Let me check if I own. *checks* Nope don't own

-Chapter 5-

Jinko carefully took the painting out of the box. It was a picture of the three of them playing by a stream. Sigara was watching them with a smile on his face. She ran her fingers on the paint remembering what happened that day.

Jinko P.O.V

"Happy Birthday Jinko!" A younger version of Sano said as he splashed me.

"Its my birthday you jerk your supposed to be nice to me!" I took off chasing him.

"Be nice! Why don't you be nice to me once in a while!"

"Cause your never nice to me!" Suddenly a younger Katsu tripped Sano and Sano landed in the stream. I started laughing at the look on Sano's face.

"That reminds me." Suddenly Katsu pushed me into the stream and I landed next to Sano. Katsu started laughing at the two of us. We both looked at each other and nodded. Right before we pulled him into the stream as well. Suddenly we heard laughing.

We all turned and saw Sigara laughing at the three of us. Katsu suddenly ran up to Siagara.

"Captain they pulled me into the river!" Katsu yelled.

"Really?" Sigara said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yeah. Make them do the dishes tonight"

"Alright. Lets go talk to them." Sigara picked up Katsu and walked over to the two of use who were trying not to look guilty.

"Did you guys pull Katsu in the stream?"

"Yes." We said looking at the bottom of the river. Sigara nodded, Sano and I kept our eyes on the bottom of the river, we looked up when we heard a splash!

It was Katsu. Sigara had thrown him in. He was sitting on the ground laughing at Katsu's face. "Katsu I won't be fair to punish them without punishing you for tripping them."

Katsu as revenge splashed Sigara. Who splashed Katsu, but missed and hit Sano. Who tried to get Sigara but missed and hit me. That ment one thing to use all.

"WATER FIGHT!!!!!!!" I yelled as I sent a wave at Sano.

Normal P.O.V.

I sad smile graced Jinko's face. Maya suddenly walked in with a vase for the flowers.

"Oh, he got you a painting." Maya said.

"Made it himself. He's a painter." Jinko answered.

"Can I see it?" Maya asked. Maybe there was a clue about Jinko in that painting.

"No!" Jinko yelled hugging the painting. "I mean, no. Its kinda personal." She said lowering her voice. Right before she started coughing.

"Now look what you did Jinko. You're going to lose your voice if you keep that up." Before Jinko could respond Maya put her hand on her forehead.

"Your fevers coming back. I think we should take you to a doctor."

"Maya. I'll be fine."

"No I want to know exactly what wrong with you. Get dressed were going to the doctor."

"But-

"No buts now get dressed." Maya them left the room so Jinko could change.

Jinko shook her head in irritation. `I can't believe she's taking me to the doctor it's just a cold. I'll be fine in a week'

Sano was heading back to the dojo. He was looking around for something to eat, and maybe a gift for his friend's birthday. He had no idea what to get Jinko or even what she was like now. Maybe he'd ask Megumi for a gift idea. After all she was the only really woman in the house. He saw someone walk into the dojo wrapped in a blanket with an older woman.

"Damn Megumi has patients." Megumi often had patients come to the dojo if the office was to far away.

Sano walked into the wing where Megumi was working. He overheard her talking to the woman he saw before.

"Ms. Megumi is she going to be alright? Her fever hit the roof this morning." The old woman seemed jumpy. `Maybe the blanket girl is her daughter or something.' Sano thought.

"She'll be alright, Maya. She just needs plenty of rest." Megumi said with a smile.

"Told ya I'll be alright." A voice answered. Sano couldn't see the blanket persons face. But he did recognize that voice.

"Well Jinko, you shouldn't be wandering around at night in a summer kimono you promised to clean!" Maya answered.

`Knew she was gonna get herself sick is she walked around like that.'
