Sorry if it took sooooo long to update! Like I said in the previous chapter, I had a writer's block! Sorry 'bout that! Anyway, if some of you are confused, the one who shouted "aaaahhh!" and "Help! Help!" Was just a random person who found Shuichi's body in the alley! Anyway, going back to the story, here's chapter four!

XXXXXXXXX

Yuki just stood there as he saw Shuichi's battered body. The police where blocking the people. As soon as Yuki came to his senses, he pushed the policeman away and ran to the body. When one of them was about to stop Yuki, K pulled out his gun and threatened him to stop. "Please, leave him." He said as the policeman stopped.

Yuki pushed all the police who were checking him and held Shuichi in his arms.

"Oi! Brat! Wake up! Hey! Are you OK?" Yuki shouted as he swayed him back and forth. Shuichi, as he heard Yuki's voice, twitched. As soon as Yuki saw this, he said, "Take a hold of yourself! Don't give up on me now, Shindou Shuichi!"

He then glared at the people around him. "What are you waiting for? There is a man injured here! Where is that damn ambulance?" They all looked at each other with weird expressions. One of them, who was brave enough, stepped forward. "It will be here in a few minutes, sir." Yuki didn't mind him and focused his attention on Shuichi. Who did this to you? Damn, that dream… was a warning all right! Shit, it's my entire fault! I shouldn't have let you go alone! That letter, who ever was the sender, will surely regret everything! I will beat every in-

His thoughts were deeply interrupted by a hand on his shoulders. Yuki looked up to see who dared disturbed him.

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted you to know that Shuichi is in a critical condition. Please don't move him too much." Hiro said as he tapped Yuki's shoulder. "Don't worry, Shuichi is not dead yet. That is what I learned from the people you pushed away." K said as he interrupted the two.

"I know that…" Yuki said as he stared at Shuichi's face. Minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Yuki let go of his lover and let the doctors do their thing.

Two medics arrived and placed a stretcher beside Shuichi. Gently, they carried him onto it and carried him inside the ambulance. One doctor approached Yuki, "I suppose you would want to come with us?" Yuki nodded and rode with Shuichi. Inside, they did whatever they could do to help him live"(1) Yuki just stared at his lover and wished for the best. As soon as they arrived, they quickly went out of the ambulance and went inside the hospital. Yuki stayed outside the hospital bewildered about everything happening all at once.

He gently walked inside the hospital slowly. Step by step, he thought of possible outcomes. Shuichi being able to live but scared of the people around him. Shuichi being in coma for months. Shuichi being unable to walk… speak… sing… Or, for the worst case scenario, Shuichi not being able to survive. Wait, why is he thinking about negative thoughts? There is a 50/50 chance in this and all he thinks is Shuichi being unable to recover? Shouldn't he be wishing for the best?

Before he knew it, he was inside the hospital. He looked around and saw variety of people. Some were nurses, patients, doctors and relatives/friends waiting for news. He sat at the nearest chair he saw and started examining his surroundings once again. On his left was a woman crying. She was saying inaudible words. The only thing he understood was "lover", "gone" and "dead". He understood the woman cause he was in the same condition. On his right was a child on a wheelchair. Well, Yuki was sitting on the edge of the bench so the space on his other side was free. The child was a boy, he looked young yet pale. Yuki studied his face and as soon as the boy noticed him, he smiled at Yuki and he responded with a gentle smile on his face. Just as he was a bit more cheerful a doctor approached him.

"Mr. Yuki?"

"Yes?"

"Well, Mr. Shindou has been saying your name during the operation."

"Shuichi did?"

"Yes," the doctor replied as he checked through the papers," Well, Mr. Shindou was in a critical condition. He as an arm and a leg broken. Three of his ribs were also broken. He has several bruises around his body, too." The doctor stopped to examine Yuki's expression. It was bad. He has guilt written all over his face. His blonde hair covered his eyes. He was obviously depressed. "He was fortunate, though. None of his interior organs were damaged." He paused again to examine Yuki's face. Happiness was visible. "Well, that is Mr. Shindou's current situation. We did everything we can and now he is safe. It may change from better to worse so please take a closer look on him."

"Does that mean I can see him?"

"Yes, he is in the room," the doctor checked the paper for answers, "…509"

"Thanks." Yuki said as he ran to elevator.

"Oh, and one more thing," shouted the doctor to get Yuki's attention, "…please be quiet. He needs lots of rest." Yuki nodded and continued his journey to the "ROOM 509"

He arrived there in no time due to his perseverance. As he was about to turn the knob, something inside him was stopping him, but what?

As soon as he cleared his thoughts that nothing inside him can stop from getting to his lover anytime sooner, he was ready to turn the knob when…

"Bro!" a boy who looked like his twin shouted his name. Yuki glared at him for being noisy.

"Can't you be a bit quiet, Tatsuha? This is a hospital, you know."

"Sorry but I was in hurry! I heard that Shuichi was in the hospital an-"

"Yes, he is."

"And? How is he?"

"He's safe now. Though, he has several bones broken. That will take long to cure. Now be quiet. The doctor said he needs lot's of rest."

"Ok."

Yuki turned the knob, at last, revealing a plain white room. Everything was white. It was quite annoying. As soon as he took at least five steps inside the room, followed by Tatsuha, all attentions turn to Shuichi. He was in a bed, with lot's bandages around him. He was also attached to annoying machines. As Yuki went closer to Shuichi, something inside him stopped him again. After thinking for the reason, he came to conclusion that maybe it was fear. Fear of seeing another love one in pain. First it was his mother, Mitsuko, then Yuki Kitazawa, and now his whole life, Shindou Shuichi. While he was deep in his thoughts, a hand on his shoulders woke him up. It was Tatsuha.

"Don't worry, aniki."

"Who's worrying?"

"Ok, fine. I wonder why I even bother…" With those words from a person who always treated him normally, he was confident now. He was happy to know that lot's of people were also scared of thinking what would happen if Shuichi was in a bad condition. He took a chair near the bed and placed it beside the bed. He sat on it and examined Shuichi's face. He's not yet awake… Damn, whoever did this to you is gonna pay. Although I'm glad to hear you're all right. Don't give up now, Shuichi.

"Hey, bro, what do you think?" Tatsuha asked looking at Shuichi.

"What do you mean?"

"About all this. Who did this to him?"

"Well, I'm also thinking about that."

"Wow, I'm really surprised about this all… I mean, even after all those downfalls, he managed to survive… And, he is still with you…"

"And what do you mean by that?"

"You're so lucky… Shuichi is such a fighter… He overcomes every obstacle just to be with you, you know…"

I know… "Yeah…" Just to be with… me… about the letter, should I tell him? Maybe it's a bad idea… Who knows what he's gonna do?

"You know, I think he is fighting to be alive. I heard from the doctors that he was in 50/50 chance of living while having the operation. And now, he's in the safe side."

Fighting… Shuichi… "You kno-" he was interrupted when a boy, no, a man, in his thirties arrived with a bunny on his arms.

"Shu-cha-" K then covered Ryuichi's mouth and whispered, "Ryuichi, don't be so loud. Shuichi needs his rest." Ryuichi then nodded and said, "Kumagoro understands, too!"

"We've talked to the nurses and said that Shuichi was in the safe si-" Hiro stopped when he saw Yuki's glares. It was a "Say-another-word-and-I'll kill-you" glare." Hiro shuddered and signaled everyone to be quiet.

The doctor then arrived and told all of them that the visiting hours were over. Yuki asked the doctor, Mr. Keiichi, if it was Ok if he would stay for the night. The doctor nodded and went out of the room, followed by the others.

As soon as the room was cleared, Yuki returned to his pink lover. He sat there and stared at him for thirty minutes in estimation. He then cupped Shuichi's chin and kissed him.

"You know, Tatsuha is right. I'm fortunate to have you. And now, while you are in the hospital, all I can do is watch you suffer. What did I do to deserve you? I am the biggest bastard in the whole world, yet I have been blessed by having you. Shuichi, I hope for the best. I wish you would open you eyes. You're the only person who gave me such happiness in this world. No one is like you. Shuichi, I am really sorry for treating you badly even though I know that you know I… I…" Yuki couldn't finish his statement as soon as he saw violet orbs looking at him.

Shuichi?
