A/N: This chapter contains a VERY OOC Kyo but he's on pain medication so I get to make him do whatever I want. Ha ha. I've been wanting to write from the point of view of a loopy person for quite awhile now. Never thought I'd accomplish it in a fanfic. Either way, goal SUCCEEDED! Yay, yay, yay, yay! *does crazy dance* I am awesome! I am so cooooool! I'm….maybe I'm on pain meds too.

Don't worry, I'm not. Or maybe you should worry because I'm not and I still act all crazy. Oh, well! I've been that way since birth. No use fixing me now! Ladi ladi la da! *more crazy dancing and whoops*

Disclaimer: Do I need to go through this?

Yuki tapped his foot impatiently. He and Shigure were in the waiting room and Yuki felt like he might need a doctor himself if he didn't settle his nerves and let his stomach calm down. Tohru had been informed of the situation but wasn't allowed to leave school because she technically wasn't family. Yuki knew that she was probably stressing out right now but it wasn't any better at the hospital. Yuki was dying to see Kyo but only Hatori and the hospital doctors were allowed in the room. It had taken some convincing to let Hatori in despite being the family doctor but at least Hatori would be able to control the situation if Kyo transformed.

Anxiety and guilt twisted Yuki's stomach into knots. It was his fault Kyo had ended up so badly. Yuki shouldn't have dragged him outside. He should have double-checked on Kyo this morning. He should have made Shigure call Hatori after last night's incident. He should have taken better care of Kyo and noticed from the start that Kyo had developed a cold. He shouldn't have hit him so hard on that one morning that started this all. He should have…should have…

"Yuki?"

The rat in question jerked up to face Hatori. Had Yuki really fallen asleep? How dare he when Kyo was in such bad condition?

"I thought you might have nodded off," Hatori nodded as if this solved some bigger unknown problem. "You can go back to sleep if you want. I just wanted to tell you that Kyo is allowed to take visitors now. Only one at a time of course but Shigure already took his turn. Would you like to see him?"

Yuki nodded, half-dazed. He also mentally cursed him self for dozing off and missing the opportunity to see Kyo first. If only Kyo hadn't woken him up so early in the morning. That must have been what caused it.

"I must warn you, though," Hatori snagged Yuki before he could enter the room, "that Kyo is not to be upset by anything. He is conscious at the moment but he has high amounts of drugs in his system so he's only half aware of reality. Either way, don't go picking a fight. Whatever he says, try to go along with it. Can you manage that?"

Yuki nodded once more and slowly opened the door so he had time to adjust to his surroundings before he had to actually enter the room. The scene before him was like every dramatic hospital scene on TV but it was still unsettling to look at.

Kyo was in the middle of the room on one of those beds that allows you to sit up or lie down. An IV was stuck in one arm and other wires he was unfamiliar with were hooked up to the other. Kyo's head was turned to look out the window giving him a serene look except for the oxygen tube that cut across his features. Either way, Yuki was glad to see Kyo look this normal despite all the various medical equipment about him.

Kyo turned as he registered footsteps on the cold, tiled floors. He had been thinking about what it would be like to turn into a cloud. He could see them lounging around in the sky, drifting wherever they pleased. And any part that didn't fit quite right would just float away and go elsewhere. Wouldn't it be nice if he could do that. He could separate the cat spirit and then it would be okay to love Yuki. Speaking of Yuki, didn't he just come into the room?

Yes, there he was. He seemed awkward and hesitant in it and Kyo wanted to take him in his arms and tell him that it would be okay. He could tell him about his plan to turn into a cloud and how everything was going to be alright. Heck, he might even just kiss the rat!

Here is where Kyo paused. There was nothing that said Yuki returned his feelings of love. Yuki would probably be disgusted with the idea and never speak to Kyo again and that was a sad thought. But then again, he could probably getting away with blaming it on all the medication he was receiving. He had heard Hatori mention something about him being a little incoherent from the strong doses. He could just kiss Yuki and no one would ever know that he had been in his sane mind the whole time.

Kyo began laughing at the idea. He could just pretend that he's on medication for the rest of his life and then he could kiss Yuki all the time. So why wasn't he kissing him right now? The thought stopped his laughter briefly and a frown formed on his face. He looked at Yuki to summon him to his bedside but Yuki was standing a few feet away with such a bizarre expression that Kyo burst out laughing again.

Yuki couldn't help but smile at Kyo's goofiness. To think that Yuki had thought Kyo appeared normal. Well, how one looks and how one acts are two different things. He chuckled along with Kyo briefly which caused Kyo to yank his head up as if just remembering Yuki was in the room too.

"Come here," Kyo chortled, waving his hand rapidly to beckon him. Yuki obediently walked to Kyo's side, a smile engraved on his face. Kyo was acting like such a little kid. Scratch that. A little kid on a sugar high.

"Come here," Kyo whispered even though Yuki was right beside him. Kyo laughed again and grabbed Yuki's arm. He began tugging lightly so Yuki allowed himself to be pulled down so he hovered over Kyo. Yuki didn't know what to expect but it definitely wasn't a kiss.

His first impulse was to deepen the kiss. The second was to pull back in case Kyo remembered this when he was normal. How would he be able to explain kissing the cat back even when Kyo started it? But then he remembered Hatori's orders to go along with whatever Kyo did. That was a good enough excuse, right? But he better not press his luck too much so he just closed his eyes and let Kyo do all the kissing.

A nurse coughed in the doorway, trying to signal that they had an audience. Yuki's eyelids snapped open but upon the reassurance that it was only the nurse, Yuki ended the kiss by gently pulling away instead of leaping backwards.

"Umm, it's nice to see that you could be here for your boyfriend," the nurse blushed profusely. Yuki felt his own cheeks being tinged with pink.

"Uh, it's not exactly like that," Yuki tried to find a way out of the situation.

"Isn't he pretty?" Kyo laughed from the bed. He grabbed Yuki's arm again but didn't tug, presumably content just with Yuki in his grasp.

"Oh, uh," the nurse still behaved awkwardly. "Yes, he is." She bent her head down as she said this. Kyo frowned at the nurse.

"He's mine," Kyo pouted.

"Uh, yes, good for you." She looked up at Yuki. "I mean, good for both of you." It was Yuki's turn to look away. What could he say to straighten this situation out? Kyo sighed dazedly and resumed staring out the window.

"Um," the nurse continued, "I'm just here to tell you that visiting hours are over. Don't worry. I'll take good care of your boyfriend while you're gone."

"He's not my boyfriend," Yuki finally blurted out.

"Uh, sorry!" the nurse seemed thoroughly embarrassed. "It's just you two were, um, I' mean it looked like…um…"

"He's on a lot of pain killers. That scene was…a mistake. Just a big mistake. Forget the whole thing, okay?" Yuki tried to appear charming but he was worried the nurse might say something to the rest of the family and insist on saying he was Kyo's boyfriend in front of Shigure or something. The nurse was pretty shook up so she just nodded and shuffled toward Kyo's medical charts.

"Uh, visiting hours…" the nurse struggled to cope with this bizarre scenario.

"Are over. Got it," Yuki mumbled and quickly left the room.

As soon as Yuki entered the hallway, Shigure knew something had happened. The way Yuki walked alone suggested that he had just been out in an uncomfortable position as he seemed to stagger every couple of steps, still in a daze. Yuki's face was flushed as that of someone who had just run a mile on a scorching summer day.

"So, how did Kyo seem? Any better?" Shigure "innocently" asked.

"That stupid furball deserves to be in the hospital. He's a lousy excuse for a human being and I never want to see that ugly face again," Yuki muttered as he stormed pass Shigure and headed toward home.

"Seems like there's trouble in paradise," Shigure thought. "It's the perfect time to investigate!" Shigure headed back to the room where Kyo was staying. The door was being opened by a nurse who appeared very uncomfortable. That was certainly suspicious.

"Excuse me, Miss," Shigure ran to intercept her. "Is this Kyo Sohma's room?" Of course Shigure knew the answer but it was a way to get the lady to talk about the patient and any possible interactions with Yuki.

"Uh, yes," the lady replied. "But visiting hours are over."

"Oh, of course. I just wondered if a boy with gray hair and purple eyes left already," Shigure casually remarked.

"Oh, yes," the nurse's face went red. "He left just a few moments ago.

"I see. He's very close to Kyo, you know."

"Uh, yeah. It did seem like that even though the other boy denied it." the blush was becoming even more prominent on her face so Shigure knew he was getting close to the secret of her embarrassment. It was critical that Shigure worded his next sentence very carefully. But of course, Shigure was getting so anxious and bubbly so the wrong words erupted from his mouth.

"Did you see anything? What happened? What were they like that made you think that?"

"Uh, I better not say. I'm just a nurse, I don't have any rights to spread the patients business around to complete strangers."

"Oh, right," Shigure sighed, his eager mood dampened. "Thanks anyway." The nurse merely nodded and scuttled away. Shigure thought about what he could do to trap the cat and rat into falling in love. It seemed that it was at a very critical point even though Shigure didn't know exactly what had happened. The best idea was probably let the situation simmer out for a little bit. Pushing Yuki too much right now would probably demolish all his hard work. Not that Shigure had done much to begin with but still…

Shiugre sighed, annoyed that the operation required him to be patient. Patience was not his most famous quality. Maybe this idea was not so great as he once thought.

A/N: There was supposed to be more to this chapter but it's taking so long to write that I cut it so I could update for you people. Sorry about the very OOC-ness of Kyo but I had to do it. I don't know why but the voices in my head told me to so nah. Next chapter will hopefully be better. I'm kind of in a writer's funk write now but I keep trying. GAH! Stupid funk! It's driving me CRAZY! Even though I already was crazy. Well, I'm done ranting. Reviews are appreciated, it encourages me to write despite all the funkiness. But I don't care if you do or don't at this point. Why won't my funk go away? Oh, right. I was supposed to be done ranting. Whatever. Peace and huggles to all…...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...x...stupid funk.
