"Could...could I see him?" Toru asked.
"Of course you can!" Ayame said with one of his charming smiled. "Come along Toru, I'm sure he'll be glad to see you.You're bright smile will lighten his spirits!"
"I'm going to bed." Kyo told everyone as his laid his head back down on the table.
Tohru looked at Kyo. "Shouldn't you go upstairs to bed? I mean, it's not going to be very comfortable here...and you'll get a kink in your neck."
"I just know that Rabbit took my bed. If I go up there I'm gonna kill him."
"Oh. Well, good night! or...good morning? hmm...Sleep well! ah that's better." Tohru smiled at Kyo and Yuki.
"Good night, Honda-san. Don't work too hard. My Brother can make his own food.
Yuki went to his own room to sleep, with a parting glare at Ayame. He found Haru fast asleep on his bed. With a sigh, Yuki laid down beside him and tried to ignor the fact that Haru cuddled closer.
Ayame lead Tohru into the room and stopped as he looked at his friend. The left half of Hatori's face was battered and bruised, his lip split. Ayame's normally joyous manner dropped as he looked at his friend.
"Oh Hari..." Ayame whispered as he knelt next to the bed.
Tohru stood in the doorway. She knew Hatori was hurt, but she'd never imagined this.
"Don't look at me that way." Hatori mumbled weakly.
"Ah, Hatori...you're awake! Can I get you something?" Tohru offered.
Hatori's eye closed for a moment. The other was swollen shut. "Water?"
"Of course!"
Tohru ran out to the kitchen and returned with a glass of water. :It's all my fault, I know it is! Didn't Shigure say a while back that Hatori was always thinking of others? What if he went to talk to Akito about me? It's all my fault! Poor Hatori..."
Ayame was fussing over Shigure when Tohru walked back in. Hatori looked more than a little displeased with his current situation. It was fairly obvious that he wasn't used to being stuck in bed and he'd had enough of Ayame fussing over him.
"Take care, Tohru. Hari's a beast when he's like this. I love him so but he's got such a temper at times." Ayame warned her.
"Shut up." Hatori growled.
"You see? You see?! He forgets all manners when he's like this! Tohru is a delicate flower, Hari. I hope you won't speak to her the way you're speaking to me."
Hatori closed his eyes, clearly annoyed.
"Eh....umm, I'm sorry Hatori. Would you like me to leave?" Tohru asked she handed him the glass of water.
"No, it's perfectly all right. I just don't feel well." His hand shook as he tried to take a sip of the water.
Shigure opened an eye and grinned. "Aww. I think Hari needs a sippy-cup!"
".......get out."
Shigure starts to fake cry. "I pull you from the jaws of death, I stay up with you all night, I had to be in the car with Haru driving! Then I take you into my home so I can care for you in your time of need and this...this is how you thank me? Throwing me out of my OWN room?! Hari, you wound me!!"
A shout came from Kyo in the other room. "Hey can you keep it down in there?! For crying out loud, people are trying to sleep!"
"As if you have room to speak." Yuki retorted from upstairs.
"Shut up, You damn rat, before I come up there and make you!"
Hatori looked up at Shigure. "You let Haru drive?"
Aya took the cup from Hatori's hand and helped Hatori take a drink. "It's all right Hari. You're car looks fine. It's sitting in the flowerbed as we speak! I think Haru did wonderful. Driving at his age. And to park it in the garden, what a lovely idea!!! I wish I had a car to park in a garden."
Hatori choked on the water and coughed. "The...flowerbed?"
"It's okay, Ha-chan. No harm done." Shigure yawned. "Well, I think I'm going to find somewhere to sleep. Ha-chan isn't as willing to share a bed as my beloved Ayame."
"Shigure, man of my heart!" Aya yelled as he thew his arms open wide.
"Leave...and take Aya with you. I'm tired of his ranting." Hatori remarked, looking away from them.
Ayame stopped and looked at the pained expression on Hatori's face. "Poor Hari....."
"leave....please."
"Someone is supposed to stay with you, Ha-chan. I promised. ." Shigure told Hatori.
"I can stay with Hatori." Tohru offered. "If he doesn't mind that is."
"Tohru can stay. She's quiet enough." He agreed
"You see! Now how often do I say that Tohru would make the perfect wife! She's so helpful and.."
*BAM*
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?! And how many times do I have to say Tohru is no one's wife?! Would you just tell her what she needs to know and leave?!"
Kyo stood in the doorway, his cat ears poking out from his fiery hair. Shigure sat at his feet rubbing his head.
"OK, Ok. You don't have to be so mean, Kyo. " Shigure whined as he rummaged around in the bag on the floor and handed Tohru the list of instructions. "I shouldn't be too long, but he'll be do for his anitibiotics, pain relievers, and sleeping pills in about half an hour. And...if nature should call, call me. He's supposed to stay off of his feet."
Hatori gave his friend an evil glare.
"You learned that from Akito, didn't you?" Shigure remarked with a smile. "Rest up, Hari. Don't strain yourself. I'll be back in a bit. I leave you in Tohru's capable hands. I and Ayame will be in Kyo's room."
"Oh Gure~ Are you going to make me wait all morning?" Ayame sang from the steps.
"You guys are sick! I hope you don't mind sharing the room with the Rabbit." Kyo waited until they left the room then turned to Tohru. "Hey, Tohru...I think Hari might need some soup. I mean you're supposed to have something in your stomach when you're taking medicine and all. I can watch him while you heat some."
"Um, ok. I'll be back in a jiffy!"
Tohru left the room and Kyo sat down on the edge of the bed. "You know, I was really worried that you would take Tohru away from us. I just want to say...thanks. I didn't think you had enough backbone to stand up to Akito. I guess I can understand though. You've got to deal with that bastard day in and day out, no matter what his mood and after he took Kana away from you.... It must be hell dealing with him,but you still do it. Why?"
Hatori was silent for a long time. Kyo normally avoided him, but this time the Cat had gone out of his way to talk to him. "Because......it is my duty, my role in the curse."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" Next to the cat, the dragon is the least wanted of all the curses. It has always been kept close to the god. It's power is too important and too much of a risk to be allowed to stray. The dragon is shaped and trained to serve the god to the point where it becomes nearly impossible for the dragon to disobey. It's just the way of things, it is how it must be. The dragon can never disobey the god." Akito's voice eched through Hatori's mind.
"So you see, you're life belongs to me. Ever since you were a babe, you're life has been shaped to my needs. You are my puppet. It is the dragon's place in the curse."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AUTHOR'S NOTE: OK well that's one part of the reason Hatori obeys Akito. from my point of view at least. The other part might come in a later chapter. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. It's a good deal more comedic than the last. AS always let me know if you'd like me to continue.
Note: I encourage reviews. If you want see more please say so in the review so I know when to stop being everyone. Also I'd like to apologize for using the wrong nicknames. My DVD player is on the fritz and I never paid attention to nicknames before this.
