Blood Within Love [Editing And Checking For Errors]

Thank You, Now Go {9}

When Sawako was called up, she was ready with her bag. She grabbed her brothers hand and practically dragged him to the car. "Hinata, take me to the hospital, I have to ask someone a few questions."

"Please tell me that it's not to see him," he looked worried but she wouldn't let it affect her.

"I have to, now drive, we don't have time for this." with that the pair drove off into the direction of the center of town. The streets seemed crowded but the traffic was low. Sawako got out of the car as soon as they parked in the parking lot. She walked up the front desk and asked the woman for his room number.

"Room number 196." walking down the hall she spotted the room number  and walked in. A man laid motionless on the hospital bed, his heart rate seemed slow but he was alive.

"Shota, we need to talk." he didn't respond, she decided to just sit and wait for him to wake. His head was bandaged from the impact, he was hit pretty hard. How long would she have to sit there just to see if he had seen his face. The sun was setting and the people in the hospital came in and out of the room. Visiting hours would be over in two hours and she hoped that he'd wake by then.

"Sawako," his faint voice was low and rough.

"You know not to call me that, it's Iwasaki,"

"We both know I never used your last name when i first met you, now, why are you here?"

"Monday night, did you see the face of the man who got you off of me?"

"Little early to be in love again, no?"

"You know very well I wouldn't love another after what you've done, did you see his face or not Shota?"

"What if I did?" he got up from the bed and made his way over to her, he couldn't step far since he was still hooked up to a monitor.

"Then I won't tell the cops it was you,"

"Deal, he walked around the halls looking for you afterwards, ask one of the doctors, his names Kyoya, he must know him since they seemed to be talking like old friends. With little light, the kid seemed to be blonde, around my height with brown eyes. Man did the impact of his fist hurt. Now go before I'm able to get close," he laid back down on the hospital bed.

"Thanks Shota." She got up and left the room on her way to ask a nurse about a doctor who worked there. The doctor was currently with a patient, and would be free immediately after, which shouldn't take long. She waited outside his office, feeling tired, it was about to be 10pm. She called her mom earlier saying that she was still at the hospital for examinations. The door opened as soon as she was dozing off. A young girl and her mother walked out, It made Sawako feel slightly sick. Knocking on the door she heard a male voice call in from the other side.

"Come in," she opened the door and was greeted by a tall man who seemed to be in his late 40's.

"Dr. Kyoya, I was told that you could answer some of my questions," she sat down in the chair in front of his desk.

"You're the girl that came in tuesday morning, is it something with your back or is it because the stitches came loose?"

"Its neither, I was told that you saw the face of the man who helped me, could you tell me his name?"

"I'm afraid I can't, but I do know it."

"At least tell him something for me, tell him thank you for helping me"

"I will if he comes back, its getting late, you should go home."

"I will. Goodbye Dr. Kyoya," she closed the door behind her and walked to the front of the hospital, the night was cold but it eased the back pain. Walking up to the bridge near her home, she sat on the riverbank and watched the moonlight reflect off the water. There was someone there, leaning on the rail close to her. Not realizing this, she took off her shoes and stocking, walking into the water. The figure turned around and looked at the girl. She sneezed as she looked down at her reflection. She still had her school uniform on, it felt better than wearing nothing. He checked the surrounding areas to make sure there was no threat to her. She didn't really care anymore, she kneeled down into the water and sat there under the moonlight, admiring the faint light. Her hair had dipped into the water, causing it to stick to the back of her shirt. He hopped into the water and walked towards the girl. As he got more into the light, it was easy to see that it was kotoro. The sudden sound of splashing water still scared her, causing her to fall into the water.  He lifted her up once he got close "Sorry to scare you."
