Shin was still on her room..still holding her hands.. he still doesn't want to let go.. no matter what happens he won't..

Shin was looking, staring at her on this very moment.. he doesn't want to see her in such a situation

Her condition right now was total opposite of her usual hyper and always worked up personality he loved..he don't give a damn whenever they argue, he don't give a damn whenever she and he had to run around kicking someone else's asses for god's sake.. he liked.. he liked their relationship that way..

but seeing her like this.. it hurts him.. it hurts him so much that it was piercing his heart..and breaking it into pieces..

"Kumiko.." he muttered her name before a flash of their conversation last night came on his mind..

"what if I became like sleeping beauty? and I sleep for too long? will you wait for me..? or find someone else?"

"I would wait.. no matter how long it would take for you to woke up.. I would still wait.. coz your love was worthy of thousand years of waiting.."

"What if you get tired of waiting?"

"Idiot, I would never get tired of waiting for you,"

he smirked..

"This this a test, to prove if I would do what I actually said last night?" he said.. before he kissed her hands and held it close his face..

"You don't have to worry coz I will.. I will keep my promise.. I will wait for you.. even if it takes me a thousand years.. I will coz I love you.." he whisper.. "and I will never give up on someone I love.." he added..

Meanwhile outside their room came the 3D guys from Shirokin,Kurogin and Akadou [former and present] who have assembled in full force.. the ringleaders of the four class followed by their classmates in complete number run as they find the old man sitting on the bench in front of her room.. that place in the hospital was filled with guys from 3D. it's a good thing that it was somehow spacious enough to let everyone stay..

"Ojii-san" Uchiyama called him.. [apparently all of Yankumi's class from 1st to 4th called her grandfather "Ojii-san" the same way he consider them one of his own]

"Omeira.." he looked at them with teary eyed which makes them feel even more nervous..

"We heard what happened..is Yankumi alright?" Ren asked..

The old man shook his head.. "They said her condition was bad..she's in a coma state right now.. there's only a 50-50 chance for her to wake up and come back to us" he said in an ill voice..

The 3D guys felt that as if they were hit by a lightning directly in their hearts.. there's a possibility that Yankumi might die.. all of them were thinking.. feeling useless.. not knowing how could they help her.. she's done many things for her.. and yet.. they can't do anything to save her..

Hayato, Ryu, Ren,Yamato, Reita and Uchiyama & the rest of the guys' face can't be painted. mix of anger,confusion,helplessness and most of all sadness were wrapping all of them..

"How about Shin? did he knew already?" Noda asked..his voice were trembling.. all of them were trembling coz of fear.. all them.. a bunch of delinquents.. a bunch of strong guys, troublemakers, and known for having ill manner and strong front.

all of them...were crying...

all of them were terrified.. terrified to lose someone that changes their future.. someone who believed in them..someone who loved them and still loving them whole-heartedly.. someone they cannot afford to lose... someone they trusted...

...someone they loved...

"He's already with her.." he motioned referring inside the room..

the guys were concerned on their so-called grandfather's health as well.. they all know that even if he was to be considered as one of the strongest man in the country they cant deny the fact that he's old and is already prone to sickness.. so they convinced him to rest.. that they would take care of everything..that they would take care of Yankumi.. at first he doesn't want to obey the young men's decision, for he had to be with her as soon as she woke up but gave up when Kyou backed them and told him to rest as well.. that after a nap they would come back to the hospital to see her awake,alive and kick'n again..

After their grandpa got home the room opened, they gaze to only to see Shin staring back at them..

"You guys.." he said.. his voice were shaking and his eyes are still carrying some tears..

Really! Yankumi is really something she had managed to make the strongest delinquent in Japan to cry, she'd also managed to make the strongest and most powerful yakuza boss weak enough that he had to be beaten in an argument by some silly bunch of students..

The guys helped in comforting Shin.. he sat with the rest of the ringleaders.. no one dared to ask him about her current condition coz they knew..they knew already how her condition was.. others decided to buy some drinks for the rest of the guys while others went to somewhere to ask about her condition.. others decided to went out and breathe some air..

Shin knew that all of them just wanted to wake up from this aweful nightmare they were sharing.. All of them were just hoping this is just a nightmare.. coz if it's indeed reality.. then living in the dreamworld would be better..

Shin leans his back on the bench then close his eyes.. they boys' knew how tired he was.. it was obvious.. even someone as dense as Yankumi could tell that even with just looking at him...

The guys admired how strong Shin was.. he was keeping his cool and getting a hold of himself together.. if they are on his position they would've broke apart...

He once again open his eyes and looked at them..

"Go he see her.. she must be wanting to see you guys aw well.. but it'd better if only two would enter at time.." he said..the guys nodded.. they let Hayato and Ryu come in first..
