Chapter 1

Sun poured in through the curtains; looking beside me I realized Tohru wasn't there. Panic flooded me, I got up and started down the hall, heading towards the bathroom. Along the way I kept telling myself that she was ok, that shed probably fallen asleep. Knocking, I pressed my ear to the door. Heavy breathing and the sound of someone crying whilst being sick floated towards me! Opening the door I peaked around the edge. A small petite figure was sat in front of the toilet; I could see a small silhouette in the dark shivering. Tohru! Once again panic arose within me, curling around me like a tongue. Rushing forwards I moved her hair out of her face and rubbed her back. Mt heart broke as she half sobbed throwing up; this woman had captured my heart. When Akito found out she started torturing Tohru for three month's; I pleaded with Tohru to say that she didn't love me, I pleaded with Akito to stop. Akito continued but Tohru never gave up. Not on us, not on me, not on Akito, not on the whole family.

Finally Akito stopped and told us that she would allow us to stay together under one condition. That she would become a member of the juunishi! I didn't know what she was on about at first, I didn't know that she could do what she did. None of us did. I really thought that she had gone mad when she told us.
"If your going to be together then your going to have to be infused with the dragon of the curse; you will both be little, puny, insignificant seahorse's! That is the only way I will allow this relationship happen."

Tohru had agreed enthusiastically; I felt awful, but Tohru just smiled and said it was ok.
" Its ok. I want to do this. I want to be with you forever. I love you Haa-chan."
After a little while I finally relented, because if she didn't then we both would have been heart broken. That was a couple of months ago; and now she was ill. Kami! Were we ever going to get a break? My mind flew back to the present as Tohru fell backwards onto me.

Tohru's pov.

Falling backwards I expected to hit the floor. Instead two arms wrapped around me, and pulled me onto some ones lap! Instantly I knew it was Hatori, I felt safe and comforted.

"How do you feel love?" Looking up I saw the worry in his eyes.
"A bit tired, dizzy I guess, and sick." I told him honestly, knowing that if I didn't he wouldn't be pleased. Snuggling into his chest he cupped my cheek, rubbing it with his thumb.
"Alright, it's ok. I'll look after you." I nodded and whispered thank-you. His words meant the world to me.

Everyone's pov.

Hatori placed a damp, cool flannel on her forehead, and carried her back to their room. Placing her under the covers he climbed in beside her. She snuggled back into his chest, with one hand rubbing her stomach.
"Tomorrow the furthest you're venturing is the sofa downstairs." Hatori spoke softly, knowing that she would understand that he had her best interests at heart.

"Ok. Thank-you."

"Your welcome." A companiable silence stole over the two. Tohru started feeling worse and worse, tears streamed down her face as the dizziness increased slightly. Hatori pulled back slightly in alarm, looking into her tear filled eyes.
Hugging her he squeezed her gently; she clung to her until the pain became unbearable- then POOF!
In place of Tohru there was a small seahorse!
"Oh Tohru sweetheart." Gently Hatori lifted her up, a sad smile caressed his features.

Taking her into the bathroom Hatori started running some warm water for a bath. Locking the door he proceeded to find her towel. Once he got every thing ready Hatori checked the water to make sure it wasn't to hot. Once he was happy he placed her into the bath kneeling down beside her.
"Why do I want to rap around some thing?" Tohru asked. Although you couldn't tell a small blush coloured her cheeks.

"That's natural. Seahorses rap their tales around something so they don't drift off." Hatori reassured offering her his hand. Shyly Tohru curled her small tail around his little finger, he chuckled rubbing her side with his thumb. Tohru closed her eyes sighing happily.

Hatori's pov.

To say the least I was worried, none of the rest of us turn into our zodiac animal that quick. The poor girl was so shy, hesitantly she wrapped her tail around my finger, this was her first time of being this small. At school she tended to stay away from all guys as much as she could apart from Yuki, Kyo, Hatsuharu and Momiji. They all stayed as close to her as they could once I asked them to. Really I knew that I didn't have to, but I just wanted to make sure she was ok, I knew they would look after her without being asked. She was so careful, and tried to make sure that she avoided all the crowds. I tried to help her relax, the best way to do that I found was to bring Shigure and Ayame with us. They kept her laughing, and her mind occupied. She would just keep babbling to me, I went along with whatever she wanted to talk about if it would help. But there want much I could do now; I couldn't take her out. She was ill; it wouldn't be fair to her.

"Tohru are you ok?" I asked looking at her closed eyes, as I kept petting her.

"Yes. Thank-you." Her voice was small and soft.

"It's alright. Calm down, every thing will be alright."

"I know but im causing you so much trouble, and im so sorry." Her eyes were open now and I could tell she was crying.

"Don't be sorry, you're not causing me any trouble at all." Lifting her out of the water, I lifted her up to my cheek, she cuddled up to me close, I smiled slightly.
" Thank-you." I just kept rubbing her side.
