Princess sakura: I know you reviewed chapter 6, but I want to mention you here. It definitely won't end yet.
Alice was still asleep as Kyo opened his eyes late that morning, the clock showed it to be 10 O'clock. They had sure slept in, but they deserved it for that whole celebration yesterday. Alice's head also felt a little warm to his hand, and her voice came out softly. "Kyo's hand feels so…good." Her voice was barely audible, her body heating up not too badly. He silently moved off the bed, giving Alice the bed to lie on. Her eyes were unable to open at the moment, sleep being the only thing he could give her.
"I probably should call the branches myself, she needs rest. I know what she means when time becomes hard, and we both need to rest. She must be working really hard, and must not realize it." He moved down the stairs, looking over at the servant nearest to him. He was dressed in casual dress, and he was cleaning a spot on the kitchen counter. "Excuse me…Yuki."
"Yes, Master Kyo?" The servant's eyes looked concerned at his face, the eyes were a very gentle hue of mahogany.
"Alice has a fever, could you possibly take care of her while I make calls to the branches?" He didn't want to not be near Alice, but he didn't want to hold off calling the branches. The servant nodded, getting a basin full of water. He then got a cold compress, walking up the stairs, and then opening the door. The door made a small sound as he shut it, letting Kyo finally get the ability to call the branches. He started with Billy's branch, figuring he would tell the rest…after a few hours of talking.
A few hours later…
Kyo had finished his call with Billy, finally getting done with it. He looked at his work, the tutor work he was about to work on. He needed to give Alice some time before getting up; he wanted her to rest.
Meanwhile with Alice…
The servant began to change the compress for the fourth time, her head felt a little better as she opened her eyes. "Who…Yuki?"
"Yes, it is I Mistress Alice."
"When did you get back from your family gathering?"
"I got back a few days ago, Rinoa told me about your engagement to Master Kyo. He took care of the branches for you, you've had a fever for about half the day already."
"What about my work?!" She began to panic, sitting up as the servant's weak, but sturdy hands push her back down.
"It's only one day Mistress Alice, do not worry. Master Kyo would do the same thing though, so I wouldn't do that." His face smiled, making her at ease as she relaxed. The servant placed the compress back on her head, and she settled back into sleeping. The room became silent, and the worried servant placed a few more logs onto the fire. Just as he was about to sit down again, Kyo's face popped in. "Hello Master Kyo."
"How is she doing?"
"Her fever is calming down."
"I'm going to watch over her now, thank you very much Yuki." He sat down, placing a hand one of hers. Her body silently shifted a bit, opening up once again.
"Kyo…I must be such a bother."
"Not at all, my love." He silently rubbed her hand, a smile finally appearing on her face. "Besides, if I told the branches you had a fever…"
"They would think the Darva was starting to infect me."
"Exactly, so I used this as an opportunity for you to rest up."
"Well, I don't want you to leave this room." She clutched his hand tightly, but not too tight. "Please…"
"I won't Alice." With this, she relaxed her grip and let sleep come over her. The fire cackled a bit, and he remained holding her hand, slowly falling asleep as well. His body slumped a bit, his eyes shutting. The servant entered again, this time slipping Kyo beside Alice.
"You two need to rest, have sweet dreams." The servant said softly as he left, putting another log into the fire. He simply shut the door, letting them rest peacefully.
Meanwhile…
Billy sat beside his fiancé, her eyes looked on a file she was supposed to be filling out. "What do you think of the marriage of the two Neo Masters?"
"I think it's quite good, but then again…"
"What do you mean?"
"I saw that from the beginning, they loved each other. They were dating…correct?"
"Yeah, Kyo needed the courage to propose." He smiled at his fiancé with confidence; they were also going to get married.
"Well, the problem now is… what to do."
"Yeah, the choice of where to get married will be hard. No doubt their parents are already planning, and so are the masters of all the branches. They're all meeting in England, maybe we should contact that friend of yours."
"You mean Chris? He wouldn't know what would happen yet, besides…it's up to them."
"You know they'll pressure the two wonderful Neo Masters though."
"I don't care, I'll make sure they get peace and quiet." He laughed softly, causing her to laugh along with him. They began to get to work again, knowing they needed to finish their work.
Meanwhile…
"Young master, what do you think of this marriage?"
"Stewart, it's a very wonderful celebration." Chris was trying to master another word, but Stewart was stopping him every five minutes about the news of Kyo and Alice's marriage plans. "Now leave me alone."
Meanwhile…
Frey was feeling happy, but he sat looking at a picture of Ida. 'We could have gotten married, right? Besides, Kyo proposed to Alice first. I knew Kyo and Alice were going out, so I shouldn't be jealous.' He looked at his jam jar, eating more jam out of it. "This will be so much fun!"
Meanwhile…
Pai Mei Lin sat down; finished with a scene in a movie she was in. She was only in a supporting role, but it was a good start. "I'm glad those two are getting together, I'll have so much fun helping Alice out!"
Meanwhile…
Kyo woke to hearing a sound of the door opening; he didn't know when he had laid beside Alice…maybe a few hours ago? "Yuki? How long have I been asleep?"
"Four hours, master Kyo." He placed a tray on the chair; it had some sweets for snacks. Yuki left once again, and Kyo felt Alice shifting awake.
"Let's relax Alice, your fever has broke." They ate some of the snacks, having a fun talk. The talk of the day they would marry made them happy, letting them feel even better.
