Hey I'm back with another chapter to Fate Fell Short This Time. This might be a little short, I'm running out of ideas so if anyone has any I'll be glad to use them and give you the credit.

Fate Fell Short This Time – Hospitalized

'Wake up, Anna, wake up,' a voice told her inside her head. 'You're in good hands now, you really are.'

"Huh?" moaned Anna shifting a bit.

'Yoh,' the voice said, 'wake up, then you can see Yoh, he saved you.'

"Yoh," moaned Anna. She shifted around in the hospital sheets before going still. "Yoh," she said as she slowly opened her eyes and took a look around. She looked at herself. She has bandages around her chest and left arm.

'It's quiet,' thought Anna. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a soft beeping noise. Anna looked to her right and saw Yoh in the bed sleeping. He was hooked up to a heart monitor and oxygen mask. He had bandages wrapped around chest, left arm, and head.

Anna felt tears swell up in her eyes. "Yoh," she whispered looking at his helpless body. Anna remembered the night before, or however long ago it was, who knows how long she'd been asleep. She remembered the events real clearly, Yoh had saved her. Yoh never gave up until she was safe and off that stone, how Hao and Faust tortured her, and Faust sent Eliza to hurt Yoh.

Anna struggled to get up. "Yoh," she said softly. She slowly and quietly pulled herself out of her bed, and pulled a chair beside Yoh.

She grabbed his hand and held it close to her heart. "Yoh," she kissed his hand gently, "it's all my fault you're like this. I'm so sorry," Anna began to cry.

"Shh," Yoh grinned as he wiped her tears. "Don't cry, Anna," he whispered as he opened his eyes, took off his mask, and sat up.

"Yoh," questioned Anna, as she wiped the rest of her tears.

"Anna, it's not your fault," said Yoh as he cupped her face and looked into her eyes.

Anna couldn't help but keep sobbing.

"Shh," smiled Yoh as he kissed her lips lightly.

"Yoh," she said softly as she placed her head on his shoulder.

"Ah," said Yoh with a laugh.

Anna sat up bolt right, "I'm sorry," she whispered.

Yoh laughed. "It's ok, Anna. It's all okay now. I promise."

Anna smiled at him.

Outside, unknown to the couple, Hao was watching from a far...

"That's what you think, little bro," he said slyly.

Back to Anna and Yoh...

Anna felt herself growing tired, Yoh felt it too.

"Anna," said Yoh, "why don't you go back into your bed?"

Anna nodded.

But before she could take another step, she felt herself collapse onto Yoh's bed.

"Anna?" he called. "Nurse!" Yoh called into the hall. "Uh, I need some help here, Nurse!?"

"What's the matter?" asked a nurse as she rushed in the room.

"It's Anna," said Yoh. "She just collapsed."

"Well," said the nurse as she gently guided Anna to her bed. "She should have never of gotten out of bed. Should you, Miss Kyouyama?"

"Hmm," moaned Anna. She tiredly shook her head.

"Good," said the nurse. "Now, you two get some rest. If you need anything, or want to get up, please call me or one of the other nurses."

"Thank you," said Yoh.

The nurse smiled then left.

"Sleep well, Anna," said Yoh as he looked at her. He laughed; she was already down and out. He decided to catch on his zs, too.

Yoh soon closed his eyes and was engulfed by sleep.

Well I'm done her. I don't blame you if you think it's kind of weird. And don't you think Anna said Yoh quite a few times? . Aw well do your stuff! Like I said earlier, I'm running out of ideas so if you guys can send me some I might just use them in my story! nn
