Kami peeked into the kitchen. He'd been here for a few weeks already and Tohru had finally moved out. He cheered and began dancing around the house.
"No more girl!" he cheered while the other two mourned. " No more girl!"
Yuki sighed sipping his tea.
"He really hates girls doesn't he?"
"He's afraid of them." Kyo corrected, "His mother beat on him from what I understand. "
Kami's scream suddenly had them running to find him. He was in the yard clutching his chest trying to breath.
"Call Hatori!" Kyo yelled, and Yuki ran off. Kyo picked Kami up and carried him to their room. He stripped him into his boxers and tucked him in. "Hang on, Kami."
It seemed like an eternity until Hatori arrived. Kami's face was red with pain and he was clawing at his heart.
" What were you doing when pain presented?"
"He's was doing what Tohru normally does." Kyo said , "The housework. We didn't ask him too. He was smiling and cheering because he's afraid of girls. "
"Afraid?" Hatori asked, "Does this have something to do with why he has had so many broken bones?"
"His mom beat him." Kyo stated, " What's wrong with him?"
"He has an untreated heart condition. " Hatori explained to the room. " I was hoping to have him come in this week so I could give him some pills to start treating it. I filled the prescription on the way over. Help him swallow one of these."
He opened the bottle and handed Kyo a pill. Kyo got a glass of water on the nightstand and helped Kami swallow it.
"Is the condition serious?" Yuki asked, "Like my lungs?"
"He's got a weak heart." Hatori sighed, "He'll probably need a donor heart. If it gets much worse we'll have to hospitalize him."
Kyo paled his poor Kami.
"Does his father know?" he asked, "about his condition?"
"Not yet." Hatori replied, "He lives at the main house so I'm going to tell him soon. I was on my way over when you called."
"Can I be the one to do it?" Kyo asked, "I want to introduce myself and make sure he's not the type whose going to hurt Kami."
"Sure." Hatori replied, a light bulb going on in his head.
Kyo berated himself for this idea. He hated Sohma house. He looked at the map in his hand.
"KYO!" Momiji dropped down on to his shoulders. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for Akiro Sohma." Kyo replied, " but I'm lost. "
"I know the way." Momiji cheered, "But why are you going there?"
"To talk to him about his son Kami Sohma he's the Forgotten Zodiac and my friend. " Kyo explained, he didn't feel like getting annoyed, he had something to talk to the man about and was trying to not get worked up. " He's staying with us. He's sick though I asked Hatori to let me tell him so I'm here."
"Turn left." Momiji cheered, "Is he nice? Will he like me?"
"Im sure he will." Kyo replied, a family was now watching him come. " Though he doesn't show much emotion because of how he was brought up. He could use some more friends. Why don't you stop by sometime. Where are we?"
"HERE!" Momiji declared they were now standing in front of the family. "Kyo this is Akiro Sohma!"
"Hello, I need to talk to you about Kami."
"I see please come in." the Father stood up. "Will Momiji be joining us?"
"Hey, brat go play with the kids this is important."
Momiji jumped down he was happy to comply.
Kyo sat across from Akiro and sipped his tea.
"I'm here on behalf of Hatori to tell you about Kami." Kyo finally spoke setting his tea down. He pushed a file to Akiro. "This is everything that Hatori has been able to gather so far on Kami. As you can see Kami has a weak heart and may need a transplant soon."
Akiro read the file and became increasingly angry at his ex-wife. When he was done he closed the file and looked at Kyo.
"Why would you come instead of Hatori himself?"
"Well, the truth is I wanted to talk to you about something else."
"Go ahead."
Kyo took a deep breath.
"I'm in love with Kami. " he blurted, "I have been since we were little kids and he loves me too. I wanted to tell you I would never ever hurt him. I'm here to ask your permission to please date your eldest son."
Akiro sat stunned. He blinked over and over at the orange haired boy in front of him.
"I'm a member of the Zodiac too." Kyo continued, "I'm the Cat. So I understand him on a level no one else seems to and he understands me on the same level. I don't care that he wears girls clothes and wouldn't care if he started wearing boys clothes and he's doing really well trying to get used to all the girls at school and I've made sure he hasn't transformed once. He's promised to try and wear boys clothes more often. We share a room but I would never take advantage of him in any way. He hasn't had a single panic attack even when Tohru was living with us. She's not anymore she's moved in with her grandpa because of the renovations being done..."
"Calm down." Akiro said Kyo. "I was getting over the shock of finding out my son is gay. I would like to speak to my son about this before I decide."
"I understand " Kyo nodded, "He's at home right now. He had a sever attack yesterday. He's supposed to be resting but knowing Kami he's probably driving Shigure and Yuki crazy."
Kyo entered the house through the back door to see sure enough that Kami was sitting at the table refusing to eat with a pill bottle next to him that said he was refusing to take his pills.
"Kami, I'm home." Kyo sighed and suddenly had an armful of the boy. "You shouldn't be out of bed. You have to take your pill." He lead Kami back to the far side of the table and sat down with him. Kami took his pill. "Now try and eat something. I brought your father here he wants to talk to you."
"Hello." Akiro said sitting down. "I'm Akiro Sohma." his eyes were all for his son who Kyo still had a protective arm around.
