Title: College Life

By: ChibiAzn3

Summary: The Shaman Fight was over. Asakura Yoh is now the Shaman King. Now Yoh can be the laid back lazy guy he's always wanted. No more worries, right? WRONG! Exams are coming, graduation stuff begins, and, of course, the Senior Prom…YxA RxP HxT HAxOC LxJ (I suck summaries so pleaz R&R!)

Will He Live?

It was three whole long, dreadful hours before anything came up. The entire time, Hao and Anna stayed there. Horo Horo, Ren, and Lyserg had gone back to the school in case anything came up or needed to be explained. Then…

Dr. Bloor pushed opened the surgery room door looking completely tired and flustered. Anna immediately shot up, but did not speak. Hao, who had fallen asleep, felt Anna's sudden movement and quietly rose up next to her. He did not speak either.

It was a long two minutes before anyone dared open their mouths to talk of the situation. Bad sign. Usually, if doctors have good news, they would be skipping out happily like a little bunny and jabbering about long ol' medical terms, bills, and tasks. But if they were silent as stone…

That is not good.

Anna finally found the courage to open her mouth. But what she intended on asking did not come out of her mouth. What did come out, however, seemed somewhat like a cross between a whimper and a squeak.

So instead, Dr. Bloor closed his baggy eyes and opened his mouth. His expression was grave.

"Ms. Kyoyama,"

"Yes?" Anna was shaking all over. She was sweating madly, and her voice was so quivery that you might need a translator to understand what she is talking about.

"I'm sorry to report that-"

"NO!" Anna shouted all of a sudden. Her eyes widening in fear. "Th-This isn't HAPPENING!" She wouldn't believe it. Yoh. Her Yoh. The strong Shaman King Yoh. No. "I-I d-don't want to hear it!" Then she ran out the door crying.

Dr. Bloor sighed.

This time, it was Hao who opened his mouth. "Wh-What of the surgery on my-Ototo?"

"The surgery was successful,-"

Hao sighed with relief.

"But,"

Hao's expression darkened. If there was one word he either hated or loved, it was 'but'. It was this word that always turned the situation around. He looked at the doctor.

"But?"

"But the surgery has overwhelmed the patient. I'm afraid he'll be in a very bad condition for at least three months, if not more. Unless a miracle happens…"

Hao gaped. "Wh-What k-kind of, 'bad' condition, doctor?"

Dr. Bloor sighed and continued. "It means bad. He'll be needing help left and right. For the first week, he'll have to stay in bed all day. The second week he'll be able to walk around, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything major physically. And he will have problems constantly for the rest of his life."

Hao stared.

"I know the last three months of school is majorly important to students. And, I do know there are no retests for good universities after this period of time…"

Hao did not want to believe it. "But, taking a test is not, physical…"

"Yes," Dr. Bloor continued with his weary voice, "But he is in no condition to take tests. Nor will he be in condition to after the first week. He will be able to do a little classwork here and there, but, that's basically it…"

"Is- Is there…any other way around this?"

"There is…but very few have done it."

"So…?"

"It is only if the patient is willing to work. Hard."

Hao relaxed. Yoh might be lazy, but he's still determined.

"But sometimes, the working might overwhelm the patient, and the situation could get worse…"

Hao slumped down into his chair and sighed.

"I suggest you not push your Ototo, Mr. Asakura. I can tell he is a very determined boy. He kept on insisting that I let his fiancé come and visit him."

Hao made no reply.

"I'm sorry your brother's future is ruined due to this fatal accident. But he is alive and well, at least, for now…"

Hao remained silent.

"You…You said something about-about problems occurring for the rest of his life?"

"Yes, yes I did. You see, the artery blockage was quite major. We managed to reestablish a stable connection, but it was so major that it could not be completely gotten rid of. He will have trouble breathing once in a while. Sometimes light, and sometimes…" He bit his lip. "Severe…"

Hao frowned.

The doctor continued. "If you take great care of your Ototo, chances are he will live." The doctor sighed. "Perhaps the Education Committee will take this incident into thought and maybe let him retest for a university after he is better. Although chances are slim…"

Hao blinked. "Well, at least Yoh is safe…for now…" He closed his eyes. "Is there any way he might be able to take the test?"

"He can try, if you're willing to risk his health…" He raised one eyebrow. "Most university tests are, well, hard. To pass a test like that, and I mark you, this is not easy, he would need to put all his effort and time on studying and stuff like that. But of course, his mind is very weak at the moment, seeing as there was major damage caused to the head. Although that was just a minor injury compared to the artery blockage…"

Hao swallowed. How was he going to tell Anna? Sure Anna would be extremely relieved that Yoh was not dead, but, how would she react when she finds out that he might not be able to get a decent job in the future? What impact would this bring to the Asakura Clan? "At least Yoh's Shaman King…" Hao thought.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Yoh…WHY?" Anna thought as she sat crying outside the Funbari Hospital. "I said I loved you…why would you leave me after THIS!" Anna sobbed. Who was she kidding? She could never be mad at Yoh.

"This is all my fault…" she whispered. How? Why? These thoughts were rushing through her head. Memories of her and Yoh spread though her mind like wildfire. Her heart only broke more with each memory fading away. Her pushing Yoh so hard to become Shaman King. His lazy attitude. Her being so harsh. His stupidity. And of course, that grin of his.

"When I told you I can't live without you, Yoh, I meant it." She whispered quietly.

Then, she took out a knife out of her bag.

"I'm sorry Yoh…It hurts me even more to live without you…" she closed her eyes with a tear trickling down her cold pale cheek.

There was a scream. And then…blackness took over.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
