(A/N: Sorry for the cliffie you guys!!! here's a new chappie! :D)

Len and Amou walked into the Emergency room with the attendants and Kaho being rolled along on the stretcher's support system.

"Are you guys family," asked one of the attendants, seeming reluctant to let Amou and Len through...

Amou spoke up, "I'm her sister, and this is our cousin... Will you please let us in now?"

"Fine," the attendant said snarkily, "Just don't mess with any of the equipment."

"Whatever," said Amou, "C'mon Len."

She grabbed Len's wrist and began pulling him into the ER.

As soon as they got to Kaho's bed, Len immediately grabbed one of the nearby chairs and dragged it over by Kaho's bed.

He took ahold of her hand, used his free hand to trace her cheek, and said, "Ashiteru Kahoko... Don't leave me... Ashiteru... I'm sorry that I misunderstood your actions... Ashiteru..."

He looked at Amou, holding her camera up, taking pictures of Len holding Kaho's hand and tracing her face.

Len glared at Amou until she put down her camera with a guilty look on her face...

"Sorry," she said.

Len glared at her more...

"Okay, okay, I'm not sorry, but still... Later on, you guys are gonna thank me for all these cute pictures," protested Amou.

Len rolled his eyes.

(A/N: SORRY! I know it's OOC for him... And i know that the story is getting crappy in context... :( SORRY!!!!)

Suddenly, Kaho's eyes fluttered open.

Her eyes met Len's and she stuttered, "Len? Are you mad at me?"

Len turned to Kaho in shock.

"Kahoko," he exclaimed as he hugged Kaho.

"Len, are you mad at me," Kaho repeated worreidly.

Len released Kaho and looked at her sternly.

"Kahoko Hino, first of all, you should know that i am furious with you right now," said Len, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Eh? Len! Don't tease me like that! I'm injured you know," protested Kaho.

As soon as he heard the word 'injured', Len's facial expression deteriorated.

"Why did you run after me Kahoko? You know that you could have talked to me later, yet you ran after me... Why? Why you have to go and get yourself injured," Len asked sadly.

Len stood up and began to walk away, muttering bitterly, "Why am I here anyway? Kazuo's the one she loves, not me... He's the one that was hugging her..."

Kaho heard him say that, and grabbed his hand as he started walking away.

He turned around, a pained look in his eyes.

"Why do you still want me here Kahoko," he asked, "KAzuo's the one you love... Not me..."

Kaho looked at him, "Len, you're right, I do love Kazuo..."

Len recoiled in shock.

"I see," he said sadly.

"Wait Len!," exclaimed Kaho, "You didn't let me finish!"

Len turned around, hurt showing in his eyes.

"I don't think i have anything else to say to you," Len said.

"But i have something to say to you," exclaimed Kaho, "Len, please listen, you don't even have to talk to me, just listen."

Reluctantly, Len sat down by Kaho again and said, "Please continue, and ensure that this isn't a waste of my time."

Len was using his cold unfeeling voice again.

Kaho shuddered at the sound.

"Len you're right... I do love Kazuo... But as a brother... My family had a terrible accident when I was just starting high school at Gakkan High, so i transferred into Seiso to get away from the memories... Ever since the accident, Kazuo-kun has been with me the whole time... He's helped me with almost everything," said Kaho quickly.

Len looked at her suspiciously.

"No one mentioned anything about a family accident," Len said coldly...

At this point, Kaho's eyes were brimming with tears that threatened to spill at any moment.

Her hair hung over her eyes as she said, "The accident was my fault... I was at a dance, and i discovered Niriya kissing my best friend... I felt hurt and deceived and i called my parents to come pick me up.

Kazuo waited with me to make sure i got home safely. After a couple hours of waiting for them, and they didn't come, Kazuo offered to give me a ride home.

I accepted, and got in his car... When we were about halfway to my house, we were forced to a stop because of an accident that had occured..."

Kaho turned her head to the side, not wanting Len to see the tears running down her face.

Len put his hand to Kaho's cheek to turn her face back to him.

Suddenly he pulled his hand back, surprised to feel her tears.

He looked from his hand to her eyes, overflowing with tears.

"Kaho," he said gently, pulling her sitting form close.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered.

"I'm an idiot for thinking that you'd cheat on me... I'm so sorry... This is my fault... I should have asked you about it," a tear ran down Len's face.

Suddenly, a nurse walked in, and asked, "Young lady, you have a group of friends waiting outside to see you. Shall i send them in or do you wish for me to send them away?"

Len let go of Kaho, and turned to the nurse.

"Send them away," he said, "Can't you see she's much too tired and stressed to see anyone else?"

Kaho placed her hand on his shoulder and shook her head.

"Iie Len, they've come all this way, so I might as well let them know that I am all right," she said.

Len looked at her sternly.

"You need your rest. You won't get any better if you don't sleep," he scolded.

Kaho lay down.

"Here," she said stubbornly, "I'm resting..."

She turned to the nurse.

"Could you please sent them in now," she asked.

The nurse looked from Kaho to Len.

She shook her head and walked out to call the rest of the group in.

Len looked at Kaho and said, "You are so STUBBORN."

Kaho smiled and said, "I love you too Len."

Len leaned and kissed her forehead.

A couple moments later, a knock was heard on the door.

"Kaho-chan," exclaimed Kazuki, "Are you alright? Wait! Forget i said that! Of course you're not alright! You're in the hospital! What happened to you? Are you feeling any better? When are they going to let you out? Can you still play the violin? Are you sleeping with your eyes open? Hello? Kaho-chan? KAHO-CHAN? KAHO-CHAN!?!?!?!?!?!?! GUYS!!! I THINK KAHO-CHAN'S DEAD!!!! COME HERE!!!! LOOK!!!!!!!"

Kaho giggled.

"Hihara-kun, of course I'm alright... I fell down a flight of stairs, so I'm a little sore, but other than that I'm fine... (At this, Len flushed a little and thought, 'You fell down a flight of stairs because of me.. It's my fault you're in here... Please hurry and get better Kahoko.') Even though I've only been here a couple of hours I feel a lot better... I don't know when they're going to let me out, but until then I'll call you guys as much as I can. I don't know if I can still play the violin (Everybody winced at that comment, especially Kazuo), I'm not sleeping with my eyes open, and i think you know the answer to that last question," finished Kaho breathlessly.

Len was still sitting by Kaho looking at her with a concerned look on his face.

"Take it easy, I don't want you to overexert yourself," he murmured while tucking a stray hair behind her ear.

Kaho smiled and said, "Len."

She raised her hand to touch his cheek, and when he was least expecting her to, she pinched it.

"Etai," he exclaimed, "What was that for?"

"You're being too concerned... It's not your fault.. I should have told you sooner... So stop worrying, okay," she said.

Len nodded weakly..

Kaho smiled, but suddenly she fainted.
