A/N: Waaah! Gomenasai Minna-san! I totally spaced out! The long periods of no updating are unforgivable, yet please spare my life! :3 I've been sick and now is the only time I found time to update. GAH! Anyway, in this chappie I decided to make something useful of my sickness. I hope you all like it. :3

"Yoh!" Haruna ran as she waved, "I'm sorry I couldn't call. Mami and I were strolling around."
She panted coming to a stop in front of me. I patted her head gently and pushed her into my chest giving her a small hug. The atmosphere was cold yet my whole body felt warm. I felt her arms struggle out of me as she spread them and hugged me back.
"What is this for Yoh?" She asked facing me as we held each other.
"I guess, this is how it feels when I don't see you for a whole day."
I'm glad I have the courage to act like this towards her whenever no one else is around. It feels kind of good.
"It's so cold, you should go home." I said, smiling at the girl in front of me, she looked boyish as usual, but it made her cute that way.
"You should go home too Yoh! I'm so happy you came to see me today!" She released me and rushed to her front door. I waved and smiled. She blew me a kiss. I looked around and checked if any body else saw. I made an irritated face and pretended to catch her kiss and pressed it into my chest. Blood rushed up my face again. She opened the door and stepped inside.
For a few moments I stood there. I smiled up at the sky and walked my way home. The night was freezing. My feet felt like ice and my breath was visible as I exhaled.
I arrived home and felt my whole body still having that icy feeling. I walked upstairs barely shivering and fell into my bed. I shut my eyes and dove away into slumber without even noticing a single thing around me.

I woke up the next morning feeling a little better. Thank goodness it's a Sunday. My alarm clock didn't wake me. I saw the time, it was 10am. It's a little late.
My cell phone vibrated as I got up. I looked at the screen to see a text message from Haruna. She's probably sending those good morning messages again.
"Yoh! I can't see you today, I'm sorry. I woke up this morning with a cold and my parents and brother left me alone because they had plans today. I'll see you tomorrow anyway. :3 Take care! I miss you! ^_^"
Oh great. I though that I was going to get a cold. Ugh. This is going to be troublesome.

"Mom, I'm going to Haruna's."
I left the house and headed to my sick girlfriend's home. I just knew I couldn't leave her alone there, sick. She was too stupid.
The weather was still cold, but not as cold as the atmosphere from last night. I just hope Haruna hasn't done anything stupid.
I arrived at their place after a while. It was hard to walk fast with the air being so cold.
The house was clean and looked like everything's fine. I stopped after I've opened the front door wondering why it wasn't locked. This was troublesome as usual. It's never really normal in their house.
"Yoh?" I heard a hoarse voice from the stairs.
Haruna walked down weakly as she blew her nose.
"I'm sorry. I was about to see you but then I forgot my jacket so I went back in here."
"Are you crazy?" I almost yelled, "You're sick and you don't feel well, so you should stay in bed."
I walked up to her feeling her forehead. It was so hot I could probably fry something on it. She was sick. Really sick. I may have to stay here for a while.
--
I sent her up to her room guiding every step she took. Her body was so warm. (I do not want to use the word HOT.) I could see that she's feeling horrible.
"I feel the worst, Yoh," She croaked, "I think I'm getting a bubonic plague."
"Since when were you smart enough to know about that?" I helped her get on her bed.
She looked awful. Her eyes looked swollen and her face was as pale as goat's milk. She tried to smile at me but still, she felt too awful to.
"Yoh, you might get my cold!" She worried, blowing her nose.
"Seriously, I can't leave you alone here. I'm not stupid."
She leaned forward to me weakly and kissed my forehead. I was surprised she had the strength to get up. Just by looking at her state, it breaks my heart, entirely.
"I love you, Yoh." She said, leaning back to rest her head on her pillow.
It didn't take a minute for her to fall asleep. How long will I have to wait for her parents? I can't just ditch her.
I walked downstairs to look for some food she might like to eat when she wakes up. Unfortunately there was nothing already prepared. I had to make something myself. Ugh. This is troublesome. I'm not good at taking care of sick people.
The kitchen was a mess. I wonder what had happened to it. The cooking utensils were out of place and there were tissues every where. How will I clean this up myself?
There was no other way. I needed help. I took out my cell phone and dialed the necessary numbers.
I called Fumi, he said he was on his way. I called Mami-san, she said she was on her way too. I called Asaoka (unfortunately), he said he was coming after work.
I was having second thought about if I should call Asami too, but then I thought, Fumi would take her here. Or, she wasn't really interested.
Geez. If having a girlfriend was this hard, I'm glad I have friends.

A/N: OMG. I'm so sorry it's short. :3 I thought I could do it, but then I feel so bad right now. It's rushed and lacked thought. I'm so sorry. I'll be working on the next chapter as soon as possible! I missed you guys. Please bear with me. -_-"
