Hello! This is my first fanfiction post, and so i know a little bit about it. laughs Anyway, this is my second chapter of this story, and Im happy Its turning out great, a lot of short chapters, but oh well. So, yes, as we all know goes sarcastic I own Fruits Basket and allit's charactors, so I can freely pet, grope, glomp, amd make Hatori mybitch ifI want to. No, I'm kidding. I don't own them, or anything about FB besides this story. But I'll make him my bitch if I want to anyway. HAHA! Enjoy the second chapter!
Hatori slid the thin rice-paper open, stopping at the suspicious quiet in the obnoxious Shigure's house. He took one step in and was attacked.
"Oh Hatori, it's horrible! Kyo's fallen ill, and poor Tohru has done all she can to take care of him. Can you save this weak cat's life?" Shigure followed him up the stairs, babbling about nothing at all.
"Shut up, you idiot." He calmly stated, aggravated, as he entered Kyo's room.
"Kyo's going to die? Oh no! Oh no, oh no this is horrible! Tohruuu, Kyo's going to die!" A small blonde haired boy suddenly popped into the picture, panicking over the fake situation. Momiji Sohma had followed Hatori to Shigure's house, being in the care of Hatori for the day. Hatori took care of the small boy often. Some of the others simply shrugged it off, thinking it was just another job for him to take care of. The all thought Hatori as a simple hard working man. Tohru on the other hand thought of his care as a way of expressing his sorrow for having to erase the boy's young mother's memories of her only son. He knew it hurt Momiji, so he was doing all he could to willingly repent.
"Momij, be quiet and keep Tohru company. Shigure, keep quiet before you cause any more ruckus about this house." Hatori said, emotionless.
Shigure pouted and Momiji bounced off in his little rabbit like ways to giggle and laugh with the one who healed his painful heart.
Kyo had changed back, Tohru by his side. He didn't look all to pleased.
"Oh so when Tohru's sick everyone comes and visits her, 'what's wrong Tohru, are you feeling ok Tohru' but when I'm sick, the only person who comes is -this- damn bastard and that annoying brat!"
"Kyo, calm down, you might hurt yourself if you over do anything" Tohru pleaded.
"Yeah Kyo, you don't want to get any more sick than you already are. Listen to Tohru!" Momiji said, annoying Kyo even more.
Hatori sat next to him, pulling out his supplies. "Yes, it would do you good to be quiet and rest. Here, drink this." He handed him some medication, basically the same kind Tohru gave him, but he gagged this time. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" He yelled.
Tohru looked at the label of the bottle. It's the same kind. But when I gave it to him, he didn't even make an expression of disgust. I wonder why?
Hatori gave him a glass of milk. "Here, I brought you over some milk. Tohru said you were out, so I bought some on the way here." he glanced at Tohru. "No charge. Kyo, I suggest you stop being so stubborn, quiet down and get some rest. Now one more thing, sit still and stop being such pain." He pulled out a needle with fluids in it.
"Oooh no, you aren't giving me any shots or anything, I don't like needles!" He backed up against his headboard on his bed, trying to escape the terror off a shot.
"Kyo," Tohru took his hand, deliberately extending his arm a little, smiling "it's ok, it won't hurt all that much."
He looked at her face, her smile, blushing to the fact that she took his hand. Before he knew it, Hatori was putting a bandage on Kyo's arm and standing up, putting his black coat back on. "Now stay in bed until Tohru says you can get up and move about. Call me if you need anything else." With that, he left.
Kyo looked down at his arm when Hatori left, confused at what just happened.
Momiji laughed "Kyo's got the hots for Tohru!" It sent kyo into a rage, his face strawberry red. "SHUT UP, WHO ASKED YOU?" He looked up at Shigure's giggling. "Oh Kyo, you're so susceptible to Tohru. You didn't even notice he gave you the shot!"
"Ugh, shut up! At least I don't cry and whine like you do!" Kyo rested back down on the headboard, crossing his arms. Tohru smiled at there small argument. She looked at his clock.
"Oh, well when 3 o'clock comes around, maybe someone would like to come to the store with me?" Tohru said, as she thought for a moment. Yuki slid the door of the cat's room open to join the others. He spoke before anyone else could.
"I would love to, Miss Honda." He smiled. He avoided Kyo, not caring about his health.
Tohru smiled. "Alright!"
A shout to Momiji was heard from downstairs, as Hatori was sick of waiting for the rabbit. "Oh Tohru, will you come with me? Please will you, oh please?" Momiji pleaded.
Tohru laughed "Well I can come downstairs with you, but I need to stay home and get some work done today."
"Okaaay!" Momiji giggled and grabbed Tohru's arm, pulling her out the door before Kyo had a chance to object, hard as he may try. Yuki fallowed them down the stairs, leaving Shigure and Kyo alone in the room.
"You know… Akito has noticed." Shigure switched out of his flirty usual self to a serious attitude worth catching Kyo's attention. He was stubborn to pretend he didn't know what Shigure was talking about.
"What's that supposed to mean?" he questioned Shigure's knowledge.
"It means you must cooperate if you want her safety. Or, more or less, her company." He was solemn, knowing that many things could come upon their friendly relationship. "You know you could ask for help, but I highly doubt it's in your nature to. So I almost won't suggest it. But I do, so you might as well use it. My advice… is go with what you think will hurt less." He turned to go, opening the door, and saying his last words before he took his leave. "And I don't exactly mean physically." With that, he left, leaving Kyo to ponder his decision of love or life.
