After class was over For the morning we headed to lunch, Naiomi wanted to eat at the cafeteria but I wanted to go back to the dorms to eat in peace so we went our separate ways.
Once I was back in the dorms I cook myself something to eat and sit at the table to eat my food while I write in my notebook, each day I write entries into this notebook to catalog my days and other events that had happened throughout the day, I frowned as I get to the part about my teacher asking about the Shun family. Once I was finished I still had approximately 45 minutes till the next class starts, I put my notebook in my bag and slide the door open to my room, upon entering I'm stuck by a sharp pain in my chest that makes me drop to one knee while I grasp at my shirt where my chest hurt, I place my other hand on the floor to balance my self.
"What...what is this pain..."
I force myself to stand back up and feel completely drained from the pain that's made me dazed for a moment I try to walk but feel faint, I catch myself on the wall and perch myself up against the it while I wait for the feeling to go away. I was in such a daze I couldn't think. and soon slipped into darkness.
-Kirito-
I finish my food and empty my tray, as I'm walking to my next class Naiomi steps in front of me.
"Hey, Kirito have you seen Yuki?"
I raised one eye
"No...I would think she would be with you?"
Her face grew grim.
"Well she went back to the dorms to eat and we were supposed to meet back here 15 minutes ago but she hasn't shown up, my teacher asked me to take something to the office so I can't wait for her any longer nor can I go check on her, could you go check to see if she's ok?"
I thought about it for a second but nodded in agreement.
"Sure no problem."
Her face lit up
"Great thanks Kirito!"
With that said she leaves me alone and headed to the office, I made my way to the student council dorms
-At the dorms-
I close the door behind me and call out to Yuki
"Yuki you in here?"
*Dead silence*
"Hey, Yuki!"
*More dead silence*
I walk to her room seeing her door was open and peer in, she was propped up against the wall while sitting on the floor, I quickly rush over to her and shake her a little.
"Yuki? Hey, Yuki are you alright?"
I moved her hair away from her face, she looked pale and very uncomfortable, her cheeks were pink with fever and she felt very hot.
( She has a high fever this isn't good, she's already passed out from it. )
"Common let's get you into bed, I'm going to pick you up ok?"
I lift her with both of my arms and lay her in her bed, I quickly go get a wet towel and place it on her head, I then call for the nurse.
A few minutes later the nurse finally arrives, he steps in and begins by taking her temperature. He looked even more concerned.
"Her temperature is at 104 it's very high right now I'll give her some medicine but I feel there's something else to this, you said she was perfectly fine earlier?"
I nod and he sighs, Yuki's breathing had become labored from having such a high fever so he gives her some medicine to help. He then turns to me and scratches the back of his head.
" I think it's best if someone were to stay with her till her fevers breaks. Can you do that?"
I answered without hesitation
"I can do it."
He smiles and pats me on my shoulder.
"Good I'll tell your guys' teacher you won't be able to come back for the day, just remember to give her the medicine again in a few hours."
"Yes sir thank you."
He leaves and I place a chair next to Yuki's bed, I then pull my book out and begin to read.
-A little while later-
After some time had passed her breathing became normal again but her fever was still high, she still looked quite uncomfortable, I change the towel on her forehead and her eyes flutter then slightly open. And she spoke in a low raspy voice.
"Big brother...why did you kill them? Please tell me..."
Shocked by her question I was speechless for a moment but she continued talking nonsense that I couldn't understand until she lifted her arm to cover her eyes was when I noticed her tears, what she had said the past few days about her brother seemed to make sense now.
( She told me a lie because her brother hurt her...maybe I should-)
The crack in her voice threw me off guard
"You...you took everything how could you..."
I frowned at her sobs.
"Yuki..."
I place my hand on hers to try to comfort her.
( The fever has taken a toll on her, She must be having nightmares.)
She seemed to calm down and fell back to sleep after I held her hand. I wipe away the tears that were left and sat back down watching her while deep in thought.
( Though we just met I can't help but feel compassion for this girl...never in my life has anyone ever made me feel this way before. How frustrating...)
-A few hours later, Yuki pov-
My eyes flutter open and I'm struck with confusion as I realize I'm in my bed, I was even more confused when I spot Kirito reading a book beside me, he notices my glance and looks up from his book.
"Looks like your finally awake."
I sit up and feel a bit sticky, I had sweated through all of my clothes I look back at him.
"I'm sorry I don't remember anything, how did I get in bed and why am I so sweaty?"
He sighs and places his hand on my head
"Well it looks like your fever finally broke, you had a high fever and were unconscious till now.
I grip the blanket as I remember the moment before I passed out. Then I smile at Kirito.
"Thank you for taking care of me and Kirito...I'm sorry for lying to you about...my brother."
He smirked and shuts his book
"Don't worry about it and I'm sure you have your reasons why you lied about him, but anyways I have been up since yesterday so I'm going to sleep now thank God today is Saturday."
And with that said he walks out and leaves me to myself, I take the opportunity to go take a shower since I had sweat all over me. Once in the shower, my mind was racing.
( He took care of me all night Even when I lied to him...he's a nice guy. How can I ever repay him for such kindness )
Then a different question came to my mind...
"But... I wonder why I got so sick all of a sudden and that pain in my chest hasn't returned so maybe I'm ok now, right?"
