:::Kairi's POV:::
I stared up at all the bright lights that had encircled me. There were many doctors and nurses around me with masks. I felt like I had been abducted by aliens... I didn't know what was going to happen to me... I had been told I might not wake up... I might not wake up... Then there was the chance of I might wake up... All I know is I did not like my settings right now. For one I had been strapped to a cold metal table and the worst part was I had to be completely naked when they done this stupid surgery... Why yes I had a thin paper thing that covered me but it didn't do much good I was still naked... The doctors expressions were serious and I know one was examining something he didn't need to be looking at and if I hadn't have been overly sedated by so many drugs I would've smacked him...
"Ok Kairi now I want you to take deep breaths." replied one doctor.
"Count backwards from a hundred." then replied another as a mask was placed over my face. Some kind of gas started to enter me nostrils... It made my body feel really light like I was floating then the faces of the doctors started to blur and my eyelids started to get really heavy.
Ninety-nine...
Ninety-eight...
Ninety-seven...
Then before I knew it my eyelids had closed and I had lost all contact from the world.
:::Riku's POV:::
I was very tired and my body was very anxious for some reason. All day I'd been really jumpy for some reason. I was sitting in a half empty waiting room. There was a man besides me with a small child of maybe three years old. It'd been nearly an hour since they'd taken Kairi into surgery. The surgery was going to be long... Nearly nine hours... Then she'd be put in recovery for two. One of the nurses told me that I should go home and rest... but I just couldn't rest even if I tried. My body refused to let me sleep at all. I couldn't even eat anything without throwing it up... and the feeling of an empty stomach made me feel even worse.
Suddenly the small girl that the man was holding trotted over to me. She had soft blue eyes and brown stringy hair. Her thumb was in her mouth and her rag doll in her left hand. She then took the thumb from her mouth.
"My names Susie and my mommy is having a new baby." replied the little girl.
"Is your mommy having a new baby to?" she asked looking at me innocently.
"No I don't have a mommy." I replied.
The questions this child asked her so arrogant but incredibly sweet and innocent. If you had met this girl you would have immediately fell in love with that little face.
A little hope filled my heart as I looked at her.
"Oh." she replied.
She then did something I would've never expected.
"Here you can have her." she replied as she gave me the doll.
"My mommy's having a real baby so I don't need this fake one anymore." she replied.
I took the doll and watched the little girl waddle off. She had easily parted with this treasure that must've been so dear and close to her heart that I almost couldn't take it ,but something told me to. If this little girl could have so much hope then so could I. No one ever said that I had to believe that Kairi was going to die... It was my own choice. There was a possibility she'd live to. Yes Kairi would live... I took the doll and placed it in my seat with my things and I decided to go take a walk to the kitchen and thats when I seen it. There was Sora... He'd been drinking... I could smell it on his breath.
"Sora?" I questioned.
"What do you want?" he asked as he looked at me. He looked awful. He was as pale as a ghost. Dark circles were under his eyes. He'd not slept in days and I noticed he looked a bit thinner to.
"Sora what have you been doing!?" I questioned.
"What does it matter to you?" he hissed at me scornfully.
"Were is she I want to see her!" he yelled at me.
"She's in surgery I told you!" I yelled back at him.
"Liar!"he yelled at me.
I then knew this wasn't Sora who was talking to me. It was the drugs... Sora was taking pills to ease the pain and if he didn't stop it was going to kill him.
"Sora have you been taking drugs..." I choked out.
"Why do you care!?" he yelled back at me.
I then felt myself become very angry at him as the blood began to boil in my veins. I walked over to him and grabbed him by his shirt collar and began to yell at him.
"Do you not realize Kairi's in pain!? If she sees you like this she's going to get worse Sora!" I yelled at him. I then seen hurt feel his eyes. Something I'd never seen before in my life and then I dropped him to the ground. I then heard low toned sobs as Sora let it all out upon the tile floor and my heart began to ache badly. I sat down and done something I'd never thought I'd ever do. I embraced him and let him cry into me just like a baby would its mother. Sora needed to cry... I don't think he was just crying for Kairi or himself but I think he was crying for everyone...
