Kyo walked into the dining room sleepy eyed as normal, expecting to see Tohru and Shigure already extremely perky. This thought however, was incorrect. The room was empty. Puzzled he went back upstairs to check if anyone else was even awake. His anger grew as each room he checked was empty, Yuki's room – empty, Shigure's room – empty.
His fury grew immensely as he approached Tohru's room, but the moment he slid open the door his anger subsided. Tohru lay on her bed, her face red and her cheeks stained with tears and sweat.
"What's wrong with Tohru?" Kyo yelled upon entering the room.
"Tohru-kun has an extremely high fever and it is quite painful for our Tohru." Shigure said while placing a fresh damp clothe on her forehead.
"Call Hatori!" Kyo insisted
"We already did and he's on his way, so sit down cat and calm yourself." Yuki stately calmly, but his eyes said he was anything but calm himself.
Kyo wanted to state his unlike for Yuki's use of "cat" but, Tohru's sickened condition stopped him. He knelt down by her bed like Shigure and Yuki.
When Hatori showed up, he asked Yuki and Kyo to leave the room. Neither boy wanted to leave her side but did upon order. Kyo paced the hallway as Yuki stood against one wall. Kyo knew that Yuki was also very worried, but Kyo didn't care, all he wanted was for her to be alright. Kyo couldn't even think what he'd do if this fever became serious and she died. He had begun to become a better person because of Tohru. He adored her and was extremely scared that she didn't feel the same way, but none the less, at the moment the only thing that was important was her health.
Suddenly footsteps could be heard from down stairs. "Yuki?" called Haru. Following Hatsuharu, was Momiji, Kisa, and Hiro.
"What are you all doing here?" Yuki asked greeting them
"Is Onee-chan alright?" Kisa asked frightened
"Yes we heard that Hatori was coming here to help Tohru, is she okay?" Haru asked.
"She has a bad fever, and she's in pain, but other than that, I can't say" Yuki answered.
"Poor Tohru!" Momiji cried out.
"Hey, don't you have to be at school?" Kyo interrupted, accusing Haru.
"Don't you?" Haru snapped right back, the two stared at each other but dropped their thoughts of a brawl, knowing well it wasn't the time or place for one.
A noise from inside Tohru's room made all the zodiac children turn to face the room as the door slid open
By the way, I don't own these characters, and I do have a habit of putting my own spice into them, so if they're not quite like the manga or anime, I'm sorry, but I hope you enjoyed! Please review!
