One more announcement then I'm done. I have this thing going where I am starting a pen name called Angst Writers Anonimous. It's basically a place to post angst if you want. The stories can be any category, doesn't have to be anime or anything. It can be original fiction if you feel like it.

If anyone is interested in joining A-W-A tell me in a review or e-mail. If you tell me in a review make sure to include your e-mail address.

If you want to post your own stuff then I'll send you the password and stuff, but if you want me to submit your stuff then E-mail it to me at Katia@lelola.zzn.com. Thanks for listening! Sorry these notes were so long.

On to the fic.

Day 3

Dear Journal,

I thought the day I had to bring my hikari into this hell of florescent lights and needles would be the worst day of my life. It still is, but it was tied fairly closely today.

They said his lungs were having problems and so they had to do an operation, also to fix some other things that they named, but for the life of me I can't remember their names. I think it was for tendon repair.

He's like a puzzle, and I can't do anything to put him back together. They wheeled him out this morning and I haven't heard anything since. They had a "social worker" come in earlier to talk to me "About my little brother and my feelings" yah, like I was going to talk to her? She can go to hell.

I just sat for hours, staring at the wall and thinking how I was going to kill something soon when another doctor came in.

I usually have no patients for these quacks in white coats, but since I had had no news all day I held in my temper. Good thing too, because I don't think he would've told me anything I wanted to know otherwise.

He started out by telling me that he was the only one who would talk to me anymore because I had scared the other doctors away. I think he expected a smile, but he got none, just grim satisfaction.

Anyway, he told me that the situation wasn't looking very promising. As if I couldn't have surmised such information on my own. He told me, in proper Japanese, instead of doctorese, that Ryou was in horrible shape.

His ribs, all of them, had cracked, exposing his vulnerable organs. He also told me that the impact had crushed half of one of Ryou's lungs, which was why the operation was so necessary. They were trying to keep the boy off a respirator as long as they could.

Both of Ryou's legs were crushed, which I could understand. He had landed on them in a horrible position when he flew through the air. If he ever did wake up, he would have no or limited use of his legs. The tendons had been torn and muscles severed.

I had to see him. It was necessary, I needed to see my hikari, know he was alive. His side of the link was silent, and any healing I tried would not be able to be done while we were apart.

The doctor resisted, it was apparently not good for me to see him. Fuck the bastard, I am going to see my hikari, and for Ryou's sake I'd prefer to have it legal. I will just brush past security if I have to, but I would prefer not to upset the balance around here.

In the end he gave in and led me to a room where he made me change into those awful doctors scrubs and put a mask on my face. I complied quietly, inwardly seething about how ridiculous I looked, but I didn't care much. It was a small price to pay for the privilege I was about to get.

He led me down a hall and opened a door. Asking me if I was prepared, since Ryou would be literally open on the table, he opened the door and asked me if I really wanted to do this.

I am furious to say that I was, yes, the grate tomb robber was afraid, and of what? I soon saw.

Ryou, or at least what I thought was Ryou, was lying naked on an operating table, a clean slice made down the center of his body. I thought I could handle it, but I could not. For some reason I knew not to attack the doctors, but my rage and horror and fear had to go somewhere. All I remember was a scream, unearthly in its pain, and then there was a mass of people around me. I dove towards Ryou, but for once my grace failed me and I tripped, and I think I was told later, smacked my head on the floor.

I suppose they carried me to a hospital room, because that's where I woke up. They had brought the lamp from Ryou's room and this journal. I am praying to any god who will listen that no one happened to look in it.

I am feeling better now, just shaken and threadbare.

It was horrible! You have no idea how terribly and cruelly real and painful it was to see him living but open, weak and vulnerable to the world and their prying instruments. I have the images passing though my mind as I write this.

I think the only thing that stopped me from losing it right there is that Malik came again.

He took one glance at me and I swear he almost laughed. He told me that I looked terrible. I don't believe I've slept in 3 days, so I believe him to the fullest.

He wants me to sleep and I think I will. I could not agree except for the fact that I feel horribly and utterly useless. I saw from that brief look that the ring's weak magic would not touch him. He was far to beaten for its power to help. That and the fact that I cannot sit here with a clean conscience while they performing life saving things on my Tenshi. I am afraid I would try and stop them, and I know that could be deadly.

I can't write anymore. Even the suggestion of sleep had made me so tired. The pen I am using to write this is starting to swivel in all different directions. I'll have to curse Malik for mentioning sleep.

But I must rest and refuel my soul, my sanity,

And hope.

A/N: Major oocness at the end there, but I hope you all liked it.
