Chunzi:...=A=
Gokudera: What is it now stupid girl.
Chunzi: I really wanted to stop typing this story so bad... And stop calling me STUPID!
Gokudera: Who do you think you are to tell me what to do. Hmph.
Chunzi: Whatever. Geez... From romance to blood splatter again. Kinda reminds me of School Days.=/
Yamamoto: I prefer Higurashi. ^_^
Chunzi: ...Errr...-_-' At least it's rated T for safety. Hibari-san! Slaughter that guy! MUAHAHAHAHA!
Ryohei: An evil laugh? That's EXTREEEEEME! I didn't knew you had it in you!
Week 4
A month has passed since the incident. Unfortunately, I still had to stay in the hospital.
This sucks, I can't move, I can't talk. How long am I going to be here anyway?
I tried moving an arm but my body refused to listen. I just sat on the bed mindlessly. I felt like I was zombified or something, if that's even a word. It was morning, I think. Little rays of light peered through the window. The nurse had left the curtain closed again when I was asleep last night. Geez, why not leave it hanging? It's not like anyone would break in, my rooms on the 12th floor after all. But Hibari-san has managed to break in a few times even when the window was locked…
I can't move around, all I can do was open and close my eyelids. I could only stare at the wall in front of me. The whole room was probably white, but it was so dark. Everything around me seemed grey. When I open my eyes, I see darkness. I see the same dull wall before me, only to remember that I'm in the hospital. I then remember falling off the cliff. It's been going on like this everyday. Can someone go on like this forever? I can't. I wanna go home. Staying here just depresses me, but at least my friends visit me often. Especially Hibari-san, he breaks- VISITS me everyday. He brings me different things, mostly flowers. I'm really happy when he comes. I always wait patiently for him to arrive before I fall asleep at night. He gives me small kisses everytime, now it was like a ritual for him. He sits beside my bed and writes things on a notebook. I wonder what he always writes in it.
"Tsuna-san~" Ugh… That voice… Someone slid the door opened slowly and came in.
"Tsuna-san, Tsuna-san! How are you feeling today? Any better? Are you hungry? Do you want me to feed you? Heehee." Haru giggled. I really wanted to decline her but I couldn't talk, I couldn't even make a frown. Seems like she wins this round… Aye… "I brought some leftover fried rice from my house. It's really tasty, Haru's mum cooked it. Haru helped as well!"
Haru sat on a chair beside me. She took out a container and opened it. I could smell the aroma of fried rice drifting my way. Wow, it smells really good. She happily scooped a spoon of rice towards me. But before it even reached my mouth the door of my room was slid opened forcefully.
"TENTH!" Not another one…
"What! Why are you here stupid girl!" Gokudera shouted at Haru, I can tell he was angry.
"Who are you calling stupid girl, meanie!" She scolded back. The spoon of fried rice moved away from my mouth.
"What are you even feeding the Tenth anyway? You didn't put in poison did you!" My Storm Guardian shot Haru a suspiciously look. Trust me, it's easy to figure out what expressions they make when you're around them for a long time.
"It's leftover fried rice from dinner last night. It's still good and taste delicious. Okay Tsuna-san, say ah~" Haru moved the spoon closer to me.
"Stop it! The Tenth doesn't want any leftovers! And don't you know fried rice is too heavy for breakfast? You're a girl, how do you not know this?" Gokudera came up to my bed and lectured her.
"Hahi! I-I didn't know." The spoon retreated back. Oh come on! I'm starting to get hungry here with all the food talk!
"I brought some porridge for you Tenth. Hope you get better soon." Gokudera gave me a cheerful smile while holding a plastic bag.
You know, he can be pretty charming sometimes. Wait! I did not think that Gokudera is charming! Gah! What's wrong with me today? (NOOOO! You can't Tsuna, you have Hibari-san!)
"Alright, I'll feed Tsuna-san then!" Haru said happily, reaching for the bag.
"No way in hell I'll let you feed the Tenth!" Gokudera raised the plastic bag out of Haru's reach.
"Then what? Are you going to feed Tsuna-san?" Haru pouted.
"Uggh… I-It's… too much of an honour to feed the Tenth…" Gokudera lowered his head. "But that doesn't mean I'll let you feed the Tenth so easily!" He raised his voice at her.
Great, they're gonna argue over who's gonna feed me and I'll just starve here… While they were arguing, another person came into the room.
"Yo, morning everyone. Morning Tsuna." A cheerful carefree voice greeted us. I was really relieved to hear that voice. "I brought sushi from my pop's shop again. Pops wanted me to tell you to get better soon Tsuna." My Rain Guardian came up to my bedside. Gokudera gave him an irritating look but Yamamoto just laughed.
Soon, two more people stepped into the room, "An EXTREMELY good morning, SAWADA!"
"Good morning Tsuna-kun." You could tell my heart skipped two beats when I heard that sweet voice. The machines around me could prove it to you since it beeped twice. I really felt like blushing if it wasn't for my emotionless face. (NOOOOOO! You just can't Tsuna! HIBARI-SAN!T_T)
"Tenth isn't gonna have sushi early in the morning!"
"Is that fried rice Haru-chan?"
"Yes, you wanna try some Kyoko-chan? I was going to feed Tsuna-san some."
"Wow! Sushi, fried rice and porridge at the same time? That's EXTREME Sawada! I didn't know you could stomach down that much! Let's have an EXTREME eating match next time!"
"Maa maa Gokudera, sushi has rice too you know. Tsuna needs energy to get through the day."
And~ their conversation kept going on and on and on… while I'm still starving here… And can someone PLEASE hang the curtain! It's still so dark in here!
"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt you." A doctor walked into the room surprising everyone. "Pardon me, but it's time for Tsunayoshi Sawada's checkup."
"O-Oh, sorry. We'll leave now then. Come on lawn head, baseball nut, we have to leave the room." Gokudera looked at Onii-san and Yamamoto spitefully before turning to me, giving a smile.
One by one, all of them went out the room after giving me a final glance. They left the food they brought on the table. I was now alone with the doctor. I know I should give my thanks towards the doctor who saved me and for everything he did for me, but… Why does my hyper intuition act up everytime he approaches me?
Like it's telling me…... he's dangerous…
"Alright Sawada-san, it's time for your injection." The doctor smiled at me warmly as he took out a needle from his lab coat. "Your shot this time might hurt a little more than the previous times I gave you. But please bare with it." My hyper intuition acted up again, this time stronger.
It really felt like it's telling me to get away from him right now.
My heart beat faster as he slowly approached me, the machines beeped faster too. "Oh, do not worry Sawada-san. The pain won't be long I assure you." The doctor told me calmly, "It won't be long until I send you to your resting place Vongola Decimo…"
W-Wait! D-Did I hear that right? Vongola Decimo? He sounded evil just now!
The machines around me started beeping uncontrollably, I felt that 'doctor' coming closer. He took baby steps, just taunting me. I could feel that he was making an evil grin.
Not good, I can't move! S-Someone! Gokudera-kun, Yamamoto-kun, Onii-san. ANYONE!
"It's useless to struggle Vongola Decimo. Over the course of days, I had injected a powerful poison into your system. Resulting you to lose your emotions and shutting down most of your nervous system. But you were always conscious the whole time." His shadow started to loom over me, he was already at my bedside. "My mission was to kill you in an instant, but I rather take everything slowly. I love seeing my victims suffering before they die." The doctor suddenly put away his needle. He shuffled through his coat pocket grabbing something.
What is he going to do with me? I suddenly felt a drop of liquid dropped onto my hand. What is this? I-It BURNS! W-What! It hurts it hurts it hurts! A little steam was seen.
"It's too bad I can't see your hurt expression right now, I bet it would be priceless. Hahahahaha!" The man grabbed my hair and yanked my head. "Doctors, doctors, doctors… You trust your lives to them. But did you know some doctors hide the fact that they failed and messed up too? They never release the news of their failures into public as well. So then… Why me?"
Huh? What?
"The Vongolas all piss me off. Just because I messed up on an operation once, a subordinate of Vongola Nono's died. I just messed up ONCE! The news about me failing in an operation spread like wild fire around town and they all banished me from Italy, my hometown!" He yanked my head harder, his big hand that gripped onto my hair tighten. "I detest the mafia, I detest the Vongola Famiglia! I'll kill their next heir, just watch. Hahaha…..."
He really has gone nuts! He made a wide evil grin, his eyes showed insanity. He held a small bottle closed to my face. I didn't like it when I read the label, 'ACID'. Dammit, I still can't move!
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Hibari looked up the sky, the clouds became darker. Maybe there might be a storm soon. He was going to visit Tsuna at night again but he felt something telling the raven haired teen to get to the hospital now. He ignored the feeling a few times and rested on the rooftop. He couldn't sleep since that feeling just kept nagging at him.
How annoying… Hibari sat up, still feeling uneasy.
"Hibari, Hibari!" A small bird flew down and landed on the Cloud Guardian's hair. Hibird pulled on his hair with its beak. "Hibari, Hibari, Hibari!"
The raven haired teen felt Hibird pulling on his hair, he shook the bird off and watched it flapping its wings nonstop. "Hibari, Hibari, Hibari!"
Is it trying to tell me something?
"Tsuna, Tsuna!"
Yeah, Tsunayoshi's in the hospital, I know. Hibari lied on the cold floor again, but Hibird was persistent. It kept calling out Tsuna's name louder each time.
"TSUNA, TSUNA, TSUNA, TSUNA!"
What is it? The raven haired teen sat up again and glared at the bird. He was getting annoyed by its relentless cries of Tsuna's name.
"DOCTOR! DOCTOR!" This time the mention of a doctor grasped the disciplinary chairman's attention.
Doctor? The same doctor that operated on Tsunayoshi? Hibari started to feel the same nagging sound inside his head telling him to get to the hospital right away.
Hibird flapped its wings harder, crying out something that made Hibari got up and ran towards the hospital immediately. "DANGER! DANGER!"
Tsuna was thrown onto the floor like a ragged doll. The machines around him were all shut down making no beeping sounds. He couldn't move as the doctor came closer, his body wouldn't let him. The brunette's skin burned, it felt like it was melting. The Sky Guardian wanted to shout and scream in pain but he couldn't make a sound. His mouth gapped open and nothing came out.
"Smart of me to cut off all security cameras in here huh? This room's also sound proof too. By the time someone gets here it'll be too late for you." The doctor stepped on the brunette's head. He shifted his head sideways so Tsuna was able to see him. Though Tsuna showed the same expressionless face, his eyes were full of fear. The man took out his needle from his lab coat, the other hand was still holding onto the bottle of acid. "It really is no fun when my victims don't yell and cry out in pain." The doctor smug as he knelt down closer to the brunette.
Stop it! Please… Stop! Someone… Tsuna felt the man's foot stepped harder on his head. He wanted to burst out screaming. His throat was dry, his gorge sting. He sucked in more oxygen then the brunette could have.
"So, this is goodbye then, Vongola brat…"
"HIBARI-SAAAAAN!"
CRASH!
The window shattered behind the 'doctor'. The man was alarmed by both sounds at the same time. This boy wasn't supposed to make a sound! Before he could turn around and glance at the intruder, he was struck on the head and sent flying into the wall. The man's head smashed against the solid wall and he fell down. The bottle of acid in his hand was still uncapped and it spilled over him. The man screamed at the top of his voice when the acid made contact with his eyes. It stung his pupils, blinding him as well. But it wasn't over yet. An enraged raven haired teen tightened his grip on his tonfas, he saw Tsuna lying on the floor badly hurt.
The boy who yelled out his Cloud Guardian's name just looked up from his position to see a tall figure. He didn't need to guess who it was, he knew it was Hibari, the person who always took care of him like he promised. A tear fell from Tsuna's eye, he was relieved. Hibari caught sight of the tear, he became even more provoked. He glared at the 'doctor' who held up his hands closing his eyes.
I'LL KILL HIM!
Hibari lunged forward and swung his tonfa powerfully, bashing the man's head into the wall. He continued smashing him into the wall until he left the person in a bloody mess. The man's head oozed out blood. He was soon covered by dark red liquid, the doctor's once white lab coat was now stained red. His mouth gargled with his own blood, his eyes opened to reveal red eyeballs and grey pupils, they were probably caused by the acid.
The raven haired teen breathed heavily, inhaling the scent of blood. He was still fuming. Hibari's hands and tonfas were covered with the man's blood. He glared down at the unmoving body before he gave it another forceful kick.
"H-H… Hi…" The raven haired teen heard Tsuna's soft voice. It was more like a whisper but Hibari heard him nonetheless. He rushed to Tsuna's side immediately, his infuriation now replaced by worries for the small boy. He was still hurt after all. "Hi...H-Hi..." Tsuna struggled to speak, but everything came out in squeaks and mumbles.
"Shhh… Save your breath, I'll get the nurse." Hibari carried Tsuna up carefully, making sure that he didn't touch any of Tsuna's wounds.
He placed him gently on the bed. His hands stained the brunette's clothing. He wiped away the shattered glass on the bed, not caring if the pieces cut him. Hibari then took off his jacket and placed it over the Sky Guardian's body before he walked out the room. Tsuna was now staring up the ceiling, he didn't know what to think. Should he be relieve after Hibari came and save him? Or should he pity on that doctor just now who tried to kill him. He was kicked out of his hometown afterall. And it was from the mafia… His famiglia…
…...
The ceiling's much whiter than the wall…
I sat beside him. It was already nightfall. He continued staring at the ceiling, his eyes not moving. Tsunayoshi still wore the same blank expression. The nurses had moved him to another room while they cleared the one we were in before. They swore secrecy about everything that happened. Either they were kind enough to do that or just scared they would end up like that fake doctor as well.
My hand reached out and stroke off some of Tsunayoshi's hair that was covering his face. As always, there was no reaction. I should've known something was wrong with that doctor, but I was blinded by my trust in him. I trusted Tsunayoshi's life in someone else's hand and this happened. That's why I don't exchange trust with everyone so easily.
I lowered my head, I felt another surge of anger build up in me.
"Hibari-san…" A soft murmur of my name surprised me. I looked up at Tsunayoshi again, the boy's eyes were closed now.
Guess he was already asleep. I watched him silently, he breathed normally. All his wounds were cleaned and bandaged. It would heal in three days, one of the nurses stated. I leaned in closer to him and kissed his forehead softly.
I thought I heard the boy muttered "Thank you" under his breath.
Chunzi: The part about the acid reminds me of Jigoku Shoujo Season 2 episode 1.
Gokudera: I knew that doctor was suspicious! Dammit, I should've just stayed by the Tenth's side...
Chunzi: Gokudera...
Hibari: I killed that guy anyway.
Chunzi: Yeah, I-I think you overdid it Hibari-san...^_^'
Hibari: You have a problem of how I do things herbivore. *grinds teeth*
Chunzi: REVIEWS PLEASE!O_O''
