Act II: Introductions
Yohji held in his hand a bouquet of light pink roses, he saw them in a shop as
he drove to the hospital nearly a month after the accident. He had visited the
sleeping angel, Usagi Tsukino, every day when he wasn't trying to find her
family, but he never had any luck. A part of Yohji said that he should try
harder for the groom's sake, but a tiny voice was celebrating.
"Yohji-kun!" he heard a voice behind him yell out, he turned and saw a happy,
sandy-haired young man running toward him.
"Omi," Yohji said a small amount of surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I went to your apartment to visit," said Omi, "But you were leaving in a hurry
so I followed you," he spotted the flowers, "But I can see you're busy…"
"Oh no," said Yohji, "It's not what it looks like! I was just visiting
someone."
"Who?" Omi asked as he tried to keep up with Yohji who was walking into the
hospital at a fast pace.
"Sleeping beauty," Yohji said over his shoulder and entered an elevator.
"Nani?" Omi asked with confusion and
missing the elevator, "What is he up to?" he mused to himself.
Yohji sighed as he saw the familiar sight that greeted his eyes every day ever
since he started his ritual. Her wounds had since healed and the bandages were
gone, revealing her golden beauty like the sun. She looked as though she were
in a peaceful sleep. Yohji hoped that she had good dreams.
Omi walked in as Yohji put the pink roses into an elegant vase. "Why didn't you
wait for me?" he panted as Yohji arranged them perfectly and put water in the vase,
"I ran around the entire hospital looking for you!"
"I didn't want her flowers to wilt while waiting for a slow poke like you,"
Yohji teased and placed the vase next to the bed.
Omi gasped when he saw her form laying quietly, "Who is she?"
"Tsukino Usagi," Yohji said as he sat down in his chair and took her hand.
"Is she alright?" Omi asked uncertainly.
"Perfect," Yohji said, his voice suddenly becoming serious, "Except that she is
in a coma."
"I'm sorry, if I had known I wouldn't have followed you-"
"Don't worry about it," Yohji said with a small smile, "I don't even know her."
"Nani?" Omi asked looking rather
confused.
"I found her crashed limo on the side of the road, it was hit and run, driver
was already," said Yohji, leaving out the fact that she was on her way to be
married, "It was a hit and run, the other driver got away."
"That's awful," said Omi.
"Not as awful as the other driver is going to be if I ever run into him," said
Yohji; where did that come from? Could he developing
affection for this lost white rabbit in the bed next to him? No, it just wasn't
possible.
"Well I better be going," said Omi checking his watch and waving, "Ja na Yohji-kun.
"Ja na Omi," he answered as the boy
retreated out of the hospital room.
"He's a nice kid," said Yohji as he adjusted his sunglasses and, as if in
response, he felt her squeeze his hand ever so slightly, "Usagi?" he asked
looking at the girl as her grip slowly became tighter. "Nurse!" he called and
started beating the life out of the call button.
"What's going on?" the nurse asked as she ran in.
"I think she is waking up," he said looking up. The nurse walked over and
checked Usagi's status and looked at the machine that monitors brain activity
in coma patients in gasped.
"Well there has been a change since this morning," she said smiling, "She may
wake up by tomorrow, you must be relieved, you're fiancée is going to be fine."
Yohji was somewhat relieved by this, but he felt a slight pang of guilt that he
was going to be what she saw when she woke up, and not her groom. Hours seemed
to pass by like seconds and Usagi seemed to remain in her slumber with the
occasional twitch of her fingers. Finally, visiting hours were over and Yohji
was forced to go home.
"We'll call you if she shows more signs of waking up," the cheerful nurse said
as he left.
"Right," Yohji said thinking of those words as he sat at a traffic light. Why
was he nervous at the thought of introducing himself to the girl he had been
spending his afternoons and evenings with for the past month? And why would he
do such a thing in the first place? That was not something he would normally
do, he'd normally rather be out with the ladies and having a good time. This
girl was definitely something different to make him stay with her when all she
did was sleep.
He arrived at his place and immediately flopped on his bed for a good rest,
never mind the answering machine blinking with messages, they were probably
filled with messages from solicitors anyways. Yohji really didn't want to hear
about the latest diet drink or cologne from someone who was probably
mispronouncing his name. All he wanted to do was think, and try and figure out
why this girl, this Tsukino Usagi, could make him nearly forget about Asuka so
easily.
He let his mind wander until he fell asleep with the image of the sleeping girl
dancing in his mind. He fell in such a deep sleep that he nearly slapped the
phone off his night table when it rang at one in the morning.
"Hullo?" he answered sleepily into the receiver almost wishing the person on
the other end would drop dead for being so rude.
"Kudou Yohji?" asked a voice in the other side.
"What do you want?" he asked trying to prevent himself from falling off the
bed.
"Your fiancée has woken up," said the voice, "It's important that you come
right away."
THUMP! Yohji fell off his bed and tried to untangle himself from the blankets,
"I'll be there as soon as I can," he answered and hung up the phone. He quickly
dressed and ran out, nearly forgetting his car keys.
He drove to the hospital at top speed, no one else was on the road so it didn't
really matter, if the cops had a problem with it, well they could go do
something that the guest author would rather not type. He ran all the way to
her room when the nurse stopped him.
"Kudou-san," she said with sympathy, "I'm afraid I have some bad news. Your
fiancée, well, I'm afraid she has amnesia."
"Are you sure?" Yohji asked.
"She doesn't even know her own name, much less her parents or you," she said
with a sad look in her eyes, "You can go and see her if you'd like, but you
can't stay for long, she still needs rest."
Yohji nodded and walked into Usagi's room slowly and looked over at the girl.
She looked at him with her big eyes that were the color of clear ocean water.
They were filled with innocence and slight fear.
"Hello," she said quietly playing with her blanket.
"Hi," he said sitting in the chair next to her.
"Do I know you?" she asked uncertainly while keeping a steady watch on his
every move.
Yohji looked to make sure that the nurses were not around listening or
watching, they weren't and Yohji sighed quietly in relief, "No, and I don't
know you that well either. The nurses somehow got the idea I am your fiancée,
but I am not," he gave her a small smile, "but I have been here keeping check
on you ever since you ended up here."
"How come?" she asked with a childlike purity.
"I don't know tenshi," he asked.
"Tenshi?" she asked, "Is that my name?"
Yohji chuckled, "No, you're Tsukino Usagi. At least that's what I heard."
"Do you know my family?" asked Usagi quietly, "Have you contacted them? Will
they be here to come and get me soon?"
Yohji stared at the girl with pity, here she was all alone and without a
friend, "No," he said, "gomen ne tenshi
I have not been able to find out who they are."
"What about friends?" she asked, with some desperation in her voice he merely
shook his head and she began to cry, "Where will I go? I'm so scared."
Yohji immediately went to comfort her, "Hey don't cry. I'll take care of you."
"Hontoo?" she asked, wiping tears
from her eyes.
"I have been taking care of you since I brought you here," said Yohji, "Do you
really think I would leave a pretty girl alone in this condition? It wouldn't
be very chivalrous would it?"
Usagi instantly put her arms around, "Thank you so much. I will try not to be a
burden and I will figure out how to repay you somehow."
"Don't worry about it," he said.
"Kudou-san," said the nurse coming in, "I'm afraid you have to leave now, she
needs her rest."
"See you later tenshi," said Yohji
kissing her cheek and chuckling as she blushed. When he got to his car in the
parking lot, he only then realized what he had just done.
Tenshi- angel
Hontoo?- Really?
Gomen ne- I'm sorry
Ja na- see you (Masculine)
