Chapter 5: Sleep is Good…..
You put you hand to his forehead and feel that it is a little hotter than before. "Shigure Sohma you lay down right this minute before your fever gets any higher!"
Shigure chuckles and obeys you. You lay the cloth on his forehead and he falls asleep. You walk about the house cleaning up a bit and wake all three of the sick men up to feed them the cooled down soup and give them their medicine. After they are all asleep again and semi comfortable, you sit down in the corner nearest them and fall asleep with you knees drawn up to your chest. Two hours later this is how Hatori finds you. For a moment he just watches you sleep then he goes to his patients to check their fevers. Hearing Hatori move around, you wake up and stretch. You then get up and walk to him. "How are they?" you ask.
"Good. All the fevers are down. They should be all right." Hatori says.
"Good." you sigh and sit beside Hatori and lean on him. "I'm glad you're back." you say.
"Oh and why is that?" he asks.
"I was starting to feel very paranoid out here in the woods by myself." you reply sleepily. "And I missed you."
"Well there haven't been any disturbances in this part of the woods for quite some time now. In fact I think it has been two or three years." Hatori reassures and puts his arm around you. "And I missed you too."
"Ok that's good." you nuzzle into his shoulder and drift asleep. Hatori looks down at your sleeping face and smiles. He never thought he would feel this way ever again. He smiles even more and thinks "maybe there are such things as miracles."
Shigure stirs and opens his eyes. "Hi Hatori" he says rather loudly. "Oh" he quickly lowers his voice when he sees you sleeping. "Sorry, I didn't see her there." Shigure smiles looking at you and Hatori together.
"It's okay. She was asleep when I came in just now. Did she give you the medicine?" Hatori is now looking at Shigure.
"Yes." Shigure whines. "It was horrible tasting."
"So?" Hatori says. "Why should that bother you?"
"Haa-san you can be so mean sometimes." Shigure pouts.
"You didn't cause any trouble for Kanya did you?" Hatori looks at Shigure meaningfully.
"No of course not. You worry too much. I was asleep most of the time. But she did fix a wonderful soup for us." Shigure sits up. "I wonder where she learned to make it."
"Hnn" you look up still half asleep but say to Shigure. "You shouldn't sit up so soon. Your fever might come back." With that being said you close your eyes and go back to sleep.
"She seems very protective of sick people doesn't she." Shigure comments but he does lay back down.
"And you actually listen to her. Hmm maybe I need to keep her just to make you behave." Hatori grins.
"Haa-san you are very conniving." Shigure shakes his head then turns onto his side and goes to sleep.
Hatori looks around at all the sleeping people near him and smiles. He then picks you up and carries you to a low couch that happens to be nearby. He thinks to himself "Why she didn't just sleep here is beyond me. But then again a lot about her is beyond me." Hatori smiles and sits down beside the couch and falls asleep, exhausted from the long day.
