Chapter X
I'm back my dear readers! I couldn't leave you hanging on as long as I did last time, especially with the killer of a cliff hanger that I gave on the last chapter… Wait I almost forgot.
I do not own Fruits Basket.
Ok, back to the story, I'll pick up at the hospital.
Kyo was pacing back and forth in the emergency waiting room, while Haru, Ayame, Shigure, Yuki, and Kagura seemed to be sitting patiently. Hatori walked through the door marked staff only; Kyo quickly walked up to him.
"Well…what'd they say? Is it bad? Will she be ok? Is the baby ok… Tell me already!" Kyo quickly asked, not giving Hatori a chance to answer. By time he did every one was already standing around them.
"Calm down Kyo and stop yelling…we are in a hospital." Hatori calmly stated
"How the hell am I supposed to calm down! You haven't answered any of my questions yet damn it!" Kyo's voice was just below a yell.
"Be quiet and I will." Hatori snapped impatiently. Kyo opened his mouth to argue, but quickly shut it after a stern look for the Sohma doctor.
"I talked to her doctor and it seems everything is alright with Tohru and the baby." Hatori addressed everyone. "She was having early contractions, most likely due to stress or worry. Everything is fine; they are going to keep her over night for observations. She can go home tomorrow."
Kyo walked away and slumped into a chair, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Hatori followed Kyo's actions and sat next to him, and soon enough they were all a little more relaxed.
"Figures…" Yuki breathed.
"What 'figures'?" Kagura asked.
"She has always been one to worry over everyone and everything but herself."
Haru and Kyo nodded in agreement.
"You two!" Kyo suddenly snapped at Ayame and Shigure. "You're not allowed to visit her anymore! Got it!"
"But…" Ayame started.
"I think that is best…Shigure, Ayame." Hatori agreed giving both of them a look, daring them to defy him.
"I guess we must listen to them Aya." Both of them nodded then playfully hung their heads in fake shame. Yuki shook his head at their antics.
"Couldn't you two act more mature, we're in a hospital." Yuki asked, annoyed at their playfulness at a time like this.
"Mrs. Sohma has been assigned and room and is ready for visitors now." A pretty little nurse came out to the waiting room and Shigure raised an eyebrow. Before he could say anything Kagura grabbed him by his ear and dragged him out of the room.
Everyone was gathered in Tohru hospital room…everyone. Kagura and Kisa were sitting on either side of the bottom Tohru's bed. Kyo and Hatori were sitting in the visitor chairs next to the head. Haru, Hiro, and Momiji were leaning against the wall opposite to her. And Yuki was sitting on the window sill.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make everyone worry over me." Tohru started.
"Look, it's you that needs to stop worrying, Tohru." Kyo softly scolded at her.
"He's right, you know." Yuki agreed. Haru silently nodded.
"Yea, no more worrying for you Tohru." Momiji concurred.
"She shouldn't be worrying about everyone else anyway…stupid woman." Hiro muttered. Kisa shot him a bad look, and he looked away. Tohru nodded and smiled her usual full-hearted smile.
"Ok, no more worrying for me. I promise." She grinned.
The door opened and the same nurse from the waiting room walked in.
"Oh my, there shouldn't be this many people in here. Some of you have to go." She started to shoo them from the room till only Kyo and Hatori were left.
"I should get going too. Would you like a ride home Kyo?" Hatori offered.
"No thanks, I think I'll stay here tonight."
Hatori left taking the remaining Sohmas with him.
Ok, I truthfully couldn't leave you all hanging with that cliff hanger, espically after being wished good luck on my ACTs and all. There is nocliff hanger here, because the test is exactally one week from today, so I am devoting all my time to studying. Hope this chapter will hold you till then.
Your studious studier,
Roni
