A/N: I'm posting this early since I don't get out of work till late today. I was going to do it this chapter, but I think I'll save it for next chapter, I'm going to write personal Thank you's again. So make sure you log in and review, because I have a difficult time of thanking every one if I include anonymous names as well, but I do love you all the same I swear. I hope you guys like this chapter I'm reintroducing NurseChuck, but he doesn't appear until next time. I'm sorry if it seems a little weird, but I'm trying something differant from what I normally do so I promiseif it seems weird,it's on purpose and it will all turn out okay in the end.
Tohru looked around in the dark. Suddenly all she could hear, was the squeal of tires, and her own screaming voice, but there was something, faint at first, that grew louder. "Tohru, Tohru! Wake up, it's just a dream, wake up." Kyou was shaking her gently.
"Kyou!" Tohru threw her arms around his neck, crying.
00 This is amazing 00 Kyou wrapped his arms around her, and rubbed her back. "It's okay, Tohru. It was only a dream. I may not have been there to protect you when the accident happened, but I promise you, that from now on, I'll never let you get hurt again, ever."
The tears streaming down her cheaks halted. Tohru looked up at Kyou blushing. "Thank you." 00 That's just what I needed to hear. 00 her stomach growled, loudly. Her blush deeped "I guess I should, start breakfast." She said losening the grip she had on Kyou's waist.
"No, you can barely move. Stay here, I'll make us breakfast and we can eat together." He hid his face as he left the room, he was crimson.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kyou set about the kitchen, making some simple rice balls. As he did this Shigure came in. "Why Kyou how sweet of you to make us breakfast." He sang.
"I wasn't making any for you! I'm making it for-"
"Now Kyou you don't want your dearest cousins to starve do you, ah me, I'm sure Tohru wont mind getting out of bed to make me and Yuki something-"
"Fine!" Kyou yelled, slightly distempered. When he finnished making enough for all four of them, he set aside six, and brought them in with him to Tohru's room.
He knocked on the door, and then entered with the tray. "It's nothing as fancy as you make, but eat up, you need to build your strength."
"Thanks, Kyou! It looks delicious." Tohru grabbed a rice ball, and bit happily into it. "Mmmm...yummy!"
Kyou blushed, and grabbed his second rice ball. "There just plan rice balls." He bit into it.
"Yes, but you made them with love in your heart, so they taste all the better for it." Yuki stepped into the room.
"Yuki?" Tohru had never heard him be so nice to Kyou.
"I don't think they taste any differant." Kyou mumbled.
"Then, perhaps Miss Honda is eating them with love in her heart." He turned to Tohru. "Nurse Chuck is here, to start your physical therapy." He smiled warmly.
"Okay, let me just finnish eating, and I'll meet him in the living room." She said reaching for another rice ball.
"I'll be sure to tell him." Yuki glanced at Kyou before leaving.
"I hope it won't be too difficult." Tohru smiled.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I can stay with you if you want." Kyou said.
"Really, Kyou that would be great. Thank you so much, you're really going out of your way to make me feel better. At this rate I'll be healed in no time at all."
"I'm sure you'd get better just fine without my help. But I want you to know you can depend on me too." Kyou blushed, picking up te empty tray. "Wait here, I'll help you to the other room."
"Oh, but I can-"
"Wait here, I won't have you making yourself worse." He snapped over his shoulder on his way to the kitchen.
00 He's so worried about me. I've never seen him be so kind. 00
"Alright" Kyou knelt down next to Tohru. "Put your arm around my shoulder, I'll help you up."
"Thank you." She hesitated after putting her arm around him.
"What is it?" Kyou blushed again.
"It's just, I'm still not used to it. I canhold ontoyou and you're still you." She smiled.
"Yeah. It is a bit weird, I guess." The blush deepened. "C'mon lets go, 'nurse' Chuck is waiting." 00 That guy is not a nurse. 00
A/N: I've decided to make Yuki want them to be together, and to make Kyou dislike Nurse Chuck, these may not be permanent charactoristics though. Please review before Friday so I can thank you all properly!
