chapter 12 the cave and river
The night was long and as the time went by the air became colder. Kyo laid down beside Tohru to try and keep her warm. " Tomorrow marks four days the bus driver will be returning ". said Shirgure " I know but the only problem is we wont be there" said Kyo in a starcasit way.
As time went by both kyo and Shirgure had fallen a sleep and soon the sun appeared. Yuki was the first one awake he looked over at the others " they must of fallen a sleep, I better wake them up" Yuki thought to his self.
He began to stand up but to only wince in pain " Damn" said Yuki he then sat back down " SHIRGURE! STUPID CAT TIME TO WAKE UP" shouted Yuki.
Kyo shot up looking this way and that and and Shirgure doing the same " who, what were, what happen" said Shirgure.
"nothing happened, It's morning already" said Yuki.
" Oh right, my bad" said Shirgure. Kyo ran a hand through his hair and looked down at Tohru " She looks so peaceful" kyo thought to his self.
He then Placed a hand on her forehead and let out a sigh of releaf " Tohru's fever has gone down we need to get a move on" said Kyo.
"Were are we going ?" asked Yuki. " well last night Kyo went off to finds some Medical herbs and he found a river" said Shirgure "how far is it"? asked Yuki
" Well about a half of a mile so we need to get a move on" said Kyo. Shirgure began to pack up their things and Kyo Put the fire out. He then went to wake up Tohru . He knelt down by her side " Tohru it's Time to wake up" said Kyo as he Kissed her on her forehead.
Tohru opened her eyes and Looked up at Kyo " Good morning" she said in a weak voice. " Good morning do you think you can stand up?" said Kyo " I'll try" said Tohru as she tried to stand up she began to fall back down lucky Kyo was there to catch her.
'' you OK"? asked Kyo " I'm fine, I just feel very weak" said Tohru.
"that probably from not eating" said Shirgure.
"Alright Tohru wrap you arms around my neck" said Kyo As Tohru wrapped her arms around Kyo's neck Kyo Picked her up. " Alright Shirgure get Yuki and lets go" said Kyo
As they began to walk toward the river. Tohru began to sing in a weak voice,
"Let's sing a song the song of earth, hold the wind in your arms bask in the light, the stars are twinkling shining down upon the streets,
light and bouncy be full of hopes, lets sing a song let the song of the world travel forever looking up at the sky the sound of people talking,
insects jumping light and bouncy taking my hopes with it, light and bouncy tomorrow will definitely light and bouncy reach the sky".
As Tohru Sang Kyo began to hum along with her. and as some time pasted kyo decided to take a break. " alright we are going to take a break here" said kyo
"Thank goodness you sure are heavy Yuki" said Shirgure " what do you mean by that, I was only leaning on you"! said Yuki
Kyo sat Tohru down and looked up at the Sky and what he saw really pissed him off " Damn looks like it is going to rain" said kyo
The others looked toward the sky " Kyo I don't like the looks of those clouds we should keep on going" said Tohru
" Yea, I know what you mean" said Kyo.
Kyo Picked Tohru up and they headed out once again. as time went on they soon made it to the meadow were kyo found the flowers.
" Wow, they are so pretty!" said Tohru as she looked at the flowers.
Kyo let out a light chuckle.
Just then there was a loud sound " what was that?" Asked Tohru.
" Thunder" said Shirgure soon they made their way through the bushes and trees and they came upon the river.
"Alright we need to find some shelter" said Kyo
He sat Tohru down and Looked around the area. when something caught his eye" What's that" said Kyo. " what's what" said Shirgure
" I'll be right back" said kyo as he began to walk about 30 yards a way Kyo came across a small cave. " this will do nicely for a shelter I wonder how far it goes back" said Kyo to his self
He then picked up a rock and and through it in to the cave ( clunk) The rock it the back of the cave. " I would say It probably goes back 20 feet" Kyo thought to his self
He then went to go and tell the others as Kyo reached the other he told them of the cave. " are you sure Jason the bear doesn't live there?" asked Shirgure " Yes, I'm Sure and will you shut the hell up about a damn bear" said Kyo
As Kyo went to pick Tohru Up It began to sprinkle " damn rain " said Kyo. He led them to the cave and sat Tohru down. " alright first thing first we nee to gather some fire wood be for it starts to rain hard" said Kyo.
" Right" said Shirgure him and Kyo began to gather fire wood soon they had enough Kyo walked in to the cave and worked on starting the fire after a few minutes he had one lit.
He then went and picked up Tohru and they went in to the cave Shirgure and Yuki followed Just then it began to flood the rain came down Hard and the wind was blowing.
every once in a while lighting would struck something close by as each time came Tohru would hide her face.
"Tohru do you not like storms "? asked Shirgure
" I- I they scare me" said Tohru hearing this Kyo pulled Tohru Close that's when he noticed some thing " Tohru , your burning up again! why did.'nt you tell me?" said Kyo
" I didn't wont to be a burden " said Tohru " Look at me , you are no Burden do you under stand?" said Kyo.
"Yes" said Tohru. Soon the storm was over " I"m hungry" said Shirgure " we all are" you stupid dog" said Yuki.
Kyo then got an idea " let me see your shoe strings" said Kyo " why"? asked Yuki " just do it you damn rat" said Kyo
Every one did what they was asked . Kyo then took the shoe strings and tied the to gather " now all I need is a hook" said Kyo
" Um wood this do ?" asked Tohru holding up a safety pin " That's great" said Kyo as he took it from her and gave her a Kiss on the fore head
" Alright I'm off to see if I can't get us some food , Shirgure you need to gather more fire wood" said Kyo as he walked out of the Cave
Shirgure headed out to gather the wood and kyo headed down to the river. Once he was at the river he look around to see if he could find any bugs he could use for bait.
He soon found a big beetle he placed it on the make shift hook and throw the line out in to the water about five minutes went by and he got a bite . he pulled the fish in" Alright one down and more to go" Kyo thought to his self
He repeated this process a few times until he got three fish at this time it was now getting dark so he head back to the cave. Shirgure had gathered the wood. " welcome Back and you have dinner" said Shirgure.
" Just how do you suppose we cook them?" asked Yuki
" watch and learn you damn Rat" said Kyo As time went by Kyo cleaned the fish and placed them on sticks over the fire " There" said Kyo
He then looked over at Tohru she was sleeping peacefully " we got another long night a head of us" said Yuki
" yep" said Shirgure " do you think some one will find us " asked Yuki " Just Shut Up already you damn rat" said Kyo
Soon the fish was done and and every one eat a little Kyo woke Tohru up to eat but she ended up getting sick when she tried to
This only causing more worry for Kyo And the others for she was growing weaker.
