"Ya..wn… Urgh so tired."
"It can't be help after all we have been practicing night in night out for 3 weeks straight. Even I am feeling very tired."
After creating their performance piece, Kousei and Kaori have been practicing for a very long in order to perfect their parts, for 3 weeks straight they slept for a maximum of 5 hours and spent the rest of the time studying in school or just pure practice. Now they decided to take a break from practice and just decided to hang out after a long time to relax. They are on their way to the shopping mall and they were talking about how their pieces and ways to improve them.
They walked through a park and noticed some college students making out and they blush a little as they began to reflect as to whether they kiss the same way as the students and quickly walked through the park. They reached the road and as they were waiting for the traffic lights to turn green, a soccer ball rolled onto the road and a boy quickly ran after to chase it, a truck rushed forward and didn't seem to stop, when Kousei noticed the truck speeding, he quickly shouted and rushed towards the little boy after letting go the hands of Kaori.
"WATCH OUT!"
Once Kousei arrived at the side of the little boy, he pushed the boy away and tried to jump to the side to avoid the truck but he did not make it in time, the truck hit Kousei and his body was flung a few meters in front. It took Kaori a few seconds to snap out of her shock and she rushed forward like a madman to the side of Kousei, her every word was filled with panic and anxiety as she tried to wake Kousei up, blood from his head bled profusely and it seemed never ending, Kousei's glasses broke and he head was covered in blood, his clothes torn and tattered which made him seem pitiful.
"Kousei! Kousei! Wake up! No! You can't do this to me! Someone, someone please call the ambulance!" Kaori's tears flowed endlessly as she tries to hold it in, seeing her boyfriend on the road in a near dead state, who could blame her? It took all her might just to stay calm and not scream. A male passerby wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans quickly snapped out of it and called the ambulance, while the car driver and car was long gone.
A few moments later, sirens could be heard from afar and a white and red van quickly arrived at the scene, the paramedics took out a stretcher and carefully placed Kousei onto it and carried him onto the ambulance car, Kaori followed suit and hopped on the car with the paramedics and they left for the hospital. While on the way to the hospital, Kaori phoned up Hiroko-san and the rest of the gang to let them know of the situation.
Kousei was immediately brought into the surgery room and Kaori waited anxiously for him to come out, how ironic she thought, it used to be her inside the surgery room while Kousei was waiting for her to come out, she thought she understood how he felt but now, she realized Kousei was waiting like this for her for so long and she felt so painful and heartbroken, at any moment's notice, the boy she loves can die…
"Kaori-chan! Where is Kousei?!" Hiroko-san arrived to the scene and saw Kaori sitting down on the bench with her head down, she ran up to Kaori and tried to get her answers. Kaori looked up and her face was terrible, her eyes were red and looked very dry, her frown was still on her face and her hair was very messy, it showed how much she had cried for Kousei how worried she is. Hiroko could no longer bring herself to question her anymore as she sat down beside her and embraced her warmly encouraging her saying everything will be alright and that Kousei will be fine. Moments later everyone arrived and when they arrived, they were panting and sweating furiously.
3 hours had passed since Kousei entered the surgery room but for everyone who was waiting outside for him it felt as if 3 years had passed by, time flowed very slowly for them and when the doctor finally exit the room and the lights were off, everyone ran up to him and quickly asked him about Kousei.
"Are you the patient's mother?"
"No… I am his guardian, his mother passed away when he was young and his dad is overseas on a business trip."
"I see…"
"How is Kousei?"(Kaori)
"He is okay although he was in critical condition, we managed to save him, he was lucky… if he had arrived to the hospital a second later, he would have died from extreme blood loss."
Once everyone heard the doctor's the affirmation of Kousei's safety, they heaved a sign of relieve, but the doctor next few words were shocking for them to hear.
"But… the patient has a brain injury which could potentially cause him to lose some of his memories."
"Kousei may have Amnesia? Then is he gonna be alright?!" (Watari)
"He will be fine but if he lost some memories then it may take a while for them to be recovered."
"Ari…I mean Kousei will he be…" Takeshi tried to ask the doctor but was interrupted by Nagi and Emi.
"Kousei/ Arima sensei, will lose his memories?! How long will his memories take to return?"
"I do not know… Anyways you all should be worried about him, he is in Ward 23 on the 2nd floor."
"Thank you doctor for all your help… really."(Hiroko)
"Don't worry about it, it's my job after all."
The doctor then left for his office to check on another patient while everyone else walked briskly to Kousei's ward. When they arrived at his ward, they all saw Kousei lying on the bed unconscious and their hearts prang. Kaori was the first to walk up to Kousei and her hand came into contact with his cheeks as she smiled, when everyone saw her like that, they all decided to just leave since they now know that Kousei was safe and sound so they headed back.
"Then Kaori-chan you stay here and take care of this idiot okay?"(Hiroko)
"See you later Kao-chan! When Kousei wakes up give us a call yeah?"(Tsubaki)
"Bye! Kaori-chan once Kousei wakes up let's have a party for him!"(Watari)
"Well then… we will head back first Miyazono-san."(Kanade)
"See you."(Takemaru)
"Miyazono-san we will leave now."(Emi)
"Hmph! Once A…I mean Kousei wakes up I will challenge him ag…"(Takeshi)
"Arima-sensei get well soon!"(Nagi)
"Na…Nagi can you not interrupt me everytime I tal… OUrghp"(Takeshi)
"Bye Miyazono-san me and my idiot brother will leave as well!"(Nagi)
Apparently Takeshi was punched in the stomach by Nagi and fainted… he ended up being dragged away by Nagi and everyone left after seeing such a funny scene.
The room was silent and the wind blew through the windows which the sunlight shone through, one could clearly hear the sounds of the gentle nature and it was peaceful, Arima Kousei-kun please wake up quickly and let's continue on that date… Miyazono Kaori laid her head on the bed of Arima Kousei and peacefully slept for a while.
…...
Kaori's POV
'Where am I?" I was in a dark area…. It was so cold and scary and I wanted to get out of here as quickly as possible. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kousei appeared right in front of me, he was transparent and I couldn't see his face, I reached out to touch him but why… why did he seem so far when he is so close? No…. Kousei don't go, Arima kousei-kun stop going, you promised to stay by my side so why are you going away? No… stop Kousei, don't play a prank already alright? It is scary, please stop leaving…
But if as Kousei couldn't hear a single word I said, he kept on turning even more translucent and kept going in the opposite direction of me, he wouldn't stop even when I was reaching to him.
"LIAR! FRIEND A YOU STOP RIGHT NOW! STOP DON'T LEAVE! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE! KOUSEIII!"
"AH!" I woke up and cold sweat was on her forehead, realizing it was all but a nightmare, I was relieved. I look back at Kousei's bed and noticed something, Kousei… he was missing. I quickly jumped up and panic struck me, I looked around and Kousei was not around me at all, I quickly called up the nurse who was working for the evening shift. (Authors note: They brought kousei to the hospital in the afternoon and it was evening time)
Once the nurse arrived, I quickly told her all about Kousei being missing and requested for them to search for him, once the nurse knew about a missing patient, she quickly called up the office and dispatched people to look for Kousei( A note: Just in case people don't know, a hospital has an office which nurses can call to request for people for assistance, one group of people are dispatched to search for missing patients)
After a long time, the nurse told me that they found Kousei… he was playing the piano at the lobby. This hospital that me and Kousei were currently at has a piano in the recreational room, I was relief once again knowing Kousei was safe and quickly left to for the recreational room.
After arriving at my destination, I walked into the recreational room for kids and noticed Kousei was playing the piano, it was his last performance piece he played as a kid, Beethoven sonata no.14 "Moonlight" movement 3 but it was weird…. It was not how the usual Kousei would play this piece, it was… too accurate as if… the Kousei currently playing the piece now was the Kousei from back then.
I walked towards Kousei and called out to him, "Ko…Kousei. Are you alright, are you feeling better?"
Kousei didn't respond to me but stared at me for a few seconds, afterwards his words made my heart shatter complete and I really wished to wake up from this horrible nightmare anytime soon.
"Miss… who are you?" Kousei said with an innocent face.
That will be it for this chapter, it's rather short considering how long I took just to make it. I kept deleting and deleting and finally managed to write something that I accept. This plot has been in my mind for some time but it was hard to write it out, so hope you all enjoyed and I will be writing to you all… next time
