"Anyone in there?" She asked her. She smiled and let out a small laugh.
"Oh sorry, guess I'm just thinking too much lately." She stated, scratching her head.
"Well apparently you're not the only one thinking." She observed glancing over at Kyo. He was still sitting at his desk, staring out the window with his arms crossed over his chest. "But then again it's a first time thing for him." She added, walking over and hitting him over the head with her lunch box. He stood up immediately and got in her face.
"What was that for?" He demanded, clenching his fists at his sides.
"Just making sure you don't blow a fuse or something up there." She poked him in the forehead, causing him to back up. He just turned away and stormed out. Tohru and Hana walked over to Uo who was still standing there in shock.
"Mmm, he didn't bother arguing much with you now did he?" Hana pointed out. "Yeah, that was weird for him." Uo agreed.
"And I noticed the Prince isn't here either." Hana added. Tohru was hoping they wouldn't noticed that. She turned trying to think of what to say.
"Oh well...um...Yuki isn't feeling very well. So he decided to stay home today." She admitted.
"That has to have broken his record or something. I don't remember the last time he missed a day." Uo stated. Tohru was afraid she would notice the fact that Yuki had a pretty Impeccable record. What would they think if he didn't show up for a couple of days. She was really getting worried about him. All she wanted was to get home and for Shigure to give her some good news.
"Oh well, guess he's just not as perfect as everyone around here thinks he is. Let's eat." Uo mentioned getting a nod from Hana.
"Okay." Tohru's worried thoughts went to the back of her mind for the time being.
The rest of the day seemed to drag on but finally the last bell rang for the day and everyone was dismissed. Kyo and she started to walk out when she noticed Haru and Momiji. Even though they all went to the same school, she really never got to see them.
"Hey, Tohru!" Momiji greeted her cheerfully. She couldn't help but smile back.
"So Hatori told us about Yuki, have you heard anything yet today?" Haru asked her. She shook her head.
"No, Shigure was going with them today, but we don't know anything yet." Kyo didn't seem to care about the conversation so he distanced himself from them until they were finished.
"Well we could always go over to Hatori's office and see how he's doing." Haru suggested.
"Would you mind taking me?" Tohru asked him.
"No, it's okay. I don't mind. Although I doubt Kyo or Momiji would want to come though"
Tohru turned back to Kyo who seemed completely indifferent to the situation.
"Yeah, I really want to go see how things are." She told him. "Kyo, you can head home, I'm going with Haru." Kyo just shrugged and headed down the road. Tohru followed Hatsuharu and Momiji.
Kyo got home and took his shoes off. Shigure poked his head out to see him coming his way.
"Where's Tohru?" He asked.
"She went with Haru to go see that sissy rat. I'm not sure when she'll be home"
"Oh that's sad, guess this house will have to go a couple more hours without our sweet Tohru." Shigure claimed in his usual ridiculous tone.
"Would it kill you to keep your senseless talk to yourself?" Kyo growled back.
"Mmm, maybe it would. Why does it bother you?"
"What do you think." With that he disappeared back into the hallway.
When Tohru and Haru got to Hatori's office, he was nowhere to be found. They decided to sit down and wait for him. After a couple of minutes, he came out of one of the rooms.
"Oh, I didn't know you were here. Were you waiting long?" He inquired, placing some papers on his desk.
"Not really, is Yuki doing any better?" Haru brought up. Hatori let out a short sigh which caused Tohru to become even more concerned.
"He's better but not much of an improvement. However I think he can go home tomorrow. As long as he agrees to stay in bed and not do much. And Kyo isn't allowed to bother him either." He explained more to Tohru since she would be the one there, keeping the peace.
"Is okay if we see him?" Tohru asked. Hatori nodded and led the way.
"But not for long. I want him to get some rest." He added as they walked into the room. Yuki looked over from the bed.
"You have some company." Hatori announced as Tohru came into view.
"Miss Honda?" Yuki sat up quickly, surprised to see her there. Haru just shook his head at his response. Hatori shut the door and went back to his work.
"So how are you feeling?" She asked pulling a chair over and sitting down.
"Better. So how was school"
"It was okay, a couple of people asked where you were"
"Oh well, should have known some people would notice." He sighed and leaned back on the pillow. "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble"
"No, it's not your fault. You can't help it if you're not feeling well." She had noticed how pale he was, more so then normal. And even though Hatori said he was doing better, she had a hard time telling.
"You'd be better off missing a couple days of school. It's better then accidentally transforming." Haru mentioned. Yuki nodded slowly unsure of what to say to that. It was still unclear as to why he hadn't transformed earlier. He had had several hours in this room to himself. He couldn't help but think about it.
They all heard the door on the other room open. After a couple of minutes, Hatori entered.
"I hate to make this visit so short but we need to get going. I can drive you home, Tohru." He told them. His nurse was out in the hallway. She looked like she had been crying and was still holding back tears. Hatori told her to stay with Yuki as they went to the door. She nodded and went over to the bedside.
"So what's going on?" Yuki asked her. She wasn't very good at keeping secrets. That much he had learned from being around her.
"Your new cousin, the newest member of the family, just died suddenly. I don't understand what happened. He was doing so well up till now. It was so sad and his mother seemed to be afraid to hold him." She started tearing up again.
