YUSUKE POV

I woke up hacking and extremely cold. My mom walked into my room and put her hand on my forehead. "Your way too hot." She said stepping back. "I don't think you should go to school."

"I wasn't going to go anyway." I replied, rolling over. "Not when I feel this crappy, not ever."

"ok we'll just give it a few days." She offered giving me medicine to take. "I'm sure that by the end of the week you'll feel a ton better." I took the medicine and went back to sleep.

Well obviously she was wrong! It's been almost 10 days and I'm still completely sick. I stayed home for days with Keiko, Botan, and Yukina visiting me every day. Botan tried to heal me a couple of times, but she wasn't sure how to heal a cold.

I am getting so stir crazy in the house, I can't take it anymore! Thankfully my mom finally fell asleep after constantly ordering me to bed for hours. I made sure she was completely out cold before I walked out the door, quietly shutting it behind me. I looked up to see the dark clouds above me, threatening a storm. I am snapped out of my thoughts by the giggle of girls coming closer. I walk over to the tree in our front yard and glance through the leaves. Sure enough there's Keiko and Yukina on their way home from Genkai's.

Damn! I think leaning against the tree trunk, my back to them. If I sneak past them, they will probably ring my doorbell, which could wake my mom and then she'll realize that I'm gone and-.

"Hey Yusuke!" I snap back to reality to see Keiko standing on the sidewalk facing me, smiling and waving. "How are you feeling? Still feverish?"

I don't know what to say to her. If I say something stupid then she will probably realize I'm still sick and march me back inside! "Uh.. Hi Keiko!" I start shakily. "I'm feeling a lot better now thanks for asking!"

"Great! We were just heading over to your house to check on you and then we were planning on going to Kazuma's to hang out with him." Yukina explains blushing at the mention of Kuwabara.

"Well I'm just heading into town for some of Mom's, alcohol." I reply lying like a rug.

"Ok Then." Keiko says nodding. Then her face lit up with an idea. "Yusuke, now that your better, would you like to come over for dinner tonight?"

"I don't think so, Keiko." I say trying to refuse. but she won't allow it.

"I insist!" She announces before running away with Yukina before I can say no again.

Damn it! I think. oh well. I better get out of here before Mom wakes up and sees that I'm gone.
