Just so you don't get confused:
This is normal text and this is when Ritsu is thinking.
Disclaimer: I do not own K-on! or any of it's characters, only the plot is mine.
Okay, so this is my very first fanfic, and it's about Mitsu so yea... umm hope you enjoy it? XDD
"Ritsu! Ritsu!" I faintly heard several voices reaching my ears as my weakened eyes were slowly opening.
" hmm." It was a simple hum but it was all I could answer as it was too hard for me to speak. For some reason I felt weak.
I saw white light pierce my eyes and four silhouettes standing beside me with two on each side. Before I could analyze the situation I felt someone's body collide with my own, so soft...
" Ritsu! Thank god your okay." Tears started overflowing in the girl's eyes as she threw herself on me.
My eyes became clearer in seconds, the images puzzled together.
Ah yes, I remember this blue scenery... this world. These words came in mind as I glanced through the window. I slowly turned my head towards the soft hands embracing me and the silky black hair lying all over my chest.
" Mio.." I whispered.
The girl pulled out her face from my beating chest and started to stare innocently, as if waiting for a miracle. Her tears slowly dripped down her cheeks towards my face while she started to open her mouth to say something, but soon after bit her lip, forcing herself to withhold speaking.
I gently shook my head to snap out off my current state and asked everyone as I took a look around the room I was in. " Where.. am.. I?" I asked hesitantly.
The room was engulfed with silence for a few seconds, that short moment made my body feel so heavy to the point where my breathing became faster.
This time Mugi spoke out but gently, she took her time, this pace of speech killed me. "You're in the hospital Ritsu. For the past month you were in a coma... and we weren't sure you would wake up anymore," she took a big breathe to insure she could continue without stopping in-between. " You were in a terrifying car accident and you lost a lot of blood, fortunately you survived and you don't have any vital injuries...except," she failed at her previous attempt so she took another breathe trying not to break apart, "you're right arm is paralyzed." My eyes bulged out, I was surprised at the thought but not as surprised as when I tried to move it.
It didn't move.
I started to laugh and cry at the same time. I was suffocating. Going hysterical.
I couldn't breathe.
My head was spinning. The room was filled with echoes from my yelling. Everyone stared painfully, but I didn't pay attention. No, not to the tearful faces of Yui and Mugi and not to the turned back of Azusa. I only felt my own sorrow, my heart beat drastically and Mio's soft arms wrapped around my neck, tightly, so I wouldn't escape. She tried to calm me down, like an animal gone on a rampage. She tried to tame me.
I don't know what happened next. It was all black before I could understand anything, anymore.
I could feel my entire body laying still. When I reopened my eyes I tried to believe it was all a dream... it wasn't. I couldn't go against reality, it already held my life in it's hands, firmly. I was too late, too careless.
I slightly heard rustling noises beside me. I dragged my head to its direction without moving my body. There was a middle aged woman in a white coat sitting on a wooden chair, she was looking down at me with a smiling face. I knew she was trying to calm the atmosphere around us since she was used to this by now... to this painful feeling from her patients.
" Ritsu-kun," she began trying to get my attention, " I believe you understand you're situation right now, I would like to discuss it with you some more."
As I glanced around the room, my eyes searching for my friends, no one was there except for me and the brown haired woman. " Where are they?"
The woman looked at me confused at first. " Oh you mean you're friends?" realising she continued with a smile, " They're outside so don't worry, I just wanted to chat with you right now."
I could feel her eyes sparkling at me, and so I couldn't help but make a small remark. "You're weird."
At first she looked surprised but without a doubt she smiled again. "Oh you noticed, hohoho." She slightly chuckled with an expression showing interest. Nothing can crack this lady.
As if snapping back to reality I asked impatiently, "Tell me doctor, what did you want to talk about."
Catching up to my serious tone she began. " To start with, before you got to the hospital you had already lost a lot of blood especially from your right arm, unfortunately the place your arm got deeply cut in by the car was in an artery. This artery is called the brachioradialis artery, it flexes the forearm at the elbow down to your wrist. Since we were too late to repair the damage, your lower half of the arm got paralyzed - your lucky your legs didn't get paralyzed as well. But we reanalyzed you're situation much more carefully this time around, and concluded that it could be able to move again, with some treatment."
I sighed in relief, letting out all my frustration, my heart thumped in hope at the last words. But how can a car cut my arm so deeply? I shook it off though, as I was too happy and didn't want to think about it.
She looked at me more at ease and continued, " The treatment will presumably hurt, so I want to be sure your ready for this."
" Of course! It's better than staying with a paralyzed arm, anything is!" I waved my left hand in the air as I raised my voice. After hearing her say there was still a possibility I didn't care what I had to do.
She smiled again. "Well than, since you confirm, we shall begin your transfer to Indiana."
My wide grin turned upside down and my heart skipped a beat. "Indiana?" I repeated, my voice going hoarse.
" Ah yes, they offer a unique treatment for injuries, such as for your arm right here," she pointed towards it. " And it's only for a year." She added to calm me down.
" Ah, but can't we just do the treatment in Japan!" I exclaimed.
" I guess you don't want to be healed than?" she sighed, slightly annoyed. "We wouldn't send you their for no reason, Ritsu-kun, just trust us."
I didn't want to just end it off like this, but what choice did I have? I just slowly nodded, giving her my confirmation. But, I slightly wondered, who else knew about my transfer?
As if reading my thoughts the doctor reassured me, " I am merely allowed to tell your parents, Ritsu-kun, anybody else in your life is out off my business."
I sighed in relief... At least I'll be able to tell them personally.
" Well, I'll be leaving now, Ritsu-kun."
Ignoring her I quickly asked, " How long will I be in this shitty hospital?"
She didn't mind my language and calmly answered while closing the door behind her, "Two more weeks."
It wasn't long enough as the four came back to my room, but this time accompanied with my parents and Satoshi.
"Ricchan!" My mom suffocated me while squeezing my neck with all her force." Are you alright, you feel better?" she asked while scanning her eyes throughout my body, "We heard what the doctor said, you agreed to the decision, right?" the speed she was talking with was unbelievable, how she was able to fit it all in one sentence was beyond me. My mom took an unexpected pause as if given me time to speak, but soon after continued, "Satoshi, you father and myself will go with you so you needn't worry."
" Yeah, sis! So don't worry." Satoshi yelled out, trying to calm me down.
I sighed, knowing this wasn't going well as my friends were already given me confused looks.
Ahhhhh! Why can't they let me rest, The doctor didn't even have a chance to step away and now it's one problem after another. My mind was going insane.
I took a big breathe and smiled, scratching the back of my head with my good hand. " It's fine, you don't need to come it's only for a year." I raised my voice at the last four words as I stared at my friends, I tried to make a vivid point that it's not that long.
" Ricchan are you alright?" Yui looked at me while leaning her head sideways in confusion.
Of course I'm not, I got in a freaking car accident, got a paralyzed arm, a crazy doctor telling me to transfer to Indiana for a year, and now I'm shouting out in the middle of a sentence making myself look like a maniac. My eyebrow twitched, but I looked at them with a smiling face afterwards.
" What do you mean one year?" Mio popped out from behind the crowd. She seemed worried.
I continued to pull off a grin. "Hahaha... yeah, well a year. That is to say twelve months, 52 weeks, ughh," I continued counting my fingers, " 365 days..." I kept dragging on the time.
Mio began to shoot daggers at me with her glare - boy that gave me the shivers. Without a second to spare Mio yelled, " I don't mean that!" She gave me time to answer again, but I didn't dare to. With a much calming voice she went on, " Ristu... don't tell me that..."
This time I couldn't bear to hear her continue so I interrupted, " hahaha, yeah, I'm leaving to Indiana." I paused given them time to think it over and decided to keep going, this time acting more carefree and at ease, " But, pffft, only one year right? Also isn't it great that my arm would get better?" I tried to set a bait with the last sentence.
Yui jumped out in joy. " Ricchan will get better? Than it's worth it, ne?"
" Ritsu-senpai... so your arm will get better." Azusa repeated after Yui in disbelief with a smile on her face. Mugi nodded in agreement to the entire thing while beaming in delight. Mio stared at the ground for an instant, but than nodded in agreement as well.
" When are you leaving?" a sudden outburst came from Mio's lips. With such a quiet and pleasant atmosphere around us, she startled me with her seriousness.
" In three months." My mom suddenly jumped into our conversation.
" Ah, so you will be back by your third year of university, right, Ritsu-senpai?" Azusa looked at me concernedly.
Let's see were gonna be 1st years, so logically I'll be back by 2nd year of university.
Hahaha, third year does she really not want to see me anymore. I suppose even Azusa can get mixed up. Probably because of such an intense moment in her life right now, seeing me like this, the poor girl. I clenched my fist and looked at the ceiling. Snapping out off my thoughts I quickly shouted, " Azusa!" I looked at her with fake teary eyes, " I understand how you feel about this situation I'm in so naturally you would make a mistake, but I forgive you," I finished with pride in my voice and continued with a more serious tone, " Of course you meant you would see me by the start of the 2nd year, ne?" I hoped for praise from everyone so I looked at them with a dimwitted smile. But all I got was silence and confused looks.
" What does she mean by 2nd year?" My father asked in surprise. With everybody dumbfounded I quickly decided to recount my calculations. The answer was the same.
" Hey, why are you looking at me as if I'm stupid! Everything is correct today is March 15th 2010, and if we are 1st years in April..." But in a flash, before I could continue I was cut off. It was Mio's trembling voice. She was shaking for some odd reason.
" What do you mean 2010?" her voice was hoarse.
"Eh..."
Again before I could go on, my mother cut in, " Ritsu... the year is 2011... not 2010." My mother's eyes were wide open as if she had seen a ghost. But not as wide as mine, as if they were about to fall out.
2011? What does she mean... last I remember it was February and since I've been in a coma for a month, it's March- yea that's right-but why 2010?
" Doctor!" My father standing at the corner of the room suddenly ran out, leaving the door behind him open.
I couldn't quite understand everyone's concern or why they were sticking it in my head that it was 2011. I was positive it was 2010. So was it all just a dream?
Has to be.
With the gathered information the doctor came to the decision that I was suffering from memory loss. That it was physiologically, her theory was that it was due to the horrible accident I experienced, that it shook me up. I only sighed throughout the entire thing, sort of giggling, because right now at this moment... nothing surprised me... nothing.
I know I know, it might be confusing and with all the numbers. Just ughh i know... just bear with me it will get better XD
R&R please. :)
