Chapter 7

" No I'm fine Hino-san." Len said standing up. What is it with her? I'm perfectly.. From Len's vision the room started spinning he grabbed the chair nearest to him. Kahoko saw that Len was holding the chair and went over to him.

" See you are sick." She said taking his arm that was holding the chair and putting it over her shoulder." Now where is your room?"

Wait it might be better if he just rests somewhere. And he might not be able to make it up the stairs. " Never mind where is a place where you can rest?"

" Across the main room." Len said. Wait. This is the first time she's been in my house. " The room you first saw when you came here."

Kahoko lifted him up, with a little of Len's help, and crossed the room into a small sitting area(A/N: The episode where everyone goes to Len's house and Kahoko and Hihara were looking at the photo..That room) She sat him down on one of the couches. He laid his head back, Kahoko could tell that this fever was really bad.

" I'll go a wet cloth. I'll be back in a moment okay?" Kahoko asked seeing that he had finally calmed down a bit. She walked to the bathroom and got a clean cloth and wet it down with water before returning. She saw Len was asleep and sat down on couch beside him. She put the cold cloth on his head. Kahoko looked around the room and noticed that his family didnt like to populate their house with family pictures. There were very few in this room.

She guessed that his family hardly ever spent time together. With him going to school and them on tours it must be hard for them to have family time. Other then that the room had several cases of music and a few windows.

" You know Len really likes you." A voice said from behind her. She turned around to see a man about 30 with a light brown hair standing in the door way.

" What?" She asked him. The man sighed.

" You really are as dense as he says you are. Pardon my manners but I am Will. No need for formal titles." Will smiled.

" Now what did you mean by he really likes you?" Kahoko asked Will who walked over to Len's other side.

" I merly ment that he is in love with you. The way he talks about you. And-" Will stopped for a minute." So has he given you his gift?"

" What gift?" She asked. What in the world is he talking about? Does he mean the Secret Santa gift? " Do you mean he got me for the Secret Santa thing?" Will smiled and looked down at Len. Who was peacefully sleeping.

" Yes. He spent more time then usual looking for a gift. Usually he just gets something and hopes they like it." Will looked at her." This time he has worried that you wont like his gift. I mean its beautiful, the gift that is." He looked at his watch." Time for me to go. I'll see you around Hino-san." Kahoko watched as Will walked out of room.

Well that was strange. She looked at Len. Is what Will said true? Could Len really love me? She heard Len groan and open his eyes.

" I told you that you were sick." Kahoko smiled at him. Strangely Len smiled back.

" Yeah you were right." Len looked at her. Then Kahoko did something that surprised the both of them. She hugged him.

" Thank you." She said. If she could have seen Len's face it would have shocked her more then anything. His face was as red as her hair but yet it wasnt because of the fever. And what he was about to say would make her day.

" Your welcome Kaho." Len said pulling away from her.

Len. I'm sure of it know. What Will said was true. You do love me. But just to be sure. " Len who did you get for Secret Santa?"

" I got you. And you know what it has been a very long week. I never would have thought finding a present would be so hard." Len looked at her. Kahoko was willing to hear what he had to say. Come on Len you can do this just tell her how you really feel. Just say it! The worst she could do is say she doesnt feel the same way as you do.

" Listen, when you were asleep this guy named Will came in and said somethings." Kahoko looked at Len's face just to make sure it was alright to go on." And he said that you were in, well." Len didnt wait for her to finish her sentence.

" Come here I want to show you something." He said taking her hand and leading her to the tree." This is my Christmas tree. And that," He said pointing to the snow bag." Is your present." Kahoko looked at him. Is he serious? Its the only present under there. She bent down and picked up the present carefully. Unwrapping the tissue paper, Kahoko was soon looking at a glass angel.

" It a angel." She said looking at girl. Tracing the angels wings with her fingers.

" Its you. When you play the violin." He said bending down and sitting next to her. Kahoko looked at him, while putting the angel back in the bag. Come on think of something to say! They both thought.

" Kahoko I want to tell you something. I -" Len didnt get to finish his sentence. He slowly lost grip on the world as he fell to the floor.

" LEN!" She yelled." Len whats the matter? Please say something Len. Please Len." Kahoko at this point was past worried, she was in panic. Len's breath was shallow and she could tell that his fever had gotten worse. There has to be someone here to help him.

She got up and ran to the kitchen. " Is anyone here?" She yelled.

" What is it Hino?" Will said coming around a cornor. Seeing Kahoko's face he knew something was wrong.

" Its Len you have to help him." She said grabbing his arm and running back to Len. Telling Will the story on the way.

" I see. He over worked himself." He said when they got back to him. Checking his breathing rate, Will's face dropped.

" Hino! Call the Hospital now!" Will shouted as he picked Len up in his arms." NOW HINO!" Kahoko ran upstairs to the phone.

" Its going to be alright Len. You really shouldnt over work your body and worry your father and that girl like this." Will said as Kahoko came down the stairs. Her face stained with tears.

" They are coming but it might take a while because of the snow." She looked at Len." Is he going to be okay?"

" I dont know Hino but go get the driver of the car. If we dont get Len to a hospital quick, he might not make it." Kahoko got the drift and ran towards the back of the house, knowing that some how that was where she would find the car and driver. Please Len you have to make it. You have to.
