Chapter 4 – Nanami's Cold and Tomoe's Little Secret

Here we go guys! Hope you enjoy this one! Leave a review for me!

Tomoe POV

"Okay class, did everyone finish their homework?" I asked my class, they all looked up and nodded at me. Nanami's reply was different, she looked droopy today. 'I think something is wrong, I know I should not ask but she really doesn't look too well. I'll ask her after class.'

Normal POV

Nanami seemed to be paying less attention in class. Also looking quite red in the face, she insisted to her friends she was fine but her face looked completely different to that.

Meanwhile in the principal's office…. Mikage was speaking to two persons (guess who they are, it's about time these guys entered my fanfic).

"Thank you for applying to the school, Yanamori-san and Kurama-san"

"No problem, I am glad to be a teacher's assistant in Japanese History" said Mizuki, smiling his usual smile.

"I always wanted to finish my high school education, being a pop star has made things quite difficult. Also I wanted to be in a school environment rather than get private tutoring." Kurama uttered to the principal. For a little while they all conversed and Mikage implied Mizuki will be working with Tomoe and Kurama will be in Nanami's classes. Mizuki needed a place to stay because his home was more than a few miles away and he didn't want anyone to know he was a water snake demon. Mikage asked to be given a few days to see if he can get somewhere.

Class was over, Nanami was feeling grateful time had went by so quickly.

"Class dismissed. Nanami, may I speak with you for a moment before you leave?" Tomoe questioned Nanami, as he stood there looking over a few students homework assignments whilst other students left the classroom.

"Sure no prob, Tomoe-sensei." Nanami replied. She got up from her seat and made her way to him. As she was walking, she couldn't help but realize she was feeling weak and like she was going to fall any moment. When she got in front of him he asked "Hey you alright, you're all red in the face."

"I'm not blushing"

"I didn't say you were, but what's wrong then? You should go see the school nurse if you're not feeling…."

And just like that Nanami couldn't hear a word beyond when he said I didn't say you were, she just seemed to be falling asleep. Tomoe moved quickly and took her in his arms, whilst holding her, he thought to himself 'She must be feeling weak, and I knew you had a fever.' He lifted her into his arms, stood up and wondered what to do. The students were all in their second period classes. He went out the door and headed to the school nurse.

Tomoe POV

'I don't know why I care but if I had not asked her, she probably would not have said anything. She probably was accustomed keeping things to herself. Still I don't understand why I care so much?!' I looked at her face, as I walked a flight of stairs.

"Tomoe, what are you doing?" Mikage stood at the top of the second flight as he observed me, questioning eyes fell upon me. I just stared, dumbfounded, I had never been seen holding a girl or anything before.

"She fainted in my classroom. I think she is unwell so I'll see to it she gets home, I will be leaving early today, father." I quickly replied to him.

His eyes and expression quickly changed to understanding with a slight glint of humor as if he just realized something I didn't.

"Okay son. Go ahead, any problems please let me know."

I took Nanami to the school nurse, Mrs. Jen Yanamori, she had been the school nurse for years. When I took her in, I explained to the nurse what had happened and she checked Nanami who still didn't awake from her fainting, she said Nanami had a high temperature and was coming down with the cold. She insisted Nanami take school off for a couple days to recover.

Nanami POV

'Huh? Ohhhh, my head….i feel terrible, where am i?' I looked around at my surroundings, I'm on a bed, I see two figures speaking to each other but it's a blurry vision, after adjusting, I realize it's Tomoe and the school nurse Yanamori-san. I awaken properly and raise myself off the bed to sit upright.

"Miss Nanami, I suggest next time you aren't feeling well please tell your sensei or stay at home and relax the day." The school said to me while checking my temperature.

"Hai ma'am"

"Nanami, you fainted while I was speaking to you so I brought you here."

"Thank you Tomoe-sensei"

"Tomoe, please ensure Nanami gets home safely."

"Yes. Nanami, come on, I'll take you home."

Normal POV

Tomoe dropped Nanami home with his car and helped her to the bedroom. Nanami was half awake, half asleep. Tomoe had let loose his ears and tail for the day as he suspected Nanami would not notice. He quickly changed and decided to help her recover, he went downstairs into the kitchen and prepared some chicken soup. And took a cloth and a bowl of water to Nanami's room. Tomoe had not remembered to place a leaf to hide his disguise. Tomoe walked up the stairs and to Nanami's room with a tray of the soup and some water along with the bowl to bring down her temperature. As he opened the door, he began speaking "Nanami, I brought you a little soup to help you feel better." As he came in and rested the tray next to her on the bed.

Nanami awoke to Tomoe's voice and tried to bring her vision into focus, she looked up and saw Tomoe but instead he had ears and a tail following him, her thoughts immediately 'OMG, HE IS A DEMON! A FINE ONE AT THAT TOO, THAT'S WHY HE LOOKS SO DIFFERENT, WHO HAS VIOLET EYES?! OH NO WHAT WILL HE DO NOW THAT I KNOW?!' Tomoe immediately realized her reaction to him and saw he forgot his disguise, he looked down to her with caring eyes and said, "Nanami, I won't hurt you, I am a demon yes but I do not use my powers for evil. I also remain in guise of a human because of people's reactions at times, humans still live in fear of us."

"Thank you Tomoe, I know I'm not feeling well at the moment so I really thank you for what you are doing for me. By the way, its ok, it doesn't matter if you're human or not, you don't seem like an evil person too. I am grateful for all you are doing, you've done so much. Thanks again Tomoe." Nanami explained to him as she was getting up to see what he had brought for her. Over the few weeks Nanami and Tomoe had known each other, Tomoe was surprised at how calm Nanami was about his true self. This made things seem more comfortable for both of them as they conversed. This was a very nice moment as he sat down beside her and explained what had happened at school and she was advised to stay at home to recover. Nanami ate her soup and handed Tomoe back the bowl. They smiled at each other and Nanami felt her heart skip a beat as she looked at him and felt like they were the only two in the world. No guy had ever made her feel so special.

"Nanami, I know I was a bit annoyed at the situation at first, but I really don't mind helping you out. I know your situation and its fine. I am here for you." Tomoe shocked by his own words after listening what he had just told her, a student in his class. 'What the hell is wrong with me?! I am being thrown off by my own words' he just looked away then left the room to finish cleaning downstairs.

Nanami sat there and wondered if she had heard right, after a yummy soup and her medication she laid in bed and dozed off. It wasn't too late so after cleaning he decided to go watch television and relax for the rest of the evening. Tomoe watch Law Abiding Citizen and then Panic Room. He still couldn't get the thoughts of why he had used such words on Nanami. He washed up and went to bed, hoping he would understand why he does things like these for Nanami.
