Ok I want to say sorry for how late this is... I couldn't log into the website and I feel very bad for making people wait. now you enjoy this fun chapter!

Yuki sighed as he laid back looking at his family. He then realized he called them family, and the crazy thing was - they were. The ones that loved and put up with him, yes, even his brother was family. Yuki smiled and sighed.

"Hatori?" Yuki ask.

"Yes, Yuki?"

"Could one of you please bring me my school work from the house? I really don't want to fall behind….you know?..."

The three men smiled. "Already done, Yuki," Shigure said with a smile. "While getting your stuff, I got your homework and some new stuff from the school. It's all here when you need it." Yuki's face was shocked. The men chuckled and Shigure ruffled Yuki's hair. Yuki's face became unamused but took there overly happy actions, and went along with what they talked about.

Shigure went back home, doing work on his new book, while Hatori went to his home office to take care of sick family members. Leaving Aya to sit and keep watch over Yuki. Aya sat in a chair reading over a fashion magazine to get inspiration for his new fashion line. He scratched his ideas on paper with a smile and then started on another idea that popped into his mind. Yuki sat in his bed doing math homework, often letting his mind wander to the pills on the counter; but dismissed the thoughts and went back to his work.

Finding he was having trouble understanding his math homework, Yuki put down his pencil and looked over at his brother working. Yuki found himself entertained watching his brother's mind and face change with each line he drew on the paper. Not wanting to disturb his brother, he continued to watch, wondering what wild outfits he was drawing. Aya stopped and laid back, resting his hand. He turned his head, finding Yuki watching him, and chuckled.

"How you doing, Yuki? You have been quiet for quite a long time now, you know."

Yuki blush slightly. "I was just having a hard, umm- hard time understanding…the math problems I have to do. So when I looked over at you, I got caught up in your fashion expressions …" Aya laughed.

"Yes. I know I tend to make weird faces when I think of something good to draw, you know." Yuki nodded in agreement with a very small smile, showing that indeed, it couldn't have been more true than that.

"You want me to help you with the math?" Aya questioned. Yuki gave a not-so-sure look and thought for a moment. Aya waited patiently watching Yuki contemplate the idea. Yuki nodded embarrassed.

Aya stood up, walked over to Yuki's bed, picked up the paper and looked in the book.

"You're here, right?" he said saying trying to figure out what Yuki was having trouble with. Yuki nodded, and Aya read and read and finally found what the trouble was.

"OK. See where you multiplied these numbers? You have to then add them to these too and then find what this means. OK, let me show you."

Ayame took a blank piece of paper from Yuki's notebook and showed some simple ways to figure out how to do the problem. Step by step, by step. Yuki was blown away with how his brother was able to write all this down in such a nice, orderly way.

"Here, try the first three problems and I'll see if there're right." Yuki looked at the paper and took his time with the problems.

"Here," Yuki said, handing the paper to his brother.

Aya looked over the paper and looked at Yuki happily.

"Good job! Keep going! Ask if you have any more questions. You got that really fast, it took me a long time to get that kind of math." Yuki felt pride when he herd his brother praise him in such away. Praise…from him…Yuki felt a little happy that he and his brother were getting along and not fighting for once.

Four hours later, Yuki was done with all of his work, with the help from his brother. Yuki sighed and closed his eyes; too soon, he woke up to three men talking about something-something Yuki knew they would never talk about to his face.

"Yuki is strong- but we can't leave him alone."

"I agree but he is doing so well, why can't he just-"

"No, his body can't take anymore, he is in worse shape than you think, he is not to leave this place, he is still too weak..."

"How will he take not being free? Surely you don't expect him to-"

"Yes, yes Shigure I believe he is in danger. We can't let him out of our sight," Hatori said in a grave tone. Yuki then started coughing hard, causing the men to rush to his side.

Yuki started to uncontrollably cough. A little blood came up, causing little drops to hit his chest. Shigure helped Yuki lean over, so Yuki wouldn't choke on his own blood. Yuki stopped coughing, but kept his position. Shigure rubbed his back and watched his little cousin bent over in pain.

"Yuki, breathe in and out," Shigure said, but what Shigure got in reply was his hand swatted away, and a glare from his young cousin.

"I don't need your help or pity," Yuki said in a harsh voice, which made Shigure back away. Yuki looked down again and everyone in the room knew he felt bad for what he just said. Yuki swallowed and said quietly, "Can I try to walk? I hate this bed…"

The men's eyes widened but they nodded. They called in some male nurses and they disconnected the IV and the suckers on Yuki's chest. The nurses put a robe on Yuki, and let Hatori and Ayame help Yuki slowly off the bed and support him. Yuki gritted his teeth and thinking this really wasn't such a good idea. "OWWWW OWW OW OWWW OWWOW!" Yuki started to fall back, but was supported by his cousin, and brother.

"You can do this, Yuki." Aya said, hoping his brother would try to continue to walk. Shigure wheeled in a wheel chair so when Yuki got to a certain point in walking, he could sit down.

"Yuki, look; just walk to the chair and you will be done. It's not far, just take…" but Hatori was cut off by Yuki's loud scream.

"STOP, STOP, STOP! IT HURTS TOO MUCH!"

"No, Yuki, you have to start walking anyway. I know you will pull through. Come on, just one more small step," Hatori said encouraging him as well.

Yuki's jaw started to shake as he gripped Hatori's and Ayame hand's. "I- I- I CAN'T!" and Yuki's legs gave out and he let himself fall to the floor. Ayame and Hatori; along with the male nurses standing close caught him and gently let his body touch the floor. Yuki put his hand to his face covering his quivering mouth and tears falling from his face.

"Hay, hay, you can try again latter. How about we try tomorrow? Or how about after lunch or a little latter than that?" A kind nurse said trying to make Yuki feel better. "It's really hard to walk after surgery, don't feel bad."

But this only made Yuki feel worse and let some of his choked up sobs out, still covering his face, with now two hands. Another nurse looked at Hatori and said. "I'll stay with him, It might be best if you guys leave for the moment." Hatori nodded in agreement and stood up while other nurses got Yuki into a bed. Aya just watched with heavy heart as his brother covered his face in shame of his family seeing him like this.

Aya knowing what he was about to do would probably cause forever hate from his brother, stood next to him and gave a very quick hug, and then let go. Aya then walked out not seeing his brothers face look up and watching him leave. Aya's hair was the last time that night that he saw his brother. The nurses hooked up the IV and the suckers back to Yuki's chest as he cried.

I don't know why the last P is bigger font but oh well... Plz tell me what you think. Please...?
