Chapter 6: Itameta mune no oku made shimite iku

==========================FLASHBACK=============================

Out of nowhere, a car came speeding, turning around the curb, and was headed straight for Ken. Omi saw the driver was panicking upon the sight of Ken crossing the street, he did his best to stop the car.

"KEN-KUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Omi screamed.

Ken's eyes widened as he saw the danger. The car was going straight at him, and if he didn't get out of the way, he'd get hit. He felt pangs of panic and fear. It was his first time to actually feel panic and fear at the same time. He feared greatly for his life.

The car continued running towards him. He was about to jump back to the sidewalk when someone came to his rescue and push him out of the way. Ken suddenly realized that it was Omi who had pushed him out of the way.

"OMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ken shouted as the car came to a full stop.

===========================END OF FLASHBACK===============================

The driver of the car had finally stopped the car. He took his seatbelts off and rushed out of the car. He ran over to where Omi lay.

Ken left the scattered grocery items on the sidewalk as he went to see how Omi was doing. He gently lifted Omi's head and lay it on his lap.

"Omi! Say something!" Ken said.

Omi didn't open his eyes.

"Omi!!" Ken started to yell.

The car driver knelt down beside Ken. He got out his cellphone and dialed the number of the nearest hospital. People nearby were looking at them, curious of what really happened.

"Is he alright?" the man asked after he made the call.

"I don't know...." Ken replied. "Omi! Open your eyes! Say something! Come on!"

"Is there anything I can do to help?" the man asked. He sounded so frightened of what he just did. "I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't mean to----"

"Can you please go to the Kitty Shop nearby? Please tell the people there that we need help." Ken burst into tears. He couldn't help it. Omi lay on the road, unconscious. Omi had saved his life, and now he had to save him back. "Please...." he said in between sobs.

"Okay. Please stay here." the man said as he ran across the street and headed towards the flower shop.

"Omi....open your eyes." Ken told the unconscious boy on his lap. He didn't try to move Omi much since it might injure him further. "Omi!"

==============================================

The man ran as fast as he could to reach the flower shop. He opened the door, panting.

"The boy---" he managed to say.

"Is something wrong, sir?" Aya asked as she approached the stranger.

"A boy.... a young boy was hit by a car... a young man with brown hair...."

"Oh my---" Sakura gasped. "Could it be----Omi-kun!" she ran outside.

"Sakura!" Ran called as he ran after her. "Wait!"

"Yoji, get me a glass of water, please." Aya helped the man onto the sofa in the basement.

"Okay." Yoji said as he disappeared into the back room.

"Please tell me what happened." Aya told the man as he tried to restore his normal breathing.

"I didn't mean to---the boy with dark brown hair *pant* was crossing the *pant* the street when *pant* the other boy *pant* pushed him *pant* out of the car's way..." the man said.

"Oh.... Ken-kun..." Aya said Ken's name worriedly. "The other boy, was he alright?" she asked as Yoji came back witha glass of water. "Here, drink this."

The man slowly sipped the water from the glass. Then he took a deep breath.

"The young boy... with brown hair.... he wasn't moving when I left them." the man answered.

"Aya-chan----" Yoji said.

"Omi-kun----" Aya looked at Yoji.

===================================================

"Sakura!" Ran called as Sakura ran as fast as she could to where Omi and Ken would be. Then she spotted Ken on the middle of the street, holding Omi's head on his lap. Omi's head was bleeding excessively.

"Omi-kun!" Sakura shouted as she approached them. She knelt down on the other side of Omi while Ran knelt beside her. "Ken-kun, is he alright?" she asked. She could hear the siren of an ambulance.

"I don't know for sure. He hasn't opened his eyes nor showed any movements." Ken answered as he attempted to calm down. Omi's blood had smeared his shirt and pants. Even the road.

The siren of the ambulance became louder.

"Ran-san, what do we do?" Sakura asked Ran. She started crying.

"Omi..." Ran looked at Omi's weakened body.

"Omi!!" Ken said. "Omi, open your eyes...Omi!"

"Omi-kun! Please don't die....Omi-kun!" Sakura sobbed.

Moments later, the ambulance arrived. The aid came to position Omi in a stretcher.

"I'll go with Omi. You guys tell Aya and Yoji what happened." Ken said as he rode the ambulance, and drove away.

Sakura and Ran stood up. Sakura couldn't stop crying.

"Sakura...." Ran said. They had to tell his sister and Yoji immediately that Ken had left with Omi. "Let's go." he told Sakura.

==================================================

"What happened there, Ran?" Yoji asked as Ran and Sakura returned to the shop.

"Ken had gone to take Omi to the hospital." Ran replied. "How's the man doing?"

"Aya's with him downstairs, trying to make him calm down." Yoji answered.

"Can you get Sakura something to drink?" Ran told Yoji. He had Sakura sit on the chair behind the counter.

"Yeah, no prob." hurriedly, Yoji went to get some water for Sakura.

"Are you alright?" Ran asked Sakura.

Sakura continued to cry. "Omi-kun... *sob* he's gonna be *sob* alright---right?"

Ran didn't know what to do. This kind of thing never happened to them.

"Shhhhhh....he'll be alright. I'm sure of it." Ran said, kneeling down in front of her.

Sakura tried her best to stop crying, but she couldn't. "Ran-san....."

Yoji came back, but at the sight of Sakura's shaken condition, he left instead. He closed the door so as not to disturb the two.

==============================================

"Yoji-kun, are they back yet?" Aya asked Yoji. Yoji had come down to the basement to check on Aya.

"Yeah. Ran's with Sakura upstairs. Perhaps maybe we should follow Ken to the hospital," Yoji suggested.

"Okay." Aya said. She faced the man. He seemed calm enough. "Can you drive us to the hospital?"

The man nodded, then he stood up. Aya led the way up and exited through the back door, with the man and Yoji following behind her. They went to where the accident had occured, and found two police cars blocking the car.

"Um...excuse me, is something the matter, officer?" the man told the police who was inspecting his car.

"So you're the driver?" the policeman asked. "We have to take you to the station for a statement about what happened."

"Sir, please excuse us. We really need to get to the hospital first." Aya interrupted. "Our friend needs us..."

The policeman hesitated.

"Please let us go. We'll head to the station after we see our friend's safe." Aya added.

"Well....okay. But be sure!" the policeman replied. He drove the police car out of the way of the man's car and pulled the car to the side.

"Thank you, sir!" Aya smiled as they piled into the man's car, and drove off.

"Whoa, Aya. I didn't know you could handle that policeman so easily." Yoji winked at Aya.

Aya just shrugged. "Let's hurry," she told the man.

============================================

It took Ran forever to calm Sakura down. Sakura wiped her tears with the back of her hand.

"Are you okay, now?" Ran asked her.

Sakura took a deep breath and nodded.

"Let's check on Aya," Ran stood up and held out his hand.

Sakura stood up from where she sat, straightening out her outfit, then took Ran's hand as he led them out to the back room.

"Aya! Yoji!" Ran called. He told Sakura to wait for him by the door while he checks on Aya. He went down to the basement, expecting to see Aya and Yoji and the man, but they were nowhere to be seen He climbed up the stairs.

"They're gone." Ran informed Sakura.

"Where could they be---?" Sakura whispered to herself.

"They've gone to the hospital without telling us." Ran growled. He went inside the shop, turned the shop sign from OPEN to CLOSE again, then faced Sakura.

"We're gonna follow them there." he said.

Sakura nodded, then followed him as he went to get his car.

===================================================

"Omi--!!" Ken held tightly on Omi's hand. It's been a while, but Omi still hadn't opened his eyes.

"We'll be at the hospital soon, mister." one of the aids said.

"Omi!!" Ken was losing his voice from repeating Omi's name. "Omi!! Hang on, Omi."

There was silence.

The Ken felt Omi tighten his grip on Ken's hand. Ken could barely see Omi's face through the tears he's been shedding. "Omi--?"

No movement. Nothing.

I must be dreaming..... Ken thought. Omi-----

Omi moved again, this time, his eyes gently opened.

"Omi!?" Ken felt relieved to see him move.

"He's opened his eyes!" the aid who was seated across Ken exclaimed.

"Don't move, Omi! We're almost at the hospital!" Ken told him.

Three minutes later, they arrived at the hospital, and Omi was taken to the emergency room. The doctor had gone in the ER to check on Omi, Ken wanted to go in too, but the ER was off-limits for the non-patients.

Ken paced back and forth in the waiting lounge while waiting for the doctor to come out. Aya, Yoji, and the man arrived a little later.

"What happened?" Yoji asked.

"Where's Omi?" Aya inquired worriedly.

"He's--he's in the emergency room." Ken told them as he sat down on the bench.

"I-I'm really sorry for what happened....I didn't mean to...." the man apologized.

Ken was silent.

Aya sat beside Ken. "Ken-kun, don't blame yourself. It's nobody's fault, it was an accident." she told him.

"An accident...." Ken repeated Aya's words absent-mindedly.

"Um....I think we should leave them alone for the meantime," Yoji said, addressing the man. The man said nothing, but he followed Yoji as he headed towards the cafeteria nearby.

As soon as Yoji and the man were gone, Aya spoke to Ken.

"Ken-kun, please, don't blame yourself..." she said.

"It's my fault....if I had been more careful, none of this would've happened." Ken looked at her.

"No." Aya shook her head. She pulled Ken towards her so his head could lean on her shoulder. "I told you, Ken. It's nobody's fault."

"But---" Ken started.

"Ken-kun, believe me." Aya sighed. "It just happened that that man was driving so fast he didn't notice you were there until the last minute."

"I'll never forgive myself if something bad happens to Omi...."

"Don't say that. He'll be fine, I promise." Aya said as she faced Ken. "Cry all you want, Ken-kun. I'm sure Omi will be out later, all well."

Ken buried his face against Aya's body, crying.

Omi-kun.....please be alright.... Aya whispered to herself as tears left the corner of her eyes. Oh, please be alright.....
