The door was just kicked in when you slipped into complete silence and darkness... You woke up in bed with a moist towel on your head and a head ache like you wouldn't believe. You groaned and touched your head. It was wet with persperation. You blink, your eyes a bit sensitive of light, and look around the room. No one was in it, you sat up, your head was a little spinny, and tried to step out of bed. You felt achy. You palms were sweaty but cold and your back, shoulders and neck hurt. You proceded down the stairs and it felt like you were floating, so much infact you almost fell. You stepped on the cold floor and stood for a minute, almost in a daze with only the headache to keep you from falling. "Kiora, what are you doing out of bed?" You could hear your master's voice but you couldn't really feel anything about it. You didn't feel scared, happy, sad, angry, or anything else when hearing the voice. You just heard it. You turn your face toward him and you were unable to change your blank face. You turned completely toward him and just stood there, like there wasn't anything else you could do. You felt really dizzy with a throbbing headache. You stepped forward to keep your balance, and then another step, and another, you couldn't find your balance. You fell forward, fallin on a hard chest. Arm encircled you and lifted you off the floor. When you felt skin on skin you realized that you weren't wearing any clothes. O well, the voice in your mind said. Hiei laid you on the bed again. "Stay here this time." He said with a somewhat angry tone. "I'm sorry, Master." You squeaked. Your throat hurt and made your voice raspy. "For what?" He held a thermometer infront of you and you opened your mouth obidiently. "F'r causin' trouble." You slurred suddenly sleepy. "Hn." He resoaked the cloth, ringed it out and set it on your head. He brushed hair off your cheek softly. You were a bit surprised when he stroked your cheek with his finers even though you didn't show it. You leaned into the caress. It felt good to have someone to take care of you. There was a beep and the thermometer was pulled from under your tongue. "101.4. You have a fever, Kitten. You need to rest. I was making lunch downstairs. How does soup sound?" He asked abruptly kind. "Sounds great, master." You slurred. He laughed and bent down, giving you a peck to the nose. You blush red and hid under the covers. He laughed and patted your head through the blanket then left. You were alittle disappointed that he left but you got over it and sat up. He came back with soup in no time. It sounded really good right about now. You take the bowl from his hands and set it on you lap. You didn't cover up because he's already seen you before, what's to hide? You sip the soup and then hear a door open and shut. Hiei gets up with his soup and locks the door and sits down again, still sipping his soup. You laugh at your master and he gives you a playful grin. You loved your master when you are alone with him. He's more emotional. You both set your bowls on the table next to the bed and sit for a while. "So... you decided to break the silence why did I faint?" "You have the flu. It's nothing really. It might have cause fainting from the stress of moving fro place to place." You shrugged, it sounded reasonable. Started to scoot back under your covers when your master got up to leave. "Master..." He stopped just as he unlocked to door. "Come lay with me?" He let some air out of his nose but complied anyways. He toed off his boots and crawled in the covers with you. "I can't stay long, I have to get medicine." You nuzzle against him as he was propped up by one arm while trying to fix the covers. He lowered himself onto the bed and placed a hand on your hip. You curled against him, loving the loving warmth he gave off. He was a bit warm from drinking the soup and that made his scent glands practically ooze the savory musk. The hand on your hip caressed your thigh and back up the same path and passing your hip up to your shoulder then turning to trace the top of your arm. You mewled and squirmed alittle at the tickle it gave. You heard a soft laugh and warm come to the top of your head. Your master adorned a small kiss to the top of your head. You hugged his body and rubbed your cheek against his chest. You got a small pinch on your butt and your master said softly, "Get to sleep." He said it in a way that made him like a master but a kind one. His hand left your rear and rested on the small of your back. You soon feel asleep, once again in your master's arms. sorry it was short but i have to go to detroit. I might make another one there, I'm not sure.
