Chapter 2: Woken Up in a Hospital

When Kyo woke up the next morning, he found Tohru's face right there.

"Wah!" he yelled as he jumped.

"Finally, you're up!" Tohru exclaimed, relief written all over her face. Just as she said that, a nurse walked into the room. She had ivy vines woven into her hair.

"Hi! You must be Tohru Honda. Kyo will be free to go in a minute. I just have to do a check up on his condition. Could you leave for a second?"

Tohru left the room, a little worried about the curse, but quite sure Kyo could handle himself.

"Who are you?" asked Kyo.

"Ivy," replied the nurse. "At least, that's the name I use now. I hate my real name. It's too french and is also the name of a dance step. Love to dance though."

"What's your real name?" asked Kyo. This nurse didn't actually seem to be doing anything. Just talking.

"Pasdechat. It means 'step of the cat' apparently. I'm only partially fond of cats. I really like birds better. But I hate Flutter. It's always birds this and birds that. Man it drives me crazy. What are you looking at?" she snapped the last sentence.

"Pasdechat? As in one of the six crazy people suppodedly looking after my 'well-being'?" Kyo questioned her.

"Just so you know, I'm on your side. I think that if you don't want our help we shouldn't help."

"Well that's good."

"But the others are trying to 'help' anyway."

"Tell them if they want to help anyone, it should be Kagura."

"Kagura? The crazy one that's in love with you? But wouldn't that put you on the line?"

"No. She needs mental help."

"Oh. Well, I can check, but we may be forced to stay with you cause out of the two choices, you're probably the more miserable case." Then they heard a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Ivy asked politely.

"Pasdechat, it's me, Lilac."

"Hang on a sec!" then she whispered to Kyo, "Not a single word about this conversation, do you hear me?" Kyo simply nodded his head.

Then Ivy flung out her hand, palm facing the door. A flood of light green light flowed from her hand and pulled open the door. Lilac came in the room, dragging a confused Tohru behind her.

"Hey, this girl wants to know when he can be brought home," Lilac told Ivy.

"Um, in two minutes, okay?" Lilac nodded and went with the girl to the waiting room. Lilac pulled the door shut with a burst of violet light.

"She is the only person in the world who will ever get away with calling me that!" Kyo heard Ivy hiss under her breath.

"Why am I in the hospital, anyway?" asked Kyo.

"Oh, that was Lilac's fault. For some reason she decided to send you home the long way. So you got stuck in a coma for a week. It was the next morning that Tohru decided to check up on you, found you asleep on the roof, and tried to wake you up. You wouldn't wake up so she got worried and called Hatori who brought you to the hospital. I was allowed to work in hospital staff when I said that I was your cousin on your mom's side and already knew about the curse."

"Oh."

"So! How about some healing tea and then a trip home?" Ivy said, a spool of light green magic swirling in her hand like a tray before a small cup of tea appeared. She handed him the cup, and he obediently drank it. Then Ivy helped him get off the bed and sent him with his clothes into the bathroom. A minute later, Kyo came out of the bathroom to find that Tohru was once again back, apparently of her own accord this time, and not some nosy fairy.

"Now, if you want to talk about getting back at the other five, you can call me up any time!" She handed Kyo a card that said:

Ivy Fairy of the Enchanted Garden 555-2222 2 Sleeping Lane Faerie, Gluttenburg

"Thanks," muttered Kyo. Then he and Tohru walked out of the room.

"What other five?" Tohru asked him.

"Oh, it's nothing." Tohru gave Kyo a skeptical look, which she almost never did.

Meanwhile, Ivy was following Kyo's orders to help Kagura. She had soon discovered that Kyo just thought Kagura had mental problems. Since they already had a strand of Kyo's hair to start the quilt, and they had a strand of Tohru's, Ivy snuck a strand of Kagura's hair, whispering to her that everything would soon be alright. She then went the the house where the were working on the quilt, which was a sixth house on the street, and replaced Tohru's hair with Kagura's. No one noticed a thing.
