I up with another fic. I don't know how long this would take like my other story.
So... I hope you guys would like this one!
"Kazemaru... When are you planning to wake up?" A certain brown haired boy said as he looked at his friend lying on the hospital bed,
unconscious for 3 days already. "You're worrying me... you're making everyone worried."
The only response he got was the beeping of the heart monitor. And the shallow breathing of his friend.
Kazemaru Ichirouta fell in a bad state of unconsciousness after he received the full impact of Kageyama's evil plans. Everything happened
too fast.
They were about to battle a team which Kageyama created when an explosion happened. It happened as soon as the whistle was blew.
The explosion happened on the Raimon territory, reminding some of the players what happened when they fought Teikoku during the
Football Frontier.
It was as dusty as that time, but everyone was thrown aside. As the clouds of dust started to faded gently, the first thing that they heard
was Endou's voice.
"Are you alright, everyone?" Endou said with panic in his voice.
"Aa." Everyone chorused as they tried to get up.
They had some bruises and cuts. Mido's foot was a little painful and with Hiroto's help, both of them found out that he had a sprain.
Sakuma landed quite badly and had his arm injured. He was a little afraid to move, but with Kidou's comforting words, he gently stood up
and both of them had to find their way to their bench where the managers and Coach Hibiki was.
The cloud of dust was still thick, though it was not as thick as a while ago.
"Minna!" Aki's voice was suddenly heard. "I-I have to do a role call. Is t-that ok with you?"
"Aa." Everyone agreed in unison.
"Endou-kun?" Aki said, worry can be traced in her voice.
"Here." Endou's voice was heard from the right side from where she was.
"Kidou?" Aki said.
"Here," Kidou said as he appeared with a scared Sakuma. Haruna reached for the first aid-kit and went to Sakuma to tend his injury. Aki
put a check mark beside Kidou's name and Sakuma's name.
"Hiroto?" Aki said.
"Here," Hiroto said as he appeared from the clouds of dust with a blushing Mido on his arms. Since Mido couldn't walk from where they
were a while ago, Hiroto decided to carry Mido despite the green-haired boy's protests. Fuyuppe was the one who tended to Mido.
"Tsunami?" Aki said.
"Here!" Tsunami's voice came from an unknown place behind the dust.
"Fudou?" Aki said.
"Here." Fudou's bored and annoyed voice said.
"Fubuki?" Aki said.
"I'm here." Fubuki's gentle yet fear-covered voice said.
"Gouenji?" Aki said.
"I'm here." Gouenji said as he hugged Fubuki, thankful that Fubuki was fine. Fubuki blushed, surprised by the sudden hug he got from the
flame-striker and thankful at the same time that Gouenji was fine.
"Handa?" Aki said.
"Here..." Handa said with worry in his voice as he walked around trying to find someone, despite the fact he can't clearly see where he was
going.
"Kazemaru?" Aki said.
No response. Everyone froze at that. Why didn't Kazemaru respond?
"K-K-Kazemaru?" Aki repeated, this time her voice was failing.
Still, it was quiet.
Handa continued to walk around with fear kept on growing inside him. When Kazemaru didn't respond after Aki mentioned his name, Handa
became scared. Handa was about to take another step when he suddenly tripped onto something. Wait... someone...
Handa gently pulled the 'someone' he tripped onto closer to him, until he realized who it was. He ran his hand to the person's head and felt
a familiar soft and silky hair that was tied up in a ponytail. He also felt a warm and sticky liquid gently flowing from the hair. Blood.
The dust soon faded and Handa could see Kazemaru clearly.
"Kazemaru..." Handa said gently as soon as he saw the tealnet's eyes were still open, except those eyes looked dazed. "Kazemaru,"
Handa gently shook him. Handa saw the blood on the tealnet's forehead. So this was where the blood came from while he was touching the
boy's head. The blood successfully colored the teal hair with a sickly red color.
Kazemaru didn't seem to hear him. Or maybe he did, because after a few minutes he looked up and stared at Handa's brown chocolate-
brown eyes. But everything was blurry as the world around him was spinning. He opened his mouth to talk but he only managed to say the
word "Handa..." before his eyes were gently shutting.
"Kazemaru," Handa said with a pleading tone. Kazemaru tried to fight the 'sleepy' feeling that was taking over him and tried to stare at
Handa's eyes. "Please... try to stay awake."
Kazemaru gave a very weak nod. His head was now pounding.
"Help..." Handa's first attempt was more like a murmur until he was able to shout. "Help!"
Everyone turned to the source of the voice and saw Handa kneeling on the ground with Kazemaru on his lap. "Kazemaru!" Everyone said as
they rushed to Handa and Kazemaru (except for Mido and Sakuma who were injured, Fuyuppe, Aki and Haruna who was tending to them,
Hiroto and Kidou who was with them. But they were as worried as everyone else.)
"Kazemaru," Endou said as he touched the dazed tealnet on the cheeks, scared. What scared them more was when a sudden trail of
blood flow down Kazemaru's mouth.
"Endou, Handa. We have to bring him to the hospital!" Gouenji said, alarmed by the situation.
Handa suddenly shot up while carrying Kazemaru on his arms as he ran to the Inazuma Caravan. The others followed.
They were in the middle of the way when Endou's voice (he's sitting beside Handa who had Kazemaru on his lap) suddenly went higher in
fear.
"Kazemaru...!" Endou said as he gently shook the tealnet, who just lost consciousness, by the shoulders.
Handa gripped Kazemaru as if Kazemaru would disappear any second. 'Hang on, Kazemaru. We're almost there...' Handa thought.
As soon as they reached the hospital, Kazemaru was sent to the operating room immediately.
Everyone desperately waited at the waiting area which was outside the operating room.
"What happened...? Why did he end up like that...?" Handa said in a whisper. The only ones who heard it was Gouenji and Fubuki, who
were sitting beside him at that time.
Gouenji placed a comforting hand on Handa's shoulder and patted him a few times. Fubuki looked at Gouenji with worry in his face. Gouenji
looked at Fubuki too, and Fubuki nodded at him.
"Kazemaru's... going to be fine, Handa." Gouenji said with a comforting and an encouraging tone. "He's strong."
Handa seem to relax a little, but it didn't made him stop looking at the doors of the operating room every 10 minutes.
Mido and Sakuma were taken to a room for a while. Their injuries were needed to be attended carefully. Hiroto and Kidou went with them to
lessen their fears. But their fears for their friend didn't subside along with the fears they got from their injuries. It's not like they weren't used
to injuries, they were just shocked from the explosion followed by a sudden pain.
After a painful 4 hours, the doors of the operating room opened. 3 nurses were gently pushing Kazemaru out of the operating room before
pushing him to his private room.
They got a quick glance of their friend. Kazemaru's forehead was covered with bandages which had a little faint stain of blood. There were
also some cuts and bruises which they didn't notice a while ago due to fear.
The doctor was the last one to come out.
"Sensei," Endou said as he approached the doctor.
"I supposed that you're the captain of the Raimon soccer team?" The doctor said.
"Hai." Endou said seriously.
"Well... Kazemaru-san..." The doctor started though he doesn't really know what to tell the soccer players who were giving him a mix of
pleading and worried look. "Kazemaru-san fell in a bad state of consciousness. It's not a coma, mind you. His brain's wave patterns were
very different from those who fell in a coma. However, due to his current wave patterns, we cannot predict what could possibly happen.
Having full-amnesia is at the bottom on the list, so is being blind, deaf or paralyzed. But having a partial amnesia is one of the things that
would be possible. Also, we cannot predict when he could wake up. It could take weeks, months or even years. He also experienced an
internal bleeding. He also lost some blood quite badly, though we shouldn't worry on that. On top of it, we don't know if he's going to be fine
or not. But he responded to the medications that were given to him during the operation after a few minutes he was given."
Everyone paled.
"I'm sorry. This is all we could do. The rest is up to him." The doctor said as he left them to attend another patient.
The doctor's words were too heavy for it to sink easily in their minds.
Bad state of unconsciousness? Partial-amnesia? weeks, months or even years? Different brain wave patterns?
...
...
What would happen to Kazemaru?
Handa clutched his head in anger. He wanted to make Kageyama pay. He was sure the others wanted too, but no one understands what
feelings he was going through now. It annoys him to death when they say they do, but he knows that they don't know half of it.
Handa looked at Kazemaru's face. His anger slowly melted away, but every time he remembers what happened, this anger comes back.
No one had heard Kazemaru's voice for days. No one had seen Kazemaru's amber-brown eyes for days. No one had seen Kazemaru's
beautiful smiles for days.
All they see is... Kazemaru's limp and unmoving figure. His angelic face which is covered in bruises and cuts. Eyelids which are tightly
shut, covering the amber-brown eyes and which may not open for a long time. Kazemaru's face looks so calm and void from any emotion,
though everyone knows that the tealnet is suffering the pain inside.
Endou, Max, Fubuki, Gouenji, Hiroto, Mido, Kidou and Sakuma visited the tealnet that evening and found a sleeping Handa on the chair
while his hand what clutching the hand of Kazemaru.
Hiroto and Mido placed a new and fresh bouquet of flowers on the vase, throwing the old and slightly withered ones in the process.
Max placed a blanket on Handa's back so the brunnet won't catch colds later.
But all of them looked at Kazemaru and half-expected for him to wake up any minute.
But sadly... no... The tealnet was the same like the past 3 days.
And... even if it's hard... they have to play soccer without him. To live without him by their side.
But, everyone was hopeful that he would wake up... soon...
I guess this is where I would end first...
