White Rose
Chapter Five
'Where are they?' Michiru thought as she looked out the window. The snow had increased since the last time she looked out. "It only takes Haruka 30 minutes to drive from the city to here." She left the window and headed to the phone. 'I'll call her and see what's taking so long.'
"Out of service, must be the storm." Michiru decides to go play her violin and wait for them to return.
An ambulance pulled up to the hospital, two paramedics pulled a stretcher out with a blonde hair person laying on it. Another paramedic carried a little girl with short black hair into the hospital.
"What do we have?" One of the doctors shouted. "Car accident victim, head wound, internal bleeding, dislocated shoulder." One of the paramedics yelled as they pushed the stretcher down the hall.
"Trauma room three," the doctor order. The paramedic carrying the child took her into another room and sat her down on the bed. "It's okay sweetie." The paramedic tried to comfort the frightened child. A woman doctor with short blue hair came into the room and moved over to the bed.
"Hello sweetie," she said in a very soft voice. The little girl looked up into her eyes.
"What's your name?" The child just looked at her. "My name is Ami." The doctor looked at the child forehead which was bleeding. She put a piece of gauze over the cut to make it stop bleeding. "There you go," the doctor smiled at the child.
"Where's my daddy?" The little girl started to cry. "They are working on him in a different room."
"Can you tell me your name?"
"Hotaru."
"That's a pretty name... can you tell me your daddy's last name?"
"Tenoh." The doctor smiled "could you look after her until I get back." She asked the paramedic. "Thanks" She left the room and headed to the trauma room where Hotaru's dad was. She arrived to an empty room, blood all over the floor.
"Where is the patience?" She asked one of the nurses. "The patience is in the operating room, there trying to stop the bleeding."
"Did anyone contact their family?" The nurse shook her head no. There was a bag of the patience stuff on the floor in the corner of the room. The doctor went through it and found a wallet, she opened it and there was a picture looking back at her. The picture was of three people, a tall blonde and shorter aqua hair woman and a small baby with black hair. 'They look so happy.' She thought as she looked for a phone number of someone she could contact. On a white piece of paper was a name 'Michiru Kaioh' and a phone number. The doctor went over to the phone and dialled the number.
Michiru stood by the piano playing her violin with her eyes closed. She played the song that she and Haruka would perform at a charity ball. The song came to an end and she opened her eyes. It was very dark in the room. 'How long was I playing for?' She glanced at the clock. "Haruka and Hotaru should be home by now." She walked out into the living room, no one was there.
Ring,
Ring . She ran to the phone. 'Maybe it's them' she thought as she picked the phone up.
"Hello."
"Hi, is this Ms Michiru Kaioh?" It was the doctor from the hospital. "Yes and who am I speaking to?"
"My name is Dr. Mizuno." 'Doctor' there was a pause. "Do you know Haruka Tenoh and Hotaru Tomoe?"
"Yes, Hotaru is my daughter and Haruka is my lover."
"Would you come to the hospital as soon as possible?" Michiru stopped breathing. "Miss, are you okay?" Michiru managed to say 'ya.' She hanged up the phone and then dialled Setsuna number. Michiru explained what happened. "I'll be there in five minutes."
Michiru and Setsuna ran into the hospital and up to the receptions desk. "I'm looking for Hotaru Tomoe and Haruka Tenoh." Michiru basically shouted at the nurse. "Relation?" the nurse asked in a very snotty voice. "Hotaru is my daughter and Haruka is my lover." "Hotaru is in room 28, down the hall to your left."
"What about Haruka?" The nurse rolled her eyes and typed something in the computer. Michiru started to tap her finger on the desk; she was starting to get impatience. "Tenoh is still in surgery." The nurse turned around and started to do something on her computer. Michiru was about to smack the nurse but Setsuna stopped her by grabbing her hand and dragging her down the hall to room 28. When they enter the room a doctor was changing the bandage on Hotaru's forehead. She heard the door open and jumped off the bed before the doctor could get the bandage on.
"Mama," she ran into waiting arms. "Princess." Michiru picked her up and gave her a tight squeeze. The doctor walked over to them and introduced herself.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you, I'm Dr. Ami Mizuno." She shook hands with Michiru and Setsuna. "How is my little princess doing?"
"Great" Hotaru answered with happiness. The doctor smiled. "She has a cut on her forehead and a few bruises but that's about it." Michiru placed Hotaru on the bed. "Come play with me auntie." Hotaru held up a Sailor Uranus and Neptune dolls. Setsuna joined her adopted niece in playing.
"Can I speak to you Dr. Mizuno?" The doctor nodded and walked in the hallway with Michiru. "Do you know how Haruka's doing?" Michiru's eyes were full of hope.
"When she came in she had internal bleeding, they had to operate on order to save her… I'll go check and see if she is done her surgery yet." Dr. Mizuno patted Michiru shoulder. "It will be alright."
"Thanks." Michiru entered the room and watch Hotaru play with her toys.
Dr. Mizuno came back 30 minutes later. "You can go see her now." Michiru followed her to the recovery room. "She still isn't awake yet but you can sit with her."
Haruka didn't look like herself. Her left arm was bandaged and in a sling and her head was bandage as well. The only noise that was heard was the machine monitoring the heart beats of her love. She sat there what seemed like hours but it was only 30 minutes. The grip on her hand got tighter; Michiru looked at Haruka's face, her eyes slowly opened.
"Hi" was the only word that came out of her dry lips. Michiru smiled, "How are you feeling?"
"Like I got hit by a car." Haruka closed her eyes with a smile on her lips. Haruka's eyes shot opened. "Where is Hotaru, is she alright?" Haruka was silenced by Michiru's finger.
"She's fine, she got a cut on her forehead and some bruises but that's all." A pain flashed through her body and she moaned. "What's the matter?" Michiru stood up.
"I think...I need some...pain killers." She said through her grinning teeth. "I'll be right back." Ten seconds later a nurse came in and gave her a pain killer. Haruka fell into a deep sleep.
"Here is some medicine for pain, Haruka." The doctor handed them to her. "Thanks." Haruka sat in a wheel chair waiting to leave the hospital. "Make sure she doesn't do anything for the next few weeks Michiru." She shook her head in a agreement.
"Thanks for all your help Ami."
"Your welcome" Michiru walked beside Haruka as a nurse pushed her down the hallway to their new car. They left the hospital parking lot in hopes of never coming back.
Haruka stood in the doorway of their bedroom watching Michiru play her violin. 'How I love you so much.' She thought as she watched her love making beautiful music. Michiru felt that someone was watching her so she stopped playing and opened her eyes.
"You shouldn't be up walking around dear." Haruka walked over to Michiru and wrapped her one good arm around her pulling ever so close. "I guess your dream came true, Michi."
"Ya," Michiru wrapped her arms around Haruka's neck, careful not to hurt her. "But you kept your promise and you didn't leave me." Michiru whispered into her ear, "I love you with all my heart."
"And I love you my wind racer."
