Amber Eyes
Chapter 12:Get Well My Love
SummaryKenshin is sick and in the hospital. Will he be okay?
In shock I stood there, almost crying. I may have killed Kenshin, I thought. If he does not get better... if he doesn't.... I will die. I love him, how could I do this to him, I thought. Slowly, I walked to his bedside, his gi was soaked in his own sweat, and he looked as though he was in pain. The worst feeling I had, was that it was all my fault. Wait a second, why wasn't I sick? that is what I had to ask. "Ms.Megumi. I ate some of that chicken too, why am I not sick?" she looked at me strangely.
"How much did you eat?"
"A few bites."
"Ah, you see, you have to eat quite a bit to get sick, he must have eaten plenty to have gotten this sick." For a second I had to think about it, he did eat a lot of it. Right there, right then, I just wanted to die. Because I wanted him to eat, he got sick, because I wanted to cook, he is sick.
Suddenly I heard Kenshin scream in pain. That was when I finally broke down, I just couldn't take it anymore. I walked to is bed and wept. For a moment or so I left the world, hoping that if I didn't hear it, it wasn't happening. Kenshin was not screaming. "Ms. Kamiya." I was still hidden in my own world, I could hear someone calling me, but I didn't want to come out. "Ms. Kamiya!" finally I gave up, I couldn't avoid it forever. Mrs.Megumi was calling me for a reason. Kenshin wasn't just screaming.... he was calling my name.
"KAORU!!!" he was sweating heavier by the second, and tears were pouring out of his eyes. "KAORU!!" he wasn't screaming as loud now. "KAORU!" I didn't know what to do, I know he was calling for me, but what could I do? "Kaoru!" His scream was almost at speaking level. His clenched hand was at his side, I saw it get tighter as he yelled, "Kaoru!" so I grabbed his hand.
"I'm sorry Kenshin, I'm so sorry. Please forgive me, I didn't mean to make you sick. Please get better." I wept and beg. Never would I have expected what happened next. I felt something on my shoulder. The whole time my eyes were closed so I didn't notice. I opened my eyes to see what it was and it was Kenshin's other hand. He leaned onto his side and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Kaoru, I love you, I always will." He was still sweating, his face getting wetter and paler, until I guess he didn't have any more fluid to sweat out, he started bleeding instead of sweating.(A/N I heard somewhere that you can sweat so much that at some point blood can come out of your sweat glands if you are overly anxious, scared, nervous, or just plain sick. If I heard wrong inform me pweeeeessee!!!)
"M-Ms. Megumi wha-what is going on?"
"Oh no. Ms. Kamiya go fetch the doctor! Now!" I ran as fast as I could trying to find someone that could help Kenshin. The doctor was on the other side of the building, at first he tried to get me to tell me what was wrong, since he wouldn't come, I literally dragged him. He wasn't going to talk to me while Kenshin died, no he was going to help Kenshin get better.
When I got into the room Kenshin was worse than I had ever seen, he was paler, and it looked as though he could barely breath by himself. I saw them working for hours trying to get him to stop bleeding and go back to sleep like he was. When he finally did go back to the way he was before he bled Megumi took me to the side. "Ms. Kamiya, his recovery seems very slim. If I were you, I would waste no time with him." I hoped all this was a nightmare, that I would wake up next to Kenshin like I had been.
"Ms. Megumi, is there not anything that can raise his chances." I was trying my hardest to hold back tears as she shook her head. I walked near Kenshin and leaned down to him.
"I should die Kenshin, I have been horrible to you, I would be an unfit wife for you. Kenshin, I made you so sick, I wish you could hear me. I don't want to see you this way, you should be happy and full of life, like you have been. I want to see your smile again. Your smile always cheered me up, please..Kenshin, smile to me one more time."
I felt like I would collapse. My love, the one that I were to marry and be happy with, had a slim chance to recovery, and I didn't keep that chance slim. I felt it was no chance. "Kenshin. I love you Kenshin. Please... Get well my love... please."
(A/N I know, you're mad now aren't you.)
