Usui: Time to start.
Kimi: Derp? Hm?
Candi: Btw, DAYUM. I need a boyfriend. You two make me soo jealous, Usui and Misaki.
Misaki: She doesn't own us, do not sue her, please.

Yui had to take surgery due to her leukemia and the family of four goes to do something until visitor hour, when they can see Yui.
Chapter 3
Misaki talked to Yui in the dark room to keep her company. It was more like gibberish that she spoke, and she couldn't understand herself. Yui looked at her as if she understood, and then froze with her eyes wide and her mouth opened. She was looking at nothing, and then she loosened her tense face and fell over to her right, where her mom was sitting with her. Misaki hadn't known what was happening, so she turned Yui's face so she could see her, and the young child wouldn't move at all. It was like something took over her. Her skin was pale and cold, and she was bony still. Misaki opened her lids with her fingers and only found white, her pupils had rolled into her eyelids. She could see the red veins all over her eyes. Misaki moved her ear to her nose to see if she was breathing. No sound. She checked her pulse with her two fingers. No pulse. The mother screamed when she saw her daughter dead, right in front of her.
Misaki woke up screaming in her husband's arms. "Ssh, Misaki-koi. Relax, please. Stop screaming..." he kept telling her. Misaki immediately started crying and she curled up in Usui's arms. The light touching her face from the window in their room made her teardrops glisten. It must've been morning. "It's OK, Misaki-koi. Relax and calm down..." He kissed her head multiple times and noticed that she was awake. He rubbed her back and still held her tight in his grasp. "Did you have a nightmare?" he asked her. She managed to get a nod out, but she still cried hard. She was scared by that dream. Was it actually going to happen? "It's OK, Misaki-koi. Would you mind telling me what it was about later?" he asked her. She nodded again and wiped her wet eyes. She gripped onto his pajamas and held them tight as if she was going to calm down by clenching it. It did calm her little by little, and she managed to stop after about half an hour.
"T-Takumi-koi... it was about Yui," she said, her voice still shaky.
"Yui... she's going to be OK. She will wake up." He raised his wife's chin to kiss her soft lips, which were damp with her tears she had shed.
"In the dream... she died," she said when their lips seperated, "I-It was scary... Yui... we were in a dark room and we were talking... then suddenly she p-passed out... and died in front of me. It looked so real, especially the part when she fainted on top of me... I felt the fall onto my lap," she said.
"It's OK, Misaki-koi. Now go back to sleep, it's five o'clock. You've been screaming since three and I've been up since comforting you," he told her.
"Oh... I'm sorry, Takumi-koi! I'll pay you back..."
"No need to. Just sleep now," he said and held her in his arms, but a little looser. She moved herself closer to him, even though he didn't ask or do so. She needed to be comforted. When she found herself safe in her husband's arms, she closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
When she woke up, Usui wasn't there anymore. Maybe he's cooking, Misaki thought. Then the door opened. "Misaki-koi, breakfast is ready. Kimi isn't awake yet so we can't have breakfast at the table. She doesn't want to wake up, which is really un-normal..." he said and gave her a small table which had food.
"Thank you for the food, honey!" she said, using a different word from normal.
"Honey? Do you want honey with your toast?" he asked, not sure why she had said that.
"Uh... no. I'm calling you honey..." she said. She'd obviously failed at trying to be sweet. "After I eat, I'm going to feed Arata. You go and try to wake up Kimi," she said.
"But I want to watch my baby get fed by my other baby..." he told her, starting to use his pouty eyes. Misaki immediately saw his attack and tried avoiding his eyes, knowing that they weakened her every single time he used them. She had seen them though, and already gave up arguing.
"F-fine. You can watch for five minutes but then you're going to wake up Kimi!" she exclaimed and started eating. "Why do you want to watch? There's nothing special about it..." she asked.
"It's cute. Misaki-koi looks so cute all the time, especially when she's in my arms," he said. It made her cheeks heat up and turn into a pink color. "I wish that I could hug you all the time and kiss your entire body when it's bare." Her face was now a dark red, and Usui knew what he was doing to her.
"T-Takumi-koi, what does this have to do with feeding Arata?" she asked him, regaining herself from how sweet his words were.
"Nothing. I'm just complimenting you, and telling you what I want to do to you. I want to kiss every part of your skin, and I'll make sure I won't miss a spot, or they'll feel lonely. Misaki-koi, would you allow me to do that?" he asked her. Her face was a red as red could be.
"N-no! You pervert..." she said.
"But you let me do it when we were in high school..." he said and started using his puppy eyes again. He knew her weakness, and he could use it any time. She noticed this again and sat there and stared at him. She fell weak again, and gave up once again.
"Geez! Fine, I'll let you kiss me... but how do you do it?!" she asked him.
"Do what?" he asked after stopping his attack on her.
"How do you convince me so easily with just one look?!" she asked him and started eating his food quickly from anger. He shrugged and hugged her from her side.
"Well Misaki-koi loves me, so she thinks that everything that I do is cute too, right?" he asked her.
"Maybe not everything..." she said once she swallowed a big bite. He shrugged again and still held her while she ate.
"So when can I?" he asked her out of no where. She caught onto the topic.
"Whenever you want... just don't use those eyes on me again!" she told him.
"Nope. I'm going to use them all the time," he said. She winced a little when she felt Usui's lip kiss her neck. They moved to another area nearby there and kissed it. He kissed the entire left side of her neck and moved to the back area, and once she felt his hot breath against her neck, she shivered.
"T-Takumi-koi, are you going to... start?" she asked him. She took a small bite that finished the plate and put her tray on the ground when Usui finished with the back of her neck.
"Yes... but we'll only do your neck today." Misaki sucked her lips into her mouth and sighed. She did yearn for his touch now that he said that. He managed to keep mixing up her feelings, which arritated her.
He kissed her entire neck and then moved back over to the nape of her neck. He licked it starting from the bottom of it to the top. It made Misaki shiver again once he blew on it lightly. "T-Takumi-koi... more please?" she whispered.
"Does Misaki-koi want more? Well, she'll have to wait until tomorrow for more. And the last part of the whole treatment will be fun, so be patient." Fun, what's this guy thinking, Misaki thought.
"I'll wait," she muttered. "W-what?! I didn't mean to say that!" she screamed once she realized what she had said. Usui laughed and got up to retrieve Misaki's tray.
"When I come back, you're going to feed Arata, right?" he asked her.
"Yeah. I will. After you watch, you're going to go wake up Kimi, got it?" she asked him and made sure he got the deal.
"Sure." He left the room and closed the door behind him. Misaki sighed and felt Usui's drying saliva on her neck. She felt how much of it was on her neck, but didn't bother trying to dry it faster. She got up and picked up Arata from his crib and looked at the clock on top of it. It had been nine o'clock. She brought the baby to her bed and sat down on it again. She lowered her sleeve and let her child drink her milk. Usui opened the door again and walked in. He locked the door behind him and walked over to the bed. He stroked Arata's head after he sat next to his wife.
"Our little baby is so precious, right? Kimi and Yui are too. I just hope... Yui will fight the cancer and be strong like all of us are..." she said to her husband. She loved saying that in her head, husband. Usui kissed her head and held her body from behind her. "Remember when Arata was born five months ago? We were all so excited. Especially Yui and Kimi. They were going to have a little brother... having children is such a happy time. Especially since I know I'm having a child with you, and that they are going to be beautiful ones."
"Of course, the making of the baby is fun, isn't it? But when you're pregnant..." he said and trailed off.
"I know, I know. When I'm pregnant, I get moody..."
"But you look cute. Your stomach is full with a baby that's going to be born soon. I know that I'm going to be their father, so I want to love them all the time. I'll talk to them and pet them all the time," he told her. Arata didn't want anymore milk so he stopped drinking, and Misaki raised her sleeve quickly. She leaned back into Usui's lap and held Arata.
"I love you so much... I don't even know how to show it... isn't that ridiculous? It's like you've already shown your love, and I can't..." Misaki said and gave a big sigh. She let Arata lay down to her left and she lifted her arms to attach to Usui's head that was leaning over her. She brought it closer to her face and kissed the lips that were on it with her own. It immediately got deep when Usui gave her another kiss. They kissed for a while, and they were deep and passionate. Their tongues started tangling up and mixing their saliva. "Mm... Takumi-koi," she finally moaned, making her tongue vibrate against his, causing him to have more pleasure. Still having the battle, Usui managed to open his eyes and look around Misaki's body. He moved his hands toward her dress strap and lowered it. She hadn't even noticed because she was so engaged in kissing. When he started touching her collarbone and moving down Misaki's shirt, she noticed his warm skin touching hers. "T-Takumi-koi!" she screamed and stopped kissing him like his hands were. "N-not now! Just... maybe... tonight. We can move Arata into the hallway tonight. But, just not now. It's in the morning and I want to spend time with Kimi and you together and with Arata. And... I-I'm sorry! I love you, I swear I do. Just not now..."
"I know you love me, Misaki-koi. I just wanted to see if you were in the mood. Sorry I started without asking..." he said.
"It's OK. Just one more kiss before we go to wake Kimi?" she asked him. He dove his head down once more to give her a big kiss that lasted long before he removed for the last time. She got up and got Arata too and walked to Kimi and Yui's room. They both looked in and saw the empty bed and the bed that was full. Misaki walked into the room and tried shaking Kimi a little bit. "Kimi... wake uup! Wake up, Kimi!" The little girl's eyes opened.
"Mom? Mom... can I sleep with you and Dad tonight...?" she asked. It'll ruin our plan for tonight, but, Misaki thought.
"Sure, Kimi. How come?" she responded back with a smile. She set Arata next to her body and Kimi looked at him.
"I... I had a dream last night... a night mare, to be exact. It was about Yui... she died in front of me in this dark room we were talking in..." Kimi said. Misaki stroked her face.
"It's OK, Kimi. I had the same dream last night and Daddy comforted me. Do you want him to comfort you?" she asked her daughter.
"No... I'm good... I just can't get over the scary sight..." she responded. "What time is it, Mom?"
"Around ten thirty, we're going to heat up your food, OK?"
"You smell like Dad," Kimi said out of no where. Misaki looked at her in confusion.
"Huh? I smell like Daddy?" she asked.
"Like... you smell like him. You smell like his breath. Were you and Dad making out?" she asked. How did she know about that? She was only eight.
"N-no... and how do you know what making out is?" she asked.
"TV," she responded in a dull tone. She got up and stretched, moving Arata so he wouldn't get hurt when she got up. "Are we going to visit Yui? Is she going to wake up?"
"I'm not sure, Kimi. We'll ask the doctor what's wrong. They didn't call us yet, so that means Yui hasn't woken up yet or they forgot to call us." Usui came in the room and stood next to Misaki.
"Dad. Why does Mom smell like you?" she asked him, thinking that he didn't hear her.
"Er-uhm... Mommy smells like Daddy because we were sleeping so close together last night," he lied.
"But Mommy's breath smells like yours." Kimi was obviously trying to get the right answer.
"She... she used my tooth brush this morning my accident...?" he lied again. Kimi just shrugged and walked over to her parents and gave them a hug.
"Will Yui be alright? Please tell me yes..." she asked them.
"She'll be alright..." the two parents said.
"Come on, you should eat now, Kimi," Misaki said and left the room with her daughter following her close behind with Arata in her hands.
Time to skip ahead~
All of them stared at Yui in the hospital bed, who was still sleeping from yesterday. "Doctor... why is Yui still sleeping?" Kimi asked him. He didn't answer. She tugged on his coat until he looked at her. "Doctor, why is Yui still sleeping?" she asked with a stronger voice. "Has she woken up in the night or has she been sleeping since surgery?" Kimi asked.
"She's been sleeping since surgery, don't worry, she'll be fine," the doctor said.
"It'd be nice if you told us the reason why, doctor," Usui said and looked him in the eye. Kimi stopped tugging on the doctor's coat and walked over to her mom and held her hand, "We're worried about our daughter, you know..."
"Yes, you are worried about her. But I am sorry, I have to go and help another patient," he said. Misaki sighed and watched the doctor leave the room. Misaki looked at her daughter who no longer had her long and beautiful blonde hair. She put Arata, who was in his carriage, on the ground beside the bed and looked at the child in worry.
"Cancer is... an idiot... and it's stupid... and retarded..." Misaki muttered loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.
"I agree, Mother. Cancer deserves to be tortured if it was something you could touch," Kimi replied. Usui kneeled on the ground with one of his knees and took Arata out of his carriage and placed him next to Yui on the bed.
"Arata and I also think cancer shouldn't exist..." Misaki bit on her knuckle, which was one of her strange habits that she did when she was frustrated. Who knew where she got that habit from.
"Darling, no need to be frustrated. Yui will be alright," Usui said. She nodded and held onto Kimi's hand tighter. "When she wakes up, do you want to take some pictures with Yui?" he asked.
"I don't want to remember this cancer..." she told him, "I want to know why Yui isn't waking up!" she said out of no where. She put her face down so it was facing the floor and fell so she was squating. "Why won't my baby wake up?!" she yelled. Kimi and Usui immediately squated by her side to comfort her.
"Darling, please don't scream. We don't want to bother any of the other patients in this room," he said, looking around at the other child who was in a bed across from Yui's.
"I-I'm sorry... I just want to know why she isn't waking up!" She put her hands to her face and she was scared to death.
"Maybe she had too much anesthesia," the young girl across from her said, who was watching her the whole time. Misaki looked to her right to see the little kid who stared at them all.
"W-what?" she asked, she was not able to hear her correctly from her wails.
"She probably had too much anesthesia," she repeated.
"Anesthesia is the gas they put you to sleep," Usui told his wife.
"W-what happens when they do?" Misaki asked her and started to get up.
"She just sleeps more. Nothing else." Misaki sighed and thanked the young girl. "I'm studying to be a doctor in the hospital when I grow up," she said and brushed some of her dark black hair out of her eyes.
"Really? That's a nice dream. I want to be an athlete when I grow up," Kimi said, "So why are you in the hospital now?" she asked out of curiousity.
"I was born with a weak heart so I'm constantly here to be taken care of. It's nothing unusual," she said with a dull voice.
"Kimi, you can go talk to her if you want," Misaki said. Her daughter nodded and walked over to the girl on the other bed and enjoyed some conversation with her. "Takumi-koi, or, uhm... honey, when do you think Yui will wake up? Soon?" Misaki asked Usui.
"I'm not sure when she'll wake up, but I hope it's soon," he replied. He picked up Arata back from the bed and rocked him before putting him back in his carriage.
"Do you remember that time when I was pregnant with Yui and Kimi? We weren't expecting twins. It was a big surprise too, because remember, we told them not to tell us what the gender was from the ultra sound," she said and giggled before being wrapped around Usui.
"Mm... Mom..." Yui muttered. The couple didn't hear her, so they continued talking.
"When Kimi came out, Yui needed to too. That was one of the happiest days of my life, besides the pain that day," Misaki told him.
"Daddy... Ah..." Yui said. Now the two people in front of her heard. Kimi noticed that her sister started moving her feet a little, so she left the other girl to talk to her sister if she was possibly awake, and the girl didn't mind.
"Yui? Yui! Are you awake?" Misaki asked when she saw her head move. Her eyes opened up slowly, and she immediately yawned.
"Hi Mommy, Daddy and Onee-chan," Yui said when she opened her eyes completely.
"Yui-chan!" Kimi said and fell onto her, giving her a gigantic hug. Misaki smiled wide and hugged everyone. "Are you feeling alright?"
"Just a little sleepy, that's all. By the way... where did all my hair go?" she asked when she felt coldness on her head.
"They had to shave it all off..." Misaki said. Yui nodded and looked at her family and sat up.
"Mommy, Daddy, what did they have to do to me?" Yui asked when Kimi got off of her.
"They just did surgery, that's all we know, Yui. They probably did some treatments. I hope you recover soon, Yui!" Misaki said, "I love you, Yui."
"We all love you," Usui said, "And we hope for the best..." he said and trailed off.
"Daddy, am I going to die?" she asked with her eyes increasing in size. They all stood silent, too scared to answer.
"Yes, unless your body can fight it and the doctors give you strong medicine," the girl across from her bed said.
"Akane..." Kimi said. She had known her name from the conversation they had earlier, and it was the same name that Yui Tanaka's mom posessed. Yui Usui sat in her bed silent, just staring in front of her at the girl who was about her age. Akane brushed her hair back and took a book from the end table next to her bed. Her purple eyes blinked and started scanning the paper. It had been a book about the body.
"Is that true...?" Yui whispered.
"Yes, very true," Akane responded with her usual dull voice.
"I don't wanna die!" she screamed after staring for a couple more minutes. She immediately shed tears and she punched her weak legs.
"Yui, Yui! Stop!" Misaki told her, "No one wants to die, but you have a better possibility of beating this sickness since it's acute," she told her.
"W-what's acute?" Yui asked, curious to know.
"It's spread to only a small part of your body," Misaki responded. Yui nodded and wiped her eyes which were wet from tears. Her mother went and sat next to her on the bed and stroked her head.
"M-Mommy, how long will I be in the hospital?" Yui asked with her shaky voice.
"I'm not sure, Yui. It might take a while," she responded.
"But I want to see onee-chan play another soccer game..." the young sick child said.
"You will once you're out of the hospital, and she'll be so great that she can set the ball on fire when she hits it to the goal," Usui said and tried cheering Yui up. He looked at the clock and saw it had been three o'clock. That was when visitor hour was starting to end.
"Please, all guests who are visiting patients must leave. You are able to come tomorrow at five to seven o'clock, thank you for coming," a voice said that came from a speaker in the ceiling.
"I'm sorry, Yui. We have to go. We'll see you tomorrow!" Misaki said.
"OK, Mommy, Daddy and onee-chan. Have fun tomorrow. And have fun at school tomorrow, onee-chan," Yui said. Kimi gave her one more hug and left with her parents who gave her a kiss and hug. They all waved to her and left the room.
"Mom, can we go to the nearest floral shop? I want to give Yui a flower bouquets of her favorite flowers," Kimi asked.
