~*~ Day 10- Taking a nap ~*~

Kido couldn't seem to contain the huge yawn rising as she set the timer for the rice cooker. Being tired irritated her, especially when she had so much to do. The dull headache throbbing near her temple didn't help at all either. And to top it off, they were out of ibuprofen.

No one had come in the kitchen to bother since she started making dinner. It was both a blessing and a curse, since she would have appreciated some help right now. Hopefully she didn't burn herself in this sleepy state. But after the fifth yawn within ten minutes, Kido covered her face with her hands. She had to go to sleep, that was the end of it. Everyone else could fend for themselves, since dinner was almost done, but she was going to bed.

With her hands covering her face Kido trudged down the hall. It turned out not to be the best of ideas to walk completely blind. She found this out after bumping in to the protruding corner of the wall. Kido cursed in frustration, rubbing her nose and glaring angrily at the wall like it had purposely caused her pain. Reaching out, she grabbed the door knob and turned it roughly to let herself in.

The window's curtains were still open, and it was funny because she didn't remember opening them, but it made her happy as she flopped down on the sun warmed comforter of her bed. Kido stretched out completely and snuggled against the pillows, burying her face in it. She let out a muffled moan into the pillow, not really caring how stupid she probably sounded. For some reason her pillows had this weird smell to them. It wasn't like a bad smell, but it was unusual and she couldn't describe it. It had been a while since she changed her sheets, though. With that thought, and before she could relish anymore in the comforts of her bed, she fell asleep.

To Kido, it seemed like she only blinked before she opened her eyes, but she obviously knew she had been sleeping due to the fact that her headache was gone and the room had gotten a whole lot darker.

Something moved next to her and, on reflex, she jolted and moved away, nearly falling off the bed in the process. The widow curtains were still open, letting the moon cast its dim light into the room. Kido looked and saw it was Kano next to her. His back was to her and his side moved up and down lightly.

Why Kano was in her room, Kido didn't know, unless. . . .

After taking another look around, though however hard it was, Kido mentally scolded herself. This wasn't her room; it was Kano's room. Now abusing herself physically, Kido slapped the palm of her hand to her forehead, flinching slightly as the sound seemed to echo through the otherwise silent room.

She probably should have left then. Just gone back to her room and silently brooded over how stupid she'd been. But, she didn't. Instead she laid back down on the mattress. Lightly she pushed against Kano while also whispering for him to move over, which he in his less than half conscious mind complied to. Kido snuggled back down into the pillows again and closed her eyes. Hopefully she'd be able to go back to sleep, and alert for the teasing that would no doubt come from Kano in the morning.

But Kido didn't know that the moment she snuggled back down, Kano woke up, but decided not to say anything. Especially when she cuddled into his side.

Already 1/3 of the way done~
