Thank you guys for all of your views and reviews. I was able to push this chapter out ASAP with the inspiration I got from you guys. Now on to the annoying disclaimer. Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran Highschool Host Club. Bisco Hatori has all rights to it. Ocs and other plot line belong to me.
Long wait
The next day, the host club anxiously waited for classes to be over. All thoughts wandered back to Mikazuki's sickly form and severe illness. The host club even canceled club activities today so that they could visit Mika as soon as possible.
Of course…the girls were disappointed that hosting was postponed for the evening. Some even questioned why, but no of them received an exact answer, so they just left it be for now.
Hours upon waiting had finally paid off. The school's bells chimed, signaling for the lessons to be finalized and for club activities to be put into motion. However, the host club had a different agenda to take care of.
Quickly exiting the building, the members of the host club piled into one limo and took off toward the hospital. The whole entire ride was silent, but everyone was contemplating the same issue.
They all speculated if Mikazuki was doing any better from the ordeal last night. Though there was a major chance that things did get worse, but none of the host club wanted to take that into consideration.
Arriving at the hospital, the hosts exited the luxurious vehicle and made a bee-line to 315A: Mika's room. Have a reoccurring sense of déjà-vu, Mika was once again propped up on fluffed pillows.
Her skin was still extremely pale and she had dried blood on each corner of her mouth as if she was coughing blood before they arrived to the hospital. Bangs were pushed out of her face and her long black hair spilled over the pillows and bed creating a raven halo.
Her eyes were closed, hiding those lovely rose colored eyes. The dark circles underneath them, however, remained. Her chest heaved up and down as the heart monitored beeped at the rhythm of her heart.
Honey sat on the left side of the bed while Haruhi took the right. Everyone else grabbed chairs and placed them near the bed. Honey, being mindful of the ivs, grasped Mika's hand in his, giving it a light squeeze.
Haruhi occupied herself by running her hand through Mika's long inky tresses.
For thirty minutes, they all sat in complete utter silence. No one spoke until a doctor entered the room to check up on the patient. Tamaki was the first to speak.
"Doctor…how is she?" asked Tamaki.
The doctor sighed before answering Tamaki's question.
"Last night after you guys left the hospital grounds, the girl had several reoccurring episodes. They were all worse than the last," the doctor explained. He moved to check on the ivs.
"I had nurses keeping a close eye on her, but some time during the night…she slipped into a coma."
"A…coma," Tamaki sputtered out, eyes widened.
"What brought this on? And when will she awaken?" asked Kyoya. Not once did his eyes leave the doctor. He made sure the doctor was doing everything correctly and not making Mikazuki's condition worse.
Still checking Mika's vital signs, the doctor answered, "The patient has a rare type of disease that provokes her persistent coughing and ultimately vomiting hemoglobin. It's kind of like tuberculosis, just…worse. We don't know anything about this rare illness, so…there isn't any cure. For when she awakens…there isn't an exact time."
Done checking everything, the doctor moves on to a chart hanging at the foot of the bed. He scribbled something on it before further explaining.
"It could be days, weeks, months,… even years prior to her awakening, but that is entirely up to her will."
"So there is no telling when, huh," said Hikaru as he studied the girl.
"And waking up is entirely up to her," stated Kaoru as he mimicked his brother.
Nodding his head in confirmation the doctor placed the chart where it belonged before asking if they had any more questions. Having a flashback to the incident before, Haruhi asked a question that was long overdue.
"One day, we saw here crying…except her tears weren't clear. It appeared she was crying blood. I there something wrong with Mika's eyes?"
The doctor looked at Haruhi having a meditative look upon his face. Closing his eyes, he answered.
"There is nothing wrong with her eyes. However, it sounds like she has haemolacria which is a physical condition in which a person produces tears that partially contain blood. It's not life threatening, so there isn't anything to worry about."
"Oh…that's good to know."
The doctor left, leaving the hosts in the room with the comatose girl. Since they had no clue when Mikazuki would wake, the host club devised a plan.
"So what shall we do until Mikazuki-chan awakens?" asked Tamaki as he moved closer to the girl.
"We can't keep canceling our host duties. It would result in a decrease of customers and wouldn't go well with the ladies," calculated Kyoya.
"How about we each take days off from the club to watch Mika-chan…just in case she wakes up," suggested Haruhi.
"That's a great idea Haru-chan!" beamed Honey.
"That's a wonderful thought Haruhi. Come here and give daddy a hug!" said Tamaki with his arms spread wide.
Sweat dropping, Haruhi said, "No way sempai."
Tamaki goes into his emo corner of woe.
"So which days do we take?" asked Hikaru and Kaoru. Pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose, Kyoya contemplated how they should go about the days.
"I can stay on Wednesday."
"Tomorrow, I can visit. Besides, dad has been wanting to visit ever since I told him what happened," stated Haruhi.
"We can do Thursday," suggested the twins.
"Me and Takashi can stay on Friday," chimed Honey.
"So…all that leaves are Tamaki and the weekend," stated Kyoya.
Tamaki, who returned from his emo corner of woe, pleaded to come with Haruhi. He even gave her the puppy eye look until she finally caved.
"Now for the weekend."
"I guess whoever wants to visit can come as long as they want and leave whenever," said Hikaru.
"Now all we have to do is explain to the customers why certain hosts are missing," said Kaoru.
Agreeing with the plan, the hosts focused their attention back on the passed out girl. Visiting hours soon came to an end, and everyone left to go home.
All anxiously awaited for their turn to visit Mika.
Tuesday
Haruhi, Tamaki, and Ranka made their way to the hospital. Directing Ranka to Mika's room, his eyes laid upon the pale unconscious girl.
Running to the girl's bed side, Ranka took a brush out of his purse and began to brushing Mika's long hair. Tamaki placed a vase of roses on a counter on the left side of the medical bed.
Haruhi took a seat next to her father and rubbed Mikazuki's hand.
Wednesday
Kyoya came by with a bouquet of flowers and set them next to Tamaki's vase full of roses. He asked the nurse who was attending to Mika at the time for an update on her condition.
When the nurse left, Kyoya took a seat next to Mikazuki and held her hand while pleading for her to wake up.
"Please…please wake up soon.'
Thursday
Today was Hikaru and Kaoru's turn to visit Mikazuki. When the twins arrived, they were surprised to see their mother in the room.
"Mom what are you doing here?" asked Kaoru.
"How do you know Mika-chan?" asked Hikaru.
looked at her sons for a brief moment, then she moved her gaze back to Mikazuki.
"I am her make-up artist and I help her with her costumes. You guys should have known that. I mentioned her to you a couple of times, so I guess you must have forgotten. I finished making an outfit that she designed. I…brought it here, figuring that…she would probably want it when she wakes," she explained.
Moving on from the subject, the twins placed their "get-well" gifts in the room. Both bought a big pot of flowers and placed them next to the counter. They even bought "get-well" cards.
Along with their mother, the Hitachins made idle chit-chat as if the girl could hear what they were talking about.
Friday
It was Honey and Mori's turn to visit Mikazuki. Honey brought Mika an exact replica of Usa-chan except it was purple instead of pink. Mori brought Mika white lilies instead of roses.
Placing the stuffed bunny in the crook of her arm, Honey talked for hours explaining to her unconscious form what happened at school and the club. Mori, in the meantime, discreetly held Mikazuki's hand.
Honey kept talking, but he noticed the action.
The weekend came and each of the host visited Mika, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
On Sunday, the host determination and hope dwindled. They were all sadden that Mikazuki hadn't woken up soon. One after another the hosts left until it was just Honey and Mori.
It was late at night and Honey decided that it was time to go. Feeling as if his cousin wasn't following behind, Honey turned around only to see Mori still occupied by the sleeping girl.
Sensing his cousin's eyes on him, Mori just said, "Mistukuni." Getting the memo, Honey understood what his cousin was saying and left after saying good-bye.
Mori, who was left alone with Mikazuki, caressed her soft pale face with his hand. Running his thumb over her full kissable lips, Mori began to lean forward. Placing a quick chaste kiss to her lips, he ran his hand through her flowing hair.
"Wake up soon, Mika-chan," he whispered. With a parting kiss to her forehead, Mori got up to leave the room.
"Uuuuuh…hmmmmm…ah"
Mori stopped and turned around to gaze at Mikazuki. She was trying to sit up, but failed miserably. Mori quickly called for a nurse and rushed back to Mika's bedside.
Halfway opening her eyes, Mika scanned Mori's handsome face.
"Mori…sempai," she croaked out.
Grasping Mika's hand, Mori smiled softly at her.
"Welcome back…Mikazuki."
Yay! Mika-chan awakens. The whole time I didn't like her being asleep for all that time, but hey…it makes the story more interesting. Anyway…I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. Please view and review! XD
