Chapter 6: Placing A Prayer On My Lips
Tohru sat quietly in the chair, her large brown eyes, searching intently for a formilar face. Kyo came up behind her, seating himself on the seat beside her. " Hey," said Kyo startling the young girl," do you want something to drink?" Tohru shook her head, her face pale. Kyo let himself relaxe, leanning against the armrest. " They're asking Haru what happened, do you want to find out ?"asked Kyo, looking at Tohru's back. Tohru nodded, standing to her feet. They slowly walked to Haru's room, their steps clicking loudly on the hard hospital floor.
Haru sat up in his bed, a cola on his tray, his arm stretched outward. " We knew you would come back." said Haru, using his other hand to brush back his multi-colored hair. Tohru nodded, her eyes falling on the tray to avoid his eyes. " Are you ready for the story?"asked Haru, his voice almost sounding normal. Tohru nodded, sitting on the available chair. Hatori, Shigure, and Ayame leaned against the walls, their face upturned, Kyo sat on his bed, waiting.
Haru took a deep breath, leaning back against the pillows. " Yuki was upset about something that, so we talked about it while walked to the park, then it began getting dark so he called a friend of his to pick us up, as we were driving home, a car swerved into the one we were in, crashing to front end of the car, Yuki was sitting in the front passenger seat, he and his friend were hit headon." explained Haru, concluding the story.
Tohru looked at Hatori, Shigure, and Ayame, as she quietly sat in her chair. 'Is there any hope left, for Yuki?' Thought Tohru, silent tears falling down her cheeks. Standing to leave, Tohru, slowly looked behind herself,at the distraught family. " My I go see him ?"asked Tohru, allowing her tears to fall. Hatori looked up, his face emotionless as the moon, and nodded his head. Ayame lead her to his brother's room, a few doors from Haru's. Tohru looked at her friend, the bandages on his face, hands and arms obstructing his face from full veiw. His neck was in a neckbrace, his back was in a brace also, he was hooked up to a respirator, and a moniter.
Tohru quietly walked into the room, her feet slowly approaching the bed, her tears subsided. " Hey, Yuki." said Tohru, stopping at the foot of his bed. She tried to hold back her tears, but, the pain of seeing him like this was unbearable. Her tears slid down her smoothe cheeks like water, as she walked toward his arm, falling at his side.
" I can't take it Yuki-kun," said Tohru, her voice muffled by the sheets that she buried her head into," I need you, I need you, Yuki-kun."
Ayame silently watched, his hands shaking. ' He might not survive the night.' Thought Ayame, tears falling from his golden eyes. Quickly walking back to Haru's room, Ayame just sat there, tears streaming down his face.
Shigure and Hatori, looked at their friend, sadness possessing their own eyes. " It aleast he won't be in pain, Ayame." said Hatori, sitting next to his friend. Ayame shook his head. " No, but she will be." said Ayame, wiping his tears with his long belled sleeve. Shigure nodded, pulling Ayame into an embrace.
" You don't have to listen to him, Aaya, you can make the decision, besides it's still to early for that." said Shigure, slowly rocking his friend in his arms.
Ayame hugged his cousin, his tears returning to his eyes. " Thanks Gure-san." Ayame whispered, burying his head into Shigure's chest.
Tohru cried to herself on Yuki's hospital bed, her tears dampening the surrounding area."Please, wake up, Yuki-kun, I need you, we all need you." Tohru silently prayed, resting her heavy head on Yuki's chest, watching him breath, watching him inhale and exhale, all the while tears falling from her eyes.
