When Doumeki Haruka died it had been abrupt and during the night and there had been little, if any, suffering at all. Shizuka had closed himself off after that, though was still the good, polite son, but steadfastly alienating himself from the world without the protective influence of his loving grandfather. The first experience of the death of a loved one had hit him hard and, to be truthful, he didn't think he could survive if the person closest to him left his side for any reason.
It had been a month ago when Kimihiro had collapsed in Yuuko's shop for no apparent reason. The witch, with a solemn face and serious voice, had called him immediately, instructing him to get her charge to the hospital as fast as he could. His heart was pounding by the time he stepped into the hospital, calmly walking to the front desk ad inquiring about a doctor with only the barest hint of urgency in his voice. The nurse took one look at the still, pale boy in his arms and picked up the phone, requesting the presence of a professional without delay. Shizuka had relinquished his hold on Kimihiro reluctantly.
Later, after they had examined him, they said he probably wouldn't live out the remaining two months of the current year and it would be a miracle if the disease that had mysteriously appeared didn't kill him. All Shizuka could do while he waited for visiting hours to begin was sit in stoic silence in the waiting room, the anger and depression of his failure to protect his most loved person and trying to get a hold over his fear. Then, after hours of thinking, he did the only think he could think to do.
He wished.

Dun, dun, DUN! Dramatic ending for you all. :) Though I don't quite know how to feel about this one... Also, my class is going on a band trip to Banff (British Columbia) and we'll have no internet. We're leaving on Thursday and getting back on Sunday so tomorrow is my last day to update before there's a two day break. I hope you all don't mind too much... And tomorrow's update will be earlier. Like, middle of the afternoon earlier. However, have no fear, I shall be armed with a notebook, pens, and prompts, so yeah. :D
