A/N: Hello, I hope you like this chapter and I have no idea how a hospital works or anything that has to do with a hospital because I only went to one once or twice in my life and I don't remember any of it. Because of this sorry that anything that is mentioned in this chapter and the others are false/don't work that way.

Chapter Eight: The Brawlers get a Surprise

Drago's POV

Because I wasn't going to tell Daniel's parents I went to the New Vestroia's principal's office with Alann's help because he was allowed off school grounds. The other students are to but he was closest and the only one to respond quickly when I asked for help.

We went to the principal's office and I asked him to knock so he did and I was thankful but I feel bad for him. The door opened and the principal seemed surprised that a middle schooler was here before he saw me.

"Where's Daniel Drago?" he asked me in a concerned tone and I shook my head when I looked at Alann's face "you're one of Daniel's students right?" the principal asked and Alann nodded. "Thank you for bringing Drago here" he told him before carefully holding out his hand out for me to jump into and I did.

I turned around to look at Alann to see he was worried about Daniel still "don't worry Alann, Daniel's going to be fine" I said and he nodded before leaving. The principal took me into his office and set me down on his desk so I could tell him what happened and that's exactly what I did when he set me down.

"Daniel collapsed during two of his students Brawls and Alann was the only to respond quickly" I said and he nodded with a concerned expression. "Could you let the Brawlers who are in the school to let them leave and see him? I need to tell them something that's been happening to him since Mechatanium Surge" I asked and he looked confused but nodded anyway.

"When should I announce it?" he asked me most likely because it wasn't an appointment or anything like that. "Thirty minutes, before the bell rings because if it's later Shun will be even more suspicious" I told him and he nodded saying he will.

"Could you call their Bakugan to the hallway outside your office?" I asked and he nodded making the call, a few minutes later the Bakugan arrived so I can tell them. "Drago? Why did the principal ask for us to meet you here? Our Brawlers are worried because of that" Tigrerra asked in a curious and concerned tone.

"I need you to get the Brawlers to the hospital any way you can" I said resulting in confused Bakugan "why do we need to do that?" Hydronoid asked in an irritated tone. "Where's Daniel? is what I'm wondering, isn't he normally with you?" Ingrown asked looking around, most likely for Daniel.

"He's the reason I asked you guys to get them to go to the hospital, I had already asked the principal to let them leave without consequence" I said before adding please surprising them by saying it. "Of course" they all said before the principal had the vice principal take me to the hospital, when we arrived he stayed with me even after I told the secretary at the front desk to direct the Brawlers to Daniel's room when they arrived.

Tigrerra's POV

We were taken to the classrooms our Brawlers were in once Drago and I was dropped off first not really liking that she was talking to her new 'friends' who were talking rudely about Daniel. "Runo, your dad wants you to go to the hospital" I said in a concerned and worried voice hoping to get her attention.

"And why's that Tigrerra?" she asked never looking at me because she was too busy listening to her friends to bother. "You have a doctor's appointment remember?" I asked knowing she won't because she never pays attention to those.

"Oh yeah, when am I supposed to walk over there?" she asked making me sigh since it seems she really doesn't pay attention like I hoped was just my imagination. "The principal will call you and two others there so you can walk together since they have to go there as well" I said and she nodded still not looking at me.

Hydronoid's POV
I was dropped off after Tigrerra and this just seemed like a pain, lying to our Brawlers is something I'm not going to do. "Alice" I said when I was set down on her desk getting her attention "you're going to be called to the hospital with Runo and Shun" I said and she looked shocked.

"Why is that? What happened?" she asked me making me sigh "Daniel's in the hospital but you're not supposed to know" I told her and she nodded. "Thank you Hydronoid but why can't I tell the others?" she asked and I told her because Drago told us not to since Runo doesn't seem to like Daniel anymore which she can understand. (1)

Skyress's POV
Ingrown and I were dropped off last, I really don't want to lie to Shun but I don't want to worry him even more by saying the one he was going to confess to today was in the hospital instead. "Shun" I said getting his attention quite easily "you grandfather was admitted to the hospital" I said.

"What!?" he exclaimed but it wasn't loud enough for anyone else to hear so he won't draw any attention which I was glad for and so was Ingrown. "Your grandfather is in the hospital" Ingrown said and he nodded asking how we knew.

"The doctor called the principal and he told us to tell you that he'll call you and two others to the hospital so you can see him and he doesn't have to call three different times for three people to go to one place" I said and he nodded.

Shun's POV

I went back to work and a few minutes after they told me an announcement came on "Shun, Run, and Alice please head to the hospital, I repeat Shun, Runo, and Alice please head to the hospital" the announcement said. I looked around to see everyone was looking at me with concerned expressions making me slightly uncomfortable before I grabbed my bag and told them goodbye for now.

I met up Alice and Runo to see they were fighting over something which is getting really annoying. "What are you fighting about now?" I asked surprising them enough to jump in surprise.

"Tigrerra said something about Runo's 'new friends' being mean to Dan and she never disproved any of it" Alice said with a huff making me look at Runo who shrugged also huffing. They were acting like children and that may sometimes be a good thing but not right now.

"Come on guys I have to see how my grandfather is doing" I said making them simultaneously look at me. "What happened?" Alice asked me in concern when we left the building "no idea" I said and they nodded as we passed the garden.

'I'm sorry Dan' I thought remembering when I first fell in love with him.

Flashback

"Hey Shun! Mom made some Chocolate Crinkles for you and your family" Dan said when I was sitting by my mom's hospital bed "I thought I told you not to come here anymore Dan" I said not looking at him. "No matter how many times you say that Shun I'm not leaving you" he said and I felt a hand on my right shoulder.

"Just go away" I told him before I saw him put the circular cookie box on the side table but I also saw a green note with red lines on the box. I was curious so I walked over and opened it to read:

To Shun,

I know you don't want to see me but that doesn't matter because I always see you, you're my best friend and I don't like seeing you hurting this much. If you really don't want to see then don't stop me when I walk out the door.

From, Dan

What I read made me not want him to go but I couldn't turn around either, what feelings do I have for Dan when I pushed my own grandfather away. I heard the click of the door shutting and knew Dan had left before I could actually turn around to see he was gone.

End of Flashback

I had realized when I turned around that I had fallen for my best friend, regardless of how old we were when I did. "Shun come on, you want to see your grandfather right?" Runo asked me when she poked my cheek startling me.

I realized I was still standing in the same place and was still looking at the garden when I was broken from the memory. "Yeah sorry" I said continuing with our trek to the hospital to see that our vice principal's silver GMC Yukon was in the parking lot which was a surprise to say the least.

We walked inside and located the front desk walking to it with the intention to ask where my grandfather's room was at. "The room is 161 section D" the secretary said without hesitation when she saw us surprising the three of us.

"We didn't even ask where we want to go" I said making her sigh "you're Shun Kazami, Alice Gehabich, and Runo Misaki right?" she asked in a bored tone shocking me. "Yes but how…" I tried to say before she cut me off "then go to D161" she said and I looked at Runo and Alice.

Runo shrugged and Alice nodded so I sighed and did as the woman said confused but also curious at the same time. We passed so many sick patients and some were only in comas before reaching a sign that said:

Section D For:

Abuse Anorexia

Insomnia Disorders

Blood loss Anemia

I didn't like this sign because I know this isn't for Runo or myself of for Alice so I was really worried, we were called here for a different reason than I thought we were. We passed many rooms and many of the patients were either shaking with bruises or not moving.

We reached room 161 and what I read under the number doesn't help my unease. It says 'in comatose' which isn't good and I'm wondering who's here if it isn't my grandfather.

I hesitantly opened the door not seeing the patient just the edge of the bed. I walked further in and I never once thought I would see what I did.

Alice's POV

I was steeling myself for the condition I would see Dan in when we arrived and what the section contained never helped me not telling Shun why we're here. Anorexia, blood loss, and I think abuse are the things I'm guessing he's here for and when I saw all the things that the kids are going through I changed my dream job from scientific assistant to nurse or doctor.

Seeing everything that happens to people and how many that die from it makes me want to help them in some way the best that I can, to become a doctor. We reached the room the secretary told us to go into however Shun seemed hesitant to do so, I would be to if I had been the first out of the group to see what he did.

All the steeling I did never prepared me for what I saw when we entered the room though.
