Around seven in the morning, Sachi finally found the strength to pick her head up from Gaara's chest and out from under the covers. Around five, she had been unable to take it anymore, but instead of leaving him there alone, she had just pulled the blanket over her head. It was easier for her that way. She still saw the light from the lightning flashing through her blanket, however, so she kept herself huddled against Gaara, telling herself that the only reason she was this close was because she was scared, and the only reason he was tolerating it was because he knew she was afraid. The reason she had been able to move, however, was because the storm had finally dispersed.
"Well, Gaara...I'd better get over to my house now. My mom will freak if I'm not there when she wakes up. I'll see you later, ok?"
"Goodbye."
"Not goodbye." She smiled. "See you later."
He smiled. "See you."
She jumped off the roof and snuck back into her house through the window this time, making her bed and closing the umbrella. Tired from staying up all night, she got into pajamas, laid down, and fell asleep.
Sachi woke up four hours later feeling very sick. Her knees were weak, and she was almost unable to sit up. When she tried to stand, however, she dropped straight to her knees and fell onto her face, not even able to catch herself. When her mother found her, she was still lying face down in the carpet of her room.
"Sachi! What's wrong with you, honey, get up!" Sachi's mother helped her get back into bed. She felt her forehead. "Oh, honey, you're burning up! When your father gets home, we're going to take you to the hospital."
"No!" Sachi yelped sickly. "No hospital, no..."
"Honey, you're so sick-"
"No hospital. Give me a few days, and if I'm not better on the fourth morning, you can take me. Ok?"
Sachi's mother nodded doubtfully. "Alright...you stay here. I'll get you some soup."
"Yeah...I'm not going anywhere, mom."
Sachi's mother left, and almost immediately, Sachi went back to sleep. The next morning, her mother woke her up to get some soup.
"Mom? What...what time is it?"
"It's day two, and it's ten in the morning."
Sachi's eyes widened. "Can I go exploring?"
"What?! Your fever's getting worse...oh no..."
"No, no, mom, nevermind. It's alright. I'm fine. I'll be better in no time. See?" Sachi ate some soup, then puked it up immediately.
"Oh, honey..."
"I'm sorry, Mom...I didn't mean to..."
"Oh, I know, dear, it's alright. I'll get this cleaned up in a jiffy."
Sachi fell asleep again right after that.
Meanwhile, Gaara was on their roof, watching the door of her house anxiously. 'She's late...why is she late? Maybe...maybe her mother found out and grounded her to the house again. Maybe that's it. Yeah, definitely.' He knit his eyebrows together in worry.
'She'd never believe those kids...would she?'
!!!YEAH!!!
