"Yuki, wake up. We have rehearsal today."
I groaned as the warmth disappeared. It sighed (yes very perceptive right?) and wrapped his arms around me again,
"Fine, just a few more minutes."
I snuggled into Blade's chest again (and no we didn't do that) I said something that got muffled by his chest. He pulled back a little,
"Huh?"
"I said thank you."
He nodded his head, "Let's hope everyone else isn't gonna be mad if we're late." I nodded softly before my eyes closed and fell asleep again.
"Good morning."
I said, walking into the kitchen. Everyone was perched on a stool and had a bowl or plate of something in front of them. I walked over to the stove and pulled out a pan,
"Omelet. I'm in the mood for a ham and cheese omelet."
And I proceeded to make one. The band watched me carefully as I sat down and started eating. I looked up with the fork in my mouth and tilted my head in question.
"Are you feeling better?" Nile asked hesitantly.
I nodded, swallowed my food, and then smiled,
"All better!"
Blade walked into the room shortly, his hair mussed and spiked everywhere, "Morning."
I stood up from my seat, "What would you like for breakfast?" I asked, offering him my seat. He sat down gratefully,
"Pancakes." He answered bluntly.
I bustled around while the band watched me. I hummed tunelessly to myself as I mixed the batter. I closed my eyes as I turned the stove on again and started placing batter on the pan. I finished shortly after and put it all on a plate.
I placed the plate carefully on the table, "All done! Enjoy!"
I perched on a nearby seat and placed my forehead against the cool table and closed my eyes again, still humming tunelessly.
"Is it just me or is she a bit…listless?" Stev whispered to his brother. Blade was silent as he ate his pancakes, still thinking.
"Yuki."
Everyone turned to watch Kuro put his arms around my waist and lift me out of my seat. He placed me back on the floor facing him before he sighed again and picked me up…again.
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
The band followed curiously as Kuro carried me back to my room and tucked me back into bed,
"You get some sleep. I'll get you some medicine later."
The rest took one look at my face before they understood. "Ah, maybe I should have gotten more blankets for you…" Blade said as he looked at me apologetically. I smiled softly, "No worries, I should have told you in the first place."
"How long?" Kuro asked.
"Long enough for it to not be contagious of course." I said sticking out my tongue.
"Are we skipping today?" Reese asked.
"Apparently." Stev answered. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I drifted off to sleep.
I awoke to the sound of voices.
I blinked, wait. One, two, three…there were more than six voices!
I climbed slowly out of bed and made my way to the stairs. I opened the door separating me from the rest of the house and walked down. I paused at the opening to the living room, hand pressed on the wall to help me keep my balance,
"What's…happening…?" I asked.
All activity froze. Everyone turned to look at me. I stiffened when I saw who was standing there. Besides my band mates the Hyotei team was there as well. I didn't have any more energy left, must have used most of it on the stairs.
"Ugh…"
My legs gave out and Chouta who was closest to me at the moment caught me,
"Yuki-chan!"
The familiar arms wrapped around me and a sense of peace settled on my body.
"W-Why…?" I asked in a whisper,
"I'm sorry…" Chouta whispered back. I nodded softly and let my head rest on his chest.
"How is she?" Someone asked. I felt a hand on my forehead, "It's gone down. She should be fine soon." I smiled softly as I drifted off again.
