When Keiji woke up, he found himself at the hospital. Next to him was a plate of food that smelled really good. It was a burger, an apple, a brownie, and juice. He took it and began eating it. While eating, he began laughing and laughing about what happened last night. Then someone came into the room. It was his doctor.
"How are you feeling Keiji?" asked the doctor.
"I'm feeling great," he replied smiling. "And you?"
"I'm good," said the doctor. "Now um, why don't you tell me what happened last night?"
Keiji thought for a moment. "If I tell you, will you promise to help me?"
The doctor nodded his head. "Of course. Anything."
Keiji explained everything that happened, even about how he faked the seizure.
"Keiji! How could you? This is not funny! You had me worried sick!" said the doctor.
"I had a reason to! Come on! Right?" Keiji replied.
"But that's not nice. Don't you know that it was a waste of money for your parents paying you to be here when you don't need to be here?" asked the doctor.
"Tch. So? Money's not a problem when it comes to my family," Keiji replied.
"Hmm. True," he replied. "But still..."
"How much do you want doctor?" Keiji asked.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked...
Meanwhile, all of Keiji's close friends gathered together in the hospital elevator and went to the room that he was in.
"Excuse me but no one is allowed in there at this time," said Keiji's doctor.
"How is he doing?" Kanetsugu asked.
"He's not doing well. He hasn't even woken up yet," replied the doctor.
Sakon looked into the room and saw a plate of finished food. "Are you sure about that?"
"Yeah, I'm sure," he replied.
"Then why is his food finished?" Sakon asked.
"Well, I uhh..went to check up on him and my stomach was growling so I decided to eat his food," he replied.
"You ate Keiji's food?" Yukimura gasped. "Then what is he going to eat when he wakes up?"
"I'm sorry to say this but your friend Keiji will not live long. Time is estimated to be about three days until he leaves this world," said the doctor, looking down. They all looked at each other with sadness.
"What? Why? You're kidding!" they shouted.
"It seems like he got a really bad heart attack due to fright and it caused his blood to slowly stop flowing and in about three days, he will take his last breath. I'm sorry boys," said the doctor. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a very important meeting."
"But doctor! Isn't there anything that you can do to help him?" Kanetsugu shouted.
"I'm sorry but no," replied the doctor, as he walked down the hallway and into an elevator. Keiji's friends looked at each other and began crying...
Two days have passed as Keiji layed down on the hospital bed watching an 80's show. "Man, this is so boring," he said to a nurse.
"Well, you wanted this, didn't you?" said the nurse.
"Yeah. I know," Keiji replied. "At least I get to miss school." Then his doctor came into the room.
"Keiji, I have news for you that you will enjoy," he began.
Keiji smiled. "What is it?"
"Your classmates that you went camping with are all going to visit you tomorrow and say their so called last words to you. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy that," he said, smiling.
Keiji formed a big smile on his face. "Awesome! Can't wait for that! Hahahah!"
The next day, Keiji's doctor set up a camera at the corner of the room so that Keiji could get to watch their reactions later.
"They're coming! Pretend to sleep!" said the doctor. Keiji smiled and then pretended to sleep. He heard the door open and a lot of footsteps approaching him. He heard crying and he so wanted to laugh.
"Keiji.." began Mitsunari. "You've always been a jerk to me but..." he said, sniffing, "you've always been a good friend as well and I'm going to miss you...and I'm sorry for being a part of that stupid vampire plan. I wish we never even came up with it and I know you're probably going to hate me for that. Once again, I'm sorry and I want you to know that I'll always miss you..."
Kanetsugu walked to Keiji while wiping his tears. "Keiji, I can't believe that this is actually happening. You're one of my best friends and I'll never forget you. You're always going to be my friend no matter what. Hopefully we meet again in our next life..."
"Hey man," Musashi said, crying. "You're my homie...I love kicking it with you and getting high on our kickbacks...You're a good friend and we're all going to miss you..."
Yukimura cried and cried and tried to force himself to stop crying. "Keiji, you're my bestest friend that I ever had...No, you were more like a brother to me and I wish time would permit us to speak together once more but I see that you're never going to wake up again...I'm sorry for not telling you that Kotaro was behind you...It was all my fault...If only I had warned you...You would still be alive...Forgive me Keiji," he said, crying so much. He couldn't even talk anymore and fell to the floor crying even more.
Keiji wanted to laugh so much but he forced himself not to laugh. It was just too funny!
"Keiji...you're my best guy friend that I ever had and I wish that we could've been more than friends or something...I always kinda had a thing for you...Please wake up and talk to me one last time...Please!" Kaihime shouted, crying and shaking him but he made no attempt to open his eyes. "I'm going to miss you a lot Keiji..."
Keiji laughed even more on the inside because Kaihime confessed how she truly felt about him. Usually she would never do those kind of things.
Masamune walked to Keiji. "Hey Keiji...I'm sorry for getting you in trouble when Ranmaru and Musashi were fighting. It was totally my fault and I'm a selfish jerk for running away and making Tadakatsu think that it was you who was the first one to tell them to fight. If I can turn back time, I will take the blame for it. And I'm going to miss your big blonde head that I see every day in class. Farewell."
"Keiji" began Himiko. "I don't know much about you but we've been going to the same school ever since middle school. I'm going to miss seeing you around and the humor that you bring to our school. Goodbye Keiji."
"Hello Keiji," Yoshimoto started. "Before you leave, I wanted to teach you how to play Kemari with me but I see that you're not waking up at all. Maybe one day in Heaven I could teach you. I'll miss seeing you around."
"Ey bro...You're like a brother to me and I wish that things would've ended differently for you...you're an awesome guy and I don't know how we're going to live without you," Kiyomasa said, crying. "You bring joy and laughter to our crew and I'm going to miss hearing your loud voice every day. I just want you to know that I'm never going to forget you...See you when my time is up bro..."
"Hey Keiji," Magoichi began. "You're a good friend to me and I'm going to miss talking to you in class about girls and getting off topic. I'm going to miss hearing about all the crazy things you do outside of class. Hopefully we could be friends again in our next life.."
"Keiji I don't know much about you but I just want to say that I'll miss seeing you around," Nagamasa said, looking at him with sadness.
"Keiji," said Ginchiyo. "I've known you for a very long time but we don't talk much. I want you to know that I'm going to miss seeing you at school and it's just hard to believe that someone you've known for a long time isn't going to be around any longer. I'll miss you."
"Keiji I hardly know you but I just wanted to say that I hope you live a better life in the future. No one deserves to die young," said Gracia. "And I'll miss seeing you."
Masanori approached Keiji while crying. "Hey dude...you're one of my closest friends that I consider a brother...I can just be myself around you and you still accept me for me...I'm going to miss the crazy things we do as friends and I'm going to miss how we mess around with Mitsunari...I really hope that we meet again in our next life and hopefully we can still be good friends...Later homie..."
Keiji almost formed a smile but held it inside. His cheeks were starting to burn because of holding in his laughter.
"Keiji, even though you pretended to be me and bought gifts for Sakon and lying that it was me, you're my classmate and we were supposed to graduate together this year and I'm going to miss seeing you at school," said Ina, wiping her tears.
"Hey Keiji...You're one of the craziest guys that I know and I'm going to miss your thunderous voice at school...I hope we meet again someday.." said Kunoichi.
"Ey Keiji, I'm so sorry," Sakon said, crying his eyes out. "I'm sorry for paying Kotaro to scare you at camp..It was all my idea and my fault and I take the blame for it...Please forgive me..Even though you trolled me about the gifts from Ina, you're always going to be my brother and I'll never forget you. I hope we meet again and still be close friends.." he said, crying and getting on his knees.
Keiji opened his left eye and tiny bit and saw Sakon kneeling down. His smile of laughter almost bursted out and he didn't know how much more of this he could take before he ended up laughing.
"Hey Keiji," said Motochika. "I just want to say that I'm going to miss seeing you at kickbacks and getting drunk with you. You're a good friend to many people and you will truly be missed by us all."
"Keiji, I can't believe that this is actually happening...I have some things that I want to tell you and I hope you'll forgive me," Goemon said crying. "In our sophomore year, I stole one of your underwears and sold it for a thousand dollars since you were pretty famous with the girls at our school. And I took your ipod when you left it in class. I'm sorry for being such a thief but hey, that's what I am. It was nice knowing you and maybe we can meet again soon..."
Nene approached Keiji with the most reddest eyes ever. "Keiji, you've always been my neighbor, my classmate, and my childhood friend. You're a crazy guy and even though you lied to me about leaking on my period, you're still my friend and I'm always going to miss you. Goodbye Keiji.."
"Hey Keiji," said Oichi. "Even though you hit me on the face with a ball, you're my classmate and I'll forgive you for that. I'll miss seeing you in class with your annoying voice. Well, goodbye Keiji.."
"Hey nephew," began Toshiie. He had been crying for such a long time. "You do the most annoying things ever but you're my nephew and I'll always love you. Even though you pranked me good with that prayer doll, I still forgive you and will truly miss you. I can't picture how things would be like without you being a part of my family anymore. Hopefully we can be born as Maeda's again in our next life and be close once again...Goodbye..."
Keiji ended up smiling and quickly stopped, but for some reason, no one saw because they were all too busy crying and looking down.
"Keiji...," said Hanzo. "I'm only going to say this once so hopefully you're listening somehow. I'm sorry for always appearing and then disappearing...It was fun to mess with your mind, doing things that only you can see...I hardly know you but I just want to say that it was nice seeing you around...Farewell..."
Mrs. Okuni looked down and approached Keiji. "Keiji, you're one of my favorite students and I owe you an apology for allowing your classmates to do that to you. And for that, I'm going to quit my job as a teacher and move somewhere far away to stay away from shame. I'll miss you and once again, I'm really sorry for failing my duty as a teacher."
"Alright," said the doctor. "Now that everyone is finished doing their speech, lets give Keiji a moment of silence as we watch him take his last breath..."
Everyone cried in silence and froze when Keiji's heartbeat went to zero. Now they all cried and surrounded Keiji as teardrops fell on his face.
"NO!" shouted Yukimura, crying so much.
"Wake up, Keiji!" yelled Sakon, shaking him.
"This can't be happening," Kanetsugu said, crying in disbelief.
After about thirty seconds, Keiji's body began moving slowly. He was waking up and his heartbeat came back.
"He's alive!" Masanori shouted.
"Keiji, are you okay?" Mitsunari said, wiping his tears.
The doctor's jaws dropped. "I don't believe it...you guys just..."
"We just what?" said Kaihime.
"You guys brought him back to life! You guys did the hundred tear drop spell and brought him back to life! Its genius!" shouted the doctor.
"What? Really?" shouted Sakon, wiping his tears too.
"No, not really," said the doctor, sarcastically.
"Then why did his body move?" asked Yukimura.
"It appears that he's turning into a zombie! Run!" shouted the doctor. Everyone looked at Keiji. He wasn't moving anymore. All of a sudden, his eyes opened.
"UHHHHHH!" Keiji moaned, as everyone screamed and ran towards the door. The doctor blocked the door and began laughing. Suddenly, Keiji began laughing too.
"Now don't you guys dare prank me! Cuz you know I'll get you guys a thousand times worse! Hahahaha!" Keiji laughed, falling to the floor.
"Keiji! How could you!" shouted his classmates angrily, but at the same time happy that he was alive.
"Your guy's speeches! Too funny! Hahahah!" he said, laughing even more. For pranking his friends and classmates, he got slapped on the arm by everyone except for Yukimura.
"Damn, you got us hella good!" said Musashi, laughing. Everyone made fun of each other's speeches and pretty soon, they all went to a buffet to hang out.
