A/N: Yahoo! I should be asleep right now since I have school tomorrow, but I decided to risk my sleep and upload this chapter right now, for you guys! :D Don't you feel so loved? Well thank you everyone for the reviews! I was so haaaaaaaaaappy! :D So here ya go!
"Can't you drive any faster?" Rima asked sternly while staring out the window. She watched the rain drops race down the window. When Rima got her composure together her and Kukai immediately got into the car and were headed to the hospital.
"I'm trying." Kukai glared at the traffic ahead of them. The hospital was so close yet so far away and the thunder made her cringe. Another strike of lightning flashed from the distance, and the rain was pouring harder than ever.
Rima took a shaky breath, and promised herself that she would be strong and not cry anymore. She had to be strong because that's what Nagihiko would want her to do.
"Oh come on!" Kukai slammed his hand on the steering wheel as a car swerved and cut him off. Rima began nibbling on her nails nervously, as she watched Kukai from the corner of her eye. She's never really seen him this pissed and it made her feel uneasy.
After about twenty minutes they both hopped out the car and ran through the down pour into the hospital. The entrance doors slid open and they quickly made their way inside. The hospital looked really eerie and worn down. It smelled like old paint, and the tiles across the floor were chipped.
Kukai strides over to the lady at the counter and asked her, where the emergency facility is. She gave lousy directions, but they had to work with it. After two flights of stairs, and a creepy elevator they made it. The lights in the hallways were dimmed almost to pitch black. Making it seem like a horror movie. They both listened for the echoes of the footsteps and followed it until they reached another secretary. This lady was a bit older and was madly typing away on the keyboard.
"Can we speak to the doctor that is in charge tonight?" Kukai asked. The lady pushed her orange glasses to the bridge of the nose, and glanced at Kukai then at Rima. She leaned over her desk to get a closer look at the blonde.
"Are you Mashiro Rima?"
Rima slowly nodded.
"Oh, why didn't you say so? I'm the one that made the call about Fujisaki Nagihiko." Rima just nodded again looking down at her shoes.
The lady picked up the cordless phone and called a doctor's name to come here as soon as possible.
"Have a seat."
Kukai sat on a nearby armchair, and Rima sat across from him. Endless minutes passed and both could hear loud footsteps and shuffling of papers. Kukai turned his head behind him and saw an older looking doctor. He had the signature white over coat and pants, with a clipboard in his hands. He flipped over a few pages and read what was written on the paper.
"Mashiro Rima…and?" He directed his pause at Kukai, and he responded, "Souma Kukai." The doctor's dark mustache moved when he spoke. He cleared his throat awkwardly,
"Fujisaki-san is not in the best condition right now. As I had the nurse inform you on the phone that he got hit by a car. We are still running fluids in him and giving him plenty of oxygen…"
"How-"
Kukai was rudely caught off and the doctor began walking away, "You must have many questions that I cannot answer at the moment. I will return shortly."
"Can I see him?" Rima stood up on her tip toes trying to look past the emergency entrance but the doctor laid a hand her back and guided her into a room.
"Just wait here and we'll inform you when we find out more."
"But!"
"I have many patients to go to; it may be a long while until you see him again."
"I don't care I just need to see him!"Rima angrily shouted.
"Until then." The doctor stepped away and jogged down the dark hollow hall.
"What a jackass." Kukai stepped past Rima and entered the room which looked like a model of a living room. It had two sets of blue couches, a glass table and a few chairs along the left side of the wall. Above the chairs was a long window where you could see the lights to the city.
An old TV was along the other side if the wall. A cold draft came from the window as Kukai shivered and sat on a chair, rubbing his hands together to keep warm.
The room consisted of coconut which made Rima's noise wrinkle. She held in her tears. She had to keep that promise.
Both weren't keeping track of the time and neither did they care. They just waited endlessly for the doctor to come back in. None of them shared a word. Words weren't invited into the room. A clock hung above the TV and ticked quietly.
Rima heard familiar voices echo throughout the hall. She got up and peeked out the door as Amu and Yaya walked in, "Rima!" They both shouted as Yaya hugged Rima. Rima pulled away from the warm embrace. "I don't want a hug."
Amu had worried eyes and her eyes wandered off to Kukai and she felt even sadder as he just stared out the window.
"I'll only cry, and I need to be stronger," Yaya noticed the hint of shakiness in Rima's voice.
"Nagi will be okay." Yaya started to say, "And..."
Amu waved her hands around to signal Yaya to stop talking. Yaya felt the dreariness trap the room, and she went over to Kukai "Hug!" He returned the hug unlike Rima, and gently patted her back. Yaya made an excuse to get out,
"I need to use the potty."
As for Amu she felt sick when she heard the news, but decided to hide her feelings and try to lighten up the mood. As soon as she was about to speak,
a throat clearing could be heard and all turned their heads to see the doctor.
"I was supposed to inform this earlier," The doctor stared at everyone who has their eyes glued onto him and he continued,
"If Fujisaki hadn't jumped in front of the car a young boy would have been in his place right now." The doctor examined the clipboard and walked out the room again, "The younger boy would like to speak to you."
Rima pointed at herself, and the doctor nodded.
"Where's the boy?"
The doctor turned spun on his heel and stated, "In the other waiting room answering a few questions."
"Well, right this way." Rima got up and motioned Amu to follow her. On their way to the other room Yaya walked out the ladies room and she asked, "Where you guys going?"
Amu smiled, "Don't worry about it." As they passed the made it to the next room and the doctor pointed ahead and was on his way back to the office.
The door was left open, which both girls decided to accept the welcome. The first thing that caught Rima's eye was bright lifeless blue eyes. She'd recognize those eyes anywhere. Especially with the bleach blonde ruffled hair. Was she dreaming again? Was this that same boy that she keeps running into?
"You!" Rima ran up to him and was about to grab him by the shirt when Amu yanked her arm trying to hold her back.
"You set this up! It's your entire fault!" She shouted. "Rima what's with you?" Amu shouted back at her.
"What do you want from me?" Rima's eyes began to sting. "Don't just sit there, answer me!" The boy sat there just staring at Rima.
A slap was heard throughout the room as Utau held up her hand from the following slap.
Rima's cheek was stained red and she fell to the ground and glanced at the boy and she shook her head.
"Utau when did you get here?" Amu asked and was still shock from her sudden scene.
"That's that stupid kid that told me that jumbled up stuff!" Rima pointed a shaky finger at him.
A few nurses rushed in from the commotion.
The eldest nurse gave Rima a warning, "Please calm yourself, if you don't we'll have to ask you to leave."
Rima slowly got up and turned to walk out,
"Be careful." The boy whispered loud enough for only Rima to hear. Her heart pounded so hard she felt it in her ears. "Yeah, I'll be careful of you."
She fled down the hall; she had to find a way to get away from the boy as soon as possible. She felt a weird presence around him, it made her feel weak. He kept turning up like a bad cough. She tried to convince herself it was karma for something she's donein the past. But she couldn't think of what she's done to deserve this.
'Could it be a curse?' she answered that question herself- a definite no. She's never believed in that nonsense from the start.
Rima made a quick turn and almost ran into a patient. The adrenaline pumped in her veins. She apologized as the tears just spilled down like an over flowing glass of water.
'I'm sorry, Nagihiko.'
She barged into the room and noticed Kukai just staring into space. He wasn't even aware of her presence. She didn't care whether he was there or not she just sobbed until her shoulders were shaking. She collapsed on one of the filthy couches.
She brought her knees against her chest and hugged them firmly. No one could break the grip she had. Rima curled up into a ball.
Amu finally caught up to Rima, she hated seeing her best friend like this. She settled down on the couch next to Rima and hugged her tightly. Seeing her friend cry made her eyes fill with water, and she joined in with the crying. She couldn't hide her feelings anymore either.
The doors burst open, and Hanako stood there panicking,
"How's my baby?" Her eyes were red from holding in her tears as well. But she still
looked the calmest out of everyone.
Kukai rose up and pulled her aside to explain everything the doctor had informed him about.
Hanako just kept nodding while clutching onto her purse. After she heard everything her eyes glanced off till she spotted Rima sitting on the sofa. She rushed over and sunk into the couch, "Rima honey," She wrapped her arms around the younger girls shoulder and leaned in her ear and spoke quietly, "Don't worry Nagihiko is going to be fine."
When there was no response Hanako continued talking, "He isn't going to let an accident stop him. I raised him better than that. He's strong and will fight this. He's not going anywhere, so please don't worry anymore."
There was silence and Hanako rubbed Rima's back for support.
It was muffled but Hanako could still hear her voice clearly, "How do you know?"
Hanako smiled, "I have a strong feeling."
The doors opened again and everyone turned around but Rima.
'Too many interruptions.' Amu thought. She began thinking the doors would be broken by the following morning.
The doctor held his clipboard and said, "Can I speak to someone?" Hanako immediately stood up and walked right over. "I'm his mother."
"His condition is doing better. He lost a massive amount of blood. He has a blood type A. Do you have blood type A?"
Hanako shook her head, "No…"
Amu who has been eavesdropping quickly volunteered. "I have blood type A!"
The doctor nodded, "Right this way."
Amu followed the doctor but stopped abruptly as soon as she heard a "Thank you."
The pink haired girl smiled, "Of course, Nagi is one of my best friends. I'll do anything to help." Rima slowly nodded.
Yaya was the next to slam the doors open, and walked over to sit by the sobbing girl."Rima!" She scooted next to the girl. "I got you a present!"
When there was no movement Yaya opened her candy bar and teased, "Mhmmm this is so yummy!" She looked at Rima from the corner of her eye but still there was no sound.
"Chocolate is so good!" Yaya sighed that it wasn't working and just admitted defeat, "Look, I got you a chocolate bar! Do you want it?" Yaya's giddy personality wasn't working. Nothing could lighten up the mood.
A bang was heard as Yaya and Hanako noticed Kukai's chair had fallen over. He snatched his keys on a table stand and shrugged into jacket.
"Kukai hun, where are you going?" Hanako looked worried. Kukai sounded annoyed, "I need time to think."
"Kukai..." Yaya frowned as she watched Kukai leave the room.
Everyone soon realized Rima wasn't the only one that was really freaking out. Nagihiko is Kukai's best friend. He was hurting just as bad.
Silence hung over the small room. Hanako was watching a soap opera on TV. While Rima and Yaya were still in the same position.
It felt like an eternity. Time wasn't moving. And if it was, it wasn't fast enough. Everything was unreal. This incident was really happening. This wasn't a dream it was reality and no one could change what already happened.
The clock struck loudly, it was about one in the morning, when Amu came back into the room.
She had a band aid strapped on her upper arm, and a lollipop.
"It hurt!" she complained and sat on a comfy green chair. She grabbed a wool blanket in the storage closet and snuggled against it.
Yaya ignored her presence and continued playing a game on her phone.
"Why is it so dead in here?" All the heads snapped behind them to see the model thin blonde walk in.
"Great choice of words." Amu whispered sarcastically to Utau. "Where have you been?"
Utau ignored the boring question and her heels clicked and she stood in front of Rima.
"Get your ass up. Don't be so damn depressed. Everything will be fine."
Rima peeked her eyes from behind her knees. Utau got down at her level. "Cheer up. How about a game?"
"Yay! Game! Game!" Of course, the youngest redhead agreed to it.
Rima just stared.
"Come on," Utau grabbed Rima's arm and lifted her up on her feet. Her eyes were puffed up and her pale face had pink blotches scattered all over.
"What game? What game?" Yaya jumped up and down.
"Let's play doctor."
Amu chimed in, "You don't mean, dress up as nurses?"
"Exactly." Utau smirked.
"You're crazy!" Amu screeched.
"Oh doesn't that just sound like fun?" Hanako joined in the conversation and smiled wide.
"We can get arrested for that..." Rima mumbled.
"It's fun to be mischievous once in a while." Hanako encouraged.
"You approve?" Amu's mouth dropped.
"Didn't you say you would feel better if you could just look at Nagihiko, instead of the doctor telling you crap?" Rima shrugged, "Yeah."
"Just watch out for the doctor that's been talking to us." Hanako added.
"Why is everyone ignoring me?" Amu grabbed the top of her head and spun around confused.
Yaya, Utau, and Hanako all grinned.
"I'm staying out…I'm scared." Amu confessed and went back to sit to hide under the covers.
"Fine, just me, you, and Yaya."
Yaya continued bouncing.
"Where will we get the costumes?" Yaya scratched her head.
"Oh, I just stopped by the laundry area and picked up a few things." Utau reached in her bag and took out a few nurse gowns with white caps.
Yaya shot another question,
"What about our hair?" She tugged at the ends of her pigtails.
"You don't think I've thought about that?" Utau pulled a wig with long indigo blue hair, a wig with short black hair and a tomato red wig. "I got these in the kid playing area."
"Wow Utau you're so smart!" Yaya eyes sparked as she examined the wigs.
"Time to put these to good use. Let's get changed!" Utau snatched Rima and Yaya's hand and dragged them out the door.
"You girls have fun now." Hanako smirked mischievously and looked at Amu who was staring in disbelief.
"Yeah..." Amu agreed subconsciously. She pulled the blanket above her head and faced away from Nagihiko's mom.
"Just when I thought she was normal." She muttered to herself afraid to turn around.
