Chapter 9The Doctor Is In

"KUSO NEZUMI!" "BAKA NEKO!" Tohru awoke to the sounds of people yelling at each other. She sighed. "Not again…" Slowly, she rubbed her eyes and yawned. All the sudden, Tohru gasped. She looked at her surroundings. "Yuki's bedroom…?" The first thought that came to her mind made her blush furiously. "THAT CAN'T BE IT, TOHRU!" She shivered. "Oh!" Now she remembered. Yuki was carrying her home; he must have brought her in here. She was kind of cold… Tohru threw the blanket off her. She was wearing the dress she wore earlier, and it was damp from being wet. "Oh no!" Tohru cried, as she tried to slide off the bed. "Oof!" she yelped as she fell. She ended up kneeling by the bedside. "Iie! Yuki's bed sheets are all dirty!" Tohru attempted to rub the dirt off the sheets. "They're all muddy, and wet!" She leaned on the bed to stand, but then winced when she put pressure on her right foot. "Heh…I guess I'll have to limp then!" Tohru sighed half-heartedly as she sweat-dropped.

"BAKA!" "I'M NOT A BAKA! LEAVE ME ALONE KUSO NEKO!" "TOHRU'S HURT BECAUSE OF YOU, KUSO RAT!" "IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!" "Stop…" Both Kyo and Yuki turned around to see Tohru on the stairs. "Please, stop fighting…" Tohru cried softly, attempting to rush down the stairs, but tripped. "TOHRU!" both men yelled. POOF! POOF! "Augh…" Tohru sighed, clutching her head. "EH? Sumimasen, Yuki! Kyo! I'm always doing this!" "It's ok Tohru…" Yuki stated. Kyo sat in silence. She reached over and picked them both up, cuddling them. "I love you both… So please, don't fight. Kyo, it wasn't Yuki's fault, he tried to save me from falling. I'm just a klutzy girl, that's all." Both animals were flushing, from being so close to Tohru's body. Yuki nuzzled to Tohru's body, but coughed as he touched her cold skin. "Tohru…you're body is freezing…" Kyo gasped slightly. "Ano?" Tohru asked. POOF! POOF! "AAUUGH!" she shrieked, twirling around.

"Done," two voices said. Tohru turned back around. "Ano…what time is it?" "Seven-thirty," Kyo replied. Tohru went into super-shock mode. "SUMIMASEN! DINNER! I--" "Ah! Do I hear my lovely flower! Is she awake?" The door opened, revealing a grinning Shigure and a worried-looking Hatori. "Shigure? HATORI?" Tohru yelped on the floor. "Well, Tohru-kun, since you did sprain your ankle, I thought I'd drop by and check on you. Yuki? Are you feeling ok?" Tohru looked at Yuki. "Is he sick? Is he ok? Ugh, it's probably all my fault!" she cried in her mind. Yuki nodded at Hatori, then, when seeing Tohru's worried face, gave her a reassuring smile. She relaxed immediately. Hatori offered Tohru his hand and she took it, balancing on Hatori's strong arm to stand. "Tohru-kun, please sit here," Hatori instructed. "Hai." She sat, and he began to examine her ankle. Shigure ended up bringing food with him, so he took Yuki and Kyo into the kitchen to help him warm up the food.

"Tell me when it hurts," Hatori said as he applied slight pressure on different parts of Tohru's ankle. "Ow!" she squeaked when he hit the bruised part. Hatori smiled slightly, "I guess that hurt." Tohru smiled and nodded. After he bandaged her ankle, he helped her stand. Her lips parted as if she was about to say something but Hatori laid a finger on her lips to stop her. "I know what you're going to say and don't. You don't need to pay me, you know I'd come anyway if you were hurt. Well…that is…you know," he implied, flustered, while he… While he blushed? Well, this was rare. "Hatori is blushing…" Tohru thought, making her smile. "Besides I had to check on Yuki," he said, quickly regaining his composure. "O, Hari! What are you doing with our innocent little flower?" Shigure sang as he busted through the kitchen door, holding a steaming plate of rice. He was followed by Kyo and Yuki, also holding food. Hatori blushed for mere seconds, then his features tensed and angered out of annoyance. "Baka…" he stated as he escorted Tohru to the dinner table.

After dinner, which Shigure added was much lower in skill and taste compared to Tohru's 'fine home-cooking', Hatori checked on Yuki. "I'm fine," Yuki sighed. "You were out in the soaking rain, I'm just checking up on you," Hatori said calmly. Yuki stifled a cough as Tohru came bounding in, carrying a tea tray. "Here," she smiled as she handed Yuki and Hatori a cup. "Arigatou, Tohru," Hatori spoke, taking a break from his check-ups. "Arigatou… Tohru, where is everyone?" Yuki asked. It was oddly quiet in the house, and since he was in his room, he wasn't able to tell where everyone was. "O, ano, Kyo went for a walk outside after he helped me regain my balance walking, and Shigure is watching TV in the living room." "Arigatou, Tohru," Yuki smiled. She nodded happily then remembered, "O! Yuki, I'm sorry for messing up your covers, so I have some clean ones here for you!" She walked out the door for a second and then came back, presenting clean sheets. "Well, on this note, I'll leave. Yuki, be careful and Tohru, I'm glad you can walk again," Hatori smiled slightly. "Hai, Kyo helped me, so I'm ok now!" Tohru bubbled. Hatori nodded, then Tohru guided him to the front door and watched him drive away.

Yuki had been getting the sheets off his bed when Tohru came back in. "Yuki? May I help you?" "Ano? If you want to…" "Ok!" she smiled, grabbing the clean sheets. "Let's flip the mattress," Tohru offered. Yuki nodded, so they pulled it up and shifted it on its side. When they had it where they wanted, Yuki was about to let go so it would fall in place when Tohru stated, "Oi, Yuki! Here's the booklet you were looking for a few days ago!" Tohru bent her head down by the springs and reached her arm down. It was open. Yuki blushed, "Wait, Tohru!" He let go of the mattress so he could stop her. It was too late when he remembered her head was in the way…

THOINK! "Anoooo…" Tohru mumbled under the mattress. "Tohru! cough Sumimasen! Hahaha! Are you ok?" She laughed under the mattress, then pushed it up. Yuki had been lifting it at the same time, so it toppled off the bed and on to Tohru. Yuki dove under the mattress. "I will save you my Princess!" Yuki acted dramatically. Tohru busted out laughing. A moaning could be heard under the mattress as their lips touched. Yuki's fingers ran though her hair while his other hand was placed firmly on her waist. Tohru had grabbed a pillow and shoved it in between their bodies, allowing Tohru to wrap her arms around Yuki without him transforming. They broke for a breath of air, but then their lips were back in action. Yuki had eased Tohru to the ground, kissing her. When her body hit the floor though, she flinched. Yuki immediately stopped. "Tohru?" She rolled away from him and at first, he was taken aback and distressed. He hadn't wanted her to get the wrong idea… "Did I hurt you, Tohru? Was I going too fast? Sumimasen, sumimasen, Tohru! I--" His thoughts were interrupted by Tohru's giggling. "This stopped us!" she laughed. She was holding the booklet she had fetched from under the springs earlier.

"Ano, here, Yuki!" He gasped, then snatched it from her apologizing for his haste. "Ano, it's my journal. I write stories and poems and my thoughts. You know, random things…" Yuki blushed. Tohru only smiled at him. "I have one too! Mine is pink though, not blue." He looked up at her and returned her smile, glad she hadn't pushed the subject. They continued to fix Yuki's bed. Soon they were finished.

"Well, Tohru, now that we're done, you can go to sleep if you want. I think I will so if you'll excuse me…" He kissed her on the lips. "Ok…" Tohru sighed happily. "Goodnight Tohru!" "Goodnight, Yuki!" She headed down to her room, when she spotted Kyo coming up the stairs. "Kyo! How was your walk! O, by the way, arigatou. You helped me and now I can walk fine, arigatou for practicing with me." He smiled at her. "No prob." He began to walk off again. "Good-night nii-san," She chanced those words. He stopped. His heart stopped, skipped a beat. "Ano?" Tohru whispered as Kyo walked swiftly and quickly towards her. He embraced her in a hug and kissed her right near her mouth, but not on it. He was her nii-san after all, her luscious lips were only reserved for…

"KUSO YUKI! WHY AM I SO UPSET TODAY! I HATE IT, DAMMIT!" he cried out to his mind, his heart. He grasped Tohru tighter, not wanting to let go of her. A tear ran down his cheek and onto Tohru's. POOF! A cat clung to her neck. Tohru was taken aback by this, but hugged him anyway. "I-I don't understand Kyo…is this all to do with Yuki? I-I-I really am a stupid girl Kyo, is this why you don't hang around with me as much?" She released the hug to wipe away a tear. "Is this why you have closed the lid of memories that you and I strived to open! Why I am not near you…" Tohru sobbed. She petted Kyo on the back.

"Tohru…" he whispered weakly. POOF! He continued to hug her, no matter how hard Tohru blushed. "ANO, KYO!" she yelped, her hand touching his back. POOF! "Please…let's keep that bond we had…Kyo…please don't leave, I feel so disconnected to you…," Tohru sobbed to the cat on her lap. "I-I…Sumimasen, Tohru. I haven't gotten over the fact that…you and the nezumi…" he paused. "I understand," she whispered reassuringly as she took Kyo to his room. She kissed the cat on the forehead as she opened the door to his room. "…and Tohru? You can still call me nii-san…if you want…" She smiled. "Hai…" Then she walked to her room, changed, got under the covers, and drifted off to sleep.

The sound of coughing awoke her from slumber. It was still dark out, she estimated it was around two in the morning. She groggily opened her door and walked to the door where the coughing was coming from. She opened the door and gasped, her eyes widening.

Oooo! Cliff-hanger? LOL. OWW! My head hurts so bad, I have major writers block so I dunno when the next chapter will be up. It'll definitely be up by Wednesday though. O, and by the way, I think Hana and Arisa tied for Kyo's someone. So who do you think Kyo should have? Arisa or Hana? Please answer even if you've already answered, lol. Sorry. Thank you!
