Chapter 16: Hereditary

Princess Sango

Tohru was slightly uncomfortable as she walked over to the elementary school and there stood Yuki and Hatori, waiting as patient as ever. Walking over to them and saying a brief hello as they solemnly walked inside the school. When they got to the principal's office there stood Kazuki as he ran up to his mother and started crying and mumbling into her shirt. "What happened?"

"It seems that your son has a health problem, because he passed out from something we're not sure of," he said lightly.

Yuki looked at Hatori, "Is it possible that he could have what I had Hatori-san?"

"Hai, very possible, so he just passed out, I'll have to check him out. We'll take the kid home right now, sorry for the disturbance," Hatori explained.

"Yes, please do for we can't have any kids to have possible contagious illnesses here. We'll need a doctor's note before he comes back, do you have a family doctor?" he asked curiously.

"I'm the doctor," Hatori said before bowing and left with the other three people.

Tohru gently stroked his hair and tried to calm him down, "It's okay Kazuki-chan, its okay, look it's nothing serious. Your dad has the same thing, I mean it, and he does."

"R-really mommy?" Kazuki asked as he tried to wipe the tears off his face.

"Really, you can ask him too," Tohru answered as she smoothed his hair back and sighed, 'No one knows about the curse yet, that's good…'

Kazuki smiled as Tohru put him down and he ran over to his dad and asked if he had the same problem he had. Yuki had nodded and explained that he never thought he could get it too. Yet another thing Yuki and Kazuki had in common, health problems.

Tohru noticed they weren't heading towards Shigure's house but to the Sohma Estate where Hatori was still staying. When they entered a smiling Momiji was there to greet them, "Hi guys, what brings you here?"

"Just here for a check up for Kazuki-kun, Momiji," Tohru answered him.

"Oh really, when did you decide that?" Momiji asked curiously.

"Just now, we got called over to his school since he had an attack," Hatori told Momiji.

"I see Ha-san; well I was just about to head off. Ja!"

As Momiji walked out of the estate Hatori walked them into an office of some sorts. Hatori had Kazuki sit on the couch as he prepared necessary equipment and he took his stethoscope and walked over to Kazuki who tugged on his mother's shirt and tried to get away. "It's okay Kazuki-chan; Hattori-san is just going to give you a check up real quick, to make sure you're okay. You want to be healthy don't you?" Tohru asked her son and Kazuki nodded but looked a little reluctant as Tohru pulled his shirt off.

Placing the stethoscope to his chest, and he seemed to back away from the cold steel but Hatori continued as he pressed, "Take a deep breath in."

Kazuki did, but with some difficulty and when he tried to exhale he started coughing and still did after the second time and Hatori sighed, "Exactly the same as what Yuki-kun had. He just happens to have it a little higher, as in asthma."

Kazuki looked over at Hatori, "What does that mean?"

"It just means you have a few breathing problems, you'll just need a inhaler to breath into from time to time, it's not too serious kid," Hatori answered as Kazuki threw his shirt back on and hopped off the couch and ran over to his father.

"Can we go out for some ice cream?" Kazuki asked innocently.

"If it's okay with your mother, then yes, but only then," Yuki answered him.

"Can we mom, please?" Kazuki begged Tohru with his eyes and words.

"Hai, you may go, I need to talk to Hatori for awhile anyway, why don't you go on ahead."

Kazuki smiled and grabbed onto Yuki's arm and practically dragged him to the out of the room.
