Double Trouble

Chapter 14~ Yusei's POV

Three days passed.

I was in and out of consciousness, from medication, and from the pain of the wounds. Many times I awoke to find fresh flowers in a vase by my bed. When I asked who had brought them, the nurses told me a tall blonde man with violet eyes had put them there, and he visited me frequently.

I immediately dumped the flowers in the trash.

I was done with Jack.

He was selfish. Kiryu was in a coma and it was all his fault! If Jack had just listened…! But no. Now, even if Kiryu did wake up, he'd be sent back to the looney bin, guaranteed, leaving me all alone, again! I bet that was Jack's plan all along! He wanted me all to himself! He was trying to get rid of Kiryu so that I might confine in him! Well, I'd never leave Kiryu, let alone go to Jack!

"Fudo-san, your friend Kiryu Kyosuke recently woke up."

My ears perked.

"K-Kiryu's awake?" I gasped. The doctor nodded.

"He seems to be speaking in mostly coherent sentences. However, he seems to have suffered some memory loss. We're not sure how much though."

"Can I see him?" I asked urgently. The doctor nodded, and I got up. I was feeling better than I had before. For some reason, I felt nervous. I wasn't sure how Kiryu would act towards me. He had been unstable enough as it was, and now he was probably worse.

When I entered the room, Kiryu was talking with a doctor.

"K-Kiryu?" I said.

He turned and gave me a confused look.

"Do I know you?" he said.

I felt my heart practically stop.

"You… You don't remember me?" I gasped out. Kiryu tilted his head.

"You seem familiar," he said, "But I just can't place it…"

"I-I'm Yusei!" I shouted, "Fudo Yusei! Your boyfriend, your lover! Kiryu, don't you remember?"

Kiryu gave me a strange look. "Boy… friend…?" He seemed almost repulsed. "Are you sure you took your meds, dude?"

"I'm not crazy!" I yelled, "Kiryu, you have amnesia. You don't remember it, but you, Jack, Crow, and I were all in a gang together, Team Satisfaction, but you developed a mental disorder and were sent to a mental hospital for a year, and I barely saw you, and I missed you so much!" I said this all in a desperate rush. "Don't you remember any of that?"

Kiryu just gave me a strange look.

"Oh, Kiryu!" I cried, "I can't believe this! You don't remember…. But… I've missed you so, so much. I don't ever want to leave your side…!" I couldn't control myself anymore. I leapt at my precious frosty haired lover and pulled him into a tight hug.

"Somebody help me!" Kiryu shouted, trying to push me off him, "This guy is crazy! Get him off me!"

Someone grabbed me from behind and yanked me away from my love.

"I'm not crazy!" I told the doctor that had pulled me off Kiryu, "He has amnesia and you know it!"

"That may be true," the doctor told me, "but you're approaching it the wrong way! You're not being gentle enough, and you're confusing and scaring my patient! Now, get out!"

The doctor began pushing me out of the room.

"No, Kiryu!" I yelled, fighting the doctor's strong grip, "Please, you have to believe me! Jack hit you in the head with a wrench! You have a concussion! You-!"

The door was slammed in my face, and I heard it lock. I began to bang on the door.

"Let me in!" I yelled, "I need to be with him! I need to with Kiryu! He needs me! Let me in! I won't let you take him from me! I won't let him be taken from me ever again!"

I felt two sets of hands grab my arms and pull me away from the door.

"Stop, let go of me!" I yelled desperately, "They're going to take him away from me! They're going to send him back to that place, and I'll never see him again! I can't let them take him from me!" I was hysterical. I kept screaming and flailing, trying to break free, but I was dragged back to my room.

Someone was waiting there for me.

"Yusei?"

It was Jack.

"Yusei, what's going on? Why are they holding you back? What happened?"

I was immediately silent. Jack was the last person I wanted to see. Anger flared up inside me.

"This is all your fault!" I shouted. He looked surprised at my words, "Why didn't you leave when I told you to?"

He blinked, looking shocked, trying to put two and two together. Then it seemed to click in his mind what I was upset about.

"H-He was attacking you! He was hurting you, Yusei!"

"I was fine!" I screamed at him, "I could have bared through it! I would have recovered! We were fine!"

"Yusei, you weren't fine!" Jack snapped at me, "He was harming you! He was cutting you!"

If my arms hadn't been held back, I would have started throwing things at him.

"They're going to take him away from me! They're going to take him away and it's all your fault!"

"Good riddance, then!" Jack shouted back, "He was hurting you! You're in an unhealthy, abusive relationship Yusei, and I can't stand it! I can't stand you being hurt like that!"

"You selfish little brat!" I screamed, "Didn't you ever once think that loosing Kiryu would hurt me more than any physical abuse dealt to me?"

"Yusei, you're obsessed! You're not thinking clearly!" Jack yelled back at me.

"No, you're obsessed and not thinking clearly!" I snapped, "You never liked Kiryu! You hated him because we were in love! So when you saw a chance to get rid of him, you took it! You attacked him! You wrongfully assaulted Kiryu! And now he has brain damage and amnesia, and he doesn't even remember me! So thanks, Jack, thanks a lot! Thanks for ruining my life!"

He was stunned into silence. He had a look of pure shock on his face.

"Yusei… I'm… so sorry…" he said, "I had no idea… I had no intention to-"

"Just leave!" I hissed, "Just get out of my life, Jack! Not that it matters, anyway, since you've already ruined it!"

"B-But… Yusei…!" he pleaded.

"GO!" I screamed, "I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOUR UGLY FACE EVER AGAIN! I HATE YOU! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?"

I glared at Jack, tears in my eyes. I already saw tears streaking his cheeks.

"You know," Jack said, "I thought Kiryu was the crazy one… I guess I was wrong…"

He wiped his face on his sleeve.

"You've changed, Yusei, and I don't like it. I fell in love with the old, passionate Yusei, not the obsessed new one. I'm done with you!"

He ran from the room.

The two people holding me back threw me onto my hospital bed, and I was injected with something. My mind became foggy, and I drifted into a calm sleep, all thoughts lost in a sea of darkness.
