Chapter 14

Kyouya arrived just a few minutes later at his personal room. Kusakabe was waiting outside. "The doctor is inside." "Thank you. You are free to leave, Kusakabe." The tall man nodded and made its way to leave the hospital whereas Kyouya entered the room in front of him. The doctor and a nurse were standing next to Mukuro's bed checking one of the equipment.

"Hibari-sama." The doctor greeted the boy stepping a bit aside to make some room for the raven. "What has happened?" "Well we were just making sure that everything was alright, but then suddenly beside his generated heartbeat and the breathing his brain started to work again."

Kyouya took a look at the machines not understanding what that actually meant. "Explain this to me." He claimed, resting his eyes on the blue haired boy. "Well since he is dead there shouldn't be any brain activity at all." The doctor seemed worried, but Kyouya's face brightened up a bit.

"That means he's alive." "Theoretically he is, but practically not. He still needs all the equipment to stay alive and I cannot explain why his brain just started to work again. It seems like he's trying to get alive again." Kyouya reached for the illusionist's hand squeezing it lightly. Was he really coming back just right now? Maybe it just would take another while, until he finally had gained control over his body again.

"Hibari-sama? Did you hear what I have said?" The raven blinked. He really hadn't since he had been busy with his own thoughts and the wish to see Mukuro just opening his eyes. "No." He stated, waiting for the doctor to repeat. "I said that this kind of brain activity is not normal. It is way too high. It is like his mind is going crazy trying to think of several things at a same time. We have never measured such a high frequency, not even during someone having a nightmare."

Kyouya didn't say anything. On the one hand this fact scared him and he was wondering what Mukuro was actually doing right now, but on the other hand he thought that this probably was totally normal for someone being in hell right now. At least he hoped that this was the reason for his abnormal brainactivity.

"Hibari-sama, what shall we do?" "Keep him alive, of course. And get him another blood bottle." He ordered still keeping Mukuro's hand in his own. The doctor just nodded and gave the nurse a sign to get blood preservation for the body. She silently left the room.

"Hibari-sama, I don't know what you are trying to do with this body, but the whole thing is just absolutely frightening. No one can be reanimated if already dead." Kyouya didn't look up, but his cold voice was enough to let the doctor know that he shouldn't say anything else. "He can." The man in the white coat just nodded and left the room as well, leaving the boy and the lifeless body alone.

Kyouya had been waiting for a long time but nothing had happened. Mukuro hadn't even blinked. The only thing that went on was his brain activity that was shown as a line on a screen just like the generated heartbeat. But compared to the heartbeat line the one showing the brain activity was extremely irregular going up at down all the time, drawing a rather disturbing pattern.

The raven gently touched Mukuro's forehead. He was cold. "What are you doing? Why does it take so long?" He wondered while stroking some blue hair strands out of the boy's face. Suddenly the door flung open making Kyouya to twitch in surprise. Angrily he turned around and was just about to discipline the one who had disturbed him when he completely froze.

"Father." Kyouya's voice was weak and fear appeared in his eyes while watching the man who stood in the doorway right in front of him. The man examined the room until his eyes met the blue haired illusionist who was laying on the bed. "What are you doing here, Kyouya?" He asked coming a bit closer.

The raven started to tremble lightly. He didn't say anything. "Have you received my message from your brother's?" The boy slowly nodded. His whole body felt like it would never be able to move again and his heart had almost stopped beating. There had never been a man he feared more than his own father.

"Good. I'm here to take you with me." The man said grabbing Kyouya's collar, pulling him over to the door. "N-no!" He tried to free himself, but his father's grip was too strong. "Are you seriously disobeying me, son?" The black haired man gave him a deadly glare. Kyouya shook his head in silence.

"Then let the hand of this…corpse go and come with me." Kyouya hesitated. He didn't want to leave Mukuro alone, not right now when he was about to wake up again, but he was also scared of his father. When he felt the other hand of the tall man on his shoulder, almost breaking the bones, he immediately let go of Mukuro's hand. It would be better to obey his father for the time being. Mukuro would wake up without him as well.

But then something happened he didn't think of. His father called for the doctor and Kyouya already got a rather bad feeling. "Hibari-sama, you are here? What can I do for you?" The man in the white coat asked. Kyouya's father just pointed to Mukuro.

"Turn of all the equipment and get him out of the room. I don't want a corpse in my hospital." Kyouya's eyes widened in fear. "No, father, please. Don't do this!" He begged trying to force his voice not being too shaky. His father just gave him a dark look. "Are you questioning my decisions? This is a corpse, Kyouya. This little bastard is dead. There is no need to be attached to that bugger any longer. It was ridiculous in the first place."

"No he is not dead, you don't understand. Father, please." The only thing Kyouya received was a fist straight into the face. He stumbled backwards almost losing his balance, but his father gripped him by his collar again. "You will come with me now and the hospital stuff will take care of this nasty body."

The raven could feel blood coming from his nose and he felt dizzy. Nevertheless he was looking over to Mukuro, just realizing that the doctor was already turning off all the equipment and machines. And like that he could feel how his heart was shattering into pieces while his father pulled him out of the room.
