A/N: Here is chapter 10! Big thanks to mcangel1976 who has been very helpful in this endeavor.

Chika was lying in his bed thinking about the day. His best friend had come to see him and he had been told his dad wasn't allowed to see him for a while. He felt like spring holiday had come early. Satoshi and he had "talked" throughout the day. Talking for them now involved Satoshi talking and asking a multitude of yes and no questions. They had a lot of fun catching up after not seeing each other for a day or so. Alas though Satoshi had to leave Chika alone in the hospital room. Well, not completely alone. Mitskuni had been allowed to stay with him. That made him feel a lot safer. He knew his brother was stronger than him and while he was safe in a hospital guarded with many security cameras he still felt a bit nervous. Maybe it was the fact that he was awake and it was 2AM that was the problem. There was something off though something wasn't right. Chika decided not to worry about it figuring that whatever may want to harm him Mitskuni would take care of. He rolled over and went to sleep wanting morning to come so Satoshi could come back.

Hunny was sitting in the corner watching his little brother. Unbeknownst to Chika Hunny was watching his little brother sleep. He had a hunch that something was going to happen, but he knew that whatever might happen wouldn't because he would be there to protect his brother.

(At the Haninozuka Estate)

Mr. Haninozuka paced the bamboo floors of his study. He had to think of something. He wanted to bring his son home so he could show Yasuchika he cared. He had to find a fail safe way. He continued to pace his study wondering what to do when it suddenly came to him. Mr. Haninozuka picked up the phone and quickly punched in a few numbers. Soon the family doctor picked up.

"I need you over here right away," Mr. Haninozuka said into the phone.

In about five minutes the doctor had rushed over panting and out of breath.

"What is wrong sir? Who can I help?" the doctor asked.

"I need you to get my son out of the hospital as soon as possible. Do you understand what I want you to do doctor?" Mr. Haninozuka questioned his family doctor.

"Yes I do, sir. We need your youngest son home. I will file the paperwork for his transfer home so we can care for him here. But sir we need a nurse and a doctor on his unit to approve of his transfer," the doctor commented.

"Are you a blithering idiot. You can go and pose as the doctor. I'll send the nurse we have here. File the paperwork and then you can both sign off on it. Then I will have my son home where he will be safe and sound. We need him here, OK. You are to ask no questions and do as I say. Here is the paperwork you will need," Mr. Haninozuka said thrusting a packet in the face of his doctor.

"The nurse and I will have him home by tomorrow," the doctor said smiling slyly.

"That is what I like to hear," Mr. Haninozuka replied, "Have a good evening."

The doctor walked out of the room and back to his office. Getting out his pen he started to fill out the forms to release Yasuchika from the hospital. He had to think of the conditions. He put down the name of the nurse practitioner as the doctor and a different nurse saying that they would be taking care of him. He outlined the care that would be provided and the medication that would be used in case of emergency. He also stated that the doctors would call emergency personnel if the child's situation got worse. He obviously knew that wasn't true. They were more than capable of taking care of Yasuchika themselves. He finished filling out the last page and forged the nurse practitioners signature. He would take this in tomorrow. And then they would have the kid back.

(next day)

Chika woke up in the morning feeling mildly better. His body still felt weak and his hand was hurting a little where he had banged it on the bed on the day before. Overall though he was good. He could breathe on his own, sit up if he wanted to, and have ice chips which were the best things in the world. He looked over to see his brother sitting in a chair, Yasuchika had to find out some way to wake up his brother to let him know that he was OK. He decided that a little more bruising to the arm couldn't hurt anyone. He banged on his bed and saw his brother's eyes fly open immediately.

"Chika-chan! You're awake! How was your sleep? Are you feeling better?" Hunny asked worried about his little brother.

Chika made a sideways thumb for both since he really hadn't slept that well and he didn't feel too much better. Just then Penny walked in to check on her fighter. He seemed fine just a little weaker today. She took his vitals which were all good. His temp was around regular. About 99.5 degrees. 'A little high, but he came down remarkably fast for how serious his illness was,' she thought, ' I best give him the good news so at least this kid has something to look forward too.'

"Hey Chika? We have found a suitable tutor for you to begin sign language lessons over the weekend," Penny smiled hoping to comfort the kid.

Chika smiled too and gave Penny his normal thumbs up to signal that he was fine. 'Wow this is going to make life so much easier,' Chika thought as he sank back on the pillows. This was going to be great. Chika suddenly turned his head toward a sound that was coming from the door. He smiled as he saw his best friend fighting outside to get in.

"Hey there Yasuchika! I had to fight tooth and nail to get in here to see you," Satoshi said walking up to his friend's bed. HE was a bit worried, Yasuchika looked weaker today than he did yesterday. "How are you feeling?"

Sighing and rolling his eyes Chika once again gave the sideways thumb, this time leaving his hand on the bedrail. He was getting far too tired to keep giving everyone thumbs up for the whole day. He did beckon for Satoshi to come closer as he did Chika nodded. They had made this their silent communication for 'tell me how your day went.' Satoshi started to ramble on about how their history teacher had spent the whole class going over some stupid police uprising. Then at club the students were being totally incompetent and couldn't even get the ridge strike correct. Chika smiled at this knowing that most of the kids in then Kendo and Karate clubs were there so they could put something on their college transcripts. There were a few serious kids in the club and Chika enjoyed hearing how they were coming along in their work.

"Hey guys I'm going to go get a little lunch if that is OK?" Hunny asked knowing that Satoshi could look after his little brother very well.

"Go ahead you know nothing bad can happen to him while I am here," Satoshi responded with a cheeky grin. After the response Hunny left muttering something about needing a piece of cake.

Meanwhile, the Haninozuka's doctor, Ritsu, was getting ready to go into the hospital to file and then sign the paperwork that would get Yasuchika home safe and sound where he belonged. He remembered that they needed a nurse to sign off on the paperwork too. He knew just the nurse that would be able to help him, nurse Shizuma. She would be able to help him out, she wasn;t the brightest and always went along with whatever he said. He decided to walk over to her room right away and get her. Once there he knocked three times before calling out.

"Shizuma? Are you in there? I need you to assist me with something concerning Yasuchika," Ritsu said.

With that statement the door creaked open and a pair of eyes looked out. "And just would kind of assistance do you need, Ritsu?"

"Mr. Haninozuka wants his son back here by the end of the day. I had forgotten that I need a nurse to sign off on the papers when we get to the hospital. I need you to come with me to be that nurse."

"Well it sounds like you are going for a good reason and to help the youngest son. Yes, I will accompany you to the hospital. I have only one question, sir, how are we going to convince anyone to get him out of there?"

"I have the paperwork my lady and the EMTs don't know who is who and where they should be transported. We tell them what to do by showing them the papers and then we should be good to go."

"Then let me put on my uniform and we should get going," Shizuma said slinking back into her room leaving the door a crack open. When she came back Ritsu buttoned his jacket and handed her the paperwork. They walked to the entrance of the estate and climbed into a rented car. In moments Ritsu had put the car into gear and they were off to the hospital.

There was a mighty amount of laughter coming from Chika's room although Chika was not the one laughing. Satoshi was cracking up over something that had just happened. Chika had been trying to communicate that he was thirsty and Satoshi had NOT been getting the message. Chika had proceeded to lift the supposedly empty paper cup from his bedside table and tip it like he was drinking water. However the only thing he managed to communicate with this was, check the cup for water before you try to pretend drinking from it. So now a few minutes later the pair was in Chika's room Satoshi laughing wildly and Chika grinning ear to ear while mopping his head off with a towel that the nurse had given him.

"So dude what do you want to do when you get out of here?" Satoshi asked out of curiosity.

Chika laid his head back on the pillow and closed his eyes. He quickly opened them and gave a thumbs up. 'That's all I want right now is a good sleep and maybe a hot shower when I finally find my legs again.'

"You want a good sleep? DO you want me to leave Yasuchika? You can get some really good sleep then if you like," Satoshi said hoping that his friend would shake his head no. Much to his relief Yasuchika's eyes got very wide and he shook his head 'no' a couple times. "Good dude cause I was not about to leave you here alone. Not to mention I don't want to face off with your brother."

Chika gave a silent laugh at this. How good it was to have Satoshi back with him here. They could enjoy each other's company and eat food, well Satoshi could eat anyway. Having him back though was the best thing that could ever happen. And then….

(A while earlier)

Ritsu parked the car in one of the visitors lots so no one would know who he was. He got out and fixed his clothing and then ran to the other side of the car where Shizuma was just getting out. They headed in together Shizuma with her morning cup of coffee in her hand to make it look like they were really supposed to be there. They walked quickly across the lawn and up to the doors of the ER. There they casually entered making sure to be quiet and not disturb anyone.

Once they were in Ritsu pulled out the folder that he had been hiding in his jacket. He handed it to Shizuma and instructed her to take it to the nurses' station and put it in the very back of the release files. He would be there in about a half an hour to sign it.

Shizuma quickly went over to the nurse's station ad dropped the folder in the back of the file and walked away as quickly as she possibly could. 'Now what do I do? I suppose I could go and get another cup of coffee in the lounge. I mean that is what I see a lot of people doing around here. She decided on getting a cup of coffee and started to walk to the lounge.

Meanwhile, Ritsu, was walking around like he owned the place. He was the doctor to be in this ER. He went around checking on the unconscious patients and scribbled things on their charts. He, of course, made sure to use the same name as the doctor beforehand. After making his 'rounds' he went to get a cup of coffee. Looking at his watch he realized that he had only five minutes to get back to the nurses' station to get the paperwork, sign it, and have Yasuchika out of there. He quickly finished his coffee and threw the cup away. AS he walked out into the hall he saw Shizuma walking around looking at charts on patient's doors.

"Shizuma," Ritsu said and beckoned with his finger. She looked up and immediately came over to see what the doctor needed.

"Yes doctor how can I assist you?" she asked feigning that she did not know who he was as a stranger walked past.

"We need to get the paperwork now let us go sign it so we can get him out of here."

They rushed off to find the paperwork. When the two got to the station they had to wait a minute until the nurse on duty left. Then Ritsu snuck the papers out of the file and clicked the pen he was holding. He signed his wavy doctor's signature on the line and handed the paper to Shizuma. She too signed in a more loopy form hoping that no one would think to check the papers.

"Go alert the EMTs that they are going to be taking the patient Haninozuka back to his estate," Ritsu informed Shizuma. She rushed off and he headed to tell the kid the good news. But before he did he put on some glasses so the kid wouldn't recognize him. He walked into the room ad held up the papers.

(from before)

And then someone else walked into the room. It was a doctor. Chika could have sworn he had seen him before, but ignored that small fact due to the papers in the man's hand. 'Is that my release form?' he thought hopefully. Then becoming disdained, 'No that can't be it they said I would be here for a good two weeks and it has only been about four days I think.' Then the man spoke and Chika was sure he had heard the voice somewhere before.

"Hello there Chika. It is your lucky day. These in my hand are your hospital release papers. The doctors you have are more than able to take care of you and I think they will all be happy to have you home," Ritsu said hoping the boy wouldn't see through the disguise. Unfortunatly for Ritsu Chika did see right through it, but unable to talk the child could do nothing to defend himself.

Satoshi had seen the exchange and had seen his friend grow frightened of the man. "You are Ritsu are you not? The family doctor of the Haninozuka's? What the hell are you doing here? Get away from him right now!"

"Listen, kid, I am just trying to do my job. So if you would be so kind as to let me deal with my patient. He is going home today so he can be in better care," Ritsu said looking at the kid with angry eyes.

"He is my responsibility and I will not have you getting in his face like this you fake," Satoshi shouted. By this time Chika was starting to panic. He was breathing hard again.

"Here you are Chika this should calm you down for the ride home," Ritsu said taking out a syringe. He injected it into the boy's arm.

"Yasuchika! What the hell do you think you are doing here?! You are going to kill him what the hell is wrong with you, Ritsu?" Satoshi shouted.

"Ritsu? Who is Ritsu?" Ritsu asked.

"You! You cowardly bastard you are Ritsu the Haninozuka's doctor!" Satoshi came in at the doctor with a punch which was a big mistake. Ritsu took advantage of this he dodged Satoshi's punch and aimed a punch right at the kid's stomach. Satoshi gasped for air doubled over. Ritsu struck again lunging for the kids side. Satoshi blocked it with his hand and shoved the doctor backward. 'That was close,' Satoshi thought regaining his breath. Ritsu, however had a different idea. He took a nearby IV pole and decided it would make a great fighting staff. AS the young man was catching his breath Ritsu attacked. Much to Ritsu's surprise Satoshi was alert and fought back by blocking the pole with his arm. This time though Satoshi felt a pain go up his arm. 'Shit I always knew I needed to perfect that block,' he thought holding back tears. Satoshi bent over trying to catch his breath. Ritsu attacked again, this time hitting Satoshi in the side knocking him hard to the floor. Satoshi heard a crack as he hit the floor.

'Is this guy gonna try and kill me?' Satoshi thought peeling himself off the floor as he tasted blood in his mouth. 'I don't know how long I can hold up with this guy swinging damn IV poles at me.' Then something happened that made Satoshi glad his brother was friends with one of the Ootori legacies.

(earlier)

Kyouya was walking down the halls of the ER hoping to see Yasuchika and how he was doing. He then spotted something curious. A nurse and a doctor talking in hushed tones. The only word he picked up was Yasuchika.

'That's odd,' thought Kyouya, 'I don't recognize them. They don't work here.' Kyouya rushed off to make a quick call on his cellphone as his eyes widened with fear.

"Yes hello Izuma, this is Kyouya. I have a situation in the ICU down here. Foreign doctor and nurse quietly conversing. I have never seen them here before. If you would please send your force down as soon as possible that would be much appreciated. Thank-you. Good-bye," Kyouya hung up the phone thinking it was best that he go find the older brothers of the kids that were in Yasuchik's room. He didn't have to wait long to find them. They were coming down the hall with cups of coffee in their hand. Hunny was the first to see Kyouya.

"Kyo-chan is something wrong?" Hunny asked seeing the worried look on his friend's face.

"There was a doctor and a nurse. They were talking in hushed tones and the only word I picked up was Yasuchika. They don't work here. I have called my police to come take care of it, but figured you guys would also need to know what was going on," Kyouya breathed to them.

Both young men dropped their coffees on the floor and ran off towards Yasuchika's room. They knew one thing. If someone tried to harm Chika, Satoshi was in trouble, too.

(chika's room)

Ritsu had launched one last attack towards Satoshi. It clipped his shoulder and was headed straight for his face. Satoshi breaced himself for the impact closing his eyes, but the impact never came. He cautiously opened his eye to see what had happened. Satoshi had never been more thankful to see the Ootori police, one of them had just pulled Ritsu back while another one had blocked the pole from hitting him in the face. He saw the nurse being dragged in handcuffs on her wrists. One of the policemen was doing the same to RItsu. Satoshi relaxed a bit, but after two seconds or so tensed up again. Yasuchika! Was he alright? Satoshi rushed over the best he could to check. 'He looks fine, but we need a nurse,' he thought.

"What is going on here? What the hell happened to my patient?" the familiar voice of Penny sounded through the doorway.

"The doctor injected him with something that knocked him out," Satoshi stated holding onto the bedrail.

"What? Who the hell…?" she immediately got a vial from the cupboard and extracted some blood from Chika's IV.

"What's that for?" Satoshi asked still holding onto the bedrail.

"I need to see what that stupid ass put into Chika here," Penny said running off.

Satoshi heard one of the policemen talking rapidly into his phone.

"Kyouya we have the situation under control. Both perpetrators are handled. The patient has been knocked out. The teen with him may need medical attention as well."

"I'm fine just beaten up a little," Satoshi whined.

"Don't worry kid your safe now."

With this the police ran off leaving one outside the door in case of anymore attempts to steal the youngest Haninozuka. Just then Satoshi heard thundering footsteps coming down the hall. Five seconds later his brother, cousin, and Kyouya were in the doorway of the hospital room. Mitskuni immediately rushed over to his brother.

"Chika-chan? What the hell happened to him? Who would do this to my little brother? He has no enemies," Hunny cried.

"Ritsu," Satoshi replied to his cousin.

"Ritsu? That's the name of our family doctor," Hunny said looking very confused.

"Yeah it was him. He was the one that knocked your brother out. He came in here and just started doing shit," Satoshi said wincing a little. The adrenaline was wearing off and the pain was starting to set in.

"What the heck?! I bet my idiot father was behind this," Hunny seethed.

Mori seemed to sense another problem though and it wasn't with his cousin. "Satoshi are you alright?" he asked.

Hunny gasped he hadn't even looked at Satoshi. He glanced over and saw why his cousin was asking. There was blood dripping off Satoshi's mouth. Not to mention Satoshi looked in a bit of pain.

"You need a doctor," Kyouya commented pulling out his phone.

"No really Kyouya I'm fine. I just need rest," Satoshi insisted.

"Well I am not really giving you a choice here. You see if we don't get you checked out then my hospital is liable and we could be sued," Kyouya explained calmly.

"Oh alright I'll get checked out," Satoshi agreed still steadying himself on the bedrail.

"You should sit in a chair, standing won't do you any good," Kyouya said knowing that the kid would double over in pain once he let go of that bedrail.

"Sure I can do that," Satoshi said. He let go of the bedrail and tried to straighten his body. It was a bad idea. He cringed and, as Kyouya had expected, doubled over in pain. Satoshi groped for something, anything. He managed to land himself in a chair. Just then Yasuchika's doctor and another doctor came rushing in.

"He will be fine," Chika's doctor responded, "He was given a sedative only. It may take him a bit to wake up, but other than that he should be perfectly fine."

"Hey there are you alright?" another doctor was asking Satoshi, "What hurts?"

"Yeah my left shoulder, hand, and middle left ribs are hurting," Satoshi reported giving Kyouya an 'I really didn't need to go through this' look.

"Breathe deep for me," the doctor instructed. Satoshi winced as he breathed deeply. "Can you take off your shirt for me?" Satoshi obeyed the doctor's orders and took off his shirt.

"Satoshi what really happened with that other doctor?" his brother inquired. As Satoshi had lifted his shirt up a very large purple bruise had become visible.

"That IV pole over there. He kinda hit me with it a few times," Satoshi said. The doctor took his arm and started to poke around. Satoshi yelped when the doctor pressed on his wrist and then again when his shoulder was tapped.

"OK kid that's all I needed to do. We are going to order some X-rays for that arm, meanwhile I'll have someone come in and stich that lip up. You are going to be fine though," the doctor said.
