Chapter 34

Note: Being sick is just as horrible as ninjas who can't look after a sick person.

~Laura's POV

I lean my chin on my palm as I start chewing on my meatloaf piece. I can't go out tomorrow? That's not fair I was thinking of going to the park or something… but I guess that is fine since its Saturday tomorrow and I have no work till Monday.

I glance round the kitchen as everyone is eating while chatting to the people near them; I glance to Kahlan as she spares me a small smile before swallowing her food and taking a sip of her drink.

I grin happily as the bubbles cover my hands and blow them a little, making them fly round the kitchen as Tobi starts to play with them and Deidara… well he destroys them the moment they come within a three foot space of him.

I quickly rinse my hands off after I put the clean plates and cup away. I turn round from the sink and see that most of the Akatsuki members have left and that only Kisame, Deidara, Kahlan and Itachi remain in the kitchen.

Deidara and Kisame seem to be playing a card game… I think it's Old Maid and Itachi seems to be drinking… something while Kahlan seems to be waiting for me since she doesn't seem to like me being alone with the ninjas.

I dry my hands quickly while walking to Kahlan who is watching the ninjas carefully. I look to the opening to the kitchen as Konan walks into it with a small smile on her face.

"Hey Konan," Kahlan greets with a smile as I wave to her as my greeting. I watch as she walks over to Kahlan as she whispers something in her ear before walking over to me.

"We'll leave the cat's food outside, ready for him today," she says as I nod softly to her, "can you act something out so you can get outside while hiding the food?" she asks softly as I grin and nod again. That will be super easy~!

Konan gives me a smile before walking over to Kahlan who is shuffling things in the fridge. I walk out of the kitchen, through then kitchen and grab a small coat and yellow boots which is hanging up.

I walk through the living room only to be stopped by Pein himself.

"What are you doing," he asks while eyeing my coat with slightly narrowed eyes. He still seems pissed about the whole no talking thing. I give a simple innocent smile while pulling it on along with my boots. My coat is a light yellow kinder like Winnie the Pooh's color.

"I'm going to the garden to play for a bit, I have way too much energy~" I sing slightly with a huge grin on my face. I hope my acting is fine seeing as I got his ringed eyes staring down on me… I'm shaking a tiny bit so I pull my coat a little closer to make it look like I'm just cold.

"Alright," Pein says while stopping his eyes from narrowing down on my clearly smaller form, I mean seriously! I only come up to his shoulders! Why are people so tall?! "You can go now," he says before returning to his seat beside Kakuzu as most of the members seem to be watching the news as the news people talk about all of the things like terrorist attacks and murders going on in my area.

No doubt people are going crazy with the attention from Deidara's bomb going BANG!

I watch for a second before giving a small nod to no one and walking into the kitchen where there is a small plastic box and a water bottle full of water and it looks like it's full of the bacon from dinner and bits of meat. No doubt those are leftovers from dinner.

"Ready?" Kahlan asks with a smile as I hear Kisame yelling at Deidara, it seems Kisame died in the game thanks to him and it looks like… he has a small pinch of clay attached to his card.

I nod happily as I pick up the small container and bottle and hide it in my coat pocket. "I'll be in the garden~" I call into the house while skipping out there, just as its starting to rain~

I grin happily while spinning in the puddles, singing some lyrics from an old song I know, "I'm singing~ in the rain~ oh what a wonderful feeling~ I'm happy again~!" I randomly sing loudly while laughing, I think that's how the lyrics go~ I laugh happily to myself as I hear Kahlan laughing from inside of the kitchen since I left the door open.

I love puddles they remind me so much of home.

I stop as I feel the small container in my pocket move, oh right my 'mission' I forgot about it! I quickly grab Sargent's bowls and pull it over to the tree where it's dry; I put the food in the food part of the bowl and the water in the water bowl. I nod to myself and go back to jumping in puddles while singing those random lyrics out.

I yawn loudly after about ten minutes of jumping in and out of puddles just as it starts hammering down with rain. I shiver a little while jumping out of the huge puddle I am standing in and head inside as a sneeze escapes my mouth.

I look to Kahlan as she finishes off a peach with a smile and look round the kitchen and only see Kakuzu, Pein and Konan in the room, it looks like the other members are somewhere else.

"Hey Laura," Kahlan greets while walking over to me, I give a small smile before covering my mouth as another sneeze escapes my mouth, a little louder this time, my sneeze is soon joined by a chorus of coughs.

I make a face at my coughing as Kahlan's eyes widen a bit as she places a hand on her own forehead before mine. "You're hot," she says while pulling her hand away my forehead before going to get some medicine from the bathroom… I think.

I rub my eyes a little as Konan jumps up from her seats and walks round the table to me; she does the same as Kahlan did by putting her hand to my forehead and gives a small sad smile.

"Looks like you caught a small cold out there," she says softly while pulling her hand away from my forehead before looking to Pein as he is watching closely, along with Kakuzu who is drinking some coffee right now. "Laura has caught a minor cold," she says while her eyes go a little gentle while looking at Pein.

Pein's look lessens while looking from Konan to me then back to Konan, "go to bed and get some rest," he says calmly while taking a sip of his coffee mug which has the symbol of number one on it, #1 on it.

Konan nods swiftly while taking my coat off of me to see some rain had gotten through it and onto my kimono, making it stick to my clothes which make me shiver, its cold as heck!

I feel my legs drift across the floor as I start to go off into daydream land. I feel really warm and at the same time… very cold.

"Laura… Laura don't doze off just yet," I hear Kahlan say as I rub my eyes from their doziness and see Kahlan standing in front of me, it seems we're in my bedroom… when did we come in here?

I send her a small smile while yawning softly only for my yawn to turn into a small sneezing fit. I rub my nose after my fit and see some small white pills in Konan's hands as she is kneeling in front of me… when did I sit down on my bed?! Okay I need to pay more attention to the things around me now.

"Here you go," Konan says while handing me the small pills and a glass of water. I make a small face before swallowing the small pills and quickly down the water, the horrible aftertaste feels my mouth as I swallow the water.

"Okay time to bed," Kahlan says as I notice something else… HOW THE HELL DID I CHANGE INTO MY SLEEPING CLOTHES?! Okay I'm scared now Jerry must be trying to scare me… its working!

I make a face at the two women in front of me before coughing slightly with a sneeze; it's a mix of both.

Konan gives me a small smile while softly putting me into my bed as I snuggle three of my plushies, Sasori, Deidara and Konan plushies. I hug them close as the feel of sleep tugs me away.

"Good night Laura," I hear Konan say as I see her walk out of the room, a small smile on her face.

"Good night Laura, sweet dreams," Kahlan says softly while moving my bangs out of my eyes, I give her a small smile while closing my eyes and burying my face into Sasori's head, he's so nice and soft.

I soon wake up only a couple hours later and look to the clock beside my bed; it's almost ten am meaning everyone should be up. I look round my room and see that Konan and Kahlan aren't in the room, meaning they are probably awake already.

I blink slowly before slowly sitting upright only to have a large fit of coughs, covering my mouth to cover the noise. My chest strings at the feeling and my throat feels like a butter knife just ran across it.

After my coughing fit slowly comes to an end, I see the bedroom door open and the light almost blinds me since its dark in my room, the curtains haven't been drawn open to let the sun light in, which probably let me sleep longer since its soo dark in my room right now.

"Good morning Laura," Kahlan says while stepping into my room, a smile on her face as I uncover my mouth, spit covering my hand which I quickly rub off onto a pile of tissues near my bed.

"Morning," I strain my voice while saying as I hold my throat as the stringing comes very quickly.

Kahlan quickly walks over to my bed and puts her hand on my forehead before putting her other hand on her own forehead.

"You're much warmer then yesterday," she says with a slight tone of panic in her voice, "I'll go get you some medicine," she says then quickly leaves the room. I watch her leave before lying my head back down onto my pillow, coughing keeps me from falling asleep so I wait for Kahlan to return, my coughing only seems to get worse while waiting.
