Chapter # 2: Guardian Angel
It was just another day. Like any other day at Shigure's. Everyone had just finished breakfast. Yet…Something was different.
Something was wrong.
"I'm going to lie down," Yuki said grabbing his forehead,
"I don't feel well today."
"It was probably that rat poison in Tohru's cooking," Kyo mumbled sarcastically. Tohru stared at the table.
"Leave Tohru alone you baka neko!" Yuki announced standing,
"Tohru is the greatest cook we've ever known and so, you have no right to--!" Before Yuki could finish, he started falling. I stood up and caught him,
"Yuki! Are you alright!"
"Yeah…Yeah, I'm fine…"
I glared at Kyo,
"Yuki's sick you idiot, don't make him get all worked up in his current condition."
Kyo mumbled a response and headed upstairs. Moments later we could hear him climb onto the roof. I stared down at Yuki,
"Are you sure you're alright?"
"Yeah…I'm fine…"
He stood up and took a step away from me, but his legs weren't steady enough to hold him up anymore. He fell back into my arms.
"Yuki, you're really sick…"
His face paled out, and sweat rolled along his skin.
"You're burning up!"
He started coughing.
"Haru…" He whimpered my name. I felt so useless just standing there. I wrapped an arm around his back and tucked one under his knees. His arms went around my neck and his head rested on my chest. I carried him to his room and placed him on his bed. Then I rushed to the bathroom and wet a washcloth, wringing it out slightly before rushing into Yuki's room and placing it on his forehead.
"Ha-ru…"
He managed to say before his eyes closed on him and he was sent into the darkness.
