A/N: I'm not really sure how physical examinations go, but when I saw "quadriceps", I immediately thought of OHSHC. And I'm not about to ask my sister about it, since she does school sports. We're not really talking, even though we room together. Well, excuse my mistakes and the very late update. Almost a month since I've last updated! Please read and review! Thanks!

"You did what?" I fumed. The cow looked at me,

"I signed you up for Tennis and made an appointment with Hatori for your physical examination which you have to take in order to play."

My body shook with anger. How could he do this?

"Yuki is also in tennis. I thought that it might be a good chance to challenge him."

For once, Haru had a point. I just sighed miserably,

"When's the appointment?"

-x-

We both stepped foot into the Sohma Estate. It had been ages since I was here.

"I'm going to tell Hari that you're here!" the usagi skipped inside. We both walked down the familiar halls to the dragon's office. Momiji popped back outside,

"Hatori's busy with Akito's weekly examinations, so his assistant Jin will be conducting your physical."

The cow and I looked at each other and my irritation skyrocketed. I was going to let some stranger see my body?

-x-

"So, you're here for a physical?" the young assistant asked, flipping through the packet that Hatsuharu had given him.

"He is," Haru answered for me. Jin looked up; his square glasses glinted at the afternoon sun,

"Hatsuharu Sohma, please do not answer for him. He is my patient, not you."

The cow just glowered at the floor. I smiled inwardly. I liked the assistant already.

"Okay, could you please strip to your boxers so we can measure your weight?" Jin asked me. I hesitantly stripped and walked over to the scale where he carefully measure me and jotted down his findings on the paper,

"Hmm, 123.5 pounds and your height . . . five feet and seven inches. I see you keep your body healthy and in shape, that's a good sign. Okay, now your vision. Do you wear glasses?"

"No, I have 20/20 vision," I answered. Hatori's assistant just nodded, pushing his glasses higher up the bridge of his nose,

"Okay, now I have to check to see if there are scars and tattoos marring your skin. Turn around slowly for me, Kyo."

I turned slowly around in my boxers as I heard the occasional "Hmms".

"Your eyes, are okay as well. Ears, Nose, and Mouth are also in perfect function," Jin inspected. I stood still in my boxers, staring off at the wall until the rubbery texture of his latex gloves around the back of my neck shock me.

"Wh-What are you doing?" I asked.

"Just checking your neck for pain, standard check-up as stated in the packet. No cause for alarm, just relax and it'll be over," Jin promised me. I relaxed slightly, but tensed up when the fingers brushed up against my hairline and a shiver ran up my spine.

"No pain, I hope?" Jin wondered and I shook my head. He nodded and checked off another thing on the list,

"Okay, let me check your arms and legs for any discomfort and you're free to leave."

I let out a small breath of relief. All of this touching really had my nerves on edge. I looked over to the Ox who stood quietly by the door; he looked even more on edge than I am. What crawled up his butt and died?

"Kyou, do you train everyday?" Jin's sudden question surprised me.

"Oh, yeah, I do," I answered quickly. He flashed me a smile,

"It shows in your arms, the way your muscles buldge and tightens under my touch . . ."

For a second I thought he was hitting on me or that he was just too marveled that such a young thing as me would be so toned. A growl was heard out of nowhere and we both turned to see the cow seething in anger.

"If it bothers you so much, Hatsuharu, then please leave," Jin stated turning to the packet.

"Leave? Why? Do you really want to be alone with Kyou so much?"

"Well, considering he is my patient and you're not. And besides, you're making too much noise tapping your foot," the older man conclude. Haru grumbled under his breath before speaking up,

"I'm staying."

"Then stand there quietly," Jin scolded the Ox. His hands massaged and squeezed my thighs before slowly moving downward to my calves and then to my ankles,

"Okay, the procedure is over Kyou Sohma."

-x-

"Did you see the way he was touching you?" Hatsuharu rambled on next to me. I sighed once again,

"I guess that's how doctors are. I bet if Hatori was the one conducting my examination, he would've touched me that way too."

"I doubt it. He never touched Yuki like Jin touched you. Sure in the beginning it was normal, but when it came down to your chest and torso, that was different," Haru argued angrily.

"Yeah, whatever. Besides, why are you walking with me? Weren't you supposed to stay back?" I wondered. His eyes narrowed,

"That's because I don't want you to walk alone, especially when Jin could be right around the corner ready to kidnap you."

I laughed. It was ridiculous how the cow's mind was working over that little incident back in Hatori's patient room,

"You're getting paranoid, you know that? Why would Jin want to stalk me?"

"To claim you," Haru answered easily.

"Claim me? What are you -"

My back was soon against a stone wall and I rolled my eyes at the Ox's smoldering ones,

"Damn it, will you stop getting so turned on without Yuki here?"

"Who says I have to have Yuki around to get turned on?" Haru replied back, his hands trailing up and down my sides.

"Well it's obvious that you like the damn rat," I stated.

"True," the Ox drawled, his hands never stopping which brought me to my realization that they were trailing lower than anticipated.

"Whoa, whoa. What are you doing?" I scrambled away in alarm.

"I'm conducting an examination," Haru joked. I didn't find it funny at all.

"It's nice that you're trying to play doctor here, but aren't you a little too old for that?"

"Why not? There are lots of people who cosplay these days," the Ox shrugged, now kneeling on the ground in front of me and placing a kiss upon my clothed thigh.

"You know, if someone were to walk down this path right now, they might think that we're lovers or something with you kneeling," I stated. The Ox just smirked at my words and stood up,

"All we need is an audience and a ring to make their dreams come true."

I scoffed and laughed.

A/N: All my information about Kyou's height and weight, I found them at AbsoluteAnime. And . . . should we thank my room for having such a weak Wi-Fi connection? Since I had no internet and was far too lazy to move myself downstairs, I decided to at least finish this chapter. I felt that I've ignored it for far too long. Happy day. I'm thinking the next letter will be up on schedule.
