Title: A fight to Remember
Authors: Purrmeow and Krys
Rating: R (the first few chapters won't seem like it.)
Disclaimer: The characters in this story obviously do not belong to use,
because if they did we would likely be rich and not be writing a fan
fiction, which makes us no money. This story is currently being written in
the format of RPing (role playing) between us, the two authors. To make the
shifts in POV clearer, each reply will be a separate chapter labeled with
the narrating character. This plot takes place just after where the TV
series leaves off. *Note: ~ will be used to indicate flashbacks and * to
indicate a shift to the POV of others characters, such as Tohru or Shigure.
Chapter Five: Kyou
Freezing, his entire body felt as though it were frozen, his skin as cool as the surface of a frozen lake, and no amount of blankets could warm the frozen surface; like a tidal wave, a shiver rushed through his entire body, and he convulsed at the feeling. Grunting deep in his throat, he cracked open crimson eyes, and growled at the sunlight that rushed in at the given opportunity, immediately closing his eyes tightly. He couldn't quite place it, but Kyou felt dissociated, something felt wrong, out of place, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pinpoint the source of it. But his body also felt surprisingly weak, and breathing alone pinched at his lungs, leaving the neko both breathless and in pain. Outwardly wincing, the red head began to pant, taking in small breath after small breath in an attempt to lessen the pain.
Attempting to crack open one eye yet again, his red eyes focused on the seemingly stale fluorescent light fixture that hung above his bed, zooming in and out as his chest heaved in sequence with the action. He knew he was going to hyperventilate if he didn't stop, but even so, his breath quickened, and his entire world seemed to shrink with that.
What could he possibly have done to himself to end up like this? He asked himself as his vision blurred, and his hands clenched into tight fists. For some reason he couldn't quite place it... A ringing sounded in his ears, and for the first time, he noticed the pain in the back of his head. His eyes clenched shut yet again, his breathing becoming more and more shallow. His nerves felt on edge, as his heart beat thudded loudly in his ears, like the steady pounding of a drum, and it made his head hurt all the more; and an anger welled up deep within his body... Kyou was horrified, what could possibly have been happening to him? Why was he stuck in a hospital bed? And, what was happening to his body?
