Disclaimer:Let me double check...Nah, I still don't own any part of it! (Except for the fun of writing fan-fiction and getting kick-ass reviews...snigger...)

Author's note: Okay. I know now that an "ultravenus" is an intravenus. Thank you to Ashcat for the hospital information! I feel extra stupid now. But that's not a bad thing-I now know stuff! But (I'm sorry) I am, at the risk of still sounding dumb, writing the hospital stuff as I am. Maybe someday in the future I will rewrite this story, but I'm too lazy right now.

If you want to see the wonderful piece of work from which I elicited my motivation for this story from, make sure you check out QuackSays the Duck's Together poem!

I know this chapter is short, but its meant to be. By the way, like the rest of the story has kind of been from Eiri' perspective, this one is going to sort of be from Shuichi's! (I will put this info at the top of the chapters if you get confused)Live, Dammit!

I keep forgetting to say this, but...I don't like that note I wrote on Shuichi's behalf...It was so, I don't know! Weird! I feel embarrased. (Sits in corner.)

Pairings:Since this is pretty much all a tragedy story, I don't think there will be any. Also I'm flaky towards that sort of thing. So-sorry!If you consider sort of a love connection a pairing, then it's Yuki X Shuichi.

You Give Me the Courage to Die - Chapter 9 - Life

Shuichi suddenly awoke. He felt like he had slept forever, and that he was the only person left alive. Everything was black; he felt like the world had been destroyed.

Things were coming back very slowly to the young man. He realized the reason for his black universe was the lack of strength he had to open his eyes. He found that he could not move any part of his body. He felt a little jab of pain, and passed out again.

By the way, all of this is going on during the transfusion thing part.

I should be updating at a chapter per day rate...but if need be!

Thank You's(for chapt.8):

Aacire: Haha, I don't think I'm going to take the road of Shuichi dying again, but you just never know...I'd like to see that...(heh heh...) I feel so weird bringing a wedding in. I wonder if I should've done thaaat...

Mustang123:Thanks! (Blushes, holding back...bounces off walls!) Its sooo cool being told that my story is awesome!

Flame-Chan:Ah, thanks. It's cool being told by others your age you story is cool too...

Ashcat:Thank you so much for that info...I'm educated now...thank you also for the support on lemon! You are so right! There are enough out there for people to read!

Quack Says the Duck:This is weird...you are starting to feel like an old friend...Not that that's bad. Thanks for saying my story doesn't suck. It just feels that way...You know, you get this burst of inspiration and then...Its sorta hard!

Hikari-Chan:Cute?...Thank you for saying its cool!

Xunxin:Yes Shu-chan LIVES! (I never thought I'd be happy, I never really liked him...but after re-reading the manga lots, you just sort of start to appreciate him SO much more!) Oh,and by the way, that cake was DELICIOUS.

GravityNeko: A die-hard kinda fan!(Cooooool.) Well, here's the answer: No. I don't think Yuki would actually say that. Ever. :s

You know whaaat? The thank-you's are longer than the chapter! (I don't think I should dooo that again...)
