A/N: It's 4:36 a.m. here in my country and I'm writing this entry. Yep! I didn't go to sleep because my life's a complete mess and isn't allowing me any sleep. So, I thought that it's better to type this rather than tossing and turning in the bed sheets. XD

Thanks to kana nishizono and melissaanne29. You guy have been reviewing every chapter and it really means a lot :D

Day 25: Kissing away her Pain

Summary: Shirayuki gets injured as she tries to work while she is still sore. Zen pays her a visit...

"Master!"

On hearing the loud call from his personal messenger, the second prince left his work desk and quirked a questioning brow at the catlike young man. He has a lot of paperwork to deal with, so Obi better have a good reason for intruding him.

"Master" he huffed out again, "It's the Mistress..she's injured."

Before Obi knew it, he was being dragged-out of the room by a grim looking Zen. The Prince sighed as he kept tugging on his messenger's jacket partly in anxiety, partly in hurry.

"What happened?" Zen asked as they kept striding towards the most probable place that she will be at the moment— infirmary.

"Well..uh..she was in the library trying to pick some books when suddenly the ladder slipped and she toppled down with it. Her ankle is sprained.." explained the ex-assassin.

"And what exactly were you doing when this happened?" Zen gritted out.

"I..well.." Obi lowered his head, thinking about how he has failed to protect his dear mistress yet again.

His young master punched him lightly on his bicep and flashed an appreciative smile. "It's alright, Obi. You did your best."

When he saw Shirayuki lying on that small bed inside the infirmary, he felt like slamming his fist against the nearest wall. She had been sore the other day and still, she chose to get back to work today itself. Great! It's not like he can convince her because when it comes to listening to reason, she is just as stubborn as he is and only does what she feels like doing. Well..her injury is partly his fault because, if he hadn't been so rough on her then she wouldn't have been sore. And if she wouldn't have been sore then she would've easily picked all the books she required without failing to stand properly. She is still in pain and should've just rested. Dammit!

"I'm sorry." He muttered, gesturing with his palm for Obi to take his leave.

Once he was gone, the red-haired beauty sighed, "Zen, how many times do I need to tell you? Stop blaming yourself for something so normal! It happens to every girl."

Childishly, he pouted and grabbed her injured foot gently in his palm. She wondered what he was doing and as if on cue, her query was answered by him lowering his head. He planted a soft, lingering kiss along her sprained ankle and mumbled, "I know..I just wish I could kiss away your pain.."

She giggled sweetly, "You just did."

A/N: So it's 5: 03 now and I've finished typing. I am posting this chapter so early in the morning because after this, I'll immediately go to sleep and wakeup late around early noon.

I know this was very short(probably the shortest entry) but I kinda wanted to write something about a 'kiss on the foot'. It expresses genuine feelings for someone you hold very special in your heart.

Hope you guys liked it..:3
