In my daughter's eyes

I am a hero

I am strong and wise

And I know no fear

But the truth is plain to see

She was sent to rescue me

I see who I want to be

In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes

Everyone is equal

Darkness turns to light

And the world is at peace

This miracle god gave to me

Give me strength when I am weak

I find reason to believe

In my daughter's eyes

Tohru sat in the waiting room at the hospital, eyes red, tears falling from them. She felt miserable. The doctor told her he would do everything it could, but it did not look good. More than likely, death would occur. She had tried to stay hopeful the first week, keeping tears from her eyes most of the time.

The second week was when she began to break down. She barely left her house. She only left home when necessary, work and shopping mostly. Yuki let her be alone. He sulked sometimes too, not nearly as often as his wife. Tiburo was too young to know what was going on.

Now, it was the end of week three. Tohru's daughter was still in critical condition, having to undergo emergency surgery. Tohru was waiting on news from the doctors treating Kii.

Tohru had not seen Kyo since the incident. He disappeared after Kii made it to the hospital. He had never tried to make contact with her since then. She could not forget what he did to this family. She did not want to see him again, but she still felt an attraction to him. It was something that she could not explain, something she could not understand. Her anger… her pain… her suffering… her happiness… her love… all of these Kyo had affect on.

She felt anger at Yuki also. He let his child be in danger, instead of moving her out of the way. He ignored her pleas to stop. He could have stopped, ignored Kyo's urge to fight, but he chose not to. He also affected her anger, pain, suffering, happiness, and love.

Tohru began to cry. What if she dies? What if she can't move again? Tohru kept asking herself questions like that. She closed her eyes, trying to block out all the pain. All she could think about was Kii, her precious daughter.

I remember the first word she said. It was when Yuki had messed around with food. He overcooked the turkey in the oven, and it exploded. Instantly, Kii screamed out "Boom!" We laughed at him, and I told him not to mess with the oven again.

Kii was in the land of dreams, having a happy one. She was in a green field; a rainbow of flowers grew all around. Her family was nearby, running towards her. Tiburo was the first one to reach her. He smiled as he jumped onto her, throwing her down. She rose from the ground and removed the blades of grass from her hair. Then, she grabbed her brother's hands and began to spin in a circle. The both circled, a ring spinning in Kii's perfect world. After a while, she let go of him, throwing him into the grass.

"That's for what you did earlier." Kii laughed at her younger brother.

He stood up and went to his mother. "Mommy! Kii pushed me!"

Kii seized the opportunity to grab her father by the arm. "Come on Daddy!" She grabbed him and ran with him to some close flowers. There, she picked some lavender flowers and handed them to Yuki. "These are for you, Daddy! They match your hair!"

He took them and looked at them. "They sure are beautiful, just like your mother is." He held them carefully in his hands. "Thank you."

"I love you Daddy!"

"I love you too."

They strolled through a path, going in a circle. The path ended right behind Tohru and Tiburo, where she let go of her father and walked to her mother. "Mommy, would you like to walk with me."

Suddenly, she began to float into the air. "What's happening?" She rose higher. No matter how hard she tried, she could not lower her body back to her mother. "Mommy? Mommy! MOOOMMMMMMMMYYY!" She rose even higher. "HELP ME MOMMY!"

Tohru woke. She had not realized she had gone to sleep. What happened? Where is everybody? Then, she realized that it was almost midnight. She was not sure if they were supposed to have given her news yet. She decided to ask the late night nurse if she knew anything.

"Oh… you're finally up. The doctors told me to tell you to come back tomorrow to hear her condition. She looked stable immediately after the surgery, but tonight is what really matters."

"Okay…" Tohru began her way out of the hospital. The nurse watched as the doors closed behind her. As soon as they did, she began to cry.

Tohru went back to her home, quiet with the late of night and without the fighting of children. She instantly went to her bed and fell asleep, fatigued by worried. She had no dream that night, just an empty pit of darkness.

The next morning, Tohru woke early. She made breakfast quietly, leaving plates of food for the sleeping men. She drove to the hospital, showing as little emotion as possible. She parked near the entrance, locking her vehicle on the way in. she moved back into the waiting room she had left last night and waited.

It took about an hour before somebody came to see her. He walked slowly towards her, finally arriving at Tohru. "Are you the woman who's daughter underwent surgery yesterday?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to find out my daughter's condition."

"The nurse didn't tell you?"

"No."

"Then I must tell you. Your daughter, Kii, is-"

And when she puts her hand around my finger

Oh it puts a smile in my heart

Everything becomes a little clearer

I realize what life is all about

It's hanging on when your heart has had enough

It's giving more when you feel like giving up

I've seen the light

It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes

I can see the future

A reflection of

Who I am and what will be

And though she'll grow and someday leave

Maybe raise a family

When I'm gone, I hope you'll see

How happy she made me

And I'll be there

In my daughter's eyes

Note: The evil cliffhanger is still taking residence in your home. He or she shares your room. He or she eats all your food. He or she uses all the hot water right before you take a shower, but enough about him or her. Is Kii okay? Why did the nurse not tell Tohru what happened? Why did this fiction get longer than planned? This was supposed to be the last chapter, but why is it not? Are your reviews helping me increase my writing spirit?

Note2: I would like to give the spotlight to x Fade x To x Black x Angel-san x. When you guess what is going to happen next, you get it right. Stop it!
