Sorry I haven't updated in a few days! I haven't had any chance to come on the computer at all, since my mom has been making me clean. (ughh…) So, here's chapter 3, hope you like it! R&R!


Hikaru's POV

When I woke up again, It was 9 in the morning. A nurse was in the room, checking my roommate's monitors. I turned to her and asked, "Excuse me ma'am, but where am I?"

She gave me a sympathizing, yet slightly annoyed smile that annoyed me. Of course, I couldn't blame her. She probably had amnesia patients ask her the same thing every day. It must be tiring.

"You're in Tokyo Hospital." She said calmly and loudly, as though she assumed I couldn't hear her or was incredibly stupid just because I was in the hospital. Hospital? I thought to myself What the hell am I doing here?

"Why? What happened to me?" Even if I really did know, I probably still would have asked just to push her buttons, but I honestly had no idea.

"Well… according to your file, you had a concussion." She said in the same annoyingly loud and obnoxious voice. "Your only here for supervision, and you're being let out at 4:00 this afternoon." She gave a short bow and exited the room. But how did I get the concussion? I thought back. The last thing I remembered before waking up here was talking on the phone to… to a police officer… from the Iwate prefecture… Kikucho? No, Kikuchi. About what? About… a car accident… Kaoru? Kaoru had been in a car accident! I bolted up. I had to find out if he was oka—and then I remembered what the Kikuchi-san said to me. He… he was pronounced dead at the scene… I'm terribly sorry. No… no he wasn't dead. I looked around for something I could call the doctor with. I had to hear it from a doctor. Maybe… maybe it was just a bad dream I had last night. I pressed a button that said call doctor on it. A doctor came running in.

"Hitachiin-sama! Is anything wrong?" A young male doctor, maybe in his 30's, came running into the room. I felt a little guilty at first. That button must only be for emergencies, judging from his reaction.

"My brother! What happened to him? Do you know? He didn't die, did he?" The doctor looked puzzled.

"Brother? I'm sorry, I didn't know he was under our care. Since you're an immediate family member, I guess I could find out and get back to you, but I'll need a full name." The doctor offered.

"Oh, right… K-Kaoru, Kaoru Hitachiin." I said, stammering.

"Okay… I'll be right back." The doctor took a quick note of his name and left the room. I laid back on my pillows. There was nothing I could do now but wait for the news. I had a horrible feeling in my stomach. I couldn't be sure of the response he would give me when he got back, but something was telling me it wouldn't be good.

The seconds ticked by, but the felt like minutes. Every step I heard go by in the hallway, my ears perked up and I sat up strait, hoping it would be the doctor carrying news. After awhile, I started to just hope he would come back with news. I didn't even care if it was good or bad, I just wanted news.

When he finally came back, his face was crestfallen. My heart sank. Although I suspected from the start it would be bad, I didn't really want bad news.

"I'm terribly sorry… I looked up your brother on the database… it seems he was pronounced dead at the scene. I'm sorry for your loss." He shuffled out of the room. I felt a little bad. Even though as a doctor he must face death every day, the death of a patient must feel like a failure to him.

I collapsed on the bed. I wasn't really feeling right now. My body was numb. I was glad, though, since I couldn't feel the pain I knew that would come from losing my brother and best friend.
