Chapter 4 : The Truth Behind the Fever
3rd person POV
Fayt, carrying Meru, rushed through her room setting her on the bed.
"Whoa Fayt, chill man. What's gotten into you? Its just a simple fever." Said Miyako.
"Are you crazy? I'm taking any chances with Meru. Not this time." Fayt yelled.
"What do you mean 'this time'?" asked Kureno.
"You don't know?"
"Know what? Fayt what on earth are you talking about?" Miyako asked in a serious tone.
"Last year Meru had a fever but she said it was ok but I think she was lying."
"Sh-she ha-had a.. fever?" Miyako face suddenly turned pale.
"Fayt, how long did she had the fever?" asked Yuri.
"I don't know. After about a couple of weeks she looked ok again." Fayt said unsure.
"That's it? A couple weeks she was just fine. Did she collapse, fainted, anything?" Kureno asked.
"Well, she collapsed this one time but that was the time I found out she had a fever."
"mmmm…" Meru groaned on the bed.
"Meru!" Miyako went to her younger sister side. "Fayt. This is the same fever she had last year."
"What? That's impossible." Fayt shouted.
"Not for Meru it isn't." Lyon said.
"But how?"
" Well…" Miyako trailed off and everyone put their heads down.
"It isn't exactly something we like to talk about around here." Yuri said unsure how to word it.
"She did tell you what happen to her parents?" Miyako asked turning her head to Fayt.
"Only that her parents died. Why?"
"There's more to it Fayt. When she was 5 her parents died not because of an accident, but of murder." Everyone was silent but Miyako continued. "We don't know the details of the murder but the murderer is dead for murder of course. But it wasn't until she was just 13 years old. After her parents died, Meru and I changed of course. But even though she was young she took self-defense fighting class, high advance classes, all of that stuff. Eventually, she kept over exerting herself but creating some high resistance endurance. Like taking hits, getting use to high and cold temperatures, and she came to a point of a highly dangerous fever."
"I'm sorry but I'm going have to stop you. What does this have to do with her fever?"
"Everything Fayt. She almost died once but was luckily able to live." Kureno said to Fayt with a glare.
"What?"
"As I was saying, she came to a point of a highly dangerous fever. That fever nearly killed her. Because she didn't care of herself or even let others to help her for that matter, shes lucky to be even alive. You know how it feels to have another love killed? Horrible. And you better hope she lives through this fever."
"I-I don't know what to say."
"Exactly. Before her fever gotten worse we took her to the hospital and the doctors said there was little hope of her surviving at a young age. Before I took a step outside of her room worrying about her, she told me why she did this, why over exerting herself, and what she found after the death of her parents."
Flashback
"Onne-sama…" Meru spoke quietly but loud enough for Miyako to hear.
"Meru! Are you ok? What were you thinking? Don't you know how worry I was?" She screamed.
"Okaa-sama, Otou-sama, was murdered."
"-gasps- Th-that's impossible."
"I'm sorry… I want to get stronger so that I can find the person who did this to my parents." Meru then lifted her arm slowly. Miyako held it and cried.
"Baka… I get it now… you're going to make it alright. I'll make sure of it. But I want you -sniffs- that everyone will always be here for you."
"Arigatou onee-sama…"
"After this, I want you to tell me everything. We'll get through this together…"
End of Flashback
After that she made a full recovery but when she became 10 she had it again but what we didn't know was she had it for weeks. Fighting the sickness back. Of course most people think it was unnatural but Meru was always stubborn and tries to take care of herself only. When she didn't tell us she had a fever, she just takes medicine without consulting us."
"So Meru created this resistance?"
"Trust me, the longer she resist the sickness, the longer and the higher chance she will be DEADLY sick."
"Isn't there anything we can do?" Fayt screamed.
"There isn't. We tried everything but nothing seems to work but hope and support." Yuri said sadly.
"Ok how long are you guys are gonna keep eavesdroppin'?" Kureno said tiredly opening the door. The Dawn Brigade fell down except for Nolan.
"Uhh… hi?" Edward said nervously.
"Wow, and I thought you and Meru were the eavesdroppers." Yuri said with a smirk.
"Shut up." Miyako replied.
"So all we can do is wait?" Laura said getting dust off her dress.
"Apparently."
"Meru…." Fayt brushed Meru bangs out of her face as she sleeps peacefully fighting to break her fever.
"Fayt…" Miyako comes up behind him. "If you truly care about her THAT much then there is one person we can call. But…" she trailed off.
"But...?" Everyone said.
"Ummm. How do I say this without making this weird and awkward.?"
"We can just call him and they'll find out for sure." Lyon said holding the a cellphone with the phone number already dialed.
"Sure….." With that he called THAT person.
Later that night…
"So who IS this person?" Leo said bluntly.
"Oh you'll find out soon enough." Kureno said somewhat laughing. Then the door to Meru's suddenly burst open with a man at the entrance.
"MIIIIYAKO!" The man with glasses then came at Miyako but she countered it with a punch in the face.
"Hi , how are you? Great? Good." Miyako then kick him down where his face lies on the floor.
"Oh this wonderful pain brings back good memories." said very satisfy.
"Cut the crap and take a look at Meru. She's sick." Miyako then pointed at her with Fayt at her side.
"Meru!" The doctor tried to hold Meru's hand but he soon met with a punch.
"Hey don't you dare touch her you freak!" Fayt yelled with a death glared facing towards the doctor.
"I'm sorry?"
"Did I mention that she has a special relationship?" Miyako said with a evil smil on her face.
"No you didn't." He turns to face Fayt. "My name is Dr. Hiro Tomoya. I am a close friend to Meru and I am her doctor."
"Don't you mean weird ocd girl costume snatcher?"
"How could you be so mean?" (Puppy eyes)
"Can you help Meru or not?" Fayt yelled.
"I will try but I need everyone out of the room." Everyone did what they were told.
"I swear do anything to her and I'll-
Trust me, she is in safe hands. I treat like she was my own daughter." With that Fayt left.
30 minutes has passed and everyone was in deep silence. then emerge from Meru's room.
"So hows is she?" asked Fayt.
"It's alright. Her fever is broken." The doctor said simply. "And when wakes up I'll put into a cute maid costume and take with me. Wheeee~" The doctor soon met with a slap and a punch mark on his face.
"Ya don't have to be so mean… [curls up into ball]"
"Shut up and that's my sister you're talking about there." Miyako said ready to kill him.
"And she's my younger sister-in-law."said Kureno, also ready to kill him.
"Meru!" Fayt yelled and he immediately ran into her room.
"Miii~ Fayt?" A small sweet voice could be heard from the blue hair sleepy girl.
"Meru! Thank god you're alright…"
"Why didn't you tell me back then?"
"Back then? Oh. You mean the fever I had?"
"1 year. For one whole year you had it. Why?"
"Miyako told you already, so there really isn't any other reasons why I couldn't tell you."
"You've heard?"
"Not heard per se, but I'm sorry I worried you. I promise I won't do it again." Meru then got a punch to the head. (anime-style)
"Damn right you will!" Miyako said furiously.
"What the heck was that for?" Meru hit back her sister, despite she was still recovering.
"Did you forget already?"
"of course I've haven't but you're no better than I am!"
"That's the Meru I know now."
"What?"
"Meru!" Edward came up from the door and hug her tightly as he could. "Man, i thought you would be a goner!"
"Let her go Edward, she can't breathe." Said Leo prying off Edward from the breathless girl.
"Thanks Leo."
"No prob."
"Hey I know this calls for a celebration!" Edward shouted.
"At 12:30 AM?" She pointed at the clock right beside her.
"Whoa it's already midnight?" Ike asked coming into her room with Soren.
"Ike! Soren!"
"Well I'm glad you made a full recovery, but I think its best if we all hit the hay com' on Soren."
"Good night Meru." Soren said before he left.
"Whoa, did Soren just say good night to me?" Meru asked giving a confuse face at Fayt.
"Apparently so."
"Well I guess we should go to. Come on guys out, out, out." With that everyone left the room leaving Fayt and Meru alone.
"Well I better head to bed also." Fayt started to leave but was soon stop by a tug on his arm.
"Meru?"
"Ummm… Fayt, can you stay with me… tonight?" She asked with a rose-beet face.
"Of course Meru."
The 2 slept together peacefully. But the main problems is that, why has monsters invade them? Why has the Dawn Brigade and the Hero of Blue Flames come to her world? Who is responsible for this? All of this has been left unknown.
Kureno: Got it out of your system?
Meru: Shut up. I have an extreme headache, I took 3 pills, I am sneezing everywhere, and I am blacking out like a lightbulb.
Kureno: Whoa, back up. Did you drink while you were sick?
Meru: Again shut up. This wasn't stupidest thing I have ever done.
Kureno: Like the time you ate half a gallon of ice cream, wearing ur summer clothes in a room that was about 34 degrees Fahrenheit. In the winter.
Meru: Hey! I was high on sugar, if my teachers didn't make me do a ginger bread house with about 3 pints of frosting and icing, along with a whole bunch of sprinkles, along with food coloring, I would NOT have done that. Achoo!
Kureno: Bless you.
Meru: Don't bless me you piss so call of a brother drunk. Anyways hope u enjoy this and R&R and all that crap. *coughs and sneezes* oww that one actually hurt.
Both: Bye! Hav a Merry Early Christmas!
Meru: If u don't celebrate then hav a nice break or whatever u hav.
