Chapter # 3: Hatori's Visit
Momiji and Hatori walked into Shigure's house.
"Who's my patient this time?" Hatori questioned.
"Yuki. He's up in his room. He's burning up, he couldn't even stand on his own, and he was coughing again!" I announced.
Hatori went upstairs to Yuki's room.
(Switching to Yuki's POV)
I lied there, basically motionless. I saw Hatori enter my room and I smiled at him,
"Hi…Hatori," I said weakly.
He pulled up a chair and sat beside my bed.
"You've gotten worse?"
"…Hai…"
"Why haven't you told the others?"
"About my newly discovered sickness? I don't want them worrying…"
"Well if anyone's worrying right now…It's Haru."
"H-Haru?"
"Hai."
"That's the last thing I want…Him worrying about me…"
"Well, he's really scared about what's going to happen to you…"
I sighed,
"How much longer do I have until…?" I trailed off, but Hatori understood me.
"Judging by your current state…I'd say…Two more days…"
I let out a low gasp.
"Two…Days?"
"Hai."
There was a pause,
"…Yuki?"
"Do you want me to tell Haru? So you don't have to?"
"No…No, I won't make you do that Hatori…" I paused a moment,
"I'll tell him."
Hatori nodded and left the room.
"Two more days," I whispered to myself,
"Just two."
