Ligice76 (Y.T): some people got the wrong perception of the way megumi was sleeping… err… actually, she sat on the floor beside Ryu… and her head was on the bed… hehe… This chapter will be a little short I think… don't blame me! THE TEACHERS DUMPED A PILE OF HOMEWORK ON US! GRRR…

Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be… (Neither is panadol)

------------Recap-:

After getting the water, the bubble-gum colored haired girl dipped a new cloth into the cool water and placed it on her master's head.

"Hope you get better tomorrow Master." She whispered as she lay to sleep beside the bed, head resting on her folded arms on top of Ryu.

…oOo…

"Hmm… Time to wake up… before the servants gather…" A mass of pink hair was lifted from the bed and flopped back down.

"Ow… my back hurts… why am I sitting on the floor?" The girl mumbled to herself, her head rising and falling on its own accord.

"Huh?" her head was on something warm, definitely not a pillow. Her left hand stretched sideways reaching up. She felt something soft upon her skin.

"Stop molesting my face." A stern cold voice from where her hand was. She could feel her 'pillow' vibrate as the thing talked.

"WHAT!" she shot up from the floor standing up she peered down. It took a while for the image to process in her head. MASTER AMAKUSA! Her head screamed as she ran to the bathroom.

"Errgh! My head!" Ryu pressed his palm onto his forehead and flopped back onto the bed.

…oOo…

I was sleeping on Master Amakusa's chest! HE WAS SHIRTLESS! WHAT THE----! EWW! The girl paced around the bathroom as the past night's events poured into her head. PLUOT! The prime words echoed into her head.

Megumi ran her hands under the tap; cool water flowed between her fingers. She cupped her hands and splashed the water on her face, she felt wonderful as the cool water flowed down her porcelain white skin.

Well I'd better apologize… Megumi wiped her face with the soft towel. And stepped out of the bathroom.

"Master… Its time to wake up and about just now I…" Hard breathing interrupted her. "Master Amakusa?" She walked over to the sleeping boy and felt his forehead.

"Your fever is getting higher!" She picked up the cloth lying on the bed, the cloth that was on his head before and went back into the bathroom with the basin at hand.

She came back in no time with basin full with cool clean water and the cloth soaking inside. She kneeled down beside the bed as she did the night before, wringing the cloth dry.

Megumi then placed the cloth onto Ryu's head and thermometer into his mouth.

"Beep… Beep…" the thermometer made noises after a while indicating that the temperature has been taken.

"WHAT! 38.9 DEGREES! THAT IS TOO HIGH!" The pink-haired girl panicked. "Minami would you SHUT UP!" Ryu was getting agitated by Minami's rants.

"Master Amakusa may I go down to the lobby store to buy some panadol for your fever?" Megumi gave a slight bow for permission.

"Wearing that?" Ryu cocked and eyebrow. "Is it wrong to wear this?" Megumi's head slanted a bit to her left.

"No shit Sherlock." He looked at her. "Okay! Fine! I agree with you for once." She peered down at herself and replied her maid's outfit was covered in dirt, grime, mud and to top it all off blood well at least Ryu's blood.

"Then what! I've got no proper clothes." Megumi replied disgusted that her Master's blood is on her. What did the receptionist think? Heh bloody and disgusting.

"Borrow my clothes and pass me some." Ryu took off the cloth off his head and placed it into the basin.

Ryu pushed himself up into a sitting position at the side of the bed, with the help of Megumi. Megumi walked over to the bundle lying on the floor where she dumped the day before. Those were the clothes that she prepared the day before in the closet.

"F-fine t-this is only once" Megumi flushed pink, not comfortable about wearing Ryu's clothes. She grabbed a set of clothes for herself and another set for Ryu.

The pink-haired maid passed Ryu the clothes as he pulled out the velvet box out from somewhere under his pillow.

"I've been meaning to ask, what is in that box?" Megumi sat the left of Ryu and looked over his shoulders ahem… his bare, broad shoulders.

"It is were I keep all my precious things." He pulled out a chain with a metal plate; on it had the word 'Ryu' beautifully carved out.

Ryu remembered his brother and his words once more and stared at the pendant with longing.

"Ryu remember what I said." his brother hugged little Ryu. "Here take this! I made it for you." Sakuke hung and small metal plate around Ryu's neck. "Thanks nii-chan!" Joy reflected in Ryu's round eyes.

Ryu slung the plate around his neck his hand rubbing the carvings. "Well there are also many other things in there." Ryu said memories of the times he and his brother spent together, the times they laughed, cried, hid from their father and slept together.

"Well this belonged to my mother." Ryu's onyx eyes peered at the beautiful ring slung on a chain of white gold.

The ring looked like it was made of glass and on the inside there was two tiny rose buds, a blue and a pink.

"This ring has a prophecy. Have you heard that for one person there are many destines, fates?" Ryu turned to ask the girl. Pink hair rose and fell as the girl nodded.

"A person has a destiny too many, in the end the plenty is no more and one is chosen. When the best comes as the rest fades that fate will be yours. Only when the best is chosen, the flowers will bloom for her and her partner. This was told to me by my mother." Ryu rubbed the ring's smooth surface.

"It never bloomed for my mom, or my dad I guess they were not fated to be." Ryu unclasped the hook of the chain and motioned for Megumi to turn around.

Megumi did what she was told to do and spun around. Not long after she saw Ryu's hands moving over her head and lowered to her shoulders. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOI-"

Megumi was cut off as she felt some thing cool around her neck. She raised her hand and felt the item; it was the ring!

"Why-" Megumi asked but she was cut off. "Thanks for saving me." Ryu said, his voice coming out in breathes.

"Aren't you supposed to be somewhere?" Ryu asked as he put on a fresh long sleeved shit and lay back down again.

"Oh well umm… I've got no money so…" Megumi twilled with her fingers as Ryu took some money out of the velvet box once again handing it to her.

"Thanks… Oh and I'm warning you, you better stay put and rest!" Megumi placed the towel once again onto Ryu's head.

…oOo…
