07: Hiro's Great Escape

Hiro's Great Escape

~*~

Hiro sat down in front of his computer for the entire night. His brain was conjuring some devious plans to escape Darius and go to the trip without any disturbance because once Darius knows about this, he will sent some men to look out for him.

That night, Hiro took a hot bath for thirty minutes, soaking his body in hot water to make his body warm up. He endured the prickling pain he felt when his flesh made contact with the hot water. After that, he dried himself and went to sleep.

Before Darius could barge into his room and wake him up, Hiro took another hot bath. It was still five in the morning so there is still one hour before Darius could get in and wake him up. When he was done, he quickly dried himself up and fetch a glass of hot water and put it on his bedside drawer. 'For safety precautions!'

He jumped to bed and tested his body temperature by putting his hands on his face. When he felt that the temperature of his body was warm enough, he quickly covered himself with the thick sheets. He looked at the clock on his bedside drawer and saw that it was just time before Darius could get in.

A few minutes later, Darius went inside and saw his young master still fast asleep on the bed seeing that his whole body was still underneath the sheets. He neared him and slowly patted the sheets.

"Young master? Its time to wake up." Seeing that this young master didn't budge, Darius lifted the sheets only to see Hiro panting sickly.

When Hiro felt that Darius had slowly lifted the sheets he quickly put up the drama of a feverish person. He frowned and panted heavily. With the help of the thick sheets, sweat begun running down his body soaking the bedsheets. Upon seeing this state of helplessness of his young master, Darius was worried! This was the first time that he saw this young master of his got a fever!

"Young master? Are you alright?" Darius asked. His tone was obvious of being worried. "I'll go get the thermometer." Darius added and went out to find a thermometer.

The helpless image of Hiro quickly vanished when Darius was out of sight. He quickly jumped from his bed and grabbed the glass and filled it with hot water from the shower. He put it beside his bed and jumped back, just in time that Darius went back inside his room with a thermometer in hand. Layla was also following behind him with a basin and a towel.

"Let me check your temperature young master. You might be running a fever." Darius stated.

He put the thermometer to his mouth and waited. Seeing that Darius wouldn't leave his sight from him, Hiro raised his hand and pointed to the wall and screamed.

"Aaahh!! Look! Look! A big spider! I'm scared of spiders!" Hiro screamed which made the two looked at where he had pointed.

"Where?!" Darius asked in panic.

And in a quick move, Hiro dipped the thermometer to the hot glass of water on his bedside table and put it back to his mouth again.
