I walked into Music Room #3 after a day spent curled up on the couch filled with a sense of apprehension. I had managed to stop Ranka from calling Hatori, the family doctor, and to wait until my check-up tomorrow. It was after hours so I didn't have to worry about getting any of the girls sick.
" Haruhi," identical voices called.
" Hi guys sorry I didn't come to school today I felt a bit sick so I stayed home," I told them.
" Have you been checked out yet?" Kyoya asked.
" Not yet," I replied.
I walked to a table and sat down. The other hosts sat down at the table as well, Honey with his cake and Mori standing next to him.
" Do you want me to book an appointment with one of my family's doctors?" Kyoya asked.
" That wont be necessary Mr Ootori," a male voice said from the doorway.
" Hatori," I said.
Everyone turned to see Hatori standing in the doorway; medical bag at his feet and lab coat draped over one arm. Hatori walked over to where we all sat. I stood up along with the Hosts and started to walk to the dressing rooms.
" Hey what do you think you're doing with my daughter?" Tamaki demanded.
" I'm giving Miss Fujioka an annual check up," Hatori replied smoothly.
" And I'm not your daughter," I snapped.
Tamaki shrunk back and scurried for the protection of Kyoya. Kyoya simply pushed his glasses up his nose before writing something down in his notebook. I shook my head and followed Hatori into a cubicle and pulled the curtains closed.
" How is your breathing?" Ha'ri asked me.
" Okay, I don't overdo it," I replied.
" Did you take your medication for your condition?" he asked.
" Yes for both conditions," I replied.
Hatori made a sound of disbelief before turning around to get some things out of his bag while I undressed to my underwear.
Fifteen minutes later we exited the cubicle and I grabbed my stuff.
" We're going to the lake house for the weekend, you need to get away from the pollution in the air in the city," Hatori said
" Okay but tell Dad first and then we'll go," I agreed.
" Where are you going Haru?" Honey asked.
" I have to go somewhere for a medical reason okay but I will be better come Monday," I replied.
Mori patted my head and I left with Hatori.
" How are they?" I asked quietly.
" Still fighting, Tohru is starting to help them heal little by little," Hatori replied.
" No fistfights?" I asked again.
" Not much just a lot of verbal sparring," Hatori replied sadly.
" I wish we could tell them," I said wistfully.
" So do I Haru, so do I," Ha'ri agreed.
