"How is she doctor?" cam Hijikata's voice.
Hiku opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling above her.
"She is too stress. It might be because of her upcoming exams. Let her rest in bed for a few days. And give her the medicine that I have prescribed. The antibiotics is once every three hours and the green medicine is once twice every day, after eating." the doctor explained.
Hiku turned her head to find Kondo, Hijikata and her father's colleague, Doctor Mashumurei.
"Thank you doctor. I'll see you out." Kondo said as he opened the door of Hiku's room.
Closing the door behind the doctor, Hijikata walked towards the balcony and untied the curtains allowing them to fall gracefully together and thus blocking out the sunlight.
"How are you feeling miss?" Hijikata asked as he turned and fill a glass of water byHiku's bedside table.
"Horrible... This headache is killing me," Hiku groaned as she probed herself up on her pillows.
"What happened?"
"That is what I wanted to ask you miss. Nicole said that she came to find you as you had not gone down for breakfast yet. And then she said that she found you lying on the floor unconscious." Hijikata said as he passed the glass of water to Hiku.
"Thanks..." Hiku muttered as she drank the water gratefully.
"Your school has been informed that you would not be attending any lessons for the nest three days." Hijikata said as he took the now empty glass.
"But, my exams are in three weeks time!" Hiku retorted in horror.
"Yes. That is why, I have invited Soji to come and help you as much as possible." Hijikata replied calmly.
"You've got to be kidding me..." Hiku muttered.
"Trust me missy, I am as serious as I could ever be. And you are not allowed to spend so much time studying now. Sleep promptly at 11.30 pm each day. I will come to check on you every two hours. Have a good rest missy. Oh yes, Ms Kio would be pleased if you called her later." Hijikata said as he opened the door and walked out.
Hiku sighed as she pushed the blanket off her. She was still wearing her school uniform. Standing up, Hiku pulled opened her closet drawer and pulled out a pair of white pants and a red top. Locking her door, Hiku removed her school uniform and wore her home clothes. Turning her head, Hiku stared at the clock on her bedside table. It read 10.56 am.
"It's 11 only? School doesn't end till 2!" Hiku groaned as she sat down at the foot of her bed.
She ran a hand through her hair before her head throbbed painfully again. Groaning, Hiku tied her hair into a low pony-tail.
"Damn headache," Hiku groaned.
"A cup of hot chocolate should do me good." Hiku said as she stood up and made her way downstairs towards the kitchen.
Walking down the stairs, Hiku walked past Kondo and greeted him a good morning. Half-way past the living room, Hiku looked out of the window and at the fountain in the middle of the driveway. Smiling, Hiku continued on her way to the kitchen. Pushing opening the oak door leading to the kitchen, Hiku smelled the aroma of freshly baked bread and freshly brewed coffee.
"Mmm... Delicious!" Hiku exclaimed as Hiku stared at what the maids were eating.
"Would you like some missy?" Maria, one of the maids asked.
"No thanks. I fancy a cup of hot chocolate." Hiku replied as she walked to the fridge.
"We got it ready for you miss." the cook, Hamenamo said as he stood up and took a hot water bottle from beside the oven and opened it.
The smell of hot chocolate filled the room and Hiku grinned in delight. Hamenamo poured the hot chocolate into a mug and passed it to Hiku who said her thanks and sipped the chocolate slowly.
"Marvelous!" Hiku exclaimed as she drank the hot chocolate.
Holding the mug in her hands, Hiku thanked the Hamenamo and walked out of the kitchen sipping her hot chocolate slowly, savoring the warm liquid. Walking through the sitting room, Hiku looked at the family portraits hanging on the walls. Smiling slightly, Hiku opened the door leading outside. Putting on a pair of slippers, Hiku stepped into the sunlight.
"I love such days..." Hiku sighed happily.
Just then, a white Mercedes pulled up in front of the main gates. Curious, Hiku made her way towards the door. From the driver's seat, out came Soji Okita.
"Soji! What are you doing here?" Hiku asked as she reached the main gate and opened it up.
"Well, see who has returned." Soji said as he opened the back seat door.
A tanned-skinned male with baby-blue hair and blonde highlights stepped out of the car, followed by a slightly tanned lady with shoulder-length red hair. The two of them turned and smiled at Hiku. Stunned, Hiku just stared at them.
"Mum, dad?" Hiku muttered.
"Hey darling. We're home..." Hanato said as the two of them walked towards their daughter.
"Dad, mum, you're home!" Hiku said as she placed the mug on to the floor and ran forward to hug her parents.
"We know darling, we know..." Rioka said as she hugged her daughter.
"I missed you so much!" Hiku said as pearls of tears leaked out of her eyes.
"We missed you girls too. But we're home now..." Hanato said as he smiled at his wife.
Soji smiled at the group before realizing how much bags that we for him to carry into the house.
"You have got to be kidding me..." Soji muttered.
"Welcome back sir, madam.' Hijikata said as he walked forward to help Soji.
"Welcome back we have long awaited your return sir, madam." Kondo said as he bowed and went to help Soji.
"Thank goodness you two came. Or else I would have died!" Soji laughed as he picked up three bags.
Hijikata smiled at Soji as he himself picked up three bags. That left Kondo with the humongous luggage.
"I'm supposed to bring this in?" Kondo asked.
But to his surprise, Hijikata and Soji had already started to walk away. Muttering to himself, Kondo dragged the luggage slowly.
"We bought a lot of gifts. For you and your friends and of course Nakuru when she returns." Rioka said as she clapped her hands together smiling.
"She forced me to follow her around..." Hanato muttered to himself.
Pretending not to hear that, Rioka continued to talk to Hiku about how it was in Africa. Hanato sighed and followed behind the two ladies.
"Come on Kondo-san, you can do it!" Hanato said as he turned behind and waved at the figure still dragging the luggage.
"You are being an idiot darling." Rioka said as she closed the door on him...
A/N Here it is chapter 25! I know it isn't exciting or anything like that. But I hope you liked it. Finally Hiku's parents are home. Haha. Chapter 26 as soon as possible okay? Haha. I'm sorry, I'm a little high right now.
