Chapter Seven
((Kyo's POV))
Hands on the mirror
can't get much clearer.
Can't make this all go away.
Now that you're bleeding, you
stare at the ceiling. Watch as it
all fades away.
People in white coats surrounded me. They wouldn't leave. They were taking up my breathing room and all I could do was lay there taking deep breathes. Attempting to keep the last of my life. My vision was blurry and I could only hear muffled noises from the people's conversation. They said something about a bus and a slim chance of living. I was confused now. The blurry images of the people shook their heads and finally moved away. They left the room mumbling something that sounded like,"We must inform his family of his condition.." Who's condition? Mine? Wait, a slim chance of living! I tried to sit up, only to feel a sharp pain in my back. I tried to kick the covers off, only to find that my legs weren't working. I screamed, but the only noise I was able to make was a choked wimper.
From what you do.
Because of you. You know
I can't be there. Each time that
you call I swore not to come, but
I'm here after all.
((Haru's POV))
I just noticed that Momiji and Hatori were sitting next to me. In all my worry, I guess I never relised that Momiji had come to the hospital with us and Hatori hadn't left. A doctor left Kyo's room and walked toward us. I held my breath. He whispered something to Hatori, and I watched the dragon's face change from his usual unemotional expression to a look of worry and pity. After the doctor walked away, I turned to Hatori and asked,"What'd he say!" He didn't answer. I stood and said a little louder than I should've,"Damnit Hatori! What the Hell did he say!" He turned to me and sighed. "Kyo's in bad condition... He has a 40 percent chance of living but..." He paused. "But even if he does live, it'll be a very long time until he'll be able to walk again.." I stared at him in disbelief. "How long!" I asked. He stared at the floor. "At least two years.." He sighed again. "Not very long though, considering that he got hit by a bus."
I know by the look that I see
in your eye. I won't stand around
and I won't watch you die. From what
you do.. Because of you.
The doctors told us that we could visit again. I felt sick as I entered the room. I didn't want to see Kyo like this, but I had to.. For him. He was still laying on the bed, but this time, his eyes were wide open. "Am I gonna die?" He asked as we walked toward him. "You're too stubborn." Momiji stated simply. This didn't seem like the time to joke around, but at least the rabbit made Kyo smile. Right then, I knew Kyo would survive. I also knew that he wouldn't take to not walking well, but he'd still survive.. And I'd help him through it all. It was my fault, after all. The reasons kept piling up. I could've asked Hatori to give him a ride home. Or I could've given him a flashlight. I could've even snuck him in. Anything to prevent this from happening.
What you do, what you do.
What's become of you? What
you do, what you do. What's become of..
Now that you did this, you ask for forgiveness.
Doctor, could you be my priest? You say you're
mistaken, but look what you've taken.
We were alone now. Momiji had talked Hatori into leaving us. "I'm sorry." I whispered. He stared at me. "What'd you do?" He asked - his crimson eyes mirroring confusion. I hung my head. "It's all my faut - you getting hit by that bus -" He interupted me. "I got hit by a bus! So that's what that bright light was!" He thought for a moment. "It's not your fault.. Stop blaming yourself." He smiled at me. "I knew I should've looked both way before crossing the street.." We both let out a small laugh. He could sound so corny when he wanted to. It wasn't my fault? He didn't blame me? I felt five million pounds of guilt lift off my shoulders. I smiled a full smile. Now I could help Kyo heal without feeling so guilty about everything. "So.. What's gonna happen to me?" He asked. I sat there without speaking. "Well?" I guessed that we couldn't keep secrets forever. "You're not going to be able to walk for awhile." I stated. His mouth hung open. We sat in silence. Me staring at the floor. Him staring out the window into the distance where the sun was just beginning to rise.
You laugh as you lie through
your teeth. From what you do.
Because of you. You know I can't
be there. Each time that you call,
I swore not to come, but I'm here
after all.
"How long?" He asked. "Huh?" I didn't understand the question. "How long - will I not be able to walk?" I stared at the floor for a little bit longer before turning to face him. "About two years." I answered. "Shit." He whispered under his breath. "Huh?" I asked again. He stared at me and groaned. "Two years wasted.. That I could've beaten Yuki in.." I began to laugh. He glared. "What?" He pouted. "Is that all you think about - beating Yuki?" I asked, still laughing. "No.." He answered. "I also think of you a lot, now.." I felt my face heat up as I stopped laughing. I also noticed the light blush covering his cheeks.
I know by the look that I see
in you eye. I won't stand around
and I won't watch you die. From
what you do. Because of you. What
you do, what you do. What's become
of you? What you do, what you do.
What's become of..? From what you do.
"You could always run him over with a wheelchair.." I stated as we listed the possible ways for him to beat Yuki without being able to walk. "Or I could hit him with a bus and we could be evenly matched." He listed. We laughed. "I like you're idea better though." He added. "I'd like to see the look on his face!" It was a lot of fun. Just sitting there with him. Most people thought that he was rude and hurtful. I had to admit, he had his rude times, but that was only an act. Only a select few knew the real Kyo. The Kyo that had a great sence of humor, that could smile even after getting hit by a bus. The Kyo that acted like he didn't mind when his friends and most of his family didn't show up at the hospital to help him.
Hands on the mirror can't get much cleaner.
Now that you're bleeding, you stare at the ceiling.
And watch as it all fades away. From what you do,
because of you. You know I can't be there each time
that you call. I swore not to come, but I'm here after all.
Both of our stomachs growled loudly. "I guess it's breakfast time." Momiji laughed as he entered the room. He held a large tray covered with Kyo's breakfast. "A nurse asked me to bring this in for you." He stated. "Thanks." Kyo mumbled as he took the tray. The rabbit only nodded and left. Probably to get his own breakfast. "You want some?" Kyo asked. I stared at him. He needed to eat. I wasn't going to make him starve. "There's too much for just me." He stated. "Thank you." I answered as I picked up a piece of toast and began eating. I noticed that the first thing he went for was the milk. I grinned at how cat - like he really was.
I know by the look that I see in your
eye. I won't stand arounf and I won't
watch you die. From what you do,
because of you. What you do, because
of you. What's become of you? What you
do, because of you.
After the lst of the food was eaten, I watched Kyo's eyes droop as he faught aginst the sleep that called him. "Get some rest." I whispered as I felt myself growing tired. Get some rest. The line repeated in my head. I just hoped that this sleep wouldn't be Kyo's last. For the doctor had said.. That he had a 40 percent of surviving. "Get some rest.." I heard myself say again. "But just remember to wake up."
What's become of you?..
