Blood Drive: Aftermath

"How is she, doc?" Yoshiki Kishinuma had asked the doctor, whom had just emerged from the room that the class rep had been in since we had brought her to the hospital.

"She is in a vegetative state right now, Mr. Kishinuma." The doctor had replied.

"What's a vegetative state?" Satoshi Mochida asked while petting the head of his younger sister Yuka, whom had fallen asleep in his lap.

"Ms. Shinozaki is comatosed, which means she is in a state of unconsciousness, and cannot be woken up for the time being. She is unaware of her surroundings and fails to feel, speak, hear, or move. For a person to maintain consciousness, two parts of the brain must be fully functional, which would be the cerebral cortex and a structure located in the brainstem called reticular activating system or RAS. In her case, she has put so much pressure on the cerebral cortex of her brain that it has reduced her to this state. You carried her here just in time." The doctor said.

I could see the worry on Kishinuma's face. He really did care for the class rep. More than he cared to admit. Back inside that god-awful, nightmarish elementary school known as Heavenly Host, he had confessed to me that he was in love with her. I thought it was really sweet of him to be crushing on Shinozaki for so long like that, but she had the biggest crush on Satoshi, so Kishinuma had decided to let it go.

These last couple of months had really taken a toll on me. Our first trip to Heavenly Host had traumatized me so much...so many corpses of innocent people decaying before my very eyes...and Seiko...oh god Seiko...

I felt tears forming in the corners of my eyes as I turned to see Seiko sitting in one of the waiting room chairs, her elbow propped up on the windowsill with her head resting on her hand. Gazing out of the window the way she was, she had to have been in deep thought. It wasn't like her to be quiet.

Seiko...

I had murdered her, and I wasn't in my right mind when I had done it. Everything about that horrible place had got to me, and I went blank. Next thing I know, I open the third from left stall of the girl's lavatory, and I'm greeted with the horrific sight of the most important thing in my life hanging by a noose. She attempted to call out my name, but her low oxygen levels prevented her from doing so. I panicked on the spot, and by doing so, I didn't have enough time to save her life. Her lifeless body swung back and forth, as if it were mocking me. I remember screaming at the top of my lungs and spilling my tears.

And even after all of the things I said to her and did to her, she still forgave me. I didn't deserve her forgiveness at all. I was the one that should've died in there, not her. Seiko did nothing to deserve that hell. She had saved me from being taken over by the Darkening for the second time. The "No Hard Feelings" text had lit up my phone. Everytime I had bad thoughts and doubts of Seiko's death, I would be greeted with the same text: No Hard Feelings.

It was then that I had realized she had been with me the entire time even after her death. She was watching over me.

We escaped Heavenly Host, but we hadn't escaped the painful memories. They would be etched inside our heads until the day we die. But, the worst part would have to had been when no one remembered the ones who had lost their lives inside the cursed school. No one remembered Sakaturo Morishige, Mayu Suzomoto was long forgotten, Ms. Yui never taught at Kirisagi, and Seiko was just my imaginary friend. Everyone was wrong. Seiko did exist. Not one pill that the doctors prescribed to me could never make me forget her.

Two months had passed, and I was still grieving over Seiko and the rest of our friends. The class rep had caught me staring at Seiko's house after school one day, and she talked of investigating the Shinozaki estate that once belonged to Yoshie and Sachiko Shinozaki. That's when our second adventure started. Everything would be changed...again.

"What are you gonna do with her?" Ms. Yui asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"We will be assessing the severity of the coma by using the Glasgow coma scale, and we will be recording her brain activity. We may take a few blood samples as well, and maybe check her calcium, potassium, and other elemental compounds of the body. Ms. Shinozaki will be here for quite a while, but rest assured she's in good hands." The doctor gave a warm smile.

"What should we do until then?" Suzomoto had inquired, keeping a tight grip on the arm of Morishige.

"Go home and get some sleep. All of you. No disrespect intended, but you all look like you've seen better days." The doctor replied.

He was right. We were all tired from our second trip into Heavenly Host, and little Yuka was already fast asleep.

"How is your eye, Ms. Nakashima?" He and everyone else had turned their attention to me.

"Huh? Oh, it's..." I trailed off. "Not doing too good."

I touched the medical eye patch that he had given me during an earlier visit here. I guess the spells that Ayumi performed had affected the both of us, but it was a price to be paid.

"You'll just have to adjust to it. You will in due time," The doctor gave another warm smile. "How about the arm?"

I had cut my arm really deep when we were in Heavenly Host. Seiko had patched it up the best she could, but it needed to be stitched back together by a professional. So, while the class rep was getting admitted into a room by the staff, I was in the E.R. getting sewn up.

"Feels a little better." I said.

"That's good to hear. Now, go home all of you." said the doctor, starting down the hall.

"I'm staying with Shinozaki," Kishinuma crossed his arms at his chest. That was always the thing about him: When his mind was made up, you couldn't persuade him to change it.

"Yoshiki, you need rest," Ms. Yui put her hand on his shoulder.

"I can't rest if Shinozaki is in trouble," He said with concern and determination in his voice.

"Kishinuma, you need to sleep," Satoshi added. "We all do. We can all come see her in the morn-"

"No, Satoshi," Kishinuma interrupted calmly. "I'm staying here with her. She needs me, Mochida, just like I need her. Things between us have changed, and it's all the more reason to stay."

"What do you mean things have changed?" Satoshi questioned.

Kishinuma seemed hesitant to talk, then finally he spit it out. "She kissed me."

"What?!" I half shouted stumbling out of the seat I was sitting in.

Everyone looked equally shocked, except for Seiko, who had turned her attention away from the window to give the delinquent a "I knew you liked her!" smirk.

"When?" I asked, stumbling my way up to Kishinuma and putting my hands on his shoulders.

"Back in Heavenly Host, I confessed to her like you said I should, and she told me she had felt some feelings for me but she had no idea if they were positive or negative at the time." The blonde boy stated.

"That's great, Yoshiki!" I exclaimed, hugging him.

"I know." He hugged me back then when he realized that everyone in the waiting room was looking at us like we each had three ears, he quickly let go and ran a hand through his hair.

I knew Kishinuma was lying when he said he was just gonna let her go.

"That's so sweet!" Suzomoto had spoken up, causing Yoshiki to blush a bright red.

"Yeah, sure," Kishinuma casually said, then turned his attention to the doctor, who was discussing the class rep's stats with Ms. Yui. "Do you have an extra cot or a futon that I can sleep on tonight?"

"Yes we do, Mr. Kishinuma. Would you like me to get a nurse to prepare one for you?"

"Yes, please."

The doctor was on his way down the hall when Ms. Yui called back after him. "Make that two, doctor!"

The doctor nodded and continued his way down the hall.

"Ms. Yui?" Kishinuma asked.

"Well, you can't stay here by yourself, and I can't rest either knowing that one of my students is in trouble. Plus, I'm pretty sure Monet will be okay at home." Ms. Yui replied.

Kishinuma sighed, but nodded his head. "Okay then."

"Come on, Mayu. I'll walk you home," Morishige spoke, breaking the death grip that Suzomoto had on his arm. "We have things that we need to talk about."

"What kinds of things, Shig?" Mayu inquired, looking up at Morishige with what he considered "those beautiful green eyes".

"Us." He stated.

Mayu smiled along with the red tint that appeared on her face.

"Kishinuma? Ms. Yui? If you need anything, feel free to contact me right away." Morishige held up his phone.

Mayu grappled Morishige's arm in another death grip once again, and they disappeared down the hall.

"We need to be getting home, too." Satoshi stood up out of his chair with Yuka in his arms. The motion startled the girl, which caused her to snuggle into her older brother's neck.

I noticed the somewhat sad look in his eyes. I knew my decision had affected him greatly, but I knew Satoshi. He wouldn't let it upset him that much.

"Satoshi?" I asked.

"What's up, Naomi?" He replied.

"Are you gonna be okay?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine. What about you?"

I looked over at Seiko. She was staring right at me. She knew what my decision had been, too.

"Yeah, I'm okay," I broke my gaze from Seiko and looked up at Satoshi. "I'm sorry."

He raised an eyebrow. "What for? You haven't done anything wrong, Naomi. You were only following your heart."

"Yeah..." I looked over at Seiko again and smiled. "I was."

"Well, I'd best be getting this one home," He said. indicating to the sleeping Yuka. "I'll see you at school, Naomi. Goodbye, Ms. Yui. Later, Yoshiki."

"Be careful, Satoshi." Ms. Yui said.

"Later, man." said Yoshiki.

"See you, Satoshi." I quietly said as I watched him walk away.

He completely understood why I didn't choose him. He knew my heart didn't belong to him. It took a long time for me to realize it, but...my heart belonged to Seiko.

"Will you two be okay here?" I turned my attention to Kishinuma and Ms. Yui.

"We'll be fine, Nakashima. You and Shinohara need to go home and rest." Ms. Yui comfortingly told me.

"Can you call us in the morning? We're all worried about Ayumi." I asked Kishinuma.

The blonde boy nodded his head once.

"Thank you both. Let's go home, Seiko."

Seiko nodded her head and stood up, following me to the door.

"Oh, and Kishinuma?" I peered behind my shoulder at him.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

He seemed confused at what I was thanking him for, then he smiled in realization.

"And thank you, Nakashima."

I smiled and disappeared out the door with Seiko.
