The team just stared in shock. So much was happening. It was a lot to take in.

"What type of surgery? Success rate? Who is doing it?" Yukimura asked in a paniced tone.

She just stared. Her eyes said 'this isn't a joke, his life is at risk"

"Listen, he has internal bleeding. I am doing the surgery. His parents have agreed. The chance of him living is, well," she takes a deep breathe then continues," 60% chance of him living."

The team looks like they are about to have heart attacks.

"On- only 60%," Akaya says in complete shock.

"Is there another procedure you guys could do?" Niou asked, " Maybe a safer one or something,"

"Look, I know this isn't easy but you must understand, this has to be done now. Any other procedure would take too much prep. We don't have that much time with him," she said in a rush.

She knew she needed to hurry. Nurses start walking into Sanada's room.

"Look, they are starting prep now. Trust me. I know what I am doing," she said hoping they understood not to interfere.

She left the stunned team. She had to begin her part of the prep. The team just sat outside Sanada's room. Watching the nurses run in and out. Watching his parents faces go white everytime the nurses hooked him up to something else. Yukimura felt useless sitting there. They couldn't do nothing but watch as their teammate and friend was dying.

The prep was done. The moved Sanada to the operation room. Back in the room, Sanada's mother was crying. His father was trying to help her off the ground and move her. The team was in the same postion. Just in shock. All wide eyes. Some full of tears. The surgery was going to take at least three hours. It could take more if there were complications.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Buchou, should we be worried? It has been over three hours?" Akaya asked nervously while pulling Yukimura out of his thoughts.

He was wondering the same thing. Though he didn't want to tell Akaya that.

"Akaya, every surgery has problems. I would be worried if they did do the surgery in three hours. Do you remeber the chance of sucess? It is low. I want them to take their time and do it right," he said kindly.

"So it is a good thing?" Akaya asked.

"Yes Akaya. Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine," Yukimura reassured Akaya.

Hearing in out loud even made Yukimura feel better. He was praying he was right.

*****************************************************************************************************************************************************

"The surgery was a failure," Dr. Kasumi told the team and Sanada's parents.

"What!? You-," Yukimura said, running out of words.

Most of the team had tears while the parents were having a break down.

"Listen, it wasn't a total failure. We were not able to stop the bleeding permanently. In a few days, he will be bleeding again. We are scheduling another surgery. One part that was a complete sucess was we needed to pull him out of the coma. And we did. You can see him now," Dr. Kasumi said.

His parents rushed in. Yukimura stopped the team from going in. He told them that his parents should have some time with him. After 20 minutes or so, his parents came out. His mother continued to look at the ground. His father told them they could go in. The went in to see awake. His expression told them he was tired. After a few minutes of talking, they left Yukimura and Sanada alone.

"Looks like it is my turn to be in the hospital," Sanada said.

Yukimura giggled at that.

"Yeah, looks like it is. How do you feel?" he asked.

"Like crap, other than that, never better," he said half smiling.

After a little while about talking about tennis and everything in between, Yukimura left. He didn't want to leave, but he knew his parents would be worried because of how late it was.

A couple days passed, the team came to see him everyday. Today was the day for the next surgery.
