Chapter 17- Blood Loss
Tohru ran down the stairs, almost falling in the process. The phone rings and Shigure goes and gets it.
"Hello?" He asks. There was a short pause,
"What! We'll be right over!"
He yelled and slammed the phone down.
"Tohru find Yuki, we need to get to the main house now!" Shigure said in sheer panic. Tohru quickly found Yuki in his room, they all met downstairs.
"Kazuma is coming, he should be here--" A honk from outside, Kazuma had just arrived.
They all ran out the door, Shigure talking fast, "Something happened with Kyo and Akito and from what it sounded like they got into a pretty bad fight."
Shigure said as they all got in the car. Kazuma's eyes, Tohru noticed, had taken on a haunted look. Shigure and Kazuma exchanged a look, and they were off.
They arrived at the main house not much time later, all of them dashing out of the car to see what had happened. A women Tohru had never seen before greeted them.
"Master Shigure and Kazuma, they are both in intense care." She said and bowed to them. Shigure and
Kazuma practically ran to the back of the large main house. Kazuma reached the door first, pulling it open, trying to be calm but calm wasn't coming easily. He needed to see Kyo, now.
He opened the door slowly, afraid to what he might see. Hatori was on the other side, writing something on a clip board. Blood was on his white jacket and on his pants, and a little in his hair.
"Hatori." Kazuma said and walked in. Hatori immediately turned around to the sound of the voice.
Shigure waited on the other side, "I'll go in, as soon as Hari says it's ok, I'll let you guys in next."
Shigure said, following Kazuma and then shutting the door. Hatori stood with a sorrowful expression, as if he had lost something terribly close t him, or if e had actually seen the face of death and lived. His pale skin held even less color than Kazuma had ever seen. His eyes seemed a little vacant, but when he spoke, his voice was deadly calm.
"Kyo found out the truth."
He said simply, as if nothing else needed to be said. Kazuma and Shigure knew immediately what happened. Akito attacked Kyo, and Kyo fought back.
"How's Kyo?"
Kazuma asked, Kyo being his main concern. Hatori gave a sigh and whipped sweat off his brow.
"He's alive." Hatori said, and Kazuma let out a deep breath. He wasn't sure if he had been breathing since he got word of Akito and Kyo's fight.
"And Akito?" Shigure asked.
"He's alive as well, but their both in bad shape." Hatori gave another sigh, his head low and shaking,
"It's not good." He said hating to be so brutally honest. Kazuma pales in color as does Shigure. Kazuma's hands shook,
"Let me see him." He said.
Hatori gave a small nod and led them into the back, a separate room for where they now kept Kyo and Akito.
Kyo was in a room by himself, a woman by his bed side writing on a clip board. She looked a little startled when they entered, she then bowed and left. Kazuma went to Kyo's side, taking his bandages hand.
Kyo's face had patches on it from the deeper cuts, his ribs were completely wrapped, some blood came though the white cloth of the bandage. His hair was a little matted with blood, some of the nurses did best they could to clean it and not hurt him. It gave a deep red-orange. A monitor was next to his bed, and as IV drip. It bleeped, telling them his heart rate was doing as good as to be expected.
"How did this happen?" Kazuma asked not taking his eyes off Kyo.
"I'm not exactly sure, I came running in when I hear the noise and found them fighting to the death." Hatori said looking something over again on a clip board at the end of the bed.
"We'll leave you both alone." Hatori said, looking to Shigure whom nodded. Both Hatori and Shigure left, shutting the door behind them.
Kazuma took a chair beside him and put it next to the bed, still holding onto Kyo's hand. He didn't want to let go, not again.
"He's lost a lot of blood." Hatori told Shigure after shutting the door.
"Is he going to be ok?" Shigure asked.
Hatori's face showed little emotion, as if he wasn't sure quite how to feel about this situation.
"I'm not sure yet"
"Hatori!" Tohru said, worry coming pouring out in her words. "Miss Honda, it's alright." Hatori said trying to comfort her.
"Can we see him?" Yuki asked also concerned.
Shigure answered her, "Let's give Kazuma some time…" Concern and worry were all over his face. Was Kyo and Akito going to pull through this?
