The door closed with a loud thud, which made Natsuki twitch. She exhaled slowly and it was only then that she showed how exhausted her body had still been. With a weary expression she sank back into her pillow and looked with dark-circled eyes to the ceiling. "You shouldn't have acted up that much. Your body will never fully recover if you keep putting it under such strain!" Konan said strictly as she quickly moved next to Natsuki. She put her hand on her forehead and made an annoyed sound. A fever would be another strain on the already weakened body of her best friend. "No more visitior, who yell or agitate you in any possible way. In fact, you shouldn't have any more visitors at all!" Immediately the young woman protested "You can't do that! I can't just lie here without anything to do or to talk to! Please, Konan!" Konan sighed. "You know I wouldn't do that. Just promise to keep calm. The faster you recover the better. And the faster you can yell, shout, discuss and get into fights again." Natsuki nodded, smiling. Then she sank into her pillow and in a matter of seconds she was asleep. Natsuki, being too exhausted, hadn't noticed Hidan's silent presence. He had sat down on a chair next to her desk and simply had watched the two women. "If you want to stay here you'll have to swear on Jashin that you won't annoy her or anything like that!" Konan said coldly. Of course she had noticed the attraction between those two. She had seen the look in Natsuki's eyes and Hidan's changed behavior. Natsuki did deserve somebody who would adore her. While Hidan needed somebody who wouldn't have a problem with his temperament, his quickly changing moods, as well as with his swearing and his religion. And Natsuki was perfectly fit for that. Though she didn't like to have fights with the people she liked, she still clearly stated her opinion. Konan sighed. "What the hell was that for?" Hidan asked looking at her confused. His old self was on its way back to the surface, after some days of being someone completely different, thanks to Natsuki's state. Konan shook her head and simply awaited his promise. "Ok, ok. May Jashin-sama be my witness; I swear to not annoy her in any way." The rolling of his eyes made Konan wonder if he would really keep it. Somewhere in her mind she heard Natsuki say 'Konan, you're being too strict again! Close your eyes, breathe in… and open them again. If you did it right everything should be purple by now.' Seeing her confused friend, a big grin had lightened up Natsuki's face that time. Smiling to herself, Konan went to her own room to finally get some rest.
Listening to Konan's disappearing steps, Hidan moved his chair closer to Natsuki's bed. He examined her body thoroughly because he knew as soon as she woke up he wouldn't be able to enjoy a great view like that anymore. Natsuki moved a lot in her sleep and steadily pushed away her blankets, soon exposing her whole body. Though struggling to keep control over his own body, Hidan moved to pull up the blankets again to keep her warm. But suddenly Natsuki turned and by accident slapped Hidan across the face with the back of her hand. "What the fuck?" Hidan yelled out. She only mumbled something and did not let his swearing disturb her precious sleep.
