Fourth Chapter up. I just couldn't wait any longer. I actually surprised myself with typing this up so fast. O.o
I STILL don't own anything.
Anyways...Enjoy. ^_^
"Ayase." Kanou whispered, moving in closer to the injured boy. He felt Ayase squirm slightly beneath him, before gasping. The heart rate on the monitor began to beep faster than usual.
Kanou cradled the back of Ayases' head in one of his hands, his soft golden locks flowing in between the mans fingers, while the other held the chin of the boy on the bed beside him. Slowly he brought his lips to his lovers', gently brushing them against the soft pink ones. Ayases' lips parted, trying to breath but couldn't, though at that point he really didn't want to. Still, he was getting faint.
The steady beat of the monitor began to speed up, accelerating wildly when Kanous' tongue grazed against Ayases'. Ayase broke away, panting, a very, very slight blush on his cheeks in place of the usual scarlet tone he got when kissed among other things. Kanou wondered if that was due to the blood loss.
"Kanou-San." Ayase said, attempting to reach up and put his small arms around the neck of the larger man, but finding himself unable to do it when the pain laced throughout his body. It went from a trail that ended in his back and began from everywhere else. He felt fatigued, and weary. But mostly, it was painful. After a second, Ayase wrapped his head around what happened before seeing Kanou-San. His trying to save a woman got her stabbed and Kuba-San shot.
"It hurts, Kanou." He said before whimpering. "And I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, please don't be angry with me. I didn't mean for all of this to happen. But the woman would've died. And Kuba-san he got sho-" He stopped, his throat feeling like wet sandpaper and began coughing and gasping for air. Tears formed in his eyes, and he fell forward slightly. Kanous' arm darted out in front of Ayase to steady him and Ayase took it, grateful for the support and grateful that he could be closer to Kanou.
"Ayase, " Kanou began a little darkly, catching him with his arm, "Do you even know the extent of your injuries? I don't think you have even the slightest chance of time to go and worry about somebody else but yourself."
Ayase furrowed his brow groggily, his eyes drooping, as a confused look crossed his face. "What d' you mean Kanou- San?"
"You died, Ayase." Kanou said tightly pinching the bridge of his nose again with his free hand, trying to calm himself. His anger was not needed right now, it would upset Ayase.
"I-I'm dead?" He asked, his eyes tearing up again.
"No, you are alive, they were able to restart your heart, but you are still really bad." He replied. Kanou looked down at his dearest angel dreading anything that included him with death.
Ayase started. "W-what-"
"First, "Kanou cut off, "you have a large slice that is over a foot long going from the top of your left shoulder all the way to your left hip. It's stitched up now, but you are still in danger of it getting infected. Second, you are dehydrated and slightly malnourished. Did you even eat yesterday?" Ayase gripped Kanous' arm harder, a feeble tremor going through his frail body.
"I-I can't s-seem to remember, K-Kanou-San. sorry." He whispered, hanging his head.
"Well that explains it." Kanou scowled at the wall, like it was the one who didn't make sure Ayase ate. "Third, You are hooked up in wires and needles. You are on antibiotics, water, oxygen, and you are sill hooked up to emergency blood. I'm wondering how many transfusions you had to get." Ayases' eyes widened and his body became deathly still. "Ayase? Are you ok?"
Ayase instantly became aware of all the wires attached to him. He looked down to his right arm and saw a needle in the top of his hand as well as one in the crook of his arm. On his finger was a little clip, and when he came to think of it, he felt a cold tube hooking around his head that lead to his nose, supplying oxygen to his body. Suddenly, he could feel all the fine tips of the needles like ice where they were in his body. He started to breath faster, and once again the heart monitor started rapidly beeping.
"They- they're in my veins! K-Kanou-San, they-get them out!" Ayase said in a high pitched voice that clearly stated he was in freak out mode. He gasped. "They're in my body!" He moved to rip them out, and began to try and scratch them out.
"O-oi! Ayase! Calm down!" Kanou said, shocked at the revelation that Ayase was scared of needles, and that he was having a nervous breakdown. "You'll die if you take off of those tubes!" Kanou shouted, hardly being able to believe that Ayase had enough energy to even sit up slightly. He attempted to restrain Ayase, but could not do so without injuring the poor biy worse than he already was. He pressed the 'help' button on the side of the bed as the last resort.
Almost immediately, Yuna and Soren threw open the door. Instantly, Yuna began barking orders at her husband, stating numerous conditions Ayase was in. Kanou began to hear things all at once.
"Get it off! Kanou-San, get it off!" Ayase began to scream.
"Heart rate has increased, he is in risk of heart failure if he keeps this up, he doesn't have enough blood in his body for this activity. Patient is also in risk of damaging veins, dehydration, lack of oxygen and tearing of the new sewing on his back, the wound could reopen and he could bleed to death. Soren, get the medicine into the water. NOW! Kanou, restrain him. "She said quickly but firmly. Kanou moved to hold Ayase down to the bed, but Ayase cried out in pain, so Kanou let up.
Soren moved to one side of the room, coming back to the other side of it with an injector, but Ayase had succeeded in taking out the needle connected to the inside of his elbow supplying him with water.
"Shit! Soren, he's disconnected the water supply. Get the shot." As soon as she said it, Soren tossed her the needle. She caught it and took the lid off, and Ayase began shaking.
"N-no more needles. Please! Ayase shouted and leaned to far to the side, falling off the side of the bed, taking Kanou with him. Kanou landed underneath Ayase, taking the worst of the fall. He heard the crash of the oxygen machine falling over and the wheels for the blood supply slide across the floor and hit the bed.
"Kanou, you damned brat, get out of here!" Yuna said, angrily as he stood up, standing Ayase up with him.
Ayases' head was spinning and he felt sick again. The nausea threaten to double him over, and he felt his wound rip open a little bit, allowing blood to spill once again, but when he heard Yuna telling Kanou to get out, his adrenalin spiked again. He grabbed onto Kanous' torso and held on as tightly as he could, feeling the skin on his back rip and give was to more bleeding.
"NO! KANOU, DON'T LEAVE,ONIGAISHI!-huu-uu." Soren had given the shot to Ayase.
"Don't worry, I didn't do anything except give him a dose of sleeping medicine. He just feinted is all." Said Soren. Ayases' eyes closed once again, the tears finally spilling over his pale white face. Soren pulled the needle out from the middle of Ayases' spine, and Kanou cursed. Ayases' legs gave out and he began to fall. Kanou caught him gently and picked him up, carrying him to the hospital bed. There was a new flurry of activity, but it was noticeably quieter than what had just transpired.
"Soren, I'll need to reattach his water and oxygen. Also, get me some more blood from the emergency stores. Also, get me some clensing sponges and the sewing equipment. While you are at the emergency stores, tell everyone we have this handled. I don't want any more assistance it will only get in the way. Hurry."
"Ayase. Is Ayase ok?" Kanou asked his voice strained.
"Not really." Yuna said, her face annoyed and barely angry. Kanou became pale. "But we will make him ok. I need you to go out to the waiting room, but first I have some questions. Do you know why he got up? Did you wake him up? That should have been both physically and mentally impossible. And he shouldn't have had an adrenalin rush; there is a higher risk of a heart attack or heart failure. He is not well."
"No I don't think I woke him up. I was just holding his hand and talking to him." He said.
"Ok. Now go. Don't expect to get in here when we are done with him tonight. Or tomorrow. You should probably just go home." She said nonchalantly.
Kanous' withheld anger spiked. "The hell I'll go home. I refuse to leave this hospital!"
"Fine have it your way, go sleep in the chairs or something. I don't really care. Just get out of here, your anger isn't needed at the moment. Now go."
"When can I see him again?" He asked, trying unsuccessfully to calm himself for the sake of Ayase.
"When I deign it is appropriate for you to see him." She retorted back.
Kanou glared daggers at her. He really did respect her, it was just that their personalities clashed a bit sometimes. He turned to walk out of the door, but not before throwing one last longing glance back at Ayase, his beloved angel hooked up in wires, fighting for his very life. Just when he walked through the door, Soren walked through too.
"There is news on the girl he was protecting. Go look into it, and it should take your mind off of this for a bit." Soren said while closing the door.
"...Yeah." He said slowly. As soon as he heard the audible 'click' of the door, he took out his cell phone and dialed Homare-Kubas' number. It began to ring.
"Shachou." It was a statement more than a question. "What room is that woman in?"
"7000. All the way on the other side of the campus. I am here right now, so I will get Misao to come and get you." Homare said.
"Good." Was Kanous' only response before hanging up. Three minutes later, Misao rounded the corner and greeted him with the same response.
"Shachou." He affirmed. "It's right this way."
Kanou followed behind as Misao lead him outside and to another building. Finally after going inside and outside of about two more buildings, they were in an elevator.
"How is Ayase?" Misao asked, concerned for the petite blond.
"He is recovering." Kanou answered. He didn't lie, he just didn't tell the whole truth. Besides, Ayase really was recovering.
"I see." Misao said back. The elevator opened at the top floor and Kuba led Kanou to the end of the hallway. They were about to go into room 7000 when Homare came out.
"Shachou. She has not woken up yet, but we are permitted special access for the remainder of her stay." He stated.
"And she is?" Kanou asked rather annoyed. Homare looked perplexed before answering.
"Her name is-"
