"WHAT?? HOW??" Shigure said pretty loudly, for he was extremel worried about Tohru's health.
"We don't know, it mostly likely started when we moved tohru into the other hospital." Hatori said.
"I'll go tell Yuki, and Kyo." Shigure said, and hung up the phone.
"YUKI! KYO! GET DOWN HERE NOW! I HAVE SOMETHING URGENT TO TELL YOU!" Shigure screamed upstairs.
Both Yuki and Kyo were shoked to hear Shigure sounding very serious for once, so they immedietly went down stairs.
"What's wrong Shigure?" Yuki asked.
Shigure said nothing, he just stared at the two sternly.
"Shigure??" Yuki repeated.
"Its... Its Tohru.." He began.
"What about her???" Yuki and Kyo both said sounding VERY concerned. Even though Kyo gave up on Tohru, he still care about her. ( in a little sister way.)
"She.. She has a fever.." Shigure said softly.
As soon as they heard the news, Yuki and Kyo went stormed out of the house, heading towards the hospital. 5 minutes later, Shigure was also out the door.
The three reached the hospital, everyone was already there in Tohru's room, like Momiji, Kisa, Hiro, Haru, Ayame, Hatori, Ri-chan, and Kagura. Everyone looked so worried, some were even in tears (Kisa).
"Is it true?" Yuki said, praying that they were just playing a joke. But unfortunately, Hatori nodded.
"We hafta run some test so we can find out what's wrong with her for sure, and so we'll know how to help her." Hatori murmured.
"Tohru...." Yuki whispered.
"How serious is it?" Shigure asked.
"We're still not sure, but I'll only tell you this, prepare for the worst."
Everyone grasped in shock. 'Will Tohru die?' This thought was going throught everyone's mind.
"You're kidding right Ha-san?" Ayame started. "You can't die from a fever." He laughed, but was discourage when Hatori said nothing, only giving him a look like it could happen and did happen before.
"Onee-chan...no.!" Kisa cried, as she ran out the door.
"Kisa!" Hiro yelled, running after her.
"Tohru...Don't leave me..." Yuki softly spoke in a shaky voice.
"You're wrong, Yuki! Tohru ain't gonna die. She'll wake up! You'll see." A determine Momiji said.
"Momiji's right. Tohru taught us to never give up hope." Ri-chan firmly. "I should know this better than anyone here, Tohru taught me courage, she brought back my self-esteem, and I'll never forget it."
Kagura on the other hand couldn't take it anymore, she and Tohru had been close friends ever since they first met. Tohru understood how she felt about Kyo, and She taught her how to control her emotions when around Kyo. "NO!" Kagure said, running to Kyo and crying on his chest.
Kyo was quite surprised at first, but then wrapped his arms around her, stroking her hair, trying his best to comfort her.
"You all better leave, so we run some more tests on her." Hatori said calmly. He didn't want anyone to know that he was also sad. Hatori often hid his emotions from others, the only one who understood him perfectly was, Shigure.
Shigure was about to say something, but he knew Hatori might want to have time alone with Tohru. He knew that this probably reminded of his old love, Kana.
As soon as everyone left. Hatori began to speak.
"Tohru, wake up. Can't you see that everyone is worried? I know you can hear us. Please. Yuki loves you with all his heart. He's torn up by your condition. You can feel his pain, can't you? I don't want you two to end up like Kana and I. Even though its 2 different situations, its similar in many ways." Hatori said in a fatherly voice, holding Tohru's hand. "If you won't do it for us, do it for Yuki.." Hatori said LOOKING like he was going to cry. Just then, the intercom came on, and asked for Hatori to report to the office. So Hatori left.
When he got to the office. The nurse told him that the report he was waiting for had arrived. He opened it up and his eyes widened.
"How am I gonna tell Yuki this?" Hatori asked himself sighing.
"That's the problem being a doctor." said a paramedic. "It's hard telling family that we're love one might die."
Hatori nodded then headed for Tohru's room where everyone was waiting for the news. When Hatori dorr opened the door, everyone ran to him with questioning eyes. Hatori first cleared his throat, and began to speak.
"I have the report..." Hatori said, trying to stall, so he could think of a nice way to put it.
"AND?" Everyone said simultaneously.
"Well..." Hatori said still stalling.
"Stop stalling Hatori, we need to know this, especially Yuki." Haru said.
Hatori sighed.
"We've confirmed of that Tohru has an extreme fever, and if you're thinking its not that big of a deal, you're wrong. Since Tohru is in a coma, she can't cough or sneeze out the bacteria, so we'll have to do an operation to do that for her. We're also going to use a different type of medicine to see if it has any effect on her." Hatori stated.
"So after the operation Tohru will be ok right?" Momiji asked.
"We're not sure of that. It'll all depend on Tohru." Hatori said. "Yuki, do you want Tohru to do this operation? If its a yes, we'll start tomorrow."
Yuki thought long and hard. He was wondering why Hatori asked him and not Tohru's grandfather or Shigure. Yuki knew that this operation may help Tohru, he also trusted Hatori, so he agreed.
"You should all go home, it's been a long night. You should get a good nights rest, you too Yuki. I don't want any of you staying at the hospital tonight, Am I clear?" Hatori said in a firm voice.
Everyone wanted to protest, but knew that when Hatori uses his serious voice, he was serious. About 10 minutes later, they all left.
Back at Shigure's house, all everyone could do was worry. No one could eat or sleep. Shigure and Kyo had decided to retire back to there rooms. Leaving Yuki alone, Yuki just sat in the living supposedly watching t.v., but evenutally fell asleep, for the kotatsu could even make a ghost sleepy.
"Yuki..Yuki.." Tohru said.
"Hmm?" Yuki said starting to wake up, but then eyes widened at what he saw. "Tohru! you're awake, but how?"
"Nevermind that. Yuki.. you've become thinner.." Tohru said Touching his face.
Yuki just smiled. Tohru was so beautiful, and now that she's back, he could express his feelings to her. "Tohru..I-I.."
But Tohru interuppted. "Yuki... I'm leaving now..I just came back to say hi."
"No! You can't leave." Yuki said looking like he'll burst into tears any moment.
"It's ok. Be strong Yuki. I've said before, I'll do anything to make you happy. You and Ayu make a wonderful couple." Tohru smiled.
"No...No!" Yuki said sadly.
"By Yuki! Take care, and I'll always love you.." Tohru said before disappearing.
"Tohru! TOHRU!" Yuki cried, as he suddenly woke up. "Huh? Must've been a dream. It felt so real though. Tohru..." His thought were interuppted when he hear someone knock on the door.
Yuki opened the door, hoping it was Hatori with some good news. His heart sank when he saw Ayu at the door.
"Yuki...I heard about what happened...Is she ok?" Ayu asked, avoiding her name.
"Um.. yeah. I'll talk to you later alright? bye." Yuki said and closed the door. he couldn't face her, not after the dream.
Meanwhile, Ayu just stood there at Yuki's room, crying.
"Yuki.." She said, and ran away. Before she could realize where she was going, she ended up at the hospital where Tohru was. She decided its been awhile since she'd seen her anyways.
When she got to Tohru's room, Ayu noticed that Tohru was much paler than before. And knew that something was definitely going on that she didn't know about. So she asked the nurse what happened, and the nurse filled her in. 'No wonder Yuki looks like he hasn't gotten any sleep.' Ayu though. And proceed to the chair next to Tohru's bed.
"Hi." Ayu began. "It's been awhile hasn't it? How've you been? Everyone else is fine. Tohru... Yuki is very worried about you. I heard you have a fever, Tohru you have to get better. I-I know Yuki loves you, and you feel the same way. You probably think I'm coming in between you two right? I'm sorry Tohru! I tried not to! I couldn't control my feelings...Yuki was so-so nice, caring and kind. I felt so safe when I'm with him..I-I couldn't help it. I-I fell in love with Yuki. I love him. But I know he doesn't feel the same way for me. He loves you, and only you. You probably think I'm a bitch for trying to steal Yuki away from you, and you probably don't want me to come near you, but that was never my intention, I'll be leaving soon anyway. I haven't told anyone this, but I'll be leaving Japan next month to go to the States...Tohru please wake up, you hafta wake up and be with Yuki, and stop this maddness." Ayu said in tears.
Ayu had been to busy crying to notice that Kagura was standing at the door. she was shocked, she didn't really like Ayu becuase she sensed that Ayu was stealing Yuki away from Tohru. Sometimes they became way too friendly to be friends. Half of her wanted her to leave, and half of her didn't. She thought it would be best to leave right now, considering Ayu stood up looking like she was going to leave.
"Tohru.. Take care while I'm gone ok? I'm going to get this straightened out." Ayu said and left.
