Tohru woke up to a rather white room. The walls were white. The curtains were white. The light flooding into the room was white. W-what happened? She wondered confused as she tried to sit up. A terrible aching pain started in her head and she groaned, lying back down.
"Just relax, Tohru. Just lay down." A soothing voice said. That was when she noticed the pairs of eyes staring at her.
"Onee-Chan?" Kisa whispered, staring at her sadly. She'd obviously been crying.
"Kisa! It's okay, you don't need to cry. I'm alright, really." Tohru said hurriedly, not wanting to upset anyone.
"You should all be leaving. Tohru needs her rest and you lot aren't really helping." Hatori sighed. It was apparent that no-one was listening to him. "Out. NOW." Hatori growled at them all, catching their attention.
"Hatori, can't we stay a little longer." Momiji pleaded with him only to be ushered out the room. Hatori shut the door, turning to Tohru. "Do you remember what happened?" Hatori asked her, sitting in a chair, watching her intently.
"Yes ... A little. But, I'm fine really. Just a minor headache." Tohru said, trying to sound convincing. She didn't want them all worrying about her like this.
"Tohru, it's fine. You need to rest; you obviously have more than a headache." Hatori said, scribbling notes down on his notepad. "You're going to have to stay in bed for a few days but you should be fine to enjoy part of the holiday." With that, Hatori stood up. "Oh, and someone's outside waiting to speak to you. I'll let him in."
Tohru nodded, expecting Yuki, Kyo or Momiji, maybe even Haru. But no, it was Rei who walked slowly into the room, still in pain but he could walk ... sort of.
"R-Rei ... shouldn't you be resting too? You can hardly walk." Tohru said, wide eyed as the boy hobbled over to the bed and sat at the end, watching her.
"I'm fine, Tohru. I came to apologize." Rei said quietly, staring at his hands.
"Apologize for what? You didn't hurt me..." Tohru said, confused. She hated seeing Rei this sad, especially since this wasn't his fault.
"But Akito did and all because I asked you on a date. I should of just kept my mouth shut. I'm so sorry." Rei held his head in his hands, feeling stupid.
"It wasn't your fault Rei. You can't be blamed for Akito's actions, it's fine. Honestly." Tohru said quietly, wishing she could move to comfort him.
"How can you say it's fine? Aren't you scared? I'm his brother. Everyone else hates me, so why not you too?" Rei muttered, bewildered.
"Your nothing like Akito, Rei. There is good in you, you just need to believe in yourself. I don't care what everyone else thinks, I like you." Tohru smiled serenely, her head tilted to one side.
Rei looked at her, wondering if maybe Hatori had drugged her before allowing him in. But whatever the reason, he was glad she'd said that. Slowly, Rei leaned forward and kissed her cheek, wincing slightly at the pain it caused him but he didn't mind. He loved seeing Tohru blush; if possible it made her cuter.
"Do me a favour? Get well soon. We never got to have that date." Rei whispered in her ear.
Tohru went redder. "You mean we can still go? I don't want to cause you any trouble." She said biting her lower lip.
"No, no. I want to go. It'll be our little secret." Rei grinned at her before getting up slowly. "I'll see you later." He smiled, moving to the door.
"Rei?" Tohru called out just as he opened the door.
"Hmm?"
"Get better soon." She whispered quietly, smiling still. Rei nodded and laughed lightly before leaving the room and shutting the door. Tohru sighed, what was she going to do now? She hoped the other boys would get mad again. She didn't want to be the reason for Rei's pain.
