Khelc-sul Renai… Ahaha~ Hopefully my English for this chapter won't be that bad. It's been a long time since I type anything. The things I've type this half a year plus are my reports and assignments. So… There might be plenty of grammatical errors. Thank you for your review~

BellaLuz64… Hehe~ You'll see more in this chapter~ The torturing that is~

AtobeLover… I'll definitely finish off my ficcies~ Don't worry~ I hate leaving people hanging. However, it takes time. ^_^

To whomever that reviewed, thanks a lot. Here's another chapter for you all.

Chapter 12

Haruto came out of the doctor's office and walked towards his Master Ryoma's room. A few doors away, he saw his other 4 masters standing outside. He was so excited of the news he got from the doctor that he didn't realise about the shocked facial expression on his 4 masters' face.

"Masters!" called out Haruto as he walked quickly towards them.

Inside the room, Yukimura and Ryoma was startled as they didn't realise that the OT4 were outside the room. Ryoma quickly tensed up as he really doesn't want to see them right now. Yukimura, sensing his discomfort, squeezed Ryoma's hand lightly making Ryoma to relax considerably.

Few moments later, the OT4 walk into the room with a smile on their face. Yukimura and Ryoma realised their tensed smile and knew that they had heard the confession. Meanwhile, Haruto remain oblivious to the strained atmosphere because he was still feeling light hearted at the news he had received.

There was moment of silence before a knock was heard. The door to the room opened and walked in the doctor accompanied by his private nurse. All the occupants in the room smiled at the doctor before the OT4, Haruto and Yukimura were asked by the nurse to leave the doctor and Ryoma alone in the room as it was time for the daily check up.

After the door to Ryoma's ward closed, the OT4 surrounded Yukimura. Yukimura tensed up immediately the moment he saw the four of them inching towards him. Inwardly, he knew where this is going. As for Haruto, he had excused himself from his masters and Yukimura the moment he walked out of the room stating that he has something to do.

"What is the meaning of this, Seiichi?" asked Sanada sharply. He didn't expect that Yukimura will be the person who will take advantage of the condition considering that they were good friend.

"I-," said Yukimura, however he was cut off by Fuji's accusation.

"Is this why you insisted to chase us out of Ryoma's life?"

"I wasn't tryi-," uttered Yukimura but once again he was cut off. This time it was because of Atobe.

"Ore-sama is going to make you pay for this Yukimura", said Atobe with pure hatred.

"You have no ri-," Yukimura retaliated but was cut off again. This time it was because of the opening of the ward's door.

"All of you may come in right now. The doctor has finished examining Ryoma-san".

The OT4 were the first one to enter the room followed slowly by Yukimura. In the room, Ryoma was trying to dress himself up. Tezuka immediately went to his side to help him but Ryoma pushed his helping hands away. Tezuka was stunned by Ryoma's action.

All the while, Ryoma was glaring at the four of them because he realised that Yukimura seemed rather tensed. He deduced that the OT4 said something to Yukimura while they were outside of the room. After Ryoma managed to dress himself up with the help of the nurse, the doctor said, "I have some good news for all of you."

Everyone look at the doctor waiting for him to continue. "From the result I've gotten, Ryoma-san is recovering quite fast. From the look of it, he can be discharged by tomorrow noon, after the check up."

Everyone smiled at the news. "The other good news is, Ryoma-san has regained all of his memories," stated the doctor with a smile on his face. "Now then, I shall excuse myself. I'll see you tomorrow Ryoma-san".

Ryoma nodded as the doctor and his nurse walked out of the room. The room fell into a tensed silence. None of them knew what to say regarding the news. The OT4 was shocked at the news as they didn't expect that Ryoma will regain his memories so early.

"Ryo-," Fuji said but he stopped halfway because he saw the glare Ryoma was giving the OT4. Fuji's heart broke into pieces when he saw how much hate the glare contains. Meanwhile, Yukimura moved to Ryoma's side and placed his hand on Ryoma's shoulder.

Ryoma was startled. He looked up at Yukimura slowly. He didn't realise at all that Yukimura has walked to his side. Yukimura smiled at Ryoma while squeezing his shoulder lightly. At the small gesture, Ryoma dropped the glare and smile softly at Yukimura.

At the smile, the OT4 felt their heart clenched. 'What have we done…?' thought the OT4 as they saw the smile that was no longer directed to them. Now, only glares and hatred reside in Ryoma's eyes whenever he sees them.

"Ryoma…We wants to explain ourselves," Tezuka started as he braved himself.

"We didn't mean to chase you out of the house. We were just…," continued Sanada but trailed off as he can't bring himself to say it out.

"Ryoma…We-," said Fuji but he stopped because he can't stand the glare that Ryoma was giving to each of them. There was not even a speckle of love in those glares that were directed to them anymore. Fuji broke down there and then. He can't help himself because the glare that Ryoma always directed to them was always full of love. However, right now…there was not even a speckle of love reside in them. Hatred. That was all Fuji can see from it.

"W-," Atobe said, trying to say out what Fuji was trying to explain but he was immediately cut off by Ryoma.

"Stop," said Ryoma, angrily with tint of sadness in it. He knew what they were trying to say. After all, they were together for 10 years. 'Almost,' thought Ryoma as he reminded himself.

"Ryo-."

"Stop calling me."

"Please Ryoma…."

"I said stop calling me!" screamed Ryoma. The OT4 was totally taken aback by the scream.

"Ryoma… Please. Let us explain ourselves," said Tezuka.

"Is that all you guys can do? Is that all that's in your mind? Explain? What is there to explain?" Ryoma said the last sentence sarcastically.

"R-Ryo-," Fuji called out softly as his lips trembled.

"I said stop calling me? Stop with it? Is that all you guys can do? Calling me out? Explaining yourselves?" Ryoma shouted.

"We wan-."

"Stop with it!" Ryoma shouted.

"I…We-."

"'I Will Always Trust You'," Ryoma uttered those words sarcastically.

"…"

"Got nothing to say?" said Ryoma bitterly.

"Ryoma…" said Yukimura as he tried to comfort Ryoma. He can feel Ryoma's shaking. He knew how much Ryoma hold onto those 5 words.

"Those were the words the four of you gave to me when we got together. I wonder if I am the only one holding to that empty promise for 10 years long. Oh wait…It's almost 10 years. I am really stupid. Trusting those 5 words. Those 5 empty words…," said Ryoma as he laughed bitterly at the end.

Silence reined the room. The OT4 took those words quietly but it was not long before Ryoma uttered, "Get out".

"Ryo…"

"Get out", repeated Ryoma.

"Ryoma…"

"I said 'Go OUT!'"

"We won't", said Atobe.

"Get out of here?" screamed Ryoma. Seeing how emotional Ryoma is, Yukimura hugged Ryoma.

Yukimura whispered to Ryoma softly comforting words to calm the man down. Not long after, Yukimura could feel wetness on his shirt and realised that Ryoma is crying silently. He was shocked as it is very rare that Ryoma will cry.

"Please…Get out…" Ryoma uttered softly. At long last, they decided to leave Ryoma alone with Yukimura as they knew that, the longer they stay there, the sadder Ryoma will feel.

To be continued…
