6 Is this really the cold Sakura? P: 2

The next day…

"cough – cough – cough"

"and now, who was the one that said he won't fall for a small thing like a cold?"

"shut up" said Kija as he got up, but Sakura pushed him back to his bed strongly. "your condition does not allow you to get up."

Kija wanted to Argue but his cough stopped him so he gave up. Right now he was bed stuck because of a fever. He really got sick after falling into the river. Well, it was to be expected since it was really cold at night.

"take this" she reached out her hands, there was a pill in her hand.

"is this poison?"

"your imagination sure is big. It's the medicine, you idiot. What a kid"

Kija was tired so he just took the medicine and fell asleep.

It was cold when Kija woke up. There was a towel soaked in water on his forehead, he was on his bed with a high fever. A few seconds later the door opened and Sakura entered holding a pail of water.

"you woke up"

"what time is it?"

"10 o'clock"

[three hours!] Kija seemed surprised then he looked at Sakura suspiciously.

"what's wrong?" asked Sakura

"what were you doing all this time?" he asked

"taking care of you"

"don't lie"

"why would I lie? I was worried about you"

"worried! This is a joke, right?"

"I don't understand what's with you, but if you don't like it, I will go and there will be no one looking after you. The Master and the Miss are outside and the doctor couldn't come. I had to give you medicine and change the water all the time. That was tiring. At least be a little thankful."

[is this really Sakura? It's the same cold voice but it's a little different. To think she was worried about someone… no, no that's impossible] he couldn't believe it but the towel on his head was solid proof, it was really cold which means she was changing it all the time. [That's defiantly not Sakura] he gave Sakura the same look he gave her before.

"what's with that look? It really pisses me off." Sakura complained

"it's nothing" he replied as he turned to face the wall.

Yawn!

Sakura seemed pretty tired as she did not get enough sleep.

"you can go sleep"

"no, there's still so much I have to do. Ah!" she gasped "you did not have breakfast yet. I will make you something"

"I'll come too"

"you don't have to.."

"I am coming"

...

The kitchen was small but it was connected to a huge room with a big table in the center. Kija sat on the table while Sakura entered the kitchen.

The two of them were completely silent. This awkward silence made Kija uncomfortable but he had nothing to say and Sakura was busy enough.

He stole a fast glance at Sakura, she seemed bright. It was strange, this was the first time where the atmosphere between them was this quiet.

"here" she placed the plate in front of Kija, he stared at the omelet in front of him for a while then he started eating but … from the first bite his face turned blue, it tastes HORRIBLE.

"so … how is it" she asked anxiously

"g, good" the words hardly got out of his mouth.

"really! Thank god this is my first time coking" Kija was about to vomit after hearing that but he managed to swallow it.

"first time? Why didn't you say that earlier?" he shouted "ahh… you're rising my fever. Let's go to a near cafe to buy some food"

" so you didn't like it after all." She pouted then she asked, "but what about your cold?"

"I won't overwork myself, don't worry"

She seemed quite unsure so he extended his pinky toward her. She didn't understand and tilted her head in confusion. "what?"

"it's a pinky promise" he said smiling

She tilted her head more trying to understand "what is a pinky…"

"Just give me your finger" he reached his hand and held her finger in a pinky promise.

"see it's easy, if you break a promise you made in a pinky promise you'll be punished."

She kept silent for a moment in surprise then she smiled brightly which surprised Kija since he never saw her smile like that but he kept silent about it.
