Azmine pushed him away and turned away. "Good." she said as she walked away figuring that was enough to get him hooked. If she couldn't defeat her father, then at least there would be one person in this world that can put him in his place.

He sighed as she walked away.
"How do I let pretty faces keep talking me into these situations. I'm probably gonna cream her old man by accident at this rate," he mumbled to himself.
Once their classes were all finished he made his way home and did his homework as quickly and accurately as he could before running out to the meadow to train a little. He hadn't the last day or so and he would have to make sure that he was in peak form to ensure victory at the tournament. He wouldn't let overconfidence be his undoing. He would train seriously as if he were training for a death struggle.

Azmine pretty much went to work then right to her secret spot. She had been feeling funny all morning since she woke up. Now that the excitement of the tournament wore off she was feeling the full effect of her sickness. The other day when she went to the store and caught what the store keeper had. She had a slight fever but most of all she was just tired. She didn't really care to much about anything else at that point. She just wanted to sleep. She pulled the blankets over her body more and yawn. She fell asleep pretty fast.

Nobu's routine that evening was one of exercises broken up by charging up a ki blast that he used to try and displace the water in the lake all the way over to the other side of the body of water. He had superior vision to humans and already knew that the direction he was facing was clear. In between blasts he would do thousands of handstand push-ups and he would hang from a branch to do sit ups and chin ups.
Once he started to tire, he returned home and washed up a little before going to bed. The next morning he got ready for school and when he made his way there he looked around for Azmine.
"I hope she's alright," he muttered when he didn't see her. "If she wants to compete in the tournament she'll have to keep her mind sharp as well as her body. A sound mine is a sound body is how the saying goes, I think."

Azmine woke up and she really wasn't feeling good. She sat up and she started to get really dizzy. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had to go to school though. She slowly stood up and made her way over to the exit. She was about to climb down but her food missed the step and she went right down with a thud. She often did that so it didn't hurt as much as the last time. She laid their for a little while as she tried to get up but she couldn't. She had a fever and a cold

Nobu was worried and ran off to check for her. Since she had been training with ki manipulation he should be able to sense her life force if even faintly. What if she was in her secret hiding spot though? Would she be mad at him for discovering her secret get away? Oh well, he was too worried for her to care about that right now. She'd get over it eventually if he promised not to tell her mom or anyone else where it is. He rushed straight into the woods and once he was sure that he was out of eyesight he took off and flew straight to where he had watched over her the last two times she had escaped to this place.
"Azmine? Azmine? I followed your ki here. Are you alright? You didn't show up at the school so I was worried! Where are you?"
Then he saw her laying on the ground. He checked her over carefully for anything broken. When he figured it would be safe he picked her up and flew her to his parents' house. He barged in.
"What on earth are you doing here sonny? Shouldn't you both be in school?" his mother asked.
"I made it in time but when Azmine didn't show up I got worried. I found her laying on the ground and she has a fever. I figured she might have a bad cold or something and was hoping since you guys run a store that we might have some medicine in stock that I could pay for so that she could get better?"
The elderly couple smiled between one another.
"Sonny you don't have to pay for medicine. You live here now and you help us out so much. It's the least we can do to repay you for your kindness."
"Azmine? If you can hear me you don't have to do anything other than take this medicine we're about to give ya."
Nobu's dad ran out to the stockroom and grabbed a box of cold medicine. He put two pills in Azmine's mouth with some water as Nobu held her upright and then Nobu massaged it down her throat.

Azmine could feel hands on her body and she struggled slightly till she felt the rush of cold air rush over her body as he rushed her to his house. She leaned into him feeling the coolness against her skin. She then felt him moving her around. She didn't know what they were doing as they pressed pills into her mouth with a little water. She chocked a little as it slid down her throat. She pushed weakly against him. She didn't understand what was going on or what they were doing to her and she was scared.
"Here, lets get her into a bed." his mother said as she opened the door to Nobu's bedroom. "You will have to sleep on the couch tonight." she said as he let him move her into his bed. "Just put her down and back up a bit. Depending on how high her fever is she could be delirious. I want her to stay calm as much as possible." she told Nobu as she ran out of the room and got a few things.
"Your ma here used to be a nurse in an emergency clinic so she knows what she's doing. You, though, have to go back to school. I know you care about your friend but you standing over her wont help. You go and take notes for her." he said as he gently nudged him towards the front door.
She came back into the room and put a cool cloth over her forehead and then a sheet. She put a thermometer under her armpit since she was asleep and he sat on the edge of the bed as she gave her a little examination. "She will be here when you get back in the afternoon." she told Nobu with a smile.

He was going to contest going back to school but he figured it was better if he didn't start an argument with them. It would only cause more stress to Azmine which she didn't need at all right now. He sighed and grabbed his backpack before running out of the house and to the school. He walked into the classroom late for his class and as he went throughout the day he made sure to get all the notes Azmine would need from people he knew that she spoke to.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of the day he rushed out with everything in his backpack and sped off to his house. He took a deep breath before walking in. He set down his bag inside the door and closed it behind himself before making his way into his bedroom to check up on Azmine.
"How is she? She doing any better?"

His mother looked up at him as he entered his bed room. Azmine was still asleep and she had a few blankets on her. "Yeah, her fever lowered a bit but I'm still watching her. She's just finished eating a little bit and that should help her. She still needs a little bit of rest though. So why don't you go do your homework. I'm going to call her mother and let her come get her. I'm sure she's worried about her." she said as she walked towards the door.
Az grabbed her shirt before she could get to far. "No... Please." she pleaded to her. She still didn't want to go home. She knew that her father was home and she was mad at him. Every time he came home she wouldn't stay their anymore. Ever since he decided ditching her for a promotion gig was more important then seeing his daughter.
"I'm sorry sweety. I have to. I know I would be mad at the women who kept my daughter at her house without letting me know. I will let her know your welcome to stay here but what she does is her decision." she told her as she softly pet her head before she left.
Azmine started to cry a little bit. She hated her family and how they weren't there when they needed. The only cared about their reputation and getting her married to further their status in life. She started to panic and she pulled the blankets off. She wasn't just going to sit there and let this happen. She struggled to sit up and she looked around for her shoes.

Nobu rushed to her side when he heard her rustling around in the bedroom.
"What are you doing Azmine? You have to rest. If you don't get your rest you'll get worse. I'm sure we can talk your family into letting you sleep here for the night since my mom was a nurse. She can watch over you for the night and make sure you get better and we'll tell them that if they move you around now outside you might get a chill and get full blown pneumonia instead of just a cold."
He folded his arms across his chest as he watched her.
"Please just relax. We care about you. I care about you. Just relax and let us help you get better. Besides as OCD as your mom is I'm surprised she hasn't put out an APB with the local police stations filing it as a kidnapping or something by now."

Az looked up at him when he started talking. She knew that talking to her really wouldn't help. "No, I do this all the time. She leaves me alone when my father is around and he's around...." she said as she trailed off at the end. She struggled to move around but it just used to much energy that she didn't have and she ended up falling forward onto his shoulder. She panted heavily as she leaned her full body into him. She whimpered as she felt tears just slipping down her cheeks. "Please... Don't..." she begged as her eyes closed and she passed out on him.

He sighed as she fell into him and muttered those words. She needed him now and he'd be damned before he'd let her down. he had to do something and quick. he knew his mom and dad would be upset but they would eventually get over it. He wrapped her up in a couple of blankets and scooped her up from the bed and flew out of a window with her slowly so as not to create too much of a draft. He landed at her secret hideaway and tucked her safely inside and sat with her.
"My parents and yours are gonna be sssooo pissed," he mumbled.

She slept for a few hours before she started to wake up. Her fever broke but she was still rather out of it. She blinked a bit and looked around her secret base. She was so confused till she saw Nobu. She quickly sat up and regretted it soon after when her world started spinning. "Wh-what? How did you know about this place?" she asked slightly annoyed because now she didn't have a secret place to hide away anymore.

"This is where I found you, remember? Now that you've been building up your ki I can sense your life force from a distance to track you down in dire situations. This morning you weren't at the school so I worried and tracked you down to this place and found you unconscious on the ground. I was scared to death so I rushed you to my place since I knew you didn't want to go home."
He looked down at her with a worried expression.
"Did you hit your head and have amnesia?" he questioned. "Anyway you don't have to worry about it. I promise not to tell anyone about this place. Everyone needs their own little secret base."

"No, I think I'm fine. I just can't really get a good grasp on focusing. I guess I still have a little fever or something." she told him as she rubbed her face a little with her hands. She felt grouse and wanted to take a bath, or a dip in the river near by, but she wasn't sure she could make it there and back. She let out a soft sigh. She really didn't want to ask him for help but she wasn't sure she wanted to ask that. He wanted to date her and all so he might take it as an advance on him and she didn't want to give him any mix signals.

He knelt down in front of her and placed the back of his hand to her forehead.
"You feel a bit warm to the touch. Did you want me to go get some water from the nearby river? You have a cloth around here and bucket to fill? I could go fetch and give you some privacy so you can wipe yourself off and cool down? I promise not to peek."
He smirked at her before spinning his head left and right looking around for the things he would need to help her.

She shook hear head. She didn't want to do that. She rather sit in the water. "I will just go in the river. Will be faster and take less energy.... Kinda anyway." she told him as she threw the blanket off of her body. She let her feet slip to the ground. She looked over at him then looked around the room. She then found her bathing suit and stood up. She retrieved it before looking at Nobu. "Out...." she said with a slight glare.

He chuckled before floating down to the ground. He faced away from the tree house before calling up to her.
"Do me a favor and yell when you're decent again? I'll help you down there and promise not to try anything frisky like untie your bikini."
He smirked as he waited for her to call down that she was ready so he could sneak a peek at her swimsuit.

She shook her head as she slipped into her bikini. When she was done she put on a long shirt. She looked down at him and sighed a bit before she jumped and floated down. She landed a little rough because of her exhaustion but she staid on her feet. "I got this." she told him as she slowly made her way towards the river. She could feel that her body wasn't 100% just yet so it fought her a bit as she made her way.
In minutes they were there and she was panting softly. She didn't stop till the water was deep enough that she could sit down and relax in the warm water. Because it had been a very warm day the water was rather warm itself. It felt nice on her body. she rested back into a tree root as she calmed down.

He smiled nervously at her as she landed next to him in her bikini. He stayed close as they made their way down to the water and didn't relax until she was sitting comfortably in the water. He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mind if I join you?" he questioned.
He didn't have to be shy around her. She had already seen his prosthetic and seen what kind of freakish powers he had when she decided to ignore his request during the fight with that alien outside of the village.

"Just don't bother or splash me." she told him not really caring if he did or didn't. She yawned softly as she let a smile appear on her lips. She felt so much better now that she was cleaner and the water was helping her aching muscles relax too.

He took off his shirt, shoes and socks before stepping out onto the water. It actually appeared as if he was walking on the water. Once he got out to where it was deep enough he pretended to press an imaginary button and held his breath as he slowly sank into the water as if he were in an elevator. He hoped she was watching. He wasn't trying to show off. He just wanted to get her to chuckle or at least crack a smile because of him. He felt that all this time that he had been spending with her other than the training lessons and even a little then that he was more so unwanted company.

She shook her head as a small smile appeared on her lips. "You are a dork sometimes you know that?" she said not really expecting an answer. She let her eyes slip close but as soon as she heard a ruffle in the woods she was standing up and her attention was in that direction. She saw light coming first before two people stepped forward.
"I am done with you Azmine! I am sick of your stupid antics and how childish you act when serious matters are brought to attention. This is your uncle. You are going to move in with him and be his problem." she said as Az's eyes meet his uncle he got a rather bad feeling. He had a mischievous look in his eyes, like he was up to something.
"I'm eighteen now mom. I can do as I please!" she said as she backed away. Her uncle stepped forward and she ran over to Nobu. "You said you were a wanderer right? Well take me out of this place please..." she begged. She feared what that man would do to her if he ever got his slimy hands on her.

He looked between the three of them before wrapping an arm around her and taking off from the water, causing a large splash of water to douse her mother and the man next to her. As he flew he cradled Azmine tightly in his arms.
"I can take you to your father if you like? If he's a good fighter like you are I should be able to sense his ki. Or do you think he would turn you over to your mother and uncle?" he questioned as he flew. "By the way have I told you yet that you look beautiful in that swimsuit?"

She slapped him up side the head before she shook her head. "No, he loves my mother and I would never want to put him into that situation." she told him with a sigh as she leaned into him before she pushed him away and started to fly on her own. She had a small blush on her face when she made the realization that he was caring her and they were so close. She was starting to act like a girl.
She did feel bad though. She was leaving her friend Rose alone but there was nothing to be done. She just wanted to get out of this place as fast as she could.
