Chapter 2

"He's got a high fever." said Hatori coming out of Kyo's room.

"It must be from being out in the rain yesterday." said Shigure.

"He didn't eat anything at all today." said Yuki coming down the hall.

"A-all d-day!" cried Tohru, "I need to go make some soup."

"Relax Honda-kun there is some soup that I can heat up for him. You can go make those letters." said Shigure.

"I'll stay here until Kyo becomes conscious." said Hatori.

"May I go in Hatori-san?" asked Tohru.

"Yes" said Hatori.

"I will bring him a cool cloth for his head." said Tohru hurrying off to get one.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

"I really hope Kyo-kun's okay." thought Tohru as she filled a small bowl with cold water.

Tohru walked back to Kyo's room. She slowly opened the door. The light was off and the shades were down. Kyo was lying on his bed and looked pale. Tohru put the wet cloth on his head. She gently stroked his hair.

"Please be okay Kyo-kun." said Tohru.

She placed her head on Kyo's chest and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. She stayed there for a while listening to Kyo's heart beating. Kyo put his hand sleepily on Tohru's back. His hand was very hot. Tohru sat up and gently put Kyo's hand down. She placed her hand on his head. It was warmer than before.

"Oh no! His temperature must be going up!" though Tohru as she put cool water in his forehead with the cloth.

"Tohru are you ready to-..." started Momiji coming through the door and stopping midway seeing Tohru crying, "What is the matter?"

"He's getting worse..." cried Tohru.

"Haa-san said that he can't do much unless Kyo is conscious." said Momiji, "Do you want to make the letters while we wait?"

Momiji walked over and took her hand.

"B-but what if he needs me?" cried Tohru wiping away her tears.

"You won't be far away and Haa-san is here too." said Momiji.

Momiji led Tohru out of Kyo's room and over to a table with the writing paper on it.

"Who should we start with?" asked Tohru.

"How about Kisa and Hiro?" said Momiji, "I already tried to send one to Akito-san but it was returned unopened and it said that Akito-san didn't live there any more. Strange huh?"

"Yes I wonder where he went." said Tohru.

"Yeah..." pondered Momiji, " But, for now do you want to make Kisa'a letter?"

"O-okay." said Tohru taking a piece of paper.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"We're finally done!" sighed Momiji sealing the last letter, "Thank you for helping me Tohru."

"You're welcome Momiji-kun." said Tohru.

"Kyo-kun's awake." said Shigure walking in, "Haa-san's doing some tests to see if everything's okay."

Just then Hatori came into the room.

"He has a few cracked ribs, a bruised back and a slight concussion." said Hatori taking off his rubber gloves, " I have taken care of everything. Kyo shouldn't lift anything nor do anything too stressful so that everything can heal properly. He should be better in about a week."

"May I see him again?" asked Tohru.

"I'm sorry but no." answered Hatori, "He is resting now... We must go now Momiji."

"Oh...Okay" said Momiji, "Bye Tohru! Bye Shigure-san!"

Momiji hugged Tohru and gathered the letters.

"Please call me if Kyo gets worse or has any problems." said Hatori as he closed the door.
