Author's notes- Gomen Nasai! Sorry to everyone who was reading this, cause I moved into my own place and it took forever for the phone company to set up my phone. So I will post two chapters this time since everyone has been so patient. So here's chapter seven, enjoy and review.
The house was surprisingly quiet when Hatori drove up along with Yuki. Maybe it was possible that no one was home yet. The two of them got out of the car and headed to the front door. There was a constant laughing coming from inside. Hatori slid the door open and hurried in. Shigure was in the living room, sitting on the floor, laughing as though he had lost his mind. Yuki followed Hatori in.
"So this is what happens when I leave?" He stated. Shigure eventually gained some composure. He explained to both of them what had just transpired with his editor.
"And that's why your sitting here laughing. It would serve you right if you passed out from exhaustion." Yuki commented and let out a small cough.
"But you have to admit it's pretty funny." Shigure remarked. Yuki still didn't see the humor.
"I'll be in my room." He turned and left the room.
Once he was gone Hatori took a seat across from Shigure, who was still trying not to laugh too much.
"So do you really think this has something to do with breaking the curse?" "What else would it be? Everything has been so off lately. Nothing making any sense"
"That is true, even Akito has been doing better. Completely the opposite." Shigure was surprised to hear about Akito. This was the first Hatori had mentioned it to him. "However I still don't want to assume anything. You and Yuki are the only two that have not transformed when you should have"
"You're always the optimist, Hari." He ignored Shigure's comment. "Well I have some work I've been putting off." And with that he left.
Even though school was suppose to keep her preoccupied from what was going on at home, all Tohru could think of was how soon could she leave. By the day still continued to go by slowly. For some reason she felt sick to her stomach today. She didn't notice anything odd until right before lunch. She didn't even feel like eating. Outside, dark clouds were looming overhead, threatening to make everyone's day bad. Although it didn't seem to be bothering Kyo too much. She glanced over at his desk, where Uo was busting his chops as always. He was arguing back just as much.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if he was a little more quiet today. The weather still wasn't that bad yet though. She continued to space out, thinking of all that had happened lately and wondering if Yuki would be able to come home soon. Before she realized it, lunch was almost over. She felt someone push on the side of her head. She turned to see Kyo standing there with his fist still out in front of her face.
"Hey you still in there?" He asked. She stood up quickly, completely snapping out of it.
"Um, yes. Sorry, I guess I was just thinking too hard"
"You don't have to appolegize, I was just wondering." He glance down at her desk and noticed her un eaten lunch.
"Why aren't you eating?" He brought up in a low tone.
"Oh that, well I just don't feel like it, that's all"
"You're not getting sick too? That sissy rat boy better not have been contagious." He complained.
"No, it's not that, really. I'll be fine. But now that I think about it, are you okay?" Her question caught him off guard. "Well it's just that the weather and all, I'm surprised that you're doing this well." She told him.
"It's not raining yet. And how do you know I'm not pretending to be okay just cause we're at school?" Before she had a chance to answer the bell rang. Kyo turned and headed for his desk. As he moved away, Tohru caught a smell of something that almost made her fall backwards. She had smelt it before and knew exactly what it was.
By the time Hatori got back to his office, he wasn't in the mood to do any work. All he wanted to do was go lay down. His head was splitting and he was tired, more so then normal. As he entered, Ryana looked up and smiled.
"You have someone here to see you." She announced to him. He wanted to tell them to go away. "He said to tell you Akito is here." She added, getting his attention more. He just nodded and walked in. Akito was sitting on his desk with a wide grin on his face.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here today." Hatori mentioned, taking a seat in his chair. he noted that Akito looked much better then he had in a long time. "Well I have been hearing alot of rumors lately and wanted to talk to you."
So many thoughts now flew through her mind as she sat there. Everyone were taking their seats as the teacher started the next class.
Was Kyo going to transform? But he had his beads, she could see them from here. Had he even noticed it? How was this even possible. There was no reason for it. But that smell. It was getting stronger, she knew it was. Maybe that had been what made her stomach bother her so much. Now other students started noticing the stench and Kyo also caught on. He glanced back at her with this scared look in his eyes. There was so much fear, the thought of transforming into his true form right here, was a pretty terrifying thought.
"So that's all that has happened up to this point. I am not sure what it means." Hatori informed Akito. He sat there and thought about all the facts.
"And the cat hasn't had any problems yet?" He asked. Hatori didn't see the point of the question but answered anyway.
"No, nothings changed with him. Why?" "Good, if anything does, I don't want you getting involved." Akito said maliciously.
"I don't understand what you mean." "If he gets sick like the others, I don't want you helping...at all. Do you understand now."
The teacher paused and turned from the chalk board. The class all wondered what the sudden pause was in the lesson. The teacher sniffed the air and mused.
"What is that smell? It's horrible." Everyone was now looking around the room.
"Maybe something died in here, yah know like a bug or something." One student suggested. Kyo slouched down in his chair trying to think of some way out of this. More and more suggestions and comments continued to go around the room. He couldn't take it anymore and stood up abruptly. Tohru couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do.
