Chapter 4- Blood is thicker than Water
"I just hope that my blood type will match" said Cagalli suddenly on their way to meet up with the nurse.
"Why would you say that, Cagalli? You and Kira are siblings, how could you not be a match" questioned Lacus shocked to hear Cagalli say that.
"Have you not ever why we both have different last names?" Cagalli looked sadly at Lacus.
"Well… yes but…Lacus trailed off
"My mum married Dad and are parents to Kira but Dad is not my biological father. My Mum remarried when I was just 3months old to Dad. My own father left my mum while she was still in pregnancy stage. Dad treats me like his own flesh and blood and love both Kira and me equally. No one ever suspected that we are step siblings as my relationship with Kira is so close." Cagalli told her story sadly.
"Now is not the time to think negatively about this, let's just hope it'll match. You both are your Mum's children after all" Lacus tried to be positive.
"I'll take a blood sample first to see if it is a match" said the nurse when they reach her.
"Now follow me" the nurse told Cagalli.
"Ah...this is good news, it's a positive match" cried the nurse when she saw the results of the test.
"I shall now draw blood for the transfusion Ms Antha. Please lay down on the bed there" the nurse instructed.
Cagalli did as she was told. She let out a breath of relieve.
"My blood matches Kira's. Kira will be alright with the transfusion" she thought.
These thoughts put her at ease and prove her relationship with Kira as siblings. Cagalli always felt like an outsider in her family, like she doesn't belong with the Yamato's. She was a Antha and was like a flaw in a otherwise perfect diamond. Although Dad and Kira never cared about her history and the fact that she is the child of her mother with another man, she still felt like a intruder in their family outings watching her Mum ,Dad and Kira happily together.
Kira treated her with respect and loved her just like any brother would. He was a year younger but people always thought that they were twins. They looked very much like each other except for hair and eye color and the fact that Cagalli was a girl and Kira a boy. But there were many people who had mistaken her for a boy, that always manage to raise her temper. Now she felt relieved that she does indeed have strong connections with Kira; through blood bond.
5 hours later
Finally Kira came out of the operation room. Lacus and Cagalli rushes to his side and saw him heavily bandaged, IV's stuck to his arms and a breathing mask on his face.
"Doctor is he going to be alright" asked Lacus.
"We've managed to get the metal out of his shoulder, it will recover with no permanent damage to his arm functions but scars are unavoidable. However he is still not out of danger yet"
"Why is that? I thought you said he'll recover." said Cagalli confused.
"There is a fracture in his skull and a blood clot in his cerebrum. The clot may dissolve on its own in 2 days, 2 months, 2 years, nobody really knows. I'm afraid he'll be in a coma until that clot clears up."
"There must be something you can do doctor. Couldn't you use laser or something to clear up that clot?"
"I'm afraid not. If that option could work, we would have already done it. It's too dangerous to do it in that section of the brain. Any small mistake and he'll be a vegetable."
"NO...this can't be happening" scream Lacus and then she fainted.
The news had been too hard on her. She couldn't take it or accept that she fainted.
"Nurse please tend to the miss"
The two nurse helped Lacus into a room nearby and wheeled Kira to his room.
"Have you contacted your parents and Mr. Zala's parents of their sons' condition? I don't see them around?" asked the doctor Kinomoto.
"I've tried but can't get through. Athrun's parents are away on vacation in Europe while my parents are away on a business trip in Sweden. My parents are due back in 2 days while the Zala's in another 10 days."
"I see but you should keep on trying to inform them of Mr. Yamato and Mr. Zala's condition as soon as possible."
"Mr. Yamato is in ICU unit 333" he informed Cagalli. I think the nurses would have revived Ms Clyne by now. If you would excuse me I would like to go check on your brother now."
"Thank you doctor Kinomoto for your help."
"You're welcome Ms Antha; it is my responsibility to help patients."
Cagalli step into the room on her right to see how Lacus is doing when the doctor left. Lacus was just coming around and she reached for Cagalli when Cagalli was in range.
"Tell me this isn't happening, Cagalli. This is all just a nightmare, a horrible nightmare." wept Lacus.
"I wish I could Lacus. I know this is hard on you but you have to stay strong. Would you like to come along to see Athrun with me and find out how this happen?"
"Ya. Ok" she wiped away her tears.
Cagalli helped Lacus got up and they both journey to Athrun's room.
