Youhei's P.O.V

I sat in the hospital room next to her bed. Her body was limp and she almost looked like she was sleeping minus the wires travelling from machines. The last 2 weeks seemed to have passed like a nightmare I went to school and then travelled to the hospital… Or some days I spent chasing Tatskichi. We had built a really weird friendship well it was less of a friendship but more of a toleration for each other. I glanced up at the clock '10:05' I had no point of staying Fuyukos mom had been informed but had not yet been able to travel back to her as she was stuck over in the UK as I believe. I slowly left the room after I ruffled her hair and told her how much I was going to beat her up. I made my way back to my dorm slowly I felt bad for some reason for not being able to help her in any other way. I knew that they had Tatskichi in the hospital with her for a while as he had no one else to watch him at home and he was to young to be left on his own… Perhaps I could help.

The next day I woke up early I am not sure exactly what time but it looked pretty early I made my way to the Hospital it was pretty muh empty when I got there the usual rush of people were obviously left until the later times of night. I knew exactly where Fuyuko was resting and where they had Tatskichi put for the time. I went straight to the desk and began my log dragging day I had to fill in lots of papers. After a few hours I was led to where Tatskichi was. He looked a mess his hair was sticking up on end he didn't look like he had washed in a while and also his eyes were red from crying. He looked up at me with what may have been a disgusted face.

"Can I help you?" His voice was croaky and he really did sound horrible

"Look, Tatskichi I know you don't really like me…but I thought it might be a good idea to take you back to your house… For awhile…" I really had no idea how to tell him without sounding like an idiot but by the look on his face he already knew what I was going to say.

"Fine…" He dragged himself out of the bed and got all of the stuff he had at the hospital together into a small bag. I smiled at him and after a while we were on our way out of the hospital I tried to tidy his hair out a little but he whacked my hand away.

A week has passed since that point and me and Tatskichi had been getting on great he stayed in his sisters room and I was in the guest room his school finished a few minutes before mine so after school he met me at the gate and I took him to the hospital to visit his sister then we would go back to his house and we would cook something small to eat… Normally it involved Tatski just telling me to do simple stuff. I felt as though I was just doing all this to distract him from where his sister was. Tatski woke up this morning in one of the happiest moods I have ever seen him in.

"I didn't have a nightmare last night Youhei… Do you think that maybe my sister will get better today?" He spoke with a wide smile and I had no idea how to respond

"Well… There is a chance… But lets just hope shall we?" I smiled back and tried to sound as hopeful and happy as he did. We travelled to the hospital again this time accompanied by Tomoya and Nagisa. Nagisa was really the only one as hopeful as Tatskichi Me and Tomoya just stood a few steps behind them my eyes were fixed on Tatskichi I was slightly worried about him, he hadn't eaten properly yet and he looked really pale.

"Hey, Youhei?" This was the first time either me or Tomoya had spoke I glanced at him to find him staring in the direction of Nagisa and Tatskichi.

"Yes?"

"You like Fuyuko don't you?" He didn't look at me once my eyes widened slightly and I looked away from him I didn't know how to answer… To be honest I didn't even know the answer myself… I shrugged and smiled slightly that was the last time either of us spoke until we got to the Hospital. We had to wait in the waiting area longer then usual and Tatskichis' usual smile had disappeared Nagisa was trying her hardest to keep him hopeful but it was obvious she was as worried as him. Everything seemed to go silent for a while I didn't notice the doctors rushing into Fuyukos ward until Tomoya shook my shoulder I looked up and my eyes widened I had no idea what to think… Thoughts flashed through my mind I noticed Tatskichi out of the corner of my eye crying into nagisa who was hugging him tightly. I got up and left for the toilets I just stood in there locking the door behind me I wanted to curl up in a corner and cry… But why? She tried paralyzing me atleast twice… But then what Nagisa had said… Perhaps… My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door

"Youhei? Are you ok?" Tomoya sounded slightly worried

"Im fine.. I mean why wouldn't I be?" I laughed slightly and walked out to him flicking my hair. He raised his eyebrows and stared at me for a while before shrugging I followed him back to where we was sat Tatskichi was still being held by Nagisa but he had stopped crying his eyes fixed on the door tear stains still marked on his cheeks. I sat down on the seat beside him and ruffled his hair slightly

"How are you feeling Tatskichi?" I sat in silence whilst waiting for him to answer, after a while he moved away from Nagisa and faced me he shrugged slightly and sighed "I see… But don't worry she is going to be fine I promise you." I smiled at him and his eyes brightened slightly as he looked back at the door a slight bit more hopeful. It was silly I felt as though no one would understand how much I wanted to cry but then I looked at Tatskichi and it reminded me that he does… and the pain I feel is nothing compared to what he is feeling. A few hours passed before we saw some doctors leave Fuyukos room Tomoya went and spoke to one of the nurses.

"She said we just have to wait a few moments and one of the doctors will be out to see us… There is only one thing only 2 people can go in and see her at a time…" He looked like he was about to say something else but stopped talking, I nodded slowly obviously Tatskichi would be going in… But who else?

"Perhaps Nagisa should go with Tatskichi?" I looked over at Nagisa and she shook her head

"No… I think you should Youhei… I mean you have been looking after Tatski for her… It only seems fair for you to go in" She smiled slightly and I went to refuse when an old looking doctor walked up to us he had black glasses on and stared at his papers in his hand not bothering to make any eye contact.

"You must be here for " He stared up at us counting how many there were "You are aware that only 2 are allowed to go in?" Nagisa pushed me forwards and nodded answering for all of us

"Yes, These 2 are going to be visiting today" She smiled widely as the doctor lead me and Tatskichi to wards Fuyuko I held my hand on Tatskichis shoulder his hands were shaking slightly we seemed to walk slower then I had ever walked in my lifetime.

"Fuyuko!"
