Chapter 16:

Drunk Hikaru (part 2)

A jokers world


Hikaru was sick so he took a day off. He was almost in near dead state.And to make it worse no one was there to take care of him.

At academy-

Two girls were walking to their dorm.

"Finally the last class ended" said viola

Viola was the girl who bumped into hikaru on the day of hikaru's exam.

"The vacation is starting from tomorrow right?"  said Fella

"Tomorrow is day off so yes"

They reaches around the corner to make a turn.Viola stops Fella.

"What? is someone there?" 

"Yes"

A teacher comes from the corner. Both of the girls greeted the teacher. The teacher greeted them back and went his way.

"This reminds me, you bumped into a person A few months ago right. How did that happend?"

"I couldn't sense mana leaking from him"

"That's strange."

"I know. You know i am not able to see from the moment i was born but i find a way by using magic.Every thing has mana and they leak it even if it is in small amount.I trace them and form a picture in mind, i can imagine building shape form their emitted mana. Elf, human and some other creatures face and body is difficult to picture, But i can at least clearly sense their presence even if they try to hide it but that man had zero mana leakage."

"Maybe that human had zero mana ."

"No one can have have zero mana quantity in him, even if he can't use magic.He has been in my mind ever since then"

Fella pouted and said

"Forget about him. You are going back to home with me right?"

Viola hugged her and said "Of course"

At Nurses room-

Yuki was looking over the students who were resting and sick.

:creak:

Door opens and Sana comes in.

"Oh! Sana, what happened? Did someone get injured?"

"No, i came to tell you i didn't had any more classes so i am going home to look after Hikaru"

"Thanks. Nor me or aki had free time or could take the day off."

"No problem, i also am worried about him. Then see you at home later"

"Okay bye"

At home-

Hikaru was thirst and the water jug was empty. He heads towards kitchen to fill it, somehow with all his remaining strength he reached kitchen. The world started to spin for him amd he fainted.

When hikaru regained consciousness he was laying on bed.

He sit ups and looks around.

Sana open the door,

"Are you okay now!!! You was unconsciousness in kitchen when i came"

"Th....Thanks Sana. The world was spinning for me and my headache was killing me, but now I am better than before "

Hikaru placed his hands on his stomach and said,

"But i am a little hungry now"

"I did make some light food for you, wait a second I will bring it"

Sana came with rice porridge.

"Can you eat yourself?"

"If I have to say the truth i can't, even moving hand make me more tired"

Sana sits beside hikaru on the bed and fill a spoon with food, cools it and said

"Say Ahhhh"

Hikaru got embarrassed but still did opened his mouth.

Sana realized what she was doing and got red cheeks but she continued it.

After Sana fed it all and was just about to stand up, hikaru said in embarrassment 

"It was like you were my mother hahahaa.... i am all sweaty can you bring me a towel"

Sana left without saying anything. Before she leaved the room hikaru looked at her face, she seemed upset. 

'What happe...wait! I said something in shouldn't have. I was embarrassed from being fed by her and i ran my mouth without thinking.' Thought hikaru

:creak:

Door opens.

Sana came back with towel and some water.

"....sorry about what I said earlier Sana"

She closes the door and comes near hikaru, puts the container in which water was beside the bed.

"Eh?.... why did you closed the door?"

Hikaru's eye falls on the the towel.

"Ah! Thanks for the towel"

She don't hands the towel to hikaru.

Hikaru asked "S...Sana?"

"Strip." Said Sana .

"I...i can clean myself, you don-"

"Strip" Sana repeated.

"O...okay" Hikaru didn't resist anymore.

Hikaru stripped. 

Sana sat behind him on the bed.Sana started cleaning his body from behind.She started from shoulder too waist then she cleaned his arms. Hikaru's heart was beating like a drum.

There was no conversation that whole time.To break the silence Hikaru said

"Hey.....I am sorry for what i said before, i just ran my mouth because i was embarrassed. I should have paid attention to what i was speaking"

Sana sits up on her knee and leans a little bit on hikaru from behind, she started wiping hikaru's collar bone.

Then she put a little of her weight on hikaru's weight, leaned her lips close to Hikaru ear and said

"I don't want you see me as a mother, sister or friend, can't i be something else to you"

She didn't said another word, the room was again filled with silence. Hikaru was finding words to reply with. She finishes wiping the front. She stands up, takes the container and towel, head towards door.

"San-"

"I want to be someone special to you, whom you can rely on"

she Leaves.Leaving hikaru in confusion.

"I...i almost confessed " mumbled Sana after leaving.she was beet red.

The next day was their day off. Yuki took care of hikaru, Sana would come occasionally. Their was awkwardness between them first but they returned to being almost normal.

Hikaru still was in deep thinking regarding Sana's words, but he whenever he tried to talk about it with sana she would leave the room, so he didn't bring it up.

The day after their day off common class had their test. That time hikaru was more nervous than the students. 

The results came after that day, class average score was 87 percentage, hikaru's class score was highest among other classes.

The first thing hikaru did after seeing it was to rush to Takenji's office.

:slam:

Hikaru opened the door.

"Sir!!"

"I know I know.The words flied to me. Your salary will be increased"

"Yesssss!!!!!!!!" Hikaru jumped with excitement.

"But it will be not much, i will raise it more if i see results in the class you are incharge of".

Hikaru accepted it.

The next day he treated all the students of common class to his home made sushi. There was also somewhat progress is the students relationship.
