Chapter 25: Family

"Miss Takigawa, you should be able leave with the hour once you parents have signed this forms," I smiled with a nod, "Thank you,"
The doctor left me and the others in the room, while Ayako and Bou-san followed him out. Masako and John sat to my right and began talking about what I had missed in the last two months.
To say the least I was so shocked that I had been asleep for two months, TWO WHOLE MONTHS. Well, that was great.
I listened and nodded at everything they were saying. They spoke about the end of the case and how it was solved. They told me about how Kayleigh was moved back to hospital after she had an asthma attack which was blamed on stress.
They told me about the media and the stories they did on what had happened, apparently a lot had happened.
Yet as I listened I couldn't concentrate, it just watched everyone else.
They all looked ill themselves, they looked like they could barely stand.
Masako looked bad, she look stick thin, bags under her eyes, no make-up, hair pulled back into a small pony tail. I couldn't believe this was Masako Hara. I was sad to say that it had come to this. It was not expecting this; she looked dead on her feet.
John, didn't look as bad as Masako but you could tell he had lost weight and there were small bags under his eyes. Yet, the huge smiles on their faces and they chatted was a huge contrast to their ill appearances. John, sat there now smiling along with Masako as they told me their stories. The way they looked was wrong; they should look, healthy, fuller.
They weren't themselves, even though it was them.
I stared silently I didn't feel my eyes well up.
"Mai, what's wrong?" I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at them. "Nothing why?" I asked tilting my head to the side.
"Your crying." John spoke. I slowly wiped my hand under my eyes, and truth was, I was crying. There on my hand was the salty water that had escaped my eyes. "Oh, it's just, you two, look at you," I whispered. "Your thin, bags under your eyes, pale...why?" I continued.
They smiled sadly, "I could never sleep and eat," Masako whispered, "I couldn't knowing you were lying here in hospital, John tried to get me to eat small meals and I did but I couldn't eat properly, and we couldn't sleep," I looked at John who nodded, agreeing with her.
I felt sick.
It was horrible seeing people I valued as my family, looking like this.
I felt more tears fall down my face, "Masako, you know better than that," I whispered as I reached for her hand. Our hands met in a strong hold. "Your my best friend, you know better."
Masako eyes filled with tears as her grip tightened and she gave me a watery smile. "I know, but your my best friend," we both smiled and gave a small chuckle.
I looked over at Lin and Yasu who were talking. "And you two, seriously, I'm hungry just looking at everyone." I exclaimed, Yasu and Lin looked at me and Yasu broke into laughter and Lin smiled.
"Well, now you can eat whatever you want, my treat," Yasu exclaimed with a pose and I choked on a laugh and began giggling along with Masako. Yasu smiled while rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
Lin went back to looking at a book.
I looked over my shoulder to see Naru sat down on a chair, against the wall, eyes closed, head forward, I wanted to laugh, and it was so un-Naru like.
I quietly reached over to touch him. Just like the others he had bags under his eyes, he looked a lot paler then he was.
I looked down his body and saw he had lost lots of weight, I wasn't sure if those pants would stay up much longer. I suppressed a blush and giggle and looked back up at his face, his eyes still closed.
I lifted a hand and ran it down his face from his eyebrow to his cheek, his eyes snapped open.
I cupped his cheek softly and smiled. He stared at me, his eyes looking over every inch of my face as I rubbed his cheek softly.
"Is it really you," he whispered so softly I think only I heard.
"It is," I whispered back and he gave me on of his rare smiles, you know, the one have gave me back on Yasuhara's school case. That one, where he really smiles, where his smile reaches his eyes.
Not the fake on he gives clients, no a genuine smile. My heart began to beat faster and a blush reached my cheeks. "Mai," he whispered a lifted his hand to hold mine, "It's really you," he spoke.
I laughed, "Of course it was, did you really think I was the Tooth Fairy," this time everyone heard it and everyone laughed.
I pulled back and looked at and Bou-san where back and were clutching their stomachs in laughter, Lin was chuckling and Yasu and the others were laughing behind their hands. I looked back at Naru to see him trying not to chuckle and I gave him a big smile.
"I love you Naru,"
"I love you too Mai,"

WOW! Mai's awake, finally. Now there will either just be one chapter left or two, I haven't decided yet, but it will get posted today, no fail so I can start my WALKING DEAD FAN FICTIONS. SO EXCITED.!

ANYWAY, READ AND REVIEW
