Chapter 4- When Disaster Strikes

AN: Maybe I shouldn't put notes right now… But there is a quote there I made in the prev. chap.! So please R&R! And anyway, I don't have to tell you again that this is an ExH/N somehow… Besides I've said that in the summary and go on and try to flame me? Hehehe

````````````````

Hikaru walked down the street under the setting sun. She just heard Debonair. What had she meant by 'sacrifice'?

What if Debonair said was true? The she could wish to see Eagle again.

She just thought of going to the park, at this time? Well it wouldn't hurt if she drops by her home and head straight to the square.

```````````````

Eagle's P.O.V (point of view)

```````````````

Such thoughts flow through me about that girl. I couldn't forget her so easily.

Why do I miss you so much?

No.

I should forget her—Hikaru… I'm engaged to Nova: the lady I thought I would learn to love.

Is it because I love—?

I love you?

"Eagle? Eagle!" a young woman held his face with her hands, wine-red [claret] eyes stared anxiously at Eagle.

"Nova?" Vision looked at her, freeing his face from the strong grasp as he adjusted himself on the sofa.

"You've been blank since you arrived. Are you drinking depressants?" Eagle shook his head and made a reply "No it has been a year since I took those." Eyeing the medications on the bedside table.

Nova just shook her head in an impatient manner. "I'm just concerned of you."

"I'm fine, Nova-san."

"Fine then." Nova told, giving in. She just settled herself on the on the couch, sitting on the far edge.

There was a long time of silence, until Eagle spoke. "May I tell anything about who I met?"

Nova just gave him a look.

"I met someone who just seemed to be happy with her life. So contented that I wanted to be like her." Eagle just spoke there not even looking at her.

Nova was a bit affronted at this, thinking that he had never been happy with her even if she tried everything to please him.

"She then looked at me and noticed that she looked exactly like you. Only the difference was that she had red flaming hair. I was about to leave, she held my hands and—"

"Stop it! I SAID STOP!" the lady's temper finally gave away. "How dare you talk about things like that! I hate knowing that--, that you—"

"Is it that bad? I mean, we're engaged. How could I possibly a girl who was a complete stranger take me away from you? You know that I love you." he ended it in a flat tone, apparently disgusted at the thought that such little thing angered her.

Nova noticed the flatness of his voice, shot a statement to him, "Liar. Even your voice shows that to me!"

"Nova—" the continuation was cut off as he saw her stampede out of the room fuming, her long [bushy] hair trailing behind her.

"A very good start of eagle. In two weeks' time is the wedding. Mother would be very pleased. Might as well drive around the city, I might chance upon her." Eagle told himself.

********^#^*******

A few minutes later, Eagle left the driver's seat of his own car parked at the parking area. He had just driven to the park. He couldn't see himself seeing Hikaru would be there at this time of the day around dusk.

It was a surprised that the person he didn't expect to be there was really at the same place as he was: Hikaru.

Hikaru immediately saw him, but didn't greet him but instead she yelled out loud to call something of his attention.

"Eagle-kun watch out for the car!" she dried but too late.

Wham! A loud thud ensued as his back hit the hood of the car. He wasn't aware of this as he had all of his attention towards the girl's direction.

(Not for kiddies…)

Blood was dripping from his head, evidently unconscious on the floor. Hikaru, looked at the car that bumped him severely but was gone. She quickly ran to Eagle's sprawled body.

She had no time to waste. Hikaru got her clean handkerchief and wiped of the oozing blood. Wiping it had no use and she tried to suppress the bleeding. Hoping against hope that she can get help.

"Eagle?" she called. His eyes flickered as she called his name. "Eagle" Hikaru repeated.

He responded by opening his bleary eyes. Vision's lips parted and gave out a small response; the voice was unstable and weak. "Hi…ka…ru… where…are…you?"

And he fell limp, and unconscious again.

No, she had to get help. He's going to die of blood loss.

When she thought hope of all hopes were lost, she found something that can help so much—his mobile phone.

She looked straight at the phonebook entries and found the one labeled "home" and called the number.

"Hello?" a voice answered the phone.

To be con't…

Owari
