Thirty Kisses Theme 01 - Look Over Here
"Hey, look over here!" One of the children called, immediately garnering the attention of the entire playground on their first day at the ninja academy. One by one they all gathered beside the boy, following his gaze to whatever had caught his eye. A huddled figure lay in the grass beside the monkey bars, coughing as if its lungs were bursting. All of the children simply stared, watching in fascination as the boy, a member of their genin class, began to be wracked with shuddering coughing fits.
Yuugao began shouldering her way through the small crowd at the ninja academy playground, standing on her tiptoes to find out what was going on. The young girl was one of the top ranked children in their class, and garnered some respect among the other kids for being a leader. They finally let her through and she approached the boy on the ground, crouching beside him to check his breathing like her mother sometimes did at the hospital where she was a medi-nin.
"Hey! Someone go get Daikoku-sensei right now!" Yuugao said, turning the boy over onto his back and taking a handkerchief out of her pocket. She held it to his face and propped him up on her lap, patting him on the shoulder as a kind of consolation. She kept her head on her shoulders as three children suddenly broke from the group and went running towards the academy doors yelling for the sensei.
"I… need some water…" The boy suddenly said weakly between coughs. Yuugao glanced around until one of the onlookers offered up a half-drunk juice box. She held it to the boy's lips and watched as he took a few tentative sips, his cough easing slowly. She smiled a little as his breathing eased and their sensei approached.
"Okay, you're going to be fine." She told the boy, kissing him lightly on the forehead like her mother often did when she herself was sick. The boy smiled a little, a small twitch at the corner of his lips, as their sensei quickly picked him up and headed off to the infirmary with the boy coughing over his shoulder and still sipping cautiously from the juice box. That was the first time Uzuki Yuugao met Gekkou Hayate.
