Chapter 5: Damages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyo was just about to sit down at the table for breakfast when he heard,
"KYO KUN!!!"
His automatic reaction was to hightail it to the nearest back exit, but Shigure grabbed him by the collar saying,
"Where are you going, YUKI?"
Kyo stopped struggling and began to laugh when he realized what Shigure meant. 'At least this body is good for one thing.'
Yuki looked up as he saw Kyo hightail it out of the room, looked back down at the floor, then jumped when he realized that he was the one that was in danger this time. He got up to run but it was too late, as soon as he was on his feet Kagura came running in.
Hatori was just getting out of his car when Kyo was sent flying through the front door of the house, with Kagura following soon after. 'Oh dear…Looks like it's a good thing I came after all,' he thought as he stepped through the broken door, he was immediately greeted by Shigure,
"Ha san, you came after all! It's g-"
"Save it. Start explaining while we wait for Kagura to finish."
Kyo kept his distance but watched (and loved) every moment of pain that Kagura was inflicting on Yuki.
"Kyo!"
Kyo jumped, startled out of his thoughts of how his could get Kagura to torture Yuki even further, and turned to see Hatori…glaring down at him. He looked past Hatori to make sure Tohru wasn't around before he stood and replied,
"Yeah, what do you want?" he saw Hatori raise an eyebrow to his reply before he said,
"After I tend to Yuki's wounds, I want to do an examination…you first since Yuki will be out cold for a while."
"Yeah, Yeah…I'll be upstairs when you need me," Kyo muttered as he headed up the stairs. 'Why did Shigure call Hatori anyway? What can a doctor do for two people that have switched bodies?'
"Oh!! Hatori!! It's a good thing you're here, look at my poor Kyo!! Will he be alright!?" Kagura whined and wept as Hatori examined and patched Yuki up. Even though he had heard this kind of speech several times before…Hatori couldn't help but sigh and wish someone would gag that annoying girl. She took up so much of his time by beating Kyo to a pulp then crying and whining like she just happened to walk up and find him hurt that badly.
"There. All done…but," he said, stopping Kagura from cracking Yuki's ribs even more with one of her hugs, "He needs lots of undisturbed bed rest…so it would be best if you came to visit another day, Kagura." She started to protest but stopped when she received a glare from Hatori.
"I'll let you know when he's better, ok?"
"…Alright…good bye everyone…" she lowered her head and slowly walked out the broken front door.
About two seconds later, Tohru came walking through it with her head turned back, looking at Kagura.
"…is Kagura not staying? I had gone to the store to get some more ingredients so that there would be enough for all of us…Oh!!! Did she do all of this!?" she looked around the room…It would take some time before the house repairs would be done…and poor Kyo…
"Yes! My poor house!! When will everyone stop trying to see how much they can break in under a minute…" whined Shigure.
"Shigure, quit your whining unless you'd like a check up too," as Hatori said this, he held up a fairly large needle, which shut Shigure up quick. Tohru just sweatdroped and went upstairs to see if she could get anything out of Yuki…he was usually pretty open with her…Though…something about him always gave her the creeps deep down…It's like there is a darker side to him that he never shows…She was about to knock on his door when Shigure whined from downstairs,
"Tohru!! What wonderful thing is on the menu for today's lunch? I'm starving!" she sighed and turned to go back down stairs…she'd have to wait and ask Yuki later…
"Shigure, we just ate a little while ago…what are you planning?"
"Ha san, we don't want little Tohru to over hear our conversation, now do we? We can talk while she cooks…and besides, if she starts cooking a big meal now…it will be ready by lunch time." Hatori sighed then grabbed his bag and headed upstairs with Shigure right behind him. When they entered Yuki's room, Kyo had tossed a tennis ball in the air, it came back down and bounced off of his head when he had become distracted by them entering. With some complaints from Kyo, Hatori did a full examination, two times over, and found…nothing. The only reason he even knew something was wrong was because of the snappy comments he was being given that had "Kyo" written all over them. He hoped something would turn up from the samples he had taken from Yuki and Kyo.
"I'll let you know if I find out anything."
"Thanks for your time Ha san…It's a shame you couldn't find anything though…"
"Feh! I knew he wouldn't find anything all along! How could h-" Kyo stopped when he received a furious glare from Hatori. 'He's scary when he's mad!' he thought as he slipped up stairs, away from Hatori's terrifying glare.
"Ha san! You're not staying!?"
"Why should I?"
"Because then Tohru will have worked so hard to fix such a big meal that will only go to waste and-"
"Fine! I stay for lunch…but then I'm leaving!" Hatori gave Shigure a glare so that he wouldn't push the subject further…He didn't need Shigure to get him in an even fouler mood…
