Chapter 3

Later that day she woke up in a unfamiliar bed, she made a little growling sound, she felt like shit.
Out of nowhere Dr. Umeda appeared next to the bed.

Mizuki woke up in a unfamiliar bed, at first she became a little afraid of the unfamiliar place, but when she looked around she knew at once where she was.
It was not the first time she was in this room; it was Dr. Umeda's office.
She was lying in one of the beds reserved for patients, instead of sitting on a chair talking to the doctor as she usually did.
'Why am I here?' she thought.
Well there was one reason, she did feel like shit.
But how had she ended up there, the last thing she remembered was walking in the hallway with Sano.
«I can see that you are finally up, you stupid girl.
I'm just wondering what your little brain was doing while you were out in the rain yesterday!»
She looked up at the doctor with shocking eyes 'how does he...'

«When Sano brought you in he told me that you came back soaking wet last night».
Mizuki looked guilty, but she did not give any reply.
«Well if you are not going to answer me yet I guess I can tell you that you are sick, but I guess you already can feel that»
He let his hand drop on her forehead so that he could check her fever.
«Well it looks like it has gone down a little».
Mizuki gave him an annoying look that said 'I'm just fine, I just need to be alone so I can sleep again'.
Even if she had slept for a couple of hours already she was still sleepy, so she took a hold of the blanket and started to pull it over her head ignoring the doctors mumbling words about 'the stupid girl'.
He took a hold of the blanket «Fine I'll go! Just take these pills before you go to sleep again, it will help your fever to go down»
He handed her a glass and a couple off pills.
Mizuki did not feel like arguing because she felt so tired so she took the glass and swallowed the pills.
After only a few seconds she was in her own dream world.

After Sano had taken Mizuki to the doctor office he went to class, not that he wanted to but because the doctor had made him go.
'Thank god Nakatsu has football practise right now' the football team had the day off because they were going to have a match the next day.
As the school day went by Sano had almost not done anything besides thinking about Mizuki.
Even if the doctor had told him that it was just a fever he was still worried.
He was angry with Mizuki for beeing out so late the night before, but on the other hand he was worried about the girl, he hoped that nothing serious had happened to her.

When the school bell finally rang, he got up and collected his stuff before he walked as fast as he could to the doctor's office.
There he found Mizuki still in bed sleeping.
Since he was afraid to wake the girl up, he tried to be as quiet as he could.
He decided to check her fever so he let his hand fall softly on her forehead, he could still feel a trace of the fever but she looked better.
He let his fingers travel down from her forehead to her chin where his fingers stroke her chin carefully.
As he did this he looked down at Mizuki's face.
Her lips former quietly in her sleep the word 'Shin..' as a tear started to roll down her chin.
Sano's fingers stopped at once he heard the name, his eyes became bigger.
'Why are Mizuki muttering my brothers name in sleep, what happened between Shin and Mizuki that made her cry, and when did they meet?' Sano looked at Mizuki again.
He was getting to the bottom of this even if it was the last ting he did.
He let his eyes travel around the room, his eyes fell on the clock, 'But before I can do that, I have to go to practice'.
Sano grabbed his stuff and went quietly out of the room, closing the door and started running as fast as he could.
He hoped he would not be yelled by the coach for being late.

When Sano finally arrived where they was going to practice, he noticed that there was a lot more students then there was originally on the high jumping team.
As he looked at the newcomers he could not recognize any of them, except one.
As he saw that person he walked towards him.
«Why are you here?» he asked his brother.
Shin turned around so he could see who had talked to him.
As he saw his brother standing behind him he could not help to smile, it had been such a long time sice he had see his big brother.
«We are going to be in the same contest as you guys and our coaches thought it was a good idea for us to practice together.»
Sano looked at Shin with a surprised look.
'This is news to me, oh well, I wonder if Shin has gotten any better at high jumping, ahh I just have to wait and see'.
«So how's everything» Sano asked his brother, the two of them started a conversation between themselves while they were waiting for practice to begin.
After a little while one of Sano's team-mates came over to where they were standing.
«How is Mizuki feeling?» the newcomer asked Sano when he came to where they were standing.
'Oh, I had almost forgotten about her' Sano thought, 'what a bad friend I am.'

At Mizuki's name Shin felt a pang of gilt.
«I'm not sure, he is still sleeping in the doctor office.» he heard his brother replying.
'What? The doctors office, why was he there, if anybody had messed with Mizuki he would kill that person'.
Shin wanted to know what had happened with Mizuki, he had to know.
He sharpened his ears so he could hear the response from his brother, but when his brother was not replying at once he became more and more worried.

When Sano heard the question he finally started to think about Mizuki again.
Then he got a mental picture of Mizuki in the doctor office crying in her sleep while muttering Shins name.
He turned so that he could look at his brother, 'I wonder what he did to her' he thought angrily.
'I do not care it he's my little brother, as long as I can help it no one will never hurt Mizuki'.
When he looked at his brother's eyes he was almost shocked by all of the emotions he could read in his brothers eyes.
«So how is he?» The other person asked again, making Sano look at him instead of his brother.
When he was going to give him a reply he suddenly felt two arms gripping the collar of his shirt and he looked straight into his brothers face that was only a couple of inches from his.
«What happened to him?» Shin started to shake his brother when he was not given an answer at once.

«What is it to you, it's not like you have ever cared about Mizuki before, so why now?»
Sano was no sure he wanted Shin to know about Mizuki; hell he did not know much about the situation himself.
And he wanted to ask Shin if he knew something about yesterday, if he had something to do with why Mizuki had been out in the rain...

When Shin heard his brother's reply he let go of the older boy's collar and took a step back.
Before Sano could decide what to tell Shin, his brother had turned to the other person standing next to them looking for the answer.
When the third person could see the look in Shins eyes.
(A.N if looks could kill ).
«I, I...He, eh, yesterday, he...» the other boy muttered.
«He passed out while we were walking to class earlier today.
He heard the answer from his left, Shin turned so he could look at his brother again.
«Is he okay, and why the hell are you here if he is there?
Aren't you guys almost always together!»
Shin was pissed off; he let his face turn down while trying to calm himself.

Right after Shin had turned to face hit brother; in the background we could see a person walking carefully away while trying not to be noticed.

«He only has an fever, the doctor said he'll be fine after some rest» Sano said while trying to reassure the younger boy, even if it did not look like his brother could hear him.

When Sano could see that his brother was still just standing there looking at the grown, he thought of something.
'I'm still wondering if he had something to do with yesterday, let's see if I can get a response out of him'.
Sano did what he thought would give him an respond if he had something to do with why Mizuki now was sick, he started to talk a little about what had happened yesterday.
How Mizuki had not been there when he came back from practice, and that she had been away almost the whole day.
When he came to the part where Mizuki had came back soaking wet, he finally go a respond from the other boy.
«He wasn't there because he had made you some lunch, but you were nowhere to be seen, so he went for an picnic in the park.
You idiot!»
Sano was shocked by the angry words Shin had yelled at him.
'Mizuki had made me lunch?
Wait an minute, why does Shin know about this?'
When Sano was going to ask his brother how he knew about it, he heard a flute.
«Everyone start running, practice is beginning» one of the coaches yelled.
Sano could not do anything but to start running, but he could not let the words Shin had yelled at him out of his mind.
As he was running his eyes never left his brother, it almost looked like Shin was in another place, somewhere deep in his thoughts.
As the practice went by, Sano had to let all of his thoughts go as the practice became more and more tiring, but he did keep an eye on what Shin was doing.
It was his brothers turn to jump, but honest his brother was doing weary poorly when it came to high jumping.
'If he cant do anything better than that it will be an easy win' Sano thought, but then it was his turn to jump and he had to let the thought go away again.

When the practice was over and Sano remembered the question again, Shin and the rest of his class was already gone.
Sano couldn't do anything about it so he packed his things together and went back to the dorm.
He entered his and Mizuki's room after a couple of minutes, and there was the girl.
She was sitting by the desk doing some homework.

When Mizuki heard the door opening she turned around to see Sano standing there looking at her with an worried look.
«Shouldn't you be in bed?» he asked her with a caring voice.
«Nope, Dr. Umeda said I was well enough to be up, I only have to take it easy for a little while».
She looked at the homework she was doing.
«Oh, and thank you for the notes, they are helping me a lot.»
She gave him a smile, then she turned around again to work with the homework.
« Well since I full of sweat I'm going to take a shower» Sano turned around and walked into the bathroom.

When Sano was finished with the shower and came into the room again, Mizuki was still sitting by the desk doing homework.
Sano just stood there looking at the girl, wondering what had happened.
Well there was only one way to find out.
«So, I heard you made me lunch yesterday» he said.
Mizuki turned around so she could look at him.
«Who told you that?» she asked him curiously while giving him a smile.
Sano looked at the girl, 'well if my brother had something to do with it, now I'll know'.
He took a quietly breath and said one word.
«Shin» At that one word and he could see Mizuki's smile fall and she froze.

'Well that was something, now I just have to know what happened'.
«So you met my brother yesterday, what did you do?».
The girl did not look at him as she answered «I made you lunch yesterday but then I could not find you, I met Shin and we had lunch together, thats all.»
She turned her back to Sano and began working again, ignoring when Sano tried to ask her other questions.
If Sano had studied the girl he would had seen that she was not working at all, she was just sitting there in her own world filled with thoughts of a younger boy, while drawing broken hearts all over her homework.

The next day Sano tried to talk to Mizuki again, but she ignored him every time he asked her.
After a while Sano finally found out that Mizuki was not going to tell him anything about what had happened.
Unfortunately for Sano he and the high jumping team had no practices with the other team anymore, that meant that Sano could not ask Shin about Mizuki.
