am trying. Who am I kidding? This is stupid. On with the chap.

Michiru walked into the office on Monday. No sign of her tears was left. Sonoko however looked as if she had been fighting World War 3 over the weekend.
"Morning girls." Koruko walked in. He was late.
"Morning." Sonoko and Michiru echoed. He stopped.
"Didn't sleep well?" He asked Sonoko.
"Oh, me?" Sonoko's eyes went wide.
"Uh, yes you." Koruko raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, well just not feeling well."
"Maybe you should go home..." Koruko started. Michiru had moved away to talk to Kari.
"No!" Sonoko snapped, "I mean no, it won't be good to take off I got a lot of work to do." She said when she saw Koruko's puzzled face. She looked around wearily, as if searching for someone.
"I...uh...was hoping to talk to Haruka." Sonoko started, "Is she in her office?"
"No," Koruko shook his head desperately, "Apparently she stayed out all night on Friday IN a park nonetheless and came down with a very bad infection. She's been sick all weekend."
"But it was raining on Friday." Michiru supplied who had overheard.
"Exactly!" Koruko said shaking his head again.
"So she's at the hospital?"
"No, at home."
"Alone?" Michiru looked troubled.
"Not really," Koruko said, "There is this girl, her family dovtor's daughter who said she would check in from time to time to make sure she is okay. Plus the maids are there."
"Maids, huh?" Mishiru asked steely, "Maids my foot. Do you have a spare key for her house here somewhere?"
"I..." Koruko started.
"Yes, he does." Sonoko replied who had once over heard Haruka telling him to use the spare key to drop the something at her house.
"So?" Koruko asked curiously.
"So Michi is gonna play nurse today." Sonoko replied.
"I don't think..."
"Please Koruko-san?" Michiru pleaded, "I promise I will take care of her, oh please?"
"Uh...Ok" he sighed, "But you don't tell her I gave it to you voluntarily."
"Nope, course not!" Sonoko said, "We'll tell her that we threatened to set you up with the big fat pimply girl from BK of you refused to give us the key."
"How imaginative." He mused at the bizzare story and left to get the key.
"Okay, good luck!" Sonoko told Michiru and ran off to god knew where in the office.

The maid gave Michiru a funny look.
"Never seen you before." She said.
"I am new." Michiru simply replied and moved into the kitchen.
"Now don't touch anything!" the maid followed.
"I won't ruin anything."
"And why are you here?"
"To see Haruka ofcourse." Michiru said cheerily.
"She's sick, no visitors."
"Ofcourse!" Michiur replied, "I am a caretaker."
"I wasn't informed..."
"It was short notice, now if you can please show me to her room I'd be absolutely delighted!" Michiru said hoping her smile looked acceptable. The maid reluctantly showed her to the room. In there was a blue haired girl moving swiftly and cleaning.
"Hi," Michiru called out to her so she won't get startled.
"Oh, hi." The girl looked up with puzzled eyes, "And you are...?"
"Kaiou Michiru, Koruko-san sent me to take care of Haruka."
"I see." Ami replied noticing the familiarity, "I am Mizuno Ami, just a friend. I was just about to leave for some work and I was just cleaning the room."
"That's good, but I will do it now if you don't mind," Michiru smiled pleasantly.
"Oh, ok good." Ami said relieved, "Well basically the maid will make the soup. The hard part is you have to feed it to Haruka and give her medicine every four hours. 1 pill. It's a drowsy one, so you will have a hard time feeding her. If her fever gets high just use cold cloths, I have left them on the side table and that all there is to it. And let some fresh air in, she hates the windows closed for too long. She will sleep mostly so you should have no problem keeping her entertained." With that Ami swiftly left muttering about the time.
"Nice," Michiru said admiring the room. No trophies, she noticed, and no sign of anything from the old racing days. She walked over to the sleeping Haruka and placed her hand on Haruka's forehead. Her skin was clamy and warm.
"I promise I will take good care of you." Michiru whsipered to the sleeping blond.
*************************************************************
Haruka remembered being fed. The fever had made her delirious. She didn't know who was feeding her. She also had nightmares, nightmares of sweating, then of cold places, and then again pf blankets piled up on her and making her choke and sweat.
Michiru had seen her moaning and at first didn't know what to do. Then gently she had ran her hands through Haruka's hair and talked her heart out of things that she should never be saying out loud.
To feed her she had to prop Haruka against the pillow and herself and then wake her gently. Half-awake Haruka drank the soup and ate the medicine. A couple of times she had gotten up to go to the bathroom but Michiru had hid herself, not wanting the blond to know she was near her at all.
Later on Michiru was holding Haruka's hand while sitting next to her on the bed. She decided to go and walk a bit around the house to strecth her legs when Haruka had started to murmur something.
"Please don't go." Haruka sleep talked in response to a dream, "Don't leave me again."
"Shush," Michiru had whispered leaning down and brushing her lips against a hot forehead, "I am not going anywhere, I promise." She had thought Haruka had looked more clamer after that.
