What He Left Behind Chapter 2-Recovery and Discovery
Everyone forced themselves to get up and go to school, except Minato and Akihiko. They were too shocked to even think of going there. Ken was equally stunned and locked himself in his room out of guilt and grief.
Koromaru could do nothing to help them as he sat in the dorm. Eventually, he got restless and made his way to Ken's room "I have to do something…I can't just leave him here like this. Beanie-san wouldn't have liked that…" he found himself at the door. He barked to let Ken know he was there.
Slowly but surely, the door opened and he went in to find Ken huddled in a corner sobbing. His ears fell and he went over and licked his face. The pre-teen lifted his head and looked at Koromaru, "Koromaru…I…what I did back there…can I…will he…?" He sobbed into his hands again as the Shiba Inu made his way into Ken's lap.
"I'm so sorry…"

Akihiko sighed as he and Minato sat at the bar in Hagakure, the bluenette sitting to his left not saying a word. His eyes seemed to be red from crying.
"Minato…I feel just as upset and heartbroken as you do. Shinji…he really loved you. And…I'm sure he wouldn't want you to grieve forever." he said as he went to hug his friend. The younger teen nodded as he went to eat his food. "Yeah…he wouldn't."
"What…will happen with Ken? Will he come back?" he finally asked after what seemed like an eternity of silence. Akihiko sighed as he took a bite, "I don't know, but…I'm sure he feels horrible…" he said as he finished the last of his bowl. Minato sighed as he stood up to leave, Akihiko soon followed him out after he paid for the food.
The silver haired teen soon noticed that his friend looked pale. "Do you need to sit down? You look sick." Minato nodded as he and Akihiko sat down. He quickly began to tell Akihiko that he had been feeling sick and nauseous, that he had been craving weird food combinations, and that he had felt for a lack of a better term 'weird'. Akihiko raised an eyebrow and scratched the back of his head,
"I'll take you to the doctor then later today." Akihiko smiled at his friend as he helped him get up and walk. Minato looked up at the sky and rubbed his stomach…

The auditorium was silent, no one was speaking except for Ms Toriumi. The school was holding a moment of silence for Shinjiro. Junpei looked at Yukari and Fuuka as they cried quietly. He could hear someone talking behind him,
"Hey, you know who this guy was? Didn't he skip school all the time?" muttered one of the students. The other student said rather rudely, "How should I care?" Angered, Junpei stood and promptly told the two to shut up. The two students looked at him like he was crazy. "Dude, what the hell's your problem?! This dude was just a drop out!" The brown haired student nervously looked around to try and get out of the situation he was in. Junpei glared at him and tried to answer, but Ms Toriumi cut him off. He looked at her and said,
"Teach, this dude…he was my friend's lover. I can't just sit and let them talk about Shinjiro-senpai like that!" he tried to protest the issue,
After the ceremony was done, Junpei sighed and asked the two girls if they had seen Minato or Akihiko.
"No I haven't. Odd, both never miss class usually." said Yukari as she yawned, reaching into her locker to grab her bag. Fuuka shook her head as well, saying that they had been marked absent today. Junpei frowned; Minato never missed school. He was the perfect student in many of the teacher's eyes. He rubbed the back of his head and sighed,
"With what happened, I don't blame them for skipping school." he said sadly as he went to grab his bag. A moment after he did so, he felt his cell phone buzz. Reaching into his pocket, he saw that the message was from Akihiko.
/School out?/ The message was brief as Junpei typed in a reply, /Yup, just leaving. Where r u and Minato-san?/
Junpei sent the reply as he struggled to catch up to Yukari and Fuuka, who had apparently started to leave without him. Panting as he tripped a few times, he got a reply from Akihiko,
/At Paulownia mall. Minato said he's been feeling sick lately./ This caught Junpei's attention as he felt himself sweat a little bit. "He's been sick?..." As he caught up to the others and told them about the text he had gotten from Akihiko, they seemed to become worried as well. Yukari grabbed her phone and texted Akihiko as well. Fuuka stood there and asked Junpei why Minato had hidden this from them.
The Agi user could only say this, "I don't know Fuuka-san, Minato does keep a lot of stuff from us. He has secrets just like everyone else here."
Yukari sighed as she received a text from Akihiko saying, /Minato just threw up into a trash can. Taking him to doctor now. Meet me there in an hour./ Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she put away her phone,
"Minato better have a good reason for hiding this from us…Come on, let's go, you two." She grabbed her backpack and headed off to the train that would take them to the hospital. Fuuka stayed silent in worry. She really did care about Minato and hoped it wasn't her cooking that made him sick.
Junpei reassured her that couldn't be true, but it only made her worry…

"Aigis, I'm sure Minato is fine, you don't need to…" Mitsuru stopped when she saw the determined expression on her face. She sighed and said, "…You're going even if I say no, aren't you?" She got a reply from the robot as her face grew worried for her friend that she had promised to protect always.
"Yes, I am going. What if he is injured, he'll need my help, Mitsuru-senpai. I have to protect him." Aigis looked worried and scared at the same time, so Mitsuru tried to calm her down, explaining that Akihiko was with him as they walked to Student Council. The robot calmed enough and thanked Mitsuru, leaving to go down the hall.
"I have to find him, I know Akihiko is with him, but I still worry. He has been sick with the most unusual illness as of lately. Everything I have tried to alleviate the symptoms has not worked." she soon found herself at the store next to the entrance and bought some food for Minato to eat later-a whole wheat sandwich with chips.
She was about to leave the campus when she felt her own cellphone ringing. So she got it out of her pocket and answered, "Hello, this is Aigis. Who is this?"
She sighed when she heard Akihiko on the other end, but his voice sounded unusually panicked…
' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' '
Akihiko in his flustered state, tried to get words to his mouth as Minato stared at him in worry. "Is he alright?" asked Aigis on the other end.
Akihiko forced himself to answer, "Yes, he's fine, but…" He trailed off to see Minato sitting on the bathroom floor in the convenience store in Paulownia Mall, staring dumbfounded at the stick in his hand.
On the other end, Aigis grew scared and yelled, "Is he okay?! Tell me where you are and I will find you!" she yelled loud enough for Minato to hear her clearly as he still stared at the stick, "How can this happen to a guy, I…am I really?" he mumbled to himself as Aigis hung up. Akihiko came to his side and hugged him tightly to reassure him that it would be okay.
"I'm not leaving you, Minato. But for this to happen must mean…" He was cut off by sounds outside as he heard Aigis run up to the door, bursting in. She ran over to the pair when she looked at Minato's pale face. Touching him,
"Are you alright, you look pale!" she gasped. Akihiko regained himself and said, "Look at this…" he handed her the stick Minato had been holding. Looking down at it, she saw two blue lines and grew confused, asking,
"What does this mean, I am not understanding this." She looked at Minato and he said in a low voice as he hugged his stomach, "…I'm pregnant with Shinjiro's child…"
