Dear diary,
Today I can tell is going to be a great day. Yuki promised to go with me to have a picnic by the lake. Kyo insisted on coming too, and Shigure decided to come as well. Maybe Yuki and Kyo can get along for once while we're out. I can't wait..
Tohru wrote in her diary, already dressed, basket sitting by her feet.
"Achoo!" Tohru jumped when she heard the sneeze from the hallway. She looked out to see Kyo was standing in the hall, rubbing his runny nose.
"Kyo, are you alright?" Tohru asked.
"I'm fine," Kyo responded, sounding a bit congested. Feeling concerned, Tohru put a hand on his forehead.
"Oh! You feel a little warm Kyo! I'll go get the thermometer." Tohru said as she ran off to go get it. She could here Kyo grumble something as she ran off. As she went down the hallway, she passed Yuki's room. She peered in to see if he was still asleep. He was, but his face was flushed and he sounded like he was wheezing. "Is he sick too?" she wondered. Then she passed by Shigure's room. He was also asleep. Well, he looked fine. That's good. She found the thermometer and found Kyo again. As she took his temperature, he continued to grumble. When it beeped she took it out and looked. 100.2. Well, thankfully it was low. But this meant he had a cold. "We'll have to call off the picnic," said Tohru, disappointedly. Seeing her upset made Kyo quickly shake his hand.
"No!" he said. "There's no need to do that! I'm fine," he assured her. "We can still go."
"Well, I don't want you getting worse," Tohru said. "Plus, I think Yuki's getting sick. Kyo peered into Yuki's room to see what Thoru saw.
"Yeah, I guess your right." he sighed. Tohru entered Yuki's room with a thermometer you put in the ear and gently stuck it in, to not wake him. When it beeped, she checked it. 103.1?! How could it have gotten this bad overnight? Wait...she knew how. The other night it had been raining and Momiji had come over. He had started playing tag with them and cried when Kyo said no. He then had run outside in the rain and Yuki and Kyo had gone to get him. They wet gone for a good hour while Shigure stayed in and made dinner. She could remember them coming in completely wet. They had both bathed and immediately went to bed. now that she thinks about it, Shigure went to bed soon after too actually. He said that meat had gone bad and that he was too tired to cook something else. So Tohru has simply made some onigiri to eat and some Mochi for them, they wouldn't be able to go anyway, it was still raining.
"Well, be sure you don't catch it either," Kyo told her.
"I'll be fine," Tohru assured him as she wrapped a mask around her mouth and nose. She then picked up the phone to call Hatori. He told her that he'd be there as soon as he wakes up Momiji. so Tohru parked herself in front of the door to wait for him, sitting Japanese style. "Oh. please get here soon." she thought. Her focus was broken when she heard footsteps slapping down the hall and the slamming of a door. She stood up immediately. "What happened?" she called as she ran down the hall. She paused at the bathroom, as she could hear someone in there, throwing up. "Are you alright?" she called, fearing it might be Yuki, as she didn't really know how sick he was yet. She could hear the toilet flush and the sink run. She waited outside the bathroom for whoever it was to come out.
"Shigure?" He stepped out of the bathroom, a towel around his shoulders wiping his mouth.
"Oh, Tohru, hello," he said.
"Shigure, are you okay?" she asked him, very worried.
"Oh, don't worry dear. I'm just fine. That meat I made last night was just a little worse than I thought. But I"m fine." he said, giving her a peace sign.
"Are you sure? I'm having Hatori over because Yuki and Kyo are sick too."
Shigure nodded. "I think Kyo will be fine. He's got a tough shell." Shigure said. "It's Yuki I'm worried about." Tohru nodded. "well, we can only hope he gets here so.." his words were interrupted when he gagged and placed his hand over his mouth. He turned around and rushed back into the bathroom. Thoru was about to follow when the phone rang. She quickly went over and answered.
"Hey, it's Hatori," he said over the phone. "Listen I don't think I can make it over. Momiji caught a fever as well. You'll have to take over. Call me if anything goes wrong." Over the phone, she could hear Momiji moan, "Haa-san." He then hung up.
"Me? Take care of everyone?" thought Tohru. "Could I do that? Oh dear."
