*Konatsu Warren*

My eyes flickered open and I coughed, covering my mouth with my hand. I didnt feel well, but that didnt matter. I had already missed a day and a half of work within the last two weeks so I couldnt afford to take anymore time off. I pulled myself from my bed and changed from my pajama's into my military uniform and once I had secured my swords to my belt I headed out to wake Hyuuga up.

*Ayanami*

I continued to fill out my paperwork then glanced at the clock again. Konatsu and Hyuuga were late, not that Hyuuga being late was odd... It was just that Konatsu was never late. They then walked in together and the first thing I realized was how pale Konatsu was, and how the bright red color of his cheeks stood out greatly against his pale skin. He looked sick.

"Konatsu! You need to go back to bed!" Hyuuga exclaimed, attempting to grab the boy who dodged away from Hyuuga and ran towards his desk.

"No! I need to do work!" He retorted, grabbing onto the edge of his desk as Hyuuga grabbed him by the ankles and attempted to pull him away. After a minute Hyuuga released Konatsu who sighed and stood up straight. Kuroyuri then ran over to Konatsu.

"You dont look well Konatsu, you should go back to bed."

"Thank you for your concern, but im fine, Kuroyuri-Sama." Konatsu replied politely.

"I agree with Kuroyuri-Sama, you look pale Konatsu."

"Im fine, Haruse." He stated with a huff, a little bit of irritation beggining to form on his face. Katsuragi then joined them.

"I do have to agree with them, you have to remember that you are only human Konatsu, so you cant overwork yourself like Ayanami-Sama and I do." Konatsu's eyebrow twitched.

"Even you Katsuragi!? NOW LISTEN I DONT NEED TO GO BACK TO BED! IM FINE! IT'S JUST A LITTLE COLD!" Konatsu sighed and turned away from everyone. He went to walk towards his desk and we all gasped as he feel back, and was caught by Hyuuga. I stood from my seat and walked over as Hyuuga dropped carefully to his knees, holding Konatsu. I kneeled down beside him then pulled off one glove with my teeth and discarded it on the ground, resting my now bare hand against Konatsu's forehead.

"He's burning up. Take him back to his room, Hyuuga." Hyuuga nodded then picked Konatsu up bridal style and carried him away to his room. Everyone else followed and once I had retreived my glove, and tucked it in my pocket, I did as well. When I got into Konatsu's room I saw that Hyuuga had discarded his jacket and swords beside the bed along with his boots and was tucking the blankets around his carefully. Hyuuga looked more than a little worried for his begleiter. "Katsuragi, I need a thermometer." He nodded.

"I'll go find one, Ayanami-Sama." Katsuragi returned a few minutes later with a themometer which I took from him, I put the themometer in Konatsu's mouth and waited a few minutes before taking it back. His temperature was at 102, which wasnt good.

"Hey, Aya-Tan, isnt there a point where if a human gets too warm they can die?" Asked Hyuuga worriedly.

"Yes, starting at 104 degrees, Konatsu is currently at 102." Hyuuga gasped then grabbed me by the shoulders and shook me.

"WHAT DO WE DO AYA-TAN!? KONATSU'S GOING TO DIE!" I pushed Hyuuga off me and he started whining as tears poured down his face.

"What Konatsu's going to die...?" Asked Kuroyuri sniffling he then burst into tears while Haruse comforted him.

"No one is going to die today so just relax. Konatsu will be fine, we just need to get him some medicine and..."

"KONATSU'S GOING TO DIE!" I let out a huff of frustration.

"Whose going to die?" Asked Konatsu weakly and we all looked at him. He tried to sit up but the glare I gave him caused him to sink down into his bed. "Ayanami-Sama, I cant stay here in bed, I have work to do and..." He trailed off. "I dont want to be a burden to everyone."

"I swear that if you try to get out of your bed and do work I will kill you." He gasped.

"But that's not fair Ayanami-Sama!" Konatsu went to sit up but I pushed him back down.

"I dont care if it is fair or not. Now you are going to take something to help your fever then go to bed, do I make myself clear?" Konatsu sighed.

"Yes, inescapably clear, Ayanami-Sama." He stated with a sigh. We would have to find something to make his fever go down. I glanced back at the young blonde as he lay in his bed, his eyes flickering closed, the blush on his face continuing to get brighter and brighter. It was then that the answer came to me.

*FLASHBACK*

I walked with Kreuz to the garden to get some herbs to help cure Krom's fever.

"Kreuz-Onii-Chan, do you think Krom-Onii-Chan will be alright?" I asked earning a smile and nod from my brother.

"Yes, luckily I have a little remedy that always works for colds and flu's. Krom taught me how to make it, so dont you worry Krowell." I nodded. He then stopped and grabbed some herbs straight from the garden. "Okay got that and the catnip now I just need... Feverfew." He grabbed one more herb and the two of us headed inside. Once we were inside Kreuz led me to the kitchen.

"What are we doing here?" I asked curiously.

"I just need to mash all the herbs together now." I nodded and sat down, watching as Kreuz cleaned the herbs, he then cut them up and put them all in a bowl with what looked like oil. "Alright now come here, I'll show you how to make the remedy too Krowell." I nodded and walked over to my brother as he sat down in a chair. I then watched as he mashed all the herbs together.

"So what herbs did you put in there?" I asked.

"Basil, Feverfew, Catnip, Castor oil, Boneset, Black Pepper, Lemon Balm and Cilantro." I smiled.

"That's a lot of herbs."

"Yeah but all the herbs and the Castor Oil put together help cure colds and flu's fast." I nodded.

"Okay, I'll remember that."

*END OF FLASHBACK*

"Katsuragi, I need Basil, Boneset, Lemon Balm, Cilantro, Feverfew, Catnip, Black Pepper and Castor Oil." Everyone tilted their heads. "They need to be fresh, all the leaves need to be chopped and cleaned and I need them in a bowl with two tea spoons of Castor Oil." He sighed.

"Very well Ayanami-Sama, I will be back."

"Hey Aya-Tan, what are you going to do with all those herbs?" Asked Hyuuga quizically.

"Get rid of Konatsu's cold."

"And tell me, where did you learn how to do this?"

"That is none of your concern Hyuuga." I stated coldly and he sighed.

"Your so mean to me Aya-Tan."

"Die." He sighed again.

"Not nice Aya-Tan."

"Seeing you beat on Hyuuga would make me feel a bit better Ayanami-Sama." I smirked at Konatsu's words and Hyuuga recoiled slightly. He then ran for the door and I easily caught him. That was when Katsuragi walked in and we all stopped and looked at him.

"I um... brought the herbs..." He glanced at Hyuuga who was struggling against my hand which was knotted into the back of his jacket. "But if your busy... I can just leave it here and go and finish all of our work." I released Hyuuga and he bolted out the door and I held out my hand for the bowl of herbs which Katsuragi handed to me without a moments hesitation.

"All of you can go." The three remaining Black Hawks nodded and exited the room, closing the door behind them. I then put the bowl of herbs down on the nightstand and took off my jacket, draping it over the back of the chair so I wouldnt get it dirty. I then slid down onto the chair and grabbed the bowl of herbs.

"You really dont need to the trouble of making a remedy for me, Ayanami-Sama." I glanced at the boy and I saw a slightly sad look on his face. He didnt like feeling like he was being a burden to the Black Hawks.

"It's not really troublesome." I stated as I began to mix the herbs. "Beside I wouldnt just not do anything, the life's of members of the Black Hawks are not disposable." He nodded.

"If you say so, Ayanami-Sama."After a little while I finished mixing the herbs and just as I set the bowl down Hyuuga walked in.

"How is it going Aya-Tan?" He asked.

"Fine, now Hyuuga go get Konatsu a glass of water." He nodded and came back a minute later with a glass of water that he put on the side table. I then handed the bowl with the mashed up herbs to Konatsu. "Eat that." He whined.

"But it looks wierd Ayanami-Sama."

"Eat it or die." He gasped then nodded. He then ate a little bit of the paste like substance and blinked in surprise.

"Hey, this actually tastes good. Way better than buckleys. He then proceeded to eating the rest of the bowls contents and sighed as he took a drink of water. "Hey, im already starting to feel a bit better."

"Wow! It works tht fast Aya-Tan?" Asked Hyuuga.

"Yes, all the herbs in there work to clear up congestion, get rid of stomach aches and fevers, calm the body and also to boost the person's immune system, and some things are in there just to make it taste better."

"Wow, im amazed you knew how to make something like that Aya-Tan." I let out a sigh and Hyuuga tilted his head. I then stood and slid my jacket on then did it up and sighed as I ajusted the neck slightly.

"Watch Konatsu until his fever goes down, Hyuuga." He sighed and nodded.

"Alright, bye Aya-Tan." I walked to the door.

"Wait!" I looked back at Konatsu. "Thank you, Ayanami-Sama!" I turned back to the door and walked from the room glancing at Hyuuga as he spoke exitedly to Konatsu. Well at least Kreuz had taught me one thing that was useful, and it wasnt how to make medical remedies. It was that Warsfeil truly were stupid and had no idea about anything when it came to humans.

*MEANWHILE AT BARSBURG CHUCH*

"NO! I CANT REMEMBER ALL OF THIS! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE! YOU ARE THE WORST FIANCE EVER XING-LU!" I yelled as I flopped my head down onto volume 33 of the Barsburg Bible. Castor smiled and kissed my forehead.

"I love you too, Cordelia."

"Im pretty sure she said she hates you, not that she loves you Castor."

"I know that, it's called a joke Frau. You know you should really get a sense of humor."

"I HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR YOU JERK!"

"Really? I do seriously doubt that. I mean you must not because up until this point I was under the impression that you lacked a sense of humor the same way that you lack a brain."

"WHY YOU LITTLE...! IM GOING TO KILL YOU CASTOR!" I looked up and watched as Frau chased Castor around the library. This... Was a normal day in Barsburg Church... Believe it or not.

"Wait a second guys..." Castor and Frau both looked at me. "Where is Labrador?" We all looked around. We then all ran from the library and started searching for him. That was when I saw him in a tree and just as I went to run over and wake him up he fell right out of the tree and into the fountain with a loud splash. He then surfaced and spit water then looked around for his hat. Castor, Frau and I laughed and the sleepy and confused bishop in the fountain.

"Castor, I cant find my hat." He stated sadly. Lazette then popped up beside him with his hat on and she turned her face into Labrador's and smiled. He smiled too as she handed him the hat which he slid back onto his head. The small bishop then pulled himself from the fountain and sighed.

"You should probably remind yourself to not sleep over the fountain any more, huh Labrador?" he nodded and smiled.

"Probably, huh?"

Yes... This was a normal day... In Barsburg Church... The place that I thought of as my new home.
