Five days later…
((You have ten voicemail messages. Voicemail 1: 3.25 am, 20 January- Yuya, I'm sorry for doing such stupid thing. Please come back home))
((Voicemail 2: 5.30 am, 20 January- Yuya, I know I'm wrong. You can hit me hard when you return home))
((Voicemail 3: 12.00 pm, 20 January- Honey, please forgives me. I promise that I won't do that again))
The mobile phone's battery was dead. She threw it on the alley path, marching her way to the commercial bank. Five days she had been sitting in the park doing nothing but sulking and how she had forgotten to eat and drink. Night was cold and with only her red coat as a blanket, she had sleep on the hard wooden bench. Her body was very weak.
In front of the bank… she took out her wallet and checked whether she had got the card or not. The wallet was empty and no bank cards could be seen. Shit, she had brought with her the wrong wallet. Luckily, her identity card was there. It would be hard if she had got arrested…
Her tummy was rumbling violently but without the money, she could not buy any food for the pitiful empty stomach. She turned to the zebra crossing and together with the other pedestrian, she crossed the busy road. She remained to walk to the place that only her feet knew where.

"What is your relationship with the dead one, Mr. Akito?"
Another brainless question.
"Do you know where she lives and does she have any relative staying or taking care of her welfare?"
One more stupid one. Did it really even matter?
He eyed the doctor who was jotting down all his answers. The ball pen moved to follow his hand rhythm but the handwriting was really bad. It looked almost like a meaningless scribble. Kyo thought smart people did excellent neat paperwork but he guessed not.
"Is that all?" Kyo asked. He was a bit disgusted to see the four eyes man uttering words that was really erratic even though his job demanded him to save thousands of people's soul; but they are not god. They did not decide the fate of human.
The doctor nodded.
"Thank you, Mr. Akito for sparing your precious time. I hope we will meet again", he said, shaking his hand with Kyo's.
"Soon enough", Kyo replied together with a fake smile.
He walked out from the room full of medicine smell that was choking him, leaving the door half opened.

She dragged her heavy feet. Her vision was turning blurry. Still, she encouraged herself to stay on walking. She wanted to go anywhere that was protected; anywhere that was relaxing. She joined the crowd, feeling excessively lost.
Very, very lost.
-
The bus stand was overcrowded.
Kyo stood in silence. The bus that he was waiting for hadn't arrived yet. To occupy the time, he scrutinized the crowd. The people came from many different heritages with many different hairs colours; blond, black and brown. However, here, they all spoke the same language; English. Grands, children, young woman, juvenile…
That was when he spotted her.
Yuya…
Her skin was cracking. Her eyes weren't beaming like usual. She looked very sick and weak. He tried to get closer to her, sneaking amongst the people and grabbed her hand which was very cold. Her long blond hair was messy and she had lost some weight; he was aware of it.
She was sad and suffering. That… He could feel that too.
In his arm, she collapsed, looking so lifeless. Her breathing was very shallow. He lifted her and immediately made his way to the hospital.
-
Hold on tight…
"That was really a fast re-meeting, Mr. Akito", said the doctor, a bit astounded to see him coming, lifting a maiden.
Kyo placed her on the coach in the corner. He tried to catch up his breathe after running all the way back to the hospital.
Please be stronger…
"You", he pointed, "do something or she'll die".
The doctor turned to gaze at Yuya and checked her pulse. "This is really bad", he mumbled and started dialling the nurse. A few seconds later, he began to speak.
Hold on a little bit longer…
((Nurse Tokito on the emergency line. Where am I needed?))
"Tokito, we've got a seriously sick patient here. Please, get ready with the prop ups. Glucose as well", he ordered.
((Roger))
Hold on…
The doctor hanged the receiver back to its stand. He went to the shelf and took out the paper with the word 'ICU EMERGENCY FORMS' in bold as the heading.
He took her temperature before turning back to Kyo.
"This girl, she would need a fast treatment" he said. Kyo's face expression changed.
A/N: What is going to happen to her? Next chapter will come but I need something to inspire me to write or I'll be at the end of my words. I am not begging you to send me any but be kind to me as well, ne?
