Chapter 4- Pain and Love

It was about 11:30 PM when Takuto began to worry heavily. Where could she be? Ugh. This is my entire fault. I should have never told her that I loved her…but it's not REALLY my fault is it? Argh! What am I going to do? He yelled at himself. He ran his fingers through his wet hair, which had been pulled out of its ponytail and sighed. But…I'm not going to let her be alone. Takuto ran out of the building, wet hair and all. I haven't lost her yet! All night, Takuto looked for Mitsuki through the snow fall. He constantly went from house to house asking if they saw her. Only few knew where she went and pointed out a direction. He searched and searched until finally, at 3:00 AM the next day, he found a girl lying in the snow with only a coat that a man had left for her as warmth. He ran to her and without a single thought, he hugged her tightly. Takuto picked Mitsuki up and ran into the closest store. Takuto ran to the store clerk and panted. "Please…this girl…where's the nearest hospital!" he asked. The clerk smiled as he came out from behind the counter.

"Come with me…I gave my jacket to this girl…I'll take you to the hospital in my car." He said with gentle voice.

"Thank you…so much." Takuto then looked at Mitsuki. "Hold on…you're going to be ok. We're getting you to the hospital. Just…hold on Mitsuki." He said to her softly. Takuto felt her move a bit and smiled as he held her tightly.

When they got to the hospital, it was already 4:30 AM and Mitsuki was growing restless. Takuto rushed into the emergency room. There, a doctor with a mask covering his face took some of Mitsuki's pulse tests. "Her heart. It…isn't beating correctly. I'm sorry…but she m-might not make it." The doctor explained with sadness in his voice. The doctor himself, held back tears. Takuto's heart completely sank. He was about to lose the one that he loved most. "…We will do anything that we can…" the doctor went on. "There…is a small and slight chance that she will be alive…but its chances are about one to… one million."

At that exact moment, the readings on the pulse meter changed. Any traces of Mitsuki's heart vanished. Takuto grasped his shirt and ran to Mitsuki. She…wasn't breathing. He stared in horror as the once that he had loved died. "No! She can't be dead! No! No! I—I won't believe it! Mitsuki! Don't…don't die on me! Please!" Takuto yelled out. Tears began to stream down his cheeks as he took Mitsuki's hand. There was no feeling or warmth in it.

"I…I'm sorry Takuto, but she is…we've lost…no. I've lost someone very dear to my heart…" the doctor said. Takuto looked at him as he walked to Mitsuki and placed his hand on her head. Takuto's eyes widened as the doctor was…Wakaoji Keichii.

"Keichii…"

"Takuto. I thought that you would take care of her with your life. I guess…I couldn't trust you…"

"No! It's not my fault! I took care of her will all I had!"

"Then why is she dead!" Wakaoji's voice was harsh, yet filled with sorrow. He had loved Mitsuki as a daughter.

"I…" Takuto couldn't speak. He stormed out of the room with tears coming down his face. Takuto ran into a vacant alley and pounded a fist into the wall. "Dammit! Damn it all! Mitsuki…I'm sorry!" Takuto punched the wall once more and leaned his head into it. A flow of rain-like tears fell to the ground. Takuto kept punching the wall as he murmured curses to himself.

Wakaojii sat by Mitsuki's side and stared in sadness as his beloved Mitsuki was dead. As he got up to leave (he still had many other patients to attend to) he heard the monitor beep. Quickly, he turned around to see that Mitsuki's heart was beating again! He ran to her in amazement. "M-mitsuki-chan…?"

"Takuto…kun…" the girl whispered. She wanted him by her side. Wakaoji's eyes widened even more than they were. He immediately took out his phone and called Takuto.

"It's…a miracle."

Kimi wa suki ni natte

Dore kurai tatsu no kana…

Takuto answered his phone and with all the strength he had he managed to say, "Hello…?"

"Takuto! It's Wakaoji! Come to the hospital right now!"

"Keichii? What for…? S-she's dead…"

"Just come! Please Takuto! Hurry!" Wakaoji said just before he hung up.

Better go see what's up…Takuto thought quickly. He ran to the hospital and when he went into the waiting room, Wakaoji stepped out.

"Takuto…there's someone here…who wants to see you." He said with a smile on his face.

Takuto, still confused sighed and asked, "Who would want to see me here at the hospital?" Takuto noticed a figure standing behind Wakaoji. She was wearing a white dress, the sort the patients wore at hospitals. His eyes grew large as he opened his mouth. The only thing that came out was, "Mitsuki…" he stared in shock as the girl ran towards him and hugged him around the waist. Mitsuki leaned her head on Takuto's chest and closed her eyes. Takuto was in so much surprise that he was frozen stiff. What else could a boy do if the one he loved, who was thought to be dead, was hugging him around the waist?

"Takuto-kun…ai…suru. (I love you.)" she said as she buried her head in his white shirt. Takuto's eyes winced out of surprise. She had just told him that she loved him! Without a single thought or word, he threw his arms around her and hugged her tightly. After a while, he let go of her and looked at her face. Tears of joy were falling from them. He picked her chin up and brought his lips to hers in a passionate kiss. The two of them felt static run down their spines as they let go and hugged each other once more.

"Hey…" Takuto whispered.

"What is it, Takuto-Kun?" Mitsuki smiled. After another long kiss between the two, Takuto lightly brushed her cheek with his fingertips.

"I will never leave you…"

Finish!
