Okay, I'm back with a new story XD.... hope you guys will enjoy this one.
...
The door of was being pounded on impatiently.
Twenty-two-year-old Karin Kurosaki flipped over in her bed to glance at the alarm clock that sat on her bedside table. It was exactly 5:00 pm. There was still an hour until her clock should have woke her.
The knocking on the door continued, growing louder and more impatiently by the moment.
Karin rubbed her eyes, got up, and walked to the door.
'Who would come here this early?' She thought as she opened the door with a yawn.
The stern woman that stood before her had strict posture that showed she meant business.
"Can I help you?" Karin asked as politely as possible. She was trying to not get angry.
"Are you Miss Karin Kurosaki?" The woman asked briskly.
"Yes, I am."
"I have an important letter for you."
Karin took the letter and read it quickly, more awake now. She looked confused.
"Wait, this is impossible," She said, finishing the letter "I'm not due at Karakura Hospital for another week."
"Madam, I'm here only to deliver the message to you, I'm not at liberty to discuss it."
"Well," Karin sighed and pushed a strand of hair behind her ears. "I guess I will have to see my sister and let her know first."
"But I need an immediate answer, Miss Karin." The woman said, her posture was still the same.
"Okay," Karin sighed, rolled her eyes, and looked at the letter again. "I will come right in then."
...
Matsumoto Rangiku ran to the front desk of Karakura Hospital.
"I'm here for Toushiro Hitsugaya!" She screeched at the black haired receptionist.
The woman eyed Matsumoto for a moment as if she was some sort of escaped mental patient before checking her records.
"Mr. Toushiro Hitsugaya is on the fourth floor, room 14."
With that, Matsumoto broke into a run for the lift, barely making it before the doors closed. When it reached the fourth floor, she dashed out into the hall and began checking the room number of each door she passed. And she found it at the end of the hall: Room 14, Toushiro Hitsugaya.
She tried to open the door but it was locked. Through the door's tiny window, she could see two female doctors observing the patient lying on the bed. So she fell onto the chair in the lobby and wiped her tears with her sweater sleeve.
"Is he going to be okay?" She jumped as soon as she saw two figures emerging from the room.
"I'm sorry, but who are you?" One of the doctors asked, lowering her glasses to observe Matsumoto.
"I'm his step sister" She said, trying to wipe another tear from her face. "How is he?"
"He is still in critical condition." The doctor sighed.
"Will.. will..he live?" Matsumoto gasped, clasping her hand over her mouth.
"Of course his chances of living are slim at the moment dear. For now we just have to wait for Dr. Mitsuwa to see him. He is the specialist. Do you know what happen to Mr. Hitsugaya?"
"I don't know."
...
Karin approached the nurse's station at 7:00 am. outside the reception area. She had her own locker with her white uniform. She wasn't allowed her own personal equipment yet as only a volunteer at the hospital.
Another nurse came in casually and started to stuff her locker with her white uniform.
"Long night?" Karin asked, doing the opposite and smiling at her.
"Yep," The woman sighed. "Around midnight there was a seven year old that kept screaming his lungs out from a bite he had, then there as a woman who suffered from an accident. And I just come out of observing some patient that was in an accident last night, he's still here."
"What's wrong with him?" Karin asked as she fiddled with her volunteer badge.
"I don't know," The woman told Karin. "I just got off my shift when the next doctor came in his room. I don't even know if they figured out what happened to him yet. But I'm glad the night is over and the day is mine."
"Oh,"
"You have a good one." The woman tossed her jacket over her shoulder and headed for the doors.
"You too." Karin called after her. She smiled and headed up for the lift to find out where she was needed.
...
"Toushiro?" Matsumoto held the white haired boy's hand in hers. "Can you hear me?"
"I'm not deaf!" The man kept his eyes closed, but responded in a disgusted tone. "You have asked me for the fifth time."
"I'm sorry Toushiro." She pouted her lips apologetically.
Toushiro opened his eyes and Matsumoto felt a tear roll down her cheek.
"Toushiro?" She asked nervously.
Toushiro blinked his eyes several times, and slipped his hand from Matsumoto's to rub at his eyes.
"Matsumoto?" He asked a bit startled.
"Yes, Toushiro?" Matsumoto grabbed for his hand once more but he yanked free.
"I can't see! I can't see!" He yelled. He was frightened now, squirming in his bed and stretching his hands in front of him mindlessly.
Matsumoto dropped her face into her hands, sobbing loudly.
A nurse came in at once, grasping the crying Matsumoto's arm, pulling her out of the room where Toushiro was still yelling fearfully.
"Please sir, don't move like that." A forty-year-old nurse came in and tried to calm Touhsiro down. She tried to reach his arms and barely missed a fist in the face.
...
Karin got off at the second floor first to see if there was anything she could help with there. Everyone had everything under control on the floor, so she headed back to the lift and went up to the third floor. Everything was also okay. Finally she ascended to the fourth floor. She barely stood on the floor when two nurses passed by her. They were talking in whispers, and occasionally gasping and swearing. One forth-year-old nurse walked pass her. She had a bruised lip and a nasty gash beneath her mouth. She looked like she wanted to beat someone as she swore under her breath.
"Miss Kurosaki!" A woman's voice exclaimed. "We have been looking all over for you my dear."
"Really?" Karin asked. "What is it that I can assist you with?"
A female doctor pulled her to the side, her hand on Karin's shoulder.
"Listen my dear, we had a patient come in last night. Well, he was brought in. There has been in some sort of accident and this poor man has lost his vision."
Karin gasped and looked at the doctor.
"Now we know that his sight lose is temporary, but the thing is that we don't know how long temporary may be. It could be weeks or months, even years before he can see again."
"What can I do to help?"
"We need to assign him a personal nurse so he can learn how to learn," The doctor replied. "I mean everyday things. You know, just learn how to take care of himself. We hope that you would be his personal nurse, Karin. I'm counting on you to help us, there is no one else that can do it right now."
Karin produced a huge smile. To help someone who was suffering, she would definitely never give up such opportunity.
"Of course, I will do it." She said proudly.
...
Oh...I guess I don't have anything to say right now. Please review, I haven't been writing anything here for so long, just want to know what do you think about this one. :)
