A/N:
Meep! So many updates… -hurting head-
Hatori snuffed out his cigarette as he blew the last of the smoke from his mouth. It curled in the breeze that was wafting in from underneath the kitchen door. Hatori sighed and threw his head back, breathing deeply.
BRING, BRING!
Hatori shot up so fast he fell off his chair and onto the floor. He stood up, flailing his arms about, knocking a vase from the table. He cursed, reaching for the phone and picking it up. He swore to Akito, if it was…
"Ha'ri!" Came an annoyingly loud voice from the other end of the line. Hatori's eye twitched with pure rage towards his cousin; why did he always call in the most inappropriate time? "I need something of you, dearest seahorse!"
Hatori rolled his eyes at the phone. "Yes, Shigure?"
"Tohru ate some washing powder, silly girl, and now she refuses to come out of the... freezer," Shiggy admitted coyly, smirking the whole time. "Akito knows why, but she also has taken a dislike to sunshine. Reckon you can help?"
Hatori wouldn't usually rush to Shigure's house, but in the case of Tohru, it was almost an emergency. If Tohru died, the Sohma's would come to a crash and burn. Hatori nodded softly into the phone.
"Hatori…"
"Oh, right. I'll be right over, Shigure,"
Shigure giggled softly. "What's this, Hatori? I mean, I've heard you eager before, but this, this is completely different! Do you have a crush on dearest… KYO!"
"Hanging up, Shigure." Hatori said flatly, before pressing the hang up button on his phone and grabbing his keys. That damn dog. Always thinking the stupidest of things.

Yuki stood silently before the freezer. He could hear Tohru's soft breathing from inside. He listened as she started to mumble random strings of gibberish.
"Take the cake, you bear. I couldn't stop the egg anyway," She spoke within the depths of the freezer, before sighing dramatically. Yuki remembered an episode of "House", were a man went psycho and started to speak gibberish, but he thought he was speaking normal. Yuki suddenly felt scared. He shakily asked Tohru-
"Tohru, are you hungry in there?"
In the freezer, Tohru sat, processing the words Yuki had asked her. She wondered weather she was hungry. Was she? What did she want to eat? Wait a moment, what was that froth coming from the corner of her mouth?
"No Yun… but… froth…" She mumbled, as the froth came in faster blobs of white and yellow.
Yuki wondered what froth meant. He realized, he must get into her! He switched the lights off in the room, and grabbed a torch. Opening the lid, he shone the light on Tohru's face. She hissed softly as Yuki noticed the trails of froth and blood on the bottom of the freezer. He gasped and stepped backwards, accidentally letting go of the lid and jamming his finger in.
"Gah!" He cried, stepping back and tripping on some frozen peas and knocking his head on the ground. Yun was unconscious.

"Hey Hatori," Kyo greeted, as the seahorse wandered in the door. Hatori knew if he didn't move swiftly to Tohru, she would get sicker. Even worse, Shigure would harass him.
"Where is she?" Hatori asked gingerly, peaking around each corner, before walking into each room. He was waiting to be pounced on. Doctors bag in hand, he was ready for it.
"In the freezer, out back," Kyo scoffed, still finding the while thing a bit amusing. "That stupid girly boy is out there with her now. Probably doin' something to her!" Kyo froze. Hadn't he learnt yet not to leave them alone? He walked ahead of the doctor and flung the door open, only to have Yuki's head fall onto his shoe.
"Ah! He's dead!" Kyo screeched, jumping up in fright and slipping over, crashing onto Yuki's back with a thud, his head flopping onto the rat's bottom. For Hatori, everything seemed to go in slow motion as Yuki woke up to find his head between Kyo's legs and Kyo's head resting between his (kind of). Kyo, stunned, sat up onto his hands and knees, realizing he was practically mounting his worst enemy.
Hatori sighed and blocked his ears; if he was lucky, he might be able to hear in the morning.
A/N:
Well, that was a bit creepy. This chapter came out a lot better than I thought it would. Well, I for one am happy.
Go me.
Go you.
