Sunday came, Yumi walked to the hospital. It was pretty early so she didn't want to take car. Her parents needed to go to work today.

I hope Senpai is okay. I hope his recovery is easier than expected. I wonder if Honey Senpai will be there.

Yumi was nervous about seeing Mori in the hospital. It was that she was seeing him vulnerable and in pain. Yumi hates to see people she cares about in pain.

Yumi took a deep breathe and walked into the hospital.

"Um excuse me."

"Yes how can I help you?" The receptionist said to her.

"I'm looking for Takashi Morinozuka. He had appendectomy last night."

"Yes, fifth floor room 502."

"Thanks."

She walked towards the elevator. She was incredible concerned. Yumi was used to seeing Mori calm and never showing any fear. She didn't know what to say seeing him in pain in a hospital bed.

I hope I don't cry when I see him.

She walked out of the elevator and stood in front of his room. Yumi gulped and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" Yumi recognized Honey's voice.

"Uh, it's Yumi, Honey Senpai."

"Oh come in Yumi Chan!"

Yumi came in to see Mori laying down watching the TV in his room and to find Honey sitting at the foot of the bed with a cupcake in his hand.

"Hi Yumi. We're glad you could stop by." Honey said smiling at her.

"Hi Honey. Hello Senpai."

"Hello." Mori said back to her. Yumi smiled back.

"I told you Takashi she got a new haircut, doesn't she look nice?" Honey asked.

"Yes." Mori said politely.

Yumi sat in the chair next to Mori's bed.

Wow Senpai looks like nothing bad even happened. That proves he's…a brave person.

They were all watching movies and what ever was on TV to pass the time. Yumi felt some awkwardness in the air, but it could easily be ignored.

It wasn't long before Honey fell asleep at the end of the bed.

"I'll wake him up so you'll be more comfortable." Yumi said getting up.

"Uh I'm fine just leave him" Mori said. Even though he was about to go into panic mode his voice didn't change from the steady rhythm he always speaks.

That was close. If only she knew what would've happened.

"So Senpai where are your parents?" Yumi asked trying to make conversation.

"Getting some rest. They've been up late last night."

"Oh. I'm sure they were."

"Hmm."

Yumi wasn't sure what else to say at this point.

Now that I've thought about it I wonder what his parents look like. I even wonder who he looks like more, his mom or dad.

"Have you been getting plenty of rest? You did have surgery and all."

"Yeah."

"That's good. You deserve rest for everything you do?" Yumi said deeply concerned.

"Hmm?" Mori was confused at this point.

"With the host club, kendo club, taking care of Honey Senpai, and finding time to get good grades on your school work. A good person like you deserves a break once in a while."

Mori focus all of his attention to what she was saying.

"I've read some of school records in the library and I hear the nice things the girls say about you. How you would help them when they needed it and how good your grades are and even you dedication to Honey, the host club, and the kendo team."

Mori was in slight shock from this compassion. He hasn't heard this kind of compassion from a girl he's only known for a week, maybe a little less.

"You're a real good person Senpai, a real good person." Yumi said realizing she was so close to Mori.

Maybe love at first sight is real.

Yumi blushed and bowed her head. "I'm sorry I'm speaking out of term. I'm going to get something to eat, I'll be back soon, I promise."

She walked out of the room feeling like an idiot.

Why do I always do that? I can't do that. How am I supposed to be a good nurse if I-

"Uh excuse me"

"Yes!" Yumi screamed she was startled by the voice.

"Oh you're one of the Watanabe girls aren't you?" Yumi recognized the person now. It was Haruhi from the host club.

"You're one of the host club members aren't you?"

"Yes I am." Haruhi answered. Yumi was unaware that Haruhi was a girl. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit Morinozuka Senpai after his appendectomy. Are you here to see him to?" Yumi asked.

"Actually my father's boss is here for an operation we were visiting, I was going to stop by later. Where are you going now Yumi Senpai?"

"I was getting hungry so I wanted to get some food."

"Yeah me to."

Wow he's pretty short for a dude and he has big eyes for a guy too.

One thing led to another and they were on there way to the cafeteria together.

"Yumi, you and Mori Senpai must be good friends." Haruhi asked.

"I suppose." Yumi replied.

"Then how come you never call him by his name?" Haruhi asked. It was a un called for question.

"Doesn't everyone including you call him Mori? Plus don't you call Tamaki Suoh just Senpai as well?"

"Okay you got me on that one." Haruhi said realizing it's true. "I suppose it's just a habit. My mother told when I was a child how to show respect, before she died."

Yumi's eyes widened. Yumi knew if she lost her mother as a child she wouldn't be the same person she is.

"You lost your mother?" Yumi asked.

"Yeah I was about fives. So it was at least ten years ago."

Why? Why do bad things happen to innocent people? Haruhi probably never did anything wrong and probably won't do anything horribly wrong in the future. Like Takashi he hasn't done a thing wrong and he was recently near death if his appendix had burst. A person who you love and care about can easily be taken away from you.

"Uh Haruhi, I need to do something important. I'll just grab something to eat from the vending machine. I'll see you at school." Yumi said already walking back.

"Okay. I'll see you then." Haruhi said continuing to walk.

Yumi remembered a vending machine on the same floor where Mori was recovering. She was walking so fast she was almost running.

Takashi nearly died. I almost lost him. His parents almost lost their eldest son. We could've never had our first date and worst Honey would've lost his cousin, the person who he's so close to. I need to tell him how I feel soon. Or it might be too late. Like one of my favorite songs "Live like we're dying".

Yumi opened the door to Mori's room. She pushed it so hard it almost flung opened. She discovered everything was left the way she left it. Honey was still asleep and Mori was almost in the exact same position.

"Hi Senpai" Yumi said almost out of breathe.

"Hello." Mori said back. He got a good look at her and he thought she looked exhausted.

Did she run the entire time?

"I'm sorry Senpai but I have to go home now my family must be getting worried. Don't worry I'll visit you tomorrow after school."

I want to stay with him but I need to go home. I hope Jun didn't hurt anyone yet and I hope Momoko doesn't try to calm her down. I cannot repeat of last time.

"That's fine."

"Bye Sen- I mean Mori." Yumi turned around to leave.

"Please" Mori said. Yumi was startled and jumped a little. She turned around to make contact. "Call me Takashi."

"Okay. Goodbye Takashi I'll see you tomorrow.
