located the other. Even if he couldn't do anything to check on him. If he was alive, then Kaito had to be as well.

Bracing himself, Shinichi rubbed his throat before attempting to speak again "Kai?" He asked, just the single syllable was difficult to get out. The sleuth waited a while for a response before sighing. The other must be unconscious, and he probably won't wake anytime soon. Now that he was aware of the touch, he could feel Kaito's magic working on him, it was probably the only thing keeping the two of them alive right now.

Fear began to slowly sink it's claws into the sleuth as he took in the situation as a whole. He would not be able to get to safety without help, and Kaito wouldn't be available to help him. His friend had already been overworked before their injuries as it was... So he was probably going to enter another magic coma of sorts to preserve his energy and life, if he hadn't already slipped into one that is.

So since he was stuck, one of the few things that he could do was to keep himself as still as possible. That way, there would be a smaller change of him damaging himself further. Which would prevent the magician from unconsciously upping the magic output. Shinichi swallowed even though his mouth was dry as he tried to calm his nerves. They would be rescued eventually, they had been microchipped and Yozora would eventually realize that something was wrong. Kaito's magic would just have to hold out until help arrived and if the other was in a magic coma, then that magic would last longer than normal as it stretched itself to the very limits it was capable of.

Time passed, enough so that their small area became enshrouded in darkness twice, it was scary. It meant that they'd been trapped here for over two days and it had reaffirmed the sleuth's suspicions about how Kaito wasn't going to wake up until a long while after they were rescued.

Shinichi shivered, frowning at the small motion. He hadn't felt cold until now despite how the blood loss should have made it harder to stay warm. The cold didn't last though, it disappeared soon after it had made its presence known. The cold came and went at odd intervals, with each time allowing more and more dread to build up in Shinichi. The sleuth had a horrible feeling that Kaito's magic was starting to prioritize the healing more strictly, which meant that the strain was really building up.

Azure stared up at the distant light from up above, would they be saved in time before Kaito's magic gave out? Or would they both die before rescue arrived? A part of him was tempted to kick Kaito's hand away, to at least better ensure the other's survival. The more rational part of his mind told him that Kaito would probably never fully recover mentally if he did that so he kept his leg still.

He was starting to feel tired again, he'd napped on and off. Shinichi allowed his eyes to close, there wasn't much to do and sleeping was better than being awake right now. He let out a few coughs, not registering the bits of blood that came up with the action since he'd been tasting blood ever since he'd first woke up. Resting would also help his own body to conserve its energy so it was a win-win in his opinion. Shinichi fell asleep, blissfully unaware of the blood that had slowly started to seep forth. It just added on to his own fatigue.
