Chapter 3 - Hospital

Beep...beep...beep...

What is that sound? Ryou thought through his weariness. His body felt as heavy as stone to halfway down his back then it felt empty? Free?

It felt like nothing was there.

Ryou's dreams had been attacked by the most awful nightmares of what could have happened to Ichigo if he wasn't there.

He still didn't know if he'd saved her.

He forced his heavy eyelids to lift and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was...her red hair. She was alive! She looked like somebody had died. Her face was pale, hanging and her eyes had a tortured look. Concern caught in his chest for the unknown person then he realised, she was concerned about him.

Ichigo looked over at him sadly and when she saw his eyes were open, her whole face lit up, changing her expression.

"Ryou!!!" she beamed "Your awake! Oh god! Everyone thought they had lost you!"

"Of course I'm awake strawberry, don't worry, I'm fine." he said, his voice sounding shockingly weak.

He tried to sit up using his good arm but the bottom half of his body seemed to reject his commands. It felt like a jellyfish. With a scream of agony, his whole body slumped.

"Ba - um strawberry?" he said, trying to stay calm, "Why can't I feel my legs?" "I'm sorry Ryou." she said, tears threatening her eyes "You w-won't be able to walk f-for awhile, your sp-spine it br-br-br!" she couldn't finish, ters were making her words unintelligable.

"Ichigo!" Ryou said, horrified. "Don't cry, it wasn't your fault it happened - don't cry." Ichigo sat down and sobbed uncontrollably at the side of the hospital bed.

The words were slowly penetrating Ryou's brain 'broken spine' it meant he would be paralysed, at least for a short while.

Broken spine...
