Hey people! sorry for the late update, havent had much time recently. but i'm pretty satisfied with this chapter. so i'll stop talking now and let you get to the chapter!

He was black, lost; he didn’t have enough power left to finish himself. He shot and I jumped in front of Hitomi to take the shot. “OLIVE!” Hitomi screamed my name as I hit the floor. Not wasting any time, I took the last of my strength before Hitomi could act; I shocked the guy with all I had. The last thing I saw before my world went black was Hitomi finishing him off and kneeling at my side. I woke up in so much pain I screamed. I was so cold that it felt like icicles were poking my sides. I tried to hold it in, but it was too much. I could only process the fact that I used to much power, and I went lost.

Hitomi’s POV

Damn, she went lost. “Ogami, I need you to do what we agreed on. Nobody’s watching, so please. If I leave the room, promise to use your flame to help.” I practically was on my knees begging Ogami to thaw my sister from her pain of being lost. Ogami looked at me, but said nothing. Instead, he looked at my sister’s screaming frame under the covers with a blank. I took that as a yes and with a heavy heart left the room.

Olive’s POV

Suddenly, the pain seceded and I didn’t know why. Usually I feel this pain for twenty four hours. Not that I’m not happy, but it’s suspicious. I finally have enough body warmth back to think. I felt something warm on my side. I grabbed the source of the heat without thinking and hugged it. It felt so nice, like I was being wrapped in a big cozy blanket. I cuddled it as I wiped my tears on the bed covers. I don’t know how long past, but I finally had the courage to open my eyes to find I was hugging not a pillow or a blanket, but a person. I looked up to find none other than Ogami Rei. I wanted to let go, but as soon as I did, the pain returned, so I latched back onto him. “I’m sorry about this.” I whisper. As I expected, I received no response. This was going to be a long 24 hours.  Only then did I notice the position we were in. I actually pulled Ogami into the bed and hugged him. I never thought I’d end up being the pervert. I was in the middle of thinking when I felt a warm feeling. I was being warmed by Ogami’s fire. “At first I thought I would burn you, but looks like you’re absorbing It.” was the first thing he said to me in hours. I laughed it off, feeling pretty good. Ogami left me in pain for a few minutes while going to the restroom, but he always seemed to rush back, of course not looking very concerned. But somehow, I knew he cared at least a little bit. We ended up talking a bit more, ok, I was doing most of the talking, but it ended up being night again. I had a good 3 or 4 hours left like this until he could leave. Last night he didn’t get any sleep. He told me he doesn’t sleep well when others are in the room. I felt kind of bad since knowing my brother he was bribed into this. But tonight was different. I said good night and went to bed. It was four in the morning when I woke up to find Ogami’s sleeping face. So he did fall asleep. That night, I felt like we became closer friends. The next morning, Ogami was gone. I’ll admit, I was terribly disappointed. His sleeping face was adorable. He must have been a sweet kid. Now all he gives is glares and has an attitude to match. Oh well. I walked down stairs, still kind of light headed and found Hitomi reading the paper. We were at our house! Wow I just noticed. I feel stupid. “Morning.” I give a toothy grin as I hug my big bro. “Are you alright?” he was about to get up when I pushed him back down. “I’m fine. Thanks to you. Thank you for sending Ogami in there. He was the reason I was able to withstand that cold from being lost.” We spoke about the usual, he gave me the talk about not using my power to much or going lost, again. I listened of course, but they were getting old considering I always listened.  “Anyway, we’re having a party tonight.” Hitomi stopped being worried as I raised my eyebrows. “Why?” shocked he said, “It’s your birthday silly.” Ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. “HAHAHA how could I forget that?” I laugh as we talk again. We had fun that day. I saw everybody and we talked about random stuff and about missions, but something seemed off about all of them. At the party, they handed me their gifts like they were saying goodbye. I didn’t pay much attention to it. It must be something they don’t want me to worry about. After the cake, I was given bear hugs from everybody, including Hitomi. He held on the longest for some reason. “Geez Hitomi, it’s not like you’re never going to hug me again.” I joke, but Hitomi didn’t laugh. “I’m so sorry Olive, but it’s the only way to keep you safe. Try to remember me when we see each other, ok?” I was about to ask him if he was drunk, but before I knew it, my world went black and I was dang sure I didn’t pass out because of my body collapsing on itself. Hitomi, what did you do this time? “Hitomi.” I try to say, but I’m not sure it even left my lips.
