I apologize to all of you, my lovely readers, if your still reading this story. I had college and high school, and was stressed to the max! I would've posted after I got done with college, but then I had hs finals! And I didn't get to take them all because I got sick, REALLY SICK, the last week of school and we didn't have school friday. I will keep trying to post more, but no promises shall be made. In order for me to graduate early, I have to take to independant hs classes. My hard work is not done. Wish me luck! Here's a Christmas present. NINE CHAPTERS FOR YOU! If my math is correct...

Ch9: Home Sick

"Kassi. Kaoru's here!" Kessi called over her shoulder.
"Hang on!" Kassi from her room.
"Come on in, Kaoru." Kessi smiled at him.
Kaoru walked in, eyeing Kessi skeptically.
"Kaoru."
"Yes?" Kaoru asked cautiously.
"I swear, if you get Kassi pregnant, I will kill you. Slowly and painfully." Kessis voice was
low and threatening.

Kaorus eyes grew wide and he nodded.

~Kessi POV~

Two weeks of bed or couch arrest. I'm lucky I get visitors. Glad too.
"Kassi! Door!" I called as the doorbell rang.
"Coming!" Kassi called towards our visitors, who were most likely Hikaru and Kaoru.
Kassi had a date with Kaoru and Hikaru was coming to keep me company. Cedric didn't visit as much as Hikaru.
"Hey, Kaoru. Hey, Hikaru." Kassi said when she opened the door.
"Hey," Hikaru's and Kaoru's voices came from the door.
Kassi poked her head into the livingroom. "I'm leaving."
"Later." I stared at the TV, not really paying attention.
I heard Kassi and Kaoru leave.

"You having fun?" Hikaru asked.
I looked at him. "No. I am so bored." I sighed. "Kas won't let me do anything. She's like a freakin' warden."
Hikaru chuckled. "She's only looking out for you."
"Yeah, well, I can look out for myself too." I said stubbornly.
Hikaru walk over and sat down on the part of the couch that was in front of my stomach.
"She just wants to keep you alive, Kessi," his voice was quiet.
"What?"
"Kassi told us," Hikaru said. "And right now, I agree with her. You need rest."

I glared at him. "She told you!?" My voice was low and filled with venom.
Hikaru nodded. "And please don't get angry at her. She's just looking out for you."
"It wasn't for her to tell though! And right now, I'm healthy and can go but she keeps me locked up! I'm so tired of being locked up in here! I want my freedom back. But noooo! Kassi just-"
Hikaru chose now to shut me up from my rant. By kissing me.
When he pulled away, the first thing he said was, "Now, please shut up."
I pouted but kept my mouth shut. He nodded.
"That's a little better." He smiled slightly.

"Well, that's not a boost to my confidence." I grumbled.
Hikaru chuckled. "I don't like listening to you complain."
I sat up and stretched. "Whatever."
Hikaru moved to the spot behind me, that I just cleared by sitting up, and wrapped his arms around my middle, making me smile.
Even though you're practically cheating on Cedric! A voice in my head screamed at me. I ignored it.
"At least you're feeling better." Hikaru smiled and pulled me onto his lap.
"Mhm. Kassi said if I'm still this good by Monday, I get to go back to school." I smiled. "Free from house arrest!"
Hikaru kissed my cheek. "Just don't get sick again." He sounded worried.
"I'll try not to." I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

Cedric pulled me closer, deepening our kiss.
My heart was pounding. It seemed to be so loud that I was surprised he didn't hear it.
My arms were wrapped around his neck and his hands were resting on my waist. I felt my
face heat up with a blush as one of Cedrics hands slid into and up my tank top, I didn't
really mind it, but it still made me blush. Cedrics hand went to my bra and unhooked it.

I awoke feeling groggy and my face felt warm, probably from a blush.
Hikaru was still holding me but he was sleeping.
I checked the nearest clock, which told me that it was midnight. I sighed.
I should probably go take a shower.
I got up as stealthily as I could, trying not to disturb Hikaru. I was able to get up without waking him.
Smiling at my success, I kissed his forehead then went to get some clothes.
On my way, I noticed that Kassi was home and there was a note left for Hikaru from Kaoru.

I got clothes then quickly took my shower.
When I got done, I went back into the livingroom and found that Hikaru was still sleeping.
I smiled, sat next to him, and leaned against him.
I fell into sleep once again.
