DAY11
Sanada was in the waiting room. He was lecturing his nephews. They had come out of their hiding place when they saw the ambulance. At first he decided to lock the kids home but bringing them to the hospital seemed to be a better punishment. So here they were, waiting for the doctor instead of going to school.
"Why didn't you wait for Saruwatari-san? You knew damn well she was the one was supposed to pick you up. What you did is unforgiveable. She could have died. Her daughter could sue your parents because of that stupid prank. I hope you understand how lucky you were…"
At that moment a doctor entered the room and asked Sanada to follow him.
"How is she?"
"She is doing well. It was only a minor heart attack. It could have been worse if you hadn't been there to save her. We still have some tests to run and if nothing is wrong she will be discharged tomorrow evening. Were you able to reach her family?"
"That is good to her. Unfortunately not. If it is a problem for her to stay alone she can come and live with me until I get a hold of her daughter."
"It would be perfect but the children won't be allowed to disturb her. Resting is what she need the most."
"Of course. And about what I asked you yesterday evening?"
"No problem a nurse will come soon."
The doctor left and Sanada went to sit with the children. Kuan Ti was fidgeting.
"Uncle Gen-chan I've something to tell you. We didn't wait for Kagome-chan because we thought she was angry. We broke an old Chinese vase. Kagami tripped on her feet and fell on it. She seemed so angry and she didn't say anything when she drove us to school yesterday morning."
"Is that true Kagami?"
The little girl nodded and started to sob. The nurse chose that moment to arrive. Sanada stoop up and asked the children to follow him. When they saw what the poor nurse had on her tray they began to scream but they quickly stopped when they saw the way Sanada was glaring at them.
They entered the nearest examination room.
"You have been bad. Bad children deserve an injection. So now be quiet or I will ask the doctor to bring more of them."
The children gulped and jumped on the bed. A few minutes later it was over and their uncle sent them away to play in the waiting room. He still had to talk to his neighbor. He had to apologize. So he asked the nurse for the number of her room and walked there.
Saruwatari Kagome was sitting on her bed. She was reading what seemed to be a romance novel. Sanada couldn't help frowning at that sight. Romance novels were for weaklings or brainless women. He couldn't understand how his respectable old neighbor could read such books.
"Good morning Saruwatari-san. I hope I am not disturbing you."
She put her book on the side and removed her glasses.
"Hello Sanada-san. Not all. To tell you the truth I am really happy to see you. I was a bit bored. The only book they were able to give me is this romance novel. I don't like it at all. I would give anything to read a good book on World War II."
"I can bring you one later. Grandfather had plenty of books about Wars. I want to apologize for my nephews' behavior. They should not have run away and broken your Chinese vase. They told me they did not wait for you because they thought you were angry about the broken vase. I punished them, they will come and apologize later. I will drive them to school and I will come back in the evening with a book and of course them. And I will pay for the vase."
She chuckled.
"Oh you don't have to pay for the vase. Poor children… I wasn't angry because of the vase. My daughter called me to tell me she was going to live in Florida with her husband and children. She left for the airport just after the call. They went there to look for a house… I hope you weren't too harsh with them…"
"Oh they got their mumps injections done. They had to have it done before the end of the month so I took this opportunity to have it done. They hate injections so it was the best way to punish them."
"My… Sanada-san you are really evil."
Sanada nodded, bowed and left. He came back in the evening with the children. Visiting hours were over but as he knew Yagyuu's father also known as the head doctor of this hospital it had been easy to get an authorization.
They entered the room. The kids were carrying a bunch of flowers and Sanada a book. She welcomed them with a smile which broadened even more when she was given the book. The children handed her the flowers. Their eyes were teary and their nose running but they didn't care they jumped on the bed to hug the old lady. Sanada grabbed them by their shirt and made them sit on a chair.
They chatted. The kids apologized. After a while they were fed up to sit on their chair with nothing to do. They wanted to play and what was better than pushing the little red button next to the night table. When Sanada saw it, it was already too late. Five nurses barged into the room. Two doctors followed.
The kids were scolded and expelled from the hospital. Sanada was really ashamed of them. But Saruwatari-san seemed to have enjoyed this little incident.
Poor Sanada kept yelling at them during the whole drive home. He sent them to bed without eating and began to pray that his parents and brother would come home as soon as possible. Fortunately for him Yukimura phoned him. He spent the whole night on the phone…
A/N:Nice kids… I'm thinking of making Niou come back to have a nice little chat with the brats…
