Note: I'M BACK~~! Well, kind of. I am so sorry for not writing AT ALL for the past few months. Life's just been too hectic and I've just been so busy and it's all just-AHH! But anyways, I'm back with the second chapter of this story! Hooray! Before we begin, here are some answers to your reviews:

animelover6798: Thank you for the review! And wait no longer! The second chapter is here~!

Queen of Hearts and Spades: If you want to know what happened to Shun...I guess you better continue reading! ;)

Cup of Violet Tea: Hmmm...is Alice really going to sacrifice her eye for Shun? I don't know, let's find out, shall we? ;)

InnocentDiamond: Haha, thank you so much! I try my best to be creative with my story titles. I'm not going to go too in-depth about what exactly happened to Shun that he ended up like this, but basically, he was outside of Interspace brawling, the battle got heated and he ended up like this. (You can fill in the blanks about who he battled, etc! :3)

cherry-tree-of-life: Um...I forgot to mention it and I kind of thought that it was implied, but Masquerade is the doctor? I wanted someone who was quite close to Alice to be a doctor (that wasn't her grandfather, Michael Gehabich) to be a strong character in this tense situation. And I decided to choose Masquerade. I am terribly sorry for not mentioning that earlier.

Guest: This is kind of a long story. So, basically, I had a previous account on here before some events in life occurred. I am now starting over with this new account. The original story for this was mine's, so yes, it was a true plot. However to you, it may seem "copied" because I haven't finished the original story on my previous account. I decided to rewrite the original story on this new account. Hope it makes sense to you.

Chapter 2

The hospital was deadly quiet except for the sounds of an empty can of Ramune soda bottle hitting the rim of the trash can before clinking with three other soda bottles that was just recently finished. A sigh escaped from the only visitor outside of the hospital rooms as said visitor trudged wearily through the halls.

Dan Kuso was forced to go outside of Shun's hospital room by Fabia, who scolded him for staying with Shun for too long and told him to go outside for some fresh air to help calm him down. Going outside of the room didn't help Dan calm down in anyway; it just made him that more anxious to return back to his friend's room to check up on him. One of the best-if not, the best-Bakugan players felt that if he wasn't checking up on the ninja every half an hour or so, he would go mad with anxiety. Dan had been wracked with guilt for not saving his best friend. Even though the events that caused the ninja to lose both of his eyes was inevitable and there was nothing that Dan could have done to stop it, he still felt guilty.

As he was less than four rooms before he got to Shun's room, he noticed Christina Petrov, Masquerade's one and only nurse, wheeling around an electric-full-body-patient-lift as well as a gurney, heading towards Shun's room. Fearing the worst, the brunette sprinted in after the redhead.

"Christina? What's going on? What are you doing to Shun?" Dan rambled as he watched the machine lift Shun's unconscious body off from his bed onto the gurney.

"Please calm down, Dan." Christina let out a sigh of relief as she tried to wheel the gurney out of the room and down the hall.

"Dan, Masquerade's found an eye donor for Shun. He's going to do the ocular surgery now." Fabia informed Dan as the two followed the nurse to her destination.

"B-But he doesn't know!" He protested.

"Masquerade said that he has to do it immediately and I think Shun would be able to see with one ey-" The Neathian princess was unable to finish her sentence as the nurse stopped in front of the entrance that led to the surgery rooms.

"Well, here we are. No visitors allowed, Dan." The brunette grinned sheepishly as the redhead narrowed her emerald eyes at him. "This might take at most, two hours. Please wait out here until we are done." With that, Christina disappeared, wheeling Shun's body.

"Wait. He's only getting one eye?" Dan asked ruefully as he settled into one of the many rows of chairs that the hospital offered. He wasn't exactly downhearted, so to speak, but very thankful to the eye donor who gave his best friend his sense of sight back, even if it was just one eye. Dan closed his eyes as he leaned back further into the chair, ready to drift off in for a good nap-he could hardly sleep ever since the whole tragic accident. His mind was at ease as he settled on the idea of the donor being a kind, deceased, elderly person, who wanted to give an eye away out of the goodness of their heart.

"Masquerade, is Shun-"

"Shh, please relax Alice. Shun's all right. The operation was a success." The orange-haired girl looked at Christina, who was trying to get Alice to lie down. "You really shouldn't push yourself. You just got out of surgery about half an hour ago. Please stay here and rest-"

"Christina, I can't. I have to go or else everybody will-"

"Alice, you have to rest for one day. That's an order." Alice said no more as the blonde stalked away from the room, his nurse trailing behind him, giving her friend an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry Alice, but Masquerade's right. Please rest here for a day. You're allowed to go after that."

End of Chapter 2

Note: *cringes* After months of abandoning this story, I come back with this cringy chapter. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. ORZ

Okay, for some clarification, if you're wondering who the heck this 'Christina' is, she is my OC/original character and she will be Masquerade's love interest (don't worry, they're like an extremely minor ship in this story) and if you skipped her role in this tragic scene, she is Masquerade's nurse. And yes, Masquerade is a doctor. And yes, I know that this doesn't fit the timeline or the Bakugan universe, but please bear with my fic. Don't you think Masquerade is fitted to be a doctor? No, just me? Okay, I'll go home now...

But anyways, please review your thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, or whatever it is you want for this story and you'll probably hear from me pretty soon-I have Thanksgiving break soon, whoo!-and I'll see you in less than two weeks~! BYE~!
