Chapter 4

Battles of the Heart, Body, and Mind



Kyo lifted to his feet, what Yuki said had not registered in his mind yet. 'Maybe? Maybe… I…I do need this?' Kyo said walking into Yuki's room in a trance. "Kyo, what are you doing?", Yuki's voice made him awake from his dream like state. Kyo looked over at Yuki with hazed crimson eyes. Yuki was sitting on the edge of his bed looking confused, but almost confident.

"I need to ask you something", Kyo said with an expression of sadness and deep thought. Yuki again only let out a small noise in fear that his voice would fail him. "Well", Kyo said climbing onto Yuki's bed and sitting in the upper corner with his back on the wall. Yuki eyes widened not knowing what his cousin was up to. His heart raced, his stomach tied itself in a hundred knots that almost made Yuki sick to his stomach. He couldn't seem to get enough air into his lungs, almost like the air around him was beginning to thin. "Has your heart ever told you to do something, but your mind forced you to figure out every possible thing that was wrong with the situation?" Yuki head was beginning to spin, the air was surely teasing him, becoming thinner, going into his lungs but not guaranteeing him another breath. Suddenly Yuki's body swayed back and forth, his breathing became wheezy, and his eyes rolled back into his head as he fell onto the floor limply. He was having an asthma attack.

"He should be fine.", said the reassuring voice of Hatori as he began to dig through his bag. "What were you two doing up there?", Shigure said with an obvious hint of fear. "I was just talking to him, I swear! And if you going to blame this all on me sayin-" "We aren't saying anything Kyo.", Hatori said plainly pulling out a bottle of medicine and a inhaler. "Shigure, I need to go back to the house and get another inhaler, and some other things that you obviously don't have around this house. I need you to come with me and help me pick out what you don't have so that I won't bring extra things." "Are you sure that it would be alright? With Yuki in this-" Shigure was cut off by Hatori. "Yes, he should be fine, as long as he doesn't get up and move around. Kyo, your going to have to make sure he doesn't move around, we'll only be gone for a few hours, try not to kill him in his sleep. And make sure he eats a little bit of something when he wakes up, if we aren't here." Kyo only nodded, not wanting to scream at Hatori, even though every nerve in his body told him to, so that he wouldn't wake Yuki.

"What do you think caused it, Hatori? If they were just sitting on a bed?". Shigure questioned with a creased brow. "Well, it could be a number of things. Dust in the house." "But Tohru cleans!" Shigure protested. "Well then, laughing can also cause it. And nervousness too." Hatori said as he opened his car door.

The only sign of life left in Yuki was his shallow breathing. Kyo sat at the side of the couch flipping through channels on the television. Every time he flipped through one channel he would look back at Yuki to make sure he was still alive, and he hadn't disturbed him. Yuki's skin was even paler. It looked as though he could be transparent and you could see right through him like a spirit. Kyo suddenly felt a responsible feeling come over him and he headed to the kitchen to do anything that would help Yuki. He opened the freezer and picked up a handful of ice, wincing at the burning sensation in the palm of his hand. He walked back into the living room and set the glass down on a the table next to the couch. He touched the rag on Yuki's forehead ever so gently and felt that it had become hot. He removed it and dipped it under the faucet. He brought it back to Yuki and placed it on his forehead. Yuki took a deep breath and let out a sigh of comfort. A small trace of a smile ran across Kyo's lips. He fixed the covers at the end of Yuki's feet. He looked up at Yuki's face to see the pale boy with weakly half lidded eyelids open. "Are you hungry?" Kyo questioned. "Yuki glanced down at the table beside the couch and made a weak sound, almost like an injured puppy. A part of Kyo felt like it died as he saw how fragile Yuki was.

Kyo sat at what little edge was left on the couch by Yuki's waist and lifted the glass to let him drink. Kyo examined Yuki's face as his eyes were closed while drinking the drink. A small mixture of purple and blue had formed on the inner corners of his eyes. His skin had only a little more color than before and his lips were pale. A sudden snap formed into Kyo's mine when he remembered what Hatori had told him about making Yuki eat. He sat the glass down and went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. His eyes met some fresh strawberries that where never opened. 'Hatori must have given then to Shigure or something." He said as he cut then up and put them into a bowl.

Kyo sat back down beside Yuki with his elbows on his knees, his back hunched over, and his arms holding the bowl far away from his legs. He glanced back at Yuki and saw him weakly sit up halfway. Kyo set down the strawberries and bend Yuki's pillow so that he could sit up more. He handed Yuki the strawberries and watched him eat them weakly. Yuki shot a small thankful smile to Kyo. A small smile appeared on Kyo's face, but inside his heart dropped to his feet with excitement. After Yuki finished he placed the strawberries on the floor beside the couch and fell asleep on his side. Kyo watched him for a few minutes to make sure that sleep has taken over his mind. He leaned over to stroke the slightly damp strands of gray hair out of Yuki's eyes and lightly kissed his forehead. Yuki sighed and the corners of his mouth twitched up ever so slightly. Kyo flinched backwards with his heart racing, but realized Yuki was still asleep. Kyo thought to himself as he sat at the foot of Yuki and laid back gently on his legs. 'Maybe I do need this.'
