Hey everyone! Sorry for the LONG wait! I reread my fanfic so far and when I read it it sucked, so I'm going to try to make this chapter better. Thanks for everyone who replied! Constructive critisism (Sorry if I spelled it wrong) is always accepted, but please, only CONSTRUCTIVE critisism. Thanks to all who have read!
Izumi sighed and sat up in the bed at the hospital. It didn't make sense to her. Why would Kouji come and apologize? Did Takuya and Kouichi make him? Or was it from his own free will? And what could have gotten into Kouji to make him so mad? Thinking of the accident she looked at her cast. Did it have to do with something that happened in his past? Or was it her? She groaned and laid back down. All these questions were giving her a headache. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Kouji walked ahead of Kouichi and Takuya as they made their way for Takuya's house. He could hear Takuya and Kouichi talking behind him; of what they were speaking about, he did not care. Probably about him. He knew that after they dropped off Takuya at his house Kouichi would round up on him. But then again, what had gotten into him? Why had he gone back to apologize? Was it the thought of what Kouichi and Takuya would do if he didn't? Or pure guilt?
They walked up onto Takuya's porch. As he walked toward his home, Takuya turned around and asked,"So are we going to go and get Izumi from the hospital tomorrow?"
"Sure,"Kouichi asked, then turned to look at his twin,"What do you think, Kouji?"
"I don't care,"he replied solemnly, not turning to face his brother.
Kouichi raised his eyebrows at Takuya and said, "We'll go."
"Alright,"he said,"Well, see you tomorrow then." With that he turned to go inside.
"Bye,"the other two said and turned tohead to their home.
Breaking the silence, Kouichi asked his brother,"So what made you apologize to Izumi?"
"I don't know,"Kouji said, turning his head away,"Guilt, I guess. Or the fact that I knew you and Takuya would lecture me if I didn't."
"Hmm,"his brother stated,"Well, it's good that you did."
"Whatever,"he said and turned up the driveway to his current home.
Kouichi just smiled and entered, following his brother.
In the morning, Izumi woke up just as the doctor came in.
"Well, Miss Orimoto, you're free to go."he said with a smile,"Please come back in two weeks so we can check out how you are doing."
"Thank you, Doctor,"she said and got up to change into her regular clothes.
The doctor left the room and, with some difficulty, Izumi changed and was ready to leave.
As she walked into the main lobby of the hospital, she saw three familiar faces. 'Kouichi, Takuya? And, oh, it's Kouji. Why're they here?'she thought.
"Izumi!"she heard as the two boys came to greet her. She spotted Kouji not too far behind.
"How do you feel?"she heard Takuya ask with concern.
"Fine, fine,"she assured them, "Let's go, I'm tired of this place!
"Why don't we go grab something to eat?"Kouichi asked as they left,"I've heard that hospital food isn't that great."
"Okay!"Izumi agreed with a smiled,"And you're right, it's terrible!"
Kouichi glanced back at his brother who looked like he just didn't care what was going on,"Is that okay with you Kouji?"he asked
"Oh sure, whatever,"he replied.
"Kouji's here too?"Izumi asked and turned around, forgetting that he was there.
"No, I'm just a figment of light walking behind the three of you,"he said,"Of course I'm here."
"Well excuse me,"Izumi stopped walking and faced the raven haired boy,"I just asked a question and I get a speech. Not only that but someone has problems and decides to take it out on me. Need I remind us all of what happened last time?" she raised her arm concealed in a cast.
Kouji just glared at her. "Well, we really should get moving, I'm getting hungry,"Takuya said.
"Me too, let's go!"Kouichi said, trying to be cheerful.
Izumi sighed,"Yeah, I guess."
'Why is he like this? I mean, I never did anything. Oh, but I'm not going to start questioning myself again,'Izumi thought to herself.
They found a place to sit at the fast food restaurant nearby. Takuya and Kouichi made sure Kouji wasn't next to Izumi. As they all decided what to eat, Izumi said,"Thanks you guys."
"For what?"Takuya asked.
"For coming to the hospital and greeting me and bringing me here. That was really nice,"she said with a smile.
"No problem,"Takuya and Kouichi replied, with a "whatever"from Kouji.
Izumi just sighed,'he's hopeless. But I know he has a good side somewhere in there. Not to mention he's really good looking. What? Oh, but I know it's the truth. Whether I like it or not, that's what I think of him.'
They all finished and left the restaurant.
"What should we do now?"Izumi asked, stretching her arms,as much as her cast would allow.
"A walk in the park? The arcade..."Takuya asked.
"The park sounds good,"Izumi said.
