Shadow: WOOHOO!! I'm not sick anymore!!

Kukai: -sweatdrops- Who knew you would be this happy? It's only been 4 days…

Shadow: Well 4 days is a month in the sickness calendar. Hey. Where's Haruko?

Kukai: She said she was going to sleep until you get better.

Shadow: SHE SLEPT FOR 30 HOURS!?

Kukai: Shadow… there are 96 hours in 4 days…

Shadow: Whatever! Where is she?

Kukai: She's sleeping on the floor…-points to a corner where she's sleeping-

Shadow: Okay. I'm going to smile evilly now as you people read the story! –smiles-

I got home after the second snow war, tired. Tsuki foated behind me and collapsed on a couch pillow. "Tsuki, you want anything?" I asked her as I went to the kitchen to get milk.

"Yeah… I want to rest…" she mumbled and fell asleep. I sweatdropped and sat on the couch. I took a sip of my milk but then sneezed a minute later.

"Geh… retarded Kukai… making me play in the snow. I think I got a cold now." I sighed and walked to my room after finishing my milk.

I collapsed on my bed. "So tired!" I whined. I noticed that my bed had a different scent on it. "Why does it smell different?"

I sat up then realized I still had Ikuto's jacket on. 'I should really give it back now.' I thought and stood up. A big headache came, so I laid back down.

'On second thought, I don't think he'll miss it for a day…It sorta smells nice…' I smiled then blushed. 'No! What am I thinking?! I don't like him! Besides, Kukai's way better!' I turned even redder. 'What the hell is wrong with me?! I don't like them! Kukai's just my friend and Ikuto's just… well I don't know what he is, but I don't like him either!'

I groaned. I think that thought just make my headache get even worse. I sighed and fell asleep, hoping the headache will go away. Thankfully it did, but I was unaware that I was also getting a bad fever.

(Tsuki's POV)

I groggily woke up from my small nap. I didn't see Haruko on the couch. "Haruko?" I wondered as I floated around. 'She must be in her room.'

I floated to her door and put my ear against the door. I heard her snoring softly, but then I heard her groan in pain. "Haruko, are you alright?" I called out and tried to open the door. The knob was hard to turn. I looked down and saw that there was a small gap on the bottom of the door I could squeeze through.

I floated down and crawled under the gap. As I stood back up, I looked in horror to see Haruko looking like she was in pain. I floated above her head and felt her forehead. Yup. She was burning up. Note to self: Kill Kukai for making Haruko look like this.

I floated over to the phone on her desk. I struggled as I pushed it over. I looked at the directory list and found Kukai's number there. I pressed talk and then speaker. "Hello?" I heard a voice boom, which made me topple over the desk. I floated back to the phone.

"Kukai?" I asked.

"Haruko? You sound different. Are you alright?" I heard him say.

"No. This is Tsuki." I told him. I cleared my throat. "KUKAI YOU IDIOT!! YOU MADE HARUKO HAVE A FEVER!!"

It was silent for a few seconds. "Kukai?" I asked. Silence. That is, until the door broke down. I turned around and saw Kukai and Daichi panting.

"Where's Haruko?" He asked. I pointed over to her. He face palmed himself. "Ahh! I'm such an idiot!!"

He yelled and continued to hit himself until there was a knock at the balcony door. We turned around to see Ikuto and Yoru. "Ikuto?"

I turned to Kukai. "Open the door for him. We might need his help." I commanded him. Kukai obeyed thankfully and Ikuto pointed at my owner when he came in.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Mr. Idiot here made her stay in the cold too long and made her get a high fever." I glared. Kukai apologized again. "Can one of you get medicine and the other get a cold towel?"

They nodded and went to get them. I stared at their charas. "You two help too!"

Yoru yawned. "I don't wanna, nya." I threw a knife at him.

"You better help me or else!!" I threatened. The both screamed and ran behind their owners as they just walked in.

"I got the towel." Kukai said and placed it on Haruko's forehead.

"I found medicine." Ikuto lazily said and held it up.

"Good. Poor the medicine into a cup and let Haruko drink it."

Ikuto sighed and poured it into a small cup. He brought it over to Haruko. "Oi. Birdy-chan. Drink this." He said.

Haruko's eye's tried to open for a second, but she was too weak. I looked at her worryingly. "She's too weak to even drink it…"

Ikuto sighed again. "I guess there's no other choice then…" He mumbled and put some of the medicine in his mouth. My eyes widened. He's not going to do what I think he's going to do, is he? Ikuto lifted Haruko's chin up a little and was about to lean in when Kukai hit him on the head.

Ikuto spat out the medicine on the floor and glared at Kukai. He glared back. "What are you trying to do?!"

"What do you think? I was trying to give your little friend here the medicine." Ikuto said. Wow. He didn't yell.

"Well then, don't do it like that! She's going to get pissed when she wakes up!"

"Well, would you like to do it then?" Ikuto smirked at Kukai's red face. "I bet you would, wouldn't you?"

"No! She's just my friend!"

"Hey! Enough with the fighting! Don't give Haruko the medicine yet. Ikuto, don't even try to do that again, and Kukai, don't even try to do it! We'll just have to rely on the towel to cool her down a bit so she can have enough strength to drink the medicine later." I yelled.

They both 'hmphed' and turned away from each other. I sighed. 'This is going to be a long night….'

(Haruko's POV)

I groaned as I tried to remember what happened while I was sleeping. 'I think I heard Ikuto, Tsuki, and Kukai…' I thought as I looked around. It was night time and it was somewhat hot. 'I probably got a fever.'

I felt my forehead. A cold towel was on it. "Tsuki must've put it on…" I mumbled. I turned to my left and saw a cup of medicine on the desk. I drank some of it and almost spat it out. It tasted horrible!

I held my breath and drank a bit more. "Ugh… this tastes nasty…" I said to myself. I heard a voice groan. I looked to my left to see Kukai and Ikuto sleeping at the side of my bed. They were sitting on the floor with their knees and the rest of their bodies leaning on my bed. I smiled a little.

"Haruko…please get better…" I heard Tsuki say in her sleep.

I quietly got out of bed. I was a bit dizzy, but I was still able to walk fine. I was about to walk out when I heard a voice. "I see you're awake Birdy-chan."

I turned around to see Ikuto sitting up straight. He stretched and yawned. "Ah. Did I wake you up?" I asked him. He nodded a little. "Thank you for taking care of me." I bowed a little.

He walked toward me and patted me on the head. "No need to be so formal kid."

I looked up and glared. "I'm not a kid. I'm only like what? Three years older than you?"

"Whatever." He said and turned away. I giggled when I heard Kukai snore. I walked over to him and looked at his sleeping face. "You like that guy?"

I turned red. "No! Why do people always thing that?" I whispered angrily. He smirked.

"I don't know, because you two look like you do?"

I sighed and put a blanket over Kukai so he wouldn't get cold. "Look, we're just friends. Besides, I don't like anyone."

Ikuto pouted and hugged me from behind. "You don't like me Haru-chan?"

I blushed. "N-no…"

He smirked and hugged me tighter. "I don't think stuttering helps. I could even hear your heart beating really fast."

"Y-you're just hearing things."

"Ehh… Haruko…? Ikuto?!" I heard Kukai yell, waking the charas up. I struggled to get out of his grasp.

"Good morning soccer boy." Ikuto smirked.

"What are you doing with Haruko?" He yelled as he stood up.

"What does it look like? I'm hugging her."

"Let go of me!!" I yelled in frustration.

"Ah! Haruko!" Tsuki yelled and hugged my cheek. "You're awake!!"

"Yeah. I'm awake. But right now, the problem is Mr. Kitty hugging me!!" I yelled.

"Why do you hate me?" Ikuto asked as he put his head on my shoulder. I sighed and looked at Kukai.

"Ikuto. Get off her." Kukai scolded.

"I don't wanna…" he mumbled and sat on the floor, making me sit between his legs. Kukai glared. Ikuto smirked. "Jealous?"

"No! Why would I?!" He yelled loudly. I winced. Man Kukai could be hella loud sometimes…

"Oi. Stop yelling. You're hurting Birdy-chan's ears." Ikuto said, his breath near my ear. I jumped away, covering my ears. "Eh? So Birdy-chan's ears are sensitive too?"

"Look, can you two just stop fighting? It's so annoying." Tsuki complained.

"Meh. It can't be helped. They're just that childish." Daichi mumbled.

"I know, nya. Ikuto never does this much teasing with Am-" Ikuto covered Yoru's mouth.

"With who?" I asked him.

"It's no one. Anyway, you're all better. That's good." Ikuto turned to Yoru. "Let's go."

I remembered something. "Ah! Ikuto wait!" He turned to me with his tail swaying confusingly. "Here. Take your jacket back."

I took off the jacket and handed it to Ikuto. He gave it back. "No. I told you just to hold it on for now." He was about to take off when I tied the sleeves around him neck.

"I told you, I'm giving it back. I think I smell like you now because of it..." I said and looked away. He secretly smiled and patted me on the head.

"Whatever. Ja, Haruko." He said and jumped away. I sighed and closed the balcony door.

I yawned. "Anyways. Kukai, you can stay here for the night if you want to. I'm going back to sleep." I said and laid on the floor. "You can sleep on the bed."

"But-" Kukai started.

"Don't worry. I don't think there are germs on it. I only had a fever right?"

"No. Not that. You're still sick. I'll sleep on the floor."

"No. I'll sleep on the floor. You're the guest."

"And you're the sick person." Kukai stated. We had the argument for about 20 more minutes until our charas shut us up.

"Look! Why don't you both sleep on the bed like last time?" Daichi suggested. Tsuki hit him on the head.

"No you boy! That's crazy!" Tsuki said. I nodded in agreement. Daichi rubbed his head.

"Sorry… Why don't you both sleep on the floor then?" Kukai and I looked at eat other and nodded. I slept on the right side of my bed, while Kukai slept on the left. You know, just in case nothing weird happens?

"Night Kukai." I said as I turned of the lights.

"Night." He replied back.

Shadow: Uwah.. too lazy to right more… -.-

Guardians: When are we going to appear?

Utau: And me. I didn't appear for 5 chapters.

Shadow: Geh… again with complaints? I'll think of something to add all of you in the next chapter. I think my brain just died so I have to find a new creative one… -.-

Utau: Hey… Where's Ikuto and Haruko?

Shadow: Oh yeah! I almost forgot! –smiles evilly again-

Rima: -whispers- I don't like that look on her face…

Shadow: I felt like being evil, so I carefully shoved her next to Ikuto and took a picture of them sleeping. Then I felt like being more evil and shoved them in a closet. I can't wait to see what her face looks like! –cackles-

Everyone: Uh…see you next time, minna! –nervously smiling-
