Chapter 10I Was Just Worried That He Might…
The sound of coughing awoke Tohru from her sleep. 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.
"YUKI!" she screamed, rushing into his room. Sohma Yuki lay strewn across his bed, his body shuddering with constant coughing. His head was off the bed, and the only thing that was keeping him on were the sheets entangled around his legs. "YUKI!" she yelled once again. His eyes remained closed, un-responding. She threw herself upon the bed, trying to lift his head back on the bed and fix the sheets. "YUKI! Tohru!" a voice sounded from the doorway. Tears stained Tohru's cheeks as she glanced at the sound. It was Shigure's voice, Kyo was right behind him. "Kyo! Call Hatori!" Shigure ordered as he ran into the room. "His inhaler, Tohru!" Shigure yelled at her. It startled her, Shigure yelling at her. She almost burst out in more tears at all the stress. "Hai," she weakly said back, as Shigure took over in comforting Yuki. She fumbled in the drawers for it, and then finally found it.
After he took his inhaler, he calmed down a bit, but still bursting into coughing fits from time to time. Shigure sighed. "Arigatou, Tohru," he grimaced sadly, "and sumimasen. I didn't mean to yell at you, he just hasn't had an attack this bad or serious in many years. I…I was just worried that he might... Sumimasen." Tohru wrapped her arms around the inu's arm, startling him slightly. Tohru let her tears flow on Shigure's arm, "Me too. Sumimasen. Yuki and I shouldn't have gone out; I should have paid more attention to the weather channel… I--" she sobbed. Shigure's brow creased in sadness as his other arm patted Tohru on the back reassuringly (not in a perverted way, LOL). "It's not your fault, precious flower. His condition is just like this. Please don't worry too much," he said softly, looking into her teary eyes. A tear ran down her cheek as she nodded. Shigure smiled slightly, wiping them away with his finger. "All better?" he smiled softy.
"Shigure, please contain your perverted ways. This is not the time," a monotone voice stated urgently. Tohru and Shigure immediately backed away in surprise and embarrassment. "O, ano, Hatori! So nice for you to drop by at this moment…" Shigure sighed playfully as the doctor went to Yuki. Kyo stood at the back of the room, looking on in the situation. "Idiot…" he thought.
"I knew I should have given him something, but he said he was fine…" Hatori sighed as Yuki burst out in another coughing fit. His breaths were ragged and harsh. Tohru and Shigure stood on the opposite side of the bed as Hatori checked on him. After a few minutes, he opened his eyes. "Mmm…Ano? T-Tohru?" he asked weakly. Her eyes and face lit up. "Hai, Yuki, it's me!" she said happily, reaching for his hand. His hand was so cold…
"Her hand is so warm…" Yuki thought. "I may be sick, but people's hands aren't that warm…" "Tohru… Are you ok? Do you feel alright?" he whispered. Her eyes widened, "H-Hai, Yuki. Why do you a--" She never finished. Yuki broke out in another coughing fit, his coughs haggard and hard. "Yuki!" Tohru yelped, squeezing his hand tightly. "Yuki!" Hatori said alarmed. "Shigure, help me." Shigure moved closer to Yuki's bed. "Tohru…" the inu said softly and urgently. She moved understandingly, reluctantly letting go of his hand. Yuki's cry of pain as Hatori gave him a shot made Tohru's heart break. She became dizzy. "Yuki…Yuki! YUKI!"
Flashbacks spread across chocolate eyes. Flashbacks of laughter, smiling, and hugging. Flashbacks of kissing, her hands running through silver locks and other hands running through her own hair. Flashbacks of one certain silver-haired boy named Yuki, who was now lying, coughing harshly, across his bed on the new sheets that they had just put on.
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.
She tried to stand but her knees buckled, "Ah!" She splashed in the muddy rain water. "Tohru!" Yuki exclaimed. He laughed. "This is one mess right after the other, are you ok?" He leaned over her, concern in his purple eyes. Tohru blushed. He was so concerned he was almost on top of her. "Yuki! Your shirt! Your shirt will be ruined in the rain! It isn't even buttoned, you'll catch a cold!" He just smiled at her, shielding her from the rain. She sighed softly. She balanced herself up on her hands and kissed him. They parted after a few seconds. BOOM! "AUGH!" Tohru cried in super-shock mode. Yuki only laughed again. He stood up and offered her his hand. She took it, but wasn't able to stand. "We'll have to call Hatori later," he commented. "But for now…"he stated, a lustful glint in his eye. "Eh!" Tohru asked. He grabbed her back and reached under her knees to hoist her up. "O, Yuki! No, I'm too heavy, I…" He gave her an its-ok look. She smiled, and rested her head against his chest.
"He called me Tohru…" she thought, smiling. Tohru lifted her other hand, and brushed it through his silvery locks, blushing madly the whole time. She too, began to lean in closer, her heart pounding like crazy. Doki, doki, doki! The sound of two beating hearts was heard to the two teens. Yuki, ecstatic that Tohru seemed to feel the same way, blindly rushed the moment and kissed her as he entwined his fingers with hers. With his other hand, he placed it behind her neck, therefore bringing her too close. POOF!
Tohru, tears running down her beautiful face, stumbled towards the wall. Kyo, sensing her distress, led her out of the room. "Iie! Nii-chan, wait!" she squeaked softly. "Oi…I heard that kuso nezumi…are you alright?" he asked worriedly. He felt her forehead and sighed. "You got so worked up about this that it seems you have a cold, or a fever… I'll go get the thermometer. It would be best for you to go to your room and--" "Iie! Kyo, I'll be fine… I…I just would like to stay here…" she beckoned to Yuki's closed bedroom door. Kyo resigned the subject. "Fine, I'll be right back." After seeing him leave, Tohru sighed. She slid her back down the wall, holding her knees and burying her face in them. "I hope he's ok…" she sobbed. Her silent sobbing floated her off to peaceful slumber.
