Thankfully the ritual was a quick one when the previous preparation it required was taken out of the equation. Even so, Saguru couldn't stop himself from running over once the glowing had stopped "Kaito?" Saguru inquired softly, feeling very concerned as he knelt down next to the other. The magician was conscious despite how Kaito's eyes were squeezed shut.

Hearing Saguru's voice was a bit jarring. Just how long had it been since the last time they'd spoken? He felt awful, he was also confused. Kaito forced himself to open his eyes to see that yes, Saguru was here, the blond was actually leaning over him "Missed you" Kaito tried to get up, but he didn't seem to have the energy to do it. Why did he feel so wrung out? And why was he near Saguru? He'd been with Shinichi on that mission.

Gold softened as a warm smile bloomed on Saguru's face "I missed you too" Kaito was finally awake, or at least he was for now "You should sleep, you look tired" Kaito was visibly failing to fight off sleep. He could wait a little longer, Kaito would wake up again today.

Kaito just let out a small hum, too tired to try to think up a proper verbal response. It was too hard for him to fight off the sleepiness.

"Well that went well" Akako stated, smiling as she examined the glowing jar in her hands. It's glow was a soft white, matching the colour that the magic circles had glowed. She glanced over at Saguru who'd already picked the sleeping Kaito back up "The process was straining, so he'll be tired and sore for the next few days. All you need to do is stop him from actively using his magic and he'll recover quickly"

"I would have appreciated it if I was given a warning beforehand" Saguru sighed, too happy that Kaito was properly back with him to actually get angry at her.

"He would have been worse off if I did the rituals separately, this way he'll bounce back quicker" Akako easily replied. Holding Kaito's magical essence felt nice, it was soft and warm. Comforting.

Gold narrowed a bit but Saguru didn't argue, Kaito had awakened faster than initially expected because of her "Thank you for your assistance"

"I'm going to go home now that it's over" Shinichi stated, glad that the ritual had worked.

Saguru nodded to the sleuth "I appreciate your help as well, have a great day" He then hurried into the house and up the stairs. Kaito was moving a bit in his sleep, a stark contrast to where he'd been completely still besides the rising and falling of his chest. After laying Kaito back down in bed, Saguru was tempted to stay. He didn't though, instead heading downstairs in favour of checking on Yozora. Aoko had brought the girl inside. The blond found the two of them in the living room, Aoko was showing Yozora something on her phone. It was probably another funny picture of Kaito.

"Is Kaito alright?" Yozora asked the moment she spotted Saguru. The screaming had sounded very painful.

"He fell back asleep but he'll wake up again later today" Saguru replied with a smile.

Aoko smiled "I'm glad, seeing Kaito so still is weird" She would never be able to get used to such a sight, she didn't want to either "Though it was a good opportunity to come and meet Yozora-chan" The girl was adorable and her past was very upsetting. She was glad that showing Yozora funny pictures of Kaito had helped to get the girl somewhat comfortable around her.

"Can you teach me how to make a chocolate cake?" Yozora's cheeks were tinted as she asked Saguru the question. Kaito liked chocolate, so she wanted to make him a cake. She was also a bit curious as to what fresh chocolate cake tasted like.

Saguru blinked before nodding "That sounds like a good idea" It would be a great way to pass the time until Kaito was awake again. That way he wouldn't be all antsy as he waited.

"Akako and I need to leave soon in order to catch our movie" Aoko knew that Akako would want to return home first before heading out again.

"I hope you enjoy your date" Saguru offered, the two deserved to have a nice night out together after helping so much.

"Thanks!" Aoko offered Yozora a small wave "By Yozora-chan, I hope to see you again soon" Aoko then hurried off to locate her partner.

Yozora raised her hand in an awkward goodbye "Um..." She turned towards Saguru "Are we going to make the cake now or later?" She didn't know much about baking, so she didn't know how much time they'd need.

"Now should be good, that way we can put icing on it in time when it cools down" Kaito would still eat the cake without icing, but Saguru knew that Kaito would enjoy the cake more if they added on the icing.

The girl perked up "Okay, I'll go change into less nice clothes" She really liked her current outfit. Her black skirt and red shirt really looked nice together, they also felt super soft.

"Right" While Yozora went and got changed, Saguru went into the kitchen. He might as well take out all the dishes that they'll need. Kaito was usually the one to do the baking, so it'd been a while since he'd made a cake from scratch. Thankfully Kaito's recipe book would help him. The magician had already memorized it's contents so the physical copy was more for Saguru's own benefit.

The blond looked through the book for a bit, there were many different types of chocolate cake that Kaito had noted down. He skipped over the more complicated looking ones and chose the simplest recipe for chocolate cake. Yozora was a beginner so doing an easy cake would be best. Kaito would love the cake either way, but a successful one would be more fun to make. Kaito could teach her how to make the more fancy ones himself. Saguru double checked the ingredient list to make sure that they had everything that they would need, thankfully there wasn't anything missing.

Me: So Kaito will finally be active again~
