Hitomi awoke on her bed and to a surprising smell of lavender and vanilla. Her hazy eyes recognized the familiar outlines of Amano, Yukari, Mamoru and Millerna. But there were three figures that she did not recognize. A man, about twenty, with silver spiked hair and a tattoo of a robot claw on his right arm was hovering above her, giving her some form of liquid which was undoubtedly making her headache lessen in size.
Another figure was that of someone she recognized, but couldn't remember his name. She knew his eyes though. Those deep, mahogany jewels that gleamed with joy for some reason. His raven colored hair and lightly tanned skin, and those arms. He looked like a sculpture of a rennisance man, except in real life. He was indeed beautiful. Shame Hitomi didn't know his name.
The third figure also belonged to a man, but Hitomi couldn't quiet recognize him. She knew his face, his brown layered hair, his lightly unshaved chin and jaw, and those entrancing eyes. She knew him, but didn't. Her head was lost to a swarm of dizziness and she finally managed to be able to feel her body again. Boy, did it hurt to be able to feel. She found herself short of breath, and clutching the throbbing part of the back of her head, where she felt a soft texture, almost a light cloth, covering the back of her head. Her eyes refocused and she removed her hand. Feeling a little better, she laid back down and smiled.
"The anesthetic is taking effect now. She'll be sober within the next three hours." The silver haired man said, a little relieved. Millerna grasped Hitomi's right hand while Yukari grasped her left. Yukari's deep brown eyes had a light rim of water around them and Hitomi was going to ask her what was wrong, but she found she couldn't speak. She tapped her voice and stared nervously around the room with wide green eyes. The boy whom had those gentle mahogany eyes spoke to her in a cooing voice. "Hitomi, you've been unconscious for a while. Your body hasn't fully managed to control itself yet, including your voice. For now, rest. You'll need it." He smiled, kissed the hand Millerna had let go of, and turned to leave. The silver haired man left with him.
Yukari let go of her hand only to wipe the water from her eyes and cheeks. She smiled at the brown haired man and he nodded. "Hope you get better, babe." He chuckled and left.
Hitomi gave Yukari a quizzical look, but she only put a sole finger on her thin lips. "I'll explain later." She whispered and reluctantly left. Millerna left with her after giving Hitomi a kiss on the cheek.
Amano was the only one left. He was sitting in a chair, reading a book. His slender legs where hanging over one edge of the chair as his head and neck dangled over the other side. His soft breathing made Hitomi look at him as a mother would her child. She managed to speak in a scratchy voice, "A…A…Amano?" she whispered rather horsely. Amano shot up from the comfy position he had made from himself and fell on the floor. Hitomi laughed slightly and sat up as far as the tubes in her arms would allow. "Are…you..k?" she managed to scratch out of her throat. Amano crawled back into his chair and looked at her through kind, but sleepy eyes.
"Morning, Sleeping Beauty." He teased. He reached his arms to the ceiling and yawned a long yawn that meant he was still asleep but conscious. Hitomi giggled to herself since it hurt too much to talk. Amano grinned and looked at his watch.
Amano's eyes widened and looked at her concerningly. "Will you be alright on your own?" he asked, almost reluctant.
Hitomi nodded, the confused look on her face. Amano grinned, reluctantly walked up to her, gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek then dashed out of the room. Hitomi raised her hand and felt the warm spot on her face where Amano's lips had touched her skin. She sighed, happily and fell back into the bed, and closed her heavy eyes.
