Hi,*sheepish grin*, I'm back! Now that school is almost over I will try to make sure I do not go on crazy hiatuses again... sorry...
Anyway, please read and enjoy
"Nishimura, I am fine!" Natsume struggled to voice. He had been in gym class when a youkai had suddenly appeared, attacking him and draining his powers. His collapse has caused such a commotion that Nishimura had run over from where he had been playing basketball to help Natsume out, if one could call it helping…
"You need to eat more beef Natsume!" Nishimura lugged him up the stairs to the nurse's office.
"I'm fine, please let me down!" Natsume shouted, then quickly became silent as Taki rounded the corner.
Taki stood stock still at the sigh of Nishimura carrying Natsume bridal style through the halls of the school. Natsume tried to hide his head, but jerked around when a shutter sound went off. Taki stood silently laughing holding her camera out in front of her.
"This one is even better then the last picture I took!" She trotted off happily to go show Tanuma her new picture.
Silence ensued as Nishimura just stood there and Natsume grumbled unceremoniously.
Finally Natsume broke the silence, "I can go to the nurse's office on my own," and swung down from his arms.
"...See ya Nishimura," Natsume stumbled off into the direction of the nurse
After school Natsume and Kitamoto had to pry Nishimura off of the spot he was still stood at, and walked him home.
"Come on Nishimura, it wasn't that bad, it just means that Taki has a picture of you now, right?"
Silence.
"...Thanks…" Natsume's voice broke out startling Nishimura from his reverie, "for helping me…"
Nishimura began to smile again and threw his arm over Natsume's back. Smiles appeared on both of his friends faces too.
When they finally got to Nishimura's house, Natsume said his goodbyes, but then handed Nishimura and envelop.
"Hmm?" Nishimura opened the envelop and dropped it to the ground as he raced after a fleeing Natsume.
"Dear Nishimura-kun,
Natsume told me that you would like a copy of the picture from earlier,so I printed one out for you."
Sincerely,
Touru Taki
