"Miaka? Is that you?!" I heard through the phone. I smiled, and tears filled my eyes remembering how many times I was scolded by Taka for running up a phone bill and wasting precious money when Yui-chan lived five minutes away when you walk.

"Yeah, it's me Yui-chan," I said, me words almost swallowed up by my coming sobs. Yui-chan immediately began with her questions, and strangely enough, her questions were furiously asked and almost muted by her sobs.

"Omigod, are you ok? What's going on right now? How are you feeling? Wha-" she then broke down into her sobs, and I didn't hear anything for a bit, but her sobbing and Tetsuya's frequent murmuring for her to calm down. My eyes overflowed with tears again, missing how it felt to be in Taka's arms just from hearing Tetsuya's repeated mantra for Yui-chan to silence her tears.

"Are you ok?" I asked gently as our sobbing reduced. Weird, how it is. No matter how far apart we are, it seems as if we're right next to each other, the way we're talking, and how many tears we're shedding.

"I'm fine, it's you I'm worried about!" she cried out. I heard Tetsuya groan, and heard some sort of creaking. Were they in bed? Oops- time zones. Forgot about that. Bad time to call, Miaka. They were asleep idiot.

"Yui-chan, I'm fine! It's ok!" I said, my voice becoming much more optimistic than it should be.

"Bullshit!" Yui-chan cried out. My mouth dropped at her exclamation, and I began to wonder why she was swearing, when I seldom heard her swear. "Miaka, I'm your best friend. I've known you for almost twenty years now, and, for some reason, you always pull that shit! Stop acting like there's nothing wrong, because you know there is something wrong!"

"Yui-chan," I said meekly. She hit a mark in my heart. But, then again, she is right.

"Why is it that you always hide your feelings? You don't need to with me, Miaka. And you know that! I don't know why-"

"Neither do I, but it's just, it's just-" I tried to talk, but my emotions bubbled over, and I couldn't control them. They spilled out into tears, and they fell heard. They were the strongest tears I had cried in the past two days, where all I did was lie awake, thinking about how Taka was gone, how he'd never return, how I'd never see his smiling face again. I was even there for his funeral; I was still unconscious. It was these things that set me off, and it was these things that would condemn me for the rest of my life.

"Miaka, I'm sorry for exploding at yo-" Yui-chan started, but I cut her off, temporarily postponing my tears, holding them back.

"No, Yui-chan, please don't be," I said, all the while holding back tears that threatened to fall. "You know it's true that I hold everything back, don't be sorry," I pleaded with her. Then, the tears held back fell, and hard. I heard Yui-chan crying, and that threw me through a loop.

"Why, why are you crying?" I asked though my tears.

"Miaka, you little idiot," I heard Yui-chan say through her tears. "Of course I'm crying. You're my best friend, and you-" Yui-chan stopped, and sobbed for a second, which got me crying, and before I knew it, the two of us were hysterical, tears streaming from my eyes as if there's no tomorrow, and Yui-chan's sobs were the only thing I heard for the next few minutes. Finally, the two of us calmed down a bit, and that's when I realized that there was a nurse at the door.

"Yui-chan, I need to go now," I said to her as my tears diminishing slowly, noticing the nurse. "I have to do something here at this hospital, and I gotta go."

"Al- all right, I'll let you go," Yui-chan said so sadly. "Bye."

"Bye Yui-chan. Say 'hi' to Tetsuya for me."

"All right. You just get well soon, and come home someday. Everyone misses you, especially me."

Alright, I'll try to come home soon."

"And Tetsuya and I will pay for it," Yui-chan said, a bit too proudly. I heard Tetsuya groan in the background, making me giggle a bit.

"Bye, Yui-chan. Be sure to cal-"

"Yeah, I got it! If the twins come in a month or two, before they're due, I'll have Tetsuya call you and book you a flight." I heard her giggle and Tetsuya groan again.

"Well, I really need to go now. Bye."

"Bye." We both hung up, and the nurse walked over to me. Strangely enough, I had discovered her to be fluent in Japanese, making her my nurse for the day, when I was up. My doctor- the one who looked like Mitsukake- was also fluent, as well as his intern, AKA Chiriko, or at least in looks, giving me an advantage to put off learning more English for a bit.

"Well, are you ready to get those bandages on your head removed and replaced after your x-ray?" I heard my nurse, Sage, said to me. I looked at her, and had a sense of déjà vu, as if I was staring at… what was her- oh, Shouka. I have no idea why that just happened, but it did. Sage must've been named for her long, sage-green hair, which was looped twice on each side of her head and the loop ends fell past her waist. "Miaka?"

"Oh! Sorry! I'm here!" I said, my voice coming out much happier than I felt. It was strange really… I always do this. The only person who held their feelings back as much as I did was Chichiri. He never really told anyone about his past…

"Well, since you're here, let's get you wheeled off." Sage said to me, pulling out the wheelchair that had been placed in my room, since I could barely feel them. They were numb because, according to what I heard, they had been impaled with an extreme amount of glass from the windshield, and they needed to remove all of them. I hadn't felt anything due to the fact my veins were hit, but I was told I could still regain feeling- but when I did, it was going to be painful.

Sage walked over to me, and I sat up, and tried to swing my legs over the bed. Key word: tried. Sage ended up having to help me get my legs on the side of the bed, and somehow, we both managed to get me into the wheelchair.

"So, Miaka, where's your brother right now?" Sage asked me as she wheeled me off into the x-ray room.

"He and Mayo are at-" I stopped for a second, remembering where they were: my home, the one Taka and I had chosen to live at together. "They're at my apartment."

"Oh. Is he staying there?"

"Yeah. It's cheaper than a hotel, and he didn't have to come out here too, so…" I trailed off.

"But he did. And that means that he must be a caring older brother, doesn't it? He's always cared about you, hasn't he?"

"Yeah…" I trailed off, remembering when I was fifteen, and was taken into the Shi Jin Ten Chi Sho. He never had to do that research on the book, but he did. He's always like that. I actually never knew why girls didn't fall for him.

"Hey, Sage, when did you start working here?"

"Oh! My mother signed me up to volunteer when I was fifteen, and well, I liked it enough, so I didn't stop working here!"
"Do you like working here?"

"Oh, yes, I always will! The children here are positively adorable!" Sage is so sweet! I'm actually glad she's my nurse, because just talking with her makes me smile, remembering the talks Yui-chan and I always had. They were always fun between the two of us, and it was always fun to make Tetsuya and Ta- Taka.

"Miaka, are you ok?" Sage asked me. "You look like you're going to cry."

"Its just, well…" I trailed off. How can you put pain like this into words?

"Are you sure you're ok, Miaka?"

I tried to get myself back together, and shook my head slightly to get rid of the tears forming behind my eyes. Big mistake. I clutched my head in pain for a brief second, remembering at the last second possible that my head had almost gone through a window, and it was also one of the more painful parts of my body affected.

"Miaka?" I heard Sage cry out to me after stopping the wheelchair. "Are you ok? What happened?"

"I, I'm all right," I said lamely after a moment. It wasn't the truth however; my head was not feeling fine.

"Hmm..." Sage said, as she began to push the wheelchair again down the endless hall. She continued to push me down the hall until we got to the desired room for my x-ray. Then, for the next half an hour, nearly ever part of my body was x-rayed, and parts like my head were repeated constantly, as they were the worst damaged parts of my body. The entire thing left me both tired and bored as Sage wheeled me off to my room. I couldn't sleep until Sage removed the bandages, however, and she had some help with doing that. And her helper…

A woman with long, light-purple hair, pulled back simply, walked into the room. Was that my Nuriko?

"Miaka, this is Heather, another one of the nurses here. And, lucky for you, she's also fluent in Japanese," Sage told me. I smiled at her, doubting that she was Nuriko. After all, Nuriko's was a man, and didn't have a chest, unlike women. But for some reason, she reminded me of Hou-

"Nice to meet you, Miaka," Heather said to me, smiling. I smiled back at her, and reached out to shake her hand, which she shook pleasantly.

"Well, Miaka, I'm afraid I can't prepare you for what you're legs under the bandages will look like, but be prepared," Sage said to me as she brought over a large roll of ace bandages. My eyes opened wide, and I prepared myself for the worst, but was in for a rude awakening. My legs were now bruised purple and black, dried blood almost clinging to my cuts and scratches, soon to be scars. Just seeing my legs scared me, and suddenly it was painful, knowing what my legs looked like. I turned away, and stared out the window, not wanting to see my legs.

As soon as they finished my legs, and replaced the bandages for my head, I laid myself down on my bed, and curled myself into a ball, as best as I could. I sat there for what seemed like almost an eternity, and did nothing but block out all thoughts, memories, and everything in my mind. I didn't want to think, to feel. I only wanted to sit here until I was gone from here, and once again be with Taka. I miss him so much. What am I going to do without him?
