The Land of Tea: Welcome Home Haruka (Shizuke)

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I sighed.
"I think so." I said, still rubbing my ankle, one hand holding it.
"It still hurts from yesterday. So I think I'll be limping around a bit." I said. Yuo pulled me up, holding me up and I put minimal weight on my ankle.
"Oh god that hurts!" I exclaimed.
"I was so stupid to think hanging from a window was safe." I mumbled. Yuo moved over by Haruka.
"I think she'll be fine. Just as long as she doesn't walk around on it all the time." he said to her.
"Or at least I hope."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka came over to SHizuke, trying to get a closer look at her injury. She placed on hand on it carefully, not wanting to cause her any pain. It felt swollen, which ment she had definetly twisted it or something. "I would suggest you ice it to bring down the swelling and then wrap it for compression." she said, standing back up. "The compression will also keep it so that it is strait and that way their will be less chance that it rolls again and you hurt it worse." she looked up to Yuo. "COuld you get her to couch so that we could do that? If we get it done quickly, the injury will recover more quickly."

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I shrieked as Yuo picked me up quickly. I clung to his neck, wincing slightly as he put me down on the couch.
"Fine, fine. But then you two leave me alone unless I really need your help." I said.
"I don't want to ruin your day with each other. I can take care of myself as long as I'm careful." I said. Yuo sighed and rolled his eyes.
"LEt's just get her eyes and wrap her ankle up and then let's go do something." he said.
"She's going to be a major pain." he mumbled.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka sighed, a slight tinge of blush appearing on her face as she walked past the two of them and into the kitchen to grab a sack of ice. She quickly came back and handed it to Shizuke. "Here, put this on and then i'll wrap your anke as soon as you are sure that it feels numb enough for me to do so." she left her hand extended until Shizuke was to take the ice from her hand, but looked at Yuo. "She'll be fine, Yuo. It's only a twisted ankle. Don't freak out."

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I put the ice on my ankle and winced.
"Oh that freezing cold!" I exclaimed. Regardless of how cold it was I kept it on my ankle, feeling my ankle already start to numb out.
"Can you just wrap it now Haruka? I'm impatient." I said.

Yuo lookd at Haruka.
"I'm not freaking out!" he exclaimed.
"I'm just worried about my little sister. She after all, did fall from a top window and then her ankle gave out. Who wouldn't be worried?" he asked.
"I love my sister, and she rarely ever gets really hurt, so I'm concerned."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka scowled at Yuo before she took a wrap from one of the draws of the coffee table and walked to SHizuke to wrapp her ankle, as requested. "Well, you don't have to go and be all negetive about it, then." she told him. " 'She's going to be in major pain,' isn't exactly the best thing to say when your sister is hurt. It puts ideas in peoples heads that nothing will get better." she looked back to her work and began wrapping the wrap skillfully around her ankle.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I winced.
"Ouch! Be gentle please!" I begged, holding the ice just inches away from my ankle.

Yuo crossed his arms.
"How about we drop the subject? WE're going to start arguing and I don't want to argue." he said. Yuo hung his head.
"And I really don't want to start off on a bad foot right now. I already said I want this to be a good day, and I'm sure you don't want to end up sore again, or with another pinched nerve." he said. He smiled a bit.
"I love you Haruka-chan." he said.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka slowed down slightly on her wrapping, her face still turned down in a frown of consentration. She finally finished it off, making sure it was thick enough to support her ankle from it rolling sideways and getting hurt again. "Keep it iced, and rested. Try not to move around to much." she said, almost like a doctor giving orders to a patient.
"I... love you too Yuo..." Haruka said quietly, not looking up. It was embarssing to say it in front of his sister, not to mention strange. It was his sister.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I nodded and put the ice back on my ankle. It hurt and I was sure that the bandage was going to leave a mark on my ankle after this.

Yuo smiled and he walked over to Haruka and took her hand.
"Let's go wander and do something now." he said.
"I'm eager to go run around with you, since you can run around more now." he said.
"Let's go! I promise I'll take it easy and not run so fast, or try my best to not." he said, chuckling a bit.
"I'm just eager."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka looked up at Yuo, surprised as to what his idea was for their first activity of the day. "Runnig?" she asked curiously. "Uh... i guess... that would be alright..." she said quietly, squeezing slightly on his hand. "We'll see you later Shizuke. Hope your ankle feels better..." she gave Yuo a gentle tug as she started walking towards the door. "And good luck working on Haruhi's wedding." she added over her shoulder. She looked up to Yuo, and gave a light smile. "So, anywhere in particular you'd want to go?" she asked him.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

"Everywhere!" he exclaimed as he took off, flipping forward and landing nicely upright. His hair had fallen out of the ponytail and it now hung down by his shoulders.
"I want to go around this entire village and then we can just relax. I want to tucker myself out." he said.
"And I want to run so i'm in a shape more, and it'll get you back nicely too." he added.
"But wait, do you want to run around? Or would you prefer just to kick back so you don't hurt your knee again? I don't want to have you hurt again."

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka laughed, jogging to catch up to him after his little antic of a flip. "No no no." she assured him. "It's perfectly fine. I promise." she smiled to him prepared to start running as soon as he was ready. "Just take it a little bit easy. I'm not quite as built for running fast as you are."
Hastily, she took her hair tie off of her wrist and strung it messily to hold back her hair in a neat pony tail behind her shoulders. "You need to run off in a sprint first?" she asked, recalling the last time they had run.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo bolted in one direction, then bolted back to Haruka, still jogging on the spot.
"Come on! Before I end up falling." he said. He turned and jogged forward, motioning for her to hurry up.
"Hurry up Haruka-chan!" he exclaimed.
"Not time to waste! The day is only day for so long!" he exclaimed, laughing.

I peered out the window at the two, leaning against the window sill so I didn't put any weight on my ankle. I had to admit, I missed running with Yuo, but I knew I'd be able to run with him again soon.

[Haruka Kunimitsu]

Haruka rolled her eyes as he came back, jogging in place as he waited for her. Without responding, she took off ahead of him, as fast as she could go, at least as fast as she could go and keep that constant pace. This was close to about 7 or 8 miles an hour. For a normal person, this was close to a sprint. For her, it was a jog. She turned to looked back at him, running backwards. "Well, you coming or not?!" she yelled back, laughing at him in the same mocking way he had just done to her a few moments ago. "Come on! Come on!"

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

Yuo was confused for a minute and then he stumbled and crashed, rolling for a minute and stopping a few feet away.
"Hey!" he yelled.
"You said take it easy!" he exclaimed. He rubbed the back of his head and winced slightly.
"Stupid me, loosing concentration." he mumbled. Now his back and neck hurt and he began to rub the back of his neck. He could feel the dirt and dust from when he fell, and he could feel the blood dripping from the scraps on his knees.
'How could I be so stupid as to loos concentration?' he thought.
