Chapter 3:

Akira opened the door and fell in. she closed the door quietly. She fell on the floor and tried to pull herself to support on the wall. She could feel herself breathing heavily, and sweating. Her head felt hot and was dizzy. She picked herself up and tried to walk to her bed. She hears her roommate sleep peacefully, and tried her best to make no noise. She swayed side to side and wrinkled her eyes, trying to figure out where she was going. Her face was red and her cloths were wet from the rain. She continued to her bed and when she got there she dropped onto her bed with a THUMP. She moved her head so her face was facing the curtains that separated her roommate and her. Her face was hot and she wanted to puke. She had no energy to change. She tried getting up but it was no use. She soon gave up and just closed her eyes; before she knew it she was asleep.

The light from the sun entered the room through the seeps of space from the uncovered parts of the window. The light shined on the sleeping boy who soon realized the morning was here. He yawned and stretched. He got up and stretched again. His eyes where closed unwilling to open. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the curtains. I wonder if Akira is still sleeping. He got up and walked towards the curtains and pulled it up.

"Akira -kun… its morning," he came to pause. He was no longer tired or sleeping but very surprised at what he saw. His roommate was wet and in a tee- shirt and her face was red like a tomato. He hurried over. "Akira – kun, what happen are you ok," he said frantically to the sleeping girl who was waking up, breathing heavily (still.) He held her up and felt her fore head. It was burning up. She moaned and fidgets around, finally opening her eyes. She opened her eyes in pain as if she was being forced to.

"Takumi?" she muttered, swallowing her saliva as she tried to speak. Takumi could tell it hurt a lot to talk.

"It's ok just sleep for now, I'll go get some warm water and some towels so you can dry yourself," he whispered to her and let her down to lie on the bed. He rushed to the bathroom and filled a little bucket with hot water and got a couple of towels and a washcloth. When the hot water was done, he brought the towels first. When he got back he saw Akira trying to get up herself with much pain. He put the towels on her bed and helped her up. She was breathing severely. Takumi sat next to her and held her up so she was leaning on him. He grabbed the towels and started to wipe her face gently. He could feel her shaking as he was trying to reduce the water on her. When he finishes with her face and her hands, he laid her down and tried to soak most of the water out from her clothing. But most of the water was either already on her bed or mix and soaked with her sweat. This is not working she keeps on shaking and she's so cold. He went back to the bathroom bringing back the towels and this time bringing the warm water and the washcloth. He places the bucket beside the bed. He dips the washcloth in the bucket and wrings it. He puts it on her head. "One more wash-cloth," he said to himself, or at least he thought he did. The girl in flushed red cheeks grabbed the edge of his shirt and tugged on it.

"It's ok," she said slowly. "Go to school," she said trying to catch her breath again. She closed her eyes and breathed.

"It's not ok, I can't just leave you here," the boy said with a bit of anger, and concern. "I can-,"

"Shut up and just go!" Akira said trying her best to be loud. It made her cough. Takumi bend down and held her up. She inhales, and exhales. She looks at him and gave a faint smile with her eyes closed trying to talk. "Don't worry, I promise I'm not going to do anything reckless, so just go," she says trying to lay back down. Takumi looked at her with worry. Akira opened her eyes and saw that he was troubled. "Also get me some medicine on your way home," she said quietly, this time dozing of. He let out a small laugh and got ready to go out.

"Takumi, where's Akira?" His sister asked when she saw him walking alone. He frowned.

"She sick," he said sounding as if he was the one who was sick. That caught Mai and it surprised her. She looked up and thought.

"But yesterday she seemed fine," she said curiously.

"That's what I don't understand either. We went back to the dorm and she went out for a walk. When I woke up this morning she was wet and sick," he said, thinking back of his roommate.

"It probably has to do with when she left to go out for a walk," she said thinking about it. She looked at Takumi, and he looked as if he didn't hear her and he was just thinking about his own thing. She smiled. "Schools going to end in thirty minutes, why don't you go back?"

"I can't do that," he exclaimed. "Besides the only reason I went to school today because she told me to," he mumbled. Mai pat his shoulder and smiled.

"You did go to school, beside its only a little while before it ends," she said, she could see her brother thinking about the idea. "I'll tell your teacher about it, don't worry," she said, and finally he agreed.

"Thanks, then I'm going to go first and buy so medicine," he said and ran. Mai smiled and walked back to the classroom.

She slowly opens her eyes. She rolled to the side of her bed. She was shaking from the cold sweat and water that was on her body and left from her clothing. She tried to breath, but when she did she coughed. She kept on sniffing her nose. She scrunched her body together, trying to get as much warmth as she could. It's no use; it's still so cold. She tried to get her self into sitting position. Her head swayed side to side and when she was up, she pushed her collapsing self away from the wall. She put her other hand on her forehead.

"Man it hurt so damn much," she whispered with pain, her eyes crumple together. She opened her eyes and got up. But when she started walking, she had no support and her head kept on spinning. She couldn't see where she was going, but she was walking. Before she knew it, she hit the wall. She pushed herself off the wall, and tried to see where she was. She was close to the bathroom. Just a couple more steps. She continued to walk, this time making it safely to the bathroom. But she was shaking even more. She was getting colder. She went in to turn on the faucet, hot water. She waited, shaking and sniffing while she did. When most of the hot water had filled the tub, she closed it and turned on the cold water, this was it wont be too hot. When it had fully filled the tube, she quickly undressed and went in. it was hot, but she sighed in relief.

"This is much better in clod sweat and freezing," she whispered. Despite the warmth she was feeling, her head was still spinning. The hot water made her head throb, even more then before. That forced her to close her eyes in pain. She gasped and swallowed her saliva. She sinks her head in and quickly came out. It was no help, it made her head sting for a little and then it throbbed even more. She tried breathing slowly but it made her throat hurt. Then she gave up and just sat there trying to forget about her head, soon after that she fell asleep.

"I wonder if she's still sleeping," Takumi muttered as he enters his dorm. He walks in quietly incase Akira was still sleeping. He put the medicine on the table and opened the curtains. Buts she wasn't there. He quickly went over to the bed. What surprised him more was that there were stains of blood on the bottom of the bed. He trembled with fear. "Akira-kun, where are you?" he said loudly, his voice and little quivery. He checked every room frantically. Lastly he tried opening the bathroom. It was locked. He pulled it and turned it. "Akira, are you in there." There was no answer. He tried pulling on the doorknob some more. This time he could hear moaning noises. He pulled and turned and pounded on the door, and it was finally forced open. He saw a sleeping girl in a filled tub. He was still shaking trying to catch his breath. Her face was flushed red and she was panting heavily. She slowly but agonizingly, opened her eyes. Before she could fully adjust, and comprehend what she saw, Takumi was right next to her. She was confused.

"Takumi, what are you doing, I'm…" she stopped as she felt his hand shiver, his hands where on her shoulder, his head where on the side of her shoulder. He bites his lips swallowing and taking deep breaths. He smiled a forceful smile, looking up at her.

"I'm so glad your ok," he said breathing deeply, scared, and shivering. But he was also relief, relief that she was ok. She gasped for air slowly, soon realizing how worried she made him. She closed her eyes and sighed. She opened them and smiled.

"Don't worry I'm fine, I just wanted to get the sweat and water off 'cause it was making me cold," she said quietly and slowly. The boy looked at her more clam and relaxed. "Now can you go out," she said, looking down, blushing. He was surprised at first, but he soon realizes that she was still in the tub. He quickly gets up and goes out.

"I'm going to make some food," he said quickly, closing the door behind her. Before he closed it completely, he looked at her. Then he turned around. "I'm really glad your ok."

"She's still in the bathroom?" he said to himself. It's been a really long time now. He looked down at the porridge he finishing making about thirty minutes ago. His elbow was on the table and his hand on his check. "What's taking her so long," he said getting up going to the bathroom. He knocked on the door. "Akira-kun, are you ok?"

"Y-yea," she stuttered. She was feeling much better. She tried to bend down to pick up her clothing, but her head felt heavily doing so. She fell towards the wall and used it to balance herself. Takumi being worried came in. when he did he saw the collapsing girl and hurried over to help her.

"What happen?" he asked helping her up.

"Nothing," She said waving her hand. "My head just became a little heavy when I tried bending down," she said as she tried to adjust her vision, from her spinning head. Takumi sighed.

"I'll help you get you stuff, so lets go outside first," he said bringing her out. She blushed with embarrassment, and causing him trouble. When she sat down out side in back of the table she looked at the food. "Akira –kun the food might be a little cold," he said going back to the bathroom to get her things. It was warm. She took a bite and it made her feel warm too, she smiled. "And eat the medicine when your done," he called out.

He took her shirt and flung it, trying to get any water on it out. He put laid it out on his arm and did the same thing to her pants. When he did that, a piece of paper fell out. He looked at it with question and picked it up. He opened it and read it. "Dear Akira…" he said to himself. His eyes widen. What?
