Chapter 35

"Before I go, please know that I love you with all my heart…

Before I knew you, before I saw your face

Life had its reasons for keeping love away

Spring turned into summer

And summer turned to fall" – Spoken 'September'

The leaves were changing colors signaling autumn has arrived. At the Hall household sat Trinity and Sapphire in the kitchen. Their brothers were in the living room while their cousin was upstairs and their parents with the boys. Trinity was talking about Joben and how sweet he is to her.

"I'm glad you are happy," said Sapphire.

"Yeah Joben-kun is a sweetheart and I like Hikari, but Raiden is always mean," said Trinity.

"You still are mad at him that he made Raven cry huh," asked Sapphire, smiling at her sister.

"Yeah I'm sort of sad that she went to Osaka for the weekend to be with Shiraishi-san," said Trinity. Sapphire just laughed at her sister.

"You two are best friends for sure," said Sapphire. "Ah I have to take my medicine." Sapphire took out two pills from a pill case and was about to take them, when she stopped.

"Sapphire are you al----SAPPHIRE," yelled Trinity, rushing over to a fainted Sapphire. Everyone ran to the kitchen. It was utter chaos, her father called the ambulance while Toya helped Trinity pick Sapphire up off the floor. The twins grabbed their mother out of the room because Amethyst was freaking out. The ambulance got their in record time and took Sapphire away. The family piled in the car and followed it. Trinity did the only thing she could. She had her sister's cell phone and called Faith.

Faith answered her cell phone. "Yo, Faith here."

"It's Trinity; you have to get to Tokyo Hospital. Sapphire is in trouble."

"WHAT? I'll be right there. Call the others, but make sure Tezuka is the one to tell Fuji, okay?" Faith hung up the phone and ran out of the apartment to Hunter's apartment. She banged on the door. Hunter opened the door, annoyed.

"What's the matter Faith?"

"You got to get me to the hospital, Sapphire is sick or something," said Faith, frantic. Hunter grabbed two helmets that were by the door.

"We'll bring my bike," said Hunter, putting a helmet on Faith's head. Hunter and Faith ran downstairs to her motorcycle. Hunter started it up and Faith sat behind her. The two of them were off. "What hospital?"

"Tokyo," replied Faith over the passing wind. Luckily there was no traffic. Hunter was actually sped the whole way to the hospital, now Faith thought that Hunter would just drop her off at the front entrance. Yeah that didn't happen that way. Hunter actually drove through the hospital doors (the ones with motion sensors) to the front desk. You could see everyone in the hospital sweatdropping including Faith. A doctor approached them.

"You have to remove the motorcycle to outside the hospital," said the doctor.

"Hmm I think I need to check my brakes," said Hunter, absentmindedly. Faith got off the bike.

"Is Hall Sapphire here," asked Faith to the doctor as Hunter took her bike to the parking lot.

"Ah yes she is in intensive care right now. Friend or family," asked the doctor.

"Friend, where is her family?"

"Waiting room, I'll take you," said the doctor, gesturing for Faith to follow him. But to the poor doctor's surprise more kids came running in. In the lead was Fuji, Hikari, Hiroko and Oishi. Then it was Sam, Zoe Claire, Tezuka, Momo, Ryoma, Sakuno, Tomo, Kaidoh, Taka, Eiji, and Inui behind them. "All friends I presume." Everyone nodded. The doctor sighed and began walking to where the Hall family was sitting.

"I didn't think you all come," said Trinity. "But glad you are here."

"What's wrong with Sapphire," asked Faith.

"…She didn't tell you," asked Trinity. Everyone looked at her with the look that said no-now-tell-us. "Well, she had a few things that's wrong with her. One is Iron-deficiency anemia but that's being controlled by iron pills that she takes. And she has a failing heart, right Tou-san?"

"Yes she's been on a waiting list for years for a new one with her blood type," said Matt. "She has an O- blood type."

"But Matt-san," said Oishi. "There is not a lot of O- blood typed people in Japan."

"But the best doctor perform the operation is, but he is extremely hard to get an appointment with," said Matt.

"Che you are just trying for luck," said Hikari. "I know who you are talking about. He works for KaiTech; I'll give him a call."

"No need Kai-sama," said the doctor that they were talking about. "I'm Kuroki-sensei." (Doctors in Japan are referred to as sensei).

"Ah so then I take you were already in the hospital performing a surgery," said Hikari.

"A heart transplant. I was informed that Hall-sensei's oldest daughter was brought in," said Kuroki. "Since I'm here I may as well take a look at her." The kids just watched as the doctors spoke. Faith got up and walked out.

"Where's she going," asked Eiji.

"Probably to get some fresh air," said Sam, not liking hospitals very much. Faith actually went to the chapel that was located in the hospital to pray, which she rarely ever does. Meanwhile Matt and Kuroki-sensei were in the room that Sapphire was currently attached to machines talking.

"We are going to have to wait until we get a match for her blood type," said Kuroki. "She'll have to stay here. But there is something I would like to know?"

"What?"

"Has she been taking her medicine when she's supposed to," said Kuroki.

"Yes," said Matt. "She's always been good about that."

"Well I would like her to get some blood work and some other tests done to see if anything else is wrong," said Kuroki. Matt nodded and hoped that nothing else would be wrong with Sapphire.

"Tou-san, sensei," asked Sapphire's weak voice.

"It's going to be okay Sapphire," said Matt, going over to his daughter.

"I'm in the hospital again," said Sapphire, weakly.

"Yes but don't worry," said Matt. Sapphire smiled the best she could. "Get some sleep okay." Sapphire then drifted back to sleep, when Kuroki frowned.

"Should you be telling her that everything is going to be okay," said Kuroki. "It might get her hopes up."

"It's the only thing I can do," said Matt. Meanwhile Faith was sitting in the chapel, kneeling and praying.

"Please God I know I never really was the best person or been devoted to religion, but please just make Sapphire better. She's too nice to die on me," said Faith. "And she's my best friend and it'll kill so many people for her to leave us this soon. I think Fuji would be the most affected along with her family. So don't take Sapphire." Suddenly Faith realized that she wasn't the only one in the room. Hunter, Toya and Eiji sat next to her and began praying as well.

"It'll be okay," muttered Eiji, holding Faith's hand. However back in Sapphire's hospital room, she was by herself sleeping. But inside her head she was dreaming talking to some dead person.

"Sapphire fight death okay? You can do it."

"What who are you?"

"You know who I am, but you never met me before."

"Why are you here?" Sapphire was sitting up in the hospital bed in her mind looking for the owner of the voice.

"I'm trying to will you not to let your body give up. Your friend prayed to God to help you. So he asked me if I would like to talk to you in your sleeping state. You have people who care."

"I'm in pain, my heart hurts."

"I know you are, but remember Faith, Fuji, Eiji and all your friends, your mother, your father, your sister, your brothers, your family."

"You're right, but it's just my luck that I have a rare blood type. I'll never get the heart transplant I need."

"Chica, don't say that! You have to have faith in God."

"Are you sure?"

"You don't want to die at such a young age. You have dreams and you are in love."

"I do want to live, so I'll listen to you. But can you at least tell me your name?"

"Name's Eddie, that's all you need Sapphire. Just have some faith and things will work out."

"Thanks Eddie."

"No problem chica." The person stopped talking and Sapphire then went into a dreamless sleep. In the waiting room, it was silent. Everyone but Fuji, Amethyst, Matt, and Trinity were either outside or in the chapel. Fuji was going through a crisis in his mind. He wanted to cry right now, but at the same time be sitting next Sapphire. For the first time in his life he was afraid, truly afraid and helpless.

"Fuji-kun," said Matt.

"Hmm?"

"Would like to go see Sapphire?"

"I thought only family could though."

"Yes, but I think you need to see Sapphire."

"Okay," said Fuji, getting up and following Sapphire's father to the room. Matt knew his wife would not be happy with him, but Matt knew from the moment that he saw Fuji and Sapphire interact with each other, he knew. Fuji would be the one to take Sapphire away and make her unbelievably happy. The father of Sapphire left Fuji standing in the doorway of Sapphire's room.

Fuji took a sharp breathe at the sight of Sapphire's weak body, pale and attached to heart monitors and the IV. He stood there and did not move what seemed like hours for him. Eventually he walked in and stood at her bedside.

"Sapphire," whispered Fuji, lightly touching her hand.

"Fuji," muttered Sapphire.

"I'm here now."

"I'm glad." She went back to sleep after that. He looked at her. She looked like death right now. So he leaned over to her ear.

"Don't die on me Sapphire. I love you so much so don't die please." Then he kissed her very lightly on the lips and walked out of the room. Outside of the room Fuji realized that he was crying a little bit. He loved her so much, he really did. So much that it hurt him to see her like that. After a while everything seemed fast forwarding for Fuji and everyone else. There was an accident on a bus and people we brought in wounded. But one girl was in critical condition.

"Matt-sensei we must take Sapphire into the surgery. This girl had O- type blood and she was an organ donor," said Kuroki. Thus Sapphire was taken into perform heart surgery. The girl was meant to die that day, that's the day that God wanted her. And Sapphire's was getting her heart.

As the author does not the details of surgeries for she is not a doctor, but a writer/future lawyer we are going to say that the heart transplant was a success and Sapphire was resting. Now of course Fuji and Amethyst were the ones in the room. Matt was on call so he had to go attend to some patients of his own. Trinity and her brothers decided it would be best if they caught some shut eye. Now we all now Amethyst dislikes Fuji beyond all belief (more so than Hunter hating on Eiji), so she was death glaring Fuji.

"Amethyst-san would you please stop looking at me like that," said Fuji, smiling lightly. He had a strange feeling that Sapphire's mother would never like him. The mother just sighed and looked at her precious baby girl. Suddenly, the monitors that were connected to Sapphire began freaking out and the heart monitor went straight line. Doctors rushed in and Amethyst grabbed Fuji to leave the room. She held him in her arms outside of the room, she was crying. Inside with the doctors, Kuroki was doing everything in his power to calm everything down.

"What the hell happened," said Kuroki, more to himself than anyone else.

Luckily Kuroki-sensei got everything stable. Now despite the fact everyone nearly fainted or cried, everyone was happy after the incident. Everyone but Faith, Hunter, Fuji, and Sapphire's family left. They were waiting for Sapphire to wake up at least before Hunter and Faith would leave.

"She's up," announced Matt, excitedly. Each family member went to see her, and then Faith and Fuji were able to go in.

"Geez Sapphire you had us all worried," teased Faith. "Too bad you'll be resting for next week."

"Haha, thanks for being here," said Sapphire, smiling brightly at Faith.

"Well I have to go but I'll stop by tomorrow after school," said Faith, giving Sapphire a quick hug. "I'll call everyone to tell them that you're okay now." That left Fuji and Sapphire in a silence.

"Saa, Sapphire-chan is all better now right," asked Fuji.

"Yes but I still have to take my iron pills," said Sapphire, smiling still. "You know something weird. I something heard when I was sleeping before the surgery." Fuji unconsciously held his breathe, did she hear him? "I was dreaming and talking to a person to give me hope to leave. And you know he told me that I'm in love. He was right."

"That's so nice Sapphire-chan," said Fuji. Who does she love? He was starting to feel jealous, he didn't realize. The author guesses tensai can be dense too.

"I love you Fuji."

"Saa, really Sapphire."

"I would not lie, Fuji," said Sapphire, with a serious look on her face. She knew that it was probably a mistake to tell him, now things would be awkward. But life is short right?

"I love my Sapphire," said Fuji, kissing her on the lips like he did before. "I'll see you tomorrow because I think your Kaa-san is death glaring me now since she was spying." Sapphire blushed lightly and watched Fuji walk out of the room. And she had a grin on her face when her mother came rushing in freaking out as usual.
