Chapter 3: The shower and the call

I strip my shirt off and throw it to the floor when i hear a click. I spin around and realize Haru is standing in the doorway staring at me. I quickly grab my shirt and cover my chest. After a few seconds i realize that I'm just being stupid and i have nothing to hide there, so i drop that clothes.

"What are you doing Haru?" i sigh putting a towel over my shoulders

"Oh nothing much what about you Yuki?"

"Well i am trying to have a shower"

"Oh really I'm not interrupting you am I, if I am please just carry on with whatever you're doing"

I sigh and undo my belt and let it slide to the floor and then i let my pants slide to my feet. I slide out of my underwear and step into the bath. Haru advances and takes off his shirt and strips the rest of his garments and under garments as well. He then stepped into the shower and disregarding the lack of space there was in the shower and all i can see is his chest and his face.

I daren't look down god that would be so embarrassing. I don't even know what the point of having a shower is when i can't even reach the soap much less spread it on my body.

"Yuki, you do realize that this is one big opportunity to see me in a shower"

"Well Haru yes it is but my personal boundaries have just been pushed beyond its limit."

"Hey Yuki here's the soap!" he shouts sounding pleased with himself." he starts pushing the soap bar onto my shoulders and onto my back.

"Turn around Yuki" Haru smiles, I turn around and he rubs the bar up and down my back. As he got lower i start to turn around but he stops and embraces me from behind and i can feel the soap dribbling down my back as the water washes it away rubbing on and off of Haru.

"Haru why are you doing this?" His arms are still holding me firm from behind and his face looms close to my ear

"Do I have to have a reason for wanting to be close to you", he laughs and lets me go and grabs the shampoo bottle and tells me to turn around. He pours some onto my head and runs it through my hair with his fingers, which are now covered in the frothy shampoo. He pushes my head back into the water and lightly washes out the foam. Then he gets the conditioner and runs it through the ends of my fringe and he runs his nose up my hair smelling the rich scent of the conditioner and washes it out as well.

I lift my face up and let the water run down my cheeks, I like this feeling it's relaxing. I take my face out of the stream and dry it. I look up into Haru's eyes and he smiles back at me and lifts my chin up and kisses me, passionately and warm, Loving and caring He is the only man that i desire I kiss him pack firmly and throw my arms around him. The shower continues to shower us but we don't care. We just keep going with our loving embrace.

Haru stops suddenly and looks away. I follow his eyes and gasp. It's Shigure standing in the doorway with a shocked look on his face. It soon changes to a smirk that somehow does not look like Shigure. It seems somehow evil... In a flash the smirk is gone as quickly as it had come. In it's place is a goofy grin and the face he makes when he wants to desperately tell someone something.

"If you tell Ayame I will murder you even if you are the keeper of the house" i growl loud enough for him to hear.

"Likewise if you tell a single soul" Haru snarls

'TSK TSK I only came in here to get a hand towel for Tohru" he says but starts to look worried, "Tohru's sick and is in bed at the moment, she has a high fever, it appears to be a common cold but I'm not sure if it's just that so I've called Hatori-san and he's on his way.

I start to panic Haru tenses and steps out of the shower and grabs my towel and dries me off and then follows to dry himself. We both put some bathrobes on and hurry up to Tohru. Her eyes are closed and there are beads of sweat forming around her hairline. Her skin is quite pail and her fingers are trembling.

Haru and I hurry to get some proper clothes on again and Haru walks me back to Tohru's room. Shigure is still staring at us trying not to laugh. I give him my best glare and i avert my eyes back to Tohru.

"When will Hatori be arriving? I ask Shigure who has just managed to stop snickering.

"Hopefully any minute." he sighs and checks his watch.

"Actually I'm already here" I spin around and look at Hatori who is standing in the doorway with a recognizable orange cat that is limp in his arms.

"Hey Hatori what wrong with Kyo?" Shigure asks starting to seriously look worried now.

"I found him limp like this on my way here. His clothes were strangling him but that doesn't fit with the reason why he's like this now. Also he should have turned back by now or at least woken up but he hasn't moved. He's alive but I can't understand what's wrong with him." he lies Kyo down on the bed next to Tohru. "oh by the way how's Tohru she is the reason why i came over in the first place."

"Well she's not looking good at all, I am starting to suspect that it might not just be the common cold. " Shigure says starting towards Tohru.

I suddenly feel the absence of Haru. I look around and Haru is on the floor and is on his side, in his cow form. I fall to my knees and examine him. He's unconscious. I feel tears welling up in y eyes. This is the first time Haru has ever been sick, or at least that i know of. I brush the long mane out of his eyes which are shutting slowly.

"Haru! Haru wake up come back to me" I cry slamming my fists onto his flank which is coming up and down with his breathing. "

"It's okay Yuki he's just fainted from exhaustion. It appears that he's come down with the same thing as Kyo-kun

The phone starts ringing from downstairs. Shigure runs down to get it. I walk down the stairs to Shigure and leave Hatsuharu in Hatori's capable hands.

"Yes, yes hmm you don't say. What! Akito sama has collapsed what are you talking about? Ha, Hatori san he, he's here with us. Kyo-kun, Hatsuharu-kun and MIss Honda have collapsed. Ah Tohru was the first, then Kyo and then Hatsuharu. Momiji-kun too? this doesn't sound good. Wha? another call okay call me back later and I'll notify Hatori. Bye!" He slowly puts down the phone and turns around. Momiji has also collapsed and is in his juunishi form.

He looks like there's something he'snot telling us

"Yuki" He says shakingly "Akito, Akito, she, she collapsed this morning and her heart has been failing all throughout the morning and we don't know if she is going to live."
