So Hot!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was another day for Hayate, walking down the hall of middle school she was currently studying at. She opened her locker, changed her shoes and by the time she walked out she realised that it was raining. She reached into her bag to pull out her umbrella. She was supposed to pull one out but it wasn't there. She belated that she'd forgot to put it back into her bag yesterday after Vita borrowed it. She next looked for her handphone to call one of her knights to fetch her. Again, she was supposed to have had it with her but remembered that she'd left it on her desk at home and forgot to put it into her pocket this morning.
'Goodness me! I've been a very forgetful person today!' hitting herself on the forehead.
Indeed she was forgetful that day. She also debated to use telepathy but she might disturb one of them if ever they were on a mission and Chrono would shout at her for using magic to shield herself from the rain.
'No choice. Hopefully I won't get too wet.' sighing at the thought.
Her only open option was going home in the rain. By the time she reached home she was drenched from head to toe save her books in her bag. She stepped into the house to find all of her knights there.
'I forgot they were on leave today!' smacking herself on the forhead again.
"Hayate, why did you not call one of us?" Shamal mused, bringing a towel with her.
"I left my handphone on the desk and my umbrella is still with Vita." she replied.
"Didn't I give it to you yesterday? You told me to put it on your table." the redhead answered.
Hayate groaned in defeat. Signum was bringing more towels. When she proceeded to wipe her down properly while Shamal prepared the bath Hayate had accidentally sneezed onto Signum several times without literally meaning it. Vita was laughing while Hayate warned Signum to stay away from her unless the knight wished to be sick. Signum ignored the warning with the excuse that she has never gotten sick in her entire life and would not anytime soon. Later on, Hayate had taken a bath, dressed warmly but had now contracted a cold due to her silliness within the day.
'I've been awfully silly today! Left my umbrella behind, forgot my handphone and also forgot that my knights were free for the rest of the week as a reward for a recent case!' sighing heavily.
'Now I'm going to be stuck in bed until Shamal says I can go. Nothing could possibly get worse I suppose.' closing her eyes and falling asleep.

The next day was a nice morning. Hayate woke up with a yawn, streching her arms out. She felt a great deal better than she did yesterday. She got up, made breakfast for her family like everything was normal. Everything was perfect until Shamal came out of her room and started nagging Hayate for not resting. The two fought a little, waking Vita who was sleeping on the couch.
"Vita! Why are you sleeping on the couch?" the brunnette scolded
"I was watching a late night movie and also because you were sick. Thought you needed the space." getting up and draging herself to the counter.
"That's no reason to sleep outside on the couch when you have a nice warm bed." hands on her hips.
The three continued nagging, scolding and teasing each other until Vita realised something.
"Oi, Hayate. Doesn't Signum always wake up a lot earlier? It's already nine in the morning and even if she's on holiday she usually wakes up early anyways." causing the brunette to search around worriedly.
Suddenly the front door opened and a familiar pink knight walked through wearing sweatpants and a normal t-shirt.
"I'm back." she called out.
"Where on earth did you go?" she asked her knight.
"I went for a walk. Anything wrong with that?" she answered.
"You look a little pale today..." said tha blonde.
Signum ignored Shamal because she was confident in her health. Though she knew that she was indeed feeling a little down today. She felt cold and she also felt her body temperature rise. Even so, she still refused to think that she is actually sick. Hayate on her end avoided the worst of her sickness by taking quick action but what about Signum? The day went on normally. When Hayate came back from school she found Signum to be the only one in the house.
"Where's everyone else?" she asked.
"They all went out with Lindy. I offered to stay back. Zafira also went." getting up from her seat.
Signum had noticed that her muscles had started aching viciously and found it hard to move around without a little more effort. She moved into the bathroom to fill the bath for Hayate while she was putting her bag away and getting her change of clothes. Signum was now leaning on the side of the tub full of water. She slumped down onto the ground admitting defeat to her aching muscles. She feeling very tired and weak, fatigue settling in. She moved one hand and rested it upon her forehead. She knew she was sick, really sick because Shamal had showed them the signs of an oncoming fever. This meaning fatigue, muscle aches and rise in body temperature.
"Signum, is the water ready?" the brunette asked from her room.
"Yes, you may come in any time." she answered weakly.
Hayate noticed the difference in tone. She rushed to the bathroom to find her precious knight struggling to stand up.
"I knew you were going to fall sick. I don't think one sneeze would have made you like this. You were out in the rain too weren't you!" she scolded, hands on her hips.
Signum did not even try to fight because she hadn't enough energy to do so. It had rained all through the rest of yesterday. Fate had challenged Signum to a sparring match out in the rain without letting her mother know and Signum had done the same with Hayate, using her mistress' sick dilemma to sneak out of the house unnoticed.
"Fate chan didn't show up in school today, she called in sick. Is that the reason everyone went to Lindy san's place ne? Did you spar with her in the rain yesterday?" she asked sternly.
"Yes." she replied.
Hayate just let out a sigh.
"You are just too stubborn you know. Let's get you to bed bacause you'll need all the rest you can get if you want to get better."
Hayate strolled over to her knight's side and helped to her room. Hayate prioritised Signum before her bath as that can wait. She put a wet cloth on her forehead and perscribed some aspirin to the feverish knight. By the time Signum was asleep and she was ready to take a bath the phone rang. She rushed to pick it up.
"Yes, Yagami residence." she said into the phone.
"Hayate chan, is that you? It's Shamal."
"Yes, Hayate speaking. What's wrong Shamal?"
"Fate chan said that Signum sparred with her yesterday and was wondering if she is just as sick as she is. I was worried so I called."
Hayate chuckled at that one.
"When I came home she was a picture of health until I caught her struggling to stand up in the bathroom."
"Oh my... Is it a fever?" the worry in her tone getting more and more obvious.
"I'm afraid so. I just gave her some medicine and strictly sent her to bed. She'll be alright as long as I keep an eye on her. How's Fate chan?" worried for her friend.
"Her fever is far worse I believe. She also has a bad sore throat, cough and to top it all off, a cold."
"My dear Fate chan... Why on earth would anyone want to spar in the rain? Kami sama, these two are really extreme when they spar with each other."
"I'll finish up here and head home to tend to our sick knight."
"Sure, I'll be waiting."
They said their goodbyes and Hayate put the phone down. After having her bath she went to check on Signum. She was sleeping peacefully but she was sweating heavily plus, she also looks pale and her cheeks were really red hot. Hayate took pity on her knight even though it was mostly Signum's own fault for wanting to spar out in the middle of the rain. Shamal came home not long after that, Vita and Zafira in tow. Shamal took care of Signum while Vita was laughing away most of her time at her leader's predicament.
'My knights are really funny sometimes. Signum loves sparring, even in extreme conditions, with Fate chan but hates getting sick and when she does, she denies all and plays stronghold.'
Laughing slightly at the thought.
'Vita on the other hand, will tease and laugh at whatever it is that befalls Signum or Fate and would never let them live it down. In this case,it is of a disadvantage for Signum.'
She shook away the though, though she could not help laughing at it.
'The important thing is that she gets better. After that, I'll give her a nice long lecture about this.'
Picturing Signum's bored look made her giggle uncontrolably.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Within a few days Signum and Fate got better. Signum had pressed that she was fine but Shamal would not believe her until she had done another scan. Fate on the other hand was a little more cooperative than her rival. Vita enjoyed her holiday the most because she got to tease her leader endlessly and would not have her live it down. Signum found it more like a nightmare than a holiday because of falling sick, having to listen yo Shamal's nagging and Hayate's non-stop lecture. Soon enough, things wound down and Signum managed to at least enjoy her holiday whilst there was no nagging going about. Fate was still having a little bit of her cough and cold, giving Signum an opportunity to tease her. At least it was better than nothing.

EXTRA OMAKE
Hayate rushed to the bathroom to find her precious knight dipping her leg into the water.
"Signum, what are you doing?" she asked, confused.
"I set the bath. It only seemed right to have the first dip."
"You're so mean. No wonder Shamal only ever sets the bath because you'll dip in before anyone else."
"Not true. Just because she doesn't show it doesn't mean that she never did it. She always dips both her legs while it's still filling up. That's why nobody ever catches her doing it."
Hayate's jaw just dropped.
