Chapter Nine
Two hours later...
Kyou impatiently said: "God!!! Why is it taking so long!?!?"
"Be quiet, Kyou! Don't yell so loud, this is a hospital."
But in everyones' mind, they were all thinking the same question: "It's taking longer than expected, but... that doesn't mean that something went wrong, right?"
Then finally the doctor walked out of the room and was immediately crowded around by everyone. Suddenly countless questions were screamed at the poor innocent doctor all at one time. After such a long surgery, he could feel a headache quickly coming on. Then he heard:
"Everyone, be quiet!!!" Hatori calmly said. But no one heard him and just kept on asking the doctor questions about Yuki.
Finally Hatori had enough of the loud noise, so he screamed... "SHUT UP!!!!!"
Everyone was so shocked by the angry, loud words coming from the usually calm and quiet doctor, that it became completely silent with no noise or sounds at all.
"Thank you. Now let the doctor talk, he just came out from giving surgery, give him a break, ok? Gosh... Now be quiet and ask him any questions you have AFTER he finishes talking, ok?
Everyone was still so shocked that they couldn't say anything so they just all nodded their heads.
The doctor looks at Hatori and say: "Thank you so much, my head was about to explode from all that noise. Ok... now let me introduce myself... my name is Dr. Takahashi, but please just call me Ryosuke. Now back to business, I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm glad to tell you all that the surgery was pretty successful. The bad news is that Yuki might still slip into a coma. But it all depends on him now, as long as Yuki can get past tonight with no problems, the chances of him waking up soon after is extremely high. But even if he does wake up, there's still about a fifty percent chance that he could lose his memory of either recent or unimportant events. Whenever you all have time, come here and just talk to him about anything you want, it might help him. I will allow you all to go see him but one at a time, ok?
Everyone happily nodded their head, relieved that they will be able to see Yuki. But in Kyou's mind...
Recent or unimportant memories, huh? So if he does lose his recent memories, he's probably going to lose all the memories about us becoming friends and stopping being enemies and rivals. I don't think that now I know how nice it is to be his friend, I can stand being treated by him like the way before. I know this is weird but I would rather have Yuki forget his recent memories than his unimportant ones because I'm not ready to face it if Yuki doesn't consider the friendship between us a important memory of his. But the Doc said talking helps, right? Ok... forget everything else, I'm gonna stay here with Yuki and not leave until I see him wake up and smile at me with that special smile that he saves just for me.
Since everyone knows how much Kyou actually cares about Yuki but doesn't want to show it, they decided to let Kyou be the first one to see him and Kyou was very thankful of that.
Kyou walks into the room quietly, trying not to make too much noise. Kyou finds the switch and turns on the small lamp on the table next to the bed.
When he look at the peaceful figure sleeping on the bed, the pain and guilt in his heart increased infinite times more, now that he finally got see what he caused to happen...
