Yay! Chapter 3 is finished! Thank you to everyone who reviewed the first 2 chapters and who are now following this fic. We get to see Akashi and Kiyoshi's side of things this time around and some clues as to who might've done this. Also apologies again if anyone seems very OOC.

Please R&R and I will see you all in the next chapter!

Disclaimer: Still don't own KnB, it would probably be a bad idea if I did if what I've done to Furi is any indication XD

The ride to the hospital was quiet with the exception of the paramedics working around them. Akashi sat on Furihata's good side holding his hand, while Kiyoshi sat quietly beside him with his arm curled gently around his waist both giving and receiving the comfort they needed.

Soon enough they arrived at the hospital and were separated from Furi, as he was wheeled away to have all his injuries treated they were led to the waiting room and given paperwork to fill out. Between the two of them they managed most the details, all filled out in Akashi's neat writing before being left alone to wait to hear about Furi's condition. It was quiet for awhile, both lost to their thoughts but taking comfort from the other being with them.

Kiyoshi's thoughts were constantly flickering from one thing to another. Who would do this? Why pick Furihata? Why couldn't he have been there to help him? Furihata wasn't weak, he could be timid of course, but once he made up his mind nothing could stop him. He smiled fondly thinking of the time Furihata showed up to morning practice, flushed with a fever and said he was fine and it took the threat of tripled practice for a month before he would go home and rest. Furihata also cared a lot for his friends, enough that he learned how to properly give massages and how to tape properly just so he could help Riko during matches and at their streetball games when they really got going. He made a good peacemaker as well, getting in between people (mainly Kagami and Aomine to give Kuroko and Momoi a break) before things got out of hand and if one was clearly in the wrong he would speak up and not let the other just brush it off until things had been settled. At that thought Kioyshi frowned.

'If someone had said something to him concerning us he would've stopped to hear out what they had to say or would've gone defensive if it wasn't good...that would explain how he got side tracked originally' he thought

'But those injuries were definitely caused by more then one person but who would he stop and listen to if it had anything to do with us?!' at the last thought he drew in a sharp breath.

There was one person who could easily get help to do something like this that Kiyoshi knew, but the question then would be why? The Winter Cup was over so he would have no reason to be after any of them.

'I can't assume anything until Furihata wakes up, I just hope he wakes up soon' he thought.

Kiyoshi was startled out of his thoughts by a sudden weight against his side, looking down he quickly realized that Akashi had given up on trying to sit straight. His shoulders were slouched and he was gazing forward blankly with his head resting against Kiyoshi's shoulder, seeing that he was quite comfortable he loosely wrapped his arm around Akashi's waist again and gently rested his head against the soft red hair while waiting for the doctor to arrive with news of Furi's condition.

While Kiyoshi made himself comfortable Akashi stared ahead blankly, the thoughts going through his head running a mile a minute.

'Who did this to Kouki? Was it aimed towards me? All of our friends? Was it just bad luck? No I can't see it being bad luck. Kouki is cautious and the injuries he sustained looked like they came from more then one person, I can't see him getting into a fight he can't win on purpose' his brow furrowed in thought.

'That rules out the bad luck, but then who would target him just to get back at me? Or any of the others? No one would really think to target him just because he associates us unless they knew us well...wait' Akashi stiffened up the minute he realized that there was someone who would target Furihata, with little to no provocation necessary. After all he had already attacked Kagami's brother in the past.

'I'll ask him when he wakes up, however if it was him he will not be getting off so easily this time' he thought darkly.

"...i-kun"

"...ashi-kun"

"Akashi-kun!"

Hearing his name called so close to his ear caused Akashi to jump up in suprise, looking around a bit wildly trying to get his bearings again he noticed that everyone else had arrived and were taking up the rest of the seats in the waiting room.

"The doctor's here" Kiyoshi murmured from beside him.

"Ah" he nodded before turning his attention to the doctor who was waiting to begin.

"You're all here for news of Furihata-kun correct?" asked the doctor.

"Yeah, can you tell us how he's doing?" Kasamatsu asked.

"He was in pretty rough shape when he was brought in, however he will only have to stay here a couple days. The overall recovery time however will be a fair bit longer." consulting his clipboard he looked over a few things before continuing.

"His injuries from least to worst are as follows: the bruising will start fading in a few days, with the exception of some of the darker ones which will start fading within a week or so. The gash in his temple will clear up quickly as well since it wasn't very deep; he has no concussion luckily, and his lip is already healing. The black eye and the light sprain he received in his right ankle will take a couple weeks to heal, and he'll need some help getting around due to the ankle. The injuries that will take the longest to heal will be his ribs and shoulder, he is not allowed to do any sports for at least 6 weeks and he will need to wear a sling to keep from moving his shoulder too often. We'll get him to come in for a check-up every 2 weeks up until that point and will go from there. Any questions?" the doctor asked looking up from his notes.

"When can we see him?" Takao asked from where he was sitting in front of Midorima, leaning against his legs.

"You can go see him now if you wish, he's awake and was asking for you all" the doctor responded with a smile.

After giving them the directions to Furihata's room the doctor left. It was completely silent for a moment before they all rushed to the door and down the hall. Arriving at the room with the nameplate "Furihata. K" beside it someone slammed the door open and they all tumbled through falling into a pile on the floor. Hearing a quiet chuckle they all looked up from where they were sprawled and into warm brown eyes. There was Furi, sitting propped up in bed sling and all.

Hey guys, sorry to have worried you.."he said with a small smile.
