I finally get Grand Bazaar today. I had preordered it but it was back ordered and was taking forever so I just decided to get it from EB games. The point being is that you may not see me for a couple of days...I was inspired to use this story because I have been sick, saying that I have also been home from school so that gives me time to write more. Also reviews would be nice they make me inspired to y'know...write good. I am a review whore!

Disclaimer- I do not own Rune Factory,Harvest Moon or any of the characters. I do however own my OC Atra and now my own copy of Grand Bazaar.

Chapter 8- Sick day.

I woke up this morning feeling light headed and sick to my stomache. I went straight to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. My face was green and oily. Not only that but my eyes still hadn't changed back to their normal shape and I noticed my hair has grown about 4 inches since a week ago. A week ago...a week ago is when Brodik and I...ugh I have to stop thinking of that. I need to head to the clinic, and maybe pay a visit to old man Kanno...

(Flash back- 3 days ago)

"Atra I hear your pretty good at making potions," Kanno tried speaking in a seductive voice. I had made the mistake of saying he was cute of course meaning in the old people way. Ever since then he's been flirting with me.

"...Yeah," I said trying not to show I was grossed out.

"How 'bout you make me one" He said repeatedly raising his eyebrow.

"...What kind?" I asked getting a little scared.

"None of you business!" He shouted at me.

"I have to know what I'm making in order to make it!" I defended. He gave me a weery look.

"...I need a potion that helps me sleep...?" He said or more like asked. Now I was really scared.

"I don't know..." I said backing away.

" I'll pay you!" He said walking towards me. I have been in Trampoli for about two months now and my funds were getting low.

"...Okay I'll make you the potion" I said, giving in.

"Great! I'll give you four days, it better be ready." He said before blowing a kiss at me and walking away. I went straight home and threw up.

I had gathered the ingredients I needed the day after. I was just about to finish the potion when great guilt fell over me. I knew he wasn't going to use this for sleep. So in a last minute attempt so save the poor victem I slipt some 'extra' ingrediants in the potion. Instead of falling asleep whoever drank the potion would fall ill with a 24 hour cold. I made myiway over to Kannos house. I knocked on the door.

" The door is unlocked," I went inside the house. I was only in there one minute and I think I had already gone blind. Sitting on the couch was Kanno wearing a speedo. I can't tell you anything else becuase it might destroy the very fabric of the Universe.

"Hello Atra, It's hot out today isn't it?" He asked 'seductively'. It's Fall! I slowly made my way over to Kanno trying my hardest not to look. How come you always look at the things you don't want to see? He stood up making his way over to me and plucked the potion from my hand.

"Ah, thank you! Here is you money," he handed my a bag of money touching my hand when I went to grab it. Okay, I am now officially grossed out!

"As thanks for bringing me the potion I'll go fix us up some drinks.." he said now walking away.

"Uh, no thanks I'm fine. I have things to do. Goodbye." I ran out of the house as fast as I could.

(End flashback)

I started making my way over to the clinic. Ugh, he must have snuck it in my food somehow. My legs grew heavier and my vision started to blur. Maybe I put in too much 'extra' ingrediants. I don't think I was going to make it. I slowly made my way over to Ragunas homestead, but my vision went black before I made it.

I awoke when i heard a bing boom in my kitchen. I jumped out of my bed and went to find the source of the noise.

"Crap!" A familiar voice shouted. I went through the kitchen door to find Brodik standing in my kitchen.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" I shouted at him.

"Why do the things I make always explode?" He continued, ignoring me completely.

"Brodik!" I shouted.

"Atra!" He shouted back.

"What are you doing? What was that noise?" I asked.

"Uh, what noise?" He asked trying to sound innocent.

"You know what noise! The noise defenatly came from the kitchen and we are the only two here! What was that noise?" I asked sounding annoyed.

"Um, I do not know of this noise that you speak of..." he said, still keeping up the facade. I tried getting to the counter but he kept moving in front of me. His body wasn't big enough though for me to see that something had exploded.

"What did you do to my kitchen?" I shouted.

"Uh, I do not know this kitchen of which you speak of." Getting extremely annoyed by this, I pushed him out of the way. Half of my counter had totally been destroyed. I turned around and looked at Brodik, whom in turn had started backing up. I tried keeping my anger in. I took a deep breathe.

"What are you doing here." I spoke through my teeth.

"W-Well you collapsed outside my house so i brought you here. You seemed sick so it's not like I could have left you here by yourself." He said

"We have a clinic y'know!" I now shouted in his face. He stiffed up for a moment and put on a serious face.

"What's wrong with me taking care of you? I'm not as useless as you think! I wanted to make sure you were comfortable, and since you keep getting angry because of people taking your clothes off, I thought I would take you here, and this is what I get for doing you a favor?" He shouted.

Hmm, well I guess he was doing this for my sake.

"Your'e right, I should be thanking you." I admitted.

"Yeah that's right!" He stated matter'o'factly.

"Don't get ahead of yourself." I said.

"You're stll sick, get back in bed." Brodik demanded, now serious.

"Well I'm awake now, I can't get back to sleep." I said. I guess my reply wasn't good enough for him. He picked me up into his arms and carried me back to my bedroom. He dropped me on the bed and flipped my over on my stomache.

"H-hey, what do you think your'e doing?" I asked nervously.

"Just lay still." He demanded. When I had settled down he layed down beside me, propped up on his elbow. He started drawing circles on my back slowly and gently. It was very relaxing, it tickled here and there but I could feel myself getting sleepy. My eyes were opening and closing, but I soon fell in to a deep sleep.

Dear readers,

So this was mostly a fill in chapter. I feel kinda bad for writing it because I already know what i'm doing next. I guess it was good to explore the relationship more. Hmm I think I'm making brodik too nice so I'll have to think of something...oh well I should update by tomorrow, maybe even tonight. if you like you may review but I don't really care about reviews as much as I used to, they're just nice to receive even if it's just a " Hai thar!"
