Chapter 8:

Sniffles

Yuki's P.O.V

'Cold…I'm soo….cold..' I said to myself not yet fully awoken from my slumber. Still cold in my futon. 'Why is everything so cold….?' I opened my eyes just a bit knowing it was about 7. I start another day at the academy at 8.

' I want to get up but everything.. is just.. soo.. cold' I said while laying one of my fingers on my wooden floor. I heard a knock on the door, a few minutes later. I was curled up into a ball, trying to keep my body warm from this Arctic cold. It took all my strength to get up, cover myself with my covers and walk to the door. I opened it to discover.

"Hitsu"

"Good Morn- Yuyu, you look terrible."

"No I'm fine really don't worry about it just give me a min-" I couldn't finish I felt dizzy and fell. Good thing Hitsu was there to catch me, or I would have fallen flat on my face, not able to move.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Mhmm im positive ."

"I don't think you should be attending school today." He lifted his hand to meet my forhead.

"You're really burning up."

"I'm fine… can you just turn up the heat or something?"

"Umm… it's like 28o C here…. And your still freezing?!"

"just… let.. me…change…" I said in a weak voice.

"No, you're not going anywhere. Go back to your futon."

"But, I'm totally fine! Remember it's hard for me to catch a cold."

"No you are not FINE, you didn't catch a cold, you caught a fever! I'm staying here to take care of you." He said while trying to hide a blush.

"No, you should go to school… don't worry about me."

"Just give me a minute, I'm just going to drop off and tell the administration that you have a high fever, and I'm going to stay and take care of you."

"I said I'm-"

"Go back to your futon," he said while guiding me back to my futon. " I'm going to be right back." He laid me down, and covered me up.

I just nodded and closed my eyes.

_Time passed_

By the time I woke up, I smelt soup, chicken soup. I sat up all groggy and rubbed my eyes. I felt warmer, so guess my fever went down just a bit. I stretched, and I made a bit of a noise I guess because hitsu walked into my room.

"You're awake."

"Mhmm…" I looked up to find, Hitsu in an apron. I blushed a little cause he looked ADORABLE! Especially because it's a girl's apron, it was pink with frills on the side. It had a plaid pattern. It was a gift from my mother, I hate the colour pink, but she told me I had to be girlier. Instead of blushing none-stop, I ended up bursting in laughter.

He turned beet red.

"Wh-what?! I took care of you, and this is what I end up getting?"

"I-I'm-s-so-sorry-HAHAHAA- I Just-never knew-you'd be- wearing my apron!"

"So, what's so bad about it?" he looked away.

"Nothing." I said still giggling.

"I made you chicken soup…"

"Thank you." I said sweetly and looked at him with a smile. He turned away and went back into the kitchen. I got up and walked to the kitchen as well

"It smells good."

"Yea… I hope you'll like it." He said taking a bowl and filling it up with chicken soup.

"Ike takimasu" I took a spoon and sipped it.

"Oyshi…." I said in a whisper.

"You really think so?"

"Yea…"

"That's good, let me feel your forehead." I lifted his hand and put it on my forhead.

"I think your fever rose again; it's probably because you started bursting out laughter from seeing me." ( -.- )

"Well, I'm sorry… you just…. You're…. I never thought you would wear my apron…"

"Well I was cooking… anyways go back into your futon, you must be cold."

"I'm not cold…"

"Your lips are turning pale, do you think I believe you? Now go back."

I turned around and went into my futon. After a while Hitsu came and sat down beside me.

"How are you feeling?"

"I'm good thank you, for the soup."

"You're welcome. I cleaned up after myself so you don't have to worry about any mess."

"Thank you." I said smiling weakly. I turned and closed my eyes. Before I knew it, I drifted off to sleep.

_Toshiro's P.O.V_

I watched as Yuyu dozed off and slept. I myself would doze off, but I heard a knock. I went to go get it, not wanting to wake her up.

"Who is it?" I called quietly.

"It's Juniora, is Yuki there?" He said louder than he usually speaks

"Yes she is, and keep your voice down, she's sleeping." I said with a harsh whisper.

"How do you even know where she lives?" I asked

"I asked the director. She said that she lives here. You weren't at school today, why?"

"Because Yuki fell down with a fever, and I was planning to walk to school with her. So I stayed to help her out."

"You could of told me or asked me."

"Why would I do that? You are further away than we are, so why would I have to go out of my way to tell you this?"

"Because, I would probably better taking care of her." He said sternly.

"You don't know what I'm capable of. So please don't presume that I'm not good at taking care of people." I said in a firm voice.

"Mnehh….." I heard from one of the rooms. Then footsteps, and before we know it, Yuki was standing in front of us.

"What's going on…? Oh Juniora… You're here…" She said with a weak smile and a groggy voice.

"Do you want something to drink? Welcome to my humble abode, hehehe." She was covered with her cover. She looked like a ball of cotton.

"Don't force yourself to talk yuki-chan. "

"Don't worry, Hitsu here is just over exaggerating. I'm fine."

"You look terrible, I'm sorry to invite myself here without giving you a notice. Also I'm sorry to wake you up."

"It's alright. You can stop by anytime."

"You should probably go back to sleep."

"huh? Yea sure, after one bowl oh hitsu-kun's awesome soup! \(^ A ^ )/"

( "") "Fine, then after, you have to go to bed."

"But don't I have homework or something?" She said to turn to Juniora.

"Oh yes you do, and so do you Hitsuguya-kun, but yuki-chan in your present condition, I don't think that you can do it. Maybe your fever will go up if you work too hard."

"Yes but…"

"Don't you remember? You're still our servant, so I order you to sleep in the fouton so you get well better so you can attend school tomorrow!" I said.

" (TOT) I forgot about that…"

"Yes now go to your room!"

" ( -.- ) You sound like my dad…" She whispered quietly, but I could still hear her. Juniora started to chuckle.

"BUT remember! I still want the bowl of chicken soup!"

"Hai Hai…."

I heard a door slide open then close.

"Do you need help?" Juniora said to me.

"Um, no so you can go home."

"I will go home when Yuki-chan is better."

"Since when do you use politeness?"

"Since Yuki did."

"… I guess she's trying to use that again."

"Again?"

"Yea, she attempted once, but I guess she gave up or something."

" I see…"

"Anyways, if you're going to stay here, do something to occupy yourself."

"Yes I know."

I went in to the kitchen to get the bowl of chicken soup that yuki requested.

Juniora's P.O.V

'Why the hell does he get to take care of Yuki-chan? If he would have told me, she wouldn't have to deal with him for the whole day! God…' I thought to myself as I took out my stuff from my bag. I was writing my answers for my home work intill Toshiro-kun decided to sit in front of me.

"Can I help you with something?"

"I need my homework."

"Oh right, here." I said handing him his stack of homework.

"And where is Yuki-chan's?"

"So you're using politeness too?"

"Shut up…"

"Here, why do you want it?"

"Because the teachers would scold her if she didn't do it, and she isn't in the right condition to be doing homework, so I'll do it for her."

"I could do it for her, I was there the entire lesson so I can give her the right answers."

"Are you saying I'm not intelligent enough to do her homework correctly?"

" I did not say that, I just said that I would be more suited since I learnt it first-handily. "

"Do whatever you wish; I don't have the patients to deal with you."

I just smiled and look down at my work

'Patients TO DEAL WITH ME?! How dare he! Who does he think he is?! I never asked him to DEAL with me! White haired twit. That feels much better'

"Hehehe…"

"What are you laughing about?"

"Betsuni" I smiled

( """)
