Chapter 13
"So the other guy is Shigure," said Momiji quietly.
"I guess so," said Tohru just as quietly.
"I can't believe she ditched me for a pervert like him!" Momiji yelled without noticing what he was doing.
"Don't yell, they'll hear us," whispered Tohru.
It was too late though. Hana and Shigure stopped kissing and looked over to the window. Hana saw Momiji glaring at her, and her eyes got huge.
"M-M-Momiji? What are you doing?" asked Hana.
"I should be asking you the same question," said Momiji rudely.
"Wait, wait," said Hana her whole attitude changing. "What are you doing watching us through the window! Are you getting turned on by the scene in front of you!"
Momiji's eyes got huge, and he walked off.
"Wonder where he's going?" said Shigure.
Then his question was answered as Momiji rushed into the room, rounding on Hana. Hana tried her wave thing, but, for some reason, she couldn't do it.
"Why aren't my waves working?" she thought just as Momiji punched her in the side of the head.
"MOMIJI!" yelled Tohru as she walked into the room. "What the hell is your problem!"
Momiji just stared at Hana laying on the ground with a broken nose bleeding all over the place. All of the sudden, Momiji kicked her as hard as he could in the ribs and ran out of the room with tears in his eyes.
Hana was gasping for breath as Shigure tried to pick her up off the ground so he could take her to Hatori's. Hana screamed out in pain as Shigure started to lift her.
"I think her ribs are broken," said Shigure as he sat her down again.
"What? Broken?" asked a startled Tohru.
"I can't pick her up, so I think we'll have to call Hatori and see if he can come over," said Shigure getting the phone.
Hana suddenly muttered something indistinctly.
"What?" asked Shigure leaning closer to her.
"It's all my fault," she said a little louder.
"What? It's not your fault. It's mine. I should have never made you leave Momiji just so I would have a chance," said Shigure forgetting Tohru was in the room.
"What? You made her break up with him?" Tohru asked. "You insignificant, downright rude, little, perverted freak!"
She rounded up on Shigure.
"Don't hurt him," said Hana.
"What?" said Tohru.
"Don't hurt him," she repeated.
Tohru looked at her like she couldn't believe what she was saying. She just rolled her eyes and sat on the couch.
Hana started to cry and tried to sit up but screamed out in pain if she tried to move.
"Just stay still, and I'll call Hatori," said Shigure starting to dial Hatori's number.
Hana started to cry harder and reached for Shigure's arm weakly. She grabbed it and pulled him to her. She held him in her arms so tightly that Shigure closed his eyes in pain but didn't complain. All of the sudden, without warning, 'POOF', and Shigure was a dog.
"Why'd I change? I thought you had that bracelet?" asked Shigure still held tightly in her arms.
"It broke when I hit the wall when Momiji punched me," she replied.
"Oh," he said. "I guess I'll have to get you a new one then."
Hana let him go and a few minutes later Shigure changed back into a human standing naked in the middle of the room. Tohru screamed, but Hana just gasped and closed her eyes.
"Sorry," Shigure muttered after he got dressed.
"No problem. It's not like we've never seen that before," said Tohru.
"True," said Shigure. "Well, anyway, I still have to call Hatori so he can come check on you."
"Ok," said Hana quietly.
Shigure gave her a forgiving look then dialed Hatori's number.
"Hello?" said Hatori.
"Ha'ri, I need you to come to my house. I think Hana has one or two broken ribs, and her nose is bleeding all over the place," said Shigure.
"How'd that happen?" Hatori asked.
"I'll tell you when you get here. Bye Ha'ri," said Shigure hanging up.
"Bye," said Hatori hanging up as well.
Shigure sat the phone down and looked at Hana. He got a sad look and kissed her forehead. He kept his lips on her forehead for a minute before he pulled away.
Tohru looked at him and said, "She's really changed you Shigure-San."
"What do you mean?" he asked looking at her strangely.
"I mean, you aren't like you used to be. Like before she moved in, you were all like really perverted, and I was kind of scared of you, but now you're like really nice and loving. I can tell you wouldn't let yourself or anyone else harm her in anyway," said Tohru.
"Yeah, I guess so," said Shigure looking down at Hana smiling.
Hana smiled at him the best she could. She looked partly happy until she broke down in tears unexpectedly. Shigure got a worried look on his face and bent down to be closer to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Hana looked up at him with her tearstained eyes and smiled weakly trying to hide her tears but said nothing.
"What's wrong?" he repeated.
Hana couldn't hide it anymore, and she said, "I don't want to be a bother any longer. As soon as I'm better, I'm leaving to where no one can find me," said Hana tears streaming down her cheeks.
"You can't do that," said Shigure.
"Why?" asked Hana.
"Because I would… umm… well…" Shigure stopped and looked at the ground blushing.
"You would what?" asked Hana.
"I would cry and never get over it probably never coming out of my office except to eat, use the restroom, and take a shower," said Shigure.
Hana started crying again and held Shigure's arm because she didn't want him to poof again. Shigure leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. He then laid his cheek against hers wishing he could just hold her even if it was just for a minute.
"Awwww," said Tohru unexpectedly.
"What?" asked Shigure turning to face her.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it. Ya'll make such a cute couple," said Tohru.
"Thanks," said Shigure smiling at Hana.
'KNOCK KNOCK'
"I'll get it," said Tohru going out of the office to answer the door.
"Hello," came Hatori's voice from the living room.
They walked in, and Shigure told him the whole story.
"Well, her ribs aren't broken, but she has a bruised bone, so she'll need to rest for about three to four days," said Hatori after he checked her.
"Ok, good," said Shigure.
"Shigure, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?" Hatori asked.
Shigure placed Hana on the couch and walked into the kitchen with him.
"What is it?" he asked.
"How are things between you and her working out? Are ya'll together, or were ya'll just kissing for the heck of it?" Hatori asked.
"We're together, and we couldn't be happier," said Shigure smiling.
"Ok good," he said smiling back.
"Tohru told me that she thinks that Hana changed me into a different person. Like my personality changed," said Shigure in a questioning tone.
"I think she's right. I've never seen you worry about a girl this much, not since that one girl in middle school who ditched you after she found out about the curse," said Hatori.
"Yeah," he said.
"Well, I have to go or Akito won't remember to take his evening pills," said Hatori walking out of the house.
Shigure walked into the office and saw a very adorable sight, like two little kids late in the evening. Hana was asleep on her side, and Tohru was asleep leaning on Hana's thigh. Shigure smiled and shook his head. He woke Tohru up and told her to move up to her room. Very unsteadily but eventually making it Tohru walked upstairs and joined Kyo in the bed.
Shigure got a blanket and covered Hana up with it and adding a kiss on the cheek.
"Sleep tight my precious flower," said Shigure as he walked through the door that leads to his bedroom.
