(A/N: My first ever author's note at the top! Anyway, I'd like to say that this chapter contains sensitive material, and may not be for those of weak stomachs. You have been warned, take it as you may.)

Come Back To Me

Chapter Eleven

Visitors

Kyo couldn't believe what had just happened. He wouldn't believe it. The girl he'd been so fond of all these years, whom he'd loved and adored had just fallen and seriously injured herself, and it was his fault.
He could now see why Tohru didn't want him in her life any more, he just caused pain for her. He just walked around the streets, not paying particular attention to where he was going.
He must've walked for about three hours before finally looking up to see where he;d ventured to. It was only then he realised he'd returned to Evergreen Court Apartments. He sighed as he looked up to the seventh floor, darkness filled the entire apartment he'd once lived in; Tohru couldn't have been discharged yet, not at all.

It was then he realised he needed to be with her. She had no one at the moment, no one with her. And so he ran, ran as fast as he could to the hospital. On the way he grabbed the largest bouquet of tulips he could find and kept on going to the hospital. The Sun had now fallen behind the tall skyscrapers, and darkness dropped over Tokyo.

Tohru awoke in the hospital a day later. Agony tore across her body, as she looked down to see various wires sticking out of her body. She screamed slightly as she began to try an move.
Every cell in her body was numb, and her movement was extremely restricted; at most, she could move her head from side to side.

She panted slightly, as though she'd be running, as she turned her head to the right and saw the star-strewn night's sky. Tohru blinked, as the stars twinkled above her, and traffic rumbled below.
She looked back at her room, it was a small white room. A vase full of flowers stood by her bedside, a card attached.
A knock at the door shook Tohru out of her daze.

"Come in," she said, her voice croaked.

Kyo walked into the room. Tohru just stared at him. She didn't have the energy to shout and scream at him.

"Thank goodness you're up!" Kyo said, he was pale and looked very tired.

"K-Kyo," Tohru croaked "what're you doing here?"

"Someone needed to be with you," he replied, setting down a glass of water for Tohru "so, here I am."

"W-What happened?" asked Tohru.

There was a knock on the door. Both Tohru and Kyo looked over. They both looked at each other and Tohru nodded. Kyo walked to the door and pulled it open, and Dr. Ishima strode into the room.

"Ah, it's good to see you're awake," said Dr. Ishima, nodding to Tohru "how are you feeling today?"

"I-I'm doing okay," Tohru lied, nodding slightly, a small smile forming.

"Good, good," replied Dr. Ishima, he grabbed the chart at the end of Tohru's bed and looked it over.

Kyo stood by Tohru, passing her the glass of water. She grabbed it slowly, having finally being able to move a little bit. She took a small sip as Dr. Ishima began to talk.

"Okay, I'm not gonna beat around the bush here, Miss Honda," he said, suddenly looking stern "I'm afraid there have been some... Complications."

"Complications?" asked Tohru "What do you mean?" she added, knowing exactly what was coming.

"I'm afraid to say that your baby did not survive your fall down the stairs," Dr. Ishima said "I'm very sorry to have to tell you this so soon after you've woken up, but it was necessary."

Tohru just sat there. She was not longer pregnant. She and Kyo were no longer going to have a baby.
Tears filled her eyes as she began to sob uncontrollably. Kyo sniffled next to her.

"I'll give a moment to be alone," replied Dr. Ishima, and he bowed and left.

Tohru just sat on her bed, sobbing. She looked up at Kyo, who stared back.

"Kyo..." she said, through her tears.

"Yes?" he asked, looking back at her.

"Hold me," she said, sobbing once more "just hold me, I need someone to lean on... I can't do this anymore...."

And Kyo grasped her into a hug. He squeezed her tightly as she wrapped her arms around him, both sobbing.

"I'm so sorry," she whispered to him "I've been such a jerk to you, and you didn't deserve it!"

"Don't worry about it, Tohru," replied Kyo "let's worry about what's happening here and now."

A few hours later, Dr. Ishima returned. He aided Tohru with some steps on how to cope with her loss.
It had been in this time that Tohru's stomach had become extremely unsettled, she clenched in pain randomly, and groaned.

"Would you like to use the toilet?" asked Dr. Ishima, gesturing into the corridor.

"Please," replied Tohru, as Dr. Ishima began to pull the tabs on Tohru's body.

After a few minutes Tohru was free to use the toilet, and she slowly shuffled with her drip to the toilet. She locked the door behind her, Kyo was stood outside. She shuffled to the sink, and placed one hand each side, and took a long hard look in the mirror. Her face had paled considerably, and her hair was lank and knotted. Her eyes had also lost their usual gleam, and she had big bags under her eyes.

She shook her head, and once again clenched in pain and retracted to the toilet. Her bottom touched the cold, hard plastic rim. Tohru relaxed and let nature take its course. She had her head in her hands as she felt a sudden, very quick rush escape her. It had been very painful and quick, the pain had gone as soon as it had come.

Her eyes snapped open as she stood up to find the toilet filled with blood, and there, in the middle of the bowl was something, which began to float up. It was the foetus, looking deformed and wrinkled as it sloshed in the water, blood continued to drip from Tohru as she stumbled back and screamed.

"Kyo!!!!" she screamed, collapsing to the floor, her hands covering her face "Someone!!!!!"

She loudly sobbed and continued to cover her face. Kyo was at the door, banging loudly on it.

"Tohru!! Let me in!!" he shouted.

"I-I can't!" Tohru shouted back, she was frozen with fear.

"I need help here!!" Kyo shouted from the door.

In seconds the door clicked and swung open, and Kyo and Dr. Ishima emerged. They looked from Tohru in the corner, crying her eyes out and covering her face, to the toilet, stained with blood.
Kyo ran to Tohru and Dr. Ishima to the toilet, Dr. Ishima recoiled slightly as he left the room shouting for help.

"Tohru, what's wrong?" asked Kyo "Tohru, speak to me!"

Tohru couldn't do anything but sob, and wearily and shakily point to the now-red toilet bowl. Kyo walked over to the toilet and recoiled.

"Tohru," he said "let's get outta here now. C'mon."

Tohru, shaking from head-to-foot shook as Kyo helped her out of the room. He made sure that Tohru didn't look back and the toilet and helped her into her room.

"Tohru," said, as Tohru continued to sniffle and shake "Tohru, don't worry about being alone, okay?"

Tohru looked up at him, her eyes looking directly into his.

"I'm gonna be here for you," he said "no matter what. Okay? I love you."

Kyo slowly inched forward, and their lips touched. Dr. Ishima walked in and they quickly spread apart.

"Tohru," he said, panting "I need you to tell me what happened just now."

(A/N: I know, I know, it's a crappy place to end it, but there's a part two to this story! I'm sorry about the graphic [if you wanna call it that] material. I never considered doing this, buuuuuut, you got a small amount of what you've been requesting from me – TohruxKyoness, just for you, my adoring fans! Anyway, hope you look forward to chapter 12 – it's gonna stir some stuff up!)
