Fuji cleared his throat for the nth time that day in hopes to ease the itching sensation since he was now recovering from his sore throat which had caused his fever to shoot up the previous day. His mother had kept watch over him since yesterday, going in and out his room during the evening just to check on him.

Yumiko had taken the day off from work as well to help him around the house -which he thought wasn't really necessary anymore since he was feeling better- and had been keeping him company since that morning. He knew that he'll recover in time for Saturday and be able to go back to class the next day.

His fever had gone and all that was left was the irritating itch in his throat from time to time.

The tensai sighed as he looked out the window to observe the rain outside, there was nothing else to do since he was supposed to stay in bed until prior notice of either his sister or his mother. He closed his eyes and listened to the rain fall and soon enough he fell asleep.

When he woke up he noticed that the sky had already changed in terms of color, meaning that he had been asleep for quite some time, that and he had four messages. Glad that he already had load, he proceeded to read them. Three of the messages came from his blockmates asking him how he was and that their teacher was also asking how he was feeling; he found it strange but replied anyway.

The last message, much to his surprise and delight, was from Tezuka who was asking if he could find some time to go online to chat. He thought for a moment before saying that he'll be going online during the evening instead since he was too comfortable in bed for the time being. Once he sent the message another one came in, it was from another blockmate that stated that he had to send an email before 6pm to one of their classmates.

He checked the time and sighed, he might as well send it rather than wait for the last minute to do so. He powered up his laptop and waited for it to fully load. While waiting the tensai decided to go downstairs to get something to eat, as he did so he evaluated himself to see if there was a notable change in the way that he was feeling.

'Slight body ache aside, I feel great.' he thought in satisfaction as he grabbed some sushi from the fridge and headed back upstairs.

He chuckled as he sat back down, "Saa...next time I'll make sure to listen to a certain someone when it comes to things like this." he said with a smile. "Looks like I won't have to worry about Saturday, after all."
