Doctors and nurses rushed down the halls and pushed passed the Guardians and into Akane's room. They were all talking at once and moving everywhere.
The Guardians were told to leave but they couldn't find the strength to move their legs. Kukai kept in the back with Daigo to keep him from watching the scene forming in front of him. Aoi stood in shock next to Haru as she watched her sister die for the nth time.
The doctors called clear and shocked Akane's heart, causing her entire body to just jump from the bed but the heart monitor continued in a straight line. They called for higher volts and then tried again. This continued for a few more times until the doctors notice no change.
"Dammit," cursed one of the doctors.
Conclusions started to form in everyone's mind.
She's gone.
She's dead.
Her heart failed.
No! Wake up...Wake up! You can't leave me!
Aka...Akane!
The Doctor took out a needle from his pocket and injected it in her chest, right into her heart. Everything was quiet now as they waited. They waited for what was a minute until the heart monitor picked up a continuous heart beat. The doctor sighed in relif while the others cheered. The Guardians sighed as well, while Aoi fell to her knees in relief. But everyone got quiet when they heard a groan.
Everyone crowded around the bed as Akane woke up from her coma.
She looked stressed as she was waking up. Her heart rate picked up a little too. But eventually, her eyes opened but they weren't their natural green color.
"You didn't take out her contacts?" Haru hissed at the doctors.
"We did."
"What?"
Haru turned back to Akane who's eyes were searching the room but it was obvious she was starting to panic with her heart rate racing. "Where...Am I? Its so dark."
"Hanaki Akane." She gasped at the unfamiliar voice and tried to push the person away. He grabbed her wrists and held her down but her eyes moved everywhere trying to find the person in the black abssy she now sees. "Hanaki Akane, you're in the hospital. Calm down. Its bad for your health. We're not going to hurt you." Slowly, she started to relax against the doctor's grip. "Now, how do you feel?"
"How am I suppose to feel when I wake up not being able to see anything?" she barked. Then she gasped, "Wait! How did I get here! Is the fight over? I didn't kill them did I? Please tell me the others are okay? And what about my little sister and brother?"
"Akane."
"Aoi?" Akane's gray eyes searched everywhere trying to find the source of the voice but in the end, settled for looking up at the ceiling. "Are you there, Aoi? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. Everyone's here with me. You've been out for a week."
"A week! But...how? I only remember being knocked out during the fight. I've only been asleep for a few hours...I think."
"You weren't, Akane."
"Nagi-hiko?"
"Yeah. After you were knocked out, the police came. The Stones was finally shut down. The Director and your manager were put away."
"R-really?"
"Really."
The doctors asked for them to leave for awhile, to fill Akane in on her condition. They waited outside her room for the doctors to come out. When they did, they walked back inside where Akane was sitting up in her bed, staring blankly at the sheets.
"They say that my blindness is only temporary."
"That's good news...I guess," Haru said. Everyone saw how her body perked up at Haru's voice. Unlike before, her eyes didn't search the room, she was waiting to hear him speak again. "We're all really glad your awake."
"Thanks. But whats happened while I was out?"
They all took their turn explaining to her what happened in the pass week. It even gave her the chance to start recognizing their voices now that she's blind. With everything explained the room got quiet.
"I can't believe it's finally over. I'm finally free from those people," she smiled.
"But...weren't you looking for the embryo to get your parents back?" Yaya asked.
"Yes...but with all the eggs I pulled out, there was no sign of the embryo. I dont think it exsits."
"So what are you going to do now?" Ikuto asked.
"I...dont know...I guess I'm going to wait until I'm not blind anymore and then go looking for them."
"What?"
"Your just going to leave?"
Akane nodded, "I can ask the police if they found any files on where my parents are when closing down the building. Then I can go look."
"But what about school? Aoi and Daigo?The Guardians?...Me?"
With her ears now becoming scensitive, she was able to pin-point where Haru was standing. She settled her hazed eyes on him, "School's almost over. Once it is, I'll go. If Aoi and Daigo want to come with me they can. I won't object to it. But I'd rather have them stay here in Osaka. As for the rest of you...I dont know. You've all done so much for me by bringing down The Stones. But I need to find my parents."
"But Aka-"
"Haru...I need to find my parents."
Haru stayed quiet as Akane continued to frown at him. He turned to the others and said, "Can you guys leave us alone? You should go check if Amu's been discharged yet."
"Alright."
They each said good bye to Akane except for Aoi and Daigo that said they'll go to the cafetira. Akane listened to all the footsteps walk out of the room and heard the door click shut behind one of them. Their steps were quiet so she couldn't tell who closed the door. Ikuto? Nagihiko? But the new set of footsteps she knew belonged to Haru who was still in the room. She felt the bed sink in alittle as he sat down in front of her. When she felt his hand on hers she couldn't help but feel all of the lines of his palm on the back of her hand.
"I understand you want to find your parents...But I want you here with me. Please."
"Haru, I-"
"I love you, Akane." Her heart skipped a beat at his confession, it was even picked up on the heart monitor. She felt so happy. "I've made so many mistakes with you. I've always loved you but I didn't realize it until the night that you told me that you loved me...unfortuanly the night you were drunk. Everything became so clear to me. I wanted you and only you. I'm not going to make the same mistake by letting you leave. Let the police look for your parents. Please. Just...don't leave me."
"You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that." She turned her hand up and held Haru's, giving it a small squeeze. "And I don't want to leave you either...But Aoi and Daigo have gone through so much already. I have too. We want our parents back. I didn't go through all of this just so that I couldn't get my parents back on my own. I'm sorry, Haru. But I've made up my mind. I'm going to look for them."
"Fine...But promise that you'll come to me."
"I promise."
Haru leaned in and pressed his lips against Akane's. She didn't see it coming (Literally). Her hazed eyes were wide in shock but eventually, she closed them and kissed back.
Things were going to be different from now on.
Its been a month now and The Guardians and Haru were sitting in the Royal Garden eating another one of Rima's cakes. Since the day she made her first cake, she's been looking up other cake recipes to make for everyone. Nagihiko would watch her bake and then would start fantasising Rima as his wife. Utau's shoulder finally healed and she's returned to writing more songs and now that everyone knows that she's dating Kukai, she's free to go out with him without hiding it. Yaya's arm healed as well and now Kairi doesnt have to worry as much but she admits that she liked the attention he gave her. Tadase finally didn't have to use the brace anymore so he didnt have to walk with a limp anymore. Haru's black eye was gone although he never told Akane that he had one so it wouldn't upset her. Amu was fully recovered thanks to Su and her medicine. Ikuto always walks her home and then stays for a few hours just to be with her since he almost lost her. As for Akane, she's gotten use to not seeing anything and relying on her other senses. The Doctors said it was temporary but that didn't mean she was going to get her vision back in a week. She's been staying with Daiki who's really proven to be a great friend.
Everyone is helping her getting around places since she's still going through therapy to learn how to be blind. Although she can't see, she still goes to school and is still getting good grades. She would take her tests seperatly from everyone else since she would have her test read outloud. Plus, Haru and Akane were finally a couple and so were Kasumi and Raiden. When Ikuto's father found out that Akane and Haru were Kasumi and Raiden, he quickly signed them onto Easter as new artists. But right now, Kasumi and Raiden are on break to let Kasumi recover from The Stones.
Tomorrow was the last day of school and the Guardians were planning Ikuto a graduation party. Of course, the graduating senior already knew about the party planning since he could see right through his girlfriend's lies. But he was still going to act surprise just to please them.
"Hey, minna, we should go to the amusement park!" Kukai cheered.
"Isn't that a little dangerous?" Tadase asked.
"Why would it be dangerous?"
"Hellllooo?" Akane said waving her hand in front of her face.
"Oh yeah -_-''
"We should go somewhere where we all can have fun," Yaya smiled.
"But where?"
Everyone put on their thinking caps when both Utau's and Akane's face lit up. "Karaoke!"
"Oh no O.o"
~To Karaoke! XD~
Everyone walked inside the karaoke club and that was bouncing with music and a girl singing on stage. Lights were flashing and moving along with the sound of the beat. Just what they needed. Utau jumped up in excitment and then grabbed Akane's hand and ran off with her to sign all of them up to sing except for Kairi, Ikuto, and Tadase who refused to sing. They were complaining about it the entire way to the club.
While Utau and Akane were signing them up, the rest found a large table to sit and then ordered drinks, Kukai and Haru ordering for the girls.
Ikuto sat close to Amu with his arm over her shoulder talking to Haru about how things were going recording with his dad. Amu held onto Ikuto's arm as she talked to Rima sitting next to her as she played with Nagihiko's fingers as they held hands. Yaya was sucking on a lolipop as she listened to Kairi and Nagihiko talk. Kukai was talking to Tadase pointing out girls in the club that Tadase might have an interest with but he blushed embarrased and shook his head but that didn't stop Kukai. Nope, Utau did.
"And why exactly are you looking at other girls?" she crossed her arms, a flaming aura around her.
"Wait, Utau, its not what you think. I'm just trying to hook up Tadase with someone," Kukai tried to save himself.
"Oh? Then let him do that!" she yelled at him.
"I'm sorry!" he shrunk in his seat.
"Oh, relax, Utau. Everyone knows Kukai's crazy for you," Akane laughed shaking Utau's hand that she was holding so she wouldn't get lost.
"Hmm, fine," Utau said stubbornly but her blush gave it away.
Kukai chuckled and pulled Utau in for a kiss. It got really intense between the two of them that Ikuto pulled Kukai by the collar, "Yo. Just cause your a friend of mine doesnt mean I wanna watch you make-out like that with my sister"
"S-sorry."
For the time being, as they waited for their names to be called, the were all enjoying being together and just having fun. Utau and Akane were going crazy with the music. With Utau's help, she and Akane were in the crowd by the stage bouncing with everyone. Their love for music was crazy. Seeing how much fun those two were having by the stage, the rest of the girls went to join them.
The guys were just talking and laughing at the table. When...
"Alright! Wasn't she great! Now, our next singer is a Souma Kukai."
Kukai, who was drinking from his soda at the moment, spit out his drink, "Huh!"
"Get up there Soccer Boy!"
"Ugh! Fine."
~Time Skip (I'm saving the songs ;) )~
Everyone cheered as Amu stood their shyly on stage. She waved bye to everyone then ran off stage and into Ikuto's lap.
"Ah, that was amazing! XD" she said, hugging Ikuto causing him to smirk but she was having too much fun to notice.
"You were great, Amu," Rima smiled.
"You were too Rima."
"I found it really funny that none of them realized that Utau was the one singing her own song," Akane laughed.
"It's not my fault that everyone in this freaking room is drunk as hell!" Utau fumed.
"No, what was funny was when Akane was up there singing. She looked so professional walking across the stage, singing, but at the end of the song everyone was just waiting for her to get off XD."
"And then it got really quiet and then she got on the mic and said, "Nagihiko cleared his voice and then used is Nadeshiko voice, "Uh..Minna, I'm still blind you know. People started to rush to help her off stage!"
Kukai, Nagihiko, Haru, and Utau started laughing their asses off as Akane crossed her arms and pouted, "Hey! Don't pick on the blind kid."
Everyone was enjoying themselves as everyone else in the club had a chance to go.
It was getting late and people were already leaving, also counting the Guardians. They all waved good-night and then headed their separate ways.
~Kukai and Utau~
"That was so much fun, "Utau smiled as she stretched up.
"You mean funny ;)."
She giggled, "That too."
"So we got everything for Ikuto's graduation party tomorrow?"
"Everything's all set."
"Sweet." Kukai placed his arm over Utau's shoulder, turning her in into a kiss. They were outside her house, on the steps now. He pressed her against the stoop railing and deepened the kiss. He licked at her lip, begging for entrance and she gave in. They didn't part for air until they heard the front door opened and someone clearing their throat. They quickly pulled away and stared down at their shoes instead of the man in front of them.
"H-Hey, dad. I thought you and mom weren't going to be home til late," Utau said shyly.
"We just got home."
"O-oh."
"Evening, Tsukiyomi-san. Tell the Mrs I said hi. Night Utau," Kukai said quickly, pecking Utau on the cheek and running off, afraid of the violinist.
Utau looked at her father and placed her hands of her hips, "You scared him."
"Good. If I wasn't here who knows what you two what of done," he shook his head.
"Dad!"
~Tadase~
It was quiet as Tadase clicked the end button on his phone and sighed. He just got off the phone with one of his fan-girls that had gotten his number and asked me out again. Of course he apologized and rejected the confession since he didn't even know how the girl looked like. He thought to all of the others and how they had someone special to them.
Wonder when I'll find someone, he thought looking up at the night sky as he sat down on the swing. He laughed as he remembered Kukai trying to help him pick out a girl at the club but it only caused Utau to be jealous.
"You know, laughing out of nowhere, people will think you're crazy."
Tadase stopped laughing and turned around in the swing, his pink eyes widening at the person standing behind him.
~Yaya and Kairi~
"It's too bad that you didn't sing, Kairi."
"I don't have much of a voice, Yaya. Gomen."
"Hmm...It's okay," she smiled and then kissed his cheek. She pulled out her house keys and opened the door. Inside, the living room, the lights were turned out. "Mama and Papa must asleep already."
"Well, it is pretty late."
"Want something to eat?" she asked, turning the lights on and taking her shoes off.
"Waters fine."
He sat down on the couch laying back, and closing his eyes. He's been over so much that its like a second home to him. He's very comfortable around the Yuiki's. He was starting to drift off when something-or someone-started poking his cheek. Opening his eyes, he saw Yaya kneeling by him with a glass of water, smiling happily. He smiled back and propped hisself up on his elbow and gladly took the glass from Yaya. He drank the water quickly as Yaya sat against the couch and turned on the tv.
This was their relationship. It was calm. No drama. No fights. Just the pleasure of being with each other. Just how they liked it.
(sorry. I know that was really corny -_- but i dont write alot of yairi so I dont know wat i'm doin T^T)
~Rima and Nagihiko~
"Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot!"
"Ha! Paper beats Rock!"
Nagihiko stared at his fist, still not able to believe that he just played that childish game with his girlfriend to pick who was cooking. He looked over at Rima who was sticking her tongue playfully at him. He smirked at her but she didn't notice since she was too busy jumping over her couch and turning on the tv. She sat there giggling as she watched comedians tell jokes. Nagihiko walked around the couch and sat down next to her.
"What are you doing? You have to be cooking," she stuck her tongue out at him again but this time, Nagihiko caught it.
He easily slipped his tongue into her mouth causing her to moan accidently. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he gently laid her down on the couch. His violet hair tickled Rima's face but she didn't mind. Nagihiko pulled away for air as they were both panting and he smirked, "Do I still have to cook?"
Rima blushed and pushed him off, "Shut the hell up! You're still cooking."
"God dammit! I can't win!"
~Akane and Haru~
Haru held Akane's hand as he led her to Daiki's apartment. He's gotten use to being her eyes when it was just the two of them. When they were with the others, they'd led her by holding her hand or turning her by the shoulders in the right direction. Haru on the other hand would tap her hand a number of times depending on whats up ahead. 1 tap for a turn. 2 if someone's up ahead. 3 to stop and so on. Although this was helpful, Akane tried her best to use her senses. They were much more sensitive now than ever and she was starting to fear when she would get her sight back.
She rubbed her eyes for the hundredth time that night and Haru looked at her, "Something wrong with your eyes?"
"They've been hurting lately. Before it just burned just a little. Now it hurts like crazy," she continued to rub her eyes.
"You want to go to the hospital?"
"N-no. I'm fi-AH!" She sucked air through her teeth and covered her eyes with her hands. "They burn! Haru!"
She squeezed Haru's hand as she covered her eyes. Haru pulled Akane up and stood by the street and quickly stopped a cab. He helped her in and told the man to drive to the hospital.
"Haru..." AKane reached out for him since she was no longer holding his hand.
"I'm here...I'm here."
~Amu and Ikuto~
Amu walked out of her bathroom, dressed for bed and drying her pink hair with her towel. She looked over at her bed and giggled when she say Ikuto's motionless body laying there with one of her mangas resting open on his face. His chest raised and fell steadily, He must of fallen asleep while I was taking a shower.
Just turned to where her charas slept and found them all in their eggs, even Yoru's egg was with them. She quietly walked over to her bed and tried not to move the bed as she sat down. Gently, she pulled the manga off her boyfriend's face. She wanted to squeal like a fan-girl at the sight of Ikuto sleeping soundly like a cat. His eyelids hid his amazing blue eyes and his mid-night blue hair was soft to the touch, like a cat's coat. Amu brushed his hair away from his face but accidently brushed his ears, causing him to stir and wake up.
His eyes almost glowed the light hit them and he smirked up at her, "What exactly were you doing, Amu dear?"
"N-nothing," she blushed as she watched him stretch out like a cat. She was holding back the erge to tackle him in a hug and treat him like a cat. But the erge was strong and it didn't help that he popped out his cat ears and tail for no apparent reason. "Kya!"
"Whoa!"
Amu tackled Ikuto down on the bed and started playing with his ears and petting his hair. While Amu was enjoying herself, Ikuto questioned her sanity although he was actually enjoying this. Eventually, the two of them fell asleep like that. Ikuto resting his head on Amu's stomach while she left her hand resting on his head.
So, I've declared there is only 2 or 3 more chapters left. And I'm thinking about writing a sequel. I already have ideas for it. Review and tell me if I should write a sequel or not.
R&R
