HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Hello everyone. Yes It's been forever since I last wrote something...or more like since I wrote this fanfiction. Many of you might know that I have recently written a ShingyojixMisu fanfic. I wrote because I knew that a lot of people were fans of them and I felt bad that they were just reading TakumixGii fan fictions.

For all those ShingyojixMisu fans, I apologize for not being consistent with those parts I am sorry *bows*.

Anyways enough of me rambling here is the new chapter!

Disclaimer: I do not own Takumi-kun Series or it's characters. I only own my OC's and the plot. This is a yaoi fanfiction as many can see so if you don't like, don't read and please don't leave negative comments just because you didn't like it. That would be much appreciated. Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 10

The sky was dark an ominous...a heavy fog was towering over the surroundings. Takumi soon found himself in a cement pathway surrounded by endless tall trees. The fog limited his vision on what was beyond the few trees. He couldn't see much farther from the pathway either. Neither the sun of the moon were present and there was just a dark purple tint in the sky.

The brunet teen's natural instinct was to start walking, to get out of here; so he started walking down the path. Suddenly, there was a presence of someone following him. Takumi immediately started to quicken his pace and then started to run as the presence did not disappear. As he continued running, the pathway seemed even longer than before and Takumi was too afraid to look behind him to see who it was.

It felt like it had been hours and hours as Takumi was running and it seemed endless... As he was running, at the end of the pathway, he saw a blurry figure and felt instant relief. As he continued running, the figure finally came into focus and it was Gii. Takumi was too happy and ran even faster to get close to his lover. He saw that Gii had extended his arm towards him and Takumi extended his. But it just felt like the two were never inching any closer to each other.

"Gii!" Cried Takumi as he ran.

He kept on running and running the pathway didn't grow shorter and the distance between them didn't get smaller either. Takumi kept on running but he was about to give up... His legs began to feel really heavy and he felt himself slowing down...

"Gii!" Takumi called out again...

Takumi laid in the ICU, breathing through the oxygen mask while the monitor emitted the sound of his slow and steady heartbeat. The nurses frequently came in and out of the room to monitor his condition. It's been days since he was admitted into the hospital from his school. The gunshot wound that he had received from Kaito still had not completely healed and many of his bruises and cuts have healed a little. Takumi, according to the doctor, had received many blows to the head and suffered brain trauma and a concussion. When Gii heard the news, his heart sank but that was given since Gii had witness his lover take beatings and a bullet for him. Gii visits him almost everyday, looking across from a glass window.

In the middle of a week, Gii received a call from the hospital that Takumi was finally in a stable enough condition to be moved out of the ICU and into an actual hospital room. Gii was overjoyed at hearing the news that he decided to go visit his lover right away. As Gii was about to enter Takumi's appointed room, the doctor pulled Gii into his office for a quick chat. The doctor sat Gii down and began to talk.

"Saki-kun, you are currently aware that Hayama-kun was moved to a hospital room because we felt that he was finally somewhat in a stabled condition. So we ran some quick tests on him and we've just received the reports on the examinations. I'm afraid I have some bad news."

"Eh? What bad news?" Asked Gii.

"Through the examinations, we found that Hayama-kun has received and incredible amount of head trauma and in the state that he is currently in, it would be hard to recover as quick," explained the doctor. "I know that this is some tough news to hear at the moment and I want you to take it easy."

"I'm afraid I still don't understand, sensei," said Gii.

"What I am saying is, in the current state that Hayama-kun is in right now, he might not be able to recover. His brain might not be able to recover from it's current 'wounded' state. He might stay in this vegetated state for a while," the doctor said with more detail. "I understand that you are in shock, right now. So try your best...to take in the situation slowly."

"Are you saying that Takumi could possibly be brain dead?" Asked Gii in total shock.

"As of right now, Hayama-kun is in a very vegetable state and it is hard to tell whether or not he will wake up ever again," said the doctor. "You have to prepare yourself for the worst."

As Gii walked back to his lover's hospital room, the words of the doctor kept replaying over and over again in his head. He didn't want to lose his lover again, too many things have already happened. As he walked down the halls of the hospital, it felt like hallway was getting longer and longer. The thought of Takumi never ever waking up again, never calling his name with that sweet voice, nothing... His leg went limp, Gii felt his world crumbling, like there was nothing there anymore.

When Gii finally reached Takumi's room, entered the room and saw his lover lying motionless in the bed, Gii's composure broke...tears started flowing down his cheeks like a waterfall. He went over and took a seat next to Takumi's bed and took Takumi's hand in his own. He kissed his lover's hand over and over again, praying for everything not to come true; praying that any minute from now, Takumi would open his eyes and welcome Gii with his warm smile.

"Takumi...Takumi please, please wake up," Gii sobbed quietly. "Please I need you. Please wake up."

As seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours, their time together seemed really short. And as hours passed with Gii sat with Takumi, sobbing, Gii fell asleep still holding his lover's hand in his.

Gii dreamt of a dark and ominous place. A place of pure emptiness and sadness and it felt like there was nothing to look forward to. Gii just stood there in the middle of the dark room with nothing and nowhere to go. Suddenly, out from above, there was a warm and bright light that slowly engulfed the dark surrounds. The light was warm and it felt peaceful.

As he laid on the side of the hospital bed still clutching his lovers and hands, tightly, the blond haired boy then felt a soft touch on his head, as if a hand were brushing his head. It was a familiar touch, a touch that he knew for a long time. As he laid there examining this person's touch, slowly waking up to the hand's soft caress, he heard a warm and familiar voice, the voice that he had been dying to hear this whole time:

"Gii."

Gii stayed still in hopes that this wasn't a dream and waited until the voice called him again; that same warm and soft voice to call his name once again.

"Gii, wake up."

Gii didn't know if it was reality or not, he slowly opened his eyes, with his vision finally clearing up, it was true. A warm and sweet smiled appeared in front of his eyes; the smile he had been waiting to see, it came back. The soft and fragile hands were back, stroking his head gently like they used to. And the eyes, the beautiful hazel brown eyes shaped like large almonds have opened and met his. That sweet voice...it sent a warm feeling down Gii's body.

Gii sat up in shock but in happiness. He couldn't believe his eyes...he tried blinking three times...he wasn't dreaming.

"Takumi?" Gii asked.

"Gii, of course it's me silly," said the brunet and letting out a small chuckle.

"Is it really you?"

"Of course, who else would it be?"

"You're... it's really you!" Cried Gii as he jumped up and gave Takumi a tight hug as tears of joy streamed down his cheeks.

Gii gave his lover thousands upon thousands of kisses just to make sure again.

"Mou~ Gii, you're hurting me. I'm still injured. remember?" Cried Takumi in pain.

"Oh right, I forgot. I'm just...I'm just so happy to see you up! Oh my god!" Cried Gii as he gave Takumi another hug.

Gii finally released his lover after a long hug. Then Takumi moved his hands up to Gii's face, stroking his cheeks, caressing his face and staring into his eyes. Oh how Gii awaited the moment to feel the soft and warm hands again. He was in bliss. Takumi then planted a sweet and loving kiss onto Gii lips. Gii was taken back by surprise but immediately forgot as he remembered how long he had waited for this moment. The kiss was bitter sweet but so good that it hurt for Gii to remember all the hardship that Takumi had to face. As they finally released, Gii sat down and slumped down in guilt.

"Takumi, I am so sorry," cried Gii.

"Gii..."

"I did it again...I let you get hurt again...I can't...I couldn't protect you..."

"No, Gii. It wasn't your fault. You've protected me so many times. I chose to protect you. I chose to block that bullet for you because I love you," said Takumi as he held Gii's face up to meet his eyes. 'I did it because I love and didn't want you to get hurt."

"But-"

"No, no more. That was the past and this is now. We are together aren't we?" Takumi asked as Gii nodded slowly. "Then let's forget about the past and move on."

"Alright...Oh you're awake, I should go call the doctor. They need to examine you after all."

Gii ran out the room and called a nurse informing her of that Takumi had woken up. The nurse immediately called the doctor and Takumi was quickly taken back into the examination room and he received a shockingly good report. What made things more surprising was that Takumi was able to be released from the hospital within a weeks time. However, Gii started to find something a little strange but decided to brush it off because of the joy that he felt. Gii sat in the hospital room talking to Takumi the whole day. Then when the nurse came in to tell Gii that visiting hours were over, his face turned dark. He didn't want to separate from his lover but he knew that he couldn't violate the hospital rules. Gii only wished that the week would pass so he could welcome Takumi back into the school again.

The next day, Gii came back to the hospital to visit Takumi but the nurse told him that Takumi was currently taking a stroll in the hospital gardens. Gii ran as fast as he could down to the gardens and saw his lover sitting on one of the benches gazing up at the bright blue sky. Gii walked over and took a seat next to Takumi and gave the brunet a quick peck on the cheek.

"Hey!" Takumi laughed in surprise.

"Hi there," Gii laughed.

"You're here, early," said Takumi.

"I wanted to see you," said Gii. "And school ended early so I came here as fast as I could."

"How is everyone? No one has come to visit me yet and I feel kind of lonely here," exclaimed Takumi.

"No one came to visit you? Not even Shouzou? That's strange..." thought Gii.

"Why wouldn't any of them come visit Takumi. He's their friends too...this is weird...and how the day passed by really quickly, too." though Gii.

The two stood up and began to walk around but then Gii noticed that Takumi had less bruises and cuts that he did before and he questioned whether or not Takumi should even be walking after receiving a gunshot wound. Things didn't add up for Gii and a lot of things didn't make sense. He also noticed that Takumi had become a lot more positive and stress free.

"Takumi, are you sure you're alright?"

"Of course I am, I am here with you and walking perfectly fine aren't I?" Said Takumi.

"Something doesn't seem right, you're just..."

"I'm just what, Gii?" Asked Takumi.

"Different..." Said Gii.

Takumi then stops walking and says: "How am I different?"

"You just don't seem like your real self...I don't know." Said Gii.

"How am I not my real self?" Asked Takumi.

"You wounds...they healed a lot faster than I expected and your gunshot wound...shouldn't it still be healing right now? Takumi..."

"Gii, not matter what I look to you, I just want to let you know...I love you and that is all that matters. Please don't blame yourself for any of this, " said Takumi.

"What?"

"I love you, Gii. Don't forget that..."

Suddenly the distance between the two starts to grow. Gii reached out to Takumi but he couldn't grab onto Takumi. The distance was growing bigger and bigger as Gii noticed that around him, everything had began to face. Takumi was slowly disappearing and Gii could hear a voice. Someone was calling him...

"-are over."

"Huh what!" cried Gii as he bolted up from his seat.

"Sir, visiting times are over," said a person behind him.

It was a nurse, Gii scanned the surroundings and realized that he was still in the hospital, still holding Takumi's hand, the Takumi that hasn't woken up yet. It was all a dream...this whole time...everything was in his head. Takumi never woke up, he never recovered...it was just an allusion. Afterwards, Gii was asked to leave and so he did. His heart had just sunk, it was all just a dream...but it felt too real.

Meanwhile, back in the hospital room, Takumi laid silently on the bed. As the nurse checked Takumi's clipboard, she let out a small smirk on the side of her face. As she placed the clipboard down, she walked out towards the door. The nurse scanned the area and was relieved to see that no staff was around. The nurse whispered to the side and called in someone. A man who clearly wasn't part of the hospital staff. The man walked into the room and scanned the area. He took a deep breath in and out, then said:

"Oh, the smell of hospitals...full of chlorophyll and cleaning alcohol...it's disgustingly pleasant; knowing how many people die here every day."

He then laid eyes on the victim laying on the bed near the window and gave evil grin. The man walked over to Takumi's bed and looked down at him with a psychotic smile.

"Hayama Takumi, you're will to live is strong, I am impressed. Even after the fire, the beating and gunshot, you still managed to live. That fire...I'm surprised you made it out...even after my assistant fed you those "painkiller," your lover still managed to save you. Then you managed to survive the beatings of that merciless freshman and then the gunshot wound from protecting that boy. How extraordinary, however, now it's just annoying...I think it's time to fully dispose of you. After all, no one will really notice..."

Who is that person? Was the fire s secret plan? Was Kaito just part of the plan as well? What is going on? Will Takumi wake up in time before it's too late? Will Gii finally get a chance to save his lover and protect him? Find out next chapter!
