Author's note - Okay! I finally finished chapter three.

"I can see my sister today?." I asked. It was my third week in the hospital, and I was anxious

Rin nodded her head. "Yes, she'll be here soon."

I looked at her eyes. They were fixed on my wrists, obviously she was staring at the several scars that were inflicted upon them. I quickly cover them up and stutter. "S-so...do you have any siblings?."

She shook her head and looked up to my eyes. "No...I'm an only child. I'm adopted, and they say my Mother can't have children." She then glanced at her watch. "Fifteen more minutes until you can see her again."

We stayed silent for a few more moments before I asked her another question. "Do you have a Boyfriend?."

Why the hell did I ask her that?. She wasn't my type, and I was pretty sure that suicidal boys weren't her turn-on.

"Oh..." The color in her cheeks raised. "...no. I don't have a Boyfriend, and my parents are way to strict to let me have one anyway."

I turn a light pink with her.

Why am I asking the questions? She's the consular!

Her watch beeped a few times. "Oh, it's time to see your Sister!." She stood up and took my hand to lead the way.

Shortly after going down a few halls we reached a large set of doors with the words. "Visitors." on it. "I'll help you look for her when we get in." She pushed open the doors and walked me in.

"Kohaku!." Sango's voice rang throughout the Visiting room as she rushed over to me and gave a bone-crushing hug to my body.

"S-Sango!." I choked out, gasping for air as she let go.

Miroku quickly followed after Sango and smiled at me. Miroku must have noticed Rin standing behind me, since the next thing he did was wrap his arm around my neck and bring me closer to whisper; "So...who is that pretty Lady?."

I raised an eyebrow and laughed. "My consular..."

"I don't think we've met before." Rin said, sticking out her hand. "Even though I'm his consular, I'm normally not the one who takes the patients to see family members. My name is Rin Sakaru."

Sango and Miroku shook her hand with cheerful smiles.

"Have you hit on her yet?." Miroku leaned in again after shaking Rin's hand.

I shook my head. "Not unless I want my ass kicked by her Parents or the Staff."

Miroku grinned as we sat down at the nearby seating.

"Well do you want to-.."

"How are the Wedding plans going?"

If there was one thing I didn't want to talk about during their visit, it was about my thoughts on woman or anything related to them.

Miroku frowned. "It's going great, I guess. Sango always has Kikyou and Kagome come over so she can talk about the Perfect Wedding she wants."

I glanced at my sister. She was now showing Rin pictures.

Why is she showing her pictures?

"You know Kohaku...Sango isn't the religious type, but she's started praying everyday and night for your safety and that you come home soon." I glanced back at her, now she was pointing at one of the photos.

"Really? Sango is one of the last people I see praying."

Miroku nodded. "Yeah...she won't let me in the bedroom while she does it, but I always hear what she says."

I looked down at my scared wrists this time. "She misses me that much?."

Miroku nodded again. "Yeah...the first night she left you there, she spent the whole night crying in my arms and all she said was 'I want my brother back.' She acted as though you died."

If she acted that way when I go away to a Hospital...I'd hate to see what it's like when I do die...

I sit up properly. "You can tell Sango that I'll be coming home soon!." Miroku smiled and patted my back.

"Good."

Sango and Rin walked over to us. "Can I have Kohaku to myself for a little while?."

Miroku nodded and took Rin to another nearby seating area.

"Do you like it here?." She asked, her head down.

"Yeah, I guess it's okay...Rin is probably the only thing good about this place."

She stayed silent. "So...what were you talking to Rin about?."

Sango then picked up her head. "Oh... I was just asking her some questions about how you are and showing her pictures from before..." She stopped as a few tears dripped down the side of her face. I wasn't sure what to say next. I patted her back, hoping it would make her stop.

"It's okay..."

She stopped crying and hugged me. "I miss you at home..."

"Yeah...I'm aware...Miroku says that you started praying for me."

She nodded and held me tighter. "It's because I want you to stay safe...and come back home."

I glanced back to Miroku and Rin. She had a huge smile on her face as she rushed out of the visiting room.

"Come back really soon...and not start the cutting again...please?." I stayed silent. "Please?." She hissed in my ear. "Yes...I'll come back soon..."

"Um, I'm sorry to interrupt..."

We looked up to see Miroku towering above us."Rin says she's going to talk to Kohaku's doctors if they think he's ready to leave."

Sango stood up, nearly knocking me to the ground. "Really? He can come home? Today maybe?."

"Really, I can go home?."

Rin nodded again. "Yes..." She seemed sadden by this news.

"What's wrong?."

She twirled her foot around. "Nothing, things like this make me sad because it's a happy moment."

It makes her sad because it's a happy moment?

I shook it off. "Maybe I can ask Sango if I can give you my number and you can come over for dinner one day with your Parents?."

She picked up her head and smiled. "Oh! Yes! That would be fun!."

Several moments later, I was back into my regular clothes.

Much better!

I thought as I slipped into my jeans and black Tee-shirt.

I walked out of the front doors with Rin. "You're the first Patient we've had that has leaved in three weeks."

"Really?" I said in disbelief.

"Yes...some of the Patients have been here for Three years...it's sad..."

She forced a smile on her face. "Your sister already gave me your number and address."

I shoved my hands into my pockets. "Oh...okay...well I'll expect a call from you soon then?." She frowned as we reached the car.

"Well, bye Rin."

She wrapped her arms around me. "Bye Kohaku."

W-what? She...she's hugging me!

I turned red as I hugged her back. "Don't worry...I do this when I say good-bye to someone.."

I tightened the hug and pulled her closer to me.

"Smile!." The flash of a camera blinded me for a moment. Rin and I pulled away, rubbing our eyes from the light impact.

"Argh...Miroku...why are you taking pictures?." I say in annoyance.

Miroku smiled and took another. "Because it's fun!." I would have rolled my eyes but they were in pain from the flash from the second photo taken. I never did understand him anyway.

Sango shortly afterwards came out of the Hospital and got into the car. "Come on Kohaku!. It's a two hour drive home."

I see Rin wave good-bye to me one more time, as our car speeds out of the drive way.

I pulled out my CD player, which seemed to have been in the same spot where my sister left it the day I left. "Ah...music..." I set the sound to an appropriate level. For a change my mind wasn't focused on the Music, it was focused on something else. I shook my head and turned up the music louder, hoping that would drown out the thought.

Sango took my headphones off. "Come on...you just got out of the Hospital..."

"So?." I was lost from her point.

Sango smiled and ran her fingers through my head like she used to when I was younger. "Take it easy..."

I was more confused. "Um...okay..."

I'll never understand girls..I am taking it easy to what I could do!...

She ran her fingers through once more before turning around.

I placed my headphones back on and closed my eyes. Softly once again, banging my head to the beat of the music. In the middle of the next song I heard a faint.

"Miroku! Watch out!." And then an impact.

It felt like my body was being pushed together and I couldn't breath. I then felt as though our car was rolling over. The car seemed to be upside down, as the feeling of blood rushing to my head gave me that thought. I kept my eyes shut, in horror of what I might find. I struggled and moved my arms around to stop the surviving CD player.

"S-...Sango!." I coughed out, hoping she would answer me.

"Kohaku...?." Miroku answered me, not Sango.

"Are...you okay?." I coughed out again.

"Yes!...I'm fine...what about Sango?."

Shortly after I said her name, she gave a sharp moan of pain. I sighed with relief. The pain of the blood rush to my head was unbearable, I undid my seatbelt and fell to the roof with a loud thud. "Ah!..." I looked down at my legs. The right one felt to be broken.

Sango and Miroku undid their seatbelts and fell with a thud shortly after, they both screamed in pain as well.

"S-sister, what happend?."

Once again, Miroku answered me. "We were driving...and it...seems like someone purposely tried to make..."

I didn't hear the last of his sentence. I closed my eyes and fell asleep, hoping that when I woke up, I'd be back in that Hospital and Rin would be coming to take care of me.

"Take them to the nearest Hospital, these wounds are bad!."

"But Sir, the nearest Hospital isn't a Hospital that wi-."

"Just do it!."

"Sir!."

I heard voices and the sound of people running around. I slowly opened up my eyes and coughed out for my sister.

"Don't worry, your sister will be fine. She's in an Ambulance that will take her to the nearest hospital." A young woman's voice filled my ease a little. I winced in pain and grabbed onto the woman's hand.

"It's going to hurt yes. Can you tell me your name?."

I breathed heavier. "Kohaku...Anberu."

She nodded as we both entered the back of an Ambulance. "Alright, Kohaku we're taking you to a Hospital."

I nodded my head as far as it would let me go.

The nurse cut open my jeans and examined my right leg. She gave a small gasp and grabbed some water.

"This might hurt..." She then poured some water onto my leg, washing off the lose blood. I wince and bite on my lower lip.

"I'm going to mend your leg...try to do whatever you can to bare with the pain."

I clenched my fists and bit my lip as she then began to work on me.

"I've done all I can, Kohaku." She said a few moments later as she dried her hands off with a towel. "Take these pain killers...they'll help in a big way." She hoisted up my head and helped me intake the medicine. She smiled at me and put the medicine away.

"Don't worry, we'll be at the Hospital soon."

I close my eyes and tilt my head back. "When...we get to the Hospital...can...you call Rin Sakaru?..."

She turned to face me. "Who?."

"R-Rin Sakaru. My consular at the hospital I just came from..." I felt the medicine working in. She nodded.

"Yes, I'll find her number and let her know where you are."

Rin's POV

"Hello, Sakaru residence?." I answer the phone, just barley making it before the answering machine did.

"Hello, is Rin there?." A woman's voice on the other end replied.

"Yes, speaking."

"I'm a nurse from the North Tokyo Hospital and I'm calling to inform you that your friend, Kohaku Anberu was recently admitted in."

The smile I had on my face was immediately went away.

"I-is he alright? When can I see him?." I frantically replied back to her

"Tomorrow afternoon. I have to get back to work now, nice talking to you Miss Sakaru."

She hung up the phone and left me with the blank face.

"Rin, hunny, what's wrong?." My mom asked, walking into the sitting room.

"It's nothing...um...I'm going to my room...please don't bother me." I hung up the phone and rushed to my bedroom.

I made it seem like I big deal. Why did I worry about him in a way that I felt like I was going to cry?. I grabbed my nearby stuffed animal and held it close to my chest, falling limply to my side I fell onto the bed and clutched the animal tighter and buried my face into it's head.

Kohaku...

I looked at the clothes in my closet.

What do you wear to the Hospital when someone you care about is near death?.

I flipped through my bright colored clothes and came across a short black dress. The sleeves barley went past my elbows and the bottom part just went past my knees.

Black will do...

I slipped into the dress and grabbed my jean handbag.

"Daddy, will you take me to work?." I wasn't in the mood to search for my Mother today. I wanted to get to the hospital as soon as I could. I wasn't working today but if I told him I wanted to go to a hospital just to see a boy, I knew it'd be out of the question.

"Alright." He stood up and grabbed his keys.

"Do you normally wear a dress to work?."

I looked down at the rim.

"No..."

We didn't say anything else until we reached the correct hospital. "I'll call you when I need to be picked up. I might have to stay longer then usual."

"Alright, but make sure you call before four, your mother and I have plans later."

I nodded and jump out of the car.

I walked up the front desk, there was a small plaque that read. Dr. S. Suikotsu. "Dr Suikotsu...can you tell me where Kohaku Anberu is?."

Suikotsu looked down at his papers. "Oh, of course, room ten."

I thanked him and rushed down the hall to his room.

"Kohaku?" I push open the door and screamed his name out.

"Uh..Rin...what are you doing here?." I saw Kohaku sitting up, reading a magazine. While his sister and future-brother-in-law slept peacefully.

I rush over to his side and pull up a chair. "Kohaku! Are you alright? What happened?."

Kohaku smiled at me. "I'm fine...and I don't remember much except for the car flipping over a few times."

I sighed with relief. "Well as long as you are alright!."

He set the magazine down beside him and stared at my dress for a while. "What's with the dress, are you going to funeral or something?."

I looked down at his wrists again, for some odd reason I thought the scars made them more beautiful. "No, I felt like wearing a dress..."

He smiled. "You look nice in dresses."

It was off topic completely. He's in the Hospital and all he could think about was how nice I looked in a dress.

"Thank you." I smile as a blush appears under my eyes.

He smiled once more. "No problem."

Eek, Rin stop flirting..blushing...or whatever it is you're doing!. You could lose your job and have your butt kicked by Daddy!.

I look up at him. "So...do you know when you'll be getting out?."

He shook his head. "No, sorry."

I glanced at his sleeping sister. "How bad are your wounds?."

I then looked at his leg. "Um, I broke my right leg. I have a large cut in my left arm...um..and my left leg seems to be pretty badly injured, it's also broken...but I slept through what they did."

We stayed silent for a little while before he spoke. "Could you turn on the T.v? I want to watch the news."

"The news? You don't seem like that type of person."

He laughed. "I wanna see if they mentioned our crash."

I frowned at him and turned on the television.

Changing it to the correct channel, I turned up the volume and sat back down.

"...and in other news. A family of three were in a car accident in mid-afternoon. All three of the Family members survived, and were sent to the Northern Tokyo Hospital with serious injuries. No one is unsure who caused the accident, since the person who caused it fled. If you have any information please contact the Authorities."

A few images of the wrecked vehicle flashed by, including one of Kohaku being taken out of the backseat.

"Oh...Kohaku, didn't that hurt?." He smiled and shrugged.

"Yeah for a moment...but I lived, didn't I?."

You nearly died! And all you can do is joke around!.

I shook my head, I wasn't going to argue with him.

I guess you have a point...you lived...

Author's note - Yes yes, I kept the cheesy car crash...

Thank you for reading.
