Itachi: kuchiyose no jutsu kohii.

*poof*

Itachi: tengu?

Tengu: kohii is sick. I came to replace her.

Itachi: oh. Is she okay?

Tengu: she got a fever.

Itachi: what? What happened?

Tengu:remember the other time you sent her to send a scroll? She was already sick but she still forced herself to come out. It got worse and now she's down with a fever.

Itachi:kohii...

Tengu:so what did you need?

Itachi: there's a carnival over here. She said before she never gone to one. I wanted to bring her.

Tengu:aww... so sweet... you like her don't you.

Itachi: just bring me to go see her.

Tengu: silence means consent. Naughty naughty.

Itachi: I didn't say anything. Didn't deny. Didn't agree.

Tengu: tsk. How irritating.

Itachi: kohii...

Kohii: baka... water.

Itachi: don't just randomly call people baka.

Kohii: ale... itachi?

Itachi: are you okay?

Kohii: I guess... tired...

itachi: have you eaten any medicine?

kohii: medi...cine? What is that?

itachi: you guys haven't given her anything like that? Than how is she suppose to get better?

tengu: using ninjutsu. But huna-baa is currently out, so for now no one can heal her. She has to bear with it for a while.

itachi pov:

I felt for her head for a while 'its burning really hot.'

kohii: its okay... just a little sleep.

itachi: where can I get some water?

tengu: follow me.

So I went to get some water and a cloth. I dipped the cloth into the water and squeezed it careful not to make it too dry than I placed it on her head. It ached my heart a little seeing her like that. She looked really sick and all the enthusiasm she used to disturb me with was gone.

kohii:cool...ing.

itachi: why push yourself when you cannot? You could have told me you were sick.

kohii: itachi... I wanted to help you.

I patted her head 'well now you're creating trouble. Next time tell me, I will get someone else.'

kohii: but you said its important.

I kissed her forehead gently 'your health are more important.'

she blushed and giggled 'itachi...'

I was going to leave to let her rest when she called me 'where are you going?'

itachi: to let you rest.

She got off her bed. I guess she wasn't really careful and plus the sickness making her weak, she stumbled a little and fell. I caught her nicely in my arms 'I said rest already.'

kohii: lonely... can you stay with me until huna-baa comes back?

I lifted her legs from the floor with one arm and carried her onto the bed. I covered the blankets for her and sat by the side ' promise to sleep.'

kohii: okay...

She finally slept and I guess overlooking her sleep made me tired too and I fell asleep too. My head lay onto the side of her bed while I sat on the chair.

___________________________

Just than I felt a comfortable stroke through my hair... it was... comfortable. I basked in it a little longer. Than I heard a giggle , I woke up and realised the person was kohii. She immediately shrunk her hand back. She blushed deeply and looked away.

I giggled 'what's wrong?'

kohii: you.... woke up?

itachi: why didn't you continue?

kohii: nothing...

I took her hand... so small.. not like my mother's though. Her one was much bigger. I put it by my cheek... she blushed even more... ' i...tachi....?'

itachi: *giggles* kawaii.

kohii: eh....?

I let go of her hand and turned around to leave. After all I only came because I was worried about her. Now that she seems better, I can leave. That was when she hugged me by the back at the waist 'itachi...'

itachi: kohii?

kohii: you will call me again right?

itachi: um. Promise.

Next time I call you... I promise it will be something good.
