Chapter Five
Shigure drew back the curtain to Tohru's bed, Yuki and Kyo following behind him. As they entered they found Tohru sleeping. Yuki and Kyo sat down not wanting to wake her up, while Shigure pounded over to her bed, poking her face. "Wow, incredibly soft."
"Shigure what the hell are you doing?" Kyo hissed at him.
"Yuki's brother's the snake not you." He shrugged his shoulders, now turning to face Kyo. "I wanted to check she was alive. I couldn't see if she was breathing or not."
"You're such a pervert. You've caused enough trouble already, going off to tell Akito-sama everything." At that moment Tohru stirred from her sleep.
"Who's a snake?" She asked still half asleep.
"Great, now she heard you." Yuki mumbled under his breath.
"I never knew you had a brother Yuki. How old is he and what's his name?" Tohru asked excitedly.
"He called Ayame, and he's 27 years old. So have you recovered any memories yet?" Yuki quickly asked to change the subject of Ayame.
"Not really, apart from some beads. A bit like Ying and Yang." Kyo went tense then and Yuki and Shigure avoided his gaze.
"I'm gonna use the bathroom." Kyo said hurriedly to leave. He brought his arm up to draw back the curtain, when his juzu bead bracelet slid down his arm slightly.
"Wait!" Tohru shouted at Kyo. "Those are the beads I saw in my memory." Everyone except Kyo turned to look at Tohru. Kyo stopped for a few seconds, and then walked out. "Did I say something wrong?" Tohru wondered out loud, starting to feel sad.
"Oh no, I think he just needs the toilet." Yuki told her, now feeling angry at Kyo for upsetting her.
A few minutes later a nurse walked in. "Hello, Mr. Yuki and Mr. Shigure, I came to inform that Tohru will be ready to go home from tomorrow. Would that be ok? She can only stay here for one day extra." Shigure and Yuki exchanged glances.
"Yes, I'm sure that will be ok."
Tohru stared ahead in disbelief. "Y-you mean I live with them?" She shouted louder than needed, pointing at them both, feeling very shocked.
"You may not remember, but after your mother died, your grandfather let you live in their house."
"With three boys?"
"If it's a problem, we can contact your grandfather?"
"Oh no that's ok, if grandfather said it's ok then I'm fine with it." Tohru answered remembering herself, as practically slave for the people who all live in that house, except for her grandfather.
"Alright then, I'll be on my way. Call if you need anything." The nurse said, slightly unsure before leaving them. After she left Tohru turned to the two boys.
"Do you know what happened to Kyo? Does he usually take this long to use the bathroom?"
"No, he might have gone back home."
"Oh…" Tohru mumbled feeling sad.
An hour later Uotani and Hanajima walked in with Kyo. "Hana, Uo, Kyo, you're all here. Kyo where did you go I missed you?"
"We found him outside in the hospital garden." Uotani butted in.
"You stupid cat, you mean you stayed in the hospital garden for more than an hour." Yuki shouted at him.
"You damn rat, it's none of your business."
"What's with all the animal names?" Uotani wondered.
"My poor little Tohru." Hanajima said as she flew over to Tohru's bed. "How did this happen? Was it 'that' boy?" She spat out the words, staring hard at Kyo. "If you want I can send electric shots through his body, really painful ones?" She asked in her scary voice.
"Oh no, that won't be needed. Really." Tohru told her, waving her hands about.
"Who in their right mind would have a YANKEE and a PHYCHIC for friends?" Kyo wondered under his breath.
"You say something orange-top?" Uotani asked. Hanajima's eyes boring through his skin, her hair standing on top.
"This might just be me, but all the Sohma's I've seen, always have an air of mystery to them. But then again, I'm not usually wrong."
"I think we'll be on our way now." Shigure said grabbing Yuki and Kyo and pulling them out. "Bye Tohru, see you tomorrow. Bye Hanajima, bye Uotani."
"So rude they are." Hanajima said, once they had left.
"Yeah!" Uotani agreed. "Hey Tohru, if any of them, especially orange-top, EVER do anything bad to you, tell me straight away, even if it's the middle of the night. Me and Hana will set them right, show 'em what we're made off."
They talked up until visiting hours were over, and left hugging each other, with good-bye's and good-nights.
