Chapter 3 Hospital Visitors
"Hey, Kaitlyn. How are you doing?" Monta asks after walking into the hospital room. Kaitlyn looks up from the book she was reading.
"Okay, I'm just bored and tired more now than ever. How was practice, today?" Kaitlyn asks as she puts her book down with the bookmark to mark where she left off.
"It was fine, until Shin came walking by. He seemed like he was looking for someone," Kurita answered the question for Monta. "Hey, Kaitlyn. Mamori and Hiruma are still at the club house. Sena went home because he became very tired. Komusubi and everyone else went home to do their homework," Kurita continued after a short pause.
"Really? What was going on, at practice?" Kaitlyn asked surprised that everyone didn't come to see her. She looked at both boys. 'They seem very depressed' she thought to herself. "What happened? You both seem like your scared and depressed at the same time. Its bugging the crap out of me," Kaitlyn continued.
"Well, we brought you your homework, for one thing," Monta says while Kurita holds up a couple of school books for her to see. "The other thing is that we were wondering when you met Shin?" Monta asks after a couple of seconds of silence. Kaitlyn looked shocked at Monta and Kurita for a couple of seconds but then regained her composure.
"Why are you asking me this? I only met him yesterday. I was being sexually harassed, he came and stopped them from hurting me any further. Then we bumped into each other later on last night. And I asked him to walk me home just in case," Kaitlyn told them. Just then, they heard Hiruma walking up to the room. It really wasn't that hard to guess it was him, considering all the gunshots being heard. The door opened suddenly and Hiruma walked in with a gun in hand.
"How you doing, fucking little sister?" Hiruma says as he puts his gun away. He gives her his devilish grin while she replies with a scowl on her face.
"Why can't you be a normal older brother? Youichi you know you aren't allowed to have guns in the hospital. Oh yeah, you haven't told me about Suzuna, Monta and Kurita. How is she?" Kaitlyn says as she throws death glares at him. He ignores them like he has ever since their mother died. After realizing that the death glares aren't really working, she turns to face Monta and Kurita for their answer.
"Well, she wanted to come but her brother is being an idiot. Her brother apparently forgot what he was going to do, so she decided to help him remember," Kurita answers.
"So, everyone knows about me being here?" Kaitlyn asks worried that everyone isn't doing what they say they were going to do. She looks at Monta who just shook his head yes. So what has been happening outside of the hospital?" she asks trying to lighten up the mood.
"Well, the same. Everything is still the same. Well, besides you being here, anyways," Hiruma replies with his unusual poker face. "Oh, yeah. Shin came by and asked where you were," he says after remembering what had happened during practice.
"What did you tell him?" Kaitlyn asks hoping Hiruma didn't do something or say something stupid. She looked at him and didn't get an answer, she turned to face the other two hoping to get an answer.
"Well, we told him the truth. You were in the hospital for a couple of more days," Monta answers her question. He looks at her in disbelief that she got excited all of a sudden.
"Did you tell him what room I'm in?" she asks a little too excited that he had wanted to see her again.
"Umm…. Yeah, we did. Are you really going to expect him to come?" Kurita says a little nervously. Kaitlyn looks at him with a little sadness in her beautiful eyes.
"No, but I'm really happy that he tried to come and see me. The thing that makes me really happy is the thought, nothing else. So when I heard he asked to see me, it reminds me that I still can make friends and not just enemies, like my brother," Kaitlyn responds with a sparkle in her eyes and a kind smile. Kurita and Monta smiled warmly back at her. Monta looked at the time and realized it was getting very late.
"Whoa, its late. Max!" Monta says as he jumps up. He looks at Kaitlyn as she nods saying its alright.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then," Kaitlyn says as Monta and Kurita left the room. When they were completely out of the room, she turned to her brother. "When are you planning on going home, Youichi nii-san?" Kaitlyn looks at him expecting to answer.
"Soon. But the doctors told me that they were having a trouble time with you," Hiruma responds. He gives her a stern look while she just looks out the window.
"Really? I have been having nightmares lately. Its weird," She replies to her older brother. She looks back at him while he looks out the window. She grabs the book she put down a while ago. She opens it to the place where she left off, and started to read. "Oh, one more thing, why did you tell Shin I was in the hospital?" she asked when she remembered Monta and Kurita hesitating to tell her if they told him which room she is in. Just before he could answer they heard a knock on the door.
"Who the fuck is it?" Hiruma answered annoyed. He walked over to the door and opened it up. Shin walks in with Otawara, Sakuraba and Takami. Shin looked like his usual self, while the other three came in nervous because they didn't know who Kaitlyn is. When they walked in, they saw Kaitlyn sitting up reading on the hospital bed. When she heard Hiruma walk away from the door, she looked up and saw it was Shin and a couple of his other friends.
"Oh hello again, Shin," Kaitlyn says as she put her bookmark where she stopped again. Shin nods his head replying with a hello. Kaitlyn looks at the other boys that were with Shin. "Hi, I'm Hiruma, Kaitlyn. Its nice to meet you," she says to the other boys.
"I'm Takami, the quarterback for the White Knights. This is Sakuraba, and Otawara," Takami says while pointing at each boy. "Its nice to meet you," Takami continues. Kaitlyn smiles as she shakes hands with each boy in turn.
"What positions are Otawara and Sakuraba? If I may ask," Kaitlyn says after shaking hands with them. She looks at them with her best inviting smile. Hiruma just stands in the corner, deciding on whether to leave or to stay. In the end, he just gets up and walks up to the door. Kaitlyn sees her brother leaving and calls out to him. "Yoichi nii-san! Where are you going?" she asks him as he shuts the door behind him. 'I can't believe he ignored me,' Kaitlyn thought.
"I'm the wide receiver for the same team," Sakuraba says after that weird encounter with Hiruma. He smiles back at her. She looks at the door and realized why Hiruma left. When she turned her attention to Otawara, he was confused at why she was looking at him. Then he remembered the question she had asked earlier.
"I'm the center of the defense line," Otawara says in his unnatural voice. He was looking at all the machines when he said this.
"Oh, wow. I actually saw one game when you were against my brother's team. It was really interesting, tactics you used. My older brother always found a way to counter the tactics," Kaitlyn says as she remembers that game. Just then another knock on the door was heard. "Yes?" she asks through the closed door.
"Its Mamori. May I come in?" Mamori says through the door.
"Yes." Kaitlyn responds to the question. Mamori opens the door and walks in. Mamori was very surprised that the Oujou White Knights were there visiting her.
"Hey, I came to see how you were doing. I just saw Hiruma leave the hospital, and I was wondering why. But now I see why he left so abruptly.
"We need to get going, see you later Kaitlyn. We promise to come visit you whenever we have a chance to see you," Shin says with such easiness and with practically no emotion. Sakuraba, Takami, and Ootawara waved good-bye to her and left, following Shin. When the door closed behind them, Mamori turned to look at Kaitlyn who was back to reading the book, Mamori gave her.
"How many times have you read that book?" Mamori asks out of curiosity.
"About 25 times. Its my absolute favorite book," Kaitlyn responds. She put the bookmark down. "Hey could you help me with my homework that everyone brought me. They came before my brother did and gave me the homework," Kaitlyn says after a little bit. Mamori nods her head and helps with the homework. After that, it was getting pretty late, that Mamori said good-night and left.
