Shall We Date Ninja Love

Chapter Twenty Eight The Deadly Fever

Narrated by Aki

When I had awoken I was back in my old room in Iga. I slowly sat up looking around the room realizing no one was in the room. I sighed and walked over to my window overlooking the garden. I could see Jen-Jen and Sasuke giggling to each other as he slowly placed a Sakura flower behind her ear.  

Aki: I'm glad they have gotten together.  

I said out loud as I countied to watch them. Goemon suddenly opened the door and walked over to the window.  

Goemon: Since you're playing match maker who are you setting me up with? 

Aki: I'm not playing match mater Goemon. I just saw how Sasuke looked at Jen Jen and though they would be perfect for each other. 

Goemon: And how does Sasuke make a perfect match for Jen Jen? 

Aki: He brings out the side of Jen Jen the side of her she locks away because she feels like if she lets that part of herself out...she will get hurt. 

Goemon didn't say anything about what I had just said. He watched Jen Jen for a moment then turned away from the window.  

Aki: Goemon...did you start having feeling for her? 

Goemon: Naw you kidding! I'm a ninja! I don't need something like that weighing me down. Besides my job is to protect you...  

I smiled then placed my hand on his chest over his heart. 

Aki: You can say anything but your heart will not be deceived so easily.  

Goemon placed his hand over mine and smiled. 

Goemon: Coming from a girl who is pretty much taken. 

Aki: You will meet the right girl for you....For now I am kicking you out of my room so I can change my clothes. 

Goemon: Awe come on! Don't you want a little help talking them off? 

Aki: GOEMON! 

Goemon: Alright I'm leaving! 

Goemon opened the door and Kotaro was standing outside the door with my breakfast. Goemon walked pasted Kotaro and down the hall. Kotaro walked in and placed the small table of food before me. 

Aki: Thanks for the food. 

Kotaro didn't say anything. I looked to his face and his mask and hair was covering his face.  

Aki: Kotaro...are you okay?  

He suddenly leaned forward and landed flat on his face. My heart drop as I reached out to him placing his hand onto my lap. Kotaro was super sweaty I think he was running a fever.  

Aki: RENNOSHIN! 

I screamed out to the top of my lungs. Suddenly a crowd of ninja came pouring into my room. Rennoshin came to my side. He placed his hand on his forehead and checked his plus. 

Goemon grabbed the cup that was on my small table with my breakfast and took a tiny sip and quickly spit it out.  

Goemon: Its poisoned.  

Aki: But Kotaro has checked my water or wine for poison before. Why would it be any different this time? 

Hanzo: It might be a new type of poison we've never seen before.  

Kotaro suddenly gowned in pain.  

Aki: Rennoshin can you help him? 

Rennoshin: Yes I can but I need you to do something for me.  

Aki: Anything! Just please help him! 

Rennoshin: He can't be moved because we don't know what type of poison this might be. He is going to have to be in your care till I can get what I need to help him.  

Aki: That's fine! Please do your best Rennoshin! 

Jen Jen: I'm staying here with you! 

Rennoshin: No I need as many fast ninja to go into the mountains and town to find what I need. 

Goemon: I'm staying here! 

Rennoshin: Goemon I need to you go out into the streets and find out what you can about this poison. If anyone can find out about it, its you.  

Hanzo: Kuma, Lynn stay here and guard the Princess. 

Kuma: With my life! 

Lynn: WHAT?! I'm babysitting again?! What if she runs off like this love bird over here? 

Hanzo: You don't have a choice Lynn. 

Lynn: SIGH, fine! 

Saizo: You don't want her anyways! You just sit around and drink sake!  

Lynn: Don't be jelly I drink you under the table! 

Saizo: You wish! 

Hanzo: Enough everyone talk to Rennoshin what you need to get and move out! 

I leaned my forehead to Kotaro's forehead. 

Aki: I'll protect you with my life...I swear it.
