Ikuto's fever hasn't went down at all and it's already been a week. Rima says I at to much like a wife or a mom but I just can't help it. Ikuto basically save my life. I don't have as many PTSD episodes and I'm no where near as depressed as I was when first showed up here. Ikuto was the one to chance all that in me. Now, Ikuto is sick and I haven't been helping him at all. Sure, his fever hasn't gotten up any but it hasn't went down either. I could hear my door open behind me, but I didn't turn around. Ikuto still seemed like he was suffering.
"You're still by his side, huh?" Rima teased. I didn't move though. I haven't for the past week.
"Girl, you have got to lighten up! I'm starting to become more worried about you more so than my idiotic brother!" Utau scolded. It didn't bother me though. Ikuto hasn't left my side no matter what happened, why on earth should I leave his? "Are you ignoring me so I will pay for the hospital bill?!" She accused. I shook my head softly.
"It just doesn't make any sense…" I said.
"What doesn't make any sense?" Nagi asked. I leaned forward, grabbed the rag off of his forehead and put it back in the cold water.
"How his fever hasn't changed… It's not getting any worse and it's not getting any better." I answered. I was starting to get a headache.
"Maybe it's because of what you're doing that it hasn't gotten any worse." Kairi suggested. Since it came from him, I knew he didn't mean it as to make me feel better.
"Kairi-kun is right! Amu-chii must be doing something right!" Yaya cheered. If one good thing has happened about Ikuto getting sick, it's that I got to work on the manga I wanted to work on. I shook my head. If that was true, he would've started showing signs of getting better. Nothing had changed. I ringed out the rag before putting it back on his forehead. Everyone stayed silent for a while.
"I brought your home work again." Kairi said as I heard him walk over to my desk. "Working on that project again?" I nodded my head. "When are you going to let us read it?" I shrugged.
"Don't know." I mumbled.
"Fine!" Utau yelled. I just placed my forehead to the edge of the bed. I hadn't gotten much sleep since Ikuto got sick. "I'll pay for the damn hospital bill!" I jumped and turned to her. All their eyes went to shock. I couldn't help but to smile. I ran over and hugged her.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I thanked before rushing over to Ikuto. I unplugged the stupid blanket with the heater in it. Stupid thing took five hours to find. I packet it up anyways, just in case he needed it at the hospital. I went to move Ikuto unto my shoulders but Kukai and Nagi gently pushed me to the side before they both picked up Ikuto. I felt relief for the first time in weeks. Ikuto could finally get better! "I'll pay you back one day, Utau! I promise!" I swore before leading the boys out the room and to the drive way.
"Why don't we just call for an ambulance?" Kukai asked.
"It's twenty three hundred dollars to be transported by ambulance. They're not even as fast as having someone drive you there." I told. It was true. It has happened to me. I felt bad that Mama and Papa had to waste that much money after that. I got in the backseat of Utau's car, with Ikuto. Utau and Kukai got up front. I'm sure the rest were in Nagi's car. It wasn't long till we were on our way to the hospital. I covered Ikuto up with the heating blanket even though I couldn't plug it in. His head was placed in my lap. I didn't mind it though. I liked running my fingers through his hair. It was just like petting a cat. We were heading to the hospital, and that when it all hit me. We are heading to the hospital. Ikuto is seriously sick. A frown found it's was unto my face. I stared down at Ikuto. Then things just seemed to blur.
Nurses rushing to take care of Ikuto.
Them putting him on a gurney.
Them shouting stuff that were mumbled.
Racing Ikuto down the hallways.
A Nurse leading us to another room .
Chairs…
Sleep….
"When do you think she's going to wake up?"
"Don't know. I just hope it's soon though."
"Shut up." I mumbled. My head felt heavy as I tried to wipe the sleep from my eyes. "What are you all still doing here?" I asked as I started to sit up straight.
"I don't see how you never get a bed head." Utau pouted. I rolled my eyes at her. I looked around the waiting room. Typical and normal. How boring… I looked back at the group.
"You usually wake up when someone walks into the room." Kairi stated. I was rubbing my forehead now.
"No sleep in about a week." I grumbled. I'm pretty sure I saw all of them cringe.
"What Amu-chii needs is some stress eating!" Yaya declared. "Yaya will take her!"
"I'll make sure Yaya doesn't over do it." Kairi stated. I looked over to Rima.
"We'll stay here till you get back." Rima stated. "Ikuto is right about one thing though. You act like a girl friend." I rolled my eyes at that. Nagi was snickering now.
"I think you mean a worried wife." Nagi told. The rest of them agreed. I groaned before laying back down. I need some more sleep.
"No, no Amu-chii! You have to get a proper meal!" Yaya scolded as she pulled me out of the chairs. I fell flat on my face but I didn't move.
"Are you all here for Tsukiyomi Ikuto?"
My head flew up. A doctor was standing there with a clip board. His face was neutral… That wasn't good. I quickly stood up and stared the doctor in the eye.
"What's wrong with him?" My voice was strong. I couldn't let everyone know that I was breaking. The doctor gave me a weird look.
"Who are you to him?" He asked. I glared at him. He apparently got the hint and just couch the awkwardness away. "Well… Ikuto has—
"Just cut to the case." He glared at me now.
"He's in a coma. We have to make a special medicine for him but that'll be about a week. If he comes out of the coma is up to him. I do have to say though, this is the weirdest strand of flu I've ever seen." I started tuning him out. Of course Ikuto of all people would get the weirdest strand of flu in the history of mankind. Ikuto is the weirdest person in mankind. Even though I keep telling myself this, the weight in my chest just kept getting heavier. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked over at the person touching my shoulder. "He must be someone important to you if you took care of him to this point of exhaustion. Get some food and a good nights rest." The doctor said. I rolled my eyes at him.
"I won't leave the hospital till Ikuto leaves." I told. "Where's his room?" I asked. He looked a bit shocked.
"Trust me, it's next to impossible to get a good night rest here."
"Trust me, I've slept in worser places. Where's his room?" His eyes only widen a bit more.
"Room 415 C. It's down the—
"I'll find it." I said as I walked out on them. I watched the numbers on the door to make sure I was heading the right way. My mind was still numb though. I really did need some sleep.
"Amu-chii!"
Yaya was yelling in a hospital. Great… I just kept walking though. I've never handled being told what to do by doctors too well. I felt someone grabbed my wrist before being pulled back. I looked over my shoulder. Yaya was pulling my arm and I could see Kairi waiting a bit ways ahead. I looked back in the direction of Ikuto's room. The others were already heading in that direction. I felt really bad. Either way, I was harming someone. If I stayed, I'd be worrying my friends. This way, I was harming myself. I rather be the one that's hurt instead of them. I let Yaya drag me away from Ikuto's room. I'll make it up to him later.
We walked into a place called 'Little Shrimp.' I guess this was a sea food restaurant. Ikuto would love it here if they had fish. I looked at the other people eating here, there was no fish that I saw of. There was a lot of foods people would normally make at home but these were a lot larger. My eyes widen in shock of the size of their hotdogs.
"Is that a foot long hotdog?" I asked. Yaya started laughing as Kairi nodded his head. "You should've brought Utau and Kukai. They would love it here." I stated.
"They have their own place like to go to. It's a Ramen shop not to far from here." Kairi told me. I nodded my head a few times. I still didn't understand their love for Ramen. We walked up to the cashier. They had a twenty four seven breakfast!
"I think I found my new favorite place besides the ice cream parlor." I mumbled.
"Yaya is happy that Amu-chii likes it here!" Yaya stated.
"They have breakfast all day! Of course, I'm going to love it here!" I sassed. Yaya was laughing again but Kairi just rolled his eyes. "I want four pancakes with lots of strawberries and whip cream!" I ordered. The cashier laughed at me.
"Coming right up, We'll bring the food to you. Though I don't think you need the extra energy." She teased. I pouted before sulking my way to the table. I heard her laugh again. I guess as long as everyone else was happy, I can still stand strong. I wonder what Ikuto is dreaming about… Do you dream while in a coma? Hmmm….
"What are you thinking about?" Kairi asked. I just shrugged.
"Nothing too important." Kairi gave me the look that told me that he wasn't believing me.
"Yaya bets that Amu-chii was thinking about Ikuto!" I pouted.
"Am I that easy to read?" I asked. They looked at me in shock.
"You admitted it…" Kairi gasped.
"Hey, I'm not that petty." I whined. Yaya just scratched the back of her head in embarrassment. Kairi made his face expressionless. "Quick question..." They blinked their eyes at me a couple of times. "How did you two become such good friends?" I asked. No one in our group really knew their story. Both of their faces softened but they didn't look at each other. It was more like they were staring off into space as they remembered what happened.
"Yaya's older sister was also a victim of Hotori Mizuki… The one before Amu-chii… Dia was like a star. Dia could make anyone smile."
If you could be whatever you want, what would you be?
Athletic, Artist, A good care giver, and I want to make people smile.
"Yaya loved being Dia's younger sister. Dia paid attention to me whenever Mama and Papa was busy with Jack, Yaya's younger brother. When Yaya found out that Dia died… Yaya wasn't Yaya. Yaya hated everyone. Yaya wanted to be the younger sister again. Yaya didn't want to be responsible. Yaya ran away one day. Yaya…. Yaya…" Yaya was shaking now. I didn't know any of this. I didn't like how Yaya was looking. She looked as if she could break at any moment.
"Let's just say that Yaya's childish personality attract the wrong crowd. I was studying the way of the sword back then and protected her." Kairi summed up. It was all I really needed. I brought a hand up to my fore hand and gestured an explosion while making the sound.
"Here's your food~." The waitress gave us our food. "Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything~." She said before heading to the other customers. I got more respect for them now. I took a bite of my food.
"Okay, first off. I'm insulted you haven't told me about this place before. Their food is amazing~!" They chuckled at me. "Second; you know you can come to me if you two need anything, right?" I asked them.
"Yeah…" Kairi admitted.
"Amu-chii is like an older sister to Yaya. Amu-chii reminds Yaya of Dia. Yaya already goes to Amu-chii if Yaya needs anything." Yaya admitted. I ouldn't help but to smile.
"Good. And one last thing." I paused, allowing myself to smirk. "When are you two getting together?" Their faces immediately turned red. Ooo~! This is going to be as much fun as teasing Rima about Nagi~!
