Misfortunes to Fortunes (Akashi x OC)

Chapter 12

Sumire's POV

I was carried out of the school and into the car by Sei-nii. I was really tired and wanted to sleep, but every time I tried, I would always be reminded of my wrist or ankle that was throbbing and stinging like crazy.

I could feel my body that was just warm and sweaty, cool down and my sweat made it worse. Even though the aircon in the car was at normal temperature, I felt like I've just been brought to the north pole and dunked in the water.

I couldn't stop trembling in Sei-nii's arms and just clung onto his shirt with my non-injured hand. He seemed to have understood the situation and said a few words to the chauffeur that I couldn't make out,  he then wrapped me up tighter in his Teiko basketball jacket. He brought me closer to him and kissed my forehead.

I coughed a few time and he stroked my back soothingly. He put him hand on my forehead and took it off after a while. He looked worried as he peered down at me and said something to the driver. He muttered a curse under his breath which was something he didn't normally do. Sei-nii was someone who doesn' t swear or curse. For him to do something like that, he must be really agitated.

As the car drove just under the speed limit, I could feel a headache growing. It's like with every vibration the car receives, my head is vibrating as well. It felt like my head was gonna explode. I let out a whimper that caught Sei-nii's attention as he looked down on me.

"...Sei-nii... "-Sumire

"I know... I know. You're gonna be fine. We're almost there."-Akashi

I felt tears well up in my eyes as the slid down my cheeks. He saw this wiped my tears away with his thumb. He then rested his hand on my cheek. Feeling the familiar warmth, I grabbed one of his fingers and squeezed it. He engulfed my small hands in his and gave me a reassuring squeeze and smile.

Akashi POV

I look at Sumire's trembling form and feel a pang in my chest. Seeing her like this was unbearable. I swear I will kill that guy who did this to her. He doesn't deserve to live. I held on to her tiny pale hand and hugged her closer to me.

I noticed earlier that she was burning up. Probably because her body isn't strong enough to heal her injuries and take care of her fatigue at the same time. The best medicine for now would be sleep, but with all that she's feeling now, I doubt she would be able to sleep peacefully.

We soon reached the manor and I was quick to carry Sumire upstairs to her bedroom where he had previously called and ordered the family doctor to wait. I kicked the door open and saw the doctor looking at me with a surprised look.

I placed Sumire on her bed and she curled up. I tried to take my jacket from her but she hugged it like a child would with their safety blanket or teddy bear. I sighed and just pulled the covers over her. I sat by her on the bed and held her hand.

"Um... What's wrong with the young miss?-Doctor

"She was injured during a basketball match earlier today."-Akashi

"Where was she injured?"-doctor

"Her left ankle and right wrist."-Akashi

"May I take a look?"-Doctor

I nodded and watched as the doctor pulled the covers up a bit so he could see her feet. He lifted her left leg slowly and gently. Sumire winced a bit when the doctors cold hands rested on her ankle that had swelled up to about two times the normal size.

I sensed her pain and held her uninjured hand and she squeezed it hard so while the doctor was tending to it, she could feel less pain. The doctor finished and wrapped it up in some gauze. He then moved onto her wrist.

He gave her wrist a similar treatment. After he was done, he took Sumire's temperature.

"She's suffering a high-grade fever. Her temperature is now at 40.2 degrees C. She probably won't be able to move much, if not at all until her fever goes down."-Doctor

"I understand."-Akashi

"Also, her ankle and wrist is sprained really badly. A bit more and she would have fractured or broken it. She wont be able to do anything with her left feet and right hand for around two and a half months."-Doctor

"So how is she going to go to school?"-Akashi

"I would recommend her not to go to school until her fever heals completely and her hand and feet.... She can't get crutched either... hm... she would have to get either a wheelchair or..."-Doctor

"Or?"-Akashi

"Um... Someone would have to have someone carry her around until it heals. Oh! and also she won't be able to write because she's right handed."-Doctor

"I see... Thank you Doctor."-Akashi

"Your welcome. I'll take my leave now."-Doctor

With that, the doctor walked out. The doctor had given Sumire some numbing cream and painkillers to ease the pain so she could rest for a bit.

I guess I'll just have to carry her around.... using a wheelchair would be too troublesome and plus, we don't have elevators in our school. We'll be sitting down most of the time anyways so that's that... My train of thought was broken when I heard a angelic voice call out my name.

"Sei-nii?"-Sumire

"Hm?"-Akashi

"...could you stay with me?"-Sumire

"Sure. I'll be here so go to sleep."-Akashi

She nodded slightly and climbed into bed with her. I only just noticed but because the doctor had left, her ears and tail was out.

I remember her telling me that keeping her cat features in also took a bit of energy to do. I guess now that she felt safe and drained, she didn't have enough energy left to keep it hidden.

Once I lay down, I hugged her close to me and rubbed her behind the ears. She purred softly and I chuckled. Her eyes slowly fluttered close while I was thinking about ways that I can take revenge on that Ishikawa guy.

She probably sensed my dark thoughts and grabbed my other hand. She put it under her head like a pillow and I smiled at her. I relaxed and gave her cheek a little scratch before we fell asleep together.
