The bathroom door opened and the three nurses rolled out Yuki, who was now in a new hospital gown, only this time his chest covered. The nurses and he other three Zodiacs helped Yuki onto the bed who was a little numb from the drugs.

"Yuki, we need to take some blood ok? Then we will let you rest for a little bit OK?" Yuki nodded and let the nurse get to his IV and take the blood, filling up the vials. "OK done." He hooked up the IV with normal fluids and left with the other nurses. Yuki looked over at his cousins giving the wondering what I should do look.

"Here Yuki." Shigure said with a smile, handing Yuki a card from his school. Yuki looked at it and opened it. As be began to read he face became really pink and his brow lowered trying make out the words. Hatori nudged Shigure. Shigure looked at him, and Hatori moved his eyes to the blood pressure machine and back at Shigure a couple times. Shigure got the message and watched as Yuki's blood pressure started to go up. Shigure winked at Hatori as they watched Yuki, read the letter, while Ayame stood oblivious to the whole thing- but still watched his little brother read the letter. Yuki's face mouthed "Wh- why- what?" his face showed completely discussed, and his face became a very dark shade of red. His cousins on the other hand were smiling and smirking away as they watched Yuki continue read. Yuki put the letter in the envelop fast and took his blanket and put it over his head.

"What did it say Yuki!" Aya ran to the bed pushing Shigure and Hatori so hard, that they hit opposite walls. Yuki popped up from the covers trying to hide the letter. Aya found it, and held the letter up proudly. Yuki tried desperately to grab it, but Aya held it away.

"That's enough Ayame." Hatori said grabbing the letter and hitting Ayame hard on the head, he then went to Shigure and did the same thing.

"WHY YOU DO THAT HARI WHY WHY, WHY, WHY!" Shigure said waving his arms around franticly and anima tears flowing from his eyes.

"I know that you were thinking of reading this letter just as much as Ayame, and I have to discipline you both for that." Hatori said calmly.

Ayame and Shigure held each other sitting in a corner cowering in fear of Hatori. (Chibi amime style with blue background and wave lines/bubbles with the wall)

"Your letter will be in my brief case Yuki, you know I will not read your letter so not to worry." Hatori put the letter in a secret part of his bag and locked it. Yuki smiled, and then glared at his cousin and brother, who were now shaking, their heads hidden in each others shoulders.

"Hatori?"

"Yes Yuki?"

"Can I take off this patch on my eye?"

Hatori put his hand to his chin thinking for a moment, then nodded. Hatori wet a wash cloth and placed it on Yuki's eye to loosen the gel glue. "You want to take it off Yuki?" Hatori asked. Yuki nodded taking off the bandage slowly. The two cowering cosines stood up fast watching Yuki taking off the patch. Watching wide eyed they stood holding there breath, seeing some dark black and purple flesh sticking out from were Yuki slowly unstuck the bandage.

"Close your eye Yuki, I'll get the remaining of the gel off our eye." Hatori wiped all the gel off ,and all cousins stood wide eyed in udder horror looking at Yuki's eye. Hatori slowly gave Yuki the mirror for him to see how it looked. As Yuki looked at himself in the mirror, his hands began to shake greatly, and he slowly took his free hand to touch the swelled up black and purple blue eye; that was unable to even open.

Yuki's jaw shook smiling. And he started to laugh. All the other Zodiacs began to think the same thing. He's lost it. Yuki started to laugh harder still touching his eye and holding the mirror closer to see the horrible swelling skin. Yuki was now gasping for breath trying to talk.

"I- I –I'm alone! A- at- at last! – I'm free; free!" He started to gasp for air. Ayame and Shigure just glanced at each other only with there eyes and back at Yuki, who was having a mental breakdown. "I'm at-at peace, alone at last! F- fre-free" Yuki's voice shuddered, touching his eye.

"Yuki, breath ok? Breath, your-" But Hatori was cut off.

"They- lea- leave me alone now? Now- Fin- f a-a-a" Yuki started to laugh more.

Hatori stood by Yuki and put a hand on his shoulder and tilted Yuki's head up to his own. "Stop it Yuki, stop it now. Tell me what you are thinking, just breath in and out." Hatori then seeing Yuki, wouldn't calm down oh his own; turned away and put a mask on, and opened a locked cabinet. Hatori then put on two latex gloves, and put a gas substance on his right hand. Hatori placed his free hand on Yuki's head, and the gloved one covering Yuki's nose and mouth. Yuki tried to fight the smell but couldn't and started to calm down feeling dizzy.

Shigure and Ayame covered their mouths in disgust. "What is that smell?!" Shigure said in even more discussed.

"It's a calming gas, I just gave him a small amount, and technically I am authorized if I want to give you two any - I could." Hatori smiled under his mask. The two friends shrunk back to the corner. Hatori threw two masks over to them to keep the smell away from there noses.

"Ugggg why must this be so hard?" Aya said wining.

"Yuki has gone through much Ayame, It will do you well to understand that." Hatori said taking off the gloves and mask; and putting them in them in the proper trashcan.

"I mean why dose he keep having panic attacks and meltdowns? Surly-"

"He is now trying to fight back and not be weak, simply he is just not holding back, and the trauma he has gone though before coming here was pretty great."

Ayame sighed heavily. "It just seams just like we are getting close…. Everything falls apart…"

"You two will make it through." Shigure said waving his fan in his face.

Aya stood up and walked over to Yuki who was still awake, yet looked pretty brain dead. "You sure you didn't over ( ) on the gas Hari? He looks really brain-dead."

"Yes Ayame, I'm sure, that's what happens when you give that stuff to people." The he mumbled. "surprising how your already like that.."

"What"? Aya said hearing his friend mumble something.

Shigure chucked, hearing Hatori mumbling about Aya. "You know Aya, why don't you ask Yuki about a fun memory of him living at my house? Or something, I'm sure he would to tell you if you asked. Aya smiled and looked back at Yuki. But decided to wait till he was more responsive.

"Oh and you to watch what you two say, Yuki might not look like he is all there, but he can hear you- so watch you say in front of him. Wouldn't want to say something you would regret would you now Aya?"

Ayame hit his face with his hand knowing far to well that Yuki heard him call him brained dead- looking. Shigure laughed as Aya was trying to think of a way to convince Yuki, he was just brotherly joking.

As Yuki was starting to come back from the calming gas, he looked up at the clock finding it now 4:30 pm. "Ugggg- I'm so bored." Yuki said still looking at the clock.

"Want us to tell you how we feel?" Shigure said with the same attitude Yuki had just expressed."

"I don't remember asking you to stay Shigure." Yuki said flatly.

"By the looks of it, you do need me here." He said annoyed.

Yuki sat up fast about to get completely let Shigure have it, when Hatori hit Shigure up side the head. "OWWW WHY DO YOU KEEP HITTING ME!"

"Because your being an idiot that's why. And we are here for Yuki because we care, and want to be here for him.

Yuki sat back and took his bed remote and made his bed tip back a little. Yuki, not hearing his brother, looked around not seeing him.

"He's out Yuki." Hatori said reading the paper he picked up from hitting Shigure. The three cousins sat in the room in silence. For again another night-

sorry I don't know the shortened spelling nickname for Hatori or Shigure…
