A/N: In this chapter there is interest shown in Tohru by Yuki and Kyou. Yuki's is soft and sweet but Kyou's seems borderline creepy in reflection. Please pardon me for the part about the soup, I am really bad with food, and should stop putting it in my stories. Please read and review, if you're shy e-mail the review, I just want to know what you think, and I don't get much friendly e-mail so I wouldn't mind getting them, comments, suggestions, pictures, whatever. On an off topic does anyone else believe the Sohma's don't wear underwear? You never see any when the transform, suspicious isn't it?
When she went downstairs to do the dishes, Tohru found that they had already been done, so she started on breakfast. Kyou came downstairs first. "Tohru?" He looked around to see if she was the only one up. Seeing that she was alone, he felt safe to ask "Are you okay?" She was acting weirder than usual.
"I'm fine why?" She asked.
"You've been acting weird since yesterday, you keep screwing things up"
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to, I've just been...a little distracted"
"Well snap out of it!" Kyou yelled. /Why do I have to worry about her so much/ "I'm not hungry." Kyou went up to the roof.
"Mmm. Smells delicious Miss Honda, what are we having?" Yuki said entering the kitchen.
"Um...I...don't know!" Tohru was so distract, she hadn't even noticed what she was throwing into the pot she was stirring. "I think it's soup?" She really wasn't sure.
"Miss Honda, have you been feeling well?" He felt her forehead " You're burning up, you've been over working yourself again, you should go back to bed"
"Oh, but I couldn't, we have a test today, and I promised mom"
"No excuses, if you took the test in this condition you wouldn't be able to pass, and I'm sure your mother would understand if you miss one day"
Shigure had wandered in stretching his arms. "Tohru, are you feeling ill"
"A little"
"You should stay home, I have an appointment in town today so I can't take care of you, but Kyou doesn't seem to plan on going to school today, I'm sure he'd be happy to take care of you"
"There's no way I'm letting"
"Hush, Yuki you can't stay home today, you have a student council meeting"
"Fine." /He's right, I can't skip today./ "But if your condition gets worse, Miss Honda I want you to call Hatori"
"Oh, I don't think it'll get that bad I'll just take a nap and I'll be fine." Tohru said in her quiet cheery way, that just made Yuki worry more.
"I'll go up and tell Kyou what's going on, Yuki you take Tohru upstairs.
"Okay. Let's go Miss Honda." He guided her towards the stairs with his hand at the small of her back.
They walked up the stairs slowly, Tohru was a little dizzy, so she held onto the railing for support. /In this condition, I don't see how she could even think of going to school/
When Yuki tucked her into bed she was already asleep. "Sweet dreams Miss Honda." He kissed her forehead and turned the lights out.
When Tohru woke up she turned to see Kyou sitting against the adjacent wall, he was staring at the floor. "Kyou"
"Tohru, you're up!" Kyou was startled. "Shigure said you were sick, do you feel any better?" He asked, concerned.
/I wonder how long he's been sitting there./ "I guess I feel a little better..." Her stomach interrupted loudly, "I do feel hungry though"
"I'll go make you some rice balls, stay in bed, I don't want you to get up too soon"
Tohru sat in bed, the light was off but sun filtered through the window and she could see the rest of the room clearly. She looked around, and then she saw it, she'd had a feeling it was there. A small origami rose on the window sill. She got out of bed weakly, and walked over to it. There was a note she hesitated before opening it. She was surprised to find instead of a short sentiment, a more personal note.
"I hope you will feel better soon. You are most beautiful when color fills your face"
/Hana and Uo can't be right about him, no one bad could write such kind words/
"Tohru, what are you doing up? You're still not feeling well enough to be walking around." Kyou put down the rice balls he was carrying and started to walk towards her. Tohru slipped the note into the pocket of her nightgown.
"I'm sorry, I wanted to let some sun into the room." She said pulling back the curtains.
Kyou felt her forehead. "You still have a fever, so you'd better get back into bed." He fluffed her pillow so that she could sit up and eat. Kyou had some too.
"These are really good." Tohru said.
"No they aren't, they're just plain rice balls, nothing in them to make them any good"
"It was still nice of you to make them for me, thank you"
"You're welcome"
Kyou left again so that Tohru could get some sleep, but she wasn't tired anymore. She tried to read a book, but all she could think about was her secret admirer . She tried to figure out who it could be, but realized she wasn't very good at deduction. She decided to ask Hana and Uo the next day at school, and fell asleep.
