Nagisa's sick week

Chapter one: Tamao vs. Shizuma

Tamao frowned once against at Nagisa's bed. She had been snuggled up nice and tightly when Tamao had finally drifted off to sleep. So where was she now? As Tamao pondered she heard footsteps outside her door. The doorknob to the room turned and in stepped…

"NAGISA-CHAN!" Tamao leapt onto the unsuspecting girl and toppled onto the ground.

"Tamao-chan" Nagisa groaned as Tamao started kissing her cheeks. She really needed to stop this behaviour. "Tamao-chan stop it, Shizuma-sama would not appreciate this"

"Relax it's only your cheeks"

"But Shizuma would not like it"

"And you are right Nagisa-chan" both girls' turned to face the still open door where Miyuki and a highly pissed off Shizuma stood. They leapt to their feet heads bowed.

"Good morning Shizuma" they chorused.

"Good morning angel" Shizuma stepped forward smiling and thoroughly ravaging Nagisa's already red lips. She straightened up and returned the glare Tamao was throwing at her. "You"

"Shizuma-sama I a…a…ACHOO!"

Miyuki frowned at Nagisa "are you not feeling well Aoi-chan?"

Nagisa shook her head and sniffed "I'll be fine"

"Hmm" Shizuma placed the back of her hand to Nagisa's forehead "you have a high temperature"

"Don't worry I'll look after her!" Tamao chimed.

"No you won't" Shizuma sneered.

Miyuki smirked at Shizuma's jealousy knowing that her friend had ever reason to. "Suzumi-chan there is no need for you to skip lessons today" Tamao's cheeks turned bright red "I am sure Shizuma will make good use of her time and tend to Nagisa-chan until she is fit for school again"

"But-"

"Suzumi-san! Go NOW!" Miyuki screamed and waited until the frightened fourth grader ran from the room. Miyuki sighed heavily before turning to Shizuma who had by this stage helped Nagisa into bed and was dabbing her forehead with a cool towel. Miyuki smiled at Shizuma's affectionate touch. "Shizuma"

"Mm?"

"I shall send Hitomi-san up with some medication from infirmary, will you be alright until then?"

"Yes I shall be alright I will try to get her to sleep some more"

"Very well, I shall check to see how everything is on my break"

"Arigatou Miyuki" as soon as Miyuki left the room Shizuma turned back to Nagisa with a grin "very well done, love, no wonder they chose to replace 'Carmen' with you in the play" Nagisa blushed.

"But…what about Hitomi-san bringing up medicine?"

"They'll only be headache tablets" Shizuma shrugged "and I'll say I'll make sure you take them"

"I am starting to get a little headache right now though" Nagisa groaned.

Shizuma's hand went to the back of her head and massaged a soothing circled "is it where that stupid Tamao-chan knocked you down?"

"She isn't stupid she's just…" Nagisa didn't know what to say, "Okay, okay"

Shizuma smiled and kissed Nagisa's forehead before a heavy knock echoed from the door "come in"

Miyuki came back inside "Shizuma, Amane-chan and Hikari-chan are unable to enter the greenhouse…do you have the spare key?"

"I think so…but it's in my summer home"

"I'll get your car"

"Very well I'll be there in a minute"

"Hurry" Miyuki left the room. Shizuma sighed and returned to Nagisa and patted her head soothingly.

"It looks like I'll be gone most of the day" she stood to leave.

Nagisa grabbed her hand "I'll miss you"

Shizuma lent down and kissed Nagisa's lips "I miss you already" she went to the door and before she left she turned to Nagisa "I don't want Tamao in here alone with you, if she is scream"

"But-"

"Promise me"

Nagisa looked into Shizuma's desperate emerald eyes and nodded "Hai"

"Thank you my love" Shizuma smiled "oh and if anyone else sees that body of yours naked, mark my words I will hurt them"

"Hai" Nagisa watched as Shizuma left her to her own devices. She scurried to her window and watched as Shizuma climbed into her car and drove off in the directions of her summerhouse. She sighed. "Maybe I'll take a shower, it'll pass the time until Shizuma gets back" feeling more happy a the idea of actually doing something gave Nagisa a small burst of energy as she went into the shower and started to run the water.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Tamao-chan was highly pissed off. How dare Shizuma act that way in front of her… and to kiss Nagisa like that! "Stupid Shizuma" she cursed as she made her way to her rooms. She stopped at the door and listened. Was that the shower? "Hmm?" she nudged the door open and inspected the room. Yep, Nagisa was definitely taking a shower. "What a perfect opportunity!" she squealed to herself before dumping her books on her bed and sneaking into the bathroom.

Nagisa felt much better once she'd rinsed the shampoo from her eyes. She hummed lightly to herself as she combed her finger through her hair. She was unaware that Tamao's head was poking around the curtain, watching her. That is until she opened her eyes. She stood frozen in fear as Tamao's eyes roamed her body. She felt sick. She grabbed the curtain and wrapped it around herself. "H-E-L-P! H-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-LP!!!!"

Shizuma had been on the floor below when she'd heard the cries for help. "Nagisa-chan!" she dropped what she had been carrying, Miyuki rushing after her.

"Shizuma! What's wrong?"

"Nagisa is in trouble!" they quickened their pace up the stairs. They barged into Nagisa's room just as Nagisa was trying to run out of it. The girl was in tears her dressing gown barely covering her properly.

"SHIZUMA-SAMA!" she cried out rushing into Shizuma's arms. Shizuma hugged her and stroked her hair; the younger girl began to sob. From the looks of the situation Shizuma was not pleased at all.

"SUZUMI-CHAN!"

"H-Hai Shizuma-sama?"

"I warned you once, and I've warned you twice and now I'm finally SICK of warning you TO NEVER TOUCH MY GIRLFRIEND!!!" Tamao shrank in Shizuma's aggressive state. Shizuma advanced on her. "I told Nagisa I would hurt whoever touched her or even looked at her like I do" she grabbed Tamao's uniform and raised her three feet off the floor. "NOW THIS IS YOUR FINALLY WARNING SUZUMI-SAN! ONE MORE AND I WILL NOT BE EASY ON YOU!!!" she dropped the girl who landed in a heap on the floor. Shizuma turned to Nagisa who was in Miyuki's arms sobbing. She lifted Nagisa into her arms "you're safe now Nagisa, love, I promise"

Nagisa looked into her girlfriends' eyes. She did not care any more what happened to Tamao-chan. "Shizuma…sama" her eyelids fell closed. She had cried herself into exhaustion.

"I'll take her to my rooms" and with that Shizuma and Nagisa went along the hall and disappeared around the corner.

Miyuki turned her attention back to the room, and looked at Tamao-chan sobbing beside her bed. She shrugged emotionlessly "she warned you" and walked out of the door.
