Chapter four

Kono leaped from the car and sprinted towards the hospital entrance, her weak and frail body moving on adrenaline as she focused on Adam. Steve and Danny had tried to stop Kono, they had tried to get her to allow a doctor to check her out but she didn't listen. Her only thoughts about wellbeing belonged to Adam. Danny had found her everyday clothes stored in a locker and at least got her clothed despite the struggle. Kono hadn't cared one bit about her all she wanted to do was reach Adam. Her legs kept running drawing her closer and closer to her baby; the adrenaline that coursed through her body disguised the burning pain emanating from her being.

"Cuz!" Chin called as he grabbed Kono before she could run any further holding her tightly in his embrace as she kicked and screamed in sudden hysterics.

Chin couldn't understand why Kono was fighting so hard, he knew she wanted to see Adam but she was hysterical. Tears tracking down her cheeks her arms and legs flailing uncontrollably, death like screams coming from her small frame. Danny and Steve rounded the corner and saw what was happening full understanding.

"Chin let her go!" Danny yelled as he reached them.

Chin's dumbfounded face listened to their words and let Kono go watching as she fell to the ground and sobbed in a small ball pulling her legs to her chest once again. It was clear to Danny and Steve that Kono was oblivious to Chin. She believed it was Carson, she thought she was being hurt again. Her teary dazed eyes gave her away as she cried. One minute she was running for Adam, her own injuries physically and mentally forgotten about and the next she was back their hands touching her body the way only Adam should.

"What's wrong with her?" Chin asked emotionally.

Danny and Steve shared a look and avoided the question as Kono's sobs became powerful enough to draw attention from on lookers. Danny dropped to his knees and sat near Kono as Steve led Chin to take a seat.

"Kono it me…Danno"

Kono didn't listen she just sobbed her fists bleeding from where she banged against the floor begging for someone to help her.

"Rookie it's Danno" Danny tried choosing to use an old nickname that hopefully Kono would know only her Danny would use.

Kono hiccupped and looked through a curtain of hair. The tears still cascading and her whole body shaking but her focus now on Danny.

"D…an…ny?"

"Yeah Kono it's me and Steve and Chin are here to"

"Adam?"

Danny looked over to Chin and crooked his head to come join them on the floor.

"Adam's in surgery Cuz" Chin said gently as he reach slowly for Kono's hand.

Kono nearly flinched but her conscious was back and she knew it was her cousin. She let him take her hand and she squeezed it regaining her understanding of why she was there.

"Is he alive?" Kono almost whispered her eye's filled with fright.

"He was alive when he came in and the doctors took him straight to surgery…they haven't given me any updates yet no news is better than bad news" Chin informed softly.

Kono nodded her head slowly her eyes still a little dazed and unfocused but she was no longer screaming. Chin carefully lifted her up and helped her take a seat on one of the plastic chairs. Once she was sat Chin nudged Steve and Danny to the corner to speak with them.

"What was that?" He asked simply an underlining sense of fear and unease building rapidly.

"Chin…"

"Danny just tell me"

"I think she was raped"

"…you think? Raped!" Chin questioned through gritted teeth trying not to spook Kono.

"When I found her she was half naked only wear her panties but they were ripped. She had marks over her breasts and thighs and she flinches at the slightest touch." Danny said sadly.

Chin could feel anger and emptiness fill him as he wiped tears frantically. His fists clenched and unclenched as he thought about Carson hurting his baby cousin.

"She needs to be check out" Chin stated.

"No Chin just wait" Steve said as he placed a firm hand on Chin's shoulder.

"She's trying to block out what happened to her. She wouldn't admit it to us. Her only concern right now is on Adam we had to fight her to even put clothes on. Let's just wait for news on Adam then we will talk to her." Danny instructed.

"Fine but she's getting checked out" Chin said firmly before he re-joined Kono.

The thrum of machines filled his ears making his head hurt. His whole body hurt in fact. He felt like a dead weight unable to move properly. His legs and arms were heavy and achy and his ribs burned like a fire was coming out of his chest. He could hear their voices around him. He tried to open his eyes to see them. He needed to see her, feel her. His eyes were heavy but he forced them open blinking rapidly to adjust to the light.

"Adam" Kono whispered as she laid a shaky hand on his cheek rubbing her thumb over the stubble.

"Kono" Adam croaked as he fought to life his heavy hand to rest on hers.

"Good to have you back Adam" Chin smiled genuinely.

"Carson?" Adam asked.

Kono flinched at the mention of his name, her whole body stiffening. Adam didn't notice but the three other men looked at her knowingly.

"Dead" Chin answered. "I shot him in the chest"

Adam sighed in relief at Chin's words moving his head to smile at Kono as he gazed into her eyes.

"Are you okay baby?"

"Yeah I'm fine…just glad you're okay"

"I was so worried about you" Adam said softly.

"You don't need to worry about me" Kono said defiantly ignoring Danny's looks of disapproval.

"Kono…"Danny begun but was interrupted by the doctor.

"Mr Noshimuri it's good to see you awake." Doctor Coleman greeted.

"Glad to be alive"

"Yeah well you had a close call I must say it was touch and go for a while" Doctor Coleman addressed seriously.

"What's the damage?" Steve asked noting Kono seemed to have zoned out a bit.

"Well Adam the bullet that penetrated your chest nicked an artery so when had to remove the bullet and stop the bleeding which we did so successfully. You received a serious concussion from the fall and broke three ribs on impact. You have a broken wrist as well as numerous gashes to you head, arms and legs. You will make a full recovery however it will be a long process. You likely jarred your hips and back along with the obvious injuries so when we release you, you will need someone to help you with every day activities." Dr Coleman informed.

"Wow okay" Adam said with a hint of sadness at needing to rely on everyone.

"I'll be looking after him" Kono said as she snapped out of her daze.

"Are you his girlfriend?"

"Fiancée and we live together so I will help with the everyday tasks" Kono informed sternly leaving no room for discussion.

"I see you have some bruising around your face and neck were you caught up in this situation also?" Dr Coleman asked.

"Actually yes and…" Danny tried.

"I was but bruising will heal in no time it's not the first time I've received injuries at work." Kono replied.

"Okay well I want Adam kept in for a few days but he should be free to go soon…I'll leave you guys to catch up" Dr Coleman smiled before leaving the room.

"Kono can I talk with you" Chin said softly.

"Not now Chin I want to be with Adam" Kono replied knowing Danny had told Chin his suspicions.

Kono pulled up a chair and sat next to Adams bed clasping his hand in hers. She knew at the back of her mind that she should get checked out but having found out what happened to Adam she no longer cared about herself. She believed she was ruined anyway it didn't matter if someone checked her out it wouldn't make the emotional turmoil disappear.

The team left Kono to be with Adam for a few hours knowing she was dealing with a lot. They all understood that it must be hard for her but they were also very aware that Kono was trying to supress what happened to her and that it would eat her up over time. Chin wanted to be there for his cousin but she seemed to calm whenever around Danny…maybe because he was the one to find her so Chin and Steve took a step back and allowed Danny to enter Adams room with the intention to get Kono to see a doctor herself.

"Hey" Danny said softly as he joined Kono.

Adam had fallen asleep so Danny hoped Kono would leave him for a while.

"Hi"

"Look…"

"I'll get checked out but it's not really necessary…he's dead" Kono said stubbornly.

"Doesn't matter Kono…did he use protection?" Danny asked knowing it was unlikely.

"I'm just going to go and get this over with" Kono said as she stood from her chair Danny hot on her tails.

"Doctor Lee said she will check you out" Danny informed as he directed Kono down the hall to meet the young doctor.

"Hi Kono I'm Doctor Lee" The pleasant doctor said.

"It's officer Kalakaua" Kono corrected sharply.

"Kono" Danny warned.

"My apologies Officer Kalakaua shall we go into this room and get this over with?" The doctor asked with a calm voice which actually eased Kono.

"Yes please" Kono smiled weakly.

Danny went to follow and stopped at the door.

"Can you just wait outside Danny I won't be long keep Adam Company for me" Kono said as the door closed on Danny.

The hospital bed felt hard and uncomfortable as Kono jumped up onto it dressed in a hospital gown. It felt scratchy and horrible against Kono's delicate skin. She was lost in her thoughts and didn't hear the doctor.

"Officer Kalakaua can you lean back please and just place your feet in the stirrups"

Kono nodded nervously as fear built in her stomach. She didn't want anyone else to see how vulnerable she was and bit her lip to stop her tears that threatened to spill over.

"Try and relax as best you can I understand this is difficult. You will feel slight pressure." The Doctor explained as she retrieved the swab. "Okay all done"

"When will I find out the results?" Kono asked as she got down from the bed.

"I'm going to but a rush on this and we should have the results shortly" Doctor Lee said as she left Kono to get re-dressed.

Kono took a breath to compose herself before going for a walk outside needing to get some air and be alone.

An hour and a half later

Kono sat in front of Doctor Lee twisting her fingers around each other and clenching her fists. Her palms were sweaty with nerves and she felt sick. She hadn't told the guys this but despite the drugs she remembered more or less everything. She knew exactly what happened and she just wanted to forget it. She needed to block it from her memory.

"Officer Kalakaua the results have come back and they tell us you were raped traces of semen were found confirming this." The doctor informed gently.

Kono didn't respond. She just looked at the Doctor her brow creasing slightly as though she were deep in thought.

"Officer Kalakaua?"

Kono didn't listen or couldn't hear her. She had heard what she needed to hear. What she already knew. Why would she say the results have come back? I'm sitting in her office of course the results are back. I wouldn't be sat here otherwise. What a silly thing to say.

"Okay" Kono finally mumbled.

"The next step is to give you the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy"

"Okay"

Kono walked down the familiar corridor towards Adams room. She had done what she needed to and she wanted to forget it. She knew they guys wouldn't let it go easily and she prayed they hadn't told Adam. He didn't ever need to know. As she approached the room the guys exited.

"Cuz" Chin said as he placed his hand in hers avoiding too much contact.

"What happened?" Danny asked getting to the point.

"Is Adam okay?" Kono asked.

"Kono…"

"Yes Kono he is fine sleepy but he's doing well" Steve said knowing she just needed to hear it.

"Good"

"Cuz?"

"He didn't rape me"

"What?" The men said in unison.

"He attempted to rape me but the rape kit shows he didn't so everything is okay you jumped to the wrong conclusion" Kono explained her eyes gazing through the small window to Adam.

"Well that's good news" Chin said calmly.

"Yes I'm going to stay with Adam tonight" Kono informed before heading into his room her heart racing knowing she was lying to the guys but also knowing that what happened never needed to be spoken about again.

Hey guys I hope you're enjoying this story. I know its quiet dark and I just wanted to say that I personally have no idea how someone would deal with rape I can only assume but I hope to show Kono's real character and what I think she would do. I see her as very stubborn and I believe if this ever happened to her she wouldn't want to show her vulnerable side. Please keep reviewing guys.
