Kira's eyes fluttered open for the first time in days. When the bright ceiling lights assaulted her eyes she cringed and clenched them shut. After a few minutes she dared to open her eyes once more. She grimaced, that fall really did a number on her, for the room was spinning and her head was pounding. Kira reached out for the bed rails and attempted to sit up to better survey her surroundings, but was stopped by the shooting pains in her lower back.
"Oh thank God she's awake!" came the shrill cry of her mother as she came rushing into the room, knocking over the vase of flowers as she made her way to her daughter. "Kira," she murmured happily as she took Kira's bandaged head in both her hands and kissed her forehead gently.
"How long have I been here?" Kira asked when her mother finally pulled away.
"Four days," answered her mother, pulling a chair to the side of Kira's bed.
Kira let the number sink into her head... four whole days. A lot could have happened in four days, Rei could be sitting in jail or worse. "What's happened in court? Is the trail over?" Kira asked worriedly.
"Oh, they stopped the trails until you've recovered," replied her mother. "You're father and I have been so worried about you," her mother whispered, placing her hand over Kira's pale and frail ones; careful not to trouble the IV.
Kira's lips tightened. She wanted to argue that her stepfather was the one who caused all this to happen, but she was far too tired. "Has anybody come to see me?" she asked instead.
"If you mean that Kashino boy then no," her mother answered, in a tone that hinted disapproval.
Kira frowned inwardly. Why hadn't Rei come to visit her, in the moments before waking up for the first time since she was in the hospital she'd been hoping to wake up to seeing his face. It hurt her to know that he hadn't even visited her. "How serious is it? What happened to me, to the baby?" she asked after an awkward period of silence elapsed.
"Oh sweetie," her mother murmured as she began to stroke Kira's cheek.
"Any word on where Kira's being held or exactly what is wrong with her?" Rei asked as he slipped into his chair at the dining table.
"Whatever happened to 'Hello and good morning?'" his father mused aloud in response before taking a sip of his tea.
"Well? Have you heard anything?" Rei persisted, eager for any information. It drove him mad that his girlfriend was hurt and in some hospital and he didn't even have the slightest idea of what was happening to her.
"Oh, Simmons called earlier..."
"Simmons? Who's he and what does he have to do with Kira?" Rei asked quizzically.
"He's you're lawyer..." his father answered with a shake f the head. "Any ways, he says that she should be making a speedy recovery... but I forgot what hospital he told me she was in. I think it was uh... something victory... memorial-"
"Victory Memorial Hospital!" Rei finished for him.
"Yeah, that's it," said his father.
Rei let out a small chuckle. "Memory getting bad in you're old age eh pops?" he joked.
Rei's father let out a hearty laughter. "I suppose you're right," he replied. "Hey?! Where are you going? Aren't you going to eat you're breakfast? Hurry or it'll get cold."
"I... uh not feeling well. I think it's a stomach virus, I'll be upstairs in my room," Rei said, coming up with a quick lie.
"Stomach virus? Maybe I shouldn't go to that meeting I had scheduled with the managers at the office," his father said, looking concerned. "You should go and see a doctor."
"No no, I'm sure it isn't that bad. Just tell Jeeves not to bother me while I'm sleeping. I'll be fine in a day," Rei said, speaking quicker than usual.
"Are you sure?" he asked as he reached into his brief case to get out his cellphone.
"Yes yes, I'm as strong as an ox. Don't worry about it," Rei said as he got up and began to walk upstairs. He held onto the railing with one hand and held his stomach as though he were in pain with the other. "Have a good day at work!" he called out when he was at the top of the stairs.
When he was out of sight he ran into his room and shut the door behind him. He dove into the pile on clothes in front of his bed and looked for his phone. He dialed Tatsuya's number as quickly as his fingers could manage.
"Ugh... hello?" came the groggy voice of Tatsuya after many rings.
"Yeah hey, I wanted to ask you a favor," Rei said, cutting right to the point. He had no time for small chat.
"Favor? People don't ask other people favors this early in the morning," Tatsuya replied, getting ready to hang up on Rei.
"Come on it's important," he pleaded with Tatsuya, glancing at the clock on his desk. It was already ten o'clock.
"Nothing's important this early in the morning. How about you call me back at three and we'll work something out," he said, pushing his head further into the pillow.
"It's about Kira," Rei said, and Tatsuya knew it was serious. "Look, I know what room she's in and I need you to come with me so I can visit her. They probably wont give me a pass to see her, knowing her step dad and all. So what I need you to do is get the pass and then give it to me, after I'm done I give it to you sneak out the way I sneaked in and you return the pass to the receptionist."
Tatsuya groaned loudly. "What time?"
"Now."
"Ah, so sleeping beauty awakes!"
Kira opened her eyes to see who the voice belonged to, hoping that it would be Rei. After seeing him at court, she missed him even more. She frowned when she saw her stepfather standing in the doorway.
"I knew you'd be just fine. You had you're mother all worried for nothing..."
"Murderer," she whimpered as tears streamed down her face, her heart was completely enveloped with rage and hate.
"What? I didn't quite catch that," he said, playing innocent.
"You murderous beast! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" she cried out, waking all the patients in the rooms surrounding hers.
"Surely you don't mean that," he replied, completely unfazed by what she just said. He took a few steps closer until he was standing at her bedside, then turned to check if he had closed the door.
"Get out," she ordered him, but the fire in her died out and he was unaffected.
He leaned over and kissed her tear stained cheeks.
She wanted to yell out again, get the attention of a nurse maybe, but for some reason her voice box did not want to cooperate. Kira grimaced as his lips touched hers and as his hot tongue flicked her lips as if asking them to part for him.
"What's the matter? Loosen up and be a good girl for daddy," he said as his hands ventured under her covers and searched for a way under her nightgown.
As he did this Kira looked for the nurse alert button and prayed that they'd come in time and that he wouldn't notice before they got there.
"Ah, that's a good girl," he said when he found the corner of the one piece open back hospital gown and began to fondle and squeeze her tender breasts.
She winced in pain and wished he'd stop. Kira always knew that he was an animal to rape a little girl, but to rape a girl in the hospital was just satanic and unforgivable. She tried to turn her face away from him as his tongue brutally rubbed against hers almost suffocating her.
Her stepfather's rubbing became rougher and faster, she knew what was coming as he removed one hand and placed it on his belt and braced herself for it.
"How may I help you..." came the nurse as she stood in the doorway, but stopped short for she was confused and did not know how to register the scene in front of her.
Kira looked up at the ceiling and sighed outwardly, thankful that someone had come before he drove his staff into her already wounded body.
"I... uh... She had an itch but couldn't reach so I was helping her with it," he said, offering a lie not even the world's biggest fool would believe.
"I'm afraid that I'll have to inform-" the young nurse stopped speaking when he approached her, slipped a hundred in her hand and left.
Kira looked at her, pleading with her eyes for the nurse to do something, but the nurse looked away nervously and stepped out of the room. The door shut gently and Kira was once again by herself. At times like these she felt that she was forsaken and was never meant to get away from her stepfather, that maybe some people didn't have happy endings.
The door swung open ten minutes later, and fear struck her. It seemed that her father came back to finish what he'd started.
"I was hoping you'd be awake," came the voice of the one person she'd been dying to see the entire day. "No, it's all right you shouldn't be sitting up," Rei said as he placed a hand on her shoulder to keep her from trying to sit upright.
"I wanted to see you so badly," she said, raising a hand to caress his cheek.
"I would have come sooner, but I couldn't find out where they were keeping you," Rei said as he sat down in the chair next to her bed. He reached out and gently grasped her hands, careful of the wires poking out of them.
She nodded, feeling guilty about being angry with him for not seeing her. "It's okay..."
"I was going to bring you flowers, but if I left them here then you're mom and dad might know that it was me. Then I thought about buying you chocolate but I didn't know if you'd be able to eat it... you know hospitals and their strict rules. If you want it though I'll go and buy you a bar from the gift shop downstairs."
Kira's lips curved upwards, only a ghost of a smile on her bruised face. "You're babbling. Why are you so nervous?" She knew him that well.
He looked down as a blush crept upon his cheeks. "I get jittery whenever I go to hospitals. It reminds me of when my mom was in the hospital... bad memories and all that," he explained shortly.
Kira nodded and closed her eyes, she was satisfied now that Rei was at her side.
"How's the baby? He didn't get hurt did he?" Rei asked as he looked at her stomach, he couldn't tell the size of her stomach because of all the blankets on top of her.
Her eyes welled up with tears again and a hard lump formed in her throat. "It would have been a boy," was all she could manage to say before tears overwhelmed her and she began to sob again.
Rei stared at her blankly, of all the disappointments, his brother's death, the discovery of his real father's death, having to give up his motorcycle, being sentenced to years in juvie, being in court now. None of it compared to this, nothing. He shook his head. "No... It couldn't have. Kira please don't tell me."
Kira moved her hands from in front of her eyes and looked at the heartbroken man in front of her. "They tried to save it... They took him out and thought they could put him in an incubator, but he died hours later. The fall was too much for him."
He closed his eyes as though everything in the room was far too painful for him to look at. It felt as if his heart would stop any second and the entire world was crashing down on him. A lone tear traveled down his cheek, soon followed by many others.
Kira looked at him, almost in shock. She'd never seen him this crushed before. A large part of her just wanted to make his pain go away. She couldn't think of anything to say, so she just reached out a hand and ran it through his golden tresses hoping to calm him down.
Author's Note- ::Sobs:: So sad! ::Sigh:: I'm sorry, I know most of you guys didn't want her to have a miscarriage but... yeah it just had to happen. Hark! An idea has settled down upon me alas! Hehe... I think I may decide to write a fairly short song inspired Mars fic. It's something along the lines of a Cinderella story mixed with the song 'Wrong Way' by Sublime. So, what do you guys think? Sounds exciting to me, I should have the first chapter up in one or two weeks (I like having a story map when writing fanfics... or anything else for that matter).
