Chapter 31
Yoh lay in bed as the nurse came in to change his bandages. He groaned as she tied the guaze tightly to his wounds.
" You have visiters they'll be coming up as soon as I am finished, and I'll be bringing more food up for you" She said. " Japanese or Western dear?" She asked kindly.
Yoh smiled licking his lips " Japanese..." He was then placed back on his back this time pillows had been placed underneith him. " Ah...its good to eat food even if its hospital food." He smiled comfortably as the nurse tucked him in.
" At least you are feeling a bit better, want your friends to come up now?" She asked.
" mmm yes please.." He groaned a bit then grinned.
He waited untill he could hear running coming closer and closer to his room.
" Yoh-kun!!!!!" Manta cried out as the door flung open he ran twords the bed carrying white roses in his small hands.
" Manta-chan..." Yoh smiled gently. Tears ran down Manta's face as he stood over the bed. " Don't cry.." Yoh whispered reaching his hand slowly to the boy's face and gently whiped the tears away.
" Yoh....Yoh-kun I was so worried...." He sniffed.
" Its ok now..." He whispered then looked up at Horo Horo.
" Hey buddy..." Horo looked at him then looked away sadly.
" Eh...don't give me that look" He grinned " Sit down and watch some TV with me tell me what you've been up to..." Yoh winked.
" Not much Ren's been riding my ass" Horo laughed a bit.
" I Bet he's only doin it cause its his way of sayin he likes you" Yoh laughed loudly.
" Never looked at it that way" Horo laughed nervously his cheeks turning bright red.
" Yoh-kun how did this happen to you???" Manta asked.
" ahh...don't worry about that...we'll talk when I'm outta here.." He smiled
" Yoh-kun!! I'll be back" Manta bit his lip and ran out the door.
" Yoh....how did it happen..." Horo looked at him seriously.
" Its a very..long and difficult story...but basically I had a fight with Manta's father..." Yoh looked away
" Mantas...father?" Horo's eyes widened.
" I wanted Manta to live with me...he became furious next thing I knew I was in his cellar covered in blood.." He whispered.
Horo's eyes remained wide " How...did you escape?" He asked gulping
" Keiko...Oyamada...when Manta's father was asleep she saved me and took me here..." He explained. " Even payed for my hospital bill."
" Thats.....creepy..." Horo's face became pale as he looked at the floor.
" Ah, please don't tell Manta-chan I'll tell him when I am ready to.." He sighed closing his eyes.
" Yea.." Horo responded feeling sick.
Hearing this Manta stood in the door way holding a Melon soda..his chest hurt with the most intense pain he had ever felt and his stomach churned as sadness, pain and anger filled him up all at once. whiping his tears away he forced a fake smile and opened the door quickly.
" L...Look Yoh-kun!! I...got you M...Melon Soda..." He said but couldn't controll his emotions at all. and broke down running to Yoh and wrapping his small arms around his neck.
" YOH-KUN!!!" He cried loudly.
Yoh's eyes widened as he felt the wetness of Manta's tears run down his face.
" YOH-KUN!! Oh God!!!!! I'm SORRY I'm SORRY I heard everything....!!!! I...I can't believe my father did that to you!!! YOH-KUN!! PLEASE I didn't mean to listen in...oh YOH-kun" He cried hysterically. " WHY!? Why would you go see my father like that and get yourself HURt WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!!!!
Yoh smiled brushing his hands through Manta's hair. " I did it for you silly boy...." He smiled weakly. " I'm the one who's sorry Manta-chan...sorry for making you cry like this...." He whispered crying himself.
" Yoh...Yoh-kun.." Manta stared at him.
*~ I love you...*~ Yoh thought staring gently into Manta's eyes.
" Yoh-kun...you fool...why'd you have to do that.." he continued to sob in his arms.
Yoh lay in bed as the nurse came in to change his bandages. He groaned as she tied the guaze tightly to his wounds.
