Chapter 3
The Rain
Yuki stared out the living room window and sighed. It had been raining for 5 days strait. Water was everywhere and the house temperature had dropped. Picking up a large blanket, Yuki slipped it over a sleeping Thru. SHe had fallen asleep watching a funny movie Shigure and he had picked out. Of course, he had lost interest halfway through the movie. Something had been bothering him the last two days, and it wasn't the rain, or the fact that Ayame hadn't left till last night.
It was Kyo.
Why?
Not even Yuki knew the answer to that one. Infact, it was troubling him to an almost annoying state. Sighing, Yuki walked into the kitchen and poured some hot tea into a cup. He glanced over at the pot that held soup in it.
Had tohru made it for Kyo?
As stupid as it felt, Yuki poured another cup of tea and spooned some soup into a bowl. It was still hot and smelt very good. 'Just like all of her cooking' He thought with a soft smile.
He set the food on a tray and started for the stairs, only to be intercepted by Shigure.
"Going somewhere with that food?" The dog asked.
Yuki glared. "Yes, actually, I'm"
Shigure snickered. "Not to grumpy old Kyo? He's so tired and grumpy even Tohru failed to get him to eat."
"Too bad. When was the last time he ate?" Yuki asked calmly, ignoring the smirk Shigure was giving him.
"The day the rain started"
Yuki's eyes widened. "What! Is he crazy?" but then calm covered the princes face once again. "The cat always was a fool." Then, he headed up the stairs, tray of hot food in his hands.
Shigure shook his head slightly. "Those two."
Kyo grumbled, not only through his mouth, but through his stomach as well. He hadn't eaten in four days. Maybe an occasional drink or light snack...but no decent meal. He was afraid his stomach wouldn't hold it. Infact, He was certain it wouldn't hold the food down. 4 full days of rain. It was enough to drive anyone insane.
He sighed, rolled onto his side and looked at his hand.
Where Yuki had brushed his own hand in a silent 'Thank you.
Not that Kyo was actually touched by the gesture. He slammed his hand onto the bed and groaned. The small movement made him even more tireD.
The sound of the door opening made him jerk slightly in surprise. Then he sighed. "I told you Tohru...I'm too tired to eat"
"Too bad."
Yuki had almost fallen down at the sight of a pale and exhausted Kyo. He had rarely cared where the cat disappeared to on rainy nights.
After Kyo snapped at him from facing the other way. The comeback was weak, but got his attention.
"Too bad"
Kyo turned over and Yuki watched those red eyes widen in shock. " W-what are you doing in my room." then those eyes wandered to the tray of steaming food and a wet cloth.
"I came to give you food. Since you've refused it long enough"
"I have eaten food in the last few days. Go away." Kyo snapped as Yuki set the tray on the night stand.
"No. You're going to eat it, or I'll feed you myself." Yuki glared.
"Look yaw damn..." Yuki's hand reached out and grabbed the cat's shirt, pulling him forward till they were nose to nose.
"Eat. The. Food. Tohru made it just for you and your sulking upstairs like a baby"
"I always do this on rainy days. You better than anyone should know that." Kyo snorted pulling the rat's hands off his night shirt.
Yuki glared and sat at the desk as Kyo ate the food slowly.
Kyo knew the rat was watching him calmly. Waiting for the signal to either leave, or rush the cat to the bathroom because the food wouldn't stay down.
and ding ding ding. Door number two.
Kyo grabbed his stomach and stumbled to the door, Yuki behind him, leading his through the hallway into the bathroom.
Yuki sat on the rim of the bathtub as Kyo emptied what he had tried to force down. Kyo was clutching the toilet for dear life when Yuki stood up, left the bathroom and brought back a glass of what looked like ginger ale.
The rat squatted beside the trembling cat and handed him the glass. Kyo eyed it suspiciously. "Drink it. You'll feel better." Yuki sighed as Kyo took the glass and slowly drank it down. Then Yuki handed Kyo a towel and turned on the water.
"What are you doing"
"Running a bath. You need to work you muscles back into an easy mode. The rain should stop tomorrow. I'll get you some clothes." Yuki stood up and walked out of the bathroom.
Kyo flushed the toilet and started removing his clothes. God he felt pathetic and childish. Yuki, The damn Rat, was trying to make him feel better. He snorted and thought maybe Tohru had told him to do it cuz she was busy, but deep down, Kyo knew, without a doubt.
That Yuki was doing this of free will...
