Hanako, Kou and Yashiro agreed on having an alternate schedule of plans after school. One day, they would look at what Tsuchigomori and Yako are up to or just have a break. A day after that, they would clean the bathrooms with Hanako. Today, they were cleaning the bathroom in the old building of the school.

Yashiro drowsily picked up the mop and dipped it in water as she dragged it back and forth the hard bright wood floors. The floors got shinier and cleaner each time she dragged it across. 

The blonde boy on the other hand, was wiping the windows with a small rag in his hand while his other hand held the wall keeping him from falling over since he's on his tiptoes to reach the higher parts of the window. 

Hanako was floating around and about watching leisurely as Kou and Nene tiredly clean the dark bathroom.  His hat fell off onto the floor as he slowly turned upside down with his feet in the air as he kicked them back around to where it's supposed to be located. 

Yashiro always hated it that Hanako wouldn't ever at least help that just a bit. It was always Kou and Yashiro cleaning, never Hanako with those two.

Back at the office because I don't wanna make an essay on why Yashiro hates cleaning
Tsuchigomori POV

Tsuchigomori held the medicine container as he shook out one of the medicines and put the rest in the bottle. He put the medicine on the table as he went to go fetch a glass of water to make the medicine go down easier. 

As he was walking to the cafeteria to get water, his mind was off somewhere else. Wouldn't she just be fine after a while without all of this? Why am I making all this effort for Yako to get better? He thought curious of  his actions. 

He walked down the short ramp to get into the cafeteria, reached deep into his pocket to find some money and bought a bottle of water. Tsuchigomori walked up the stairs back to his office, returning with the water. He grabbed the medicine and the water and lightly shook Yako to wake her up.

"Yako wake up you have to take your medicine" He told her, as Yako made a small "hm?" noise as she was confused since she just woke up and is still sleepy.

Tsuchigomori handed her the medicine and the water bottle and walked back to his desk as she sluggishly put the medicine in her mouth and drank a bit of water, swallowing both the medicine and the water

Tsuchigomori's mind still wondered the same questions of why he was doing this, but no matter how much he asked himself, he couldn't seem to find the answer.

why?

Tsuchigomori was doing his work slowly and unproductively because he wasn't thinking straight. His hand laid on top of the paper with a pen in his hand as he stared blankly into the homework he had to grade. The ball point pen glided across the thin light paper so gracefully as if it was dancing. Tsuchigomori softly slid the pen from one place to another so elegantly, that just writing was breath taking. 

One after another, the pile of the papers became shorter in length and thinner... and thinner.. After a while, the pile was completely gone. As he was almost done marking the final paper, he recalled. "Ugh, what time is it?"  he thought, tired from his work, how long has he been doing this again? 

He looked at the clock above on the other side of the dark room, the hands signified that it was already 4:30pm "Ah.. Almost time for the students to go out" he thought in shock. I should check up on Yako by now..

He looked over to the right, towards the window. The warm orange gaze seeped in through the curtains, lighting the area up with a soft gorgeous aura of warmth instead of it's usual blinding light. In the chair, Yako was resting as the sunlight brightened her face as it shined. Her light hair glowed as the flecks of gold shined onto her hair and reflected it's beautiful color in a pleasing way, as the dark cold evening awaits after. 

Tsuchigomori gazed at Yako for a brief moment. How the light illuminated her face, how it made her appearance glow, it was astonishing, lovely if you could say so.

He quickly shook it off and pushed his chair a bit as it scratched the hard food floors and stood up, gathering the papers and organizing them according to the class so they wouldn't get mixed up later on. He caught a glance at Yako and remembered that he has to check on her. "I'll do it after this" he put it off for later.

He stuffed all of the papers carefully into a couple binders so that he won't loose them. He put it softly into the shelf behind him and approached Yako. "Ne, Yako" he called to her trying to wake her up as he bent over here

Only a small hum escaped from her lips as she stretched slightly, eyes still mostly shut. "How are you feeling?"

Yako yawned in response, and Tsuchigomori gave up quickly and turned around. '"Alright... if you need anything just tell me" He walked back to his desk, planning the lesson plan for the next week, as today was a Friday.

Tsuchigomori was glad the weekend was coming up because that meant that he didn't have to do much work for a few days and he doesn't have a lot of classes on Mondays. Pretty soon there was going to be a break anyway as Christmas Break was around the corner. However, the Christmas Break was only going to be very short-lived. 

Tsuchigomori got the half empty water bottle from earlier, and a different medicine this time and prepared it for Yako. He realize that he's gonna need to buy a new water soon because this one is already almost empty. The water in the bottle reflected flecks of gold from the window across the room, bolts of light jumping onto the walls.

He put the medicine and water next to Yako, and when he was about to walk out, he remembered something. He quickly tugged the drawer in his desk so fast that the things inside shaked a bit. He grabbed a pen and a bright neon colored sticky note and quickly wrote a note for Yako that he'll just go get something if she wakes up. He got the sticky note and put it with the medicine and the bottle, and walked out of the door, back to his boundary to get more books since he had to watch Yako, he couldn't do much.
