Chapter 8
~Makura~
"You have to let me see her!" Makura insisted once again, as she tried to gain entry into HiKari's hospital room. "I'm sorry Miss, but HiKari is in critical condition and we cannot let any visitors in yet. I'm sorry." She bowed and entered HiKari's room.
Makura looked down and turned to Mokuba and Seto. They walked over to her. "Well?" Mokuba asked. Makura solemnly shook her head. "Don't worry Makura, I'm sure HiKari will be just fine" Mokuba said with encouragement.
Makura looked up, "How can I know if I'm not there for her?" Makura, Mokuba, and Seto sat in the waiting room. Makura rested her head on her hands, 'I'm the worst sister in the world. I should've been there for her, I should've known.
Makura looked up to Seto. She could see that Seto was slowly drifting off to sleep with his eyes wide open. 'The only reason I could actually be there to beat the crap out of Suzuki was because he helped with his technology.'
Makura titled her head to the side. Mokuba was asleep leaning against Seto. 'And I wouldn't have found anything if Mokuba hadn't lead us there. I feel so useless, so helpless to help my own sister.'
Makura closed her eyes, 'HiKari, please don't die. I don't know what I'd do without you. If you go, it will be sure enough that I will go soon after you. You don't want me to do that do you?' A tear escaped down her cheek. 'HiKari, this can't be the end... it just can't be!'
~HiKari's Hospital Room~
"How is she doctor?" the nurse asked. The doctor looked up. "Not so good, she was shot right near her heart, and she has lost a lot of blood." The doctor unhooked the ivy. "There is nothing more we can do."
He turned to the heartbeat machine. It beep every once a minute, which wasn't good. "It's all up to HiKari now, she must fight her own battle." He turned and walked out of the room along side of the nurse.
~HiKari~
HiKari opened her eyes, she was in a white room. She looked around. "Guys?" She turned, there stood Mokuba, Seto, Yugi, and Makura. "Hey guys! I thought I would never see you again!" HiKari said happily.
They just stood there, not moving at all. "Guys? Guys, you ok?" They slowly started moving backwards. "Hey! Wait for me!" HiKari tried to run for them, but suddenly mirrors blocked her way. She stopped and stared at herself. She looked down at herself.
"Hey, where are the cuts? How come I'm not bleeding?" HiKari's head shot up when she felt someone put their hand on her shoulder. She turned quickly, "Who are you?!" Glass shattering was heard as she looked at the woman with sky-blue hair and orange streaks.
"Has it been that long... that you do not remember?"
"What are you talking about? Remember what?"
"It is I, HiKari Joan Bruder, your mother." HiKari took a step back in shock. "Mom?" The woman nodded. "I am not alone, my dear HiKari." Suddenly a man appeared next to her. He had electric green hair and dashing, bright blue eyes.
"Your father as well."
"Mom? Dad? What are you guys doing here?"
"We have come to warn you." The man took HiKari by the hand. HiKari stared at his hand, then looked up into his face. "Warn me about what?"
"Your sister needs you, Dear" her mother said kindly. HiKari turned to her mother, "Makura? Need me? That's crazy!" HiKari looked down, "Makura never needed me." Her mother walked over to her and placed her hand on her shoulder. "Do you know why I spared your life back then?"
HiKari looked up, she shook her head. "Because I knew that someday I would not be here for Makura, that she would have to face the world on her own. But I didn't want that, nor did I want such a tiny life to fade that fast."
HiKari looked down, "Makura could face the world, she's not weak."
"Oh honey, do you know what your sister is doing right now?" HiKari shook her head.
~Makura~
"Makura Bruder, you may see your sister." Makura jumped to her feet and ran over to the nurse. She turned back to Mokuba, Seto, and Yugi. "You guys coming?" Seto shook his head, "This is your sister. You should have alone time." Makura nodded and followed the nurse to HiKari's room.
"Here you go." The nurse opened the door for her. Makura looked at the limp body that was masked and had an ivy contained with blood next to her. Makura quickly ran to HiKari's bed and fell to her knees next to the bed. Tears falling down her face.
"HiKari, I-I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I should've been a better sister. I promise to be better, you just can't die on me HiKari!" She looked up, the HiKari made no movement. More tears fell down her face, "HiKari, I have to tell you something..." HiKari still didn't move.
"I'm not the strong sister you thought me to be. I'm not strong at all, I'm actually weak, weaker than anyone I know. I lied, I do need something, something that keeps me going. I need you HiKari, and you just can't give up on me. If you do, I will too. The only person that is strong of us... is you. That's why you can't die."
Makura grasped HiKari's hand and cried into it.
~HiKari~
"What?" her mother smiled, "She's hoping, wishing for you. She needs you HiKari, she will always. She telling you right now how much she cares and needs you. She is waiting HiKari."
"How do you know this?" her mother smiled, "I am your mother, and will always be with the both of you. You 2 are never alone... ever. Weather you are apart, or together, I am with you always, till the end of time."
HiKari smiled, "Thanks Mom. But... what should I do now?" The mother walked over to the father. Her father put his hands around her mother and smiled. Her mother smiled as well, "You must fight on HiKari, your sister needs you..."
She floated into the whiteness along with her father. "Never give up HiKari! Never..." was the last HiKari heard before everything went black.
~Makura~
Makura had fallen asleep. HiKari's hand squeezed between hers. Makura opened her eyes. It had suddenly become quiet. "HiKari?" Makura turned to the heartbeat machine. It had completely stopped.
"No! HiKari, wake up!" Tears fell down her face, "No! HiKari!" Suddenly doctors came in and looked at the heartbeat machine. The heartbeat was dead gone. "I'm sorry, but HiKari is dead.
"No!" More after more tears fell down her face. "HiKari! Please, I just want to see your eyes again, your smiling face..." Makura sobbed. She cried into HiKari's hand, still squeezing it. She stopped when she felt a squeeze back. She stopped and looked up.
HiKari opened her eyes and weakly smiled. Makura turned to the heartbeat machine. Her heart wasn't beating at all, so how was... "It's a miracle!" a doctor shouted as the heartbeat machine started beating again.
"HiKari!" Makura hugged HiKari. "I'll always be there for you... Kura." Makura smiled and started crying again. This time, happily. "Kari! Your ok!" Mokuba said happily running to the other side of HiKari.
"Hey Kid, you ok?" Mokuba nodded happily. "HiKari..." HiKari looked up to Yugi who was smiling at her. "Well, it's about time..." Seto said. HiKari looked up to him. He smirked. "We're so glade your ok" Tea said. HiKari looked around, the whole gang was here.
She smiled, and cried as well. "What's wrong Kari?" Serenity asked. She looked up to everyone who stood around her bed. "All I ever wanted... was friends... friends who cared... and now, I think I finally have achieved that."
Everyone smiled. "HiKari..." HiKari turned to Makura, there was still some tears falling slowly down her face. "I love you." ************************************************************************ That was (containing tears) CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
