Chapter 17: Accident!

ALONG THE ROAD

Kiyota couldn't help but to sigh all the way going home. The day was truly depressing and there's no point cheering him up that day. Even the news of Junta-sensei that he doesn't need to take the finals because of the amazing and surprisingly high scores he got in the quizzes. Actually it made him more depressed, knowing he is passing Chemistry because Arika helped him...

Yeah Arika, the girl who made him heal his broken heart now broken again. He doesn't blame Arika, he blames himself. It was his fault really, all his fault. Then he heard someone calling his name...

"Nii-chan! Kiyota-niichan!" the small voice exclaimed. Kiyota stared at the other road and saw Arika's younger brother Shuuichi waving at him. Kiyota smiled and said, "Shu-chan! What are you doing here?" Shuuichi grinned and said, "I'm going over to Kainan to fetch nee-chan!"

Kiyota chuckled and said, "Fetch Arika, isn't she the one who is the one to fetch you?" Shuuichi grinned even more and said, "Ehehehe... I want to surprise nee-chan!" Kiyota smiled, "Such a sweet child" Kiyota thought. Then to his horror Shuuichi crossed the road at the same time a speeding sports car came rushing in.

He dropped his bag and cried as he rushed towards Shuuichi, "ABUNAI! SHUUICHI!" with that he managed to grabbed the boy by the waist getting him and his self to the other side. Kiyota hit the post with a loud bang still clutching Shuuichi.

Shuuichi opened his eyes slowly to see that he was safe. He then felt trickled of blood dripping over his face, he looked up and saw Kiyota looking at him with a bleeding head. "Daijoubu ka Shu-chan?" Shuuichi's eyes watered and exclaimed, "Nii-chan! Your head is bleeding!"

"I'm all right Shu-chan, the important thing is your safe..." Kiyota replied faintly giving the boy a small smile. Shuuichi shook his head and said, "I'll call for help, stay here nii-chan!" he then stood up but Kiyota grabbed his arm saying, "Shu-chan... Arika... I love Arika... I do love your sister... gomen ne Shu-chan, I hurt your nee-chan's feelings... I betrayed Arika... gomen ne Shu-chan" with that Kiyota lost consciousness.

"NII-CHAN!!!!" Shuuichi cried seeing Kiyota lost consciousness.

KAINAN AUDITORIUM

Misa smiled at everyone and said, "That's for today minna-san good job!" Arika sighed as she stood up thinking, "What a tiring day" Veniz then came rushing in crying, "ARIKA! ARIKA!"

Arika turned around asking, "Doushite Veniz-san?" Veniz grabbed her by the shoulders saying, "Kiyota-kun! Kiyota-kun got into an accident! Shuuichi took him to the hospital!"

Colors from Arika's face drained out upon hearing what Veniz's had said. Without saying anything she ran out of the auditorium. Jin approached Veniz and asked, "This is a joke right?" Veniz shook her head and said, "No Jin-san! It's true! Common, Kiyota-kun needs us!"

Jin nod his head and along with Veniz they rushed out of the auditorium following Arika.

HOSPITAL

Waiting Area

Arika saw Shuuichi seating on the hospital bench, the poor kid looked terrible. His clothes are stained from dirt and some blood. Tears were falling from the boy's eyes. Arika approached Shuuichi saying, "Shu-chan! Daijoubu ka?"

Shuuichi shook his head and said, "Iie! Nee-chan, Kiyota-niichan... he hit his head on the post really hard. His head was bleeding... nee-chan I thought nii-chan was going to die!"

"Hush now Shuuichi! It's all right, tell me why did Kiyota hit his head on the post?" Arika asked wiping the tears of her little brother. Shuuichi hiccupped and told Arika what happened. "He saved my life nee-chan!" those words rang in Arika's mind as Shuuichi finished his story.

Arika replied, "He did that? Oh Shu-chan..." Shuuichi nod his head and he then said, "Before he passed out, he was saying sorry to me... he told me that he loves you very much and he was sorry that he hurt you nee-chan! Nii-chan loves you... very much"

At that moment tears fall out of Arika's eyes. She couldn't believe it. First Kiyota saved her brother, and next even though he knew that he is complete danger of losing his life, he was still thinking of her... saying he loves her. Arika hugged Shuuichi saying, "I know Shuuichi... I know... nee-chan loves Kiyota-kun very much too"

Shuuichi nod his head and said, "I know nee-chan" then the doctor appeared. Arika stood up and asked, "Doctor how's Kiyota?" the Doctor sighed and said, "He's all right now, it's a nasty hit but he'll survive. He's unconsciousness for now but he'll wake up probably tomorrow"

Arika sighed a relief and said, "Thank God. Arigato Doctor" The doctor smiled and said, "Your welcome, you can see him now"

KIYOTA'S HOSPITAL ROOM

There Kiyota lay, with a bandage on his head, unconscious. Arika looked at Kiyota who was sleeping peacefully. Arika touched Kiyota's hand and said, "Thank you Kiyota... thank you for saving Shuiichi's life. I owe you his life. Thank you"

She then bent forward and gave Kiyota a small kiss on the lips and said, "I do still love you... I do still love you and that's the truth Kiyota Nobunaga... I love you... with all my heart"
