Wow, I actually have another part, and it's only a day later! Dances around with joy I'm writing fast! (In my own little world at least) Thanks soooo much for all the reviews! They definitely feed the (writers) soul.

Oh yes, just to add, I've changed it from 3 PEOPLE TO 4 that he has to save. (I mention this here because I doubt anyones gonna go back and read it and actually notice that I changed that one little number) But I wanted to tell so that you wouldn't get all confused and such! However, I only have ideas for 3 rescues! Gotta think up the last one. Anyone have ideas please tell me ^^.

On with the fic!

(P.S. There's probably gonna be about 5 more parts… though that's just an estimate)

Shuichi had expected bright lights, swirling around him like he was in the eye of a tornado. He had expected dizzying sensations and a mindless wonder at this new experience. He had not expected to simply click from one place to another with barely a second between.

The view of the white room was simply switched to another, though the later had beeping machines and a garish curtain covering the window, in a blink of an eye.

Slowly taking in the room, he realized with an abrupt shock that he was not on the floor but instead hung in the air, floating near the corner crook.

With a violent and rather earsplitting shriek, Shuichi whirled and grabbed a hold of Sakura's arm, clutching it with desperateness that could only be born from an extremem fear of heights. (even if it was only 5 feet off the ground)

"EEK!" Sakura squeaked, grabbing right back as his desperate grasp sent her spinning. With a jerk, she righted them both and laughed down at his utterly terrified expression.

"Don't worry, you won't fall. And even if you did, it won't hurt you."

Shuichi looked at her than down again. "I may now that but it doesn't stop the fact that I'm scared."

"You'll get used to it." She stated.

"I don't really wanna get used to it." Shuichi drawled slowly.

He was distracted however, as he caught sight of himself in the hospital bed. It was very odd to look at oneself outside of the body. He was watching himself sleep! @.@"" Not something he ever expected to be able to do, though one of his friends had told him about the time they had been on medicine for a foot condition and they had been able to see around them even with their eyes closed. (Sorry… tangent, true story though!) As he leaned closer, he took in the bruised cheeks, swollen forhead and black eye. His lip looked like it had been split down the right side and there was a most uncomfortable looking tub wrapped around his ears and up his nose. Idly, Shuichi wondered how high it went.

The sheet was up to his upper chest with both arms on top, one with a IV needly jammed into it. There were small bulks all over the place where there was obviously extra padding for some unseen wound and a large, white, pristine bandage wrapped around his head. All in all, it was a pretty sad sight.

"I look like crap." He stated balefully.

"Indeed you do." Sakura nodded.

He scowled at her, "I don't need your agreement."

Sakura giggled, being abruptly broken off by the opening of the door. The two jerked to look and Shuichi partially hid behind Sakura, mind still believing he could be seen though it was impossible.

However, he came out, heedless of his instict when he saw who had entered the room. Yuki walked in slowly, a bandage maring his light hair. Shuichi was shocked at his haggard and rather gaunt appearance. There were slight bags under his eyes.

"Yuki…" Shuichi floated down, not even aware of himself doing so.

He stood next to the older man, reaching out to brush one lock of blond hair back. A whisper of pain flashed across his face as his hand simply fell through.

"Ah, my Yuki, why do you look so sad?" Shuichi asked rhetorically, watching as his lover leaned forward and slowly, tentatively, took the limp hand of the boy on the bed.

They sat for a few moments in silence, no one making a noise. Shuiichi was shocked to see what looked to be a tear trickle down Yuki's face before it was quickly brushed away.

"Baka." Yuki suddenly spoke up, startling the other two occupants of the room. "Why aren't you waking up yet?"

"Ack! It's not my fault, they're the ones who won't let me come back!" Shuichi whinned, pointing at the suddenly hidding Sakura. Though logically Yuki coudnlt' see them, she had also spotted his glare before and couldn't help but hide.

Yuki laid his head on the bed, still holding the comatose Shuichi's hand. He laid still before slowly closing his eyes, obviously exhausted.

Shuichi smiled softly before reaching down and placing a kiss on Yuki's cheek; not actually connecting but simply just imagining.

"Don't worry Yuki, I'll be back." The boy stated before reaching up toe grab Sakura's hand, smiling down at the dozing figure before the two clicked out.

Yuki twitched sleepily, mind mostly asleep. However, there was one small, distant part of him still awake.

"You better Ahou…" he slurred, burying his face deeper into the sheets.

Gah, short, sorry ;_;

As well, Gomen, there's a little bit of OOCness from Yuki there. CRYING???? NEVER!!!! But he is alone, or at least so he thinks, so he's able to get a little more… in touch with himself. (Can you sense just a tad bit of sarcasm in that last sentence? I hope so!)
