Chapter 11: I Promised You, Why Couldn't You Promise Me?
"Kyo are you ready? We have to eat or we won't be on time for the movie," Tohru called upstairs to Kyo. "Come, on! It's sushi night!"
"You go have it without me…I'll be down later," Tohru heard Kyo's mumbled voice from upstairs.
"Kyo, what's wrong?" Tohru climbed the stairs and opened the door. "Your voice sounds raspy." She saw him lying on the bed, half asleep. "Oh, come on. You're always hungry for dinner." She sat on the bed next to him and rubbed his back, a motion for him to get up.
But something was wrong. Kyo turned his face towards her. It was flushed. "I'll take you to the movies later; maybe a late movie would be best." He groaned and turned his head back around to fall asleep.
"Kyo, what's the matter? You always tell me to tell you if something's up. Well, now you have me worried. What are you…?" Tohru felt Kyo's head. "Ohmigod, Kyo! You're burning with fever. Forget the movies; your health is more important." She tried to prop him up on the bed.
"Oh, no. you can't wait on me. I promised to take you out tonight." Kyo argued and tried to sound angry, but he was failing just as much as his strength was. His statement turned into more of a whine.
"Kyo!" Tohru stood, hands on her hips. She glared at him. "You're sick. I've got to call Hatori. Are you comfortable? I'll make you some miso soup, while I'm at it."
"No, Tohru, You don't have to do anything…I'm fine…perfectly capable of…" Kyo stopped to go into a coughing fit. Tohru was at his side in an instant. But she couldn't do anything to help him.
"You need to rest." Tohru smiled sadly at him, giving him a kiss on his forehead. "Lie down." When Kyo obeyed, she went downstairs to start the soup and to call Hatori. She sighed, knowing it was going to be a long night.
"Hello, Hatori," Tohru whispered over the phone.
"Honda-kun, what's wrong. Why are you whispering?" Tohru heard Hatori's usual tone of voice on the other end.
"Kyo and Kohana are taking a nap and I just can't bring myself to wake them. Kyo hasn't been feeling well and he has a fever. I was wondering if you could stop by," Tohru replied.
"Yes, of course. I'll be there soon," then Hatori hung up.
Tohru placed the phone in the receiver and quietly tip toed to the bed. Kyo was sleeping soundly. She sat. Tohru reached her hand to his forehead, still flaming hot, and ruffled his hair a bit. "Oh, Kyo. You always said I should look out for myself. Take you own advice," Tohru murmured, feeling nothing but melancholy.
Hatori came out of Kyo's room, shaking his head, sadly. Tohru held the baby in her arms, rocking her to sleep once more. She placed the baby in the crib and hurried out of her room when she heard the door across the hall open. She met Hatori in the hallway.
"How is he?" Tohru's voice was full of concern.
"I'm afraid…" Hatori began slowly, "that he has bacterial meningitis. I need to know… has he been irritable lately?"
"He has. But I didn't really notice, especially keeping an eye on the baby. I thought he was just so irritated because of the noise and commotion that has happened these few weeks. But, he complained of some headaches a couple days ago and he said he took aspirin. Hatori, could this be…deadly?" Tohru exclaimed everything that she thought of at the moment, and held her hands against her chest.
"It depends on how long he has had the infection and the disease. But I'm sorry, since you can't go near him for a couple of days. I'm pretty sure he's still contagious, so I'll have to take him to the Sohma Hospital, our private one, and he'll be closely watched. Don't worry, Tohru. He'll probably be fine in a couple of weeks." Hatori tried to reassure her, even though he wasn't to sure about it. But he just couldn't worry her.
"Hatori, I thank you for coming here." She bowed slightly. "I need to pack Kyo's things!" she hurried out of the hallway, covering her mouth. Kyo's dresser was in her room. She closed the door behind her quietly and let out a miserable sigh. She couldn't help but start to sob. "Kyo…why didn't you…" she couldn't find her voice, and tears started to form in her eyes. She opened the drawer and tossed some of his clothes on a chair in the room. Not knowing what to do next, she collapsed on the bed, burying her face in her pillow. "Kyo!" she whispered. "It can't happen! It just can't!"
For a week, Tohru heard nothing about him. Hatori had taken him to the hospital and poor Kyo was delusional and didn't know what was going on as Hatori laid him gently in the back seat of the car.
"What? Wh-where am I goin'? I don't wanna leave! Tohru…where's Tohru?" Kyo almost cried.
Tohru hurried to the car window. She held his hand. "It's going to be alright. I'll visit you soon and explain everything."
Just seeing Tohru's face made Kyo smile. He raised his hand to her face, caressing it soothingly down her cheek. He made her tears fall. "Kyo, I love you." She breathed. The car drove off and Tohru was standing there silent…until she heard the baby cry from her carriage outside on the lawn. Tohru scurried over and picked her up gently, cooing to her. She looked in the distance as she watched the car disappear.
