Sorry for the wait! This is the fic I write in the mornings at school so I couldn't work on it at home. But now I'm finished. Thanks to Kyki-the Late Night Writer, Kyonkichi-san, Kattykat, lydia-chan, The Only Onigiri,Martiny the one and only still, and Nami4027 for reviewing. Yeah. I like reviews. Who doesn't? Make me happy with reviews please and the next update will be faster.

Tohru had been in bed all morning and Shigure wouldn't let her get up. Her fever was too high. Finally, after a long day of drinking orange juice, taking her medicine, and trying to sleep, Yuki and Kyo were home. Kyo immediately threw off his school bag and went up to see Tohru.

"You don't look too good." He commented. Then, he paused as he realized what he just said. "I mean you don't look too good for being…sick…Not like you're ugly-definitely not ugly…"

"It's ok Kyo, I know what you mean." She coughed. Her voice was no more then a hoarse whisper.

"If you want I'll make you something to eat. I'm pretty sure Shigure just had take-out today." he kneeled next to her bed.

"No! I can cook. Really I can…" The same whisper came again.

"No. you're sick. You need rest. I'll handle the cooking."

There was a long, kind of awkward pause. Then, Tohru said, "Kyo?'"

"Yeah?"

"Do you…" Tohru was interrupted by a frenzy of coughs. It kind of hurt Kyo, seeing Torhu look so weak and pale. Not that she didn't look like that before, but this was torture, even for the Cat. Kyo passed her his water bottle that he had carried up with him. After letting her drink the water and finished coughing, he asked if she's ok.

"I really am ok!" She lied. Just to prove her wrong, Kyo told her that he'll be back in a second and returned with a thermometer and stuck it in her mouth.

After he saw her temperature, he immediately called for Shigure.

"103 degrees!?" He repeated with worry. "We have to call Hatori immediately!" Shigure ran into the hall and called the Sohma family doctor, who arrived after an hour.

"What took so long?" Kyo asked when he knocked on the door.

"I had been busy. I came as soon as you called. Tohru's sick, is she?" Hatori asked.

"Her fever is 103 and probably rising." Yuki answered.

So the four men went upstairs into Torhu's room. There, the saw Tohru lying in bed. White faced and looking weak and frail.

"Ha-Hatori-san?" Torhu opened her eyes.

"How long have you had a fever?" Hatori asked.

Torhu shrugged.

"She woke up in the middle of the night." Kyo told the Sohma family doctor. "And she was screaming saying she had a nightmare.

"That's probably because of her fever. I suggest, with a fever that high, you take her to the hospital. She'll get better treatment there." They realized a problem with that plan. Since Torhu was too weak, she wasn't able to walk. And none of them could carry her to the car or else they'd transform.

"I'm pretty sure I'm a man so I'll transform, Yuki, however, we're not sure about." Shigure joked.

"I heard that!" Yuki glared at Shigure.

"No matter how unsure we are about Yuki's gender, we have a problem here. How are we going to get Torhu to the hospital if none of us can carry her?" Kyo sat next to Torhu on her bed and gently stroked her hair. It really hurt him to see the usual smiling (and kind of dumb) face looking so weak and pale (not that she already wasn't weak and pale, but this was worse).

As Shigure, Yuki, and Hatori tried to figure out a way to help Tohru, Kyo spoke to her so softly, so only she could hear.

"Please, please get better." He began. "We-I can't afford to lose you." He stared at her for a moment, silently begging for her to get better. "I'll do anything." Gently leaning down, Kyo's lips met Tohru's. A soft yet passionate kiss ended slowly. The Cat smiled sweetly at the sick girl, who smiled back.

"Kyo and Tohru sitting in a tree," Shigure sang with a chuckle, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G."

"SHUT UP!" Kyo yelled while turning a deep crimson.

"But you were kissing. Well, not in a tree….In a bed!" Then he paused, realizing what he was saying. "I didn't mean in the perverted way!" He defended as Kyo hit him on the head.

"How is that not perverted?" Hatori asked. He and Yuki were the only ones who had the real problem in their minds and both Shigure and Kyo had gotten distracted by yelling at each other. A knock on the door got Shigure to go downstairs and open the door. A minute later, he went back up followed by Kakeru.

"Hey Yun Yun!" the newcomer waved to Yuki. "You forgot you're homework at school. Don't worry; I copied it for myself already!"

Yuki glared at Shigure with anger. "Why did you let him in?" Yuki growled.

"Don't get upset!" Kakeru said before he realized the scene before him. "What's wrong with her?" he asked, seeing Tohru bundled up.

"Our beloved Tohru-kun is terribly sick." Shigure stated. "And our doctor, Haa-san, can't do anything to help so we must take her to the hospital."

"Than why are you just standing around?" Kakeru cocked his head.

All three of the Sohma men stared at one other. They couldn't tell him the real reason. What they needed was an excuse.

"I can't," Shigure began, "because Kyo and Yuki don't trust me with carrying her." They all needed to come up with something. Shigure's reason was entirely true, even if he didn't have the curse on him, they still wouldn't have let him carry her.

"I-err-hurt my wrist while at the dojo." Kyo lied. "And because Yuki has weak girly muscles, he can't even lift a baby without straining himself." Yuki was about to protest, but he realized he would need another excuse if he told Kakeru he couldn't carry Tohru. Somehow he figured out that 'I'm a rat' isn't the greatest excuse.

Kakeru digested this for a minute, than asked, "Ok, but what about him?" He pointed to Hatori.

"Can you help us or not!" Kyo yelled impatiently, looking like he was about to hit him.

"I can! I can!" Kakeru reassured. Briskly, Kakeru picked up the sick girl and carried her down to Hatori's car. There, they sat in the car putting Tohru in a way so none of them would transform. They were sorry to tell Manabe that there wasn't enough room for him in the car. So as soon as they got into their seats, they drove off.

Hatori was driving faster than the speed limit, and the police took notice. They were forced to pull over.

"Do you know what the speed limit is?" The cop asked Hatori.

Looking stupid, the doctor hadn't paid attention to the speed limit, so he just took a guess. "65?"

"25." The cop corrected. "Can you tell me why in bloody hell were you going that fast?"

Kyo sat in the back, a look of frustration on his face. Couldn't he see a girl almost about to die? "Shut the hell up you damn cop! Can't you see we need to get to the hospital? I don't give a damn about the speed limit 'cause I care more about the love of my life's life than a stinking ticket!" He paused there. Had he just said 'the love of my life?' Shigure giggled in the front. Yuki looked out the window. He replaced his embarrassed look with his usual pissed look, though he was still red. "Drive Hatori. Now!"

Although Kyo couldn't see, there was a small smile on Hatori's lips. And what Shigure really loved was that when he was messing with Hatori's cell phone he had pressed the 'record' button and recorded Kyo saying 'Shut the hell up you damn cop! Can't you see we need to get to the hospital? I don't give a damn about the speed limit 'cause I care more about the love of my life's life than a stinking ticket!' when he played it when Hatori resumed driving, Kyo heard it and yelled in fury.

"What the hell Shigure! You did not record that did you? I'm going to kill you!!" Kyo attempted hitting Shigure.

"Don't break Haa-san's car!" Shigure put the cell phone away in his pocket.

Kyo was going to continue yelling when Tohru began coughing next to him.

"Wh-what's all the yelling?" She managed to ask between coughs.

"It's just Kyo. Don't worry. We're taking you to the hospital. You'll be alright." Yuki began. 'I hope.' All the men added mentally.

At last Hatori pulled up in front of the emergency room and called for help to get Tohru on a bed.
