Hey y'all! This is one of the new fics im working on, hope you like it!
Prologue:
Yuki stood by her bed, holding her hand, listening to the steady beeping of the machine that was positioned next to him. It hurt him deeply to see her like this, without her warm smile and caring laugh, this wasn't her, she shouldn't ever have to be like this.
He choked back tears as memories of that day came flooding in. Why? Why hadn't he been there to help her? Why had he left her alone with him?
He remembered sitting with Haru on the front steps of his cousin's house after sneaking in. They had been talking about him and the student council, when the main house had gone into frenzy. There were groups of people going in and out, with nervous whispering and other loud shouts. And, in the middle of everything, they saw Hatori, in a white lab coat and carrying his medical bag, walking as fast as they had ever seen him walk, go into the main house.
They had sat there, on the steps, running through the worst-case scenarios in their heads and too shocked to go find out what had happened.
Then, they had seen… her. She had been laid out unconscious on a stretcher and was being carried by servants, with Hatori following them, looking very worried.
Finally, Shigure had come out of the main house and had stopped to stand on the stone path; he had looked uncharacteristically worried and upset.
They had rushed over to him and began blurting out thousands of questions, anything that came into their heads. But Shigure hadn't said a word, he had just stood there, silently.
Haru had begged him to answer, and finally he had. Shigure had turned towards them, and had told them what had happened, his face a mask.
She had come to visit Akito, to talk about something, but Akito had been in a very bad mood lately, and when she had supposedly spoken out of turn, he had attacked her, injuring her terribly.
A sudden change in the beeping brought him back to the present. The steady beeping had now changed to a fast, irregular beeping that was much faster then before.
"No, no!" He looked down at her in panic, and squeezed her hand, which he realized was colder then it had been a few minutes before.
"Miss Honda, Miss Honda! Tohru, please!" He called out in desperation. "Tohru, no, don't leave me. Tohru."
He briefly let go of her hand to wipe away the tears that were flowing down his face, away. Then he looked up around the room, what could he do to help? Was there anything? There had to be.
A thought came to him, where were the nurses who were supposed to be watching her? He rushed out into the hall and grabbed the first nurse he saw. "Please, it's Tohru, she," but his throat welled up with tears and he couldn't go on.
The nurse nodded and patted him on the shoulder. "I'll be right back." Then she went away.
He went back into the room and right to her side. Taking her hand again, he whispered, "Its alright Tohru. Just hang in there; everything's going to be okay." But doubt registered in his mind.
"Excuse me sir, but you're going to have to leave." The nurse was back, and she had brought more nurses, and a doctor.
"What? No, I," He protested, but was gently but forcibly led out of the room. The door shut with a final 'click' and he was shut off from her.
Without a word, he walked over to his seat, picked up his bag, and left the hospital, the Sohma's and everything he had, behind.
