Down With the Sickness
Chapter 3
Kyo walked upstairs with a glass of water. He quietly walked into Tohru's room. It was his turn to make sure she got some liquids into her. He walked over to Tohru's bed. She was fast asleep. He really didn't want to wake her up, but he had to. It was the only way to get fluids into her. He gently shook her.
"Tohru come on you have to drink something," Kyo told her quietly.
Tohru slowly opened her eyes, however she only opened them half way.
"K..Kyo..kun" Tohru managed to stammer.
"Yep, now come on drink some water," Kyo said as he helped her sit up.
He held the glass to her lips and she slowly took three tiny sips. When she was done Kyo took the glass away and slowly laid her back down onto her bed.
"Thank.you," Tohru said before she fell back into a feverish sleep.
Kyo nodded and then left the room. He went outside, it was night out and stars were visible. He jumped up on to the roof and went to his normal spot. He laid down on the roof and looked up at the sky. He then began to think.
'Why didn't we notice it? It's because of that smile of hers. She tries to deal with everything herself. She's so stupid, but yet I can't be mad at her. She accepts me for me. What is the weird feeling I get when I'm around her? Acceptance? Or is it something more?' Kyo pondered to himself.
Morning came quickly. Shigure called Tohru's grandfather so that he could call Tohru in sick for school and also to inform him of Tohru's illness. Kyo and Yuki both were refusing to go to school, but when Shigure mentioned that Tohru's friends would be worried and then mad if they weren't told the two quickly changed their minds. Tohru's friends could be nice, but they could also be scary. So, the two left for school, but before they did they told Shigure that if he did anything Tohru he would definitely get it from not only them, but from Tohru's two friends as well. He froze, but then promised to not do anything except stuff that had medical purpose.
~:~:~:~At School~:~:~:~
"Yuki!" Momiji yelled down the hall.
Yuki turned at the sound of his name. He had just finished telling Tohru's friends that she was ill. They had said they were coming over right after school, but Yuki and Kyo managed to persuade them that the doctor said it was best that Tohru rest. The two hesitantly agreed to wait a little bit before visiting. Momiji jumped into Yuki's shoulders. Yuki looked up at him and then he noticed Haru standing there. Haru took Momiji off Yuki, against Momiji's protests of course. It was then that Momiji noticed something was missing.
"Where's Tohru-kun?" Momiji asked.
Yuki looked at him sadly before answering, "She's sick."
"Is Tohru going to be ok?" Momiji asked.
"Yes, we had Hatori come last night to check on her. He said that it most likely is the flu or just a cold," Yuki stated, but then hesitated.
"There's something more that you're not telling us isn't there?" Haru stated.
Yuki nodded.
"Hatori also said that it's possible that she has pneumonia. If she does then we'll have to take her to the hospital," Yuki stated.
"Oh no poor Tohru-kun," Momiji stated sadly, I'll tell daddy that Tohru can't work ok?"
"Thanks Momiji," Yuki said kindly.
Momiji nodded.
The rest of school went by slow for all of the Souma relatives. Finally the bell rang and everyone was free to leave for the weekend.
~:~:~:~Two hours later at Momiji's dad's work~:~:~:~
"Daddy Tohru-kun is really sick so she can't come to work for a while," Momiji stated, "I'm going to go visit her ok."
Momiji's dad nodded. Momiji left his dad's office when he closed the door behind him he saw Haru standing there with Kisa.
"I found her standing outside of the building," Haru stated.
"Is it true?" Kisa asked softly, "Is oneechan really sick?"
"Yes, would you like to come with me to go visit her?" Momiji asked.
Kisa nodded.
"I'll come with you too," Haru stated.
So all three of them left the office building and headed to Shigure's house.
~:~:~:~ Shigure's House(after school)~:~:~:~
Kyo and Yuki got home as fast as they could when they arrived Shigure was running around the house.
"We're home," the two boys called out.
Shigure rushed up to them carrying a bucket.
"Welcome home," Shigure stated.
"Hey Shigure what's the bucket for?" Kyo asked.
Shigure looked at the bucket in his hands and then turned back to the two boys, "Well, Tohru started throwing up around lunch time today and I can't seem to get her to drink anything."
"What? What do you mean you can't get her to drink it?" Yuki asked.
"She drinks it, but she just throws it right back up," Shigure answered.
Yuki and Kyo ran up to Tohru's room. She was asleep with a large amount of covers and blankets on her. She was breathing heavily. When they walked over to her bedside they noticed that she had a wet cloth on her head and also that she was beginning to look very pale.
"Well, at least she's not coughing up blood," Kyo stated.
Yuki nodded in agreement. They both left the room to help Shigure. About two hours later there was a knock at the door. Yuki got up and answered it. When he opened the door he saw Momiji, Kisa, and Haru standing there. All three of them walked into the house and Yuki closed the door behind them.
"What are all of you doing here?" Yuki asked.
"We came to visit Tohru," Momiji stated as he took off his shoes.
"Is oneechan alright?" Kisa asked quietly once her shoes were off.
"Yuki who is it?" Shigure asked from the other room.
"It's Momiji, Haru, and Kisa. They're here to see Tohru," Yuki answered.
"Can we see oneechan?" Kisa asked.
Yuki looked at her and say the sad and worried look on her face.
Yuki nodded, "Yes, but you have to be quiet because she's resting. Now, follow me."
The three nodded and quietly followed Yuki upstairs and into Tohru's bedroom.
Kisa and Momiji walked over to Tohru's bedside.
"Oneechan?" Kisa asked.
"Tohru?" Momiji whispered.
Tohru, however, stayed asleep. After they visited for a little bit they decided to leave knowing that Tohru needed her rest. As they were leaving Haru said something.
"She looked extremely pale. She also looked weak. You may want to take her into the hospital even if she doesn't have pneumonia," Haru stated before he turned and left.
"When Tohru wakes up tell her to get well soon," Momiji said.
"I will. Have a safe journey home," Yuki said.
With that Momiji and Kisa turned and caught up with Haru. They waved goodbye until Yuki shut the door. Upstairs he heard Tohru cough. It was going to be a long weekend.
