chapter4

He returned to his senses upon hearing screaming and muffled voices. Voices he couldn't recognize. At first he was unwilling to open his eyes, his head was throbbing with pain. So he just lay there, and listened… But the loud noise also hurt, he felt a migraine-like headache forming behind his forehead.

"Hayato let me go!" he heard someone scream, and the voice was full of fear and some kind of nervousness. There were other two speaking at the same time, but he couldn't make out the words. However a third person who wasn't talking, but he could very well pick out the nervous way he took in the air sharply.

"Boys, please!" there was someone else too. An adult probably, collected and calm, not like the others he was referring to. "It's not the best place for that! Please, keep calm! You're in a hospital!"

So he was in a hospital after all…

He slowly opened his eyes. At first yellowish light blinded him, so he let out a soft moan, then for his next try, he lowered his gaze from the ceiling, and now he saw two young men in front of his bed: the taller teen with curly brown hair had just let go of the smaller one, who looked fragile and tiny grasped between the strong hands, his red hair messy, and some bandage on his pretty face. In the background there were two more, one very tall, his spiky hair not far away from the ceiling, and with his companion they looked very worried too.

"It's nice that you finally woke up" said the doctor, who previously rebuked the two boys not far away from a fight, he recognized his voice. And with practiced hands he started examining his head, and checking his pupils and everything to make sure, he was all right. A soft shiver run along his body as the doctor's cold hands touched his temples, and put a slight pressure on them.

During the examination he listened to the conversation between the teens at the other end of his bed.

"So? What happened?" snarled the handsome brunette at the small redhead, his dark orbs shining menacingly, but a not less attractive way as he stated in himself.

"It's nothing much!... We had a talk at the park, I saw that Ryuu was confused the afternoon and I went to look for him. I found him at the park. We had a talk, and as he wanted to leave, he bumped into a branch of thugs. One hit him from behind, and Ryuu collapsed! I brought him here! That's all!"

"How on earth was that possible? Ryuu never gets hit from behind!" stated the black haired teen behind the tower-height one.

"I don't know! He wasn't concentrating!"

"It's not like Ryuu at all!" joined the tall teen into the accusing conversation too.

"It's not my fault just to inform you! Don't dare to blame it on me!" the pretty teen was on the verge of tears, and sent accusing looks at the brunette in front of him, who shifted at his place, lifting his weight from one leg to the other, chewing on the corner of his lower lip nervously.

The doctor behind him shook his head and let out a sigh of an adult who looked at the conversation of youngsters, and couldn't find any sense in that. His hands wandered at the boy's neck and nape. As he gently checked on the ceasing bump there, the teen let out a sharp gasp and jerked away, but that made his body hurt even more.

"RYUU!" all the four teens called out for him, and looked at him worry shining in their eyes - immediately forgetting about their quarrel.

"Don't worry too much, boys" soothed their nerves the doctor's calm voice. "The pain won't go that fast. Otherwise, Odagiri-kun is fine, I can say. All his reactions are a bit slow, but it's because of the painkiller he got. You should just walk him home, and make sure, he gets a good night rest."

"Ryuu" the small redhead came up to him, and looked him closely in the eyes. "Are you sure, you okay?"

"Look, as small as he is, he behaves like a mother hen!" grinned the tall teen from above him.

"Yeah, Take, aren't you a bit too worried? If the doc says, Ryuu's all right, it means Ryuu's all right!"

The small teen- Take, turned back at them and snapped at them angrily:

"Tsucchi! Hyuuga! just shut the hell up!" and all three of them were laughing, happy that the awkward atmosphere was finally gone.

It was only that handsome brunette who didn't take his part in that delight. His brows frowned, he kept his worried gaze lingering on him. You could say he was skeptical about what the doctor'd just said.

He got pretty uncomfortable under such intense gaze, and he wanted to get rid of this awkward feeling, that the situation reminded him of something, he just couldn't recall that very special event. So he sent him a murderous glare and hoped it'll work on the teen.

As a reaction, there was a small smile gracing his features.

"Okay, welcome back Ryuu" he smiled. "That's the Ryuu we all know."

So it means… this Odagiri Ryuu they were talking about was equal with him…

That iron racket, that caused Ryuu collapse and faint in his fight, hit him at his nape and because of that all of his memories vanished of his past. And his balance wasn't the best either. The guys had to catch him a few times, not to fall flat on the face on their way back "home". After the first wave of shock disappeared, they had great fun in Ryuu falling over thin air even on mirror-flat surfaces for the slightest, accidental push at the arm. That was a bit disturbing, but the doctor said, he was fine. And he had the feeling, that he can trust a doctor. And all the teens, who surrounded him from the first moment of regaining his consciousness were also sure that Ryuu was fine, so he was fine. He took it normal, that he didn't recognize the guys with whom he seemed to be on very good terms. On his way "home" he learnt the name of the small redhead, he was Take, and the other two: the tower tall guy was Tsucchi and the black haired was called Hyuuga. They also called the brunette by his name several times, but he couldn't keep that in mind…

Ryuu didn't say a word even in the next morning. He learnt that it was fine, if he didn't talk, so he kept on observing and learning. He didn't want to mean a problem with his lack of memories. Or his pride didn't let him see or rarther bear the others worrying for him.

School was an irritating thing without memories though.

At first he didn't know which seat he should take. It took him several minutes to recognize that his "friends" were sitting at the back of the class, and that they were shouting his name to get his attention. Recognizing his name was another great problem for Ryuu. And that seemed suspicious to the others. But he also learnt that it was a great weapon of his to send a murderous glare as an answer for their worried and questioning ones, and they already turned away. It looked like it belonged to his personality, and after the first few classes he was getting comfortable with this new situation. He could get used to new things quite fast.

It was only the names that were bothering him.

His gaze wandered all the time back to the brunette sitting next to him – seemigly terribly bored of school. Ryuu just couldn't get enough of this view. And didn't know why. He had absolutely no memories of him. Of the others, after he learnt their names, and listened to them talking, he could recall some memories concerning them. But this teen was different. Absolutely nothing! Not even his name, nor what relationship they were in before.

He concentrated really hard and tried his best to recall how the others called this handsome man.

"Hey, Hayato!" Take called out on a low voice, and the brunette lifted his head to turn into his direction. "You free tonight?"

"Don't feel like going out" muttered the teen and was about to lay his head back onto his arms and go on with sleeping, but Take kept on whining.

"Come on, Hayato! I'll drag Ryuu too. Hayatoo~"

Before he had the chance to go on with this meaningless and senseless whining, Ryuu spoke up:

"So you're Hayato, right?"

All of a sudden everything went silent.

Ryuu didn't understand it why. He didn't disturb the lesson too much, but everyone turned into his direction, all the students, the irritating teacher – Yankumi- at the blackboard, his friends around him, and on a super speed Hayato's head snapped also toward him.

His eyes grew twice bigger than their normal size as he glared at the redhead.

Ryuu shifted in his seat uncomfortably.

"What?" he mumbled and nervously looked from one of his classmates to the other, and then took a halt on Hayato, who may not be Hayato by that means, he came to the conclusion. "Isn't that you, then?"

In the moment of shock and disbelief there was an angry growl to be heard and suddenly Hayato leapt to his feet, not caring what happens to his desk or chair, and grabbed Ryuu by the collar of his coat, lifted the shocked redhead to his eyelevel and glared at him with his piercing eyes, gleaming with all fury blazing inside him.

And Ryuu wasn't pulling his leg! He really didn't know who he was!

Lead by his anger he punched Ryuu as hard as he could. The redhead fell backward at his desk, but his fighting spirit awakened the second he took the punch and immediately turned back toward Hayato. He was panting, yet is mandel shaped eyes were gleaming with irritation, and hurt pride, and their look mesmerized Hayato. Ryuu took advantage of his pause and lifted his fist to hit back, but his balance betrayed him. He was aiming at Hayato's chin, but instead he could only punch him in the shoulder, and with much less power, and he fell forward. For his luck, Hayato was there, and despite his previous attack, he caught the redhead without too much effort.

The whole world was spinning around Ryuu. He felt lightheaded and dizzy, and ready to throw up. So he clutched to the strong arm around him that was his only sure point in this crazy spinning world.

Ryuu didn't realize, but the whole class surrounded them, and more hands reached out for them the moment they started their fight, and also when he fell over. He didn't hear Yankumi scream, trying to restore the peace in his precious class…

He didn't notice anything at all.

The only thing he could concentrate on was the strong arm around him, the shoulder that was slightly shivering under his forehead, and the heart racing under his cheek.

That's it about the fourth chapter... poor Ryuu, ne? Please let me know what you think!
for all crazy stuff you should blame my fantasy XD
