So when I started playing KS I didn't think I'd care about it so much. Obviously I was wrong. I feel bad for the people who like my other fanfic, as it hasn't been updated because of this fanfic. Sorry. Also I won't be following Katawa Shoujo's Canon to closely. Mainly because this a piece of fan fiction.
Anyway, as Always; Read, Review, Enjoy.
I'll be conducting a poll to see who Hisao ends up with.
The choices are as follow:
Lilly, Hanako, Rin, Shizune, Emi (regrettably), Misha, Iwanoko (maybe), Saki (check her page on the KS wiki), Riki (same, check her page), or an OC if not enough votes are put (or I might just use Saki or Rika). Votes should be casted as comments, but if that seems like a underhanded attempt to get more reviews for me you can always pm me. Miki won't be on this poll because I have plans for her. The Poll ends some time in April.
Anyways, as Always; Read, Review, and Enjoy
P.s. this story follows Kenji's "Route". If you haven't played that route, well, I guess you'll be lost. If that's the case, just read about that path. It's kind of necessary.
Poll has ended.
"What the hell is going on?" said a groggy, painful Hisao as he awoke. He looked around him and saw that once again he was in hospital attire, in a hospital bed. He noticed that his entire body had ached, but that was strange. That last thing he remembered was falling of the roof of the school to evade Kenji's strange advances.
"Shouldn't I be dead?" He thought.
"Looks like you're awake now."
Hisao turned to face his unknown visitor. It was a young man that looked no older than himself. It also seemed that he had been reading a book prior to Hisao waking, the book ironically titled The Stranger.
"Are you hungry? I could peel you an apple if you wish?" The young man asked.
"Uh, thanks, I guess. But, who are you?"
"Hmm, you could say I'm one of Lilly's friends. She asked me to look after you for a while while she and Hanako buy some flowers or something."
Hisao was somewhat irritated that although he had given him some idea of who he was, the young man had still not given him his name.
"Okay, but what's your name?"
"My, you sure are impatient. However that's to be expected considering you been unconscious for a least a month now, I believe."
"Wait, what?"
"Well you were hospitalized after that nasty fall. In fact you're extremely lucky to be alive now. Had someone not immediately called for help, you'd probably be dead."
Hisao's eyes widened. He tried getting up, but his legs just wouldn't budge.
"You should take it easy, you aren't ready move out and about yet for at least another two months, or so the doctor says."
Hisao looked at him with an astonished look laid across his face. He touched his face, and pinched his cheek to see if he was really alive.
"Ouch!" He was. As he felt his cheek, he noticed there was a bit of stubble indicating he was indeed at the hospital for sometime.
"Must come as quite the shock to you, doesn't it. After your fall Kenji just shut himself in his room. He hasn't come out in quite a while. We leave meals outside his door to make sure he's at least eating. But most of the time the meals look untouched. Maybe he killed himself, I'm just joking. But no one has really checked, I don't think anyone really cares that much about him, especially after the fall."
Hisao felt a flash of hatred at Kenji, as he felt that it was Kenji's fault he was in the hospital again. But that hate subsided as he felt that he also somewhat was responsible, as he was up there drinking with Kenji instead of at the festival. Because he felt pity for himself, he had made a bad decision and almost died.
"Anyway, it seems like you get a lot of visitors." The young man said he pointed towards the window closest to Hisao, which was littered with flowers with sympathetic cards.
"Why, why did this happen to me? Am I just unlucky? Is the world enjoying itself by making me miserable?" Hisao said as he dug his face into his hands.
The young man had finished peeling two apples that now sat at the desk by Hisao's bed.
"I think you need to stop wallowing in your self pity. I mean that's what got you here in the first place."
Hisao turned to face the young man with an angry look. He was infuriated by the words of the young man, as if he could understand. As angry as was, he noticed that the young man was wearing a Yamaku Academy uniform.
"I meant no offense to you. However, you should be glad that you are alive."
"I think I rather be dead," Hisao said rather harshly.
The young man gave Hisao a mean look.
"No you don't!" He said with a low growl, "No human beings truly wishes that. When you're dead it's all over. There are no second chances when you are dead. If I ever hear you say that again I'll push you off another building and we'll see if that's really what you want!"
The young man's eyes watered a bit, and he wiped them with a handkerchief he pulled from his left pocket. Hisao felt a bit of guilt run down his spine. He wondered what this guy had to make him care like this. He looked fairly normal. He had brownish black hair, and an average look of a regular Japanese teen.
"I'm, sorry. I shouldn't have gotten so emotional. It's just, when you die, it's all over. I mean, don't you have a food that you love to eat, a book you love to read, or a person you truly enjoy being with? When you're dead, you'll never be able to enjoy those things anymore."
Those words ate at Hisao. For some reason, now he actually felt a little glad he was alive.
"Grrrrrrr"
Hisao held onto his stomach. Hunger now took over his senses.
"Knock, knock"
Someone knocked on the door.
"That must be Lilly and Hanako. Get better alright. Well, you should also eat something. I imagine not eating for an entire month would work up an appetite. The apples are right there. Enjoy them."
The young man got up to the door, but stopped there.
"By the way, my name is Rei, Moroi Rei. Call me Rei, don't be formal," He said with a slightly fake smile.
Rei opened the door, revealing Lilly and Hanako outside.
"He's all yours girls."
As those two went in the room, Rei left, and Hisao felt just a bit better.
