Chapter 4

Being Sick isn't All that Bad

Yesterday was horrible. The whole day I was thinking about Hibari. Even in my dreams he was there smirking. I didn't get much sleep because of it, so now I'm waiting for Linda to drive me, Enma, and Uni to school. However, I don't feel all that well today. When we picked up Enma and Uni, tried to look well so they won't worry; especially Uni. She gets dramatic if I have the slightest fever. But I can't blame her; I've been sick child since I was little. I think now I'm better than I use to be (well a little).

"Good morning Tsu-chan." said Enma and Uni in unison

"Good morning Enma. Uni." Enma and Uni smiled and begun our daily chat. Even though I couldn't really understand what they were saying, but I just nodded my head. When we got to the school, I didn't even notice that I was at shoe locker. At least I passed Hibari without eye contact, but I think he smirked at me. I don't know why I thought that, but I could feel his slick smirk. I shivered just by thinking of that smirk.

"Tsu-chan!" shouted Uni, I turned towards the entrance, and I saw Uni and Enma running towards me. Ah-I forgot about them. I hope they don't see through me. "Sorry Uni. Enma. I still can't get my hatred over Hibari-san in control yet."

Uni and Enma glanced at each other and Enma stated, "Hibari-sempai wasn't at the gate today Tsu-chan." Crap!

"Tsu-chan are you alright?" asked Uni

"I'm alright Uni. I probably just felt him rather than seeing him." Uni nodded in agreement, but Enma just stared at me. I know in my 14 years of living that Uni is easy to fool, but Enma is hard to fool or trick. It's like he can read my thoughts. Well he is my best friend, but why can he sense it and not Uni. On the corner of my eye, I saw Haru, Kyoko, and she-devil herself, Hana. Hana was the first to notice me; she glared at me as usual and I act nice to her because she's a girl.

"Good morning Haru. Kyoko. Hana-san."

"Good morning Tsuna!" unison Kyoko and Haru

"Why do my name end with -san?" asked Hana, but I think her voice hissed at me than just asking me like a normal person. "I'm sorry Hana." Hana stared at me, huffed at me, then turned her head away from me. "Hana-san is okay." Women.

"Yo Tsuna!" shouted Yamamoto, whom was coming from behind Kyoko and the others. As I saw his smiled, I think my fever got a little better. Yamamoto changed his shoes and when he got to me, his face changed drastically. "Tsuna is something wrong? You look different." Yamamoto placed his palm on my forehead and ponder. After a while, he nodded his head and smiled. "You have a high fever Tsuna." And just when I thought I got away with it. In the next few minutes, Uni and Haru panic asking me all sorts of questions, Yamamoto laughing, Enma picked me up, and we rushed to the infirmary. Now here I am in a bed with a thermometer in my mouth and a wet cloth on my forehead. Mixer of my fever and the chaos my friends were causing, I had a major headache.

"Well if isn't the young master." said the doctor or should I say Shamal. Shamal is a 35 year old womanizer man with brown hair and brown eyes. He's a good doctor, but he only treats woman and me, whose an exceptional because I'm with the Vongola family (or so I heard). Putting aside his womanizer addiction, Shamal is a good man if there's no women around.

"Good morning Shamal." Shamal sat in a stool beside my bed and took the thermometer from my mouth. He hummed and went to his cabinet of medicine; picked out head medicine, got a glass of water, and sat back down on his stool. "Here..." he hand me the medicine and water, "Take this and you'll feel silghtly better. However, I will call your brother Giotto to see if he still have your medication when you were younger. But for now, take it and go to sleep. When you wake you'll still feel bad but not as much."At that, Shamal left (my guest to chase skirts) and my friends were still here, minus Hana.

"Tsu-chan are you sure you'll be alright?" asked Uni, she sat in Shamal's seat and held on to my hands. Haru,of course, protest, but Kyoko calm her down saying I still don't feel well. Thank you Kyoko!

"I'll be alright. Shamal is going call Giotto-nii and besides if I ever need trouble you'll be first to call. Okay?" Uni nodded her head, but I can clearly see that she didn't want to leave.

"Maybe I can watch him for you." asked a familiar voice. He had a deep striking voice that makes you listen. I don't know anyone like that except for Reborn and...Hibari. Please not Hibari. The door opened and in comes the God of Death...Kyoya Hibari.

"Hibari-san." I saw Uni glanced at me then back at Hibari. She's not..."Please look after him." She did. Uni bowed and rose up from her seat. Before she left she motion "Good luck" and left. Actually, they all left saying good luck and get better soon. And what I was I thinking...betrayal! I laid down as soon as Yamamoto left (because he was the last one to leave) to avoid eye contact with Hibari.

"Tsunayoshi. You have to talk to me sometime. It's been 10 years since that accident." It's true that it's been 10 years and it's a long grudge. And I don't even remember the argument we had. When I was about to raise up, I heard under Hibari's breathe, "Brat."

"Am not!" I protest, while leaping up, but bad mistake. My head started to throb harder and faster. I quickly grabbed my head and sat back down on the bed.

"You shouldn't shout. You'll just make your fever go up."

"Like it's my fault."

Suddenly, I heard footsteps running in the hall. Hibari got up with tonfas in his hands (don't know where it came from...again) ready to hit someone. The infimary door shot open and there stood Reborn. He walked fast towards me lightly hit my head.

"How many times do I have to tell to stay home when you are SICK! You have a weak body to begin with and one little fever can send you to the hospital." shouted Reborn, making my headache throb more than it did with Hibari. Reborn saw this and clicked his tongue. He pulled some pills from his pocket and hand it to me. "Your brother Dino came and brought this since Giotto is in a meeting. After the meeting, Giotto will come pick you up and take you home for the day." I took the pills and drunk the last of my water; immediately, the medicine took effect and I felt my fever go down. Reborn ruffled my hair and left. He told me he wish to stay with me longer, but he had to go teach the brats.

"Aren't you friendly with the baby." Baby? Is he talking about Reborn. "Reborn is older than you Hibari-san."

"He has a pacifier." he stated

"It's a long story."

"Also..." Hibari leaned in towards my face and he was too close. He was close because I can feel his breathe on my face. "Why don't you call me Kyo-kun, then Hibari-san." Hibari smirked and I laid back down, ignoring him.

"You shouldn't ignore people when they are talking to you." I felt the covers lift off my body and Hibari breathing on my neck. I wanted to push him off me but the medicine wore me out, so I had no energy. Then my eyes started going blurry and my mind going dizzy. Crap...the medicine. My mind went blank and the next thing I notice when I woke up was that I was in my bedroom. I looked around slowly and I saw Giotto-nii sleeping by head.

"Giotto-nii?" I whispered. Giotto-nii cracked his eyes and leaped up from lying down. "Tsu-chan are feeling better?" He placed his palm on my forehead and lift me up to change clothes. I felt better than I was at school but for some reason I couldn't talk. After my clothes changed, I ate porridge and my medicine. I looked at the clock and it said 5:41. I slept again and by the time I woke up, and this time it was 7:33, Uni and the others were here and that include Yamamoto, Haru, Kyoko, and Ryohei.

"Tsu-chan, are you feeling better?" asked Uni. She rushed over to my side and held on to my hands. Haru also rushed to my other side and changed my ice pad. Yamamoto sat on at the edge of the bed, and Kyoko and Ryohei were busy talking to their brother Knuckle and getting acquainted. However, they soon visited me and so did Alaude, Dino, Reborn, Lal Mirch, Colonello, Bianchi, Verde, and Fon. 2 hours later, all the teens left and Alaude stayed with me while Giotto-nii finish up his work, since he left early to come get me. Alaude and I played games and chatted until I fell asleep. However, I could still feel Alaude's hand smoothing my hair. I hate being sick and tried hard to stay away from being sick, but when I'm around my family and friends, maybe being sick isn't all that bad.
