Actually the job at the college gave Yuki some time to think while working with the plants he so enjoyed. He had as yet been unable to find an apartment that he could afford. Haru's part time job was only for a couple of hours a day, and that did little to ease the burden of the sizable hospital account. Akito had made sure that it was, too.
The bill was a full month overdue before the Sohma family leader had informed the administration of the unwillingness to pay. Yuki had managed to set up a payment schedule that he could just keep up with, but that left little for the rat to put towards living expenses. He was becoming concerned that there was no way that he and his cousin could ever make it with him attending college and working part time. He was about to drop his classes and go full time when two important events happened.
Kagura met him at the hospital two weeks after Hatori had informed them of Akito's decision. She was very excited and speaking too rapidly for him to process her words.
Yuki finally had to take her to the cafeteria and get her a cup of tea. Once he had her calmed, she began again.
"I am going to help. I got a job and as long as I don't give you all that I make, no one will find out. So, I am going to help My Kyo." Yuki was amazed. Kagura had never once mentioned that she was even looking for a job. Now, suddenly she had one and a plan to go with it. It was a major improvement in the way things were going.
Haru was just coming from Kyo's room where he had stayed while the cat ate his dinner. Kagura raced over when he entered the cafeteria and once again went through the speed version of her story. Haru however, got it the first time.
"Hey, that's wonderful. I'll bet that Yuki will be able to get an apartment now. What do you think, Yuki?" Yuki smiled hopefully at the cow and the boar. He still thought that the money wouldn't be enough, but didn't want to upset his cousins.
"What's this about apartment hunting?" a voice called from the cafeteria doorway. Nijan was just arriving for his shift and had heard the last of the conversation.
"Yuki and Kyo will need a place to live when he gets out of here. The family has cut Kyo off, and he has no where to go. Plus we are all working to help pay his bill here." Haru supplied. Nijan turned to Yuki.
"Is that true? I thought you were going to school?" Nijan asked, Yuki sighed.
"I am, and I have been considering dropping out. I need to help Kyo, and I just can't make enough working part time. So, I may have to quit school." Nijan motioned a nearby table and the three Sohma's crossed to sit. The nurse was contemplating something and they watched his brows knit for a few minutes.
"I was just talking to Kyo. He didn't say anything to me about all this, or I would have suggested something sooner. How about you move in with me? I have a big place. My last roommate got married and moved into a new place, so now I live alone. I could use some help with stuff."
"I can't pay much. I only work part time, right now."
"Oh, no. I don't mean the rent as much as I hate to have to clean. If you could do that, what ever you can afford would be fine. And no dropping out of school, understand?"
"Hai. I have to go tell Kyo! He'll be thrilled I just know it." And Yuki left them to make his way to his cousins room. This would work very well. He could get Kyo out, and having a nurse around would be a great relief with Kyo's health issues. He was on an emotional high, and hoped Kyo's mood was good.
Yuki opened the door, to find Kyo in the bathroom. The sound that reached his ears gave proof to the fact that Kyo's mood was less than good. Kyo was throwing up.
