11/100 Memory
"How is he sensei?" Heiji asked the doctor, worried about his best friend's health.
The doctor looked up around at the room full of teenagers.
There was Heiji and Kazuha, both holding each others hands tightly. Hakuba had an arm wrapped around Aoko, comforting her and Ran and Eisuke also there standing close. The only one alone was Kaito. He was sat staring at the closed doors behind the doctor.
The doctor sighed "His vitals are all stable but he still hasn't woken up. He may wake up any time now and I am allowing you to sit in the room with him. Hopefully familiar faces upon wakening will help."
As soon as he heard the permission to enter, Kaito was up and practically running to the doors, the rest following behind him.
Kaito went into the room the doctor had shouted down to him and ran over to the single bed in it. There lay Shinichi, his face bruised and a bandage wrapped around his head, a blood bag connected into his arm and several wires monitoring his heart and other things Kaito didn't understand.
Kaito took Shinichis hand in his and rubbed it, either unaware or not caring about the others as they came in behind him
"Hey Shin-chan," he said softly "I'm here, you can get up now."
But Shinichi didn't wake. Hakuba pulled a chair over to Kaito, knowing he didn't plan on letting go until Shinichi woke. Then, not saying a word, he walked back with the others and sat down to rest.
After maybe a couple of hours, the current only other people in the room besides Kaito being Heiji and Hakuba as the rest had left with promises that they'd be called should something happen, the pace of the monitors beeps changed.
Kaito picked up his head from the bed where it had been resting and looked up at Shinichi
"Shin-chan?" he asked quietly, Hakuba and Heiji slowly waking
Shinichi face was pulled into a frown before his eyes slowly opened, drowsily looking around
"Shin-chan, Shinichi!" Kaito called excitedly as Heiji pressed a Call Doctor button to inform them of his recovery
Shinichi frowned then looked at his hand which Kaito still had hold of, then at Kaito's face,
"W-who are you?" he croaked out
Kaito's poker face didn't even try to hide the sudden hurt and Heiji and Hakuba just stared in horror
"Now come on Shinichi, t-this isn't funny!" He said desperately "You know who I am, it's me! Kaito!"
Shinichis frown only deepened "Kaito? Shinichi?"
Luckily, before Kaito had a chance to reallypanic the doctor came in and Hakuba quickly told him of what had happened. He had ran some tests on Shinichi and now was sat in the room about to give them the results,
"Well, it would appear that Kudo-San has suffered from a form of temporary amnesia due to the blow to the back of his head," He began, everyone listening attentively "Luckily the damage didn't look too serious and he should be fine in a week or so,"
"So Shin-chans going to be ok?" Kaito asked, relieved as the doctor nodded
"Yes, but I suggest someone should stay close as often as possible while he's at home or out,"
Heiji chuckled "Heh, I think tha' that's wha' Kuroba was plannin' on anyway..."
Kaito pushed open Shinichis house door "Welcome home Shinichi~" he said, trying to cheer up the depressed teen.
Shinichi didn't answer, instead walking in and staring at his house in awe like one of his first time guests.
Kaito chuckled, then gently pushed him to the library, " Come on, you always liked to relax in here,"
Shinichi allowed Kaito to guide him, instinctively trusting his apparent boyfriend as he was sat down on a comfy chair in a more than impressive library
"I'm going to go make us drinks, wait here," Kaito said before slipping back out the door and leaving Shinichi alone.
He slowly stood up and began to explore the room, every little thing that had probably been normal to him being strange and new.
He gently ran his fingers over a violin case, was it his? Could he play? Was he any good?
He then turned to the bookshelf, rows and rows of detective books packed together,
'Well, they did say I'm a detective,'Shinichi thought, walking along and trying to see if he recognised any of the books.
He reached the end where a collection of Photo albums where stored.
Curious, Shinichi pulled out the volume at the end, the most recent one, and begun to turn through the pages.
It started weird, the first page having people in costumes, Kaito in a white suit with his arm around the Hakuba person's neck, who did not look happy at all.
Another photo of a girl in a witches hat and an embarrassed boy with round glasses in a magicians robe being photographed apparently during a private moment, for some reason Kaito flashed through Shinichis mind...
Shinichi turned the page and found a photo of himself lying down stretched out on a couch in front of a table with a carved pumpkin sat on it with a curios design, a kind of top hat wearing face caricature. He was covered by a white cape as a blanket and Shinichi found himself smiling softly at it, despite not remembering why.
He snapped the album shut as the door opened again and Kaito entered carrying two drinks. Shinichi smiled as he slipped the book back
'Whoever you are Kaito, I hope I remember quickly...'
How did he end up in the hospital? I dunno, had a fight with a criminal?
And I was soooo tempted to make this chapter a refrence to the musical CATS...
