Chapter 11: Almost bed rest

"Shigure I want to go to school now!" Analee argued with Shigure when she woke up.

"No, for the last time, you are too weak. We shouldn't have let you start anyway," Shigure argued back.

"Yeah well I'm fine now ok."

"You weren't just a few minutes ago. You broke down, just in case you can't remember."

"That was a few minutes ago, I'm fine now. It was nothing, ok."

"You are not going."

"I will go. I'm fine. Nothing bad will happen," Analee said taking on a stern tone, and a look that demanded Shigure listen to her.

"I'll tell Yuki and Kyo to watch you, and if they think you might get sick, they will bring you back. Even if you're kicking and screaming, don't forget they are both strong teenage boys Analee, they could take you on if they wanted to," Shigure told Analee.

"Ok, I guess," Analee said while hugging Shigure, which he returned.

"Now get some rest so you'll be ready to go to school tomorrow," Shigure said, keeping the tears at bay as Analee went back to her room. I still can't believe she's here, hethought. What am I going to do with her? She is as wild as ever. I don't want her to get hurt again. I don't ever want to lose her again either. What am I to do? She will probably never listen to me, even if I'm now her guardian. I guess I'll just have to make it up as I go, won't I.

IN THE KITCHEN

"Alright now what are you two trying to do?" Analee asked as she walked in on the two boys trying to make breakfast, which would've been alright if they were making something simple. As you have guessed they were trying to make pancakes, eggs, and toasted ham, with orange juice. (What I had for breakfast this morning)

"We weren't trying anything. We are making breakfast," Yuki defended himself and his friend.

"Yep. Want to try some? It's really good?" Kyo said trying to charm Analee into eating their creation, let's put it that way.

"Yeah, I just convinced Shigure to let me go to school, I don't think I should risk my health anymore than necessary, so let me make breakfast, while you guys get ready for school ok?" Analee tried to persuade the duo.

"You don't know what you're missing out on," Yuki said as he and Kyo exited the kitchen. I don't know what I'm going to do with those two, Analee thought. They are so grown up. I feel so useless. They don't need me, they never did. Maybe I should leave before I hurt them again. I shouldn't have come back. I've caused nothing but pain again. What am I going to do?

AT SCHOOL

"Hello people of the J. Hill prison reform center. How has your day been? Anything interesting happen? I need all the gory details, so spill your hearts out?" Analee said to Uo earning her laughter from everyone. Even Kyo and Yuki who were really, really protective of her now and were watching her every move.

"It has been an uneventful day Analee. Our fine correctional officers are still trying to break us but haven't succeeded. And they are serving pizza for lunch today," Uo said playing along.

"I guess I have to go to the famous Sing Sing prison to get something good," Analee said almost seriously before she herself broke down in a fit of laughter, as did everyone else.

"Hey Analee I was wondering if I could talk to you really quick," Ronin asked in an innocent voice.

"Sure," Analee answered.

"Listen Analee, I really like you and I don't know if you like me but I was wondering if would be my girlfriend," Ronin blazed in a nervous voice.

"Wow, Ronin I never thought anyone could talk that fast, and I have to think about it. Can I give you my answer after school? Please meet me at the front doors," Analee said just as quickly and ran off with their other friends. It just so happened that Ryuichi and Tohru were having almost the same exact conversation with the same meeting place only the roles were switched. I wonder what the fates were thinking.
