"Doctor Lee, please report to the ICU for needed assistance, Doctor Lee."

After the call, Chaz, Chiharu and Kyo rushed to the hospital, Chaz asked the nurse by the counter for her father, and he rushed the find the room, Chiharu decided to stay. She wasn't sure what was going to happen after this, she felt the need to blame someone, and she felt like blaming herself. If she was there, living back with him, regardless of the bimbo he brought home last time, would he still be at home, reading the newspaper, instead of here in this cold hospital. She shivered at the thought of losing her father, she worried about that after her mother died, she just didn't think it was too soon.

She lost her brain of thought when Chiharu placed his jacket over her shoulders, and squeezed her hand gently and looked at her.

"Everything is going to be alright, I'm here for you." He said, his eyes softening, that she had to look down and try to prevent the blush that was forming cheeks. Somehow those words gave her comfort of what was to come, knowing that she had someone by her side made her feel at home.

"Thank you, Chiharu." She said, hugging his jacket closer to her, and breathing in his scent, it smelled great..it reminded her of the time, she fell on him when they first, she chuckled. Chiharu gave her a questioning look as she shook her head, because he would never get it that was her secret.

"What are you laughing about?" Chiharu asked, with his face with confusion and amusement.

"Um, just how we met and all." She said, slowly breathing from laughing a little bit too hard. She looked at Chiharu and he was in deep thought. Then his face broke into that little smirk that she loved seeing, and he laughed, too.

She felt comforted and a little bit sleepy, she scanned around, looking for a comfortable couch to sleep on, and Chiharu stopped laughing and noticed her look.

"Something wrong?" Chiharu asked, looking around at whatever she was looking at.

"I'm just feeling exhausted, I don't think there are any couches here to sleep on.." She said, yawning, she felt sleep pulling on her eyelids, drooping. Before she knew what was happening, he grabbed her head and placed it gently on his shoulder. She blushed and pretended not to like the idea of sleeping on his shoulder, when she just slept on his shoulder back at home.

"Uh..Chiharu, it's okay..I can just lean my head over here." She said, attempting to lean her head over the chair. Chiharu placed both of his hands on both sides of her head, and placed her head back on his shoulder.

"Chiharu..uh." She said, starting to protest, but when she saw the look on his face, she stayed quiet. He was tired too, his eyes were beginning to droop too, she could also see that his head needed to rest on something. Without a word, she touched his face, and his eyes suddenly opened. But she didn't take her hand away, she pulled him closer so that his head was touching and resting on hers.



"Kyo, I can stay awake ya know, just go sleep, I'll be fine." He said, attempting to lift his head, but her hand pulled him back down.

"I know, but I just need to umm….well..i can't..I'm afraid of..l" She blushed because she didn't to admit the truth, but she was always comforted with his presence around, especially when he was this close to her. She never felt this way about anyone before and for some reason, she can't let go of Chiharu, she wondered if he felt the same way.

"I'm not going to leave you alone, Kyo." He said, placing his arms around her, and resting his head on hers, "I guess I'm tired too, maybe taking a small nap isn't a bad idea." She smiled and leaned her head on his shoulder and she felt him wrap his jacket more tightly around her, as he placed his hand around her waist and pulled her into his warm embrace.

"Chiharu?" She asked, yawning one more time, before she fell asleep. He leaned towards her and mumbled, "Hm?"

"Good night." With that, she dozed off, leaning, against his shoulder, and dreamed.

Chiharu opened his eyes and looked at her sleeping next him, he felt calm, somewhat happy. He was falling for her, and he could tell that she was too. He wasn't used to letting people in his life, especially after his own father's death, he didn't want to be near anyone else. But when he saw Kyo and noticed how hard she tried being there for her brother, and holding her feelings real tight about her mother dying, leaving her father behind, he wasn't the only one who suffered. Somehow she opened up something in his heart, whenever she was around, he felt the need to hug her, hold her, tease her, just about anything to make her smile. When he saw her tears for the first time, he felt the need to kiss her tears away, when he saw Kensuke hug her, and make her smile like that, he felt the urge to tear him from limb to limb. Kyo made him feel right in all the right ways.

"Kyo…." He said, softly, touching her cheek, and the warmth that he felt when she cuddled closer to him.

"You're mine." Chiharu said, whispering it in her ears, instead of responding, Kyo gave a small sigh as Chiharu entwined his fingers with hers and closed his eyes. Somehow the hospital that night disappeared from his mind, and he dreamed.

--In the hospital, while Kyo and Chiharu were snoozing, Chaz was wandering the hospital corridors--

MAN. This place is creepier than I thought, it's so damn quiet in here! He said, looking at all the closed doors, with room numbers. Great, his father had a heart attack, and he was running around, trying find room 205, where his father was. Well, actually he found it, he just hesitated to come into the room. He said so much trash to his father, he just didn't have the courage to open the door. He might as well face the music and go on with it.



Chaz turned the knob slowly, and went into the lighted room. That's when he saw his father there, lying on the hospital bed, with and long strand of an I.V. attached to his arm, he looked peacefully enough to look like he was sleeping. He walked closer, as his breathing was beginning to slow down. He got closer and he saw his father, with his mouth slightly open, like he usually looked when he was snoring. He remembered it too, how he'd come back from basketball practice and his father would be watching news, then he would start to snooze, then he'd fall asleep, and Chaz would grab a blanket and lay it over him. Chaz sighed and pulled at chair over, sitting near his father, watching him sleep.

"ACHOO!" Chaz fell off the chair, and looked up, looking startled over what happened. Did he just sneeze, or was it his father?

"Chaz?" His father asked, his eyes wide with surprise, and softening at the look of Chaz. Chaz smiled awardly and put his hand through his hair.

"Hey..Dad, ..uh..bless you?" Chaz said, looking nervous, but with a happy look of relief that his dad was awake.

His dad just smiled and tried to sit up, but frowned over the the ivs stuck on him, Chaz quickly helped his father up, and his dad reached up and out his arms around son.

"I'm sorry, sport."

Chaz didn't know what to say, but he just let his dad hold him, and at the thought of losing him, he hugged him back.

"Me too, Dad." Chaz said, letting go slowly and laying his dad back on the bed. Chaz had a series of questions to ask him, but he decided to ask his dad later right after he gets out of the hospital. He watched a movie once where cops were interviewing the witness from a murder scene, and was also recovering from a heart attack, he got a heart attack again due to the interrogation of the cops.

"Son?" His father asked, interrupting his thoughts.

"Yeah?" Chaz asked, wondering what was up.

"Where's your sister?" He asked, and Chaz forgot! Kyo was crying her eyes out, crap, and he forgot all about her, and Chiharu probably abandoned her for some nurse, and she's probably running around the halls, slamming doors, asking where her father is.

"Er..Dad, I'll be right back." Chaz said, smiling and running out the door.

His father had a confused look on his face and then he smiled, and thought back to the memories with his family. Sigh. He had a second chance to mend the wounds that he left on his children, and he was going to start slowly with the truth and surely, they'll be a family again. He closed his eyes and dreamed.

Meanwhile, as Chaz was forced to walk after being scolded by the nurse about running in the hallways, Kyo and Chiharu were still in the waiting room.



Kyo opened her eyes, she wondered if she was dreaming. Chiharu was sleeping right next to her, with his arms around her, and somehow even in his dreams, he has to hold her. Kyo made a small yawn and wondered if her father was sleeping, and where the heck was Chaz? Did he sleep by the emergency room the whole night, or was he pissed about getting his candy bar stuck in one of the vending machines? She laughed to herself, carefully, so that she wouldn't wake up Chiharu. She had the strangest dream yet, she dreamed that Chiharu kissed her. She blushed, there was NO WAY, I mean, she was practically awake the whole time and he was falling asleep like her, what if she was sleeping and he…….WHOA!

She jumped at that thought, and that small movement woke Chiharu up.

"Kyo..nn..what's wrong?" He said yawning loudly, as he pulled his arm from her waist to rub the sleepiness from his eyes.

"Uh..nothing..uh Chiharu?" She said, pointing at his arm around her, and Chiharu gave her a confused look, then he smirked.

"Miss my touch?" He said, holding her close and smelling her neck. Kyo blushed and jumped, then struggled to get out his arms.

"GAH! Let go, Chiharu, you, tall-freak of nature!" Kyo said, smiling and laughing, as she tried to pull his arms away from her waist, but he juts pulled her closer to him, that she ended up in his lap.

"What did you just call me?" He said, now tickling her sides, Kyo started laughing her head off and relaxed.

"UNCLE. WHITE FLAG!" She said, after collapsing in his arms and sat up, as she turned towards him to tell him another joke. Oh boy, but that was a mistake, because her face and his face was inches from hers, and his grey eyes were no longer kidding, but instead became serious as he leaned in. OH MAN. HE's going to….should i..lean…

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" Chaz came out of nowhere, yelled and pulled me and Chiharu up and glared at us.

"CHIHARU ENIWA!" Chaz was coming closer, and closer…….

TO BE CONTINUED. WILL CHAZ KICK CHIHARU'S ASS, or KYO's? STAY TUNE. LOLZ. THANKS EVERYONE!
