Tohru and yuki arrived to class just in time, kyo was already sat in his usual spot lounging back in his chair his skin was pale and he had slight frown on his face he didn't look happy at all, yuki ignored him heading straight for his own spot getting his books out and ready for class,

"good morning kyo-kun" tohru stopped in her passing

"I uh morning" kyo suddenly remembered this morning, tohru had tried talking to him only for him to slam the door straight in her face he sweat dropped slightly "um listen this morning I didn't…y'know that damn dog he just pisses me off"

thouru let out a sweet smile he was trying to apologise "oh don't worry kyo I understand" "but um… will you be ok today, you skipped breakfast and your very pale"

"yea, I didn't… I mean I'm just not hungry I'll eat at lunch"

tohru frowned slightly "scouts honour" she replied

"um yea sure"

tohru smiled and rushed to take her spot in class just as the teacher entered.

Kyo was tired, he made it to the second period before his headache began a slow increasing pressure behind his eyes, glancing at the clock 10 minutes and the bell would ring signalling lunch, he ran his hand through his hair trying to relieve some of the tension building, maby he could have a quick nap during lunch, then just 3 more classes he thought laying his head on the table he would manage that right?

Half and hour later and kyo felt sick to his stomach he sat at the end of the table just pushing his lunch around the plate, everyone was there, chatting and laughing amongst themselves, haru was talking quietly with yuki. Hannah, arisa, tohru and momiji all giggling at the opposite end of the table laughing at some comic momiji had presented, he locked eyes with tohru instantly looking away, he took a small mouthful of his lunch aware that tohru was watching him, he did say he would eat but god he felt sick,

"kyo-kun are you sure your feeling aright, you're still awfully pale" tohru piped up

"yea carrot top you're not looking so hot" arisa added,

kyo felt like a deer caught in headlights all attention suddenly on him "Im fine" he frowned "I just didn't sleep great"

"you should speak to the nurse if your unwell, your waves are definitely off today" Hannah announced.

in an instant haru was in his face inches away, kyo flinched caught off guard at the sudden intrusion on his personal space, haru slowly scanned his face noting the circles under his eyes, how pale and clammy his skin was and the slight tremble of his hands before giving him a knowing look "kyo, you should head home"

"would you shove off!" pushing haru away "get out of my face, you damn cow"

haru just blinked he knew, this was part of it the irritability kyo stood abruptly grabbing his plate on his way

"kyo…." Haru tried to speak again before being cut off

"just drop it will you" he stormed off leaving everyone in silence throwing his plate on the trolly as he passed he had barely touched his lunch he felt sick.

"im sorry, I didn't mean to cause any problems"

"don't worry miss honda it's not your fault he's just being an idiot"

"um do you think he's ok though he really does look awful"

haru opened his mouth to speak before yuki interjected

"he'll be fine miss honda probably just a cold" yuki looked to the ground he couldn't look her in the eye and outright lie that damn cat owes me.

Kyo slowly made his way to the roof his sanctuary away from everyone, opening the fire exit door he was hit with a burst of daylight he clasped his head squeezing his eyes closed god it was bright, all that shouting hadn't helped with his ever growing headache he slowly lowered himself to the ground raising his trembling arms to cover his face trying to block the light he glanced at his hands as he raised them, shit he was really shaky, maybe I should go home? he thought. But there was still half an hour left of lunch, maybe I'll feel better after some rest, probably just tired from this morning he thought, within seconds he was drifting off to sleep.

He awoke suddenly when the bell rang signalling class had begun, he staggered to his feet dazed, he didn't feel rested at all definitely too tired to walk home he wouldn't make it, he could call hatori to pick him up but the day was more than halfway through he would manage, with that thought he began making his way to class just 3 classes then the day would be done if he was lucky he could maybe get away with napping in class he could at the least sit down.

"Kyo sohma!"

he looked up from his trance he felt distant he could see someone standing in front of him shouting but it took his brain a minute to catch up, oh he was late the teacher was telling him off

"where have you been class began 5 minutes ago! Tardiness is not tolerated"

kyo just stood in silence wracking his brain for the right reply

his teacher looked him up and down letting out a sigh "just hurry and take your seat"

"r-right" he bowed slightly before finding his spot

the teacher eyed him once more stunned at how placid the boy was being before continuing on with the lecture,

Yuki felt relief upon seeing his cousin enter the class he was getting ready to go and look for him, he was thinking the worst had happened when he didn't show up for class, kyo looked worse now than he did at lunch he felt a little guilty now for not keeping track of him after he stormed off especially after telling shigure he would keep an eye out, he would never admit it but he did feel bad for the cat he'd witnessed his epilepsy over the years it's not something he would wish on his worst enemy. He really did look terrible yuki thought watching him like a hawk as he fell to his seat and began rummaging in his bag for his books he was starting to worry he was going to collapse right in the middle of class he recognised the build up, if he did surley kyo knew himself, usually with the bigger ones kyo would know before it happens but not always, he just hoped he got a warning this time, idiot, what is he trying to prove he should have stayed home.

Half way through class kyo was woke up with a start he slowly raised his head the first thing he seen was the ruler on his desk looking up he could see his teacher looming over him

"kyo! Seriously Pay attention, can you answer the question?"

he glanced around the room what question? he was so confused, ok he was in math class right? He glanced past the teacher trying to focus on the board trying to figure out what the teacher was asking of him, god he was so disorientated he couldn't make the board out at all, all of the symbols merging into one blur he heard laughter, wait, who was laughing quickly scanning the room again he could see his class mates snickering

"he hasn't a clue"

"wakey wakey sleeping beauty"

"what you dreaming of kyon",

"enough!" their teacher silenced the class,

oh right the teacher

"kyo" the teacher lowered her head speaking directly to him "are you feeling alright?"

was he feeling alright? No not at all he felt strange, his head hurt, his stomach was doing backflips and nothing was making sense

"kyo?"

oh yea the teacher what did she ask again? He gave her a small nod hoping this would get her to back off he didn't like having the attention on him she eyed him concerned before continuing again with the class, kyo looked around again still trying to get his barings everyone was now trained to the teacher following what she was saying, well everyone but tohru and yuki they were staying right at him concern written on their faces, whats the damn rat concerned about, maby shigure told him about this morning, shit this morning, that's what this feeling was, kyo took a deep breath trying to steady the panic building in his gut, tohru she would freak, she didn't know, god she would think he was dying or something. Taking another deep breath he tried to think of a plan god his brain was so jumbled though, if he could just hold out till the end of class then he could go and call hatori, leave early, tell tohru he has a fever or something right?, yea that will work he thought, just hold out, he glanced at the clock 20 minutes of class left.

It was 10 minutes later when kyo was washed over with a vertigo so intense he about slipped from his chair he gripped the desk trying to steady himself as a thick metallic taste crawled up his throat into his mouth, a feeling he was all to familiar with , he needed to leave, his stomach swooped as panic set over him, he looked around frenzied, I need to leave now he thought, kyo stood abruptly almost falling over as he did, everyone whipped their heads in his direction looking for the source of sudden noise in the quiet class

"kyo what are you?..." the teacher began asking only to be cut of by kyo

"I..I need to… I need…" he gave up trying to forge a false explanation instead darting from the class into the hallway he needed to leave now!

Yukis attention was flickering between the teacher and kyo he could see how disorientated he was after being woke, he flashed with anger when everyone began laughing the sudden surge of emotion caught him off guard. he whipped round to glare down his classmates, yea he didn't get along with kyo at all! but at the end of the day he was still family, and they had no idea. When kyo sprung out of his chair running from the room yuki instantly knew why. Yuki stood to follow kyo, quickly raising his hand "can i…"

"yes yes, go and check on your cousin" the teacher waved him off.

yuki grabbed kyos bag as he passed his desk, he had meds in there, one of the conditions of him attending school, hatori had ordered that he always keep rescue medication on him at all times just in case, although he'd never had to use them.

Toru was left tying her hands in knots under her desk worry written on her face and tears prickling at her eyes.
