A/N: I really love getting reviews. Thanks everyone. Now… I'm sorta exhausting myself for ideas right now, but we'll see how this goes.
Note: Onee-chan: big sister
Nisan : big brother (as far as I know...)
Ojiisan: granddad or uncle (I think... I can't really remember...)
"I think she's waking up…"
"We can see that, stupid cat."
"Don't call me stupid!"
As her eyes fluttered open, Tohru recognised the speakers as Kyo and Yuki. "Where… am I?"
"You're in the hospital," Shigure said, smiling for some reason. He was sitting on a chair opposite the bed. Kyo and Yuki were on either side of him.
"The hospital! Why?" Tohru gasped.
Kyo and Yuki looked away. "You ran into our fight… and your arm collided with Kyo's fist and my foot. The doctors say it's broken," Yuki explained sorrowfully.
"My arm… is broken?" She looked to her left. That arm was in perfect condition. Then she looked to her right.
"Aaah! My arm! It's all purple!"
"That's… the cast. Your arm is in the cast." Shigure said.
"Oh," Tohru said, feeling a bit stupid. "Right."
Looking at the cast again, she saw a word. "Shi…gu…re…" she read it out aloud. "Why does my cast say Shigure?"
A nurse entered the ward. "Oh, you're awake. He," she pointed to Shigure, "Couldn't stop himself. I told him to wait to ask you, but I'm afraid he must have wrote on it once I'd left." The nurse gave Shigure a sharp glare before turning back to Tohru. Clearly his looks didn't have much of an effect on the woman. "You've been unconscious for a several hours, dear. These three have been waiting for you to wake up. I just wish they'd be a bit quieter. They've been disturbing the other patients, you know? All this 'damn rat' and 'stupid cat' talk. I presume they're talking about their pets, but it's nothing to get all competitive over."
Tohru blinked wordlessly, and the nurse smiled and left.
"Tohru-kun… can I sign your cast?" Shigure asked once the door shut.
Tohru was confused. "I thought you already did?"
Kyo and Yuki sighed.
"I did," Shigure agreed, "But I want to sign it a 2nd time. Aaya got to..."
"Ayame-san signed my cast too?" Tohru asked, a little shocked. "He's been to see me?"
Shigure nodded. "He came to bring some accessories, because Haa-san's comment about his shirts being flimsy cut him deep. So he brought hats and scarves and other bits instead." He indicated a large white bag beside him. "All for free."
Tohru sweat-dropped. "Oh, okay. That was very kind of him." She turned over her cast to see Ayame's name sprawled in large writing twice.
"Honda-san… I'm sorry your arm was broken because of us," Yuki apologised.
There was a "Hey, you're changing the subject!" from Shigure, but Kyo spoke over him.
"I'm sorry," Kyo said to Tohru. "It's just… I got a bit carried away."
"That's okay," Tohru said, a smile on her face.
"So, about signing the…" Shigure began.
"Onee-chan?"
No one had noticed the door open. Kisa was standing there along with Hiro.
"Kisa-chan! How did you know I was here?"
"Ojiisan told everyone that you had broken your arm and that you were in a critical condition, so I decided to come see you."
"Ojiisan?" Tohru repeated. "You mean Ayame-san?"
Kisa nodded, and then came over to the bed with Hiro following rather sullenly. The young girl said to the older, "How are you, Onee-chan? Are you going to be all right?"
Tohru nodded confidently. "It's just a broken arm. I'll get better!"
"But," Kisa looked at Hiro. "Ojiisan said it was critical. That means it's bad, doesn't it?"
"Oh, Aaya exaggerates sometimes," Shigure laughed. "Tohru will be fine."
Kisa nodded and sat on the side of Tohru's bed.
"I don't see why we had to come if it's not that bad," Hiro muttered. "That stupid woman is so clumsy. Can't she just take care of herself? She's always causing problems."
"Hiro-chan, please don't say bad things about Onee-chan," Kisa said to Hiro quietly.
Meanwhile, Kyo and Yuki and Shigure were sitting there, watching the exchange a little curiously. "News gets around fast, doesn't it?" Shigure remarked.
"YOU were the one who told Ayame about Tohru. Before you know it, the whole zodiac will be over to visit," Kyo growled.
Yuki nodded. "This room is not big enough to host that many people."
"Onee-chan, could I please sign your cast?"
The three of them turned to see Kisa talking to Tohru.
"Sure," Tohru said happily.
"I want to sign afterwards! Me! Me!" Shigure said loudly.
"Stupid dog, you signed already!" Kyo yelled.
"I'M signing after Kisa!" Hiro yelled at Shigure.
Shigure retreated further back into his seat. "Okaaaaay… I'LL SIGN AFTER HIRO! ME!"
Yuki shook his head. When would Shigure learn?
Kisa signed first, in cute little writing, then Hiro wrote his directly beneath Kisa's. Shigure shoved them all out of the way to write "LOVES SHIGURE" under Ayame's name. Yuki went up to sign, and Kyo did too.
As Kyo was signing his name, the door opened. "Only 3 people are allowed to be in this room at a time!" the nurse grumbled. "It's just a broken arm and she should be out by tomorrow. So 2 of you have to please leave now."
Kisa looked at Tohru apologetically. "I'll come again tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay," Tohru answered happily. "Bye Kisa! Bye Hiro!"
"Finally, we're going," Hiro said grumpily as he went out the door. "Why did she have to break her arm in the first place? Can't she be more careful? People shouldn't have to come running around to the hospital seeing her because she can't take care of herself. She's so stupid."
"No she isn't, Hiro-chan," Kisa said. The two children left, and once again it was Kyo, Yuki, Shigure and Tohru in the room.
GRROOOOOOWL.
Shigure grinned helplessly. "I'm huuuuungry. Can we get something to eat? Aren't you hungry too, Tohru-kun?"
Tohru nodded slightly. "But I don't think I can cook, Shigure-san."
"Cook!" Kyo and Yuki gasped.
"You shouldn't even THINK of cooking!" Kyo yelled.
"I'll go buy something for us," Yuki said. "There's a shop not far from here that sells really nice sukiyaki with stir fried leeks…"
"Damn rat! I'll go buy the food! You have no taste!"
"Tohru would like it. Don't you want it, Tohru?" Yuki asked.
Tohru chewed her nails nervously. "I don't mind anything. If it's too much trouble then…"
"I'll go," Shigure said, getting up and walking out the door.
"Wait, what are you going to get?" Kyo asked, running after Shigure.
"Honda-san, I'll get Shigure," Yuki said, following them. "I won't be long."
"Oh." Tohru looked around the room. It was empty except for her.
She settled down to have a rest, when she heard a tap tap tap. Thinking she was imagining it, she ignored it. A few minutes went by but the tapping didn't cease.
"Is… someone there?" she asked, trying to get out of the bed. The cast weighed her down significantly.
There was a cough somewhere by the window.
"He-hello?" she asked worriedly. She peered through the glass.
"TOHRU-SAN!"
"AAAAHH!" Tohru screamed, trying to step back and slipping down the smooth floor. She fell backwards and scraped her leg on a sharp edge of the bed, as well as hitting her head on the ground.
"Ri….Richan-san?" she asked. Everything was going dark for some reason.
"OH MY GOD! TOHRU-SAN! I HURT YOU! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! I'M SOOOO SORRY!" came the agonised cry from the window. All Tohru heard were the words "I'm so sorry!" over and over as she fell unconscious yet again.
A/N: Sorry for bringing so many characters into this! I'm just really lacking ideas here. But really, it wasn't very good for Yuki and Kyo and Shigure to ALL leave her alone. Never mind, they'll be back. I know it wasn't very funny, but yeah. Being in the hospital shouldn't really be a funny thing anyway. O.O
