The rain is sad, but not an ounce compared to the sorrow I feel right now

"I don't-" *sneeze* "-Need anything, just a sniffle, meow." She sneezed again and then looked at Gaara's hair. "You should really take a bath." She said, trying to change the subject at the same time as wondering why Gaara's hair was covered in dried noodles. Then she sneezed again.

He took his hand and touched his hair, then pulled it away and stared at her. "Don't worry about me, a shower can wait. I need to be sure that your alright."

He thought for a second. "You keep sneezing... are you having a reaction to something?"

"I'm not allergic to anything, meow." *sneeze* "I was just probably outside for too long, cold air and all that." *sneeze* She shook her head twice but this somehow made her extremely tired so she stopped and smiled, pretending like her head didn't ache.

"So your sick," He stated, putting his hand back on her shoulder. "You need to lay down."

"I think she is either sick, but she is more likely that she is allergic to something near here..." Ich stated. Suddenly his wolf paws made handsigns, causing him to go into human form.

"Lay down?" *sneeze* "No, I can't do that." She wiped her nose on her sleeve. "To much to do and I'm sure I'm not allergic to anything, Ichichi-kun." She smiled, but sneezed again.

"Actually, you might be wrong... cats sense of smell is about the same strength as a dogs sense of smell." Ich said nicely

"If your not sick, and your not allergic to anything, then what's wrong?"

Ichi's nose started to twitch and he started to sneeze as well... and again, and again, and again.

He looked at Ichiyashago. "Are you sick as well..?"

Then, his face grew angry. "Did you bring your filthy germs here and infect Neko with them?!"

((ooc: Spazz alert O_O))

"No..." Ich sniffed, "I'm just allergic to those flowers over there" Ich then points to the large row flowers, and then says, "and my nose is sensitive"

"Ah-ah!" She looked back and forward between Gaara and Ichiyashago. "I-I... Um, I'm sure Ichichi-kun didn't bring anything in, meow.. Um.." She looked over at the flowers and took a deep sniff in. Nothing. Then she turned back to the two. "It doesn't matter, I'm completely fi-ACHOO!"

"You are not completely fine, now tell me what's wrong!"

Ich put nose plugs on Neko and put a different set of nose pairs in his nose to prevent him from sneezing.

Suddenly, as if the stopping of sneezing set it off, Neko started to cough. "I'm sorry, Gaara-kun. *cough* I'm sure it's just an itch or something." *cough*

"It doesn't sound like just an itch." He gave her a disappointed look. "You need to tell me what's wrong so I can help."

"Maybe I *cough* *cough* have a small cold. You know, from standing in the rain too long and what not, meow." *cough*

His face turned pained, remembering the reason why she had been standing in the rain. "I'm sorry.."

He shook his head quickly. "Lay down, I'm going to get you some tea. It usually helps with colds, or from what I know, at least.. which isn't much, but it will do."

"No, no, no. Really, I'm fine, meow." Her cheeks puffed up from holding back a cough. "I just need to walk around a bit more, get the 'ol tush in gear!" She tried to smiled but had to shut her mouth to hold back another cough.

"Please don't lie to me.."

She stared down, avoiding his gaze. "Meow..." She coughed again. "Maybe... Maybe if I don't say anything he'll forget and I won't be lying to him either..." She stood stalk still, not saying another word.

He put one hand on her shoulder, lifting her chin up so that she was looking at him. "Neko.."


((ooc: He does that a lot, doesn't he? O_o))

ooc: 4 times and counting... O.o

Her cheeks puffed up, a sign that she was holding back another cough. She slightly parted her lips to say something, but then closed them.

"Please, Neko.."

"Mm." She made the slight noise without moving her lips, but besides that, didn't do anything else.
