Kim

I woke up with a massive headache and blinded by a white room that wasn't my own. Shifting myself to get a better look around, this white room was clearly a hospital, and this hospital was not the one I usually go to whenever Carl hurt me.
"…which hospital am I in?" Asking the empty room and looking at the IV sticking out of my hand, I was linked with several machines and surrounded by countless flowers. "The last thing I recall was—" getting a vague image of Kasumi outside my house and calling out for me my head throbbed in pain as to what happened after that. "Ow…"

"I suggest you lying back down and getting a bit more rest," hearing a familiar voice and seeing Kyoya, I had the look of confusion written all over my face. "It's good to see you awake at last Kim," he says.

"Where exactly am I," I asked him.

"You are in my family's hospital. I was called by Kasumi to come and retrieve you while arresting your father."

"Wait," back-tracking, "Kasumi called you to come get me? And my father is arrested," I asked to be sure I heard right and he handed me pictures. "What is this," looking at them, it was my father wearing the orange jumper and getting his picture taken. A few more after that and I saw Kasumi being in one of the pictures looking ragged and drained of life! "Where's Kasumi," I asked him quickly.

"…she's attending school for both you and herself. The principal has allowed her to contribute for the both of you to keep your scholarship."

"But…"having no idea the strain I caused her, he placed a gentle hand on my knee and had me look at him.

"I know it's none of my business, but has this been going on for a period of time?" He asked me.

"…." Managing to nod and giving a curt yes, he sighed.

"I see…" he breathed. "I took Kasumi home that night and found it rather disturbing that she lives in that home all alone." His cool eyes on me as he spoke, he was truly concerned over this matter; I sensed another reason behind it that perked my interest. Which reminded me of my ears and I quickly slapped my head to hide them when I found a beanie on my head? "Kasumi was with you before she went home. She placed this beanie cap on you and asked that we not remove it no matter what the case. We respected her wishes and allowed the gesture." He eyed me to know the reason, but I felt uncomfortable revealing such a large part of my life out in the open. As if understanding my silent plea and dropping the subject he handed me a letter.

"What's this," I asked.

"Kasumi asked I give this to you when I came," he says.
I looked at the writing and found it to be written carefully with some thought put into it. Usually when it's this pretty and well made out I know she's either depressed about something or she's given this matter a lot of thought.
Turning over the paper and breaking the seal, I began reading the letter.

Dear Kim,

I'm sorry for not being strong enough to get you out of that hell! I'm ashamed at myself for allowing someone else to help you and have it not be me and my own power like I promised you. I actually called and relied on Kyoya of all people!
Please don't worry about school and the scholarships. I've worked something out with the principle and have given him something he'd believe. Sorry if I'm not there to talk to you personally, though I really wish to, but I hope you understand better than anyone just how much I hurt right now.
There's a few things you need to know about the events that's taken place. One of which we have gained a new manager and I am set to dispose of her under Kyoya's orders. This will take my mind off of things for a while. Another thing is I might allow the members to know you are in the hospital. I won't say for what reasons, but they've been asking for you recently and all I could say was you had a fall-out with your dad and it got a little ugly. They think it was all an accident and don't know the details. Though I can hardly say much after that incident with the nurse. If they figure it out on their own then just accept it and give into their wanting to help you out. I'll come when I can, at the moment I'm swamped with both our projects and homework we are supposed to do.

Get better soon and come back to school with a smile on your face.
Love
Kasumi M.

Reading this letter made me tear up a little as I held it close to my heart and accepted it. Kyoya left the bedside and turned to the doorway where I could see two heads of orange hair poking around the corner.

"Heya," the twins chimed.

"H-heya…" this feels strangely nice having visitors. It's only been Kasumi and me for so long that I don't know this feeling that's coming up inside me.

"Well you look a little terrible, but nothing too dramatic." Kaoru says. He pulled out a small bouquet of roses for me and the both of them shyly handed it to me. "Get better soon so we can hang out back at the club."

"Will do," what a really strange feeling of happiness this is for me.
Looking at the twins before seeing Kyoya standing beside Takumi, he was followed by Takeshi and Honey.
"Honey-sempai, Mori-sempai," I smiled. "Even Tamaki graces me with his presence," I chuckled.

"But of course, my lady." As if glowing with roses in bloom all around him, this atmosphere they created was really nice. Getting a bit more feeling back and sitting upright, I talked with them all for hours on end and was filled in about this new otaku manager they had. Kyoya also informed me of what type of character she tried implementing onto Kasumi and I flinched. In everyone's eyes it would seem a rather random suggestion to give someone, but the truth of the matter is, it's true. Looking at Kyoya and seeing he knew and was keeping quiet about it bothered me. But what on earth happened to everyone with the days I was gone? I noticed Kaoru glances my way several times before turning back to Hikaru and felt flustered over it. Then there's Tamaki griping over Haruhi not being able to come today. But Kyoya…what in the world has gotten over him with the way he speaks of Kasumi and how he's acting! I'm sensing a very deep emotion within him and I really want to drag it out and see what turns out. I really, really want to.

"Kimmy-chan," Honey came by and handed me a piece of cake. "Get well soon, kay," he smiled.

"Thanks Honey-sempai," accepting the gift and still keeping an eye at Kyoya, he looked to his phone several times now and it got me curious to who he's waiting for to call him. "Something the matter Kyoya," I asked.

Surprised I was paying attention, he put his phone away and smiled. "Nothing at all," he says.
I stared at him for a while and just couldn't believe that load of bullshit and crossed my arms. It didn't faze him to tell me anything, but I decided that when I get back in school I'm going to plot something devious.
