All four of them in agreement, pick up Keitaro and carry him to his room
and lay him on his futon. Shinobu places a cool cloth on his forehead while
Naru goes to call the doctor with Kitsune accompanying her. Even while Naru
was on the phone with Keitaro's doctor, she knew something was wrong. She
could tell by the tone of Naru's voice.
Naru: So his cold has accelerated just as we feared. I see. Yes, I know. I agree, that does sound best. Thank you, goodbye.
Naru, taking a deep breath, slowly hangs up the phone and faces Kitsune, whose worried look matches hers.
Kitsune: Well? What did she say? Is Keitaro going to be alright?
Naru: Well it's like this. The chances for him recovering are equal with the chances of him not. He could go either way at anytime. There is really nothing that the hospital can do for him. He has to battle this on his own. All we can do is give him common cold medicine and ice packs to try and get his fever down. But there's one thing for sure that she said, he's better off here at home with us.
Kitsune looks at Naru for a moment more then nods and goes into Keitaro's room, leaving Naru to herself. Naru watches Kitsune leave then, turning her gaze to the ceiling, begins to talk to herself.
Naru: Darn you Keitaro, you always have to make things so difficult. We're really in for a long haul this time.
Then slowly she walks back into Keitaro's room and shuts the door.
************* 5 days later ********************
Its five days later and Keitaro is starting to look a lot better. His fever has gone down considerably and he is breathing normally, possibly due to wake up at any moment. Naru, who has refused to leave Keitaro's bedside, lightly dabs his face with a cool cloth. Kitsune and the others are in the hot springs. Naru turns to re-wet the cloth she had been using then turns around to see Keitaro looking groggily at her, a smile on his face. Dropping the rag, she grabs Keitaro and holds him in a tight hug.
Keitaro: Hey naru.
Naru: Oh Keitaro! I'm so glad you're awake! Have you realized that you've put me and the others through pure hell for the last 2 weeks?
Keitaro: I'm sor-
Naru quickly cuts Keitaro off by placing a finger over his lips.
Naru: Haven't I told you before that I'm tired of hearing you say you're sorry? Just shut up and get better before I knock you out again! Keitaro grinned and nodded. A week later everything was back to normal.
Naru: Keitaro! You perverted idiot! Get back here so I can beat the hell out of you with your crutches!
Naru, as usual, was chasing Keitaro up and down the hallways of Hinata Lodge. Even with crutches Keitaro was maintaining his usual break neck speed to get away from Naru and the pummeling she had in mind. Then to add on to his problems, Su appears out of nowhere and latches to Keitaro's midsection with death grip.
Keitaro: (while still running) Su! Let go! I'm still injured you know and that really, really hurts!!!
Su: Nya ha ha! I'll never let go of you my dear Keitaro!
Naru: Slow him down Su! He's got a good pummeling coming!
At those words Keitaro really picks up the pace, crutches, Su, and all, until he runs smack into Motoko knocking her over. Temporarily Keitaro stop's to check and see if Motoko is all right, constantly checking behind him to see how far behind Naru is. Leaning on one crutch and holding his hand out to Motoko, Keitaro puts on his most innocent smile.
Keitaro: Oh! Hey there Motoko! Sorry about that, I didn't even see you there. Are you alright? You're not hurt are you?
Motoko swiftly brushes his hand away and stands up, an irritable glare on her face. Quickly she draws her sword and points it at his nose. He sweat drops and hobbles backwards, Su still latched to his side.
Motoko: You bastard! You never watch where you're going, you do everything blindly! Your infinite ignorance makes me sick. But do not worry you spineless coward. I will beat some sense into you! Now hold still!
Keitaro: Wha-what?! Wait Motoko! I'm sorry! I can explain just don't-
Too late! Motoko has raised her sword and is ready to strike, but Keitaro narrowly escapes her blow and begins to run again, Su loses her grip on him and he speeds up, narrowly avoiding an aerial attack from Naru. Keitaro, now running wildly down the hall and into the hot spring area, is as usual waving his arms about and whining.
Keitaro: Their going to kill me this time for sure!!!
But before he can speak any further he runs smack dab into a half dressed Kitsune and Shinobu. Shinobu, embarrassed, run's off crying, while Kitsune, ridiculously drunk as usually, tries to put the moves on him.
Kitsune: Well, well Keitaro. It would seem we are in yet another hopelessly odd situation eh? (she chuckles) Well, I say this time we go all the way! What do you say? In saying this, Kitsune begins to caress his face in a romantic manner. Keitaro sweat-dropping as usual, yells and starts running again. Kitsune yells after him.
Kitsune: Oh come on now! I won't bite, hard.
Keitaro: Runs out of sight, and back into his room. Careful to turn off the lights so he wont be discovered, he sits on the floor, leaning against a wall, listening to the chaos outside of his door.
Naru: I know I saw him come this way.
Su: Keitaro! Yoo Hoo! Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!
Motoko: I'm going to really get Urashima this time! No mercy.
Kitsune: Hey Keitaro where are ya? I just wanna have a little fun is all!
The commotion goes on for a few minutes then ends and they all leave in different directions. Knowing that he is in the clear for a while, Keitaro relaxes a bit. Holding a hand to his stomach, he winces at a little bit of pain. The last 2 to 3 weeks of his life has been really busy. He'd gotten in an accident, and almost died from a common cold. There was basically nothing he couldn't handle, except for one thing, living in a dorm full of moody girls. He laughed at that thought and slowly drifted off into a light sleep, still listening to the silent whispers of the girls he lived with and knew all too well.
Well that's it people! I will be writing more Fan fiction's soon. So keep my name in mind. Also please feel free to always R&R. It keeps my work going. C-ya around! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
