DECEMBER | Kakucho Hitto

08

"The police!" Kakucho immediately run towards where Sanzu and the others were. "We need to go." Kakucho carefully held Sanzu's head. Rindo is bawling beside Sanzu so he couldn't really do anything right now.

"I'll go get the car." Takeomi run towards to where their car was. Kakucho helped Mikey carry Sanzu as Ran and Reine tried to get Rindo off of Sanzu.

"No, Haru!" Rindo cried while still trying to grab Sanzu. Kakucho bit his lower lip, he knows that Rindo and Sanzu has something going on between them. Mochi drove the car for them and as for Koko and Inupi, they're just standing beside them.

They left first before Takeomi came and they hurriedly place Sanzu on the back seat. Mikey went inside and sat beside Sanzu. "I'm going with you." Kakucho said. Sanzu may have a pain in the ass but Kakucho learned how to care for him.

"We will go and try to find someone that can help." Koko speaks up. "Seishu brought his bike so we'll be fine." Kakucho can see how Koko's hands trembles. He's one of the people who's with Sanzu while Kanto Manji Gang is still forming. He might have likened Sanzu more than he thought.

"Call this number." Takeomi showed him a contact info. "Mikey, do you know where-"

"The vacation house near Kyoto." Mikey cut him off immediately. "Now, Takeomi! The police are near!" He panicked and Kakucho went inside the car immediately.

They drove for hours and Kakucho can't help but feel nervous at Sanzu's situation. It's taking so long and Sanzu is losing more blood. And when they arrived, he and Mikey immediately carried Sanzu and brought him inside the vacation house.

They made Sanzu lay down on one of the beds. This vacation house was familiar to Kakucho, they've been here countless times and he knows where Sanzu likes to rest here. It was the room far away from the others.

"I will go check Takeomi." Kakucho told Mikey and the latter just nodded, holding Sanzu's hand still.

He closed the door behind him and went to go find Takeomi. He found the older man talking to a woman, a doctor to be exact. "Your what?" The woman speaks in a small tone of voice as she held Takeomi's arms. "Show me where he is." She says calmly and fixes her lab coat before grabbing the kit placed on the floor.

"He's in the last room." Kakucho speaks up for Takeomi who can't regain his composure.

The doctor nodded silently before running towards the said room. "Takeomi, go beside Haruchiyo." They didn't notice Mikey behind them until he spoke. The older man nodded before silently walking towards the room. Kakucho can see how much this situation breaks Takeomi.

He followed Mikey out of the house to the garden where the hammock was. Mikey sat there, the crickets leaving the place noisy and the cold wind passes them. Kakucho went back inside the house and he saw Takeomi holding a wet towel. His shoulders is shaking while facing the sink and Kakucho went near him to get the wet towel and put it back on the basin.

"Let me." Kakucho says. Takeomi didn't say anything but he followed Kakucho inside the room.

"Did you get?" The doctor blinks up at Kakucho then her eyes glancing at Takeomi beside him. "Uh, can you please place it here?" Kakucho nodded and walked towards the doctor. He placed the basin on the table near the bed and looked at Haruchiyo. The doctor is stitching the wound and Kakucho breath out. "His pulse is weak. But, I'll try to..." She glances up at Takeomi who walks close to them and stayed beside the doctor.
