Undertale yellow:Justice for all

Chapter two:Realization

As Clover and Kanako made their way back to the Ketsukane Estate,there was an odd tensity between them,presumably due to the unknown circumstances that were about to be laid out before them.

"So whats up?"
Clover inquired.

"Well...Its about me...I...I have'nt told mom or you,but The serum is wearing off...faster. Its like the serum is becoming less effective everytime I take it. I..have felt kind of bad all day. I was'nt going to say anything at all..but I noticed something odd. It started out like a dull pain in my body...but it keeps getting worse. I talked with mom before coming to get you,and we decided it would be best to talk to Alphys on whether to get another injection early...with your consent of course."

Clover silently walked with them,pondering their words intently before nodding and giving a goofy thumbs up,which seemed to make Kanako brighten up just a little.

Eventually,they reached home,and made their way to the kitchen,to which they were greeted by a pleasant smell of different arrays of food.
Ceroba began taking out the different dishes prepared and placed them at the dinner table,before seating themselves and waiting for them to follow,to which they did quite willingly.

After a while of small talk and watching the hatted teen scarf down their entire plate of food as if they did'ng just eat and drink at the bar a few minutes ago,Ceroba chimed in.

"So,did Kanako tell you all about whats happening,Clover?"

Clover nodded,still scarfing food down,but slightly less intense,as if letting them know that they are paying attention.

"I know its alot to ask,but I think its for the best until Alphys can find a way to permanently make Kanako's SOUL stable. You dont know how much it means to us,really."

Ceroba said,looking slightly ashamed,and guilty at the same time.

"Its nothing. It is the least I could do for all that you guys have done for me. Besides,I am happy to do it."
Clover said. It was actually quite suprising to both of them once clover spoke up. They've not really held conversation alot,and when they do,its usually one to four word sentences,if you can even call them that. They've always been known for being a sort of mute,so it was quite a new change to say the least.

After a while,the three finished dinner,and spent the remainder of the day enjoying each other's company.

"Its time..."

"Wait! There has to be a better way...this is Clover's life were talking about here."

"Your..."

"Your serious..."

"No. We..I wont let you do that Clover....I dont care what they say....I dont care if its not fair that only you get to live out of the six."

"Really,Clover? Playing house with these backstabbers? What happened to our plan? Useless..."

"Come on Clover. The guards are here,we have to get you to Snowdin. Martlet will take care of you this week."

"Hang in there,partner! We promise,you'll live a long life down here! Those royal guards will never catch you if we make a team effort to hide you."

"Clover,Are you sure...? I dont trust Ceroba too much right now..not after all that has happened.."

"Clover...we have to save them."

"Clover."

Clover woke up,sweating. This marks the uncounted time they have had the same dream. Their past in the underground playing perfectly in their minds. It was almost a nightmare with how close they've come to death in their first years of living there.

Eventually,they got up out of their bed,and went to get water,grogilly pulling theirselves toward the kitchen.

They froze in their tracks when they saw an awake Kanako sitting in one of the dinner tables,holding their head.

"Oh....hey Clover...I..Did'nt want you to see me like this...Sorry."
Kanako said weakly,facing the wall opposite of them.

Clover slowly approached them,still half asleep but concerned nonetheless.

Something was wrong. Really wrong.

"Clover...please...I...I'm okay. Just...just go back to bed okay? I'll be there soon..."

Clover approached them,getting closer.

"Heh...You always were determined,Clover...do you remember when we first met? You barely knew me...yet you risked your life to save me down in that old lab...I never did properly thank you...But...I guess its too late now."

Clover got a sickening feeling in his stomach. He almost wanted to go back to bed now,but he continued slowly approaching them,until they turned to face them.

"I'm sorry,Clover. I could'nt make it through tonight for the next serum."

Clover watched in horror as they appeared to begin to melt in the seat. Clover could'nt look away. It was almost as if they were turning to dust...but it refused.

Clover woke up,this time breathing profusely,and panicking. It quickly caught the attention of the entire household. Kanako was the first to rush into their room after hearing them panic.

"Clover!? Are you okay? Whats wrong? Clover? Please..just breathe. Its okay."
Kanako said,holding their arm reassuringly.

"Another bad dream,Clover?"
Ceroba said from the door frame,walking toward Clover's bed."

Clover nodded,still breathing heavily,and slightly shaking.

Clover eventually grounded themself,and looked up to meet their family staring back at them worried. They immediately glanced at Kanako,who looked like they might have teared up,or mabye that was just the light reflecting from the candle Ceroba was holding.

Clover put their head down before calming themselves,taking in deep breaths. They were suprised to feel a sudden hug from Kanako,to which they returned the hug.

"Im...sorry."
Clover said,voice still slightly trembling.

"Theres nothing to be sorry for,Clover. You had a bad dream,and noone can control that. Its not your fault."
Kanako replied,trying to comfort Clover.

"Its true. The whole ordeal probably got your brain running a mile an hour in all directions,its no surprise that you had a bad dream."
Ceroba said,keeping their stoic tone as always.

"...was it the same dream?"
Kanako asked,slightly nervously.

Clover nodded.
