"You're going down today, kuso nezumi!!!" Kyo challenged with a shout.
"Always the same old, same old, baka neko. When are you going to get tired of losing...??" Yuki said, coughing slightly.
"Shut up!!! Today you're really going to go down!!! Just because you're sick, doesn't mean you can back out!!!?"
"KUUSOOO NEZUUUMIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"Kyo angrily threw a punch at his pillow, causing it to rip in half. He looked down at it for a moment, then felt his anger boil up again.
Kyo and Yuki had another heated battle again, and once again, Kyo lost. And after he so confidently boasted that today was the day Yuki goes down.
"Kuso! Now I don't even have a freakin' pillow!!! Grrr...damn nezumi...."Kyo furiously waved away feathers that were slowly falling down around him like snow."Now now Kyo, you know that the pillow ripping in half wasn't Yuki-chan's fault!"Kyo turned at the voice, and the figure who spoke out stood against the doorframe, smirking."What do you want, baka hentai inu....?" Kyo hissed at Shigure, turning to stare at his pillow again."Oh, you're so mean, Kyo! Can't one just come to check on his beloved cousin????" Shigure said [hint of some sappy-ness in his voice xD]".....For you, no. Now what do you WANT? I'm in no mood to joke around with you.""Ohhhh....well, Yuki is feeling a little off today, he has a slight cold! I was wondering if you could be a good little kitty and run to the drug store for some medicine? We ran out!" Shigure said with a little wave of his hands."Why the HELL would I want to do anything for that kuso nezumi?!!!?Kyo shouted.Shigure covered his ears, "Temper, temper!!! Tsk tsk....and I thought that anger management class we sent you to a week ago would have worked at least a teensy bit--""Shut up. And go away, I'm NOT going to run my ass to the drug store for that prissy boy."'Besides...he'll never do the same for me...." Kyo thought furiously."Oh come on, KyOooOoo-chaaan!!! Or else I'll tell Tohru to cook us some of her delicious leek stew again!!! Oh, and I think I got a great recipe from online how to make some killer leek brownies! Oh, and just the other day Tohru told me she found a new recipe for leek--""OK!! That's enough!!! I'll go, I'll go!!! Just...tell Tohru to cook something...meaty! You better, damn inu!!!""That's what I thought! And of course I'll tell her, Kyo! I myself am more of a meat eater anyhow!""Grrr....someday, when I'm older and get enough money I'm gonna move out of this hell house....." Kyo muttered to himself.oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was a cold, winter morning. It was so cold that Kyo had to jog to keep warm. In his hands was a small plastic bag, inside a cold medicine for Yuki.
Here and there were small spots of patches of ice and piles of snow. He sneezed once, just out of the sheer coldness of the air.
'Stupid Yuki....no wonder he got sick. He probably stayed out all night to take care of his stupid little garden-that's-supposed-to-be-a-secret.....' Kyo thought as he kept jogging.
He felt a cold, wet burn on his face, and he quickly rubbed it with his free hand. He looked up, and saw that it was snowing. He cursed, and started to jog a bit faster to get home and out of the snow.
The snow started to come down harder, and Kyo ran faster. He saw the house coming into view slowly. His attention was so focused on the house ahead, that he didn't notice the massive patch of ice on the ground looming closer and closer....
Kyo suddenly felt his feet slip out from under him, and he felt himself falling at rapid speed backwards. He would have tried to use his graceful- ness as a cat to turn and land on his hands and knees, but because he ran so fast he was falling too fast for him to react at all.
He felt the impact of the ice on the back of his head and he cried out in pain. First he saw stars, then saw flashes of Tohru cooking steak, Shigure procrastinating on his book, and of Yuki sleeping, Yuki at school, Yuki wearing the dress the upperclassmen gave him, Hatori taking a picture of him and Yuki, Yuki helping Tohru with homework and housework, Yuki smiling, Yuki......
"Baka....onna...otoko....torturing me with your face even when I'm about to die? Shit....."Then everything went black.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"Shigure-san....where's Kyo? Did he still not come back from the drug store??Tohru asked worriedly.
"Huh....you're right, he should have been back by now....where is that short tempered little neko??" Shigure said as he replaced the wet towel on Yuki's head with a new one.
"Shigure....really, I feel fine now. I don't need medicine anymore, I think.....but...Honda-san, you said something about Kyo not back yet....??""Hai, Sohma-kun. He went out to get you your cold medicine around 30 minutes ago, but he hasn't come back yet!" Tohru said, glancing nervously at the clock.
"Where's that baka neko now...he didn't have to go out in this weather to help me...." Yuki muttered to himself, a hint of a blush and worry on his face.
Shigure and Tohru looked at each other and smiled a little. They've known for a while now, that Yuki may have a little thing for Kyo, no matter how he acted towards the orange-haired shounen and how hard he tried to hide it.
"Don't worry Sohma-kun...I'm sure he'll come back home soon...." Tohru said gently.
"Come back home soon...from where? And why the hell would he be staying out in this weather? It's practically a blizzard out there! Even Kyo is not stupid enough to stay out when the weather this bad.....something's wrong." Yuki said, now not bothering to hide that he was worried as hell.
"Hmmm....you have a point there, Yuki-chan. Something may have happened to Kyo....but what can we do? We're all bound to catch something bad if we go out in this weather..." Shigure said, looking disapprovingly outside the window.
"I don't care...I'm going out to find him!" Yuki said as he climbed out of bed, grabbing his thickest jacket and scarf.
"Now you're being reckless, Sohma-kun!!! I'll go find him, you're still sick-!""Look, I'm sick, but Kyo may be in worse shape than me right now! I can't just stay here!"With that said, Yuki was out the room and out of the house. Shigure and Tohru stood against the door, looking out in the storm for Yuki. He was nowhere to be seen. A sudden noise came from under their feet, and they looked down.
Dozens of rats and mice were running after the direction where Yuki must have gone. Tohru and Shigure decided that they might as well go in, and hope that Yuki and Kyo would come back safely and soon, before night settles in and the temperature drops even further.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Yuki ran down the road where Kyo must have gone down to go to the drug store, followed by his mice companions. He ordered them to spread out and search for Kyo. He ran for another 10 seconds, when he heard mewing.
'Mewing? Cats....that means Kyo is somewhere near!' Yuki thought quickly, following the sounds the cats were making. The rats and mice decided not to follow, in fear of the cats.
Yuki heard the meows growing louder and louder, and finally he came to a clearing, and saw a small group of cats crowding around a body on the ground, half covered in snow. He came closer, and his blood turned as icy cold as his hands. The body was Kyo.
The cats around him started hissing at Yuki, sensing him as the rat. He ignored them, and knelt down beside Kyo, digging him out of the snow. He finally dug Kyo out completely, and saw that there was a frozen pool of blood around Kyo's head.
Yuki gasped, but he didn't have time to look at Kyo's head injury now. He quickly picked Kyo up, and started to carry him fast towards his house, cat's eyes following after him.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"So....you found Kyo buried halfway in the snow, unconscious?"Yuki gravely nodded yes, looking down sadly. Hatori sighed, and went back to tending to Kyo. Shigure and Tohru stood beside Yuki, both trying their best to cheer Yuki up.
"I'm sorry Yuki....but, it's a very good thing you didn't listen to any stupid things I said about Kyo may be fine, and went off to find him. If you hadn't....who knows what would have become of him..." Shigure said softly, looking at Kyo's ghostly pale face.
"Yes, a very good thing. Another hour and Kyo may have been done for. It's a very good thing that Kyo is a healthy boy, his body is very strong. All that milk must have paid off.....he will be fine. He just has a bad bruise on the back of his head...." Hatori said in his usual calm voice, though his face was filled with worry.
"Yes...ano...about the bruise on Kyo's head......is it very serious? Will it effect him in some way....?" Tohru said.
"...........Yes...I was wondering how I was going to bring this up.....you see, about Kyo's head concussion....when he wakes up....don't be...too surprised...if you find that he has lost his memory." Hatori said slowly and carefully, as if a bomb was going to explode.
And indeed, it exploded.
"WHAT? Kyo....Kyo might lose his memory???!!" Yuki gasped.
"Oh....no!!! Kyo-kun...!!!" Tohru said with tears flowing down her face. She didn't want him to forget her, not when they were just starting to get along so well....
"...This is all my fault....if only I wasn't sick and he didn't go out to get me my medicine..." Yuki began, and ended with a fit of coughs.
"Hush! That was not your fault Yuki. You can't help when you fall sick! And here, this was clenched in Kyo's hands.....your medicine...." Shigure said, handing Yuki the plastic bag.
Yuki took it slowly, looking down at the bag sadly. He wanted to cry...but he couldn't. It was all stuck behind his eyes, refusing to come out.
"Please everyone....stop being so depressed...! You all act like Kyo died. Just be happy that he is still alive and well, and even though he loses his memory, that's a better alternative than death!" Hatori said harshly.
"We know Ha-chan...but we can't help but worry over him at least a little...how long will he be....er...asleep?" Shigure said, glancing down at Kyo, who was covered under a massive amount of blankets.
"He should wake up soon....around tomorrow at the earliest. Don't worry about his amnesia....I'm very sure it's only going to be temporary...though I don't know how long his amnesia will last....just keep your hopes up that it will be a quick one."
They all waved Hatori good-bye as he got in his car and left. Yuki was the first one to go back into the house to check on Kyo. He smiled when he saw that Kyo's face was starting to return to its normal color.
He firmly grasped one of Kyo's hands, and felt that it was still a bit cold. Yuki held Kyo's hand with both of his, trying to warm it up faster. Tohru and Shigure walked in, smiled at the cute little scene, then went off to get ready for bed, thinking it best to leave the two alone.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
