After hours of being out. Maybe even days. I felt a sharp pain go through my chest. I groaned as I tried to breathe. Then all of a sudden I felt a hand on my hand. I unwillingly open my eyes to see Dr. Houshi. I'll never get use to calling him Miroku.
"Your awake." he said in a soft whisper. I didn't know what to make of him being here...Holding my hand. All I could say in response was "Ugh."
Nice, the word ugh? He smiled and sat closer to my bed...Why was I alive?
"I'm glad you're awake. Everyone thought we'd lost you...Well, we did lose you but you came back." he said. I was highly aware of everything that happened. That is up in heaven. I don't know how I got here because I don't remember. All I know is it had something to do with Sato...I think.
"What happened?" I say in possibly the worst creakiest voice ever . He goes on to tell me how Sato beat me up to the point of killing me and how no one thought I'd make it through...But I did. Which was a miracle. He also told me how my arm was broken, couple of ribs crushed which would be why it kind of hurts to breathe and a bashed head...Wow, aren't I the pretty one. I looked back over at Dr. Houshi who had his head down at the moment. I asked him what was wrong and when he looked up at me, I could feel my somewhat already damaged heart stop. He was actually crying.
"You were really in bad condition. Blood in your lungs. You lost a lot of blood! I...I thought I was...going to lose you..."he said looking at me. And in that instant I felt like kissing him...If I wasn't in a bed with all these things wrong with me. And I think even he felt it as well because squeezed my hand and blushed. First time I've ever seen him blush.
"I can't lose you." he said.
"Right, it wouldn't look good on the record if one of your patients dies on your watch." I said trying to laugh but it hurt too much.
"I mean I don't want to lose you Sango...It'll hurt way to much...I thought you weren't coming back when I found you...You lost so much blood...I gave you some of mine so you should be fine." he said rolling up his sleeve...I didn't know what to think nor say.
"I know it says a doctor should never fall for his or hers patients but...There's something about you that I just can't let go...I...I love you."
As I was about to answer I started coughing up blood. Dr. Houshi says I'll be coughing up blood for a while. Nothing to worry about though. Is it weird that I actually like him too? I mean maybe like isn't the word. Maybe like isn't exactly the word for it...Maybe love is too.
I told Dr. Houshi I was tired and wanted to rest. Which he gladly left me alone to sleep. Now that he knows I'll wake up. I would have replied back to him with the answer he wanted or whatever but I am really tired and my head kind of hurts. Maybe I just need to let this all sink in. Hmm, I'll be 18 in a couple of days. Great, my 18th birthday and I'll be spending it in a cast, bandages, and maybe crouches. Er, fine by me. Now for some shut eye time.
