Endless Determination

Chapter 24: Wounded body

      " You should go back to your room and rest Luna." Master seems to be worried about me but I shake my head." No, I'm okay. I want to learn more." My body is shining and weak as I stand." I mean, it's possible to continue if you feel you won't hurt yourself...but, if you hurt yourself you will have to wait longer to try again. Go take a nap at least and once you've settled down come back to my office." I try to refuse again but Kuran puts his hand on my shoulder stopping me." Pleases Luna...I will worry about you if you don't get better soon." I sigh and try to relax my body." Well, I guess a relaxing bath and a quick nap couldn't hurt." Kuran smiles and I see his tail wag but then he quickly stuffs it back into his shirt." Okay. Thankyou, Hiyogi...we'll be in our room...don't bother to stop by if you need us." Kuran was acting normal around Master."I wonder why that is." I think to myself as I wave to master and am lead down the hall by Kuran. Once we got back in the room Kuran kept offering me things." Do you want me to start your bath? Or..or...make you something to eat? Oh! I can make your bed for you too!" Kuran seemed so worried about me, I felt bad making him worry like that." No, I can do it my-" Kuran was already in the bathroom starting the water." I-I said I can get it," Kuran only smiles at me and walks up to me, I eventually blush at how close he was as I felt his forehead touch mine." No fever, that's good." I look at him in a bit of shock, I thought he was gonna try to kiss me again. And then I felt stupid for wanting him to and blushed a bit harder." N-no...of course not, I said I'm fine." Kuran ignores me trying to tell him I'm just fine because he can easily see past my lies, even from the first time I met him." I'll make you some food while your in there, take your time just don't fall asleep. If you need anything just call me." I tried to stop him from treating me so kindly but before I could speak he shut the door and I was alone." I sat there thinking to myself and regretting having Kuran help me with such tasks. I slowly got undressed, thinking about Kuran." It's so warm and relaxing," I thought as I slipped into the water-filled tub." And it smells like...tea?" I close my eyes and relax in the water feeling my body slowly healing from its psychotic breakdown. After about 40 minuets I stepped out and grabbed a towel. Not having any clothes to change into I shrugged and walked into the living room with only a towel hoping Kuran wouldn't notice me.
