After much devestation over in Japan, Yui Hongou looked over her only son all battered up after being pulled from the deprie. His face, which resembled his father, Tetsuya, was almost unregonizable. His right arm was in a cast and his left arm was in a partial cast. Only one of his legs, his right was broken but Yui knew there were many other complications, such as a cracked skull and several broken ribs as well as some partial brain damage. Doctors determined that he was in coma. Aki was just one of many. However, there were many casualties.
Yui sat next to her only son's hospital bed, fingering her creation's lifeless hand. Her eyes were red from crying so much. She had no tears left. Doctors said it would probably be best to take him off life support. But Yui insisted on waiting. "He'll awaken!" she cried. The doctors told her, "With only a miracle. And a bigger miracle if he is not a vegetable."
Yui felt her eyes sting again remembering. Her son was all she could ever ask for. Aki, although somewhat tempermental especially to his father, was very dear to his mother. He would often clean for her and cook for her. He, unlike many children his age, enjoyed spending time with his mother. However, with Tetsuya, he just did not get along very well. The two fought a lot over stupid things. When Aki was little, it seemed that Aki wanted to win the attention of Yui over his father.to This was the reason why Aki was an only child.
Yui found herself looking out the window at the partially destroyed buildings. The sunlight seemed to be hopeless. She saw a group of children play soccer. Aki enjoyed that sport along with others. He was always an athletic child, loved to run around. Aki was actually good at soccer. Yui sighed. Even if Aki lived he would probably never be able to play soccer ever again. This pained her. In her heart she knew that Aki would die and if he lived it would probably be just as painful, if not more so seeing Aki in the position he was in.
She felt a kind hand on her shoulder. She looked up to gaze into the eyes of her husband, who had taken off his sunglasses. His other hand had his index and middle finger in a splint and a shallow cut on his arm. He smiled at her in a painful way, it was almost forced. Yui looked up to see that Keisuke Yuuki had come in as well. He had a rather deep scratch across his face that had to be fixed with stitches.
After the earthquake, Yui, Tetsuya, and Keisuke rushed over to their place. Their apartment building was completely annilated. They knew Aki was home because he was punished to come home right after school for a fight at school. The three joined in on the diggings to find people. Tetsuya and Keisuke found Aki wedged akwardly in the debrie. They tried to dig him out but recieved minor injuries. Yui had the image of Tetsuya pulling out their son out of the rubble, gripping onto his lifeless body. He had a pulse still surprisingly, but wasn't breathing. Their son along with many others were rushed to the nearest hospital. Aki, now not breathing or heart beating oh his own, was hooked up to life support. The bleep of the machine was now familiar with Yui.
"I hate to see you like this," Tetsuya replied.
Yui was silent.
"As I hate to see Aki like this," Tetsuya said turning red. He thought he might of angered his wife, which he didn't mean to do.
"Its not fair," she mumbled. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" She grabbed onto Tetsuya and hugged him and sobbed tears that weren't there.
Tears came to Tetsuya's eyes. He knew the best thing right now for his only son was to pull the plug. However, right now it wasn't the best time to bring this up to Yui. She was not taking it well.
Keisuke looked on the scene with a degree of sadness. I knew things were never easy for Yui. And it really WASN'T fair that her only son was dying. Life seemed to pick on Yui a lot.
While his friend and his sister's friend were embraced, Keisuke looked over at their son. Even though it looked like he was beyond pain, Aki still seemed to be in anguish. For some reason, Keisuke thought that Aki was glowing, glowing a sort of pale blue. He did a take and light was gone.
"Its probably my imagination," he thought.
