Chapter 2: Fallen Kitty

Recap: Some gang members tried to hurt Tohru. Kyo, heard Tohur's scream saved her but got into a fight with three gang member. During the fight Kyou is injured by the boss's knife and has a deep wound on his back. Tohru called Yuki for help and when Yuki got to the scene he sees Kyou falling unconscious. Yuki finished the fight but realized that Kyou was badly injured and he had lost a lot of blood. Kyou's almost dead and Yuki doesn't know what to do.

Yuki

"YUKI!!" I looked up startled.

"Momiji? Haru?" I saw them running up to where I sat holding Kyou.

"Tohru said that there was a fight," Momiji gasped, "What happened to Kyou?"

"Where are the bastards that did this?" Haru yelled furiously, instantly going black, "I'll make 'em pay!"

"Haru calm down!" I said, more worried about Kyou than anything else, "Kyou's lost too much blood we need an ambulance, quick!" I tried to stay calm but that's hard to do when someone is dying in your arms.

"Huh? Yuki? You're hurt!" said the cow, instantly reverting back to his white side.

"Wha?" I looked down, confused. A cut ran from my forearm to my shoulder leaving my shirt thick with blood. Must have happened while fighting the Boss.

"Never mind that," I replied, "Momiji go call an ambulance, Shigure and Hatori. Tell them to get over here now!"

Momiji nodded his head once in understanding and dashed off toward the school building, his face grim and his eyes threatening to spill with tears.

I turn back to Hatsaharu and say, "Haru, help me carry Kyou over to the front of the school. But be careful not to open his wounds any further."

"Yea."

Haru and I put Kyou's arms over our shoulders and lift him up. I wince at the pain in my shoulder but I choose to ignore it. Quickly, we made our way over to the front of the school.

We put him down and I start applying pressure to his wounds, desperately trying to stop the incessant blood flow. Haru follows my actions, his face just as worried as mine.

"KYOU-KUN!!" Tohru ran out from the front of the school crying hysterically, followed by Hanajima and Arisa.

"This is all my fault," she cried, "I-I should have been more careful." Arisa and Hana put their arms around her in a big hug and murmured words of comfort.

"Hey Prince," Arisa said, turning to me, "What happened to Orange Top?"

"Some guys attacked Honda-san, so he kicked their asses like they deserved." I replied, ignoring the stares I was getting for my language. Usually I was very formal but not right now. Right now, I was livid with anger and worried for Kyou's life. What the hell is taking Hatori so long? Damn, its only been like five minutes. Its gonna take 'em forever to get here. Curse it all!! Kyou doesn't have that much time!

"Honda-san, please don't blame yourself. This isn't your fault. Kyou would have won if it weren't for the bats and knives they had... Damn bastards!" I try to comfort her with my words.

"Ehh!! Tohru why didn't you tell us you were attacked?" Arisa asked Tohru, with motherly concern.

"I-I'm so sorry. I didn't get hurt so I didn't want to worry you..." Tohru said, still crying.

Off in the distance a loud blaring sound echoed. If it weren't for my mouse-like ears I probably wouldn't have heard it. Soon a black car pulled into view, reflecting large red lights. An ambulance pulled up behind Hatori's car as both Hatori and Shigure came running over to where we were holding Kyou.

"That was fast!" I say, half relieved that Kyou would be taken care of now. Hatori bent over Kyou, medics right behind him. They took Kyou from me and Hatsaharu and placed him on a strecher.

"When Tohru was leaving I could feel her aura's waves, they were happy and calm. Then all of a sudden thet became fearful and agitated. Soon after I felt new waves, Kyou-kun's, they were very angry. I felt Tohru's waves, feel relieved and then worried. Soon after Kyou-kun's waves became painful, then weak, then they disappeared. So I went and called the ambulance. Explanation over." Hanajima concluded her lengthy explanation.

"I called the hospital and Hatori..." called Momiji as he came running out of the building, "...uh...that was fast." The medics were already loading Kyou in to the ambulance.

"Yuki! What happened?" Hatori came over for a quick explanation.

"He got into a fight with some gang members because they tried to hurt Honda-san." I explained, saving the detail for later, "He's lost a lot of blood and has been unconscious for at least fifteen minutes."

Hatori nods his head in understanding and said, "Yuki, go with in the ambulance. If Kyou transforms, and I'm surprised he hasn't yet, you're going to have to explain about our situation. I'll follow in my car with everyone else." Hatori said, taking control of the situation.

"Alright," I reply. Dammit why do I have to go in the ambulance? I hate dark crowded places. I ran over to the ambulance and got in. One of the medics told me where to sit while another closed the ambulance doors.

I watch as they remove my bloodied shirt from Kyou's back and start cleaning the wound. How can anyone be so efficient in such a small place? These people sure seem to be able to do it. One medic cleaned the cuts with some disinfectant and I could see Kyou's muscles ripple with pain. The cut starts frothing, meaning it was killing the bacteria. I look down unable to keep my eyes on Kyou's weak state. I could hear the medics pulling out bandages and antiseptics and who knows what else. The shock was finally settling in. Kyou might actually die! There is no way he can survive so much blood loss. Dammit you cat! If you die how are you supposed to beat me?

"Excuse me. Sohma-san?" a nurse startled me out of my thoughts. "Would you like me to take a look at you arm?" she asked kindly.

I look down at my arm and nod. I had forgotten that I was also injured. I watched as she wiped the blood from my arm and chest. The tick crimson blood soaked the cloth in her gloved hands. I bit my lip, to fight the pain of antiseptic she used to clean my cut. Carefully, she wrapped my arm in a clean white bandage.

"Your cut isn't so bad," she smiled a little, "you won't even stitches."

She opens a cabinet and pulls out a clean white shirt and hands it to me. I put it on muttering some words of thanks but my thoughts are still clouded. I look up at Kyou. His face was deathly white and although most of the blood was cleaned up, I could still see the large cuts along his arms and back. There were bruises forming along his arms and side.

"W-will he be ok?" I heard my hollow voice ask the nurse.

The nurse looked at me with a sad smile, "It's hard to tell right now," she said, "but I promise, we will do our best."

I nod. Dammit. Tell me he will live! He may be the damned cat but even I don't want him to die. A large lump in my throat chokes my breathing and my vision quickly blurs. I close my eyes and look down fighting away my tears.

---------

Haru, Momiji, Tohru, Shigure and I are sat in the hospital waiting room, waiting for Hatori to get back. Although he is only a family doctor, he had many connections through out the medical field. His status allowed Kyou to receive the quickest treatment.

The waiting room was filled with various people. A man was wearily leading his screaming daughter to a vending machine. In one corner an elderly woman turned pages in a magazine aimlessly. One man sat with a young boy, holding "welcome baby" balloons. Not far from me, sat a man with a grim expression. He had his arm around his wife gently rubbing her shoulder. The woman clung to him silently sobbing.

I took my eyes away from them and looked at Tohru. Her eyes were red and puffy and her face was blotchy from the incessant streams of tears. Her usual smiling face had been replaced by a grimness so unbefitting of her that I was compelled to look down. Even Momiji had lost the sparkle in his eyes. His usual jumpiness had died down and his cheeks glistened with tears.

"Alright Dr. Yakamoto, thank you," I heard Hatori's voice form the distance. I looked um and saw him coming our way. I tried to read his expression but his face gave no clues as to Kyou's condition. I stood up and walked over to him, the others followed my lead.

"How is he Hatori?" I asked the question in everyone's minds, "Will he...will he live?"

Hatori gave me a fleeting look of surprise. I guess he doesn't realise that no matter how much I can't stand him, I just can't hate Kyou.

Hatori quickly recovers and says, "Kyou is still in critical condition. The injuries themselves weren't serious but the wound on his back caused him to loose a lot of blood. Since he didn't get medical attention as soon as it happened, the amount of blood he lost could prove to be fatal. However, right now doctors are giving him blood transfusions so he still has a chance of making it. Dr. Yakamoto says that if he can survive the night he will live and we can take him home as soon as his vitals stabilize. Other than that his left wrist is broken and he has some pretty bad bruises."

Everyone stood silent, taking in the information. Tohru began to sob quietly. Her tissue had already been soaked by previous tears. I look down at my feet. If he survives the night? If he survives? NO! He has to survive. If he dies Tohru will die of depression and I will lose the one friend that has truly accepted me. I won't let that happen to her. If he dies whose ass am I going to kick? If he dies I...Dammit Kyou! You can't die! You just can't!

"You kids should go on home," Hatori snaps me out of my thoughts, "There's noting more we can do here. We can come back first thing in the morning. Come on I'll drive everyone home."

Tohru looked as if she was about to protest but I put my hand on her shoulder and stop her.

"Hatori? Is it all right if I stay the night here? I don't want to leave just yet, someone needs to stay behind. Plus..." I looked over to Tohru, who had a fresh stream of tears falling out of her eyes.

Hatori looked over to Shigure, who nodded his approval.

I turned to Tohru and said, "Honda-san don't worry Kyou's strong. He'll make it through the night. And I'll call to let everyone know how he's doing later."

Tohru looked up into my eyes surprised that I was showing so much concern for the cat. She nodded and tried to give a small smile.

"Okay then, lets go everyone," called Hatori.

Everyone followed him silently, leaving the waiting room seemingly empty. I go back over to my seat and slump into my chair. The lump in my throat returns with a vengeance and my eyes blur again. I look down and squeeze my eyes shut, tears rolling silently down my face.
