'Oh mom,what's going to happen? Why is everyone getting sick lately? Isn't there anything I can do to help?' She turned towards the door to see Kyo standing there. All her thoughts went out of her head.
"Kyo?" He headed over to the fridge. "Are you hungry"
"I guess." He answered quietly looking around the room. "So Shigure isn't up yet. Although I guess that shouldn't really surprise me"
"No, not yet. I hope he's up before we leave. I want to see how he's doing before we go." Kyo just shrugged and continued to search through the fridge.
Despite her hopes though, Shigure wasn't at breakfast. Maybe while they were at school, Hatori would stop by to see how he was doing. She followed Kyo out the door.
There was a knock on Hatori's office door. He got up to answer it. Kagura was standing there with a very determined look on her face. He stepped to the side to let her in.
"Did you need something?" He inquired.
"What's going on around here? Why is everyone getting sick?" She demanded. He was surprised she was being so bold with him.
"I still don't know what's going on. So there is no reason to get all worried. It's not like you've gotten sick yet"
"Who said I was worried about that. I don't want Kyo getting sick either." She exclaimed. Hatori let out a low sigh.
"How did you find anything out anyway. We were trying to keep it secret." Although he really thought Shigure might have said something.
"I found out when Haru got sick and then Yuki. Actually the whole main house knows about Yuki." She told him. He arched an eyebrow.
"Well in any case, I have work to do. Like I said we still don't know anything so there's no reason to be concerned." He added.
"If you say so, but there is alot of talk going around." She stated and went to the door. He had really hoped that this whole thing wouldn't cause so much talk. Before he could get too lost in his thoughts, Ryana came in.
"Oh I thought you were going to take your cousin home." She mentioned.
"Yes, I'm going. I also should see how Shigure's doing." He answered standing up. He rubbed his forehead lightly. Maybe he stood up too fast but for some reason his head was hurting. Although he had also been working too much lately. He ignored it and went into Yuki's room.
"Are you ready to head home?" He asked. Yuki nodded immediately.
"I just want things back to normal. Let's go"
"You're still staying home though. I don't want you going to school until we are sure you won't transform"
"So you still don't know why I didn't the other day." Yuki asked back.
"No, I think it was a one time thing. So I wouldn't worry about it." Hatori said as they got to the door.
Shigure woke up about one in the afternoon to the sound of someone knocking on the front door. He stumbled out of his room and wondered to the door.
"Shigure, you didn't answer the phone so I came over." His editor said.
"Oh, I was sleeping. Sorry." He answered still tired. He let out a long yawn.
"WHAT! You've been sleeping when you have a dead line." She grabbed him by the collar and shook him senseless. "Why do you do this to me? Why. If you would only get your work done early then I wouldn't have to be so stressed out all the time. When are you going to start..." Before she could finish her sentence she had pulled too hard on his robe. He lost his balance and before he even knew what was happening he fell forward towards her.
He didn't even have a chance to panic as he landed hard on top of her. She hit her head and let out a small cough. Shigure sat up quickly looking around for a place to hide.
"Ugh...Shigure. That hurt." She muttered from the ground. He glanced down to see he hadn't transformed.
"What but that doesn't make any sense." He stated. His editor sat up rubbing the back of her head.
"What are you talking about?" She asked him.
"Nothing at all. Really I'm fine." He smiled and stood up.
"Then you can help me up and get to work." She growled.
"Sure thing but I'll do it later." He told her and hurried inside, closing the door behind him.
"Shigure! Get back here now!" She yelled but he still ignored her. He got to the kitchen and picked up the phone to call Hatori. He had been lucky considering that he had known his editor for a long time and this was the first time anything like this happened and he didn't transform. There was no answer on the other side of the line and he hung up.
"Where did he go?" He thought out loud. First Yuki and now this. Did they manage to break the curse without knowing it?
