Wake Not the Nightmare – Chapter 8: Hiding the Truth Pt. 1
The doctors took Anna into emerge as soon as Yoh told them the story,
Yoh was stuck waiting in the waiting room.
"Listen Yoh," said Ren. "Anna with be fine." He put a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"I hope so," said Yoh.
"It's getting late," said Horo Horo.
"Wait," said Yoh. "How did you guys find us?
"Well," began Horo Horo. "We all went to your house and you weren't there. Then as we were leaving…"
"Bason sensed something had happen to you and Anna," continued Ren. "And he sensed you guys were at the castle. We decided to go in one by one that way we could back each other u incase we got into trouble."
"Thanks a lot you guys," smiled Yoh.
"No problem," said Ryu. "Now if you don't mind we gotta be hitting the open road."
"Bye," the three boys said.
"Bye," waved Yoh.
As soon as they were out of sight Yoh thought, 'I'd better check on Anna.' Yoh went to the front desk. "Excuse me," he asked the nurse at the front desk. "Um, is there any news on Anna Kyouyama?"
The nurse looked up at him, and gave him a nasty look. Then looked down and went back out her business.
Yoh looked at her strangely. He thought she was in a bad mood because she had to work a night shift.
"Um," started Yoh, "is there any news on Anna Kyouyama?"
"Listen kid," she said as she blew a bubble with the gum in her mouth, "I'm not authorized to give out that information," she said harshly, then looked away.
Yoh was being to get irritated. "She's my fiancée!" he blurted out. "I demand to know how she's doing!"
The nurse looked up. "You have a fiancée? You're so young."
"We were engaged at a young age," said Yoh, growing more irritated by the minute. He wanted to see Anna, now.
"Engaged or not kid, I can't tell you anything," the nurse smirked. "Now go home kid."
"No," stated Yoh. "Anna's dying and I must see her!"
"Listen kid," said the nurse getting out of her chair, "I don't care! Now go home, before I have the security guards take you out personally."
"Stacy!" said a doctor as he arrived.
Yoh stared at the doctor, shocked.
"Now, Stacy," said the doctor, "I know you're mad that you had to cancel your date with Rob because you had to switch your dayshift with Nia's nightshift, but that doesn't make it right for you to bite our visitors' heads off."
"I know," said Stacy. "I'm sorry," she muttered to Yoh and went back to work.
"Uh, that's okay?" stuttered Yoh.
"Sorry young sir," said the doctor.
"Oh, that's ok," smiled Yoh.
"Excuse me, Stacy," said the doctor as he turned to her. "Could you see if you can find a 'Yoh' in the building. One of my patients keeps muttering his name in her sleep."
Yoh's ears perked up as he heard his name. He turned and faced the doctor. "My name is Yoh," he said. "This patient, she wouldn't happen to be Anna Kyouyama?"
'Yes," said the doctor. "You must be the boy she's been wanting to see."
'"Yes," said Yoh. "I'm her fiancé."
"Fiancé?" questioned the doctor.
"Arranged marriage," whispered the nurse to the doctor.
"Oh," he said faintly.
Yoh nodded. "Tell me," he began, "how is Anna?"
"I'm really sorry to say this, but we don't have any results yet," said the doctor. "I'm sorry, but from what I've seen so far from her, it doesn't look like she's gonna make it." The doctor frowned.
"What!" gasped Yoh. "I have to see her!" He ran to her room.
"Whoa," said the doctor as he grabbed the boy's arm.
"What?" questioned Yoh. "I need to see Anna."
"I know, smiled the doctor. "But," he added, growing serious, "don't tell her that she, you know, might die. Otherwise she might have a relapse."
Yoh nodded and went to Anna's room.
Yoh slowly opened Anna's door and poked his head in.
"Oh Anna," Yoh whispered sadly as he looked at her.
Anna was hooked up to a heart monitor, an IV bag and had oxygen tubes up her nose to help her breathe easier. She also had a few cuts and scrapes visible on her body.
Yoh felt so bad. "I wasn't able to protect you," whispered Yoh as he walked in and shut the door quietly, "I broke a promise, I'm so sorry Anna." He put his head down.
As if hearing his voice Anna started to speak up. "Yoh," she called out helplessly.
"Anna?" said Yoh lifting his head. He signed, noting Anna was moving around in bed and talking in her sleep. He walked up towards her bed and heard her voice more clearly.
"Yoh," she called again. "I need you. Where did you go?" Anna was tossing and turning. "Please, please don't leave me," she begged.
"Anna," Yoh said. "I'll never leave you." He grabbed her hand. "Come on, Anna, calm down."
But Anna was only getting worse. She started calling out his name more often and begged him to save her.
"Oh," said Yoh, picking her up gently. "I'm right here." He kissed her forehead and hugged her tightly, not so tight that he would hurt her.
Anna started to relax in Yoh's embrace and eventually became still and quiet.
Yoh was happy she stopped and laid her back down gently.
Unaware to Yoh, as he sat himself up, he realized that Anna had grabbed his vest. Yoh smiled and looked at his beautiful fiancée. He couldn't believe he might lose her and it was his entire fault.
"Yoh," moaned Anna, releasing his battle outfit.
"Hey," Yoh smiled softly. "You awake?"
Anna winced in pain. She slowly opened her eyes to see Yoh with a loving smile on his face.
"How are you feeling?" he asked her.
"I've felt better," Anna replied. Yoh laughed. "I-uh, I want to thank you for saving me," said Anna recalling her memories.
"No problem," he said. "It's what I do, I'm your fiancé, and I'm s'pose to look after you." Guilt rose in Yoh's heart, he knew deep down inside he had failed to protect her.
There was a long silence.
"Yoh?" questioned Anna, "are you all right?" She looked up at him. He seemed to be off in his own world. Anna slowly pushed herself up to try and get Yoh's attention. While doing so, she felt herself getting weak and fell back.
Yoh, who was getting out of his daydream, saw Anna falling down on her pillow. With swift arms, he gently comforted the fall.
"Thanks," mumbled Anna.
"Anna," said Yoh rather loud. "You could have gotten hurt!"
"But Yoh," protested Anna. "You were off in space."
"That shouldn't matter to you," he blurted. "You could have died!"
"Yoh," said a hurt Anna, tears falling from her eyes.
Yoh noticed and felt stupid. He made her cry. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. "I just didn't want you to get hurt. Please don't cry."
Anna wiped her tears. "Then what's wrong?"
'Damn,' he thought, 'I can't tell her that she might die.'
"Well Yoh," came Anna's voice."
"Anna, I, uh, need to tell you that…"
"Yes?" she questioned.
"That…" stuttered Yoh.
TBC………
Sorry if it's really short. I hope it makes you happy thought. I think I should be able to sum this up in one more chapter which I am hoping I can get some ideas in place and have the chapter up in about a week, or at least by the end of the month. So give me some energy and encouragement to continue! (Smiles)
Now, I'm not so sure if I'm gonna continue Nighttime Horror mainly because I don't know what else to write or even why I wrote it in the first place, but if people give some ideas I might update. And I'm not so sure about Anzu Kidnapped mainly because I lost the last to chapters that I had in writing and can't really remember what was suppose to happen. Silly me, well if I ever have the right attitude, iunno, feeling about updating it, I will, maybe.
But that's just my thoughts on the two stories. If you have other opinions and want me to continue them, then I'll try my best to do so.
Now here is your preview of Wake Not the Nightmare – Chapter 9: Hiding the Truth Pt. 2
-Knock. Knock. Knock. "May I come in?" asked the doctor.
'Phew!' Yoh mentally sighed.
Anna looked annoyed, she was about to find out what was bothering Yoh.
"Come in," she said.
-"What's the matter doc?" asked Yoh.
"We, uh, got Anna's results back," he said.
"And?" stressed Yoh, raising an eyebrow.
-"I'm dying?" said Anna shocked…
-"That's good," she said, playing along.
"Hmm," said Yoh trying to force a smile. Anna noticed it.
There was another long pause.
"Yoh," said Anna breaking the silence.
-"I'm-I'm dying," sobbed Anna.
"No-no you're not!" said Yoh.
-"Yoh?" said Anna softly, slowly opening her eyes.
"Yeah?"
"You nearly killed me with your hug," said Anna.
-"He's here," she said barely above a whisper.
"Who?' questioned Yoh.
"Him," Anna pointed at the door.
-"Wait!" shouted Yoh.
"What?" asked Death impatiently.
"We never even had a first kiss," said Yoh.
"What's your point?" questioned Death.
-"Come on, break it up, break it up," said Death using the end of his sickle to split the two apart. "I said I'd give you a minute or two, not forever."
-"You'd die just to be with her?" question Death.
Yoh nodded.
"You love her that much?"
Yoh nodded again.
"Very well," said Death…
-Little did the happy and reunited couple know, that Death may just be paying another visit to them shortly. For in the shadows the winds blew, moving a ghostly silk dress into the light. Someone was watching, and they decided that now is the right time to surprise the couple. But thought that she should wait a few minutes, for them to enjoy themselves, for when she bore the news on them, their lives will be changed forever.
