Five and Vivian entered the academy, they were walking hand in hand as they started walking upstairs.

As They were walking towards his room, they noticed bloody footprints from the bathroom to Klaus's room where the door had been left wide open as they ventures closer towards Klaus's bedroom.

"Oh, boy..." They hear Klaus mutter aloud as they walked closer, Klaus groaned and sighed as he pulled his shirt back on over his head. Before they entered the room, Vivian knocks on the door way, grabbing Klaus's attention.

"You okay?" Vivian asks, stepping into Klaus's bedroom.

Klaus shrugged, "Hey, yeah, I just... had a long night." He told them looking a little sad as Vivian examined him knowing something was wrong by the way he looked.

Five chuckles lightly as Vivian walks in and sat next to Klaus where he was seated. "More that one, from the looks of it." Five says.

"Yeah." Klaus answers as he looks at five leaning down a little revealing a necklace that Vivian had never seen before.

"Don't remember the dog tags." Vivian points out, nodding to the chain around Klaus's neck as he winces against his sore limbs.

"Yeah, they belonged to a friend." He answers cryptically as he leans towards Vivian's side.

"How about the new tattoo?" Five asks, leaning on the door frame.

"You know, I don't really remember even getting it. Like I said, it was a long night." Klaus grumbled, scratching his forehead.

"You did it didn't you?" Five asked, raising his eyebrow. Vivian looked at Five strangley before catching on to what he was saying.

"What are you talking about." Klaus grumbled, as Five walked further into Klaus's room.

"You know, I can recognize the symtoms, Klaus." Five looked straight at Klaus raising both his eyebrows.

"Symptoms of what?" Klaus asked as his voice sounded tired.

"The jet lag. Full body itch. Headache that feels like someone shoved a box of cotton up into your nose and through your brain." Five listes as he heard Klaus groan as he runned his hands over his face.

Silence fell upon the room before Vivian asked, "You gonna tell us about it?"

"Your pals, when they broke into the house and they couldn't find you guys." Klaus started to explain, looking at Five and Vivian, "They took me hostage instead." Klaus finished lookib towards Vivian sadly.

"And in return, you stole their briefcase." Vivian asked, as she realised.

"Yeah." Klaus muttered, "I thought there was money in it, or I could pawn it, you know, whatever. And then I opened it." Klaus finished.

"And next thing you knew, you were... were or should I say when?" Five asked.

"What difference does it make?" Klaus snapped, instead of them both flinching, they both rolled their eyes.

"What diff-- uh--." Five stuttered as he threw his hands in the air in annoyance. "Okay, how long were you gone?" He tried a different question, hoping to get something out of him.

"Almost a year." Klaus answered.

"A year?" Vivian questioned, a little shocked.

"Do you know what this means?" Five asked, as he paced back and forth around Klaus's room.
