Attention! 2

Chapter 10: Rush to the Hospital!

"You know it was hilarious," I told Kyo while we continued on the way home from the café.

"It was not. I dropped my drink and they had to clean it up."

"The event wasn't funny. Your facial reactions were."

"Shut up Kyon. I don't tease you like that. "

"You tease me about Kyoya."

"Point taken."

We heard a nearby scream. That caused us both to run in the direction of the scream. It was from down a darkened alley. I gasped at the sight. There was a group of teenage girls and a man with a knife. The man had one girl in his grasp and his knife against her throat. The rest of the girls were searching through their purses. I grit my teeth and stepped forward.

"Hey! Leave those girls alone," I said in the voice I had used during school last year. It was much deeper than my normal voice.

"Who are you?" I smirked. I had cut my hair really short again so it was as long as Kyo's and I had boy clothes on that day. I was grateful for having that as my style for that day.

"My name is Kyon Madaramay and I'll kick your ass unless you leave those girls alone."

"Just try. I have a weapon."

"That will not make a difference unless you know how to defend yourself from a martial arts prodigy."

"Ha! You're making a mistake with fighting me! I know all about you! I heard about the Madaramay twins and their inheritance! I know that your twin is the one getting the dojo!"

"He's getting the company you idiot," I shouted at him. "If you knew anything about us, you would know that we don't travel without the other anyways! Now, let those girls go before I lose my patience with you."

"Heh. Just try to make me let them go."

"That can be arranged."

"Show me what you got, you little girl."

"You know I'm a girl. You know something. That won't change anything. I'm more capable with fighting than most men. I'll prove it."

"Let's test that."

I ran forward and hit his left side in an attempt to make him release his hold on the girl he had. He blocked my attack and threw his weight against me so I had to move away. I frowned and threw my foot into his ribs. He let the girl out of his grip and laughed.

"It hurts. I'll give you credit for strength. I'll never stop in my mission to eliminate you. I'm going to get paid for killing you now that I've met you. I'm going to become rich. Then I don't have to steal anymore! I can live in luxury! Plus I'll get a beautiful wife for killing the one she hates so much."

"Fujitanna set you up to kill me!"

"That's right. That woman set me up to kill you. Now let me succeed in my mission." I frowned at the determined fire in his eyes. I glanced at the girls that were huddled together behind him.

"Leave." They ran without him noticing.

"I won't leave! I have to kill you first!"

"Just try it!"

"Do you want to know a secret before I kill you?"

"That depends on what the secret is."

"Your father is my brother. He has sufficient abilities for taking over the dojo, but I'm better. I will use it on you if I have to. I will not fail my beautiful Fujitanna!"

"You do realize she was married to my father, right?"

"She isn't anymore! She isn't family to me. I can marry her if I want."

"Try to kill me and feel what it's like for her to hate you when you lose."

"Just try to win."

I frowned deeper and fell into my normal stance. I had to stay focused. This family stance wasn't going to work. He knew it. In fact, he was in the same stance. I changed to my special stance I used for my special style of fighting.

He grinned evilly and ran forward with his knife in his hand. I dodged that hand carefully every time he tried to slash me across my chest. He moved back when I tried to counter his attacks with a kick aimed at his wrist so he would drop the knife. My foot met with empty air. I jumped back as he tried to slash me again. It was aimed at my throat.

"Kyon!"

"Stay back Kyo. I can't let him hurt you instead of me. That would tear me apart. Don't move from that spot."

My opponent looked me over and observed my stance. He copied it soon after and waited. It was a more efficient stance. I frowned and rushed forward. I threw a punch at his shoulder. He dodged to the right and punched me in the stomach.

"This is a handy stance. I'll give you even more credit for making it up."

"Shut up!"

I ran forward and tried to get him again. He dodged my attempt and just waited. I threw my leg into his ribs, making contact. His stance faltered. He got it back in time for another kick to make contact with the same spot. My third attack in the chain was a punch aimed at his hip. He was barely able to block it with his arm. I moved back before he could hit me.

"You are smarter than your father. You're also more skilled than he is once you're in a comfortable stance. I don't know why Fujitanna hates such skilled person, but I don't care. I'll kill you. Then I might kill your brother if I feel like it. And I might just go after the rest of your family so they don't suspect my dear Fujitanna and so I can get the dojo and the company like I should have!"

"Shut up! My family won't fall to you! You are just a worthless and self-centered person! No respectable fighter goes after those that have no abilities! It's even worse when they are children!"

"Ah. Yes. Your little sister has no abilities. It doesn't matter. She is in the way."

"Shut up you monster! I can't believe you would think of hurting her! I'll get you!"

I let my temper get to me. He got inside my head. That was my mistake. My emotions got in the way. I rushed forward in a rage and didn't analyze the situation. He had his knife ready. I wasn't able to notice since I was so upset.

His knife went into a gap in my ribs. It missed the vital organs. It still made blood come up in my mouth. I opened my mouth and felt the thick liquid drip out. I stumbled back with my hands on his knife to keep it there. It was beneficial in keeping the wound from bleeding out and it kept evidence.

"Get back here!" I felt him grab my head. Then there was a sharp pain in the side and nothing.

Kyo's point-of-view

"Kyon," I shouted as she fell to the ground. I didn't see her move at all. "You bastard, that was my sister!"

"I know. She was too easy. I don't want to kill you. I'll just leave. You can cry over her body." He smirked and left. I pulled out my cell phone and dialed the emergency number, 119.

"Hello, this is Kyo Madaramay. Some man just tried to kill my sister. I need an ambulance. I'm in an alley. I'll go out to the street to wave down the ambulance," I said once the phone was answered.

I told the person the location on the way to the street with tears falling from my eyes. I couldn't lose Kyon. The ambulance was quick. Once we were inside, I got confirmation on which hospital we were going to and made the appropriate calls. I watched them fighting to keep Kyon alive. There were officers investigating the crime scene. They were going to get the knife after she arrived in the hospital and they took it out.

The calls were horrible. Mom cried into the phone loudly. When I told Dad, he let out some noise and I heard him try to tell Kyoko why he was crying. Her wails were drowning out his voice soon enough. Haruhi cried into the phone with me, quieter than Mom. Kyoya sounded like a wreck once I told him the news. His voice was so strange that I couldn't tell what he said after that or if he was just making noises of sorrow. Tamaki went crazy. Hikaru and Kaoru both started to cry a little bit and then they got angry and threatened to find the guy and return the favor for what he did. I sighed before calling Renge, who cried. Then I rubbed my temples and realized that I was out of tears in time to call Benten, Michi, and Mahalyn. All three cried into the phone like basically everyone else. I was a nervous and sad wreck by the time I finished the calls in the waiting room to wait on the news of her operation to remove the knife.

"We successfully got the knife out. Her family can see her now. We would advise that her friends waited until another day to see her."

"Her friends are like family to her," I objected.

"I mean blood related when I say family."

"We all need to be able to see her," Kyoya said forcefully. The doctor looked at him.

"Yes sir. Go right ahead. It was just a suggestion. You know what you're doing though." I watched the doctor walk away stiffly.

"It helps when my family owns the hospital," Kyoya said calmly.

"Wait, you didn't tell us the room," I called after the doctor. He rushed back.

"I apologize. She is in room 137."

"Thank you. I can show them where it is."

"Yes. Of course sir." The doctor walked away again.

"Kyoya, is Kyon going to be ok?" Kyoko asked softly while we followed him to Kyon's room.

"She will be ok. She has to be." I had given her that same answer soon after she arrived. Our parents tried too.

"Haruhi, is Kyon going to be ok?" Apparently she was asking everyone. She got the same answer from everyone.

We were all gathered. It was our parents, Kyoko, Kyoya, Haruhi, Hikaru, Kaoru, Tamaki, Michi, Mahalyn, Benten, my beloved Renge, and me. Renge was comforting me so I wouldn't break down into tears. We all went inside the room and took turns with being around her bed.

Mom touched her face gently and burst into tears. Dad took hold of her hand carefully and held it for a moment before he had to turn away. Kyoko couldn't even touch Kyon since she was already crying. They had to leave the room so she wouldn't be too distressed when she woke up. They went and waited in the waiting room.

The girls were next to gather. Haruhi kept it together for almost a full two minutes. She then had to go in the hall to regain her composure. The other four, including Renge decided they couldn't stay. Renge joined my family in the waiting room while the other three went home to be with their families. Haruhi rejoined us with her tears gone.

Us guys were next. Tamaki forced himself not to go crazy with despair. After saying a few things to her, he grew mushrooms in his corner. They were different from usual. They were blue and had words on them. He still amazed me. Hikaru and Kaoru held each other's hands while they each touched a spot on her arm or her hand. Kyoya gently moved hair from her face and kept his eyes locked on her while I just held her hand. Hikaru and Kaoru had to move away after a while so they wouldn't start to tear up. That left Kyoya and me to watch over her.

"Why did you keep going after him?" I asked quietly. "Kyon, he proved himself to you and you kept going after him. You let him get in your head. Why would you do that?" I asked with tears in my eyes. Kyoya put a hand on my shoulder and shook his head.

"She can probably hear you. It's not good that she hears this in this state she's in."

"She shouldn't have done that. That's all it is." Kyoya nodded and returned to what he was doing before I started talking. All her hair was out of her face so I assumed he was doing something else. I looked at her face and saw a smile that made things worse for me. "I can't." I let go of her hand and ran into the hall with tears spilling from my eyes.

"Kyo, you should be in there with her," Kyoya said after a while. He had joined me in the hallway. I was sitting on the floor with my back against the wall.

"I can't." He joined me in the same position.

"Why not?"

"It's too painful. That smile isn't her smile."

"I noticed that. It was different from how she smiles. I've never seen that smile on her face."

"I have." I pulled out my wallet and flipped through pictures until I found the right one. Kyon was wearing very revealing clothes with that smile on her face and I was standing beside her with a frown on my face.

"What is that?" I showed it to Kyoya. His eyes grew wide and he turned away with a very red face. "I see why you're upset. While it's taunting to keep looking at her like that, I prefer the way she is now. Please put that picture away." I closed my wallet and put it back in my pocket.

"That's one more thing I like about you. You like her true self better than that other one. You really are the best guy for her. You are approved."

"Thank you. Kyo, go back in there and watch over her. She needs you in there when she wakes up. Go in there."

"Alright. You have to make sure I don't go crazy and kill every guy in school if she's stuck in that phase."

"You have my word. I will probably beat you to it."

"We can team up."

"You have yourself a deal."

"Kyon's moving. I think she's going to wake up soon." We both looked at Haruhi.

"Thanks for telling us. Let's go Kyoya." He nodded so we both stood and went back inside the room. "If any of you need a moment, go in the hall. It makes you feel much better."

"What did you do out there?" Haruhi asked.

"I had some guy talk with Kyoya." I returned to Kyon's bedside and took hold of her hand. Kyoya was at the end of her bed, staring at her charts.

"It looks like there's some possibly memory loss. It should be temporary. Don't force her to get her memory back. She won't forget everything. It's most likely the more recent things. You should explain your situation with your father before letting him see her."

"You got it." I looked back at Kyon when there was a gentle squeeze of my hand. Her eyes were starting to flutter. She opened them soon after, making me smile. "Hey there."

"Hi Kyo. Where are we?"

"We're in a hospital. You got hurt."

"Was I defending those stuck up cheerleaders again?" I looked at Kyoya.

"Make that definite memory loss and tell me how long it's going to stay like this."

"Well you're the cutest doctor I've ever seen. What's this about memory loss?"

"Never mind."

"Kyo, you can tell her that she has memory loss. I'll do it. Kyon, you were stabbed and thrown head first into a wall. You have temporary memory loss of recent events it seems. Everyone in this room cares about you. There are more people in the waiting room that care about you. Kyo can explain the rest." I frowned at Kyoya.

"You don't leave me with that. Never mind. I can deal with it. We're in Japan. That's Kyoya Ootori. This is Tamaki Suoh. Those two are Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin. You remember Haruhi Fujioka."

"Ok. Who are these guys? They're very cute."

"They're your friends. I'm not done yet. We live with Mom. We visit Dad all the time." She frowned at the mention of him. "Stop frowning. Kyoko is with us almost daily. You are inheriting Dad's dojo. Fujitanna and Dad divorced. Dad always loved Mom. He was forced to divorce her and marry Fujitanna. Now that he divorced Fujitanna, our parents are dating again. He always loved us. He's proved it on multiple occasions."

"I don't believe that man would have the nerve to implant you with his lies."

"They aren't lies! I'm sorry for shouting. It's all true though. Fujitanna paid people to kill you since you were going to inherit the dojo. She finally snapped and that's how he was able to get permission for a divorce. A final man got to you and that's why you're in here."

"I'll believe you for now. If I see any sign that it's false, you won't be happy with the outcome. Now tell me about these guys. They're all so cute."

"Stop that," Kyoya told her. He hated that she was calling other guys cute.

"I agree. Stop that. One of these guys is my boyfriend." I looked at Haruhi.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. Just stop calling the guys cute."

"Which one's your boyfriend?" Haruhi took hold of Hikaru. "Oh. He isn't the cutest one. He's one of the less cute ones."

"Shut up."

"I'm sorry. It's true though. Tamaki and Kyoya are the cutest."

"Kyon, stop calling them cute or they'll all have to leave, got it?" I told her.

"Fine. I'm sorry. Kyo, you got so mean."

"No I didn't. Are you ready to see our family now and another friend?"

"Sure."

"Tamaki-sempai, could you go get them?"

"Of course Kyo! I would do anything for my beautiful daughter! She's finally awake! I'm so happy!" He left the room.

"I take back everything I just said about him. He scares me."

"I know," I said after a laugh.

Kyoya's point-of-view after visiting

Everyone had left except for Kyo and me. Even his parents and Kyoko left. Kyoko was tired and much happier since Kyon was able to smile and talk to her. Her parents had work and had to make sure Kyoko went to bed. That's why they left. We had school the next day. That's why everyone else left.

We hadn't told Kyon about the fact that she is my girlfriend. We thought it would be better if we waited. I was walking around the hospital. After a while, I decided to go check on Kyon. I went to her room and silently opened the door.

The sight on the inside made me smile when I got close enough to see it all. Kyo was sitting in a chair by Kyon's bed. He was holding her hand gently and he was fast asleep. Kyon was fast asleep as well. She had her normal smile on her face. Her hand that had Kyo's was pulled up against her chin.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling. That was ok. I didn't care if I was caught smiling. Then I found that I couldn't stop myself from doing something else. I leaned down and gently kissed her cheek. Her smile grew and turned shy. That was my Kyon. I wanted her to be the one that left the hospital in a few days. That was my hope.

Me- It's a cute ending scene to a long and sad chapter. Let's do the disclaimer real quick. Kyoya's the only one up so it's just him and me.

Kyoya- Amii doesn't own us or OHSHC.

Me- I own Kyon and her family, plus Benten, Michi, and Mahalyn.

Both- Join us next chapter!
