Chapter Eight

While waiting for an answer, Kyou felt like his heart stopped but he didn't even notice he was holding his breath until he heard…

"No, he's not dead. But he is badly injured so he's in the hospital right now. The doctors said that he might slip into a coma but we're praying that he doesn't. But the sad thing was that they said when the paramedics finally got there, he was laying on the floor few feet away from the car in a pool of blood. That was because he was hit by the car full force at a high speed so he must have lost a lot of blood."

In his mind, Kyou imagined and sees Yuki's slender, tiny body crumbled on the floor covered in blood with extreme injuries everywhere on his body. Kyou just thinking that made him sick in the stomach, he quickly ran out of the house to the bushes outside and started puking from disgust.

After he was finished, he rushed back into the house demanding to know which hospital Yuki was sent to and where it was.

Shigure called Hatori over and told him what happened to Yuki. Then they all decided to go in Hatori's car since the hospital was pretty far away and walking would probably take hours.

While everyone was just about to get into the car and leave, Ayame popped out of nowhere wanting to surprised everyone with his sudden cheeriness. But then seeing their pale, worried, and sad looks, he himself became serious. Then he finally realized that his little brother was missing, hoping that nothing happened to him…

"Minna, where's my cute little brother? = ) "

Hoping to lighten the mood, but it didn't.

Everyone exchanged worried looks with one another, not wanting to be the one to break the bad news to the cheerful snake.

"…Umm… guys??"

Everyone still stayed quiet, then finally Hatori decided to step out and tell Ayame:

"Yuki… he's… umm… in the hospital… he was hit by a car"

Hatori said in a quiet and hesitant voice.

Long silence…

Then when the words Hatori said finally sink into the head of a certain snake…

"NANI!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? How is he? Where is he? When can I see him? Why…?"

"First you have to calm down, now lets get into the car, I'll explain everything on the way to the hospital."

At the hospital…

Kyou and Ayame practically attacked the nurse at the counter by just downright screaming at her for information about Yuki's condition. The frighten nurse is luckily saved by Hatori. As Hatori place his hands on the shoulders of the panicking dual to calm them down and tell them to stop scaring the nurse because it wasn't helping anyone especially Yuki.

Hatori turned to the nurse and said,
"I deeply apologize for the actions of my cousins. Please excuse them."

"It's ok... I guess. I understand they are just worried about their loved one. So how may I help you?"

"We are the relatives of Yuki Soma; he was brought in here after getting hit by a car few hours ago. Can you please tell us how his condition is and where we can go to see him?" Hatori said in a very calm and polite voice.

"Ok. Wait a second while I check the computer. Now let me see… Yuki is now still in the emergency room having surgery. It is predicted to end in a hour or so then you can speak to the doctor about his condition. Down this hall is a waiting room, wait there and the doctor would come see you when he's finished."

"Thank you very much"

Hatori then turns around and tells everyone to follow him to the waiting room.
