Chapter 21: This is Goodbye
The gang of friends practically leapt off the bus once they reached Suna. They had got the bus driver to drop them off at the hospital. They all ran inside, attempting to all fit through the door at once. They all ran over to the registration desk.
"Can I help you?" the receptionist politlely asked.
"We're here to see Kimiko Morino and Kiba Inuzuka!" exclaimed Ten-Ten, panting like the others.
"Well, Miss Morino is in room 65B and Mr Inuzuka is in room 19D" said the lady, checking the computer.
"How is their condition?" asked Hinata.
"I'm not completely sure, ask the nurses that are there" explained the lady.
"Thanks very much!" exclaimed Ten-Ten, before all of them shot down the hall.
"Boys see Kiba, girls see Kimmy!" declared Temari.
They all nodded and split up.
The group of girls burst through the door to Kimiko's room. The nurse turned to them.
"Miss Morino, you have visitors!" announced the nurse.
The girls all entered the room, and laid their eyes upon Kimiko. She was heavily bruised and scarred, but her eyes were almost fully open, telling them she was concious.
"Oh, hi guys" she whispered.
"KIMIKO! WHAT HAPPENED!?" yelled Sakura.
"Um... well..." mumbled Kimiko, shifting positions so she sat upright.
"Well? Why did you and Kiba try to commit suicide?" asked Ino.
"Suicide? What are you talking about Ino?" asked Kimiko, frowning.
"It says in the paper that you two tried to commit suicide! Was it because you were moving? Like a Romeo and Juliet thing?" asked Sakura.
"You have it all wrong" replied Kimiko, shaking her head.
"Then tell us! What happened that night?" exclaimed Hinata.
"Well, I went to the rooftop to clear my head" started Kimiko,"Eventually Kiba came and joined me. We were talking for a while... then we kissed... then... um..."
"C'mon! Try and remember!" exclaimed Chiyo.
"Then... we were pushed..." said Kimiko.
"By who!?" asked Ten-ten, startled.
"All I remember were these scary eyes that were so bloodthirsty... " muttered Kimiko,"After falling it all goes blank"
Then the door opened, Sai was there, the other boys were out in the hallway brooding.
"I need to talk to Kimiko" stated Sai.
The girls nodded and left the room.
Sai walked over to her bedside.
"Hey Sai" she greeted.
"Hey Kimiko" Sai greeted back.
"So what do you want to talk to me about?" asked Kimiko.
"It's about... Kiba" muttered Sai.
"W-what happened to him?" asked Kimiko shakily.
"He... well..."
"Is he dead?" whispered Kimiko.
"No, he's very much alive, but..." muttered Sai.
"Just tell me Sai!" exclaimed Kimiko angrily.
"Ok ok!" said Sai,"Kiba... well.. his head was hit pretty bad from the fall, and well, he's got a bad case of amnesia"
"So? That will go away right?" asked Kimiko.
"Well, the doctors said it was a sevre case, and there are certain things that he'll never get back! He doesn't remember any of us!... Even you..." explained Sai, looking sad.
Kimiko sat there stunned for a moment, but then smiled slightly.
"Oh well" she said,"I-I was leaving anyway... s-so I guess this just saves a teary goodbye!"
Sai gave her a sypathetic look. She simply smiled back, obviously holding back tears.
All of a sudden a middle age woman and 2 younger women come through the door.
"Kimiko!" cried one"Pack up! We're going home!"
"Mother! Sisters!" exclaimed Kimiko,"But I must say goodbye to my friends!"
"Nonsense!" her mother yelled,"They don't matter. What matters is growing inside you!!"
Kimiko frowned and gritted her teeth, but complied with her mother's orders. Kimiko quickly packed what was out of her suitcase and they left the room, Kimiko in a wheelchair. Kimiko stared down at her hands in her lap.
"Kimiko! Wait up!!"
Kimiko, looked behind her family to find Ten-Ten running up to them. Ten-Ten handed her a piece of paper with numbers on it.
"Stay in touch!" exclaimed Ten-Ten, beginning to cry.
"I will! I'll never forget any of you or your kindness to me!" exclaimed Kimiko, also crying.
Ten-Ten and Kimiko continued to wave to one another until Kimiko was no longer in sight.
'None of us will ever forget you my friend!' Ten-Ten thought,'You will live on in our hearts forever! Especially Kiba's!'
