Chapter 3 : Soup

'You know what we need? Soup!!' Braniac 5

His teeth were vibrating in side his jaw as he held on tightly to Tsume. The engine of the motorcycle was rumbling beneath them, as Tsume whizzed through the traffic. With a judder the vehicle came to a stop, Toboe got off shakily. He unclamped his jaw an exclaimed. "That was great! Will you take me on it again?"

Tsume removed his helmet and replied "That was a one-time thing runt, I just did it to escape Blue's... Wrath..."

Toboe only grinned in return and continued with his hands behind his head.

"So how is Hige? You whipped me outta there so fast I didn't even get to see him! How did he get so beat up anyway?"

"Hige messed with McFoul...he was gonna get hurt..." Tsume replied as if stating a fact. He crossed his and continued.

"McFoul challenged him to a dare, a fight, on top of the garage roof.." Rolling his eyes Tsume scowled.

"You know Hige... That klutz he fell..."

Toboe laughed at this but Tsume reprimanded angrily "It's no laughing matter. Hige needs to stay in hospital for three months!"

Toboe gasped "So long? Blue will be mad!"

His face fell as Tsume began to put the helmet back on.

"Hey Tsume? You can stay can't you?" he asked hopefully.

"No way kid, not after what old man Quent did last time?"

With that Tsume revved up his motorcycle and began to drive away. He gestured with one hand a form of goodbye and was gone.

Toboe watched him go, until he turned a corner and was lost to sight. He then turned around and walked into the building.

"Pops... I'm home.." He announced.

Quent Yaden was sitting in front of the TV A bottle of beer in one hand, the remote in the other.

"Where were you? And where's Blue?"

"Oh... Blues at the hospital...Hige uh... Hurt his leg..." Toboe replied hurriedly.

Quent grunted "Damn well deserves it that boy" he turned back to his TV and Toboe escaped into the kitchen.

"Blueee!!" complained a bed ridden and disheveled Hige two days after being admitted to the hospital.

"Open wide!" Blue replied in a sing song voice that had a slight mocking edge. She held a spoon full of chicken soup in on hand, poised over Hige, ready to force feed the invalid.

"Blue! Stop!"

"No! I want to act as a nurse, besides its fun to annoy you and take advantage of your immobility!" She smiled mischievously.

"Now I said, open wide or do I have to force your mouth open?" indignantly Hige complied.

"This is embarrassing..." he complained, nettled.

"Well... It's supposed to be!! I'm punishing you!" Blue simply said , standing over his bed bowl and spoon in hand.

"You worried me so much, I have to punish you somehow..." she professed leaning forward unconsciously.

"Punishment! I want a reward... For being stuck in this boring place..." Hige scowled.

"Hmph" was the only reply he got.

Blue leaned over to administer another dose of soup when before she could protest or even react Hige had sat up and captured her lips.

The kiss was short but sweet... Even though Hige tasted like chicken soup ... (okay...ew...)

Blue pulled back and opened her eyes, the were a soft baby blue and for a moment Hige thought he had softened her up, as a light blush crept up her face.

But the next her eyes were ice once more.

"What was that?" she inquired politely with a hint of sarcasm.

"My reward..." he replied smugly

"Reward for what?"

"Well for being patient with your soup and-"

Blue had taken the opportunity of his open mouth to force another spoon in!

"This is not gonna help my leg get any better you know..."

"I know.." with that she shoved another spoon full in.Frowning, Hige swallowed and opened his mouth to complain.

"Hey-" He began, but was cut off once more as Blue bending over him, covered his mouth with hers.

She didn't care who saw them in the ward, she didn't notice a certain nurse glance at the pair and smile.When she was done, Hige wide eyed but pleased exclaimed " Does that mean I'm forgiven?"

She just stared back, the soup punishment wasn't working.

"Your impossible!" Blue sighed exasperated.

"And your sweet!" was his reply as he grinned.

All he got in return though was of course more chicken soup!

Lilly: Chapter 33333 wheee!!A few points to note, although this was a light chapter and quite funny I hope..it did have some dark elements... Which I hope you note. Another thing is that I'm sorry if Tsume was a lil' OOC but Tsume is a really hard character...and it's even harder to keep him in character... Specially with what I have planned for him...ahehehe

Ps

Laurry: I hope you enjoyed this short and sweet chapter - Lilly-Chan would like you to know that the next is round the same length but chapter five may take it's time in coming as it is absolutely HUGE!
