chapter 9

The morning breeze through the curtain of the windows. A girl in her eighteens has woken up from her slumber, that's either because of the exposure from the sun, or the neighbours being too noisy for her ears.

Either way, she fluttered open both of her lilac eyes, as the light struck her from the window in front of her. She covered her face with her blanket, but her arms were weak, it's like her energy drained over.

'Why... do I feel so heavy right now...'

'I can't move... my body.'

'Had... to call... someone for help...'

Kanao tried her best to reach for her phone in the nightstand, and successfully caught it from her hand. She pulled it closer to her and open her contacts, she let her finger hover her phone by itself, and call a random number.

It sooner started to ring.

-

Somewhere in a boarding house were all boys, the noise coming from the television was only heard, and two of the borders are the only awake for the moment.

Zenitsu is already eating his breakfast while watching some morning news. Only to be caught off guard when a phone rings. Because of the ringtone, he already knew whose phone it is.

"Oi Tanjirou, your phone's ringing."

Tanjirou, who has just came out of the shower, walked in to where he left his phone at.

"Who do you think it is?" he asked.

"Just go answer itttt!! Your ringtone suckssss!" Zenitsu annoyingly said.

He got his phone in his hand and looked to see who it is. His eyes widen a bit, "It's junior!" he said, Zenitsu rolled his eyes, "YeAh, iT'S yOuR JuNioR." he sarcastically said.

Tanjirou swiped it right for accept, and put it in his ear. "Good morning~ What's up, Tsuyuri?" he said in an inviting tone. He waited for her reply, since all he can hear is someone breathing heavily.

He starts to get worried, and was about to spoke only to be stopped by her small voice. "Can you.... come.... over?" her weak voice was enough for Tanjirou to clarify what's going on with her.

He accepted it without any hesitations, "Yup I'm free today, so I---"

"WHAG DO YOU MEAG YOU'RE FREE!?" Zenitsu swallowed down his food, before he continues, "DON'T FORGET YOU HAVE YOUR-" Before he can say anything, Tanjirou threw his towel in the blonde's face, "Shut up, Zenitsu." he said while covering the source of microphone of his phone.

"Anyways haha, sorry for the interruption he have made, I'll go there. Isn't Aoi-san there to help you?" he asked in a cheerful but worry state.

Kanao, on the other hand. She was quite shocked that he already knew her problem. "Um... Aoi told me.. she will be visiting her family today, so I'm all... alone." she said.

"Ah, is that so. Alright, I'll meet you there, see you later then."

"Hai... Thank you..." Tanjirou sooner ended the call, smiling.

"Look what the senior has done to his junior. You let her catch a cold." Tanjirou entered his room, and got his self ready, completely ignoring Zenitsu's statement, it is his fault for failing to protect her.

But last night.. They.... They kissed under the rain!

His face up to his ears slowly rised up to heat. He shook his head, trying to conceal the thought away, he's the one who did it..! So why does he feel so embarrassed about it.
