Chapter 12: Surgery?

Nagi's Pov.

I stared at Amu with my mouth open and Rima looked absolutely shocked. Amu looked absolutely lost. She kept looking back and forth at me and Rima.

"What?" She asked.

"No had actually said it before" I told her.

"Oh" She simply said.

"So it shocked us to hear it actually said" I told her.

"Oh, I am so sorry!" Amu said running over to Rima.

I stared at Rima. She was sitting on the ground curled up in a ball and crying. I walked over and picked up Rima bridal style.(A/N I swear he picks her up like this so often they might at well be married!) I carried out of the room with Amu following me. I took Rima to her room, and I sat down on her bed and held her.

"Amu?" I said.

"Yes Nagi?" She replied.

"Ask Nadeshiko to lead you to her room. You can sleep in there with her. Rima needs me." I told Amu.

"Okay" she said and she left the room.

Amu's pov.

I walked out to find Nadeshiko. It was like she had heard the whole conversation.

"Come, Amu-chan" She said sweetly.

I followed her and she lead me to a decent sized room and I recognized it in an instant.

"This was where we slept during out first sleepover!" I yelled.

"Indeed Amu-chan!" She said smiling.

~Elsewhere with Rima and Nagi!~

Narrator's pov.

Rima and Nagi were sitting on the bed. Rima was crying into Nagi's shirt and Nagi was hugging her, trying to comfort her. It wasn't working. Nagi picked her up and layed her down on the bed. It was almost midnight. He layed down next to her and held her. She had her arms around her neck and was crying still. It wasn't long until Rima fell asleep. Nagi watched her sleep for a bit. He kissed her on the cheek and layed back. He very quickly fell asleep.

~The next morning, Rima's Pov~

I woke up the next morning around 9am. I got up and went and looked in the mirror. My face was pale and slightly patched with red from crying so much last night. Amu, I remembered. She was with Nadeshiko somewhere. I felt someone grab my shoulder. I turned around to see Nagihiko. I hugged

him, he pulled away and turned on the water for the bath.

"Take you time" Nagi said.

"Okay." I said.

Nagi left the room and I crawled into the bath. I sat there and inhaled the smell of citrus from the water. I heard someone knock on the door.

"Rima? You might want to hurry" I heard Nagi say.

I took a quick look at my watch and it was 10am. I remembered we had to be at the hospital at 11. I got out and put on my robe. I stepped out and went into the closet to see Nagi looking through my clothes.

"Nagi?" I asked.

He turned around and turned red. I was wearing a orange silk robe.

"I will go, you pick out some clothes." He said and he walked out.

I smirked and walked through the closet. I grabbed an orange skirt, and an orange tank top. I slid off my robe and slid into my under clothes and put on the skirt and top. I looked for some legging's and found some black one that I slid into. I grabbed a black headband and some black flats. I walked out to see a few maids. They guided me to the mantel piece and they did my hair. They put it up into a high pony tail and left it alone. I put on the headband and headed down to breakfast.

When I got there I saw Amu talking to Nadeshiko. I felt my blood boil. Amu was my best friend, not hers. Sure she knew Amu first, but I know her better! I walked over put on a fake smile and sat down. Everyone had their breakfast but me.

"Where's my breakfast?" I asked.

"You can't eat or drink anything til after your surgery remember?" Nadeshiko said.

"Oh right, that sucks" I said.

I held my head in my hand with my elbow on the table as I listened to Amu and Nadeshiko's random chatter. Then Nagi and his mom cam in.

"Are you girl's ready to go?" Mrs. Fujisaki asked.

"Sure" I said as I got up.

The others followed and we all walked out to the main gate. I walked next to Nagi and was waiting for him to grab my hand, but he didn't. So I reached out and took his hand, he pulled away. It didn't make sense. We had gotten to the car and Nagi got in before me then Amu got in and I was sitting next to Amu. I pulled out my phone and texted Nagi.

To Nagihiko:

Why did you pull away when I reached out for your hand? I need you right now and when I reached out to you, you pull away from me? What the hell?

From Rima.

I put my phone on vibrate and put it in my pocket. I stared out the window with my chin in my hand when my phone buzzed. I pulled it out of my pocket and read the text.

To Rima:

I'm sorry for pulling away, but you need to be focused today.

From Nagihiko.

I stared at the text, I was mad. I snapped my phone shut and gripped it so hard it almost snapped. I put it in my pocket and went back to staring out the window.

~At the hospital, Rima is checked in and about to go into surgery!~

I layed in the bed they put me in and waited to be taken to surgery. I was alone in the room everyone else was in the waiting room. I heard the door open I perked up and looked to see it was Nagihiko. I layed back down and turned so I was facing away from him.

"Rima" He said.

I stayed silent.

"Rima, I'm sorry I pulled away. But you need your focus today." He said.

That made me mad. I sprung up and yelled.

"YOU THINK I NEED MY FOCUS TODAY?! I DON'T!" I screamed when he interrupted me.

"Rima, I love you but You need your focus" He said again.

I was pissed now. "THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK! I DON'T NEED MY FOCUS! I FUCKING NEED YOU!" I screamed at him.

He looked at me with shock and stepped back. He looked at the floor then walked out of the room. I broke out into tears. Didn't he understand that I needed him to get through this. The nurse came in.

"Ready to go Miss Mashiro?" She asked.

"Sure" I said still crying.

"Are you alright?" She asked me.

"Yeah, my head just hurts. I have a headache." I lied smoothly.

"Okay, well that will be gone forever within a few hours." She said smiling.

I forces myself to smile back and I moved to the other bed she brought in and she took me to the O.R. I layed on the bed and my doctor came over.

"Rima, here's what gonna happen. You are going to breathe into this mask and it will make you fall asleep. We will give you a anesthetic to numb your body and we will drill a hole into your hip. We will then remove the affected bone marrow and insert the good. Okay?" he explained.

"What ever, where is the mask?" I asked.

They put it over my face and I fell asleep. I had a dream, it was a wedding.

In Rima's dream

I suddenly walked into a field of flowers. There were Lilies and Roses, my favorite flowers. I walked around and realized I was wearing heals and a white flowy dress.

I kept walking and something was thrown over my face and I couldn't see very well. I was standing under an arch. There was someone standing in front of me. I guessed I was dreaming about my wedding. I heard the priest say, "and do you Rima Mashiro accept …... to be your lawfully wedded husband in sickness and in health until death parts you?" I answered that I would. The priest said you may now kiss the bride. I felt the veil lifted from my face and I saw not Nagi but KUKAI!

I suddenly jerked up awake and everyone was around me. I fell backwards from pain. I was laying back down and I felt someone grab my hand. It was Nagi. It was just a dream. Thank God, but why did I have a dream about marrying Kukai?
