Am I Worthy?
-Chapter 10-
Staying By Your Side.
Kukai Pov
I was rushing to the hospital, on my bike as fast as I could, but at the sametime carefully so i wouldn't get a ticket. All I could think about was Hinamori and how bad she was. I'm scared for her safety and healty. I should have known something was wrong when I saw the bandages. I feel so stupid for not asking her sooner.
I finally arrived at the hospital and parked my bike. Then I rushed into the front desk.
"Sir can I help you?" The nurse asked.
"Hinamori Amu, Where is she?" I asked impatiently.
"Sir we are sorry, but Miss Hinamori is in surgrey right now" She explained with sadness in her eyes "But if you want, you can wait until the doctor has come out of the E.R."
I felt defeated and nodded. I walked over to an empty seat and sat there. I felt fear in me and I felt anxiety. I need to see Hinamori. I didn't want to leave her side. I wanted to now how she was, if she was going to survive. I need to talk to Ikuto he will calm me down. I think I need to get a hold of evil chibi too. She is her best friend its only right to.
So I decided to call Rima first because in my gut I knew it was the right thing to do. I got a hold of Nagi and pressed the call button, then waited.
It rang three times before he answered.
"Moshi, Moshi!" He answered.
"Nagi, Its Kukai' I said in a frantic tone.
"What wrong?" He said picking up the panic in my voice "What happened?"
"Its Amu" I said "Something happened I don't wanna explain right now. You know how to get a hold of Rima. If yes can you tell her that Amu's in the hospital?"
"What?" He exclaimed "Hime-sama is in the hospital again?"
"Again?" I asked stricken "What you mean again?"
"Hime-sama has been in the hospital countless of times" He explained "Is she alright?"
"I don't know" I asked honestly "Can you get a hold of Rima, please?"
"Of course no problem" He said "I have her in my contacts. She's my science partner."
"Thank you, call me back alright?" I said quickly.
"You got it." He said determiningly then hung up.
I sighed miserably.
'Hinamori please be alright' I said sending a pray to kami-sama "Please keep her alive for me please. I love her I don't want her to be out my life.'
I saw sitting quietly with the head my head bowed and looking at the floor. Not paying attention to my surroundings. Then I heard husky vioce talking to me.
"You a friend of Miss Hinamori?" the voice asked.
I snapped my head up to see a doctor looking at me. I stood up and nodded quickly.
"Is she alright?" I askd worriedly "How is she?"
"She's doing fine now" He said with reassurance "We manged to get all the glass out and she needed over 100 stitches. Has alot of bruising in the stomach area and back. Has fractured ribs and a fractured arm, but all in all she'll be arlight. She make a full recovery. She's resting now."
I winced when he gave me the update on the damages she has, but felt a big relief when I heard she was going to be alright.
"Thank you doctor" I said with a smile "Can I see her?"
"Yes you can" He said "But she won't be able to wake up for while. Shes going to be sleeping for the next two days so she can recover."
I nodded "I understand. What room is she in?" I asked.
"Room 111" He stated,
He started walking and guiding me to where Hinamori was, gesturing that I follow him. Which I did without hesitation. He continued to talk while we were walking.
"So will you be taking Miss Hinamori hom?" He asked quietly.
"Yes. That is if my dad doesn't mind it." I stated.
"Thats good because she has no family to go to." He said "Well she has a uncle, but other than that she has no one. So i was just making sure. Since her father got arrested for doing this to her."
"Yea" I growled a bit.
"Calm son, calm" He reassured "I knew something was wrong, but couldn't figure out what it was. She's had broken her arm more then once, ribs, concussion, lots of stitches, brusing. I know I can't blame you for getting angry. Child abuse is not a funny subject to talk about, but for her sake don't. Shes a kind and loving girl who doesn't want people angry."
"Sorry doctor. I didn't mean it" I said with a frown "I just can't help it. She's been through this that long and never told anyone. So I'm sorry."
"I understand" He said
We finally stopped in front of Hinamori's room and I couldn't help, but feel nervous.
"You may go in son." He said then walked away.
I tookd a deep breath opened the door slowly and walked in. I looked around the plain and cold rooon until my eyes finally landed on Hinamori. She had ivy and a blood bag hooked up into her arms. Her eyes were closed and nothing was moving except for the rise and fall of her chest.
I grabbed a chair and pulled up to the side of her head and held her hand gently. I looked at her face and found that there was only a few scratches on it and a little bruising, but even with that her face still looked heavenly. I couldnt help, but feel my heart speed up. She looked so delicate and peaceful when she slept.
"Your still beautiful no matter what" I whispered to her. "I'm sorry that wasn't there for you when you needed someone. When you needed to be protected most. I wish I have never left."
I felt a tear slide down from my face and I started to sob quietly. I began to stroke her hand with my thumb gently.
I contiuned "I hope you can hear me. I'm going to be taking care of you now. I'm going to be protecting and giving you the love that you deserve that didn't recieve all these years. I promise. I am not leaving your side. I love you Hinamori and I am staying with you."
I looked at her gently face and smiled adoringly at her. I leaned up and gently kissed her forehead.
"I promise" I whispered to her, then sat back down.
I just sat there in silence. Watching her rest, and holding her hand. Even though it was quiety and seemd sad. It wasn''t I couldn't feel even happier. I am with one I love and she''s safe.
About an hour or so the door opened. I guess I fell asleep because I felt someone shaking me. I looked up to see Nagi and chibi in the room.
"Huh?" I said groggily "How long have I been asleep?"
"You been asleep for about a half hour or so" The doctor said coming into the room.
"Wow that long?" I asked "What time is it?"
"About 5:30" Nagi said "The visting hours are almost over. We came as fast as we could."
"Amu?" Rima said quietly moving over to her side "Why didn't you tell me he beat you again?"
"You knew about this?" I questioned.
"I've seen him do it while I slept over at her housr" She said sadly "He didn't know, she pushed me into the closest. She was afraid he would hurt me as well. So she protected me when I couldn;t do anything. She kept screaming to me to stay where I was when I tried to come out."
"Why didn't you say anything to the police?" I asked in shock.
"I did they didn't believe me" She said sadly "They thought it was a prank."
"How would something like this be a prank?" I asked angerilly.
"Well now a days we can't help it" The doctor cut in "See sometimes teengares kind of play the boy who cried wolf thing. You know that sort of story. So when an actual serious matter such as this is true they don't believe it. We don't mean to."
We all hung our heads in silence
"I forgive you" I whispered "I'm pretty sure Hinamori wouldn't want us to doubt in others. She was always like this. Always utting others before hersefl. Especially protecting others like Rima."
Rima nodded and spoke up "She saved a little boy from being hit by a car and when she plays her violin at her work she makes them happy. She may seem cold at school, but she is not. She just doesn't want people to worry about her or come close to knowing what she is going through. I admire her for that, but she can't always do everything herself."
"I'm seeing a whole different side to Hime-sama" Nagi said softly "I never knew she was like that. She was just so quiet and rarely spoke to anyone, except for Rima."
"Shes many things Nagi" I said with a smile "If you let her get to know you and you gain her trust. You will see who she really is."
We all smiled and looked at the pink haired girl who was now looking at us wide golden eyes.
"Hinamori?" I whispered.
"Amu?" Rima said with her eyes wide.
"Yea she woke up early" The doctor said "I didn't want to interupt you. So Miss Hinamori how do you feel?"
The doctor moved over to the dazed Hinamori and she sat up slowly with a wince.
"I feel like lead and pain" She admitted, her voice ringing like bells.
"Can you move your body?" He asked
She moved her fingers and toes. The tried to sit up again, but winced more.
"Well your body is check, but from the bruising your not going to be moving for a few days" The doctor order "We will give you pain killers and becareful with you stitches. The lashes he gave you were brutual and we don't want those coming out."
"Aye aye sir" She said sarcastically "Sorry for causing you trouble again."
"No trouble at all" He smiled at her "We love your company here. Espceially when your violin is with you."
She smiled softly at him then she started frown "My fathers not home is he?" she asked.
"No" I answered for him "He got arrested. Hes being put away for a long time.
She turned worried "Where a I going to live now?" She asked.
"With me" I said with a grin "My father adores you. I'm sure he wouldn't mind you living with us."
Her worried expression didn't faulter "Your sure it'll be alright?"
"Of course. Your not a bother to me at all Hinamori." I smiled at her "You can trust me."
She lightened up her face and smiled brightly "Thank you Dax."
I ruffled her haird affectionately "Your welcome Joker."
Once again my hair started to thumpp really face and I began to feel heat rise in my cheeks.
'The girl I love is going to be living wiht me' I thought excitedly 'This is going to be quite something.'
