Song Obsession of the Chapter: When you were Young, by The Killers. Some people don't like the killers, but I can't imagine why. They sing with pure epicenes. Like Panic! At the Disco. :D

Kichi groaned, opening her eyes to look up at a pearly white ceiling. A dull aching sensation had settled in her shoulder, and she looked down to see her heavy bandages covering her arm and shoulder.

"What…" Kichi trailed off, looking around the room in confusion. This most certainly wasn't her room. Or any rooms in the Hitachiin mansion, for that matter. Everything had a clean, maintained smell to it, and all of the spotless furniture was such a bright white color, that it burned her eyes when she looked at it too long.

"You're awake," A deep voice said unexpectedly from behind her. Kichi jumped, turning her head around quickly to see who it was.

"Oh… Takashi… you spooked me…" Kichi panted, her heart racing. Takashi was sitting at the chair beside the bed she was sprawled across, and was looking a little worried. "Wait… where am I?"

"Hospital," Takashi responded guiltily, looking down at his feet. "Do you feel okay?"

"Yeah…" Kichi groaned, placing her hand on her shoulder and taking a deep breath. "What happened?"

"You don't remember?" Takashi asked, looking back up at her. "The park?" Suddenly, the memories all came flooding back to her, flashing in front of her eyes. The park. The Gingko trees. The penny. The moving figure, the supposedly raccoon. The fox trap, and the horrible, agonizing pain.

"O-oh…" Kichi murmured, closing her eyes as the scenes replayed through her mind. "I remember…" She squeezed her hands tightly, only to find there was something soft in her hand. Kichi looked down and saw that she was holding Usa-chan. She loosed her grip on the rabbit, and looked down at it fondly. Honey must have really been worried about her if he let her hold Usa-chan, he was practically inseparable from it.

"Kyoya found a note," Takashi added, concerned gleaming in his eyes. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Not really…" Kichi murmured, squeezing her eyes shut. "But I'll manage. Where is everyone else?" She asked, trying to get the subject off of her.

"They had to go home. They will all be back tomorrow. Mitsukuni is still here, he is just getting some food from the Cafeteria," Takashi replied and Kichi nodded. She loved the hosts and all, but she needed some time to heal. She really didn't have the energy to deal with the overdramatic, worried hosts. And quite frankly, it didn't sound too appealing. Honey returned that moment, holding a tray and accompanied by a nurse, who was holding another tray, both laden with cakes.

"You're awake," the nurse stated happily, smiling down at Kichi. "We were hoping that you would wake up soon."

"Yeah… What's the condition of my shoulder?" Kichi asked apprehensively, wondering if she really wanted to know. The nurse smiled kindly, reaching out for a clipboard that was set on the end of her bed.

"No broken bones. Just a torn muscle, and some scarring," the nurse informed her, and Kichi sighed in relief.

"That's not much…" Kichi said gratefully, as Honey looked sadly over to her.

"It looked really bad though," he said childishly, taking a bite out of his cake. "We were all really worried."

"Gomen, I didn't mean too..." Kichi said sheepishly, pushing her hair out of her eyes with her good arm. 'It felt as bad as it looked...' She thought, wincing as she looked back over to the nurse.

"Do you know when I am allowed to leave?" She asked the nurse. The nurse chuckled a little before answering her.

"That's always one of the first questions I get asked." She informed them, turning some papers from the charts. "There are two possibilities. You can go home tomorrow with a cast if you have someone who stays with you at all hours of the day. Or, you can stay here for a week under observation."

"Really? I can go home tomorrow?" Kichi asked eagerly, sitting up a little. She really didn't like hospitals that much. Not that she had ever been to them that often, to her relief.

"So I take it you will have someone with you?" The nurse asked in amusement, and Kichi nodded. She was sure that Kotone would be more then up to the task. And even if she wasn't, there was no way she going to stay here for whole entire miserable week if she could get around it. "Alright then, I will let you talk with your friends then. I have to get back down to the kitchens."

The nurse turned around after writing something else on her chart, and left the room, leaving a comfortable silence behind her. Honey finished all of his cake, then he turned his large brown eyes to her.

"What happened, Chi-chan?" He asked concernedly, and Takashi sent him a reproachful glance. Kichi sighed. She knew that she was going to have to tell someone sooner or later, but that didn't make it anymore pleasant. She might as well tell him now, so she wouldn't have to later.

"Well… I was trying to find a raccoon. But when i was at the place where i thought i had seen it, nothing was there. I started to feel uneasy, I don't really know why… It was just an eerie feeling. So, I backed up, and fell onto something sharp. It hurt a lot. Then I saw something dark. It came up close to me, and then left... I can't really remember anything after that…" Kichi said, squeezing her eyes shut, as she willed the pictures not to display themselves in her mind. She would be so much happier if she could forget the whole thing even happened.

"Oh…" Honey replied, as everything was silent. Kichi tried not to look at anyone, she didn't want to see expressions of sympathy or pity right now. Honey gave Takashi a meaningful look after a minute. "Takashi, can you help me find the bathroom?" Takashi gave him a slightly perplexed look, but nodded all the same.

"Be right back," he told Kichi, who nodded as they left the room. They both walked down a couple hallways, before Honey pulled Takashi around the corner.

"I don't really have to find the bathroom, Kyo-chan texted me a while ago." Honey whispered, pulling out his cell phone, and showing Takashi the message. "There was a threat on the note that was attached to her arm. It wasn't a nice message either, the fox trap wasn't there by coincidence. Her injury was intended" Honey said seriously, as Takashi looked surprised.

"Threat," He repeated, completely shocked at this information. "Who?" Honey shrugged.

"Kyo-chan is trying to find that out now," He said glumly. "But so far, there has been no luck. This person covered their paths really well..."

Takashi sighed, running his hands through his hair. He couldn't believe this was happening, it was hard to grasp the idea of Kichi in the hospital, but now he was being told that she was purposely put in there? What reason could anyone possibly have that would justify any of this?

"We should probably get back," Honey said, breaking Takashi from his thoughts. He nodded stiffly and followed Honey back into the room where Kichi was. She straightened up a little when the entered the room, smiling softly at Honey as she handed Usa-chan back to him.

"Thanks for letting me hold Usa-chan," She told him happily, giving him a hug with her good arm. "Do you know if I am allowed to go down to the cafeteria for dinner," She added uncertainly, attempting to boost herself out of the bed, but only succeeding in adding to the throbbing in her shoulder.

"Of course you're not," Honey said quickly, trying to prevent her from hurting herself any further. Kichi huffed, relaxing back into the bed.

"I hate being treated like I can't do anything..." She muttered, glaring out of the window at the clear blue sky that seemed to be mocking her.

"You're in the hospital, you're not allowed to do anything." Takashi pointed out as she pouted, knowing he was right. "We can go get some food for you."

"That would be great," Kichi said after a minute, deciding that it might be the only way she got food. She was stubborn, but right now her hunger was her first priority.

"Is there anything you want particularly?" Honey asked cutely, thinking about cake. She laughed while shaking her head, amused by his train of thought.

"Anything but sugar. Sorry Honey, it just doesn't sounds that appetizing right now…" Kichi trailed off, smiling apologetically at his frown.

"Are you sure?" He asked, sounding a little let down. Kichi nodded and sighed gravely, turning to go down to the kitchens. "Come on Takashi, let's go get cauliflower..." He added, glancing back at Kichi and hoping this would make her change her mind. She just sighed, relaxing back into the bed. There was no way he was going to convince her to change her mind with cauliflower. Honey sighed, and walked out of the room.

"I'll make sure he won't get cake or cauliflower," Takashi said, smiling slightly at her relieved expression as he followed Honey out the door. "We'll be back soon."

Takashi and Honey walked down to the Cafeteria, Honey verbally debating whether frosting had sugar in it. Takashi mentally rolled his eyes. He had come because he knew this would happen if Honey was put in charge of getting food. Once they had gotten in line, Honey spent most of the time staring over at the cake display case so Takashi took it upon himself to pick out some foods that he thought she might enjoy, which included miso soup. When they finally got up to the counter, Honey finally cracked and bought himself another cake.

They bought the food from a very surprised cook, who had seen Honey down there beforehand, when he had bought his first round of cakes. Honey ignored this as he gloated over his cake, prancing back up the hallway while holding it out at arms they were walking back up to the room, they passed the entrance. They both looked over as the door opened, to see the rest of the hosts walking into the hospital, looking a little worried.

"Kyo-chan!" Honey called out, waving one of his hands to catch their attention. Takashi gave him a puzzled look. He thought that they would all be coming back tomorrow, like Kyoya said. That, and it was getting really late for visitors. Kyoya caught sight of Honey, and strolled over to them with the rest of the hosts trailing behind him.

"This probably shouldn't wait until tomorrow," Kyoya said, answering the look of question on Takashi's face. Honey nodded, looking uneasy. His fear reflected on the faces of the rest of the hosts, except Kyoya. Instead, he looked somewhat sharp, which might have been how he showed his nerves. "Do any of you think that it's a good idea to tell Kichi that someone wants to potentially kill her?"

Takashi inwardly sighed at this. It was something he had been considering when Honey told him. The worst part was, he had no idea how she would react. Most people would panic, but he knew that Kichi was stubborn. If she was panicking, she would think that it was just be another form of showing weakness. So she would repress it, which would only cause more damage. He half didn't want to tell her, for her sake, but it wasn't right. Kichi had every right to know why she was in the hospital.

"My second daughter is in danger…" Tamaki said slowly, still trying to understand the situation. It wasn't that he was incredibly stupid, even if he was a little irresponsible; it was just very hard to accept. "Someone wants her dead…"

"And she deserves to know." Takashi said firmly as Honey nodded slowly, before speaking.

"Yeah... I would want someone to tell me, if I was in her position. Trying to hide it from her would be wrong, and it might just make it a lot worse..."

"Your right…" Haruhi responded, sighing. Both of the twins nodded in agreement. "We have to tell her."

Kichi looked over to the door as it opened, expecting only Honey and Takashi to come in. Instead, all of the rest of the hosts filed inside the door.

"Um… Hello?" Kichi said blankly, clearly not expecting them. "Erm… Nice to see you all?" Haruhi chuckled a little, but otherwise the hosts just nodded mutely. The silence was heavy, burdened with the hosts dread on what was about to happen. Takashi set the tray of food on her bedside table, and she gave him an appreciative glance.

"Thanks," Kichi told him. The silence remained as prominent as before, and she started feeling unnerved by the way they all kept watching her. She picked up the bowl of soup and tasted it, trying to distract herself from their staring. It was the perfect temperature and tasted delicious.

"... There is something we have to tell you," Kyoya said after a long pause. Kichi gave them all another perplexed look, and set down the bowl.

'This can't be good…' She thought silently, aware of the uneasy expressions shared throughout the room. 'This really can't be good.'

"Well… Your injury wasn't an accident. It was the work of someone unknown, who doesn't want you alive. They have made it perfectly clear that they are angry about something, and want revenge. What they are angry about, also remains unapparent to us. The note attached to your arm wasn't a love note either, it was a threat letter." Kyoya informed her, holding up a paper as he spoke. Kichi froze, unable to believe what she was hearing.

"…What?" Kichi asked after a minute, her eyes wide and uncertain. "No… You're joking, right?" Kichi asked again, unable to comprehend what they were telling her. Kyoya sighed again, before correcting her.

"No. I'm very sorry to say that I am not joking. This is real." Kichi paled, her eyes widening as she processed everything he was telling her.

"But… Assassins and things like that only happen in movies or books… This isn't happening… This can't be happening…" Kichi said again. She felt completely winded, and everything seemed to be spinning around her. She tried to suppress her fear, but it wasn't working as much as it used to. It felt like there was some large animal advancing on her, and all she could do was wait for it to come. Takashi put a hand on her shoulder consolingly, looking concerned. Kichi began trembling and reached her hand up to grasp his hand, trying to find some source of comfort or familiarity.

"You probably shouldn't worry too much. I have set my private police force to finding this person. It will only be a matter of time before we figure out who it is." Kyoya told her kindly, and Kichi exhaled. "However, this shouldn't be taken as a joke either. I don't think that you should stay at the twin's home anymore, especially with Yuzaha-sama gone. I have contacted the maid who is looking after you, and she agreed with me. So, if you want to still return home tomorrow, we are going to have to find somewhere else you can stay until we catch the culprit."

"Where am I supposed to stay?" She asked, mainly to herself. She didn't feel like getting an apartment or anything related to that matter. She had been perfectly happy while staying at the Hitachiin mannor.

"Well, I had the idea of you staying with one of the other hosts," Kyoya mentioned, pulling out his notebook as he looked through the contents.

"That's right, you can stay with Daddy!" Tamaki cooed as Kichi paled a little more.

"Uh…" Kichi said after a minute, trying to find a way to refuse without sending Tamaki into his corner. "No," she said tersely, deciding there was no way around it. Tamaki wailed and walked over to his corner, while the hosts ignored him.

"You could stay with one of us!" Honey said, pointing at himself and Takashi. "We have dojos at our house that you could use!"

"Really?" Kichi asked excitedly. Sensei was still out of town, so she hadn't been able to go to the dojo for a while. "That sounds great!" The host's reassurances seemed to be helping her calm down a little. She could still feel a dull anxiety, but it was slowly being diminished by the knowledge that the hosts had her back.

"Oh wait…" Honey faltered, looking upset. "My parents are on a business trip. You're going to have to stay with Takashi, Chi-chan."

"As long as Takashi is fine with it, I'm game," Kichi replied, as all of the hosts looked over at Takashi.

"It's fine," Takashi responded, as Kyoya nodded.

"I think that he would be the best option anyway. But, you should know that you probably shouldn't be in a Dojo for a week," Kyoya said, writing in his notebook again.

"Oh... What the hospital doesn't know, won't hurt them," Kichi said, sticking her tongue out slightly.

"You know I have the power to make them keep you here for a week under observation, right?" Kyoya asked as Kichi glared him.

"You wouldn't," Kichi hissed, narrowing her eyes.

"Yes I would," Kyoya countered, his glasses glinting maliciously.

"Fine. Whatever gets me out of here as soon as possible," Kichi muttered, giving him a dark look. There was no way Kyoya was going to keep her out of the dojo for a week.

"You really don't like hospitals, do you?" Haruhi asked as Kichi gave her an exasperated look.

"How could you like a hospital?" She asked, as Haruhi shrugged.

"It's better than not being able to go to the hospital. And they have good food," She reasoned and Kichi sighed.

"You can take my spot, if you want," she offered, as all of the hosts laughed.

"Actually, I think I am fine," Haruhi responded, smiling at her. "I think i will just mooch some food off of you."

"Whatever floats your boat..." Kichi replied, rolling her eyes.

Oh. My. Jeez. That was a hard chapter to write. I got stuck a couple times, and detail was a jerk. But, it is done now, and do you know what that means? :D YOU CAN REVIEW! I know, you read the WHOLE chapter so you could, so please do. Or I will send my English teacher after you, to give you large amounts of essay homework. (Yeah, guess what i just finished... DX I will give you a hint, it has nothing to do with fun.) So. I am tired, and my dad is impatient for the computer, so Ta-ta for now! (And review!)
