Chapter 4

Delusional

Hiya again! I don't own Fruits Basket. For my reviewers, I'll probably end up replying to reviews when I remember to. I would now but I'm kinda tired and again, I don't feel well. Anyway, Here's chapter 4, Delusional.

What you should expect from this chapter: Kagura, Kyo freaking out, And peanuts! ok.. chapter.

The sun was setting and the room was quiet. Kyo stared out the window longingly. Not to go outside, but to go home. Even if it meant being around Yuki. He wanted to be in that familiar place, sitting on the familiar roof, talking to her cheerful smile. He didn't like it here. Where all day long you stared at the ceiling or watched your breath fog the oxygen mask. Where the outdoors called to you because when you can smell something besides your own breath it's the disgusting smell of clean that doctors always work in.

But he'd promised. He promised he'd stay here and deal with it. He'd promised he would. He'd promised her.

Of course now she'd probably avoid him. After the incident this afternoon.

"Staring out the window again, Kyo?" Hatori's voice sounded. "Looking at it won't make it anymore than a window. You know that right."

"It's a window." was Kyo's lazy response. Hatori nodded.

"I'm closing up for the night. I'll be in tomorrow to give you your medicine and make sure you're progressing positively. Until then, good night." Hatori was so professional sometimes.

When the door closed behind Hatori, Kyo's gaze drifted to the ceiling. Then to the heart rated monitor. What if he could make that little line... stay straight? That would be cool right? No!

Kyo mentally hit himself and sat up slightly. He put his head in his hands and sighed. "Now common, Kyo. That thought will never, NEVER, cross your mind again." he spoke to himself.

"What thought?" A voice asked. Kyo looked up. He couldn't believe it. Tohru?

"Tohru?" He asked disbelievingly. It was so late, Hatori was gone, she was smiling!

"You else would I be?" she asked and giggled. She sat in the chair beside him. Never letting the smile fade. They sat in silence for a little while. Actually, Kyo didn't know how much time had past until he opened his eyes and the sun was just starting to peek over the horizon. Of corse the many trees and fence kept out the sun for now, but he could see the orange sky.

Tohru was still sitting there, smiling. Like she hadn't even slept. She was so beautiful. So cute. So... Whoa whoa! Back up! Kyo shook his head. Not the time!

When he looked up to see her, she pressed her lips against his and he stared, dumbfounded ahead at her closed eyes. It was a nice feeling after the loneliness. He'd admit that. But as the sun crept into the room, lighting it up, Tohru changed. She turned into Kagura as Kyo pulled away. He backed away as far as he could.

"Kyo? What's wrong? You hate me don't you?" Kagura cried. Her eyes flared like they always did before she hurt him. But she too changed, as the sun shined brighter and brighter. Kyo's heart was beating so fast. His body felt weaker but he didn't show it. The form before him now was that of Ayame Sohma.

"What the hell!" Kyo yelled.

"Kyo. That was nice. Kiss me again?" he batted his eyelashes.

"Hell no! Leave me alone!" Kyo threw a spoon on the side table at the freak before him. It was leftover from dinner. As it hit Aya, the form disappeared and the spoon went through it. Kyo took several deep breaths. The thing had been trying to kiss him!

"Now listen. Is that anyway to treat your relatives? Really. No wonder your mother died." Shigure Sohma stood in the corner by the window. Yuki was in the other corner.

"Really stupid cat. How do you ever expect to have anyone like you?" He growled. Kyo threw the knife at Yuki and the fork at Shigure. Both vanished like Ayame.

"What the hell is going on?" Kyo panted. He didn't know how fast his heart could safely beat in his condition and he really didn't want to know.

"Kyo...." Kagura's taunting voice. "Ky-oooo." It was like an echo not a voice. "Kyo. What's the matter?" She asked, her voice solid again. She was sitting at the foot of his bed. No.. On the foot of his bed. He sat up against the wall at the other end, on top of his pillows. The beeping what was it?

Beep Beep Beep Beep. So fast.. It was.. Kyo's eyes darted to the monitor. His heart? Of course god dammit his heart was fast! Kagura was at the foot of his bed! She might not be real but good hell, she seemed to be!

"Kyo..." she started crawling up toward him, with big sad eyes. Hell if she cries I'll.. I'll. I'll...

Kyo held his last defense in his hand. Throwing things at the others made them go away. Maybe she'd go away too. Ya! He held in his hand the tray that held his dinner, well.. Before he'd eaten it of course. But before he could throw it, the door opened and Kagura vanished too. Hatori walked in. Of course Kyo thought he was still seeing things and threw his plate at the doctor.

"Kyo... what?" Kyo was looking around quickly and Hatori noticed the heart rate monitor was beep quite fast. As Kyo continued to throw little peanuts and crap at things only he could see, Hatori went over to a closet. Kyo had obviously taken the fact that Hatori was real enough, or maybe not real but at least he wasn't attacking him.

When Hatori walked over with a tranquilizer shot in his hand, he had to somewhat keep it from view. Kyo was already freaked out. He wasn't even sure Kyo was still seeing things, he was probably just on end for his own sake.

When he finally reached Kyo, he lightly grabbed Kyo's arm, causing Kyo to flinch and glare at him. Then he brought the shot up and administered it to the jittery cat. Kyo pulled his arm away and was about to say something when he started falling asleep. Hatori made sure he was really asleep and then made him lay down again, not against the wall.

"Ok. Hallucinations, check. Yes he definitely has a serious case of pneumonia." Hatori sighed, rubbing his head where the plate had hit him. He wondered if he should tell Tohru about this.

Hm.. Not too bad if I do say so myself. Well. You review, or you don't. I accept An..anono...um.. unsigned reviews. So anyone can review! really, please.. you don't have to but i like reviews. My sister recieved the last 30 or so. I'm feel unlove, insignificant, useless. -Tear-

Lana: oh quit it.

Reb: yes ma'am. -sigh- ok. review now if you care at all for this story. I know.. it must suck. I dont get many reviews. I get the idea. I'll stop it. I'll just get Kyo a quick recovery and end this story now. No one likes me.. -sob-

Lana: what a wuss.

Reb: -sob- That's it. You aren't seeing Ivey anymore. You'll stay gone when I talk to Blue. -sniff-

Lana: You're both whimps.

Reb: I just... reviews.. and.. jess... and..
