In the last chapter:
The first lash hit and it left behind a trail of fire across his skin. Again and again the lash struck. He couldn't hold back any longer. He screamed each time it hit. His leg long ago gave out, so he was dangling by the chains around his wrist. The next lash hit, and it snaked around to strike across his eye. He had long lost all sense of time and all reality beside the lash that kept striking against him. He was expecting the next hit to come, but it never did.
When he opened his one good eye, and couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Oh god Kaname. I'm so sorry we didn't get here on time. Let's get you out of here." Kaname couldn't believe it; the calvary had come to save them. The last thing he heard as his arms were being released was someone with a deep gruff voice telling everyone "Let's get them out of here and medical help immediately."
Lost Angel
Chapter 4
When Kaname woke up next, he was lying in a hospital bed. The first face he saw was not the one he wanted to see. The blond hair, green eyed noble, who was normally the happy, go lucky vampire was sitting in a chair next to his bed, sleeping. To him it looked like Takuma hadn't been sleeping as well as he normally did. Now a days, he resembled a raccoon with the dark circles under his eyes.
Yes, he was concerned for Takuma, but the most pressing matter at this moment was Zero. Where is he? He needed to know. He tried to move to go look for him, but found his body just wouldn't cooperate with him, which just pissed him off because it scared him to be this weak, even if Takuma was there. He then called out to Takuma. "Takuma, wake up. Takuma…" but Kaname got no response from the vampire in the chair.
"Takuma…" he called out but at this moment, he realized that his voice is just barely a whisper, and if the other vampire was exhausted, whispering so lightly isn't likely to wake him up. Just as he was getting ready to try something else, the door opens again, and in walks Aidou. As soon as the blond, blue eyed noble sees that Kaname-Sama is awake, he squeals loudly in excitement.
Takuma awoke with a start, ready to drag the other vampire out to yell at him, only to notice the reason for the squealing to begin with. Geez he was so tired, but he was happy to wake up to find his childhood friend finally awake. Now if only he can avoid the topic of Zero for a while, but he also realized that's not likely to happen.
"Takuma, where is Zero? How is he?" Kaname asked very desperate for any news. Yup, just as he thought, Kaname wasn't going to avoid the topic of Zero. "He's in ICU Kaname-Sama. He was beaten almost to the point of death…the child…I'm sorry,… but the child didn't make it. (Takuma looked away from Kaname) On the way to the hospital,… on the way to the hospital, he started hemorrhaging.(Oh god this was getting harder) When we got here, there was nothing the doctors could do, the child… I'm sorry, the child was already gone. I'm so sorry Kaname-Sama."
Kaname was stunned; the child he only just found out they were expecting was now gone, but right now he needed to focus on Zero. "Thank you Takuma, but tell me more about Zero. How long have we been here? What are the doctors saying about him?" Kaname asked, desperate to know that his beautiful mate was going to not only survive, but that things were going to be ok.
Takuma looked nervous, which didn't sit well with Kaname as the blond started to speak. "You both have been here for only half a day. He's lost a lot of blood and tried to give him liquefied blood tablet by IV, but his body rejected the solution immediately. I and a few others donated our blood to help stabilize him, but the doctors said that it wasn't going to be enough to save him. Right now, only time can tell. They have done everything they can for him. The doctors told me he's in a coma, Kaname-Sama." Takuma said.
Kaname could see the anguish on his friends face and needed to understand why he looked so tormented. He thinks he understands why, but he needed to ask. "Takuma, what is it. What aren't you telling me?" Takuma winced at the question but stated plainly, "There is nothing else to tell about Zero at this moment." Kaname realized he didn't ask his question correctly, to his embarrassment. His thoughts are on Zero after all. So he went for a different approach. "Is there anything else that you need to tell me or report besides Zero?"
Takuma hesitated before nodding his head yes, and hesitated again before answering. "Last night, we ran into trouble getting to you on time. The others and we had to fight our way into the house to get to you and Zero. Kaname-Sama, I'm so sorry. If we had been there in time, neither one of you would here." Takuma answer in the most sorrowful voice Kaname had ever heard from the usual cheerful vampire. It saddened him to hear Takuma blaming himself for the situation they were now in. It wasn't his fault.
"Takuma, what happened wasn't your fault. Rido obviously anticipated someone to come and help me and sent others out to block your way. It was Rido who treated us the way he did, that was not you. You had nothing to do with what happened. What you did do was fight your way with the others to get to us, and I believe you may have saved Zero's life.
You gave him a fighting chance. As for the baby he was carrying, again that was Rido's doing and he WILL pay for what he did. If anything, my dearest friend, I owe you my thanks with deep, heart-felt gratitude for everything you have done for us." Kaname finished with a smile.
The blond vampire smiled at his friend, thankful that Kaname wasn't blaming him, and the gratitude was a bit embarrassing since he felt it wasn't needed, but was wonderful to hear just the same.
It was at that moment that Cross came into the room with the doctor. "I came in to check up on you Kaname-Sama. If everything checks out fine I'll release you from the hospital." the doctor said. Kaname nodded his head in understanding and turned his attention to Cross. "I'm glad to see you have woken up Kaname-kun. I came to see you and to see if there was anything you needed." Cross said. "Yes, thank you. Where is Seiren? I have some tasks for her to do." Kaname said.
"She's right out side your room door. I'll get her for you while the doctor continues to do his check up." Cross answered. After a couple more minutes, "I'll go get your release papers ready for you Kaname-Sama. It should only take a few minutes." The doctor said. Kaname understood that to mean at least an hour unless he pushed it. He really wants to see Zero, so push for his release is just what he's going to do. "It had better be no more then two minute's doctor."
The doctor was very aware of the danger of ignoring that warning. "Yes Kaname-Sama, no more then two minute's. I will bring them in myself." the doctor said, bowed, and then ran out of there to get the paper work needed. Cross left the door open to allow Seiren in. "Seiren, I need you to take care of a task for me." Kaname said.
Two minute's to the exact second, the doctor was back with the release papers and after care instructions. "Kaname-Sama, to completely recover, please get some more rest and increase your blood intake by 1/3, for the next two days." The doctor instructed as he bowed again, ready to make his retreat back into his daily routine, only to be stopped by Seiren. She wiped his memory clean of his stay with the instructions to alter all records of the same. After that, she left to take care of the other task given to her by her Lord.
