"I guess... but I don't want to be seen like this."
"I know, but you know she'll take good care of you."
"I know, that's what makes it so bad."
"Why Kyou because she cares about you?"
"That's not what I meant."
"I don't want to have to be cared for."
"Why not any child loves someone who cares about them."
"I do, but I don't want it."
Hatori sighed shaking his head.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be sorry you're not the kind of child that got what the other kids got."
"I... I don't wanna be seen as weak."
"It's not weak Kyou."
"I can't even walk, that's pretty weak."
"Because you fell kids fall all the time you don't know how many times Sieg had to be taken to the emergency room because she fell off the roof or from a tree."
"Yeah, but I fell down a worthless set of stairs.
"At least you didn't fall up them." Tohru stood at the doorway holding vanilla and chocolate pudding.
"Still, I shouldn't have gotten this hurt, that's what makes me feel weak."
"Kyou after you eat some pudding you should rest ok?" She walked over to him sitting beside him. "I need to call home and see how Sieg is doing if her fever broke or not."
"Yeah... but..." His stomach growled, showing his hunger and that made him stop. "Okay."
She smiled. "I wasn't sure which one you liked so a snuck two out for you."
He nodded and then looked at them. "I like both, so thanks."
She nodded lightly. "Good I'll stock up on this then when you come back home."
"H-hatori said I should stay with you."
Her head tilted to the side. "Is that what you want Kyou?" She handed over the pudding.
He took it, but he couldn't hold it with his left arm in the shape that it was and it fell across his chest. "Uah!!" He cried. She took the now empty container of pudding placing it on the table beside him. She walked over to the cupboards pulling down a hospital Gown. Hatori sat Kyou up to get the dirty shirt off him. With the IV in he couldn't get it off without cutting the fabric, neither would the new shirt go on.
"I'll go get a nurse to help." Hatori left the room retrieving a nurse.
He frowned and looked at his hand. "I'm so useless!" He said, lifting his right arm to bring across his face.
Tohru looked at him sadly. "Kyou please don't say that..."
"I'm the most useless thing in the world!"
Her head lowered tears falling on her hands. "... You're not worthless... Not to me not to Sieg..."
"I know... but... I can't do anything."
"... Your hurt right now, its ok..." She kept her head down.
Hatori walked in with a nurse now to help clean him up.
"I... I can't."
"Can't what Kyou?" She looked up to him sadly.
"I hate being so... I hate being hurt!"
"Tohru!" Reaches out to her with his good arm. She stopped at the doorway looking back to the cat. "Don't go, I'm sorry."
"... I'll be right back I want to check on my daughter..."
"Okay..." He nodded a little and looked at the container of chocolate. "Hatori... you know how much I don't want to ask this..."
"You know she'll probably feed you when she gets back." The nurse slide the IV back into his arm.
"Ouch!" He whimpered, as he wasn't suspecting the IV. "Right, but it's so embarrassing to have her do it."
"She did it for Sieg all the time when she broke her arm." Hatori looked down at the cat.
