Chapter 25|| Hospital and Ending

Mikan woke up in the morning with the sunrays hitting her eyes, and remembered the Christmas day. She got new presents and little sister…Aoi. Yes her family decided to adopt her and keep her as their own daughter. Everyone was thrilled including Aoi. I loved it. (N/A: forgot to mention in the other chapter. They had adopted Aoi and gave the news on the Christmas day.). Suddenly she had urge to go to the washroom and through up in the toilet. The shocking part was that there was more blood and than food and it killed Mikan. The burning pain in her stomach and throat was being to be unbearable.

"nee-chan I—AHHHH!" Aoi screams at the sight of Mikan, hardly conscious. Then everyone came up and shocked and worried, Youchi quickly called an ambulance, Yuka took her daughter's head in her lap making sure she stays awake.

"Mikan stay awake. Don't close your eyes." Izumi says to her, tears threatening to come out. Mikan's vision was starting to get blurry and having a hard time focusing her surroundings.

"I'm sleepy." Mikan says but they force her to take awake and keeping talking. Soon the ambulance was here and was on their way to the hospital.

….

Mikan was in the operation room and everyone else was outside waiting for her. Aoi was crying on Youchi lap and he was smoothing her. She wouldn't stop crying; they told her she was hurt. Hotaru, Sumire, Ruka, Natsume and Yuu were also there, and waiting for the doctor to come out. Mikan parents paid for the surgery and bypassed the contact, feared that there daughter life had to be saved quickly and urgently.

"Damn it! What is taking so long!?" Natsume yells in frustration. Tsubassa approaches him

"Calm down man, everything will be fine." He comforts him, and the doctor comes out.

"Doctor how is my daughter?" Izumi asks worried. The doctors smiles…

"The surgery was successful, but she will wake up in about 24 hours due to the amount of blood loss." He says and everyone exhales in relief.

"Can we go see her?" Yuka questions. The doctors nods and tells them one at a time only.

Everyone takes turns visiting her.

"When will she wake up from her sleep nii-chan?" Aoi asks Youchi while sitting on his lap. Everyone had visited Mikan.

"Tomorrow. She needs her rest little girl." He replies looking at Mikan.

"Will she wake up faster if I say the ABC right?" he looks at Aoi confused but then remembered that Mikan was teaching her the alphabet. He smirks down at her cutely.

…..

24 hours later…

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I heard beeping and felt sore all over. I open my eyes but close then again since there was to much light. I blinked a few times and managed to open them and saw to my right that Natsume was sleeping on a chair holding my hand. I felt my cheeks warm up a little. I try moving slowly so he would wake up but the bed made sound and Natsume opened his eyes. When he saw me awake his eyes opened fully.

"Mikan." He says and I smile.

"Hi Natsume." He gets up and hugs me to him, but carefully since I am still sore. He gave me a glass of water, and chugged it down and saw him chuckle.

"Easy there." He says rubbing my back, "I'll get the doctors and others." With that he leaves the room. Couple minutes later everyone comes in and see me. The doctor came and said I would be fine now since they removed my cancer and am safe, however I won't be discharged until two days so they can test me and confirm I was fine. Soon everyone left, which left me and Natsume alone.

"How are you Natsume?"

"Better since you are here and awake now." He says and I feel pink. DAMN MY BLUSHING! "When you were out, I couldn't control my temper. I kept yelling at everyone and everything. But now that you are awake, I can release a breath of relief."

"I am sorry Natsume." I say and he looks surprised.

"For what?"

"Making you worry. I always make people worry even when I don't tend to. Sometimes I think that I was better of gone, but then-" he covers my mouth with his hand and looks at me with a dangerous glare.

"Don't you ever say that again." He says dangerously low, "You have no idea how much worried we were for you. Aoi would sleep without you, Youchi locked himself in a room when he got home, your parents were worried sick, my guys and your friends wouldn't stop crying, and me… I was a mess. I nearly started drinking but my brother stopped me. I let my anger out but he knew the reason and make helped me.

"If you weren't here Mikan my life would be empty." He says, " I'll say this again to remind you… you are mine forever. I love you" he finishes and I have tears drooling down my checks. I hug him the best I could and reply.

"I love you too."
