Chapter 1: Schule und Krankenhaus (School and Hospital)

"Syusuke-san!"

The said boy looked up to see his seatmate and best female friend, Himiko, running towards him.

"Himiko-san, it's nice to see you too." Fuji greeted as the girl stopped in front of him.

"Where have you been, Syusuke-san? You have an appointment today!" Himiko asked impatiently with a frown on her face.

"I'm sorry, Himiko-san. I'll just finish this then meet you at the gates, okay?" Fuji replied apologetically.

"Sure. Just be there in three minutes. Any later than that and you'll be late." Himiko said then quickly left.

Fuji packed his things then started walking towards the gates of the school. When he got there though, he saw not only Himiko but her cousins as well.

"Syusuke-san, hurry up!" Himiko shouted impatiently, catching the attention of some students that were passing by. Fuji just continued walking towards the girl and her cousins.

"Good afternoon, Ryoma-kun, Akaya-kun." Fuji greeted with his smile still in place.

"Good afternoon, Syusuke-sempai." The two males greeted back.

"Enough of that. Let's get going!" Himiko said, pulling Syusuke by his wrist towards the car.

Syusuke let himself get dragged with an amused smile on his face. The younger males followed the impatient girl and Fuji, standing side by side with similar smirks on their faces.


Later, the four teens could be seen walking towards the entrance of a hospital.

"It's been a month since your last appointment. Am I right, Syusuke-san?" Himiko asked.

Fuji nodded in response as they entered the building. They quickly headed towards the receptionist's table.

"Fuji Syusuke?" The receptionist asked when the four teens reached the table. Fuji nodded.

"The doctor would be ready to see you in a few moments. Please proceed to the 3rd room on the right in the left hall. Your doctor has been transferred there. Have a good day." The receptionist said with a smile on her face.

Himiko thanked the receptionist then lead the way towards the room. When they entered the room though, Fuji's doctor no where in sight.

"Where is she?" Himiko asked no one in particular.

They sat down on the couch near the window and waited for the doctor to arrive. Just when they were about to sit down, someone entered the room.

"I'm sorry that I'm late." The doctor started as she headed for her desk.

"There was an emergency meeting and it just ended." She added as she fixed her stuff.

"It's okay, Motomiya-san. We didn't wait long." Fuji said as they sat down.

"Syusuke-san, I thought I told you to call me Yurei-san instead. 'Motomiya-san' sounds so old." Yurei scolded in a joking manner.

"Hai, Yurei-san." Fuji said with a small nod.

"Now, let's get started on your tests." Yurei said seriously as she took her clipboard.


Later…

"Well, that's it." Yurei said as she cleaned up her materials.

"Please wait for a few minutes. I still have to get the results from the laboratory." Yurei said before leaving the room.

"How was it this time, Syusuke-san?" Himiko asked as she entered the room.

"It was better than last time." Fuji replied as he sat down on the couch.

"You must be getting used to it, sempai." Kirihara said as he entered the room with Ryoma by his side.

"You two are inseparable. I can't believe you two nearly hated each other 3 years ago!" Himiko commented, changing the subject completely.

"Hate is such a strong word, Himiko-san." Fuji said.

"Okay, how about dislike?" Himiko asked, facing Fuji.

"I guess that's okay." Fuji said with an amused smile as he saw the two males going behind Himiko.

"Himiko-nee-san…" Kirihara and Ryoma whispered to Himiko's ears, one on each side.

"Eep!" Himiko squealed in surprise then moved away, panting.

Fuji began chuckling when Kirihara started laughing and Ryoma started chuckling under his breath. Himiko glared at her cousins.

"Don't do that again!" Himiko said as tears made its way to her eyes.

"You can't fool us, Himiko-nee-san." Kirihara said with a smirk. Ryoma agreed with a similar smirk on his face.

"Syusuke-san, look what have you done to my dear cousins! They used to be so innocent and nice." Himiko pointed at her cousins as she faced Fuji, with all her tears from before were gone.

"What ever are you talking about, Himiko-san?" Fuji asked with a wondering look on his face but inside he was clearly amused, mostly when he saw annoyed looks on the two teens across him.

"Hmph." Himiko sat on the chair near the couch then sulked.

A smirk found its way back to the two teens' faces as they sat down on the couch where Fuji was seating. This was how Yurei found them when she entered the room.

"Syusuke-san, I have the results." Yurei started as she ignored the sulking teen near her.

She began to explain about his health improving and that he should continue taking his regular meds but some in a different dosage and such.

"Is that all, Yurei-san?" Himiko asked once Yurei finished talking.

"Yes, that is all. Please see me again next month, same time." Yurei answered as she led them to her door.

"See you next month!" The four teens waved before leaving.

Yurei closed the door then slumped on the couch, Fuji's file still in her hands. She opened it to a particular page where the records of Fuji 3 years ago were written. Yurei took a picture among the pile and stared at it.

It was a picture of Fuji, all pale and skinny that one could assume he was dead at that time. That was the first time she was appointed as his new doctor. She took another picture. It was a picture of the man who took Fuji to the hospital, covered in blood and all.

Fuji Syusuke, what happened to you?
