"A Wilting Nadeshiko"

by Wo Ai Ni16

Chapter Six:
Touya turned around and saw his sister still watching tv. The volume was so loud, she didn't hear him and her father talking.

Gulping down the tears that were threatening to fall, Touya walked over to Sakura and tapped her shoulder.

"What is it Onii-chan?"

"We have to go with Daddy. They're bringing Mom to the hospital."

"Is she alright?!" Sakura's voice got louder as she was starting to get worried.

"Of course she is," Touya lied, "they just want to give her the medicine there."

"How about Tomoyo, and my other friends?" Sakura's friends looked at Touya as they heard their conversation.

"Daddy said that they will stay here with Mrs. Yanagisawa."

"Okay..." Sakura said, still worried. Even though she's pretty gullible, she could still tell when something is wrong.

"Let's get your coat," Touya said walking over to her closet. "Here."

He helped Sakura put on her coat, and together, they walked downstairs. It was weird. Just a while ago, everyone was happy and cheerful, but now the place was deserted. He could still see broken camera on the floor where his mom dropped it. It was really creepy. Sakura also saw the camera and sobbed.

"Sshh...everything's fine." Touya assured his sister. He picked her up, carrying her outside.

It was so weird. There was no more cars outside where the guests parked them. There was only their car where their dad was and Naoko's mom, talking to him outside the driver's window.

"Thank god the ambulance is gone at least. It would scare Sakura out of her wits. I bet the others are already at the hospital," Touya thought.

Touya walked over to his dad's car, and placed Sakura at the back, fastening her in her baby's [or should I say toddler's?] carseat.

"Are we going to Mommy?" Sakura asked worriedly.

"Yes we are, pumpkin," Fujitaka said, turning around to face his daughter, "don't worry, Mommy is all right. We're going to see her."

"Okay, then," Sakura said, turning to look out the window.

Touya sat at the back with his sister.

"Thanks again, Minata [yup, I made that name up]" Fujitaka called out to Naoko's mother outside.

"No problem, Fujitaka, call again when you hear news okay?"

The family rode on to the hospital, which was, thankfully, pretty close to their house. It was only fifteen minutes away.

They finally arrived at the hospital. Fujitaka parked their car and the family walked over to the main desk inside the hospital.

An old woman sat at the desk, typing something into the computer in front of her. She looked up as Fujitaka and his family walked up to her desk.

"We would like to see Nadeshiko Kinomoto, she was brought into the emergency room a while ago," Fujitaka said firmly.

The young lady smiled. "Of course, now just let me find her room number..." The lady turned to her computer and typed in Nadeshiko's name. "Let's see...Kinomoto, Nadeshiko. Oh, here she is. She's in room number 4- 12. That's on the fourth floor, I'll send someone to help you. However, I'm not too sure if you will be able to see her. You may have to wait."

The lady walked into a room nearby. She appeared later with a nurse. "This is Ms. Misha, she will bring you to Ms. Kinomoto's room."

The family was led by a kind, elderly woman. She seemed to have sympathy for the Kinomotos, but kept quiet. She led them to a private room down a long corridor.

"I'm sorry, but only one person is allowed at a time," Ms. Misha said.

"Alright, I'll go first, okay?" Fujitaka said to his two children. "You take care of your sister, Touya.
