QUOTE FOR THE CHAPTER

"I have a problem and I don't know what to do. I've lost my teddy bear whom I love so true. Days are long I can't sleep at night. I need someone to hug so tight. So I ask this from you. Will you be my teddy bear and allow me to love you to?"

Ayane woke up in her hospital bed. She saw some food already placed beside the bed and some books. "Does everyday have to be homework day?" Ayane buried her face in her pillow. "Ouch!" She cradled her arm covered with bandages. "This is starting to piss me off," She told herself. She got up and went to the window. She opened the window and felt a breeze touch her face. She kinda remembers the time when she and Jeemo went up the roof. Man, did Haruko clobbered them to death. "Ms. Sakuragi!"

"Nani?" The tall girl replied with a blank face. "Pls. stay in your bed. We wouldn't want you to get hurt even more now do we?" The nurse asked Ms. Math Genius. Ayane walked back to her bed and sat down. Looking at her homework, she suddenly wondered who brought them here. "Ms. Nurse Lady? Just a question but who brought my homework here?"

"Just your father. He said that these are all math. Well, enjoy," The nurse lady just took a check-up on her. "Open your mouth," Ayane opened it. "Good. Well, I'll be seeing you later for another check-up," The plump nurse wiggled her way out the door. "Wait, did she say Math? Curse you Proffesor! I thought we had a deal!" She screamed."Ohmigosh, Ms. Sakuragi? What happened?" Ms. Plumped asked. Ayane shook her head and whispered, "Nothing mam," As the nurse went out the door, Ayane disobeyed her and went back to the window. She really likes the view. The birds flew by and there really isn't much traffic at the main road where her accident happened. She saw Shohoku, yet it was very small.

Ayane walked out the door and strolled through the main hallway. She did try to hide from the nurses from time to time. She did play a few tricks on the doctors. These jokes are going to get her into the biggest trouble she'd ever imagined unless she doesn't get caught. She saw the mic alone. She also took the doctor's directory. "CALLING DR. TAKEICHI, PLS. REPORT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIETLY," She screamed on the mic. Ayane saw the announcer coming back from the restroom. She hid in the closet. "Excuse me mam but Dr. Takeichi isn't even here yet," A janitor said. "But I didn't even say anything," The two wondered how. They both reported it to the guards. Ayane ran as fast as she can, if you want to be specific, walked as fast as she can, back to her room. She went in the room and locked the door.

Another one of her jokes was knocking on the door of other patients and making them open the door. Kinda like the game Ding Dong Ditch except that there is no doorbell to ring. After how many knocks, she comes to a door with Chiharu's name on it. Like Hanamichi, she just opened it. She saw a girl laying in bed with brown hair cut halfway between her neck and her collarbone. She was reading a Science book. She was pretty short but not very short. To her right side was Hideki, the world's most adorable nightmare. Hideki stood up, ran to Ayane and hugged her. "Chihawu, this is my seyvlew,"

"Hideki, it's saviour," The girl corrected her brother. "Nice to meet you. Why won't you come in?" Chiharu said. Ayane did as she said. "I thought you were shot. There isn't any wound I see,"

"Oh... It's because the shot mark is right here," Chiharu lifted her loose shirt and pointed to it. The shot was at her left side and not much damage was inflicted. She looked quite well after an overnight stay in the hospital. "Cool, you have a basketball ring. I am so very jealous,"

"Who said nobody gets bored after two weeks in solitary confinement?" Ayane chuckled to Chiharu's joke. "Just one question, how come your reading your science book when you aren't going to school for at least fourteen days?"

"Come to think of it, I never even thought of it before. Maybe I was just to used to my dear mothers way," Chiharu said and looked out the window. "I know this is not nice to ask but, how did your mother vanish?"

"It was that night. Dad, as usual, was cooking dinner for no reason. When he told me to buy something at the grocery, mom told him that she would do it. After that, she never came back," Suddenly, tears fell from Chiharu's eyes. "Don't wowwy, Chihawu, mommy still awive! I pwomise,"

"Don't you know that promises were meant to be broken?"

"No. Promises were meant to be done because in this wowld, bwittleness only applies to solid thingys,"

"Whoo, you got a smart kid up you sleeve," Ayane told Chiharu. "And the best one ever," Chiharu hugged the nightmare. "Ms. Sakuragi! Why are you here?! You'll get hurt! Come here," The plump lady pulled Ayane bye the ear and shoved her in a wheel chair. "Let's go," The plump lady pushed the wheel chair all the way to Ayane's room.

"Now, Ms. Sakuragi. Please do as I say and stay put," Ayane just nodded. As the plump lady went out the room, Ayane again stood up and look out the window. She saw her homework and went to it. "Five pages of non-stop Math. What next? English? This is to much. I can't take it," She told herself. She looked in the mirror and imagined a few things like a certain someone hugging her. *KNOCK KNOCK* Ayane stood up and opened the door. "Hi, Ayane! My sistew wanted to give this to you," Hideki handed a letter with a small box. This is what the letter said:

Ayane,

This might be the first time I'm writting to you but the story about my mom, please don't tell anybody. Not even Gen-kei. If my dad finds out, I'm totally toast. I heard you had a dog, well, that is what Hideki said a while ago. Bye, gotta go this ballpen is running out of in...

"That's all? I despise ballpens!" She broke her ballpen into two. The ink spilled on her shirt creating a smudge on her shirt. "I DESPISE BALLPENS!"

"Sakuragi! How naughty can you ever be?" The nurse said from outside the door. "Naughtier than you could ever imagine,' Ayane told the wind. "What did you say Ms. Sakuragi?"

"Nothing," Ayane smiled with mischief in her eyes.
