Day Three

They fell onto the bed together kissing deeply as their bodies pressed against one another. Kaidoh let out a nice little moan as a tongue found the entrance to his mouth. He pushed his own forward so both of their tongues touched ever so nicely.

"Inui-….senpai," breathed out Kaidoh as their mouths parted.

Inui's hand traveled down Kaidoh's body unbuttoning his pants as he went.

"Mmm, Kaidoh… Do you want me to give you everything?" he asked.
Kaidoh moaned loudly kissing Inui again to tell him yes…he wanted everything that Inui was able to give him.

"Alright, I'll take that as a yes love," said Inui.

Kaidoh smiled a little at the endearment and gasped as Inui touched him inside his pants…

"Inui-senpai…I love you," he whispered though his gasps and moans.

--

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Kaidoh rolled over and smashed his fist into the snooze button of his alarm clock before realizing that his covers and clothes were soaking wet… Shit.

He groaned out loud at the mess he created but the groan was more like a croak and it felt like needles and pins had sliced his throat open. Oh no… He didn't make any noise while he was having that dream was he? No…it wouldn't feel this bad to his throat just by making a couple of noises…

But first thing was first… To clean up this mess. Kaidoh shivered as he got out of bed feeling extremely cold, he went into the other part of his room and gathered up his covers and placed them at the bottom of his laundry basket. Along with his night clothes not to mention….he made note to wash those as soon as he got home from school.

Kaidoh changed into his Seigaku regular outfit and headed out for his morning run. Everything felt colder than usual and his legs could barely move. Trying to breathe hurt too. He didn't get through the run as he usually would. Everyone met at the tennis courts; and Kaidoh hoped nobody would notice that he felt crappy. But of course he was the first to see it… Inui could always tell when Kaidoh didn't feel well because he knew the boy's habits enough to know.

Darn it! Why did Inui-senpai have to know? Blush. This sucked.

"You look a little tired Kaidoh. I thought I told you to get some sleep last night," said Inui sitting down next to Kaidoh.

Kaidoh himself didn't want to speak because it worsen the situation. Inui would hear the crackle and pop in his voice…but he had no choice but to speak…

"I did sleep senpai...," he replied.

Inui even with his eyes hidden by his thickly framed glasses, looked surprised.

"Kaidoh…" he murmured under his breath.

"Everyone form a group over here please!" called out Oishi from court A.

Kaidoh only looked back once at Inui and said, "I'll be okay."

The tennis team members made their way over to Tezuka and Oishi who were explaining today's practice that consisted of the regulars playing eachother in preparation for the upcoming city tournament being held in a month down in Chiba. Inui glanced at Kaidoh again worriedly. He really sounded bad, what had happened to him? Kaidoh sounded just fine last night when they went out for dinner; if he was sick then the sore throat and maybe other things had hit him really fast. Poor Kaidoh he didn't get colds or even got sick often and yet he was trying to make it through the day like nothing was wrong with him.

Tezuka ordered everyone to do a ten lap warm up before they started their matches against eachother. Kaidoh wanted to groan, trying to breathe hurt and when he did his morning run it was hell trying to run. It felt like running in the winter but worse… Kaidoh even though he felt really crappy, he ran. And then started to feel really light headed at the fourth lap….he stumbled and all he remembered was hitting the ground and seeing black.

Everyone stopped to find Kaidoh on the ground unconscious. Inui's heart stopped beating those couple of seconds and pushed everyone away that was near Kaidoh. Ryuzaki-sensei came out from the clubroom looking annoyed.

"What is going on here!" she demanded.

Tezuka glanced over at her and simply replied, "Kaidoh fell and is unconscious."

"Inui you haven't been over-working him with training have you?" asked Ryuzaki.

Inui shook his head no, "Kaidoh was sick this morning when I met him here and he was trying to make it for the rest of the day obviously. If you don't mind Ryuzaki-sensei, I'd like to take care of him. It's only right as his senpai after all."

Ryuzaki thought about it for a moment and then nodded.

"Alright, I do think Kaidoh's family is gone from home and to work though, so-" she began.

"Sensei, I think its best if he stays at my place until he's better. It'll help not get his brother or the rest of the family sick. I'll call his family and tell him where he is. And for how fast his symptoms came on, I think there is a quite a good chance that we won't be back until Monday," suggested Inui.

"And you'll be taking care of him until then?"

"Yes," replied Inui picking Kaidoh up off the ground and into his arms.

"Alright, I'll allow it. Momoshiro and Fuji will take care of getting your homework for you both," said Ryuzaki.

"Thank you. If you don't mind I need to start heading home before he gets worse," Inui said and with that he walked out of the quiet courts.

Inui inwardly praised himself for riding his bike to school that morning. He didn't ride it often but was running a little late for school so he decided to ride his bike. In this situation, he just had to make sure that Kaidoh was on the bike and had his arms around Inui. Inui managed to get them to his house with their tennis bags as well. The problem was getting Kaidoh off the bike without both of them falling. Inui had to carry Kaidoh piggy back for it work. Well at least he hadn't woken up. It was really amazing he hadn't, but then again he was really sick.

They both made their way inside the dark apartment building that was only lit right now by natural lighting from outside. Inui carried Kaidoh to his room and laid the boy on his bed. Inui placed the covers over his body and watched Kaidoh squirm a bit in his sleep as he tried to get comfortable. Inui pulled back the curtains in the living room and kitchen and then went back to his room taking down some quick data on Kaidoh's current form in his notebook.

He decided he was going to have to go out and leave Kaidoh here for a while to get some medicine and some food for Kaidoh to eat that would be easy on his throat. Before he did that he protested with his mind on whether he should wait for Kaidoh to wake up before leaving or to go and get things done so when he was back Kaidoh would be up and probably ready to take his medicine.

Inui made his way into the bathroom and fished out the digital thermometer and then headed back to his room. He placed the digital object on Kaidoh's forehead and waited for it to beep. It took a minute or two and the temperature kept rising.

Ninety-nine point nine degrees. As Inui suspected his poor kouhai had a fever. He most definitely needed to get medicine as soon as possible. He made his way over to his desk and got out a pen and decided to write a note to Kaidoh just incase he woke up. He also placed the home phone beside the bed table just incase.

Inui made sure he had his cell phone with him and then looked back at Kaidoh's sleeping form. He still felt guilty for just leaving him here alone in the house; even if it was for just a couple minutes or so since the pharmacy was down the road from here. Inui decided to reassure himself and….he didn't know why he did it…it just might've comforted him from leaving the poor kid alone here; Inui leaned down and kissed Kaidoh's forehead gently, whispering in the sleeping boy's ear, "I won't be long. Stay in bed, I promise I'll be back soon."

Inui blushed madly at what he just did and made his way out of the room. He couldn't believe that he had just done that.

(A/N: We're half way through and I've been thinking about the ending. >> Much UST between those two in this ficcie. Not a lot enough to get you guys squeeing about some of it! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!)
