Ryuichi sat in the uncomfortable waiting room chair. He was glad to be in the waiting room for once instead of in the rooms, but this almost worse. From what he had heard, they were doing as much as they could to save Tohma. Ryuichi felt bad for Tohma, the keyboardist had his stomach pumped already, something that sounded very painful. Poor Kumagorou was running out of ears by this time. Noriko had already sewed one of them back on.

"Are you all for Seguchi Tohma?" Came a voice. Ryuichi's head snapped up. "Yes!" He answered for all of them hurriedly. He blinked, feeling the gaze of the doctor on him. Probably staring at his eyes, his noted to himself. Ryuichi always wondered why people did that. "How is Tohma?" He asked urgently.

"Seguchi-san is alive. But only just. He needs a blood transfusion to survive."

Ryuichi's head drooped in shock. His empty eyes glazed over. Tohma couldn't possibly be that sick... it was a rule. Seguchi Tohma rules the universe. Therefore, he couldn't possibly be that sick...

"We will need to do tests to see which of you can give to him."

Ryuichi blinked. "Don't they have blood banks for this reason?" He asked with a frown, looking squarely at the doctor without seeing him. The doctor looked away nervously, checking his clipboard. "Seguchi-san has very... unusual blood." Was all he said.

"I already know I'm not a match. Tohma was tested when I needed it, and we weren't compatible." Said Noriko, sounding quite forlorn. Ryuichi stood. "Test me." He said, leaving no room for argument. Shuichi stood also. "And me." He said, causing Hiroshi's eyes to widen. "Shu... are you sure you want to..." He asked uncertainly, but trailed off as Shuichi got that look in his eyes again. Hiroshi sighed. "Test me, too." He said.

Seguchi Tohma felt strange. Everything was so far away...

Shuichi cringed as the needle went into his arm and stayed there for a few moments. Damn nurse couldn't even find the right vein to use, so he had to poke around for a while. Aside from that, he felt it rather odd to see a male nurse. Oh well. The guy took his little tube of Shuichi's blood and walked off with it, after slapping a band-aid on Shuichi as if he could really care less. Shuichi sighed.

Ryuichi sighed as the nurse stuck his needle in. He didn't used to hate needles, but now that he was blind, he couldn't see the needle. Not only did this lead to dreadful anticipation, his heightened sense of touch did not make the sensation any more pleasant. Still, all he did was sigh. He'd done this before, after Noriko's car accident a few years ago. She'd lost tons of blood, and tiny hospital had been short of her type, so Ryuichi donated some of his to her.

Seguchi Tohma walked around the huge white room confusedly. Where was everyone? As far as he walked, the room just kept going. Dammit, where was the end? Where was ANYTHING? Tohma felt dizzy, weaker than usual. His stomach hurt like hell, what was wrong with him? "Someone..." He tried to call out, startled as no sound came out. He began to panic.

Shuichi looked up from the bed he rested on. Nurses ran into the room Tohma was in. Sitting up, he put a hand on where his needles had been, and ran after the nurses. He grabbed a worried looking Ryuichi on his way there, dragging the disoriented man behind him. Reaching the door, they were stopped.

Tohma felt the world getting smaller and smaller. The room now had walls, and they were rushing at him going about 500rpm. He fell to the ground that wasn't under him, holding his head. His lips moved silently, unsure as to though they even produced sound. "Someone... help me..." Tohma's vision started to fade drastically, his head pounding. No one would find him, he'd be stuck in this bloody empty void until he died... everything was so distant...

Ryuichi's eyes widened at the words of the doctors. "He's arresting!" "Someone get those kids out of here!" "Where is that blood? We NEED him to be transfused NOW!" "The pink haired kid is the donor, sir." "Forget the kids, just get that blood in here STAT! Someone stand ready with the refribulators!" Someone ushered Shuichi and Ryuichi out of the room. The two boys were left in the hallway, blinking in confusion.

Ryuichi's eyes, now barely considered blue anymore, shed huge tears. Shuichi came forward to embrace him. Ryuichi sobbed onto Shuichi's shoulder. "I want to see him, Shuichi..." Ryuichi sobbed. Shuichi swallowed, holding Ryuichi more tightly. "I want to see him what if he... and I can't say goodbye? I don't even remember... what he looks like!" Ryuichi said, hiccupping through his words. He was growing increasingly frustrated. Tohma had been his friend for over a decade, and he couldn't even remember him. His face, his eyes, nothing.

Shuichi couldn't take it anymore. He broke the vow he set so long ago. He contacted Tohma.

...Seguchi-san.... Can you hear me?....
