Chapter 1: Waiting
Tohru sat in the waiting room, her blood running hot in her veins, as the tension mounted. They had arrived earlier that morning, pulling into the parking lot as the ambulances speed by into the lot, unloading the injuried Sohmas. The driver had hit the car head on, crushing the exterior, and badly injurying them. Hatori stood talking with the suregon, his brow wrinkled with concern for his family. "They might not make it." the suregon whispered, a sadden look upon his face. Hatoris demeador changed as the suregon explained the condition. Waving the suregon off, Hatori seated himself in the waiting room with Tohru. She turned her head toward the family doctor, worry glimsping through her large brown eyes. "Will they be alright Hatori?" Tohru asked, hesitatly. The doctor looked at her, his burdens of caring for the family weighing heavily on him. " I dont know, Honda-kun."said Hatori, his carefully guarded emotions gently settling on his face.
As the sun rose from the horizon, the suregon walked up to them, his eyes red with exhaustion. Hatori stood, mentally steeling himself for the news. "Hatsuharu is going to make it."stated the suregon, pulling his mask of his face. "And Yuki?" questioned Hatori,the air thick with worry. The suregon sighed heavily, running his fingers through his greying hair. "Hes stable, right now but, we think that hes in a coma, and could be for a very long time."said the suregon, looking Hatori straight in the eye. Hatori let his head drop, his eyes clouded with emotion. Tohrus own eyes watered, as she heard the news. "Is there any hope that he will wake up?"asked Hatori, cauiously. "Not that we can see right now, but, were still running some tests."explained the suregon.
"We better call Ayame."said Hatori, as he and Tohru sat silently in the waiting room. Tohru nodded, stand with Hatori as he slowly walked towards the payphone. "Hello, Ayame, its me, Hatori."said Hatori, slowly." Listen Ayame, Yuki has been in an accident." After giving the distraught Ayame directions to the hospital, they sat down again."Hatori-san, do you think Yuki-kun is going to be okay?"asked Tohru, halting at every word. Hatori looked at her, his mind forming the needed words. "I dont know, Honda-kun, I dont know." Hatori simply stated, looking at the young teen. Tohru let a sad tired sigh escape her lips as they waited for Ayame to come.
