Chapter 8:

"Hikaru, Hikaru……"

He heard someone called him in the darkness.

'Sai…is that you?'

"You must wake up now, you been asleep for too long...now go…"

He felt himself falling, falling in the void space, falling towards the ground……

'Sai! Sai!!!'

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hikaru…Hikaru!!!"

"Sai……" Hikaru whispered, while feeling his conscious returning to him.

Hikaru tried to open his eyes, but he felt that his eyelids were too heavy to be open. He rolled his eyes around, struggling to open it up.

"Hikaru! Hikaru!!! You are finally awake! Thank goodness!" Someone squealed.

"Sai?" He croaked out, and finally managed to open his eyes.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds from the window above his bed, and into his eyes. He tried to lift his left hand to prevent the sunrays from shining directly into his eyes, but he couldn't.

"Hikaru, can you hear me?" He felt someone shaking his arm.

Hikaru focused his eyes onto the source, and saw a teenage girl gripping his left arm while shaking it roughly. Nope definitely not Sai.

"Akari…?" Hikaru croaked again. Hikaru winced, his voice sounded terrible, and his throat felt raw.

"O, I guess you will be needing a glass of water, I'll be right back." Akari said as she jumped up from her seat beside the bed and walked towards the bed stand to get the water.

Hikaru sat up with some difficulties as his body felt weak and took the opportunity to look around him.

It was an unfamiliar room. The room was sparse and uniform. The ceiling was white in colour, along with the four walls and the window blinds, only the door was faint pink in colour. There was a table at the other end of the tiny room, opposite his bed. On it was a vase with flowers, the only colourful object in the room. Alongside with the table and his bed, the only other furniture in the room was the bed stand and Akari's seat.

"I'm…in a hospital?" Hikaru concluded as he finished surveying his surrounding.

"Yes, you are, Hikaru." Akari said as she came to his side and offered him a glass of water.

Hikaru accepted and started to drink the water greedily down his parched throat.

"You have made us quite worried you know. You have been unconscious for almost a week since you fainted on Monday. "

Hikaru nearly spit out his drink.

"Wha…What? I was unconscious for a week? Why?" Hikaru couldn't believe it.

'I thought I was only asleep for a day or so'

Hikaru thought to himself as he remembered his queer dreams about an Onmyouji, a Hime and...Akira……

"Well the doctor said that you had a severe case of fever, you were lucky that it didn't kill you, as your fever broke the next day. But you had remained unconscious until now, even the doctor doesn't know why."

Akari then put her face in front of Hikaru's face, and stared at him with eyes threatening to cry.

"I'm so scared we might lose you, you know…" Akari sniffled and suddenly threw herself onto Hikaru and hugged him tightly.

Hikaru tensed as he was stunned, but he relaxed and tried to comfort her.

He then smiled and whispered gently:

"I'm alright now, I'm alright now. Don't be sad."

They stayed in that position for a while longer, before Akari pulled back and said:

"Well, I really need find the doctor to check if you are really alright, and call your mother to inform her that you had awaken, for she went back home to get your essentials."

Hikaru tried to lighten up the mood, and joked:

"Yes, you better go now and next time, don't hug me for so long, it is inappropriate, for you are a girl and I'm a guy."

But Akari upon hearing this, paled.

"Wha..aat did you said again? You are a guy?!"

Hearing this, Hikaru was confused.

"Of course I'm a guy; you should know that since we're childhood friends. I'm obviously MALE. How can I not be a guy?" Hikaru questioned.

"NO Hikaru! You are a FEMALE!!!!" Akari cried out, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry as she stared at Hikaru.

"WHAT??? There's no way that I'm a GIRL, Akari. Stop kidding around, it's not funny." Hikaru feeling insulted that he was called a female.

"You are a girl, Hikaru. You are my best friend for so many years and of course I would know that you are a FEMALE!" Akari screeched.

"Stop this Akari, you are being hysterical and weird. There's no way I'm a girl, see?" Hikaru said as he unbuttoned his hospital shirt.

And he got the shock of his life.

There was something on his chest that no normal male should have.

A pair of unmistakably feminine breast.

Akari saw what he did and his shock expression and quickly ran out of the room; remembering to close the door properly as Hikaru is still in an undress state, while shouting at the top of her lungs.

"DOCTOR!!!!!"
