A/N: Ack, Don't kill me! My computer crashed twice, and I couldn't get it quite fixed. I had the story written and everything, then everything I owned was erased by some inane virus.The good news is the first version of the chapter really sucked and I kinda like this better so we can celebrate for that, because I'm too lazy to re-write things, just because I din't like them. Now I think I confused some of you I actually meant by friday the 14th so you were all in time to be thanked. Now then down to that like I promised.
Silversteel228 - I hope your grades improve enough that you'll get to read this. My parents tried that with me once, but they had no way of knowing if I'd gone on the computer while they were at work so I always cheated. It's okay if you can't read for a while just review when you can I don't want you to get in trouble.
Miss Yukishiro - Doh! I plan on reading one of your stories, but with my computer acting up I completely forgot. Sorry, don't worry though I'll try to do it this week, Is there a specific one you recommend, I noticed you have a few?
Itzjustme - I hate him, it's just more in charactor for him to give in. But don't think it's without a fight just yet. I think he may just decide to fight for Tohru in a differant way, he won't succeed but he can't just give up on his first love that quickly I think.
The Contessa - He is too adorable when he's in love, that's why I love Kyou so much. And making him blush a lot is one of my favorite things so you're bound to like my stories.
PlacidSnowflake - Your name sounds so tranquil! I'm glad you like my story, I worry about the boring stuff, I think I watch too much CSI and that's why I did all this, but I also wanted there to be a more deffinate clear-cut reason, for the curse to be broken. A lot of times you read this type of thing and the reason is kind of blah! I wanted to do it right, so I'm glad that you like how it's come out.
sweet-girl8270 -I'll bet you'll like all the things I have planned for Nurse Chuck. He's really a great guy I keep wishing he was real, so that I could be friends with him. He seems like the type who's secretly gay, at least the way I see him he is.
Ookami no Anubis - What does your name mean btw? Anywho, I'm too lazy to spell check but as long as I'm not in a hurry I do a good job at cutting down in that type of thing, I checked and I see what you mean, I was probably typing too fast, and of couse my computer isn't advanced enough to have spell-check.
Inu - Don't worry dear, Nurse Chuck is your friend, he means you no harm. He would never harm a dear reader of mine, otherwise I'd kill him off Mwahahaha! Oh I also ment to ask you what your comment was for chapter 6 it got cut off and I can't read it all, It seemed like a good one too.
Digitaldawn - I'm so glad to hear it when people like the technical stuff, I had a hard time understanding the stuff myself, so simplifying it was really hard. I'm glad to put a new spin on the no-curse plot line, I think sometimes people want to skip that part completely and go straight to Tohru, kissing Kyou, but I think it's important to back it up with a solid reason for the curse being gone.
TGAA PO - Kyou's in this one, but he stays quiet pretty much, you didn't review the last chapter, so I hope you did enjoy how much he was in it. I think it's the cutest a person can make Kyou without making him completely OOC.
Flame34 - Thanx! I love cookies, hey there's lint on it how long has this been in your pocket? Mmm..Still tates nummy though. Thanx for the A too, I never got such a high grade when I was in school, I think I'll print it out and post it on my fridge.
nonengel - I hope you mean differrant in a good way. I think you did, now that all that technicle jazz is outta the way I can finally start in on the love story aspect. But there will be a small bitty amount of technical stuff later on, so brace yourself for that around chapter 10 or so.
evil-pillow - I'm glad you don't mind the complicated stuff I'm afraid it probably scared off a few good readers too. I almost wanted to drop that stuff, but it was very important, and we're all smarter for reading it I think.
setsunamew - I usually don't write so technically, so I'm glad to hear it wasn't too hard to read. I must admit that I nearly fluncked high-school because of science, and I swore to never have anything to do with it again, but the Idea nagged at me so much I felt obligated to do it, so at least I didn't fail it.
helbaworshipper -I'm glad you like the story. I put more thought into it than the others and I've hopefully grown as a writter, so I wanted this to be a knock-out story, I'm still not sure how I feel about it though.
Well that's my thank yous to everyone who's reviewed the last two chapters. I hope you all like this chapter. like I said it's better than it was going to be so that should cheer you guys up some. I'll update promptly this week guys I promise,I'm saving my story to disk and if the computer crashes I'll borrow my brothers.
Kyou put Tohru's arm around his neck and lifted her easily from her spot. He led her itnto the other room, and placed her gently in her seat. Chuck was there waiting. "Ah, good afternoon, Miss Tohru! And how are you feeling today?" He asked warmly.
"I'm doing well, Nurse Chuck. How are you doing today?"
"Just fine, now that I know my favorite patient is well." He smiled warmly at Tohru then glanced in Kyou's direction. "And who might this fine gentleman be, your boyfriend perhaps?" He extended a hand towards Kyou, who recoiled slightly.
"Kyou." Kyou glanced to the side slightly. 00 I know I promised her but I just don't trust a male nurse. He can forget it if he thinks I'm gonna call him Nurse Chuck. 00
"Well Kyou, you can just call me Chuck." He dropped his hand to his side, giving up on the idea of a friendship, with our slightly obstinate hero.
"Will it be okay if Kyou stays, Nurse Chuck? I'd feel better with a friend to help me." Tohru said sweetly.
"Why sure Tohru. Anything for my favorite patient." Chuck smiled warmly at her. "Besides with someone else here, you'll have someone to help you with this, after today. I want you to promise that you'll do everything I teach you today, you'll do them every day for the next week, and at least every other day for the two weeks after that."
"I promise." Tohru said seriously.
"All right then. I just want to make sure that your healing process is as comfortable as can be. The average person in a car wreck doesn't even leave the hospital for at least a week, especially one as bad as yours, Miss Tohru. You left after a day and a half, so you're bound to experience a lot of pain durring the rest of your recovery. But hopefully the streatches I teach you will dull that pain, and hopefully I can count on young Kyou here to make sure that you take it easy and do your stretches like you're supposed to." He winked at Kyou.
Kyou slumped into the chair 00 Who does this guy think he is? 'Young Kyou' what's that supposed to mean? And of course I'm gonna take care of Tohru, what kind of man can't take care of the woman he loves? 00
Chuck started to show them some basic stretches that would be good for Tohru's targeted areas. Places she was likely to become stiff without stretching. He also showed them a few that they could do together. They stretched for a good half hour before Chuck finally said "Alright, and that's all you need to know I think."
Right on cue Shigure walked in. "Are you guys all finnish now?"
"Yes, we just finished." Tohru smiled a bit tired.
"How much do I owe you, Nurse Chuck?" Shigure asked. (8 Don't ask me how he got through that sentance without laughing 8)
"Tell you what, I hear Miss Tohru here cooks a mean apple pie..."
"I'm sure Tohru would be glad to make you one." Shigure said. 00 All right free medicare, just like with Hatori. 00
"Oh, I don't want her to make me one. When you're feeling better Miss Tohru, I'd like you to teach me how to make your world famous pie." Chuck said.
Tohru blushed. "I don't know if it's world famous, but I'd be glad to teach you, Nurse Chuck, after all you've done for me." (8 This opens the door for me to put Nurse Chuck in an apron hehehe. 8)
00 Great, now we'll have to see this jerk again. 00 Kyou rolled his eyes.
A/N: REVIEW! Boop boop be do. Boop!
