The Yandere Cooks for the Villain in Each World

Arc 4 Chapter 18: Undying Love

With a start Jun awoke the next morning, he was confused. 

Again he had dreamed of the warm presence filling up his soul as the lingering scent of florals mixed with spice remained.

Angrily he sat up, he brushed his hand in his hair with frustration. "Why can't I stay awake for a single night?!"

Slowly Jun took in a deep breath before calming his mind. "It will be ok, there's always tomorrow night." 

Although he was still angry at himself for falling asleep he knew that he couldn't do anything about it, instead he swore to succeed the next night.

Like this Jun progressed through his day by sparring, practicing, and then meditating. As the day drew to a close he drank the familiar tea and made sure to spit out the pill.

"This time for sure I won't fall asleep!"

Or so Jun told himself...

Unfortunately the same fate as the first night before happened once again. 

"Pathetic. Why can't I even stay awake for one damn night!?"

"No. No... It's fine. It's fine. Tomorrow night I will surely be able to stay awake the whole night."

Unfortunately for Jun, the same fate befell him again.

Every morning he woke up feeling deeply unsettled and a growing anger, before long a week passed.

This time as Jun opened his eyes to the familiar wooden ceiling rather than anger, confusion filled his mind.

Slowly he sat up as he concentrated on his body.

"To not even be able to stay awake for one night is strange... No, it's not normal, is something wrong with me?" The night before he had even made sure to take a nap during the day to ensure he could stay awake, still like the previous nights before, he had succumbed to sleep.

He remembered back to the time before he became a disciple to S. 

Back then he had never slept that good, oftentimes he would have nightmares or many sleepless nights.

It was only after he became a disciple to S that he became able to sleep deeply every...night...

Suddenly Jun's mind flashed to a strange thought. 

"If Sensei's scent lingers in my dreams, then is she making me sleep?"

"No, it couldn't be..." He knew his Sensei hated him, she didn't want to associate more with him then she had to with training, so what purpose would she have by making him sleep? 

He couldn't think of a single reason, it didn't make sense, still he couldn't fully disregard the idea either...

Something in the back of his mind wouldn't let him.

However if such a thing was true, then how would she be making him sleep?

Thinking about it, he couldn't think of an answer.

He was certain there wasn't any Qi techniques to make someone fall asleep from a distance, not even a dark arts technique. The closest thing he could think of was if someone used sleeping herbs.

However sleeping herbs had to be ingested.

"I've never eaten anything Sensei's made, the only time she gives me something to eat is when she feeds me a refined pill but I always end up spitting it out after drinking the-" Jun's calm eyes widened as something suddenly clicked in his brain.
