Hello again, I've been neglecting fanfiction for a while because I'm addicted to Skip Beat but it'll take me a couple more days to get to the most recent chapter on mangafox so I hope I'll get back into the rhythm of writing chapters regularly, I'm hoping to have 10 different stories on fanfiction by the end of the year, two more to go and less than a month, what could go wrong? XD Anyway, since I have told myself I have read enough manga for today I shall start writing and hopefully it won't take me too long ^^

Haruhi's head felt like fluff, she groaned as her mind swam back into consciousness. She didn't know how long she'd been out for, all she could remember was Mori holding her to his chest as they sat in the car on the way to the hospital; the comfort of his arms had been enough for the shock to wear off from Haruhi's system and the pain to take over.

Here it came again, the pain, in a wave heat and dryness.

Haruhi whimpered once and tried to wipe the unpleasantness from her face only to be met by thick gauze covering the top half of her face.

'Is she awake,' she heard a whisper, immediately recognising it as Kaoru.

'Haruhi, can you hear us?' Tamaki said softly, the panic obvious in his voice, 'say something.'

'Ouch,' Haruhi moaned, 'it's my eyes that are broken, not my brain,' she sat up and rubbed her sore head.

'Haru-chan!' she heard a squeal from Huni-senpai who seemed happy to see her conscious.

'Are you ok,' Hikaru pressed.

'Leave her be to collect her thoughts,' Haruhi felt thankful as Kyouya silenced everyone, 'I will go get the doctor. Now she's conscious we can run some proper tests to see what can be done about her sight.'

'I'm sitting right here, you can talk to me directly,' Haruhi frowned before realising it would have no effect. She could almost imagine herself sitting in the hospital bed like a china doll, emotionless and fragile but ignored the vision and placed the emotion in her words instead.

'I apologise,' Kyouya muttered then she heard the door open and close, signalling his exit.

'Are you scared Haru-chan?' Huni asked.

'Why should I be?'

'How are you going to recognise everything around you if you can't see any of it?' that was a very tearful Tamaki. Haruhi smiled.

'I can recognise all of you guys just fine by your voices,' she smiled, 'Huni-senpai,' she patted him on the head from his position sitting on the side of her bed, 'Hikaru and Kaoru,' she pointed at each individual to her right in turn, 'Tamaki-senpai,' she pointed to the right hand corner nearest to her, 'and Takashi,' she pointed to her left.

'But Mori-senpai didn't say anything... did you just call him Takashi?!' a mixture of voices said the same sentence but with different emotions, some confusion, some shock and some happy.

Haruhi smiled and tapped her lips, 'secret,' she laughed then the door opened and Kyouya walked in with the doctor.

They both looked slightly confused at the gaping mouths of the twins, Huni and Tamaki all looking at Haruhi who looked surprisingly happy considering her position.

'How are you feeling Miss Fujioka?' the doctor walked beside her.

'Apart from a headache and that fact I can't see much I'm good,' Haruhi smiled, still imagining everyone's faces along with their voices.

'I'm going to take the gauze off your eyes, now you are conscious we can see the full extent of the damage,' Haruhi felt cool fingers brush her face, both cooling and stinging the exposed raw skin, the padding over her eyes was slowly lifted, Haruhi blinked.

'What do you see?'

'Not much, blobs,' Haruhi shrugged, turning her head in different directions and squinted, 'I can see something but not enough to define real shapes,' she felt a light get flashed into her eyes and doctor held her face, inspecting her eyes quietly.

'It's good you can see something, you're cornea is quite badly damaged, about seventy percent I would say, but it is the fastest healing tissue in the body so with some eye drops and TLC I'm very hopeful that you'll regain your previous sight, so long as that damage isn't irreversible. There is a possibility of that but I 'm almost sure you'll be fine,' there were sighs of relief from around the room, 'I'd like to keep you here overnight for observation but then you should be fine, you can go to school if you think you can manage, if someone takes note for you maybe?' Haruhi breathed a sigh of relief; she felt that she had missed enough school as it was.

The doctor then went onto explain medication and made her lie down with a cool gel pack over her eyes. The doctor finally left after over half an hour.

'Isn't this great Haruhi?!' Tamaki squealed, finally able to release all of his energy after behaving himself for an impossible amount of time. There was silence on the receiving end, 'are you ignoring me Haruhi?' Tamaki seemed to shrink in size and his lower lip trembled.

'Haru-hi,' the twins poked her cheeks, still no response.

'She's sleeping,' Mori muttered from his corner.

'Yeah, leave Haru-chan to rest,' Huni hopped down from the side of her bed to Mori's side.

'From now on, now that we know she is going to be fine, we can take the evening in shifts to look after her, I'm assuming you don't want to leave her by herself,' he received a lot of shakes of heads for that, 'good, I have a rota made up. I'll sit with her now,' while she is likely to stay asleep but is at her most fragile after being given antibiotics, 'Tamaki after an hour and a half,' otherwise he would lose his patients, 'then the twins, Huni-senpai afterwards and last, Mori senpai, you can keep her company overnight,' Kyouya held up the rota which he placed on the table then pushed everyone out of the door, 'go back to school and come back later.'

It happened so fast they only had time to blink before everyone found themselves standing in the hospital hallway, they slowly dispersed, still not too sure what information Kyouya had forcefully pushed into their heads at a speed that made it difficult to comprehend.

Back in the hospital room Kyouya was happily setting up his laptop to finalise some of the paperwork for change in custody, it only needed Haruhi's signature, her new legal guardian(s) signatures and give it to Haruhi's social worker.

Haruhi stirred, 'I thought Tamaki-senpai would never shut up,' she groaned.

'There's only-,'

'I know it's only you, Kyouya-senpai, you can keep working if you want, I'm going to go back to sleep,' then she turned onto her side and curled up, Kyouya allowed himself a lingering moment to look at her sleeping face before his eyes flicked to the computer screen and he immersed himself in work.

~.~.~.~

Haruhi slept through Tamaki's hour and a half, he was happy enough just to stare at her face and live in his weird fantasy world.

She slept through the twin's hour and a half, they thoroughly enjoyed doodling all over her arms until Huni caught them then helped them wash it all off again until Haruhi woke up.

'What are you three doing?' she rubbed her eyes then flinched and quickly moved her hands away from her face.

'Hika-chan and Kao-chan drew on your arms,' Huni informed her matter-of-factly.

'I see,' Haruhi said with an air of annoyance, 'well I'm sure Hika-chan and Kao-chan won't mind leaving now will they?' her voice dripped with fake pleasantness.

'Yes Ma'am,' the twins said with identical sarcasm then they left, laughing, Haruhi grinned and shook her head.

'So... Haru-chan,' Huni rocked on his feet, faking innocence.

'Mm?' Haruhi turned her attention to him.

'You and Takashi,'

'I guess so, well, I think so but you'll have to ask him too,'

'Oh, there's no need for me to ask him, yay~,' Haruhi found herself enveloped in a warm hug, 'be nice to him, kay? He may be smart but he can be kinda stupid sometimes too, a bit like Tama-chan put on mute.'

'Interesting way of putting it Huni-senpai,' Haruhi laughed.

Haruhi and Huni chatted for a bit longer then a nurse came in about half an hour before Mori was due to come and watch her and gave her some pain relief and her medication. Haruhi's head went woozy then she fell asleep on Huni's shoulder, he swung in legs back and forth and hummed gently but cheerily to the sleeping girl.

It took me a long time for a good(ish) reason. I was going to finish writing it on Friday but I wasn't feeling too great all day at school and when I got home all I was capable of was sleeping so I fell asleep and 5pm, I'm feeling better now though :)

Also, there is a poll on my profile to decide which story I am going to write next so please look at it and have a good week.
