High School Nightmare
Chapter 11: The Fever
Walking to Shibaki's House, Francesca and Amu/Anju
(Amu's POV)
"So, how's it going with Shibaki-kun?" I asked Francesca, and she blushed. "He's just so sweet and adorable! He really likes to have fun, it's just like when we were kids... only a little different." She said, and her face reddened even more, and I laughed at her. "Sh-shut up Anju! I haven't felt so happy since I dated Ikuto!" She shouted, and I nodded and smiled at her. "Don't worry, I'm happy for you, it's just so cute is all." I said, and she smiled back.
"Are you sure his house is close? Walking around too much won't be good for you." I said, and she rolled her eyes at me and continued to walk. "I'll be fine, it's not too far, there! See?" She pointed at a big house, a bit smaller than hers. "There's Shibaki's house." She said, and I nodded and walked next to her the short remaining distance.
We arrived at the house, and me being the way I am, gaped. Francesca rang the loud bell, and a maid opened the door. "Ah! Francesca-sama! Please come in. Shibaki-sama is in his room." The maid greeted immediately, and she bowed. Francesca led the way through the house, up some stairs, and then down a long clean hallway. She stopped at a door that looked the same as any of the others, and knocked slightly. "Shibaki? It's Frankie and Anju."
The door opened to a girl with dark gold hair with ribbons on the sides, a bright orange dress on with light green leggings. "Welcome!" She said in a cute high-pitched voice, and her eyes opened to reveal... bright emerald green eyes that widened. "Ah, Frankie-chan and Anju-chan. I'm so indecent..." It was then that I realized that was Shibaki, and he giggled in the same tone. "Kya! How embarrassing!" He shouted, putting his hands against his pink cheeks.
"Sh-Shi-Shibaki, I thought that you stopped being Ruki a long time ago?" Francesca asked with clear embarrassment in her tone, and she shot frantic glances towards me. "Care to explain?" I asked, and Shibaki looked at me. "Sure thing Anju-chan. I-" Francesca hit him and he quieted. "Shibaki used to dress like a girl when we were younger... people were always cruel to him because of how he looked." Francesca explained, looking at Shibaki with a wary expression.
"B-But! Sometimes it comes in handy to dress up like a different person!" Shibaki said happily, and it made me a bit sick, and I looked down at the suddenly interesting carpet. "Anju-chan, are you okay?" Shibaki asked me in his still girl voice, and I nodded. "Yeah, I just don't feel my greatest right now is all." I replied, bringing my head up, and Shibaki placed his soft hand against my forehead. "Well, you are a bit warm Anju-chan, maybe we should take you home?" He asked, and I smiled. "It's alright, I'm okay."
He looked un-sure, but he nodded and turned and walked inside of his room, motioning for us to follow. "Anyways, I'll change now. I was just having fun Frankie-chan..." He turned and leaned into her, slowly bringing a finger under her chin, lifting her head up. He was a bit short, maybe only four inches taller than myself, but he was shorter than Ikuto.
"Do you really not forgive me?" He asked her in his regular tone, and she looked un-phased. "If you think that you are going to kiss me when you look like that, then you are mistaken Shibaki." She said in a flat tone, and he smiled and walked over to his closet. He opened it and looked inside, and eventually settled on a light blue T-shirt and some black jeans, and he quickly changed, not bothering to leave the room. I felt my jaw drop when he removed the dress.
"You even wear a bra Shibaki-kun?" I asked, and he smiled as he pulled the shirt over his head(he removed the bra), and I turned away when he removed the leggings. When I turned back around, he was removing the ribbons, and then he placed his hair into a pony-tail, the same way he wore it every day. (He looks like Maora in Shinshi Doumei Cross, only not as short, plus green eyes.)
He turned and walked back over to Francesca quickly, and he pressed his lips against hers, and her face reddened with pleasure as she kissed him back. I giggled as I sat down on Shibaki's bed, and I looked around his large room as I waited. "Anju-chan, you look really pale... maybe you should go?" I looked back at Shibaki, and my head throbbed and my vision got dizzy. "Uh... maybe. It was nice seeing you Shibaki-kun, sorry Francesca." I said, and I stood and walked out of his room before they could offer me help.
"Ah, miss! Please allow us to take you home!" Many of the servants cried, but I shook my head and smiled. "It's okay, I can do it myself." I comforted them, and then I walked out of the house and down the street, leaning against the large stone fence. "It's so cold..." I mumbled, and I saw my charas look at me worriedly. "Are you okay Amu-chan desu?" Suu whispered, and I nodded. "I don't think she is... she just said it's cold, it's seventy degrees out." Miki whispered back to Suu.
"Home is... too far." I panted as I leaned against the fence, and I looked across the street. "The park, that will work for now..." I whispered, and I felt a droplet on my nose. I felt the droplets continue, and soon it began to rain, harder and harder. "Gotta hurry..." I said, and I walked across the small street and into the park which was now empty. I stumbled across the bright green grass, and eventually I felt to my knees, and then to the ground underneath a tree. "Amu-chan!" My charas cried, but I could hardly hear them, it was too cold... so cold...
Later
My eyes burst open, my whole body was shivering, my breathing was labored and I had no idea where I was. "Where... where..." I shivered and went to pull the blanket on me up, and a warm hand stopped me. "Anju." I turned my head to see Tsukiyomi Ikuto, and he looked worried. "Y-You. It's c-cold." I whispered, and just trying to jerk my arm away took a lot of effort. "You have a fever..." He said, and I saw disapproval in his eyes.
My eyes started to burn, and I rubbed at them slightly. "My eyes... burn... they hurt." I mumbled, and I rubbed them a bit harder, I began to scratch at them, and I felt a hand try and stop me. "No! My eyes are burning!" I screeched, and I scratched at my eyes again. I clawed and scratch and rubbed at my eyes until I felt the contacts come off on my hand, and my arms dropped, my eyes slowly opened.
(Ikuto's POV)
I blinked as I saw her open her eyes, only to reveal bright golden ones, the whites a bit pink from rubbing them and tears had now formed. she looked at me pathetically, yet I was pretty sure she couldn't exactly see me. I sighed and I took the contacts out of her hand are placed them on the table, and I dabbed a cold washcloth against her forehead.
"You liar, you are Amu." I whispered in her ear, and she shook her head weakly and tried to push me away, but her hands were like feathers. "Don't move, you'll make the fever worse." I whispered again, and she shivered. "Y-You wouldn't understand it..." She mumbled, and then her eyes closed and she stopped talking, but got constant shivers every now and then.
"I wouldn't understand? What is that supposed to mean?" I asked myself, and I looked at Yoru and he shrugged.
One Hour Later
(Amu's POV)
I slowly opened my eyes to a dark, unfamiliar room. "What...?" My voice was hoarse, and I tried to clear it by coughing quietly. I tried to lift my hand, but something stopped me. I looked down and I almost shrieked. There was Ikuto, his head was resting against my hand gently, and he held my hand in his, and I sighed. I let my eyes wander over to the table next to the bed, and my eyes widened. "Are those-" "You're contacts? Yes, they are, Anju. Or should I call you Amu?" Ikuto asked me, and I saw that he was looking up at me. Oh, shit.
Heather: All done, short, yes. Apologies! But, R&R~ CIAO!
