Hospitals. That word always takes an influence on people. So many persons feel different emotions when mentioning that word, Hurt, anger, grief, depression…. Some will feel uncomfortable seeing they had an experience of being hospitalized. Others will think immediately of blood and feel their hearts ache; it would be either because they lost their loved ones or had bad memories about it. However, Haruya suffered all those feelings at once. He was in one of the hospital's waiting rooms, sitting on the floor, crouched up against the wall. He was holding his legs in his arms and he placed his chin on his knees. The doctors were still operating on Suzuno since 30 minutes ago, and Nagumo just phoned Hitomiko to inform her of the situation, which she said that she was coming right away.

Nagumo cried his heart out and let the pain fill his chest and the blame torture him. He even blamed himself more than that truck driver. He just couldn't stop thinking about Suzuno. What if she was already dead while he was sitting here just waiting? He would never forgive himself, that was one thing he was sure of. He just has to wait and believe in her strength. But for the first time in his life, he truly felt alone. He was already thinking of the possibility of losing Fuusuke. He wished badly he would take her place. He wished that this agony would just leave him alone. He wished that nothing of this happened in the first place. But he just wished. Why didn't he refuse Suzuno's suggestion from the start? Why did they choose to go to the park of all places? Why didn't he see the truck? Why was he that stupid? All those questions spinning through his head made him dizzy.

"Fuusuke, don't leave me…" He silently whispered to no one in particular. In fact, he was alone; the nurses led him to an empty waiting room, so he could feel comfortable. Haruya suddenly clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teethes. It was his goddamn it fault this all happened. Once he stood up, he let out a growl and slammed his fist against the wall. On the spot where Burn just punched, appeared a hole from the powerful collision.

Nagumo screamed his anger out as he made his way to a chair and kicked it. "FUCK!" he shouted instantly, not caring about the nurses that were passing by. However, he shut up when he saw some familiar persons run toward him. He instantly recognized them and quickly wiped his tears. He hardened his face when Hiroto, Midorikawa, Ulvida, Desarm and Hitomiko reached him.

"Haruya! Are you alright?!" Hitomiko laid a hand on his shoulder. She looked much panicked, and her eyes were full of tears, but she tried to hold them in.

The mentioned boy just turned his head away and exhaled a 'Tch'. He then answered with a simple "No". He was going to snap at her, but he wasn't really in the mood.

"And how is Fuusuke? Are they still operating?" She asked once again, which made him feel annoyed and more angered once again by the question.

"How does it look like!" He suddenly snapped at her.

They were all taken aback by his outburst, Hitomiko's features softened to a sad look. Then Hiroto decided to break the silence.

"Burn, I know that it's hard…but we're just so worried…" he calmly told him, trying to sound reasonable with his rival.

"Shut it Gran! What do you know, Huh?! What if it was REIZE instead!?"He replied back furiously, as Burn seized him by the collar, in a threatening way.

"Burn, please, we don't want fights in a time like this!" Midorikawa tried, as some tears forcibly made their way down her cheeks. Nagumo let go of Gran and made the wise decision to listen to the crying girl.

Hiroto wrapped his arm around Midorikawa's waist and pulled her to him, soothing her. Yagami and Saginuma stayed in the sidelines, watching with silent eyes while holding hands. Watching the couples just made Nagumo miss Suzuno even more. He bit his lip when he felt a burning sensation in his eyes.

"Nagumo, are you alright?" Ulvida asked him with tears in her eyes. Yagami was like a big sister to them, and Nagumo didn't felt the urge to lie nor hide his sadness, but he wasn't going to show them his weak side.

So, turning his head to the side, he muttered a 'no' and balled his fists.

Reina sighted. "It's alright; you know that Suzuno is strong, right? She is too stubborn to leave it all like this." Yagami placed her hands on his shoulders in a friendly way, offering him a sad smile.

"You don't know, she already said goodbye…" Burn absently whispered.

"What?!" Midorikawa lifted her head from Hiroto's chest, furrowing her eyebrows.

Burn's head perked up when he realized what he just said. He then bit his lip hard to prevent it from trembling even more. He took a deep breath, and explained to them what happened, abruptly ending his speech crying along with Ulvida and Midorikawa. Hitomiko took a tissue and wipped the tears in her eyes; she wanted to be strong for both Nagumo and the others.

"I'm going to look for a nurse to ask about the status of the operation, be right back…" Hitomiko patted Nagumo's shoulder and began on looking for a nurse.

"I'm going to bring some coffee…" Desarm quickly informed them, and realized his girlfriend from the hug. He too was like a big brother to his younger siblings, and he kind of blamed himself for not being able to do anything. He knew just how much Nagumo loved Suzuno, and he prayed so hard that she was going to be alright. Burn needed her, they all needed her. And if they lose her, he knew how much people will be sad. Before they arrived at the hospital, all the orphans wanted to come and assure that Suzuno was alright. Especially her Diamond dust teammates. They were all worried, and it took him and the others sometime to beg Hitomiko to let them accompany her. In case of their 'father', Hiroto called him in their way to the hospital, and he replied by saying that he'll come right away, but he has some important business, so he would take some time.

Both Hitomiko and Saginuma returned after some time. However, all the teens were shocked to see Hitomiko's puffy eyes from crying, already understanding that bad news were present.

"What's wrong, Hitomiko-san?!" Burn almost shouted, fearing the worst.

She slightly shook her head, as if to tell them not to panic."I met Suzuno's doctor, they're not done with the surgery yet, b-but…" She surprisingly cut her sentence, and breathed in to calm her nerves. The others were still waiting for an answer with panicked expressions still visible on their faces. Hitomiko cleared her throat. "He told me that the surgery is going as planned, but…he said that her heart…stopped twice on the table…"

Silence. What could they possibly say? They were speechless, when suddenly Ryuugi started crying and sobbing again. Hiroto glanced at her and furrowed his eyebrows in worry. He then took her hand, excused themselves, and got out to breath in some fresh air. Ulvida glanced at Burn who was completely silent. He was gazing in front of him, with an awestruck look planted on his face. He was lost in his thoughts about Suzuno, that he didn't hear his friends calling his name.

"Nagumo! Look at me!" He suddenly found himself in front of Ulvida, with her hands placed on his shoulders. She looked worried. He then noticed that some silent tears were cascading down his wet cheeks. Haruya wiped his tears away.

Yagami enveloped him in a hug, one arm behind his back, the other to bring his head to rest on her chest. "It's ok! You can cry, no need to be ashamed about that…" she softly told him, showing her sisterly nature again.

"…" Nagumo couldn't bring himself to cry in front of all of them. Nothing different from that stubborn mule. He wanted to cry so badly, to let all his new born anger out, but he still considered his pride. So he slowly pushed himself out of her hug, and looked at the side.

"I'm not crying…" He murmured.

"Burn, everyone cries…we won't judge about anything, everyone has those times" Desarm joined Yagami and stood beside her.

"I know, just…I just miss her…" Nagumo quickly said, and made his way past them to sit on a chair.

Ulvida, Desarm and Hitomiko followed him and took a seat beside him, not saying a word. They just sat there a couple of minutes before Gran and Reize came back.

They waited and waited for the doctor, and hoped that everything was all right. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes turned into hours. When after 4 hours of operating, a doctor finally decided to show up. The man was old, he looked around his 50th, he had grey hair and deep dark eyes. They immediately got up and hurried over to the doctor.

"Doctor! Is she alright?! Please tell us how is she?!" Nagumo asked the doctor in fright, nearly tripping over his words.

Hitomiko placed her hand on Nagumo's shoulder."Doctor, how is she?!" She, unlike Nagumo, asked in a calm, but worried tune.

The doctor smiled."Don't worry; she's stable right now…"

"Oh thank God…" Nagumo sighted in relief. The others were smiling that their friend was alive after all. Hopeful smiles began on shining on their faces, and tears to well up in the promising eyes.

"Can I see her?" Nagumo asked.

The doctor's expression suddenly softened. "I'm sorry young man, she's in the ICU right now, but we're going to transfer her to a regular room after a few minutes…But…" His face expressed sadness after some moment, suddenly feeling guilty to break their happy moment.

"I-is something wrong, doctor…?" Hiroto decided to ask this time instead.

The sage doctor looked at Hitomiko, seeing as she was the oldest amongst the teenagers. "Would you like to talk in private, or do you want me to inform you all, of the situation?"

"No doctor, we're all family here, please tell us what's wrong!"

He sighted. "Alright. It seems that Suzuno had hit her head hard during the accident…" Burn shivered." And the wound on the back of her head was bleeding badly, so she got knocked out by the pressure of the actions the brain could control, she wouldn't have survived if someone didn't press down on her wound…Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, the pressure that happened to her brain caused to shut itself out, by other means, she's lying in a coma right now…"

"C-coma…?" The term was on the bit of Ryuugi's tongue.

The man nodded."I'm sorry, but yes…"

The words start on spinning in Nagumo's head, wishing he hadn't heard it at all. Coma. It sounded so definite yet so fatal. It caused Burn to believe that it was the end of it all. That word had a profound meaning set in it. Was it the end? Was fate teasing him and Suzuno? Did the universe just loved to play games on him before the certain end? He didn't know…

"W-when will she wake up?" Hitomiko asked startled, her mind was still struggling to process the information.

"We don't know…but we're sure that she'll wake up, she just needs time, keep on believing in her…" He smiled a little, a sad and hopeful smile at the same time."We're doing everything can, but I ask you to not stress too much, you just have to believe in her strength…"

"Thanks doctor…" Hitomiko thanked him again, but the worry was still present on her face.

"Would you like to step in my office? I'd like to talk to you in privacy about the surgery details…" the doctor asked Hitomiko.

Hitomiko nodded her head and turned to the teenagers, "I'll be right back…"

Suddenly a nurse rushed in and addressed the doctor. She was in her mid 20s. She had a short brown hair which hangs till her shoulders, with sky-blue eyes."Doctor, we just transferred the patient to her room, 334…"

"Okay, thank you, would you mind if you lead those young teenagers to their friend's room?" he politely demanded the young lady, mentioning to Nagumo and the others.

"Hai! Please follow me!" The naïve nurse slightly smiled at them.

As they made their way toward the room, Nagumo was scared of what sight was going to greet him. He just couldn't imagine the condition his girlfriend would be in. But he was determined to be there for her no matter what, because he promised…

"You know, your girl is strong, so don't worry…" The young nurse patted Haruya's shoulder, which made him look up to her in wonder.

"She has a strong heart, a heart that carries so much love. You can help her and more by just loving her. You know a quote that's saying: If she's happy, she needs a smile from you, if she's sad, she'll need your shoulder to cry on, but if she wants to be loved, then just be yourself…" The young woman smiled at him, her blue eyes kindly offered kind courage.

"Thank you…" Nagumo returned a doubtful smile.

"Don't worry; you just have to believe in her…" The nurse reassured him, but he was still slightly worried about his girlfriend. Yagami glanced at Saginuma and squeezed his hand, grinning. Hiroto and Midorikawa looked at each other.

"We're here!" The nurse informed them once they reached Suzuno's room. She gazed at Nagumo with a soft gaze. "Do you want to go ahead first?"

Nagumo just gulped. He didn't know what he wanted to do. He was scared, he'll admit. But he promised her, so he should be the one to see her first. He nodded.

"Okay…" she opened the door and entered, before she stepped aside and stood beside the door. Nagumo hesitated at first, but his beating heart ordered him to hurry up and go see his lover. So he just listened to his heart and took his fist steps in the room. He squeezed his eyes shut as he entered the room, preparing himself before facing the reality. He opened his eyes, and he wished he would sink through the floor right now and then. His precious person, was lying on a bed, the white blanket was covering her whole body. Her eyes were painfully shut, and an oxygen mask was placed on her face to help her with breathing. All kind of wires and machines were linked to her body. A heart monitor was next to her bed, signaling that her heart was still beating.

"Fuusuke…" Haruya whispered to no one in particular, not breaking the contact he held with Gazel's unmoving figure. Still in shock, he didn't realize yet that the others entered the room a minute after. Midorikawa placed her hand on her mouth, as if to prevent her gasp from being loud. Hiroto's eyes softened and traced to Burn's figure, searching for the red-head's reaction. Yagami and Saginuma stayed silent.

"I'll leave you for a moment…" The nurse told them, before stepping out of the room.

"Fuusuke…" Nagumo murmured again, while he made his way toward her, and took her hand in his. "I'm so sorry…" He squeezed his eyes shut as he felt tears made their way down his cheeks. The others looked at each other, wondering if they would either comfort their friend, or leave the room and let him have his privacy. The latter choice seemed better. What would they say to him if they comforted him? Tell him fairy tales stories to calm him down? Well, that sounded childish. So with one last look at their fallen friends, they walked out of the room.

"I'm sorry…damn it…"He sobbed out. He's let himself fall on his knees, Suzuno's hand still held in his strong grasp. He placed his forehead on her hand and continued on crying.

"I'm really sorry, Fuusuke, you heard me saying it already…b-but I am really sorry, it was all my Goddamn it fault!" He growled when he finished his sentence. After some minutes of crying, he took a chair over, and sat on it besides Gazel's bed. He silently watched her, stroking her hair gently with one of his hands, while the other caressed hers with his thumb. He kept starting at her peaceful face. He wanted so badly to see those teal eyes of hers, he loved them too much. And he terribly wished he could see that beautiful smile that she would show just to him.

"Fuusuke, please don't leave me…you promised….I need you…" He whispered, hoping that she could hear him. As his words disappeared into thin air, he let a tear ran down his cheek.

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing.
