Sudden Revelations
Where am I? When am I? Am I alive, or dead? The questions were tormenting Tetsuo Kobayashi's mind. He felt as if he were flying. He couldn't see anything in the distance, it was all blue….and below him, clouds. Kobayashi decided to start flying in one direction. After what seemed like a few hours, He stumbled across a break in the clouds. He decided to fly down, and realized that he was flying over India. Coming to this revelation, Kobayashi decided to fly to Japan. On his way there, he saw Harima doing the same. "HEY! HARIMA!" Kobayashi shouted. Oh, great. It's this guy. What's His name? Kobasuchi? Ah, Whatever. I wonder if I'm just dreaming about him, or this is where I think I am. Harima thought. "Hey, Harima. Do you know where we are?" "Yeah, I have an idea." Who does this guy think he is? I know exactly where I am, but I wonder if this is really Kobasuchi or if he's just a figment of my imagination, Harima thought. Kobayashi waved a hand in front of Harima's face. "HELLO? HARIMA?" Wow. Harima seems deep in thought. "Say, Kobasuchi" "Um, it's Kobayashi" "Yeah, whatever. Listen. So are you just a figment of imagination?" "Um, no….Where are we, Harima?" "Well, that's an easy one! We're both in a coma!"
Dr. Genkichi Yuudai walked into Kobayashi's room. Damn…We have so much to talk about and catch up on….and now he's in a coma. So is the guy next to him…..Kenji Harima? Yeah. That's his name. Yuudai looked at his chart. Looks like they have similar injuries, and the same cause for the coma. Heh, I wonder if they're talking to each other right now. They have an IV going in and they have enough painkillers to tranquilize a charging rhino. They don't need life support so it looks like we're good now. All we can do is wait…..
"You're talking about it as if you've been here before." Kobayashi said. "Well, That's because I have, Kobasuchi." "Eh, it's Kobayashi. And what did you do to get here the first time?" "Well, Let's just say you should've seen the truck." Harima said. Kobayashi laughed. "So, what do we do?" "Well, I always just stay here." Harima replied "Ok. Do you want to go down to Japan?" Kobayashi asked. "Hey, I've been here before, so I call the shots." Harima replied. "Ok. So what do you propose we do?" Kobayashi asked. "We should just stay here. I don't really care if you go down to Japan or not, I'm staying here." "Ok." Kobayashi replied. "But, you should know, Tenma might be down there." Harima turned around, stricken with love. Damn, he's good. Harima turned around "Ah, oh wow I'm pretty hungry. I sure do want something to eat! I have an idea, Let's go down to Japan!" Way to play it cool, Harima. Harima thought as he gave himself a thumbs up.
Down in Japan, They managed to get lost from one another. Kobayashi went to see Yagami high, While Harima went to scour the entire town and all of Tokyo to find Tenma.
Tenma awoke in the hospital, completely confused, as she had no idea how she got here. "Nurse, where am I?" Tenma asked. "Oh, sweetie, you're in the hospital" "What? How did I get here?" Tenma shouted. Her heart rate increased, and the nurse said, "Calm down, Ms. Tsukamoto, you are okay." The nurse turned on the news. "There was an explosion at Yagami High." The reporter said, "Authorities think there was an explosion, and will notify us on more details further into the investigation."
Tenma started to cry, "What happened to my friends? What about, K-K-Karasuma..." "Oh, Oji Karasuma?" The nurse asked. Tenma slowly nodded, expecting the worst. "He's your neighbor!" The nurse pulled back the curtain and Tenma's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. There was Karasuma, with a few bandages here and there, but he was okay! He looked up from the book he was reading and said, "Hello, Ms. Tsukamoto" Tenma said, "H-H-Hey K-K-Karasuma", but in her mind she was screaming and imagining running up to hug him and never letting go.
Harima was sitting and pondering. Where am I? Why are the streets empty? Why can I fly, and more importantly, where is Tenma? I swear, if some creep has his grubby little hands on her, I'll kick him til his head falls off. His moment of deep thought was interrupted by a crash. Tetsuo heard it too. The world started to collapse, as if there was a sinkhole. Everything fell down from buildings to small houses. It all got sucked in, and everything went white.
Then Tetsuo Kobayashi and Kenji Harima woke up.
Harima awoke to nurses shuffling in and out of his room. Wait, am I in the hospital? He thought. Harima looked around, puzzled. He tried to get up, but was forced down due to his cringing pain. "DAMNIT!" Harima screamed. A nurse came running into the room. "Why am I in the hospital? What happened?" "Well," The nurse replied "There was an explosion at your school". "A WHAT? AGH!" Harima doubled over in pain. "W-where is Tenma Tsukamoto?" "Oh, I'm her nurse too! She is in the adolescent wing. You're in the ICU. You just had to have surgery, and get your spleen removed." "WHAT THE HELL? Is this why I'm in pain? What did you psychos do to me?" "Please relax, Mr. Harima. You're fine, you're friend Ms. Tsukamoto is fine. Please, just relax"
Harima sat back in his bed. Damn these people. I need to see Tenma, make sure she's ok. "I need to see Tenma now, ma'am". "You will be able to in a few days, just until you can be moved to the adolescent wing" The nurse said, and walked away. Oh boy, Harima thought, 3 days is going to move like a slug without being near Tenma. I don't care what the doctors say, I have to see her now! Harima, with all of his remaining strength, slowly lurched out of bed, setting all of the alarms off. Nurses and doctors and janitors alike all rushed to restrain the beast, but to no avail. Harima bulldozed them out of the way. Finally, in his weakened state Harima passed out, 5 feet from the elevator.
