Kyoyas POV

Kyoya felt the hot sun burn down on him. Today the weather was even hotter than yesterday.

Damn, he thought annoyed. He hated the feeling of sweat running down his face.

Kyoya looked up to the sky. There were no clouds, which could mask the burning sun.

The hole sky was completely blue.

Kyoya knew that the next standpost wasnt far away. They would probably arrive there today. If his travelling partner didnt slow him down. Though he had to be fair, until now, there hadnt been any problems with her keeping up with him. Kyoya never did imagine that one day he would be travelling together with a girl. He had to smirk, thinking about how his friend Benkei would react to such news. Kyoya could hear his annoyed voice clearly, just as an offended child, saying:

B-B-B-Bull! Kyoya! How could you leave me behind and choose a foreign girl over me?

Kyoyas grin got even wider, remembering Jasminas facial expression yesterday night, when he called her a parrot. It had been really funny, since she had been looking as a little hamster.

Suddenly Kyoya heard a thunp sound, just as if something had fallen down. He turned around to check if everything was alright with Jasmina, expecting her to be walking a few meter behind him.(Just like she did the day before). He saw her alright but not in the way he wanted to . . .

In fact, it was the complete opposite. Jasmina was sprawled out on the sandy ground, completely unconscious. In other words, she fainted.

E-Eh? What? Kyoya felt terrified and his heartbeat increased.

Jasmina! He yelled, as he ran to her and lifted her limb body. He shock her slighty, trying to wake her up, but to no avail. Hey! Hey wake up, he repeated worried. He placed his hand over her forehead.

Oh man...she is burning – and her lips are dried out, Kyoya thought worriedly.

Jasmina groaned and a light red streak appeared on her face. She was panting. Kyoya didnt know what to do. What was wrong with her?

He took a small cloth out of his bag and wetted the cloth with the water bottle. He wiped it over her face. Jasmina sighed in relief as the wet cloth touched her. Eh...could that be? Did she faint because she needed water? Kyoya thought surprised.

He took his water bottle and placed it gently on her dry lips. He was holding her right in his arms, while giving her to drink. At first she coughed badly, but then she drank.

Even though she drank only a little, her face color immediately turned better.

Jasmina opened her eyes, her view was still fuzzy and she groaned. She tried to speak.

Shhh...you have to rest. Kyoya wasnt sure if she did even recognize him. But her eyes closed down. Her lips werent that dry anymore and she didnt pant as before. In fact, she looked as if she was sleeping. Kyoya was relieved, when he saw that she was getting better. She probably only needed some rest. But he couldnt stay here.

So he took her travelling bag and carried it for her. Then he raised her gently off the ground and carried her, putting her over his shoulder. He left his bag with stones behind, as he continued walking.

Kyoya wondered why she didnt tell him: when she needed something to drink so desperately, then why didnt she simply ask? He couldnt understand it. And this was making him angry.

Okay, maybe he hadnt been that considerate about her.

He had been asking too much from her, since he couldnt accept her to have the same stamina as him. He was used to travel since a long time ago and it wasnt his first journey through the desert. But for her it was probably the first one.

There you go! He clenched his teeth, as the bad conscience hit him. Now he was feeling guilty! But on the same time he felt angry with her!

After walking for a while Kyoya arrived at a rocky area. There were quite a lot caves.

Rock City isnt far away from here, which means that we have arrived at the standpost, Kyoya thought. He felt completely worn out. Every muscle was hurting, since he had been carrying that silly all day long.

He went to one of the caves, because it was much cooler there than outside. Kyoya took his sleeping bag and put it on the ground. Then he slowly let Jasmina slid down on it. She hadnt woke up yet.

*What now? Should I leave to refill our water bottles? But what if she wakes up, while Im gone?

Then she is going to think, that Ive abandoned her here!*

Kyoya was pissed. He felt as if he had been given a little child to take care on. And anyway...

Why did he worry about it that much? *I wont take long.*

Yet he took off his coat and covered Jasmina with it. This way she would know that he had been here, if she woke up while he was gone.

*I dont need my coat anyway, because the sun is going to set down soon*

oOo

Kyoya returned to the cave and went to Jasmina. He took the cloth from before and wetted it again. He put it on her forehead, but this time the touch of it make her wake up.

She opened her green eyes and looked straight into his. She looked a bit confused as if she had to remember what happened first.

How do you feel? He asked her.

eh...I-Im fine. Her voice still had a rasping sound.

Do you need to drink?

She nodded shyly. Kyoya handed her the water bottle.

Thanks, she muttered and drank. Eh...ehm...did you bring me here?

Whoever else?

Oh . . . Her face turned red.

I went to the standpost right now and refilled our bottles, he told her.

By the way...how come that you didnt tell me? Kyoya was angry. He couldnt wait any longer, he wanted to know now.

Jamina looked puzzled.

When you need something to drink so desperately, then why dont you say so? Do you want to die of thirst?

… No . . . Im sorry that I didnt say sth before. I didnt want to get on your nerves. And I promised that I wont impose on you.

Kyoya was shocked. She didnt want to impose on me?

He hit Jamsina on her head with his fist.

Ouch! She touched her head confused. Hey! What was that good for?

Does not imposing on me mean you have to die of thirst? He asked her growling.

S-sorry , she said again. But then a little smile appeared on her face.

So you have been worried? She asked him, as if that thought was cheering her up.

*Was she serious? Of course he had been worried for heavens sake! How was he going to explain it to Nile, if sth had happened to her? How was he going to explain it to himself?*

Kyoya only stared at her with an angry glance.

He didnt reply.

Hey! It has been a while now. Ive been very busy lately :(

But dont worry! More is coming soon ;)
