Chapter Nine: Tsukino Miyazawa

---

Retching. Puking. Throwing up.

No matter what synonym one used, it still sounded perfectly awful.

Tsukino supposed that the names were appropriate enough.

What an awful feeling this was, this horrid, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching condition Tsukino had had to endure since just this morning.

Give her the cough, the chills, the fever; just alleviate the poor girl from that languid sickness known as the stomach flu.

The girl was still wondering how on Earth she had contracted the disease.

No one she knew had been sick.

Oh; Tsukino had taste-tested Yukino's spaghetti last night.

Ah, that was it.

Blame the sister.

A/N: Hi, faithful readers! 3 So far, this is my first author's note out of nine chapters I've posted so far. I know my writing's a bit choppy because I'm shifting back and forth between characters so much (in fact, I realize that Maho's the only character I've actually staged more than one drabble around), but I'm .. improving. Somehow. XD; My next chapter is only half a drabble. (Fifty words, instead of my normal one hundred.) It's already written, tho'. I'll have it up tomorrow. Bye.
