The doctor was a bit surprised regarding the sudden entry of Ryo so oddly. As soon as Saeko got hold of Ryo, Miki rushed to help her. It was then that Miki exclaimed "My God, Falcon, Ryo-San's burning hot!" Hearing this, the Doctor came to prompt aid too. Ryo was laid on the bed not far from Kaori's where he was unconscious. Saeko was the one who noticed it first "Why does the right sleeve seem wet?" she wondered. As soon as she took a glimpse, all was clear to her. Ryo was bleeding profusely. His right elbow had a deep wound not only that, his head bore several injuries that were probably the result of his fall with Kaori from the construction site. With her experienced eyes the doctor checked the wounds, and it was not much later that she brought out a sharp stone deeply embedded in the flesh of his right elbow just above the joint. "My god! What does this man deal with?" she exclaimed within herself. Miki turned her face away when she pulled the stone out of his wound. She looked at his unconscious face, he was muttering something; she brought her ears closer to his mouth. "Don't worry Kaori! I won't be leaving you this time! I promise. Trust me on this one. I won't leave, I just won't!" was all she could hear. "Poor you! Still thinking about Kaori, are you? Is this what's called true love?" Miki wondered in her mind. Saeko could read his lips too, she was about to call out his name, when with a loud cry of "KAORI" Ryo cat back up on the bed. He was panting, his eyes were big! It seemed that he had had a nightmare! "How are you feeling now? You have fever…. - Oh no no. You're not getting up. You need to rest! Stay down!" The doctor had exclaimed as she saw he was about to get up from the bed. Umibozu stopped her, "It's no use. You can't stop him. When it comes down to her (pointing to Kaori) there's no stopping him. Only she's the one he is intimidated to! Let him up!" Saeko got him by his shoulder "Ryo, rest down for a bit! Please" Ryo just asked her 3 words "How is she?" Saeko said nothing, just implemented to her bed with a gesture of her eyebrows. Just then the feeble voice became prominent in the room "R…y….o, h….ey R….yo!" seemed like someone was calling out Ryo's name in a faint whisper. Ryo was beside Kaori's bed in a flash, in spite his injuries. Saeko painstakingly observed that Ryo couldn't even stand straight, he needed the help of Miki to stand on his legs, still with a lot of difficulty, he sat on the stool beside her bed. "How're you, Sugar boy?" he asked in the softest voice of the world, looking at those big eyes looking straight in his! "Been hi…tting on…the…girls?" Kaori was awake, she asked with a bit of frown on her face, with sleepy eyes. Ryo's lips had a gentle smirk as he nonchalantly bent his head low, "You won't change, ever Kaori! Would you?" he whispered. Kaori had a faint gleam on her face too, as she slowly put up her palm of her right hand. Ryo understood the gesture and held it! "Don't…..leave….. you idi…..ot!" she whispered. Ryo too said in the soft tone that was characteristic of him "Never ever again Kaori! I won't ever leave you again! I promise." Just then Saeko had her phone ringing, and she went out of the room to take the call. It so seemed that the call was from someone she knew very well. Umibozu faced towards her exit from the room as Miki was busy checking on Kaori. Kaori again muttered something, but now her eyes were closed. None but Ryo could hear that. He attentively heard "Don't, d-don't do it! I can't marry you! I just can't! I love him. You can't erase him from my memories. He is right here beside me." Then she shouted in her sleep "You hear that?" Ryo could get a superficial hold on the situation but the full scenario was not at all clear enough for him. Just then, he recalled something, and looked at the door. Saeko was still standing there. His glance again revolved to Kaori; she was sleeping yet again. With a great deal of difficulty, he got up from the stool and proceeded towards Saeko, all the while bearing a serious expression on his face, because he knew that if he showed them that he was hurt badly too, all of the people would lose their hopes. And with Kaori there, how could he let that happen?
"Aren't you forgetting something Saeko?" asked Ryo, putting his hand on her shoulder. Nogami Saeko answered back "What would that be Ryo? And what do you think you're checking? Whether I am wearing my panties or not?" Saeko looked down, and so did Ryo! The matter was nothing except Ryo's other hand was hovering over her butt! "He he, how did it go over there? I wonder, Do…." Ryo was about to say something with an idiotic face but he was cut short by a sudden deadly slap from Miki! "Kaori san is there on bed. We don't even know whether she is gonna wake up or not! And even in this situation Ryo….. How could you? Don't you care about her even by the least?" Ryo said nothing, just stood up from the ground, and then limped towards the exit with a smirk on his face. Umibozu asked in a grumpy voice "What should I tell her?' Ryo said nothing, just waved his hand over head gesturing "Nothing". Saeko was beside Miki, she said "He may not look like it, but there is not a person sadder than him watching her quiet, lying down on the bed. You shouldn't have hit him Miki!" Umibozu was beside them too "Yes Miki, you shouldn't have slapped the moron. He is burning inside himself. That's the reason he came back, that's the reason he came with her in the first place. And Saeko, I think you should inform your department that your car is missing." Saeko looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?" she asked. "Look at your hip, I bet the keys are missing!" Saeko was stunned as she ran her hands over her hip where she always kept the keys to the police car she was given from the department. Indeed, they were missing!
