Animal Instinct

Chapter Six

"Chizuru! Where are you!?" Kyo's voice called. He was just outside the metal door.

"First, arigato," I smiled as I began to see things around me. I gasped. Whoa. Who. Whoa. How do you breath again? "Okay, deep breaths, in out, in out." I grabbed my bracelet and slipped it onto my wrist.

"Chizuru!"

"Kyo-kun! I'm in here! Help!" I called, throwing on a shirt. I heard a loud bang, and I guessed that he was slamming his body against the door. Finally, after about five more attempts, the door finally gave way and fell to the floor with a crash. Kyo landed on the metal door. I rushed to his side. I mean, as fast as a girl with a broken leg could. "Kyo! Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. But how are you?" He massaged his shoulder and winced.

"Who cares?"

"I do! I'm so happy," he smiles and hugs me. My heart pounds in my chest and a pink color dusts my cheeks. He pulls away, only to pick me up bridal style and we walk the fuck out of there all fancy like. Like a boss. Bosses. "You need to be taken to the hospital."

"Kyo, I'm sorry I'm getting blood all over you. I don't think I'll make it to see the doctors face."

"What! No! You can't die!" Tears well up in his eyes. "You just can't! I love you too much!"

"No, I'm feeling unconscious. Get some cloth or s-something to wr-wrap around my woun-d," I instructed. He tore off his shirt and firmly wrapped my leg. "Th-there's a hospital on 17th Street. A f-few blocks awa-y."

"Hold on Foalan!" He screamed. "Dammit! Stay with me!" He dashed off towards 17th Street while I slowly was enveloped into darkness.

♤♡♢♧

A continuous, steady beeping filled my ears as I struggled to open my eyes. The bright white hospital lights almost blinded me. I noticed I was covered in blankets. I tried to lift my hand but something was pressing and squeezing it. I looked towards my left and noticed an orange haired boy.

"Kyo?" I softly called. My voice was hoarse and I needed some water. Some IV tubes were stuck in my body.

He moaned and opened his sleepy eyes. "Chizuru? Oh my god! You're okay! You fucking worried me! And Akito! Lemme get the nurse!" He dashed out and soon dragged in a nurse.

"Hiya! I'm nurse Stacey! I see that you're awake. Here's some water," she handed me a glass which a drank up in one gulp. "Lucky your boyfriend-"

"We're not together!" Kyo and I said simultaneously and blushing.

"Don't deny it. Anyway, he brought you here early enough. You almost died twice," she nodded to herself. "Luckily, no organs were harmed, but you do have a fractured arm and a broken leg. I advise you to be careful."

"Thanks, do you know when I'll be released?"

"Hm, I'd say about a week or so." I nodded and she walked out.

"Hey, I'm glad you're okay," Kyo smiled one of his rare smiles and lightly kissed my forehead.

"Wanna sleep on a not-so-comfy-bed instead of a really-not-comfy-chair?" He nodded and climbed in next to me. He wrapped an arm over my shoulder and I rested my head upon his shoulder. I was nodding off to sleep until I heard a sweet whisper of three words:

I. Love. You.

My heart fluttered and I couldn't sleep that night. A small smile graced Kyo's face. "I love you, too, Kyo-kun."
