Chapter 2. Worried Friends

Kyo lay Tohru down on her bed, carefully making sure that he did not move too fast.

Then, he took off her sopping wet, pink coat and slid the sheets and blankets over her cold, wet body.

Once he had left her room, he tossed her coat into the hamper and raced to the phone. He called Hatori and thankfully he picked up. Kyo urgently but quietly explained everything that had happened, starting from the bird. Hatori stayed silent the whole time except for when Kyo had finished speaking.

"I'll be there immediately." And he hung up.

But Kyo knew that in the storm going on outside, it would take Hatori about half an hour to arrive even if he sped. And Yuki was probably trapped at the school, as something like this storm had happened before and they kept all of the students at school until it had died down.

Kyo, out of options of what to do now, went back to Tohru's room.

She still looks so cold. Suddenly an idea struck him.

Although he did not like it, Kyo leaned down over Tohru and gently hugged her.

He was a cat within 5 seconds and he stood there on her pillow. He could see her quivering slightly from the cold and Kyo softly walked up to her. He stood there a moment, gazing down at her; hardly moving, hardly breathing.

Then, he curled up into a small orange ball of fur next to her head and pressed himself against her, sharing what warmth he had stored away beneath his fur.

And without being fully aware of it, for he had fallen asleep, but Kyo, curled up there next to the girl he cared for, was unaware of a small rumble in his chest.

Kyo assumed that he had been asleep for about 20 minutes, because it only took about 10 more minutes for Hatori to arrive.

As soon as he had woken up and leapt off of the bed, he had changed back as if by cue and then pulled his clothes on.

Then, he remembered something, and reached into his pocket, pulling out her wallet. He opened it and slid the undamaged picture of Tohru's mother from the plastic and placed it onto the table beside her bed.

Hatori had arrived a few moments later, but he was not alone. Kyo knew that something like this would have happened, but he did not expect to see so many visitors.

Beside the Dragon stood an anxious Rabbit, an apprehensive Tiger, and a Ram with hidden concern. Kyo sighed and stepped aside as the four solemnly stepped into the house.

"I tried not to attract attention, but…I just couldn't refuse them." Hatori explained as he followed Kyo up the stairs. The three other Zodiac members followed quietly, not making a sound besides the thumping of their feet.

Kisa clutched Hiro's coat and hugged his arm and he held onto her.

As they got to Tohru's room, Hatori ordered that all of them remain outside aside from Kyo.

Once inside, they spoke in hushed voices. Hatori shuffled through his bag and took out his stethoscope.

"Now," He said to Kyo, pulling the covers off of Tohru and listening intently into the device. "How fast would you say this car was going?" He asked. Kyo leaned against the wall and tried to get an estimate of what he thought.

"I'd say about 40." He decided at last.

"In this weather?" Hatori's voice was more interested than shocked. "And you say that they didn't even stop?"

"No they didn't stop, not once! He didn't even slow down or anything! Not even after he hit her! I swear if I ever find the bastard who did this I'll kill him ten thousand times over!" Rage and fury began to build up inside of him and he gritted his teeth together to keep from shouting.

Hatori was silent for a few moments after that as he rummaged through his bag again. But Kyo could not see what he was doing. He had squeezed his eyes shut to keep the wrath of the storm inside. He did not speak again either, until the Dragon asked another question of him.

"Now, you say it was a bird that did this?" He indicated the bandages on her head.

"Yeah." Was his only reply.

"You wouldn't have happened to see what kind of bird did you?"

"What the Hell does it matter? No I didn't see what it looked like." He told the older man.

"I see. And who bandaged the cut?" He asked. Kyo was starting to think that he was accusing him of something.

"She did it herself! I couldn't do anything, I didn't have any fingers!" He fumed.

"Kyo I'm not blaming you for anything so stop thinking like that." The wise Dragon told the protective Cat.

Kyo looked up in time to see the doctor peel away the wet bandages and have his brow furrow when he saw the gash. Kyo looked away again as he reached into his bag, not wanting to see what he would do.

Finally, after a time period that Kyo did not keep track of, Hatori stood up and lifted his bag.

"I'm finished Kyo, let's go downstairs. I'll bet those three are worried sick." As Hatori left the room, Kyo followed and glanced over his shoulder and saw that Tohru was sleeping with a little less pain on her face.

He glanced at the picture of her mother.

Please, don't let me be responsible for your daughter's death as well. He prayed silently.

And with that he followed Hatori and closed the door behind him.

Silently, they all walked downstairs and settled in the living room. Hatori sat at the head of the kotatsu, while Momiji took a seat next to Kyo, and Hiro sat down with Kisa.

"Oji-chan," Kisa finally managed to whisper, "Is Onee-chan going to be okay?" She asked, snuggling closer to Hiro who blushed slightly.

She was the one to ask the burning question on everyone else's mind.

Hatori sighed.

"She fractured a few of her ribs and her right arm is broken, but if she just stays put for a while she should be fine in a month or so. Nothing serious." He explained to them.

The little Tiger let out the breath she had been holding in a whimper. Then, she turned to Hiro and began cry joyfully into his coat. She burst into tears and for a long moment, her sobbing was the only sound to break the silence aside from the rain.

It took Hiro a moment to realize what was happening, but in no time he had Kisa curled up in a caring embrace. He had a slight smile on his face as well as a blush, but whenever Kisa cried, he pulled her closer and closer to him.

Momiji finally let that big smile of his break loose, lightening the mood in the room by about 1000 degrees.

"That's good to hear." He said with a little laugh in his voice.

Kyo sighed with relief.

"Good." He murmured.

Then as he looked up he decided to toy with the Ram.

"Hiro you idiot let her breathe!" He teased in a light tone.

Hiro glared at him, but then seemed to understand what he meant and loosened his grip on Kisa.

Just then, the door slid open and Yuki and Shigure stepped in. Yuki was mumbling something.

"First they call a surprise meeting and then I'm stuck there the whole entire day! This is ridiculous!" Then he stopped speaking as he saw the four unexpected faces. "Uh…Hello…Hatori-san. Kisa-chan, Momi-"

"Come now Yuki-kun if you stand there greeting everybody in turn we'll be here all night. Hello everyone!" Shigure filled in for him cheerily, closing the door behind him.

"I could have finished by now if you hadn't butted in." Yuki growled. Kyo's eyes widened.

"What the Hell? Hatori you never called them did you? They have no idea." Kyo spoke in a voice that was half irritation half surprise.

"Do you honestly think that I would have the time to do something like that with all that I've had to do today?" The Dog and the Rat shared a confused look.

"No idea about what?" Yuki asked. "Where is Honda-san?"

When he looked up and found nothing but grave faces around him he was about to scream at them to tell him what had happened, but Hatori spoke first.

"Please sit down. There's something I have to discuss with the two of you."

"HIT BY A CAR?!" Yuki practically shouted.

"Shut up ya damn Rat she's sleeping!" Kyo hissed at him.

Yuki glared at him and was about to retort before Hatori stopped him and went on explaining Kyo's story. All the while, not a word was said by the Dog, the Ram, the Tiger or the Rabbit. Finally, when the Dragon had finished explaining the story, the Rat shot up and made a move to go to the stairs. Then the Cat leapt in front of him, blocking his path.

"I told you she's sleeping!" He spat.

"Yes Yuki, Kyo is right this time." Hatori said.

"This time?!" Hatori ignored him.

"What she needs now is rest, she'll be fine." Then Hatori summoned Shigure into the kitchen to speak about a private matter. The second they were out of sight, Yuki turned on Kyo.

"You could have prevented this you stupid Cat!" He growled.

"You think I don't know that you damn Rat?!" He growled back. They stared at each other a moment longer.

"No this isn't your fault, I'm sorry." Yuki sighed.

"No you're actually right." Kyo confessed. "I mean, I saw her wallet in the middle of the street n' all but I didn't hafta go get it. If I hadn't done that then she never woulda did what she did." Then, the two did not make eye contact as they passed each other going separate ways.

Yuki went to where the other three were sitting, Momiji was telling Hiro and Kisa the story of the Foolish Traveler, and Hiro was complaining about how stupid the character was.

Kyo walked silently into the kitchen not knowing until it was too late that he was eavesdropping.

"Its strange that it would happen at a time like this." Hatori was murmuring.

"And why is that?" Shigure asked.

"Well Akito-san was speaking to me just before Kyo called. He was saying that on my next visit here, that I should inform you that he would like to have Tohru and Kyo come over for a visit sometime very soon."

Kyo froze as he heard his and Tohru's names.

"But seeing that this little incident has occurred, it seems that he will be inconvenienced to know that she won't be able to come for a while."

"He only wants to see Tohru-kun and Kyo-kun? And at the same time?" Shigure asked, curious.

In the pause that followed, Kyo guessed that Hatori nodded, for Shigure went on to say.

"And why do you thing that is?" Hatori did not reply for a moment, but then replied in such a low voice that Kyo barely heard him.

"He wants to speak to her about Kyo's true form."
