Sweet Heart
Part three
Ukyo got many beatings and alot of pain. She threw her spatulas at the monster and it only sent them back. Ryoga blocked for her when he got the chance. His arms were scarred with bloody wounds. The Arena was coverd in blood. It looked as if it had a blood shed carpet. Alot from Ukyo, Some from Ryoga, Very little from the monster.
Ukyo was like a bloody figure. It seemed odd that she was still alive. She was drenched from head to toe in her own blood. No reward is worth this.. Ukyo thought. She felt as if she had lost her skin and was only a walking bag of mucles and bones.
Ryoga tried to keep Ukyo alive. Let alone unharmed but he knew it was too late for that. He defended her as well as himself. If Ukyo collapsed he would have to fight alone, and she'd be dead. Ukyo began wailing in pain. Ryoga tried to calm her down but her wailing in pain got louder. Ryoga used his shishihokodan and it killed the monster after a few times.
Ryoga dashed Ukyo to the hospital, Kioko and Keitaro showed him the way.He dashed Ukyo in and demanded that she see a docter. He got his wish. Ukyo was taken into surgery and Ryoga was left in the waiting room. Kioko and Keitaro were in there with him. But he found himself bursting into tears. He didnt beleve he allowed Ukyo to get hurt so badly. Kioko and Keitaro tried to get him to stop crying but it wasnt any help.
He just wanted his Ucchan. Time passed Ryoga found himself stairing at the clock for hours.
It seemed to be going slower and slower by the second. He felt so cold. He knew he wasnt dying, but he thought Ukyo was.
Meanwhile..With Ukyo...
The room was dark and cold. Ukyo wanted a blanket, or someone's arms. She saw her arms go blue right before her eyes, she felt num and alone. She thought she felt warmth around her. Suddenly. In her hall of darkness, Ryoga emerged from a dark corner. Her walked over to her, bent down beside her and took her in his arms. He told her he was sorry and he actually kissed her alot. Her hands turned to there normal color and she suddenly felt surculation. She cried in his arms. She really did feel warmth.
The pain lessend and lessend. Ukyo felt Ryoga and he told her he wouldnt leave her like that again. Ukyo coffed. She coffed blood. Ryoga's figure dissaperd. But his voice stayed. She called out to him.
"RYOGA! DONT GO! DONT LEAVE ME ALONE! PLEASE! IM SCARED!" She pleaded.
"Im not leaving you Ucchan. Im right here." His voice whisperd sweetly.
"Ryoga! please! Come back! you can;t just dissaper!" Ukyo pleaded.
"Ukyo, Calm down. Im right here beside you, Open your eyes." His voice whisperd. She did as he said. Her eyes slowly opend to Ryoga holding her hand in the hospital room.He had a smile across his face.
"Ucchan..Your okay.." He smiled. Kioko and Keitaro were in the room with her and Ryoga.
"She's alright." Kioko said smiling. Ukyo sat up and Ryoga continued to hold her hands.
"DOnt move so fast. You'll probably hurt yourself. Just Lie down and rest okay?" Ryoga said gently nudging her back down. Her head lie on the pillow and Ryoga grinned.
"I'll be right back Ucchan." Ryoga said. "Im gonna go get you some water." and he left, Keitaro followed to be sure he didnt get lost.
"Ryoga really likes you Ukyo." Kioko said sitting where Ryoga was.
"How do you know?" Ukyo asked.
"He cried alot while you were in surgery. He kept saying he wanted you to be okay. He called you Ucchan over and over again." Kioko told her. "When he heard he could see you, he dashed in here like lightning. We heard you cry out that you didnt want him to go. You like him too."
Ukyo said nothing. Kioko stood back up as Ryoga and Keitaro enterd the room again. Ukyo said nothing. Ryoga handed her the water, she sat up and drank it. He smiled as he sat back down beside her.
The sun was setting and Ukyo still had Ryoga beside her. The sun set at about 7:00 that night. Kioko and Keitaro thanked them again and went into the waiting room and Kioko fell asleep at 10:00 that night. As did Keitaro.
Ukyo and Ryoga were still awake.Ryoga still clutched onto Ukyo's hands.She just lie on the bed, Her head turned away from him.
"Ukyo, You had me terrified" He said all of a sudden, Ukyo grinned.
"Ryoga..Thank you." Ukyo said turning her head to him.
"What for..?" Ryoga asked.
"Your so stupid." Ukyo said grinning. "Ryoga Suger. You helped me out."
"I couldnt leave you when you were on teh bringk of death. Ucchan, I wouldnt leave you." He said clutching onto her hands harder.
"Ryoga, You sure are one of a kind." She said smiling.He smiled too.
"Oh my god Ucchan. You just can't see it can you?" He asked,
"What?" She asked. He brought her wrist to her eye level. It was a silver bracelette with a sapphire stone dangling on the end of it.
"I got it for you from the town jewlery maker. He said to give it to you." Ryoga said smiling.
"Your a sweety suger." Ukyo smiled. He smiled back.
"Right now Ucchan, I just feel happy. I would have missed you a whole lot if you hadnt made it," Ryoga said smiling at her. She smiled too.
"Heh. Ryoga. Im sorry I was so mean to you about the note." She said to him.
"Dont read to much into it." Ryoga said grinning. He hugged her, so tightly she almost couldnt breath. She grinned at him as she turned red. She began coffing. Not just normal coffing. She started coffing up some blood. Ryoga pushed that button beside the bed that called a nurse while using a bandanna to cover Ukyo's mouth. He stroked her back as they awaited a nurse. One did come in eventually and got a docter to help. Ryoga didnt leave Ukyo. Alothough he did have a ruined bandanna but he didnt care.
Ukyo continued to coff up small spatters of blood. Ryoga still was beside her while the docters tried to fix the problem.Ryoga's grip on Ukyo was tight,
"Dont worry Mr. Hibiki. Ukyo will be fine. This will happen a few times. She'll stop. Her body is still ajusting to the treatment for the other wounds. This is only a side effect. It'll end in a couple of days." The docter told him.Ryoga understood. The docters left and Ukyo continued to coff up blood. Ryoga continued to sheld her mouth and he saw small tears fall out of Ukyo's eyes. He wiped them away.
"Dont worry Ucchan. You'll be okay." Ryoga cooed.After about an hour she stopped. Ryoga lied her down on her hospital bed and a nurse came in.
"She'll have to use a new room, We'll need to clean up this one. Her room is down the hall in room 224." The nurse said and Ryoga nodded. He picked Ukyo up off the bed and walked down the hall and the nurse showed him were room 224 is. He walked in and lied Ukyo on the bed. He stroked her hair long after she had fallen asleep.
Morning rose and when Kioko and Keitaro went into Ukyo's old room she wasnt there. They thought she had died during the night.
"She's in room 224." The nurse told them and they went there. They walked in to find Ryoga still sitting beside her, but he had fallen asleep. Kioko woke him up and Ukyo awoke later. They left the hospital with Ryoga walking beside Ukyo to be sure she was alright.
"There has to be a way to thank you two." Kioko said and Ryoga shook his head.
"The reward would be nice." Ukyo said smiling.
