Chapter
15: “Home Again Home Again”
Kyo
held her hand tightly waiting for her to wake up. It wasn’t unusual for some patients to be sleepy still after an
operation. They were able to wake her
up once to make sure the anesthesia hadn’t done anything to her system but she
fell back asleep on her way to her room where Kyo waited for her. He smiled and rubbed her hand at the sound
of her soft breaths and watching the rising and falling of her chest almost
unable to hide how blissful he felt.
They said she had two more days before she could go home. He knew the days would drag on the more he
thought about it but he couldn’t help it.
Tohru was worried about her studies but Yuki volunteered to help tutor
her.
If
it had been a half a year ago or even a few weeks ago he would have still been
suspicious. He would have never guessed
about the relationship between Yuki and Kagura. He didn’t see it as such an odd pairing, he just never really
thought about it. The thought actually
made him happy. It was a relief that he
didn’t have to keep his guard up around the rat anymore and that Kagura was
finally happy with someone. ‘I really
treated her badly all those years. I
just wanted her to understand I didn’t like her, even if I hurt her it at least
it wouldn’t hurt as badly as what would have happened if she continued
believing I loved her.’ But it had gone
that far. But she had found someone who
would love her the way she needed.
His
hand continued to stroke hers as he stared out the window at the birds on the
ledge. That nurse that Tohru liked to
talk to, Rei had brought a cat in earlier so Tohru would have some
company. Kyo was glad he wasn’t around
when she brought it or it would have probably been all over him. It wasn’t that he wasn’t fond of cats or
anything, he just could never see them as just cats like other people
could. They were something, just a bit
more…He felt a shiver go down his spine as Tohru’s small hand tightened softly
around his and he looked up to see her small eyes flutter open to meet
his.
“Ohayo,”
she whispered in a hoarse voice.
“Ohayo. How do you feel?”
“Ok,
little dry,” she said her voice still strained as she rubbed it.
“I’ll
get you some water be right back.” He
quickly went to the bathroom. She took
this time to gaze around the room and her eyes fell on the open window with the
remaining light filtering through before the sun would disappear completely
beyond the horizon. She was still very
groggy from the drugs and her throat was sore, probably from not really using
it for breathing in a while but it was nice to wake up to Kyo’s face watching
over her, her protector. He returned
with her water and she drank it thirstily and sighed in relief.
“Arigato,”
she said her voice a bit less strained.
“No
problem. So how do you feel? You know, overall.”
“A
little tired, but I’ll be ok in no time.”
He knew that look in her eyes, a look of determination, a look he often
admired, but not this time.
“I
told you don’t worry about school. The
teachers know you’re in the hospital and are willing to let you turn in your
work after winter break even though it’s a new semester and Yuki is going to
tutor you for exams. You have to get
better before you even start thinking about that.”
“But
it’ already into November and in another two weeks we’ll start reviewing. By the time I get back they’ll be in the
reviews.”
“Then
Yuki can catch you up at home on what you missed and by the time they get to
reviewing the new stuff you’ll be more familiar with it. Then you can work on your actually homework
over break. Now calm down, stress won’t
help you heal faster and it’s not good for the baby.”
“Huh,
how do you know that?” He blushed
feeling a little embarrassed.
“Uo,
she said something about keeping you calmer because stress can be bad for the
baby. Even though I don’t know where
she would have gotten it from.” Tohru
giggled.
“She
probably went out and bought a book about babies right after she found
out. She looks out for me all the time,
she’s already starting to look out for her new task.”
“Oh
well, at least we won’t have to worry about the baby with her around,” he said
with a faint blush.
“Kyo,
did you just compliment Uo-chan?” His
blush deepened.
“Well
I mean she’s just built like a body guard.
I mean she’s saved you with the denpa from the Yuki fan club god knows
how many times, I think she knows what she’s doing. Hey Tohru.”
“Yes?”
“The
denpa, she can sense people’s waves and tell things from them right?”
“Hai?”
“Do
you think she could, you know, know the sex of the baby, before the doctors you
know?”
“I
really don’t know, but I don’t think I want to know.”
“You
don’t?”
“No
not really. I really like surprises; I
think we should just wait. Unless of
course-“
“No,
no, I’m fine being surprised,” he said giving her a smile cutting her off
before he could get stressed out again.
“I’m
so happy,” she said hugging him, for the first time since she arrived at the
hospital she was able to fully hug him again.
‘I’ve missed this,’ she thought blissfully to herself. His arms quickly wrapped around her holding
her in a light embrace. ‘He’s so warm,
this feels so nice’. She felt her eyelids
drooping as she listened to the beating of his heart and was quickly lulled to
sleep. He wasn’t surprised when he felt
her breathing even out and set her back down in bed before tucking her in and
kissing her on the forehead.
“Sleep
tight, love,” he said before going over to his cot and falling asleep himself.
The two days Kyo thought were
going to drag on forever actually flew by pretty fast as he realized with Tohru
gone the house had gone back to a pig sty and he had to convince Yuki to help
him clean the house up. And after Yuki
had too many problems to count on the first day Kagura convinced the two of
them to let her help clean. They were
hesitant but she proved she had learned from her mistakes the first time she
tried this. They were actually still
finishing cleaning up some of the house the morning Tohru would be arriving
home. It was amazing how she had
recovered enough to leave after only a week.
Kyo wasn’t really sure about it until Hatori assured him that she was
indeed fit to go home but she’d be stuck at home for at least another week. The nurses said it was all the visitors she
had that kept her so strong.
‘At
least now she’ll be back home and I can watch over her there,’ thought Kyo as
he waited at the front of the school.
He had invited Tohru’s friends Uo and Hana to come with him today when
she would be released. They both
assumed Tohru has asked, and Kyo hadn’t let them think any differently, they
wouldn’t believe he asked them himself anyway.
“Hey
carrot top there you are, I didn’t even see you leave the classroom, thought
you were still there,” she said approaching him with the denpa close behind
her. “So, are we ready to go,” she
asked pointing the way to the hospital.
“Actually
we’re getting a ride,” he said and almost on queue Hatori showed up with Kagura
and Yuki in the backseat.
“That
was too damn creepy,” said Uo but got in the back along with Hana and Kyo
taking the front seat.
“Are
we all going to be able to fit in here on the ride home,” Uo asked as the four
of them sat in the back.
“Yeah
I’ll give my seat to Tohru,” said Kyo.
“Hello,”
said Kagura making herself known.
“Oh
hello, you’re one of the Sohma’s right, Yuki and Kyo’s cousin?”
“Hai,
I’m Kagura.”
“I’m
Uo,” she said waving to her.
“I’m
Hana,” the denpa said speaking up. “But
this is odd isn’t it?”
“What
do you mean,” asked Kagura.
“Weren’t
you the girl who came to school one day and beat Kyo up and said he was your
fiancé?” Everyone in the car sweat
dropped.
“Well
that was me like two years ago. And
anyway I’m dating Yuki now,” she said with a smile aimed at her prince. Hana and Uo looked like an atom bomb was
about to go off in front of them.
“You
two are together,” asked Hana tentively.
“Yes,
it’s been a secret for a while but recently we’ve gone public about it,” said
Yuki speaking up not a bit embarrassed.
“Sheesh
all these secrets, first Tohru and Kyo and now you two. To tell you the truth though Yuki you
should tell your fan club but don’t divulge her name.” Yuki sweat dropped and Kagura gave her a
confused look. “You may be tough, but
they’re tough, smart, crafty, have power, and are evil,” said Uo in an eerie
tone as she tried to make her point.
“Isn’t
that a bit dramatic,” asked Yuki.
“Isn’t
you’re fanclub?” He was about to
reply. “I’m sure that their special
dance and song in the morning for you must have taken a long time and practice
to get right.” He promptly shut
up. Uo would have continued but they
made it to the hospital and made their way to Tohru’s room. They arrived in time to see her sitting in
bed with an IV still in her but she was dressed.
“Oh
hey guys, Uo, Hana I didn’t know you were coming!” She looked ecstatic. Uo
and Hana both glanced back at Kyo but smiled and greeted Tohru.
“Of
course we’re here, we wanna make sure you’re ok.”
“Thank
you, everyone,” she said looking a bit teary eyed.
“Hey
don’t cry now, you gotta be less worrying, ne?”
“Hai,”
she said wiping her eyes. “We can go as
soon as this IV is done, it’s just some antibiotics and it’s almost done,” she
said looking over at the little plastic package that was almost drained. “How has school been,” she asked looking
over at her two school friends she hadn’t seen in the last few days.
“Pretty
boring, the prince Yuki fan club have been saying crap while you were gone but
I think Hana and I were able to keep them quiet.” Everyone in the room sweat dropped.
“I
can’t wait to go back. We only have a
half of a year left, ne?”
“That’s
right. We’re so close,” said Uo.
“But
don’t you start getting stressed out about grades. You don’t have to be a straight A student, all you have to do is
pass,” said Hana quietly.
“The
way you’re grades are going you’ll barely pass,” said Kyo. She gave him an evil eye but he shrugged it
off. Tohru giggled feeling happy that
her family was here.
Tohru
sighed as she lay back in her comfy bed.
After dropping Uo and Hana off Hatori had finally stopped of at
Shigure’s to drop everyone else off before going to pick someone else up. They had been told they now had a miko and a
person fluent in ancient Chinese kanji were trying to figure out this whole
curse thing which the others thought was a bit much but then again if the curse
could be broken. Yuki and Kagura had
sat down at the table while Kyo went to cook dinner but he made Tohru go back
up to bed because she was still a bit drowsy from the drugs and said he’d bring
dinner up to her.
She
felt a bit disappointed she couldn’t eat with Yuki and Kagura but as soon as
she laid down in her bed she couldn’t help but feel a bit drowsy. ‘So comfortable, so warm, so soft…’ She
slowly opened her eyes and gasped as she saw it was now dark outside. “What time is it?”
“8:30.” She spun around to face Kyo sitting on the
end of her bed leaning against the wall.
“Kyo-kun,
I’m soo sorry. I didn’t mean to fall
asleep-” She was cut off as his lips pressed to hers and she felt her body fall
back on the bed with his pressed tightly against it. His tongue licked along her lips asking for entrance, which she
easily gave. His tongue plunging into
her mouth, locking around her own tongue.
She moaned into his mouth. It
had been too long since she’d felt this.
But before they could go any farther Kyo pulled back and leaned against
the wall again, panting.
“Kyo,”
she called softly crawling up next to him and leaning in for another kiss but
he gave her a short one instead of the passion filled one they had exchanged
moments ago. “What’s wrong?”
“You
just got out of the hospital Tohru, you need to take it easy for a bit
still.” She looked up at him, her eyes
pleading. “I know you want it, so do I! But I’m not going to risk hurting you.” She put on a somewhat disappointed look but
it fell as her stomach growled rather loudly.
“Gomen!” He chuckled before getting to his feet.
“It’s
ok, I was expecting you to be hungry when you woke up, that’s why I waited for
you. I’ll go warm it up ok?” He gave her a soft peck on the forehead
before heading for the door. “Be right
back.” She sat there a second before
her mouth went to her lips where she could still feel the warm impression his
lips had left on her own. She pulled
the blanket up around her as a chill went through her body. ‘It really is becoming winter. But at least after winter, is spring,’ she
thought with a smile. It was then that
Kyo returned with a small plate of rice balls and some miso soup on a
tray.
“That
smells so good,” she said truthfully.
“Nah,
it’s nothing compared to yours, but it should be better than hospital food.”
He
sat it in front of her on the bed and she immediately devoured two of the four
rice balls before slowing down to take her soup slower.
“Wow,
this is really good,” she said smiling.
“You’re a really good cook too Kyo.”
He was going to argue again but decided against it since she needed to
just rest up. She had half of the soup
gone before going back to finish the rice ball and finally finishing the
soup. The whole time Tohru ate, Kyo was
sitting there sitting beside her, basking in her presence. The whole time they were away it was as if a
cloud had passed over the sun and taken away his light. Now it was as if the sun shone only for him
and he smiled.
He
was snapped out of his reverie as she thanked him again for dinner. He nodded and took the dishes back
downstairs to rinse out before returning to her room to see her lying down in
bed already. He was about to leave the
room when he heard her small voice call out, “Kyo.”
“Hai?” She turned to face him just looking up at
him. He came closer on sat on the bed
beside her. “What’s wrong Tohru,” he
asked as tears started forming in the corners of her eyes.
“I’m
not sad,” she said with a small smile creeping across her face. “I’m just so happy. I missed you so much, I missed home, and my
family, and being able to be alone with you.”
He smiled and took her in his arms feeling her tears dampen his
shirt.
“I
know, I feel the same way. I’m just
glad we’re finally getting back to normal.”
“Hai,”
she said feeling herself get drowsy again.
He felt her body growing limp in his arms and sat her back in bed and
tucked her in before kissing her forehead and saying goodnight. He got up to leave but she stopped him.
“Kyo
kun, could you…could you stay here with me tonight? Please?” He wasn’t sure
what he should do. He could stay with
her and he might get caught, but then again would it really matter? He shook his head and walked over to crawl
in beside her. “Goodnight, love.” She lay on her back her head tilted towards
his.
“Goodnight
love,” he whispered back giving her a soft kiss on the lips before sleep took
her. He draped his left arm over her
waist and leaned his head towards hers next to her own.
