Normal P.O.V
This wasn't happening, it wasn't real, it couldn't be. This time, it wasn't just Hikaru pacing the waiting room, people in seats looked in curiosity as he, Saki, Fushito, Kaoru, Tamaki and Haruhi paced the office. The entire room jumped when they heard a loud bag, all eyes turned to Kona.
"I'LL FUCKING KILL THE SUZUYUKA FAMILY!" she yelled as she looked towards the doors the paramedics had taken Solar.
"Time," Hikaru ordered, Mori looked at his watch as he tried to calm a yelling Kona down.
"3:30 am," he answered, Hikaru grabbed his head, Solar had been in there for over two hours now, they had brung her in at one. But what worried them the most, was that when they actually rushed her in, she wasn't breathing and her pulse had faded.
"She's not dead," Neko muttered as she cried into Honeys' chest, the boy held onto her tightly. Hikaru gritted his teeth, it was taking every ounce of self-control not to run in there and make them work fast on the one he loved.
"This is all my fault," he muttered, everyone turned to him, Kaoru frowned.
"No it's-,"
"If I hadn't gotten in that fucking argument, she wouldn't be here," he stated as he looked towards the doors, his eyes widened when he saw the doctor emerge.
The entire group stood to meet the doctor, Haruhi hung to Tamaki, hoping it would be good news, Kona stopped yelling and was stood next to Mori, Neko and Honey stood with wide eyes, while everyone else looked at the doctor with concern in their eyes.
"Solar is stable, but we don't know how long for," he stated, everyone let out a breath they had been holding, "Unfortunately the bullet pierced her heart, it took everything we had to stop the bleeding," he carried on, "From what we could tell, everything else if fine, no internal bleeding or anything like that. We managed to get a pulse back and her breathing, but," the doctor paused for a moment before looking back at his charts and writing something.
"But what?" Kona asked, she wanted to know, she wanted to know now.
"I'm afraid she's in a coma, if she doesn't wake up soon, then I'm afraid she won't make it," he finished, the entire group gasped at the information, "She's down the hall, second door on your right, try talking to her, that might help," he said before walking away to deal with another patient.
That was all the group needed to hear as they ran towards Solars' room. Once they entered, they gasped. Solar was hooked up to all kinds of things, a heart monitor, an IV of blood dripped into her arm, Hikaru growled.
"The doctor could have mentioned she was on life support," he growled through gritted teeth.
"It's not life support, but it is similar," Kyoya stated as he walked over to her, everyone followed him.
"So, what do we talk to her about?" Neko asked, Kona smiled.
"How about the first time we met her?" she asked, Neko nodded her head. The girls had all met each other through Solar; she helped every one of them through a tough time.
"Alright, Kona, she knew you first," Saki stated, Kona nodded as she sat in a chair next to her bed, across from Hikaru, who was in the other chair. She moved a strand of Solars' hair out her face, the girl seemed almost angelic. Her face was peaceful, even though she was in a coma.
"Hey Solar," Kona started, it felt weird to her, not getting a response, "You remember the first time we met right?" she asked as she tried to fight back tears, "You helped me through some tough times," Kona started before explaining how they met.
A little girl, no older than 9 was running down the pavement, where to? She didn't know, all she knew was that she couldn't stay where she was a moment ago. Behind her voices called out to her, the voices were all too familiar to her. Her hair flew into her face as she ran.
Not too far from there, a 9 year old Solar was practicing her fighting skills, when she was knocked down by the running girl.
"Watch it," Solar growled, but once she looked at the battered and beaten girl, her expression soften, she knew what it was like, "What happened to you?" she asked, "Are you ok?"
"Come on Kona, we're going home," Solar turned to see a boy, maybe two or three years older than her, she frowned.
"Why is she battered and beaten?" Solar asked, the boy glared at her.
"None of your business shrimp," he shot back, Solar narrowed her eyes, "Come on Kona," the boy ordered, Kona got to her feet. As she walked her hand was grabbed by Solar, who pulled her back.
"You're gonna have to take her by force," she explained, the boy rolled his eyes.
"You're a pathetic little kid," he said as she stepped forwards, the minute he was in front of Solar, she grabbed him hand and flipped him before falling to the ground. The boy grunted in pain, while Solar just glared at him.
"Like I said, you'll have to take her by force," she said again. The boy got up, holding his right shoulder before running off back the way he came, screaming something about a maniac little girl. Solar smiled as she turned to the girl, then frowned.
"Come with me, I know someone who'll patch you up," she explained, the younger Kona nodded her head as she followed the blue haired girl.
"You said your name was Kona right?" Solar asked, Kona nodded her head, "I'm Solar," she added, Kona smiled as she shook her hand.
"Nice to meet you," she said, Solar smiled.
"Likewise," she answered as the two walked into the, soon to be, High School grounds.
An hour passed and before you knew it, the two girls were sat on one of the benches talking and laughing. Kona turned to Solar.
"Can you teach me how to fight like that?" she asked, Solar nodded her head.
"Yeah, no problem," she answered as the two began to rehears a fighting routine.
"You're a natural," Solar laughed as Kona helped her from the ground, the girl smiled.
"Thanks, friends?" she asked, Solar smiled wider.
"The best of friends," she answered, the two girls smiled as they walked back into the High School to get something to eat.
The group looked at Kona as she fought back the tears. Saki rested her hand on her friends shoulder, Kona let go of Solars' hand as she looked at the girls face.
"You're the strongest person I know Solar, please fight this," she whispered, Mori placed a hand on her shoulder. Kona turned, without thinking she buried her head into Moris' chest. The older boy didn't mind though as he moved Kona off the chair and into his lap as he sat in a chair.
"I'll go next," Saki smiled softly as she sat in the chair, her story wasn't as sad, but it was a great memory.
"Remember the day you were wondering around town?" she asked as she looked at Solars' face, "You got lost," she laughed a little as she carried on.
"No, no, no, NO!" a 9 year old Solar yelled as she tried to find her way out of the streets she was wondering. She rested her fingers on her temples as she felt a headache coming on.
"All I wanted was to find a candy shop, now I have no idea where I am," she muttered as she looked around, a girl with white hair caught her eyes. Solar frowned; you never saw girls with white hair in town, and especially not ones who were dressed in all white.
The girl was sat alone feeding some pigeons, she looked sad. Tear stains framed her face as she tried to hold more tears back. Solar walked up to her.
"Excuse me?" she asked, the white haired girl looked at her.
"Y-yes?" she asked, Solar sat next to her.
"Why are you here alone?" she asked, the girl smiled a little at her.
"I'm waiting for my mom," she stated, Solar looked around, the place was empty, deserted, she frowned.
"There's no one around," she answered, then looked at the girl, "I don't think she's coming," she added, the white haired girl frowned.
"No she has to, she promised," she whispered as she tried not to cry.
"What's your name?" Solar asked, the girl looked at her.
"Saki," she answered as she allowed a few tears escape her eyes, Solar smiled at her.
"My name's Solar, come with me, I know somewhere you can stay," she smiled; Saki looked at the girl in front of her before smiling.
"Ok, lead the way," she answered, Solar sweat dropped.
"Yeah, if I do that, we'll be even more lost," she stated, Saki laughed a little.
"I know the way out, come on," she said as she led Solar through the town and towards the soon to be High School, along the way they saw a light brown haired girl.
"SOLAR!" she called, Solar looked at her.
"Kona," she smiled as she hugged her best friend.
"We've been worried sick about you, where were you?" Kona asked, Solar smiled at her.
"I got lost in town, Saki helped me out," she explained as she motioned to the white haired girl who smiled, Kona looked at her.
"Hi, my name's Kona," she smiled, Saki smiled back.
"I'm Saki," she answered as she shook her hand.
"Her mom just abandoned her," Solar whispered, Kona nodded her head, the two girls didn't know what being abandoned was like, but they did know what abuse was like.
Everyone looked at Saki in shock, and here they thought she had a happy childhood.
"Smiles are only masks people wear to hide the pain inside of them," Neko whispered as she looked at Solars' body, everyone looked at her in shock.
"Where did you get that from?" Kaoru asked as he hugged a now crying Saki.
"Solar," she whispered as she looked at the girl, Fushito sat in the seat next.
"Hey chick," she smiled, "Remember the time you met me?" she asked as she smiled at the memory, "We were playing in the park, or at least, I was," she smiled as she recalled the memory.
An 11 year old Fushito played in the park on the monkey bars as she looked at her mom and little brother.
"MOMMY WATCH THIS!" Fushito shouted as she swung on the bars, her mother clapped at her.
"HIYA!" Fushito turned her head to see three girls fighting against each other. She watched with intense eyes as she tried to keep track of who was winning and losing. In the end a dark blue haired girl won.
"Come on guys, you're getting sloppy," she pouted as she turned, she saw the 11 year old Fushito looking at her. The two girls stared at each other for a while until Solar advanced towards her.
"Hey," she smiled, Fushito jumped from the monkey bars, landing perfectly on her feet.
"Hi," she smiled back; Solar looked at her in shock.
"You fight?" she asked, Fushito shook her head.
"No sorry," she answered, Solar smiled.
"It's ok, come play with us?" she asked as she dragged the girl towards her and her friends.
"I'm Solar by the way," Solar smiled, "This is Saki and Kona," the two girls nodded when they heard their names.
"Hi, my name's Fushito," Fushito smiled, Solar nodded her head.
"How about keeping track on who wins and loses?" Kona asked her, Fushito smiled and nodded her head.
"Sure thing," she answered, in the end, it was Solar who won again, she grinned happily.
"You sure you don't fight?" she asked, Fushito shook her head.
"Nope," she answered with a smiled.
"Well, if it isn't the nerd Fushito," came a boys voice, the four girls turned to see two boys. Solar narrowed her eyes as she stepped forwards Fushito stopped her.
"Don't bother, they're not worth it," she muttered as she turned back to Kona and Saki, the two boys stepped forwards, one of them grabbed her arm.
"What did you say?" he asked, Fushito looked at him, then her mom.
"Look, kid, let me go, or you'll regret it," she answered, he scoffed before trying to hit her.
"What the fuck?" Solar asked as he tried, but his fist only came into contact with Fushitos' hand. The girl wrapped her hand around his fist and squeezed, a cry of pain was heard from the boy, the three girls watching allowed their mouths to drop in shock.
"Like I said, you'll regret it," Fushito muttered as she kneed him in the nose. The two boys ran off away from the girl in fright, Fushito turned to the three gaping girls, a wide smile on her face. Solar began clapping for her, while the other two cheered.
"Way to go Fushito," Saki complimented.
"You showed them," Kona added, Solar stepped forwards.
"I thought you didn't fight?" she asked, Fushito smiled innocently.
"I don't," she paused, "Unless I really have to," she added, it was then that the three girls knew they had a new member of their little group.
A single tear escaped Fushitos' eyes as she finished the story; the boys looked at her, while Kyoya reached his hand out to her. Fushito took it before walking with him over to a different space in the room, Neko took her seat.
"My turn now," she smiled, "You remember when we met?" she asked, "It was my first day of school, and things were going so well," she added as she began to recall the memory, it was a happy one, but also an unhappy one.
A thirteen year old Solar, Saki, Fushito and Kona were all laughing in the yard as they talked, punched and kicked the other, only for fun.
Meanwhile a 12 year old Neko was walking down the hallways of her new High School. She had only just moved in, in the middle of the year, she didn't like it, everyone was mean to her.
The girl came to the yard, she had no idea where to go next, a bruise on her right cheek darkened her features a little, but she was still happy, more or less.
As she walked, she realised she had no idea where her next lesson was, therefore she needed someone to show her. Every person she asked turned her down, said they didn't know or just ignored her.
It was then that she heard Solar and her friends laughing about nothing mainly. The girl gulped as she walked over to the four girls, she knew who they were. They were the toughest girls in school, almost everyone looked up to them, as she neared them, they stopped laughing and talking.
"Erm," Neko couldn't get her words out.
"You're that new girl," Kona pointed out, Fushito nodded her head as she studied the girl.
"Damn what was her name?" Saki asked, Solar rolled her eyes.
"Your name's Neko right?" she asked, Neko nodded her head.
"How did you know?" she asked, Solar smiled.
"I've lived here for a while, the Principle's like a father to me, I'm Solar," she answered, "This is Kona, Fushito and Saki," she added on, each girl said their respective hello.
"Hi," Neko smiled, "I was wondering if you could show me where class 3-B is?" she asked, Solar smiled.
"Sure, I'll take you there when the bell goes," she answered, Neko nodded, just as she was about to walk away Solar stopped her.
"Where are you going?" Fushito asked, Neko turned back around, Solar let go of her arm.
"To sit?" Neko asked, quite unsure, Saki shook her head.
"No way girl, you're explaining how you got the ugly bruise, then Solar's gonna take you to cover it up," she said, Neko smiled a little but then frowned.
"It's nothing," she answered, Solar frowned.
"A shiner like that's not nothing," Kona answered, Solar nodded.
"Yeah, we've all had our bad experiences," she explained as she grabbed a makeup wipe and wiped her face. Neko gasped at the size of the large scar on her face, "My mother was abusive," she explained, the other three girls nodded.
"My mother abandoned me," Saki added.
"My father and brother abused me," Kona explained.
"I was bullied quite badly," Fushito finished, Neko smiled a little at them.
"Well, my father hit me this morning because I told him to stop hitting my mom," she explained, Solar placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Well, come on, we'll get that covered for you," she explained as she showed Neko to her room.
The five girls smiled as they entered the room. Solar instantly went over to her window to open it.
"I hate how stuffy it gets in these rooms," she muttered, the others nodded their heads, "You sit on the bed, I'll be two min," Solar said as she disappeared into the bathroom.
"You'll be wearing Solars' makeup, but it won't be anything too heavy, just press powder or something," Saki explained, Neko nodded her head as she looked around the room.
"Ok, I'm back," Solar called as she walked over to Neko, the girl kneeled in front of her as she began to apply the press powder, "tell me if I hurt you," she said as she carried on applying it.
About 10 minutes later the job was done. Neko smiled as she looked at the older girl in front of her.
"Thank you," she smiled as the bell went, her eyes went wide.
"Oh no, I'm gonna be late," she gasped, Solar held her hand up.
"Girls, get to class, see you at dinner," she said, the three girls nodded as they left her room, Solar turned back to Neko, "Let me put this back and I'll take you to your class," she said, Neko nodded her head.
"Aren't you going to class?" she asked, Solar returned from the bathroom a minute late, she shrugged.
"Nah, I'm ahead in all my lessons," she stated, then smiled, "I may not look it, but I am smart," she added.
A few minutes later the girls were outside Nekos' class, Solar knocked on the door before entering, she did have manners.
"Yo," she said as she entered, ok maybe not, "This is Neko, she's the new student, she's been with me," she added, Neko waved shyly to everyone.
"That would explain why she's late," the teacher sighed, Solar turned to him.
"You got a problem with that?" she asked as she sent him a glare, the teacher shook his head, Solar missed the glares all the class were giving Neko.
"Take your seat at the back Neko," the teacher ordered, Neko turned to Solar with an uneasy look.
"See ya after class," she smiled as she walked out, Neko nodded as she held her head high, she walked towards her seat.
An hour passed as Neko got up from her seat; she walked out the door but ran into a group of boys and girls.
"Just what dya think you're doing with Solar?" a girl asked.
"She's only anyway near you because you're the new kid," a boy stated.
"She doesn't even like you and neither to her friends," said another girl.
"You're just a pathetic weakling," said one of the other boys.
"Hey," Solars' voice came, "First off, she's with me 'cause I said she could be. Second off, don't matter if she's the new kid, I like her. Third off," Solar stopped as the girls appeared behind her.
"We DO like her, which is more than we can say for you losers," the three chorused.
"And finally, if you're calling her a 'pathetic weakling', then just look in the mirror," Solar then began to glare, "If you say one more thing hurtful, insulting or wrong to Neko, I will personally put you six feet under, no one messes with my friends," she glared, the kids took off running at that note, Neko turned to Solar.
"Thank you," she smiled, Solar nodded her head.
"What are friends for?" she asked, Neko looked at her in shock.
"We're friends?" she asked, the four girls in front of her smiled.
"No duh," they chorused as they ruffled the girls' hair, Neko just pouted.
"Come on Solar, I know you're stronger than this, please don't give up," Neko muttered as she cried into Honeys' chest. The Host Club sighed.
"Anyone have any other memories of Solar?" Tamaki asked, then turned to Haruhi.
"I only remember being friends with her, it was so long ago I can hardly remember," she stated, Kona smiled a little.
"I have one," she answered as she took the seat again, "Remember the day I said I was dying my hair?" she asked as she began her tale.
"YOU'RE DOING WHAT?" Solar yelled as her friends covered their ears up.
"I'm only going on a date jheeze," Kona answered, Solar shuddered.
"I know but with him?" she asked, Kona nodded. She wasn't really going on a date with anyone; she just wanted an excuse not to see the girls for a night so she could dye her hair.
"Yeah, now see ya," she answered as she walked out of the room, Solar turned to the other girls in the room.
"Kona's growing up," Fushito faked a tear; Saki shook her head as she returned to reading a magazine.
"What's a date?" Neko asked, Solar face palmed at that, while Fushito and Saki laughed their heads off, Neko just smiled innocently.
"Morning," Kona greeted the next day, Solar and the girls looked up to her, their mouths dropped open.
"What happened to you?" Saki asked as she circled Kona.
"I tried dying my hair red, turned orange instead," she shrugged, Solar stood up.
"You did this last night?" she asked, Kona nodded her head, Solar glomped her, "Oh thank Kami, I was worried I would be planning your wedding and you would be marrying some ugly twat," she muttered, Kona pushed her off.
"Hands off, and ew heck no," she muttered, Solar looked at her head again.
"Oh yeah also," Solar paused a minute, "YOU DID WHAT?" she asked, Kona held her ears as her friend screamed, she knew that would be coming.
"I think it suits you onee-chan," Neko said as she looked at Kona, who smiled at her.
"Thanks Neko," she answered as she sat next to her, Solar studied her a minute.
"Honestly, it does suit you, but why didn't you tell us?" she asked, Kona shrugged.
"You'd try to get me to change my mind," she answered.
"No I wouldn't," Solar said, all the girls gave her a look that said 'Did-you-really-just-say-that?' Solar sighed, "Ok, maybe I would, but that's only because I couldn't see you without brown hair, but that looks awesome on you," she complimented.
"Thank you," Kona smiled, Solar smiled, but on the inside she was smirking.
"Welcome, now I have something to attend to," she explained as she turned around, "AYUKINO! KONA WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU'LL GO ON A DATE WITH HER!" she screamed, Kona glared as the entire school ground turned to look at her. A boy with brown greasy hair, rectangle black glasses, ankle high trouser and brown shoes turned around, his shirt was tucked into his trousers. He smiled goofily at the group of girls.
"Sure thing," he answered, his voice sounded like he had a cold.
"There, now you weren't lying to us last night," Solar smiled, Kona glared as she stood up.
"You have five seconds to live," she said, Solar gulped, "One," she began running, "FIVE!" Kona yelled as she began chasing her.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO TWO THREE AND FOUR?" she asked, Kona only carried on chasing her, while Fushito, Saki and Neko sweat dropped.
The group of boys looked at Kona in shock, before laughing a little. Neko, Fushito and Saki were laughing their heads off.
"Oh man, that was a great day," Saki smiled, Kona nodded her head as she looked at Solars' still sleeping form.
"I don't think this is working," she sighed, Neko looked at Solars' body.
"You mean," Saki started but was unable to finish.
"We might," Fushito looked away from her friend with tears in her eyes.
"Lose her?" Neko asked as she cried into Honeys' chest again. Kona nodded her head as she hugged Mori again, who was standing behind her.
Hikaru sighed as he took Solars' hand, Kaoru looked at the other and nodded his head, gradually everyone began to file out the room.
"Solar," Hikaru muttered as he looked at her still form, "I'm so sorry, I should have never yelled, if I hadn't we wouldn't be in this situation," he apologized, taking a deep breath, he continued, "IT's true, I don't know what you went through, what it's like to watch your family die, or the fear of losing someone close. But I know if that time ever came, I would do anything I could to save them, just like you did," he admitted, "I'm so sorry I yelled, I had no right, but please don't leave us," he paused, "Don't leave me. I need you Solar, a need you more than anyone else in this world," he confessed as he kissed her hand, then leaned over to kiss her lips.
Slumping back into the chair, Hikaru focused on her face for another moment or so.
"I love you," he whispered as he looked at her.
Minutes passed, nothing happened. Hikaru was shocked when something squeezed his hand, he looked at Solar, she was still. Had he imagined it? Another squeeze, he looked at her hand, sure enough she was moving. A moan came from Solar as her eyes began to flutter open, she looked around the room.
"H-hospital?" she asked as she took in her surroundings, her body felt like she had been dragged to hell, through the fire and back out.
"You're in the hospital," Hikaru confirmed, Solar jumped a little at his voice, she looked at him.
"I-I thought, if I got injured, you wouldn't be by my hospital bed?" she asked, her voice was weak, confused and frightened?
"Solar, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, I swear. I should have tried to put myself in your shoes, I would do anything for the ones I loved," Hikaru admitted, Solar smiled a little at him.
"But, why are you here?" her voice was still weak, Hikaru smiled sadly.
"Because I love you," he answered, "I don't want to lose you," he added, Solar smiled a little as she looked at him. She moved her hand to her face as she caressed it.
"I love you too," she answered, her voice becoming stronger. Hikaru stood up; he walked to the sink, filled a glass with water then gave it to her. While Solar was drinking he walked to the door.
"She's awake," Hikaru called to everyone, they ran straight into the room, sure enough Solar was awake and sat up, Hikaru frowned.
"I'm not going anywhere," she held her hands up in defeat, "I was just uncomfortable," she added quickly, Hikaru smiled, he was too happy to be mad right now.
"I'd hug you all, but my chest kills," Solar pointed out, Mori stuck his head out the door as he called for a doctor.
"We're so glad you're ok," Kona smiled, Solar nodded her head.
"No joke, I thought I was gonna die when I saw the gun," she muttered, then looked at everyone, "How am I alive?" she asked, at that note, the doctor walked in.
"Ah, Solar you're awake," he smiled, Solar nodded her head.
"Yeah, how am I alive?" she asked, the doctor told her everything he told the others, including her release date, which out be around the beginning of winter, which was around 2 weeks.
"Ok, thanks doc," Solar smiled as the doctor walked out of the room.
"You need to take it easy," Hikaru ordered, Solar smiled at him.
"No promises," she answered, everyone glared at her, "Ok, ok promise, I'll take it easy for a while," she smiled, everyone nodded as they began talking to Solar. Kyoya looked at Solar who was smiling and laughing, Fushito stood next to him.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked, Kyoya nodded as he began tracking down the Suzuyuka Debt Collectors, or as Solar called them the 'You're-gonna-regret-pointing-a-gun-at-me-you-soon-to-be-deadman'.
YAY SOLAR NOT DEAD, I couldn't kill her otherwise the story would have no further plot and no awesome fight scene coming in later chapters. Yes Christmas is nearing the large group, if you would like a Christmas chapter for this story then just ask, I will make one, other than that please REVIEW :D
