Hello, peeps and peep-ettes! My name is internal chaos, and I will be your authoress for today. If you would kindly divert your attention downward, you will see the perfect example of what happens when you take a girl from the middle of nowhere who likes to read and show her what fanfiction is. What's that? Is it dangerous? Well, it can be, but we have trained this fanfic, so it is perfectly harmless. So please, read it! And afterwards, if you give it reviews, maybe we'll see some little chapters scurrying around! Won't that be nice?

Disclaimer: The poor fanfiction author is often preyed upon by the much wealthier lawyer-wielding people…

It was a beautiful morning out. A rooster hailed the sun on its daily journey across the sky. Indoors, a young boy expressed his joy at being alive.

"Shit."

Sasuke dragged himself out of bed, cursing when his half-asleep leg gave out underneath him, causing him to plummet to the floor. Stumbling slightly, he made his way to the kitchen. He then made his breakfast, ignoring the destruction he was causing. While picking at his pancakes, he contemplated on how he was feeling. A puddle seemed to be a good description. A throbbing, aching puddle. There was also an orchestra playing in his head, and not a very good one at that. He wanted to shrivel up and die. Screw Itachi. He was miserable.

Sasuke wondered why he was feeling this way. Had he gotten drunk again? No, he hadn't been near any sake since the "incident". Maybe he was sick. Yes, his forehead was a tad warm. Well, nothing a little rest couldn't cure. Yes, peace and quiet, that sounded good. No Naruto screaming in his ear-

"Hey Sasuke, where the hell are you!"

The gods insist on tormenting me.

Birds were chirping. Water was running somewhere in the house, making a soothing noise. Shigure was howling in his ear. It was truly a beautiful morning.

Wait a minute.

Yuki slowly sat up, taking care not to collide with Shigure, who was leaning over his bed. He immediately regretted this course of action, as his head gave an immense throb.

"Wha's wrong, 'Gure?" asked Yuki groggily.

Shigure grinned so widely it looked like his face was about to split in half. "What's wrong? You're missing a beautiful morning, lying there in bed. Shame on you, Yuki!"

Yuki would have taught Shigure the meaning of "pain", but he was in far too much of it himself to do more than wave halfheartedly in his general direction. "Not today, Shigure," he moaned.

Tohru's head appeared in the doorway. "Shigure-san, is Sohma-san awake yet?" She spotted Yuki and noticed he was looking almost as flushed as the time he had walked in on her while she was taking a shower. After checking that all he clothes were on properly, she realized the source of the problem. She rushed to the bedside and put a hand on his forehead. "Sohma-san, you have a fever! Oh dear. You'd better stay home and get some rest."

Yuki was about to agree and kick Shigure out of his room, when Shigure spoke up, dashing any hope of him getting peace and quiet. "Nonsense, Tohru-kun. Yuki needs to get to school. You don't want him to stay in bed and have his brain rot, do you?"

This frightened Tohru greatly. She never knew someone's brain could rot from missing a day of school! "Oh no, of course not! Sohma-san, forgive me, but the fever is mild and you really need to get to school!" Tohru made a mental note to never miss school again.

Kyo appeared in the doorway, yelling as usual and causing Yuki's head to hurt even more. "C'mon, ya damn rat, we're gonna be late!"

The gods insist on tormenting me.

Author's Note: A product of extreme boredom, and the sadistic desire to see someone in pain. Read and review, please!

Edit: Forgive me, wonderful readers. I am suffering from First Fanfic Disease (FFD), which causes me to forget things in my excitement. I didn't want to make Tohru so stupid, I really respect her. Unfortunately, if she didn't say that, I wouldn't be able to put Yuki in the suffering I had planned for him (if you've ever been to school while sick, you know what I'm talking about). I'M SORRY! I DESERVE TO BURN IN HELL!!! *cries*

Also, a big thanks to Lady Rosinsniffer for pointing that out.
