Fallen
The night was dark, as if the world had been swallowed by a black hole that appeared in the atmosphere. No stars were in view and the moon had been consumed by the thick, passing clouds that decided to topple over it. The silhouette that passed in the night was in the middle of absolutely nowhere. There were no street lights, no passing cars, it was if he was in a world of his own, no sign of human life anywhere to be seen. Had the man actually ran that hard?
He finally sat down on the hard asphalt and put his attention on his wounded arm. Thankfully, the blood had clamped and stopped running. Even though the man was drunk, he was still smart enough to tear off a piece of his nice, probably stolen, dress shirt under his striped, mobster looking jacket. Around and around the injury it went until finally he felt like he could tie it up and not worry about it falling off.
"Great, now what…." He was talking to himself.
The man felt inside his pocket to feel for his wallet and check to see if he had any money with him. Of course, he came out empty handed…money-wise. Instead of a wallet he took out the cell phone he took from one of his men before he escaped the police and ran towards the secret passage he created when he made the cell in his basement.
A thoughtful look pierced the man's irises as he looked at the cell.
"What am I thinking about? Who the hell am I going to call? Everyone's asses are locked up in a jail cell. Unless…"
Dialing could be heard, disturbing the silent world laid out before the man.
"…Hello…"
"Son…I need you to come help your ol' man out."
Kaoru's POV"…about that…You're blind Kaoru…I'm sorry…"
So that's the reason I couldn't see anything but white, that turned into gray and finally went to black permanently.
"Kaoru?"
How could this have happened? Why did I have to go blind? Was God trying to tell me something? Was this my punishment for loving my brother? Not being able to see him? Was that it?
"Kaoru...please listen to me...the doctor said that there is a chance, however rare it may be… that your sight will come back. And no matter what, I'm going to be with you every step of the way alright? " I could sense the quiver in Hikaru's voice and wished I could see him again and just hold him and tell him I'd be alright and so would life. But I can't, not anymore, I can't see him and I can't say it's going to be alright and actually mean it. How am I supposed to know?
I nodded to show him that I heard him and lied my head back on the pillow. I closed my eyes, but it didn't seem any different than just a few minutes ago. How am I going to deal with this? I'm not sure I can cope with the fact I lost my sight. But the doctor said I had a chance to regain my vision, and the doctor wouldn't say that unless he thought I really had a chance…would he?
Hikaru's POV
As I heard my brother's breathing go calm and even , I let his hand go so I could tuck him under the blankets that had fallen down his chest. As I covered him back up, I leant down and gave him a peck on the forehead and just sat there pondering about how he must be feeling. But how can I know? I used to know everything and I used to be able to protect him, no matter what, but how can I exactly protect him from this?
A knock on the door and I saw a young nurse walk into the room. She sort of reminded me of Haruhi, short, brown hair(although it was longer than Haruhi's, this girl could actually pull hers up into a ponytail and have the ponytail touch her shoulders.), big brown irises that stared caringly, and a figure like an hourglass that was hidden underneath the loose clothes she wore.
"Sorry to disturb you, but I'm just in here doing a check-up."
I nodded and she walked over to Kaoru, checking his pulse she wrote down a few numbers.
"I take it he woke up?"
"Yea…"
"Well that is good, better than him being in a coma…he's showing some positive results, better than how he was when he came in."
I think she tried to put a positive on the situation , but I just wasn't exactly in the mood. Sure he was alive, that was plus, but what if he'd rather be dead?
"Hey, are you okay? You don't look so good…" She looked over at me after she changed the medicine that was pumping through Kaoru's veins.
"Yea…just thinking is all…"
"Do you need help? My shift is over, if you want we can grab a coffee downstairs and you can talk about it if you want."
"….sure." Anything was better than sitting here by myself and letting my mind wander to the guilty conscience I keep trying to push back.
"Alright, I've got to make one more stop a few doors down so I'll meet you back here when I'm done Mr. Hitachiin."
"You can call me Hikaru….if you want."
"Alright Hikaru, I, Asaka, will be back in a few!"
When she left I looked back at my twins frail posture lying with his eyes closed, and in what I hoped was a good dreamland.
Whispering to Kaoru , hoping he could hear me in his dream world , I told him I'd be back in a little while. I gave another kiss on his forehead and brushed away the locks that fell on his angelic face. I quietly walked out of the door and into the empty hallway. Silently, I shut the door behind me and waited for the nurse that called herself Asaka.
"See, I told you I'd be here in a few minutes."
Instead of the scrubs she was wearing earlier, she had on a white hoodie with the red cross presented in the middle of it, blue jeans, and a pair of sneakers.
"Oh sorry, I figured I'd head home after we talked , and figured I'd go ahead and change ahead of time before the locker room closed for the night. C'mon, the employers can go ahead and go into the cafeteria."
I followed her into the elevator that had mocked me earlier. It was awkwardly silent, well why wouldn't it be? I was quiet the whole time down and I think she was wanting me to talk first.
"Um…so your brother, he was the one that had the holes everywhere isn't he? The one that was in critical condition? I mean, I know there's a lot of patients that are critically injured, but he stood out from the rest."
I looked at the ground.
"yea…" And guess what lady? It was all my fault! I blamed him for something so stupid, so he decided to go and get a new friend who ended up being a pussy, and though he knew it was wrong and Kaoru would get hurt, the pussy decided to get Kaoru for his drunk of a dad that needs a life, well now he needed to go off and jump from a cliff….but that isn't the point! ME, I did this to him, I made him go blind, I made him be tortured and raped and who knew what the hell else I made happen to him before I got there. Then , because he wanted to protect me , he decided to go and be part of a man slaughtering show, where he would have died had Tamaki and Kyoya not shown with police and an ambulance!
The nurse looked at me and I had balled my hands into fists and was shaking furiously, tears on the verge of falling.
"Listen, I'm sorry if I said something wrong…I was just asking…I'm really sorry."
I shook my head..
"It's not your fault….it's mine I did all this to him…"
"Huh? What are you talking about? I heard…" But before she could say anything more, the dinging of the elevator that announced they were at their destination interrupted her sentence.
I followed her to the cafeteria doors that were locked. She entered a code in and the doors automatically opened, slowly, but they still opened. She gave me a wink and went on into the large room where tables were gathered and a buffet was on both ends of the room.I noticed the room was dark..somewhat and it was completely empty. THe only sounds were the sounds of the coffee machines that brewed the coffee.
"What do you want in your coffee? You do like coffee right? Or what?"
"Yea, just some milk in it please.."
"You got it! Be right back!"
I headed to the closest table towards where the moonlight should've hit, but it seemed the clouds decided to hide the light, making the moon feel blind…just like Kaoru. Except, the clouds that blocked Kaoru's vision would never move like the ones outside will eventually do, allowing the moon to view the world and allow it to see the beauty the world held beneath it.
"In your thoughts again?" The nurse sat in front of me and put her coffee down, along with mine.
I nodded ,"thanks.."
"No problem, so what were you thinking about or is it personal?"
I just gazed at liquid that sat, swirling in front of me and I questioned her..
"What do you think it's like to be blind?"
I think I surprised her with the question because she didn't reply as fast as she usually does.
"Well, I've talked to some of the patients that I took care of and they told me about it. "
"and…?"
"And, most of them were saddened , but they said they get used to it eventually, sure they have to learn to do most things babies know how to , but I read a few books that say blindness allows your senses to get stronger. Like, you focus more and so your hearing ,touching, and smelling senses get better and they act as your sight. So if you can imagine it, it's just like seeing it all over again in your mind."
"…yea , I guess your right…"
"Listen, I don't really know your brother all too well, sure I've heard some stories about the dynamic duo from the famous Ouran Host Club, but I don't know your guys' personality , only what I've heard from patients."
"Wait…how'd you know we were the twins from the host club?"
"How couldn't I know? Amber colored irises that sparkle in the view of one another, spiked orange hair that they part to one side (each one the opposite of the other by the way), an older brother that cares too much for his younger sibling, one that'll do anything to protect the other, one who only focuses on the older and whose world revolves around just the two of them…and did I mention uber dreamy? Haha, that is what I hear from every girl patient that walks in, not to mention my little cousin that lives with me is a big fan of yours !And her older brother talked about your brother a little."
"Heh, I guess I could've figured.."
"Yep! Listen, your brother is lucky to have you…"
"Yeah, sure… I bet he thinks differently...probably wished he never had a brother , that way he wouldn't have to have gone through what he did…"
"This again? Listen, I don't know the whole story, but it can't be your fault. Did you ask for him to go off and get injured like he did?"
"No, but if we hadn't fought he never would have met that Leon -----"
"Wait Leon? Leon what?"
"Leon Medows …why?"
"That's my little cousin, he ran off to his dad even though we told him not to and we haven't heard from him since!"
