That's how long Izumi was resting for, 2 entire weeks. In that time Kisaki found out that Emma was indeed alive and well. Those two that were involved quietly disappeared and no one bothered to look for them.

Everyone just assumed the two boys ran away and that was that. As for the battle, Tenjiku was deemed the winner. Morale in Toman sank and Draken did all he could to raise the guys' spirits. Shinichiro was brought in for that.

Mitsuya and Smiley recovered completely and made sure their vice captains didn't do anything reckless while healing their injuries as well.

Shuji and Inupi tried to visit Izuku every other day and check on his progress. Inupi learned that Izumi liked skeleton flowers (look them up, pretty cool and pretty in general.) lotuses, and hydrangeas. 

He learned a thing or two from Koko and bribed some of the staff into letting him bring in the bouquet of flowers for him. It also helps that Inupi is veeerrry attractive and wooed them without meaning too.

Kakucho bought a nice glass for them and whoever was there would water them a little. Shuji was the one who got see Izumi when he woke up. He heard a soft whisper when he was facing the window and tending to the plants.

"Shu-ji?"

It was raspy and so faint he nearly missed it. But with Izumi he was more attentive and sensitive to his surroundings. When he turned around he saw Izumi turned towards him. His golden amber eyes confused and worried. Shuji missed the sadness in them.

"You're awake! That's awesome I'll get a doctor."

He smiled nervously and fled down the hall to find one of the doctors that tended to him. A nurse recognized him and called Hanma over.

"You're looking for Izumi K. doctor's right?"

"Yeah, sorry to bother. He actually woke up so I'm guessin that's important?"

"Absolutely! Would you mind coming back later since he'll need to speak with him privately?"

"No problem! Thanks a bunch."

Hanma exited the building and rode to a ramen shop or something. 

The nurse made his rounds and located the aforementioned person to let him know the patient was awake now. He had set up a meeting with his family to discuss Izumi and his hospital visits that occurred relatively close to each other.

Izana insisted that Hitto come along since he was practically family and grew up with them. Shinichiro was listed as their legal guardian and called in as well.

Izumi flexed his fingers and joints making sure they moved and nothing was wrong. A headache was here but other than that, this room confirmed it.

"So I failed."

He sat up and stretched as much as the wires and machines would allow him. Hospital stays were unpleasant and as such he made a plan to escape. Izumi started with the little pads and strips taped to his arms.

He left the heart monitor going since it would send an alarm if any irregularities occurred. The needles would a bit of an issue. He slowly took the tape off and preparing himself, grabbed the needle and pulled it out.

"Hah! That hurts."

There was the IV needle and he grit his teeth and swiftly removed that one. He got out of the bed and grabbed some slippers provided by the hospital. The machines beeped loudly to attract attention.

Izumi looked out the window and estimated he was on the third floor. There was some trees and vegetation if he leaped far enough past the concrete pavings. He slid the window aside and put one foot up.

He pushed with his other foot and used the momentum to leap as far as possible into the tree and soften the blow. His arms protected his face as the branches scratched and hit him. People probably witnessed a person in a hospital gown leap out a window and screamed.

It was a quick fall. He found picked up his slippers that fell off and ran in a random direction. 

Shinichiro, Izana, and Kakucho all sat together as an older man entered. He wore a white coat over some scrubs with a lanyard and ID card inside. He carried a semi thick folder and logged into the computer before looking over the trio.

"Which one of you is Sano Shinichiro?"

"That'd be me sir."

"I'm Izana Kurokawa."

"Hitto Kakucho sir."

"I requested this meeting today because I am concerned about Izumi's hospital visits and the nature of each one. He was treated for severe injuries and tearing in his throat and esophagus. Next he had a very blood head trauma but was discharged quickly for that. Now Izumi is currently being treated for ingesting a large amount of pills."

He let his words sink in and gauged the boys' reactions. Mostly concern and worry as one would expect from loved ones. 

"I did hear about Izumi's situation before he was brought here and I do have concerns. It appeared to be a suicide attempt from him. Has he ever expressed any suicidal thoughts or actions, Shinichiro?"

"I, well, no. I um, don't spend a lot of time with him so I can't say."

The doctor raised an eyebrow at that. He typed in the computer for a few minutes then turned back. The scarred boy had put his arm around the albino's shoulder to comfort him. The black haired one, Shinichiro just looked defeated.

"Izumi regained consciousness today. Would you like to visit him?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Yes!"

"I would appreciate it."

They followed him out the door and two corridors where his room was. Loud beeping shrilled through the door. Izana pushed through and opened the door imaging the poor boy in pain or needing medical intervention.

Well neither happened because he wasn't even in the damn bed! The wires hung uselessly from the shrilling machines and the window was slid open. Izana suspected that he had somehow left his room through that window.

"What the? Izumi? Why isn't he here?!"

"I'm about to find out."

He left to find someone who saw him leave or knew about his whereabouts. Shinichiro decided to leave and look for Izumi outside the hospital. Izana and Kakucho did the same and went the opposite direction.

Izumi saw people staring at him and he couldn't blame them. A teen wearing a hospital gown and slippers roaming the city unsettled some. Izumi didn't come to this area a lot so he was busy admiring the scenery and bumped into someone.
