No Reason
Beep.
Beep.
Beep.
Within the white room, a small body lays still attach to wires and cords.
Beep.
The milky white skin free of blood except for dark plum splotches paint over it. On her arm and around her head, sterile bandages cover her weak fragile body.
Beep.
Off to the side of the bed are monitors if the slightest thing goes wrong it would signal for help of the nurses. Wires from every which way come and fasten itself onto the frail body.
Beep.
There she lays asleep, peaceful, calm, and in a slumber which none dare to wake. Her arms at her side, the face of life gone replace with nothing and so here lays Tohru.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Yuki awoke from the loud ring of the living room phone. Slowly he got up but found it stop shortly, Tohru or Kyo must have gotten it. That was the first thing that crossed his mind. However, the next few moments he will never forget, never will he forget.
A thunderous crash from the sound of the phone hitting the handle, Kyo’s voice shaky holding fear, regret and sadness shouts towards Yuki’s room.
“Yuki! get dressed NOW!” He slips into his coat coming into the Rat’s room, “hurry that was Shigure, Tohru has been into a car crash!” The cat balances himself against Yuki’s door frame, barely able to say those words himself..
Purple eyes began to open with fear before he was out of bed and dressed ready to go. “I’ll drive.” his voice steady.
Kyo hiss softly but did not object.
Shigure lit up a cigarette, and slowly took a couple of puffs. Hatori would be here soon, yes...that’s right same with Kyo and yuki. He was the one who got the call first, he thought his heart had stop when the nurse calmly told him. She was alright....or what they called alright, however she hasn’t awaken. They say the chances are high she will, that’s what they say. Shigure exhales and looks down at the little stick, “If I don’t stop soon these will kill me” he smirks then drops it down and with his heel stomps it out before going back inside.
As Shigure entered Tohru’s room again he was relived to see the family doctor, Hatori. In A soft voice he asks, “is she going to be alright Hatori?”
The doctor slowly turns around with dismal eyes, “she should be fine, and we just have to wait until she wakes up.”
”Aa...”
(Change of POV)
I can hear them, why is it so dark here.... I feel so numb, what happened. My feet began to walk into the darkness, however I could not control them. My body acts of its own free will. Why what’s going on.
As the move in a motion much like the engine of a car, up down up down a solid rhythm, not missing a beat or a step. I found myself in a blinding light.
My eyes tightly shut blocking the painful light, I wait. Once again slowly open them, the eyes dart across the room. This was my old high school room. The desk in their place, the blinds open, and the spotless floor however, this time I was alone.
In control now, I step forward. My hands gently touch the desk tops as I past. I felt myself frown, alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Onigiri.
But, I was no longer the onigiri was I? I have friends, family now I am not alone. suddenly my cheeks felt moist. Then my knees cave in, and I felt the cold icy floor.
(POV change)
I couldn’t help it, I saw her there, so weak so lifeless the my eyes began to swell. It wasn’t like me to cry, I was the bad boy, the hot temper one. I am not supposed to cry. The smug rat just stands next to me, not questioning the wetness around my eyes. The tears slip, rolling falling, flowing down my cheeks.
The milky skin, the soft plush lips, the oak wood color hair, beautiful, however lifeless, she appears to be dead. Dead. no. Not Tohru. She can’t leave me, not everyone. She came into our lives, never really wanting anything but a home. In return she gave us so much more, so much more.
Within my stomach, a twisting and turning began to take place, then I realize, I am going to throw up. Instantly I felt my legs being to rush towards the door and out the hallway. I just can’t take it. I just can’t.
(POV Change)
I dare not mock Kyo for his show of emotions, its understandable to cry for someone you love. Shigure and Hatori stand out side of the room now, leaving us alone. A shake hand grasps hers gently. I stare down at her, wishing she will open her eyes to look into mine. I once told her I loved her, she smiled and did not understand me. Later she did, but Kyo’s love was also important to her. Cat and Mouse, funny...how we always fight like this. She said she could not pick between us. She just couldn’t. So her heart belongs to both of us. We, Kyo and I never question her again about it. She is the one who broke the cruse; we can not make her choose.
We just can’t.
I just...can’t.
