Chapter 4

As Danielle and Jade ran towards Junno's room they met up with Kita, Koki, Abbi, Lia and Ueda. As only two were allowed in the room with him Danielle chose Jade to be with her. The rest of the gang waited in the little room down the hall that was for waiting.

On the way there was a mutter of concerns and there were a few sniffles from the girls and even Ueda.

'IN THE PATIENTS ROOM'

Fortunately Maru-Sensei was the Doctor in charge of Junno and all his treatments, he felt it was hard as they were very close friends.

'Sensei what's wrong with my Junno?'

Danielle voice was broken, she had started crying again and she was shaking really badly.

Jade walked over to where Danielle stood, gently glancing towards Maru. Even in this situation Jade was in awe, she had never seen Maru working apart from when she was the one being treated my him. Jade led Danielle to a chair by Junno's bed. She dropped into the chair and instantly took Junno's uninjured hand in hers. She started to cry again.

'Junno...JUNNO wake up. I need you. You can't leave me. JUNN...' she couldn't continue, her tears were running freely now. Jade reached into the bedside cupboard and took out some tissues and passed one to her.

Jade walked around the bed to sit in another bedside chair and Maru pulled one up next to her. He smiled at her and patted her knee.

Maru spoke and not in his normal cheerful voice. He was businesslike and really official.

'Well Junno's condition seems to be stable. As you know he has suffered three broken ribs and a fractured wrist and also he has been unconscious for six hours. We have been giving him painkillers and anti-inflammatory for a small amount of swelling on his brain but even that has started to decrease in size. Now are there any more questions?'

Danielle sniffled and blew her nose.

'No not at the moment. But I can stay with here with him right?' she seemed really keen not to leave his side.

Maru stood, nodded his head at her question and motioned for Jade to follow him.

Jade followed Maru out of the room to update the others on Junno's condition. As soon as they were out of their room Maru sighed loudly and rubbed his eyes. Jade came up behind him and hugged his waist. She hated to see him so stressed and tired as he had been sleeping in the on-call room.

'Hmm.' He spun and took her into his arms, kissing her passionately.

When they were finally finished they walked down the hall and into the waiting room.

Abbi and Kita were sleeping both leaning against Koki who was still awake staring at the distant wall. Lia was drawing in her book with her legs over Ueda's (didn't take them long to get together). Ueda was almost asleep, his eye lids fluttering. There were also two new additions to the group. Yuya and Hikaru were sitting on the opposite side to Koki, sharing headphones listening to some music from Yuya's IPod Touch.

As soon as Koki saw Maru and Jade stood in the doorway he stood up causing Abbi and Kita to fall into each other. They both instantly awoke, standing up and looking dazed.

'What's wrong with him? Will he be ok?'

Maru held up a hand. 'He'll be fine. He's still unconscious but stable. If you wish...' he couldn't finish his sentence.

Danielle came running into the room. 'Maru-sensei...He...He moved his eyes. It looks like he's waking up.'

Everyone stood at her news and ran out the door, down the hall and into Junno's room.

When they got there they were surprised to see him trying to sit up in bed. His IV's were still attached but being pulled at with him trying to move.

When he finally realised that he wasn't alone he jumped.

'Where am I? What happened?'

'Junno your awake!' Danielle walked forward so she was standing next to him.

They looked at each other in the eyes and Junno smiled warmly at her. Danielle couldn't control herself she threw herself onto him.

'Junnosukbe.' She screamed.
