Hey everyone! Thank you sooo much for all of the reviews! I think I got six, and I was expecting, maybe two, so thank you very much! Well here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Hiro was quickly taken into an examination room, but only his legal guardian was allowed to be with him. We both put up an exhausting fight, Hiro not wanting to leave my side, and I didn't want some stranger, a doctor or not, just taking my brother. But not twenty minutes later, I came to my senses.

"Hiro, I don't want to leave you either. I don't want you to leave me. But the sooner we get this over with, the sooner we'll be back together." I reasoned. "I promise you with my life, I will be right here."

I had whispered the last part in his ear, no one else knowing. They led him into the room, and slammed the door, while I chewed my lip. Now three hours later, I was pacing the room. I had heard nothing from Aunt Cas or the doctor. This really sucked. I was out here, while everyone else was with MY brother!

"Tadashi Hamada? You can come in now." a nurse peeked out the door.

I pushed past her, not even caring about manners. Hiro was lying on one those hospital beds, sleeping soundly for the moment. Aunt Cas was crying as the doctor talked to her. Seeing me, she motioned for me to come over. I looked worridly from her to Hiro, trying to decide which to go to. Finally, I walked towards Aunt Cas.

"What's wrong with Hiro? Why can't he see?" I asked bluntly.

"Your brother is suffering from a disease known as Laracose. Some of the sideaffects are muscle fatigue, headaches, loss of sight, nausea, and some other things, such as internal bleeding. As Hiro's brother, I was wondering if you had seen any of these signs other than blindeness." the doctor asked.

But I couldn't answer. Hiro had Laracose? I was no medical expert, but I did know the survival rate of this was fourteen out of one hundred. And those who were able to see again was a three out of the fourteen. Those weren't great chances at all. There had to be some way...

"Tadashi? Did you hear me?" the doctor cut off my thoughts.

I nodded. "There's been no headaches or nausea that I know of. But he couldn't walk so that could be a sign of muscle fatigue. Will he be alright?"

The doctor's eyes grew slightly hopeful. "Then he still has a chance. We need to get Hiro into an operating room now, and progress from there. If Hiro is alright with doing this of course." he looked towards the sleeping boy.

Hiro was still out like a light, and I went and sat next to him. When he woke up, I was the only other one in the room. I tapped his shoulder, and he slightly freaked out.

"Who was that?!" he asked.

"It's just me. Tadashi."

He took a deep breath of relief. "You kept your promise."

"Well," I started. "Of course I did. I would never break one I made to you."

Hiro smiled at that. We both sat in silence for a while until my brother asked the question that was nagging at the back of everyone's mind. No one had been brave enough to say it aloud until now though.

"Tadashi? Am I going to die?" his words filled with great sadness.

"I, I don't know. You have Laracose. It's an extremely rare chance you'll survive and even rarer that you'll get your sight back." I answered as honestly as I could. "I'm sorry."

He merely shrugged. "Oh. Well I guess this could be goodbye?"

I nodded, feeling the hot tears in my eyes. "As much as I hate to say it, yes, it could be."

"Okay... I'll miss you Tadashi, but I guess this is for the best..."

"I'll miss you too Hiro. No one could ever come close to replacing my little brother." I swiped angrily at my tears.

"I know... Tadashi. Thank you." he said weakly.

"For what? I've done nothing to help."

"For, for," he stuttered. "For being the best brother in the whole world."

We were silent and motionless again until Hiro threw his arms around me. I was taken aback for a second, but then hugged him back. I let go, and he sniffed.

"Do you have to go?" he asked sadly.

I nodded. "I do. But I'll be back as soon as you come out. Now go get better. And don't die on me. I couldn't bare to live without you."

"Mr. Hamada? We need to ask you to leave now." another nurse said.

I squeezed Hiro's hand, and did a small fist bump, getting him to smile. I watched them take my brother, only Aunt Cas being allowed in again. I sat down on a chair, and took a deep breath, fighting the tears that were threatening to fall. My lip trembled, and I smiled when I saw Honey Lemon, Wasabi, Fred, and GoGo. None of them had never ever met Hiro, yet they were all here.

I waved them over, taking another deep breath. I explained what was going on, glad to have at least my friends close. They all stayed for hours and by the time they left it was past seven. I was offered a plate of food from the cafeteria by one of the workers, but I refused. I wasn't, couldn't, eat anything until I knew my brother was going to be okay.

I fell asleep, deeply unaware of what was happening for a good two hours, until my phone went off. I awoke with a start, startled by my phone's ringtone after all that happened these past two days. I had been recording Hiro one day work on his invention for the school science fair, when something went wrong. He had started to run, and yell at me to get out too. I, meanwhile, had stood there laughing my head off, not seeing the big deal. That was until a piece of flying debri hit me in the head, giving me a concussion.

My ringtone was set as that because I was always extremly alert whenever Hiro was in trouble. But after everything, I may have to change it for a little while.

"Run Tadashi! Run! Tadashi, No!" the ringtone sounded again.

I picked it up, and answered when I saw it was Aunt Cas. "Hello? What's up Aunt Cas?"

"We need you back here. Hiro refuses to let us do this without you." she responded.

"Be there in a minute." I ended the call, already running towards where my brother was.

By the end, eleven nurses and two doctors were chasing me. I slowed as I got closer and walked in like I didn't have thirteen people on my tail. I saw Hiro fighting everyone in the room, including Aunt Cas. I walked towards him, and started to whisper into his ear.

"Hiro. It's me again. Tadashi. Stop fighting. I've got your back. No one will get past me. I know you can't see and it's really freaking you out, but no one is trying to hurt you. They all want to help you, that's all. Just let them do this." I whispered, hoping to calm and reinsure him.

I then heard the two words I never thought I'd hear Hiro say aloud. "I'm scared Tadashi. This is all just to confusing. I don't think I can do it." he whispered back, hurt clear in his voice.

I merely smiled. "I know you can do it. You're the strongest person I know. I have no doudt about it. You'll make it. You just have to believe in yourself."

We hugged and Hiro let the doctors do what they needed to. Aunt Cas collapsed in my arms, crying for Hiro. And I silently cursed myself for being the oldest sibling. Why? Because I wanted to cry too, but if I did that, no body would be able to hold it together.

And we couldn't possibly have that, now could we?

And cut! Only one chapter left, and I hope to have out sooner than I did this one. And if someone reading this is medically trained, please know when I made up the disease Laracose, that I was thinking, "Fictional world, fictional disease." Well I hope you all enjoyed, and please review!
