The police had come and took Ryoga and Ukyo to the nearby hospital. But on their way to the hospital, the police and some news reporters had asked him some questions about what happened and how was the girl with the brown hair connected to him and blah, blah, blah. After they arrived at the hospital, Ryoga couldn't stop thinking about that traumatizing situation Ukyo had been through. He was bandaged up and the wound on his shoulder blade was sterilized and patched up. Even though it was only a small wound, it hurt like hell. Despite all of his minor injuries, the doctors and nurses insisted that he should stay in the hospital for a few days. They were convinced that Ukyo was Ryoga's girlfriend after what the police had told the doctors that they found Ukyo's head on Ryoga's lap by the alley. Hell, they even put him in a room where it was just him and Ukyo!
"Ah… damnit! I can't sleep!" Ryoga whispered angrily as he sat up from his bed and put his hand on his forehead. Thank goodness the nurses discarded the bloody robe and gave him some hospital clothes. Even though the hospital clothes were as ugly as hell, Ryoga still preferred them to that white robe he wore earlier. He removed his hand from his face and looked at the sleeping girl covered with bandages and a cast on her neck on the bed next to his; she was still lying there motionless. Curiosity took over his mind; he slipped of bed and walked towards Ukyo's. He got on his haunches and rested both of his arms on the side of her bed as he crossed his arm. He glanced at her sleeping face and smiled softly.
"Damn, you can still manage such a peaceful face while you sleep, after what you had went through," He whispered as if he was talking to her. Then the moonlight suddenly hit his eyes and he looked up and saw a big, bright moon right by the window which was on the other side of Ukyo's bed. "Wow, what a beautiful night," he got up and walked over to the window. Suddenly wanting to open the window, he moved his fingers to the latch, flicked it open and opened a big enough gap of the window to allow his elbows to rest on the window sill. A gentle breeze of wind ruffled his hair; he breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly as if he was under a lot of pressure. After breathing in the fresh air from the cool night, he sighed softly.
"I wonder if Akane is looking at the beautiful moon just like I am," he smiled and looked at the moon. "Sweet, dear, Akane. I wish I could see that sweet face of yours soon."
After staying by the window for twenty or so minutes, he closed it and turned around. As he turned around, he was a bit startled and a slight blush formed on his cheeks. He pinched his nose just in case some blood had come out. In front of him, on Ukyo's bed, Ukyo had only moved the lower half of her body and kicked most of the blanket off of her. Why the hell did the nurses give her a damn gown instead of pants and top! Flip, the gown was basically right by her upper thigh, literally, it was RIGHT by her UPPER THIGH! After a minute of pinching his poor nose, he let go and gathered his courage and walked towards her slowly and silently. Because if she woke up… what the HELL should he say to her? 'Oh sorry Ukyo, you kicked the blanket off so I came by to cover you up…' HELL NO! She would totally get the wrong idea and slaughter me, he thought nervously.
He walked slowly and took the edges of the blanket and slowly pulled it up over the sleeping girl. After accomplishing the action, a smile of successfulness formed on his face.
"Phew… that was a close one," he wiped an imaginary sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, not even ten seconds had passed after covering her with the blanket; Ukyo mumbled something in her sleep, but Ryoga couldn't make out what she had said.
Ryoga thought Ukyo was beginning to wake up so not thinking straight, he tried to run away so she wouldn't see him by her bed and gets the wrong idea that he was trying to take advantage of her. He ran towards his bed and made a mad jump for it. Unfortunately he used too much force in his jump so he landed at the edge of his bed. He bounced off the edge and flopped onto the floor, where his blankets and pillows followed him. The whole scene caused a big crash. Suddenly the lights in the room switched on and followed by a nurse opening the door while holding a clip board.
"Uhm… excuse me sir, but is everything alright?" the nurse asked worryingly.
"Er… Y-Yes. E-everything is per-perfectly… fine!" Ryoga stuttered and got up halfway so the nurse could only see his upper body. He didn't realize it but one of his pillows was resting on top of his head. But that image only caused the nurse to be even more confused.
"Sir, forgive me for asking but what are you doing on the floor?" The nurse opened the door wider and took a step in.
"N-nothing really! I couldn't sleep so I decided to do some push-ups on the ground!" He answered nervously while quickly clearing the floor and started to do push-ups abnormally fast. Amazingly, even though he was doing the push-ups, that pillow still stayed on his head as if it was magnetic.
"Uhm… okay. But can you please keep it down so you don't disturb the other patients that are trying to sleep," The nurse walked out, closed the door softly and switched the lights off.
"Yes ma'am!" Ryoga called out softly but loud enough for her to hear him. After a few minutes of not moving a single muscle, he let out a big sigh. "Whew! Now THAT was a close call,"
He got up to redo his bed and noticed that he was missing a pillow. He bent down and the pillow on top of his head fell off, "Jeez, you want to appear whenever you feel like it hey?" He said as if he was trying to strike a conversation with his pillow. After making his bed, he looked at the girl next to him and walked over to her bed once again but this time he kept a little distance between them. He whispered softly to her, "You really like to give me heart attacks hey? Anyways good night, Ukyo," After that sentence left his mouth, he went back to bed and tried to go to sleep again.
Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Ryoga woke up. He sat up and rubbed the sleep away from his eyes with the back of his forefinger. He let out a yawn and he bent his neck to the side which made a loud cracking noise.
"Ag… dammit, my neck is so stiff it is practically killing me," he moaned as he rubbed his stiff neck and massaged it a bit. "I wonder what the time is…" He asked himself out loud as he was looking around the room for a clock.
Finally spotted one, he gasped as he realized what time it was.
Crap, how long was I sleeping and why the hell did nobody wake me up for breakfast or lunch? He asked himself as he could feel his stomach was about to demand food in any moments time.
Shortly after he had woken up, there was a knock on the door. Not knowing if he should answer or not, Ryoga kept his mouth shut and quickly slithered back into his bead and pretended to sleep.
"Mr. Hibiki. You have got some visitors," said the nurse from the previous night walked in with three other people behind her.
The bandana boy opened one eye to see who these three 'mysterious visitors' were; because no one has ever visited him when he was at the hospital in the past.
The 'three mysterious visitors' were no one other but his child hood friend, Ranma Saotome; his secret crush, Akane Tendo; and Akane's older sister, Kasumi Tendo.
After seeing who the 'mysterious visitors' were, Ryoga opened both eyes and slowly got up and a smile started to spread across his face because after all, they were his first visitors he has ever gotten.
After smiling at them, the nurse excused herself out of the room and left the them for some privacy.
"Yo, how you doing Ryoga," Ranma said cheerfully and gave the bandana boy a hard pat on his wounded shoulder.
"Aw! Dammit, Saotome! I am injured you ass!" Ryoga barked at the pigtailed boy who walked towards his other childhood friend, Ukyo.
After seeing Ranma walk towards Ukyo's side, Ryoga turned around worryingly to see if Akane wasn't getting jealous or anything.
Even though Akane maintained a smile on her face, Ryoga spotted the edge of her mouth twitched a bit.
"Ryoga! I am so glad that you are doing well after what had happened last night! We heard the news this morning on the T.V and decided to come and see how you are doing," said Akane in a very odd, cheery voice as she approached Ryoga's bed and sat on a stool next to his bed.
A slight blush appeared on Ryoga's cheeks but he knew better why his crush was being unusually friendly with him. It's not just because he is good friends with her but also she was trying to make Ranma jealous. That last thought would always make him depressed but he would push back that though to the very deep corner of his brain and ignore it. The injured boy in bed looked towards Ranma's direction for a few seconds and back at the beautiful girl in front of him before answering her.
"Th-thanks for coming here to visit me, Akane. I really appreciate it. As you can see, I am fine but with just a few minor injuries here and there," Ryoga looked down and scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Ryoga, I am glad to see that you are fine," Kasumi walked up to Ryoga from behind her sister.
"Oh, Kasumi. Thank you for coming over to see me," the blushing boy looked up to face Kasumi and gave her a warm smile.
Then out of nowhere, there was a loud growling sound. "Ag… dammit. Sorry I missed breakfast and lunch, cause these damn nurses didn't wake me up," The bandana boy held his stomach embarrassingly.
"Great, we are here just in time then," the older sister smiled as she reached for a big bowl in her basket that she was carrying earlier on, which Ryoga failed to notice. "Besides, I hear the food at hospitals is really bad," she added as she handed Ryoga the big bowl.
"I know, but sometimes you are hungry to eat anything," He gratefully accepted the home-made cooking by Kasumi because her cooking is always the best.
The injured boy looked down to see what food was installed for him. It was soup with a variety of vegetables, like: carrots, sweet corn, celery, potatoes, peas, onions and big chunks of chicken. It looked and smelled absolutely delicious.
Yap, this is definitely Kasumi's cooking, he thought as he inhaled the wonderful aroma.
Ryoga took the spoon which was already in the bowl and took a spoonful of the soup. Although he could feed himself but he experiences great difficulty due to his injured shoulder done by a certain bastard who he prays is in jail now.
Noticing that Ryoga was struggling, Akane offered to feed him because: 1- he needs help and she wants to help her injured friend. 2- She wants to make her fiancé a bit jealous.
"Don't worry Ryoga, I will feed you,"
"Ah-Ah It-it's f-fine, I can d-d-do it my-myself," Ryoga's face suddenly flushed red of shyness and embarrassment as he had dreamed for this moment to happen since he first fell for her.
"Don't be silly. Your arm is injured, it is natural that a friend like me should help you," The navy haired-girl smiled as she took the bowl of soup into her hands and started to stir the soup.
Oh my freckles! I can't believe this is actually happening! It is a dream that I thought would never come true! Being fed by the one I love. Oh joyous day! Ryoga thought as he accepted the fact that Akane was going to feed him.
Quickly, at the corner of his eyes, he could see Ranma was staring daggers at the two of them. Satisfaction flooded through him as he thought that he had beat Ranma by 'capturing' Akane's heart before him. Ryoga quickly gave Ranma a 'You-lose' smile and faced towards Akane as she was about to put a spoonful of soup into his mouth.
"Okay Ryoga, now say AHHHHHHHH…" The spoon was just a few inches away from his mouth.
"Ahhhhhhh…" He opened his mouth wide and was ready as ever to receive food given by an angel.
The spoon was literally a few centimeters away from reaching its destination, the bowl of hot soup suddenly slipped out of her hand and the contents in the bowl spilled all over Ryoga.
"AHHHHH! SHIT! SHIT! IT'S FUCKING HOT!" Ryoga yelled as he did not expect that to happen at all.
"Oh my Gosh! I am so sorry Ryoga! I didn't mean to do that!" Akane leaped out of her seat to find something to wipe the soup off of the burnt boy.
"Oh my goodness Akane. Oh my, I will call a nurse," Kasumi ran out to find some nurses.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh my GOSH! That is absolutely hilarious! Best thing happened today! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ranma started killing himself with laughter on the other side of the room.
The laughter didn't last that long as Akane threw the thing closest to her in Ranma's direction and it hit him across the face.
"Quit laughing you jerk!" Akane yelled as she could feel tears threatening to come out, but she bit her lower lip in order for her brain to focus on something else. Immediately Ranma kept his mouth shut from saying anything else.
After the heat sensation of the soup cooled a bit on Ryoga, Akane took some cloth from the nearby bed to wipe him clean.
"I am so sorry I messed your food on you," She said as she continued to clean the bandana boy.
"It's okay, really. Don't worry about it,"
"But what are you going to eat then?" The worried girl asked with concern in her eyes.
"Akane, don't worry about Pig Boy here. I got some cash with me to buy him something to eat at the food station near the entrance," Ranma came over to Ryoga and patted on his uninjured shoulder.
Ryoga tried his best not to bite the pig tailed boy as he just called him a very offensive name in front of Akane.
"No Ranma he cant't-" Akane objected.
"What else is he going to eat then?"
"Uhm… I… guess you're right,"
"But Pig Boy has to come with me because I don't know what kind of bread he prefers to eat," Ranma started walking towards the door.
"Stop calling me that Saotome!" Ryoga hissed.
"Fine, starve then,"
"Ahhhh… You are so annoying Saotome," the injured boy got out of his bed obviously irritated as hell.
"Besides, you must still keep that body of yours in shape even if you are injured. And also you won't get in the way of the nurses when they clean your bed," Ranma added as he dangled his arm over Ryoga's shoulders and acted as if they were best buds.
"Yeah whatever. Can we just go now? I am starving," Ryoga grumbled as he walked out of the door with Ranma.
As they were walking down the corridor, Ranma looked over his shoulder to make sure they were far enough from Ryoga's room and also to see if nobody can overhear what he was about to say to Ryoga.
"Ryoga, we need to talk," he said in a firm voice as he released his arm around the bandana boy.
