Love Hina : The Unknown Pain

Chapter 3 : Closing up the wound

The scene was best describe . . . as a slaughterhouse if you can call it. There wasn't a spot there that isn't covered in blood. On the street, the side-walk, hell even some of the pedestrians were smeared in blood. But that doesn't stop people from crowding up the scene. Despite the huge amount of blood loss, Keitaro was still . . . though shallowly . . . breathing a bit ,but still breathing nonetheless. There was a huge gash on his head and stomach where the blood flowed. Naru, having manage pull her self together, instinctively, torn a part of her shirt and made a tourniquet out of it to slow the blood flow down, anxiously waiting for the ambulance while kneeling beside Keitaro.

The ambulance and the police arrived at the scene a few minutes later. The crowd moved back a little as the paramedics make way to the still unconscious while the police were questioning the truck driver and witnesses .Naru was asked by one of the paramedics to move back to give room for them to do their work. She hesitated at first, wanting to be at his side but obliged for his sake.

Standing on the side of the road, Naru prayed that Keitaro would survive the ordeal .She then remembered the events that has led her to this point . . . .

30 Minutes earlier

Where is that idiot ?!! He's supposed to be here like 15 minutes ago!. Naru was mad. No, furious. Here she was standing in the park, all neatly dressed for the 'occasion', but Keitaro was very late. The heat doesn't help things either, she was sweating profusely causing the make up she was wearing melting down her face giving her a 'clownish' look which has not gone unnoticed as she heard laughter coming from various people there. Embarrassed, she quickly rub her make up off. Frustrated she yelled to the top of her lungs

Goddamnit! I'm going to kill you Keitaro! You good for nothing bastard! Why did I ever thought of meeting you! I wish you would die!

Suddenly she heard a loud crash followed by numerous screams.

Huh, what's with the commotion. Guest I'll check it out, It's better than waiting for that damn idiot, I hope he gets hit by a truck.

Present

Beware what you wish for, it might come true, I sure learned it the hard way huh, God I'm so sorry Keitaro, I wish I could do something but I can't ,I feel so helpless.

Her eyes starting moist and she began to cry again Her attention was then caught by the sight of the truck driver, the one who injured Keitaro was being questioned by a police officer. She rub her tears, and began walking towards the man .She was gonna have a little talk with him.She was near the man ,who was giving lame excuses when she asked.

Why did you hit him?

Whoa, whoa are you? I ain't got time for this shit, get out of my face! Look officer, I've got to do a lot of delivery right now so I'll be on my way now and . . . .

SLAP!!!!!!!!

Oww, you bitch! You slapped me! Why did you slap me?!!

I asked you a question, and I expect an answer . . . why did you hit him?

I ain't gonna answer to a goddamn whore! I'm gonna punch you for slapping me!

The police officer who was quiet the whole time, upon seeing the signal ,intervened.

Whoa, whoa easy there nobody is hurting nobody when I'm around

But officer, she slapped me!!!

With the way you talking, you're lucky this boot ain't stomping your scrawny ass.

Okay, okay fine. I was driving, minding my own business, when out of nowhere the guy crossed the road. I was startled, so I didn't manage to hit the breaks.

Naru then continued to ask

Did you try horning him or try to steer away?

And wreck the delicate shipment I was carrying, no way bitch! Besides, I thought the idiot would at least try dodging me, the stupid bastard.

Unable to take it any longer ,she punched the man hard in the face, causing him to fall to the ground, she was managed to be restrained by the police officer, trying to calm her down . . . unsuccessfully of course, she then yelled to the truck driver.

You're the idiot! Try being in his shoes! Try coming face to face with a 3-tonne truck heading fast towards you! You would be frozen in your tracks would you, hell,you would probably even piss in your pants for all I know. That's what Keitaro fell you inconsiderate asshole! He's a kind person who did nothing to you. If he dies I'm gonna rip balls off and shove it right down your throat, choking you with . . .

NARU THAT'S ENOUGH . . .
