Takano's POV

It's been three weeks now since the accident. Ritsu was placed into a chemically induced coma. The reason being is that whenever he woke up, he would start to panic, time and time again. After the 9th panic attack of the day, Dr. Nowaki told me that if he kept having these attacks and didn't rest, it could endanger the recovery process from the surgery. So they had to place him in a coma until he was fully recovered.

I had stayed right next to the brunett this whole time and only left once to get a change of clothes and to stop at Marukawa and inform everybody that Onodera and myself would not be coming into work for awhile due to the accident.

I had them split up Onodera's authors and placed Tori in charge while I was away.

Thankfully everyone was understanding. And as a plus Tori told me that he would be visiting the hospital every day anyway since his author Chiaki Yoshino was laid up after a major accident and was in the middle of rehabilitation but was now well enough to work on his manga.

Tori said he would bring me any storyboards that needed my approval and I thanked him greatly.

At the moment I was sifting through some storyboard making a correction here and there when I heard a groan.

I placed the storyboards down on the small cherry red desk the hospital had provided me, and glanced at my comatosed lover.

The young brunet was still asleep, I saw, but then I noticed that his face had twisted itself into a look of fear.

I then concluded that he was having a nightmare.

I stood up and grabbed Ritsu's hand, holding it close to my heart. I then took my other hand and ran it through the youths,silky soft hair. I then slowly lowered my self so that my lips could grace my loves forehead. I then let my lips wonder over to his ear where I preformed the only ritul that we discovered that calmed down the nightmares. I whispered sweet nothings into his ear, while willing the nightmare to leave.

After awhile the brunette calmed back down and returned to his listless state. I seighed and sat back down, and picked back up the storyboards I was working on.

Suddenly I heard a knock at the door before I heard it click upon without my answer.

Dr. Nowaki strode in with his clipboard.

"Good evening Takano-San, how are you today" he asked me with politeness.

Forcing a small smile I replied "The same as usual, how are you?" I then asked watching as Dr. Nowaki went through another examination of Ritsu.

"Oh well I've been better, my lovers home sick but he forced me to come to work" I saw Nowaki shudder, probaly in remembrance on what was threatened if he didn't go I thought.

"Oh well I hope your lover gets better" I said being polite.

"Thank you"

I saw Dr. Nowaki then lift Ritsu's eyelids and lit a flashlight into it. He then wrote some things down before checking his vitals.

"Ahh splendid Takano-San, splendid" escaped the docs lips.

I stood up and asked hopefully, "yes what is so splendid"

"According to his charts Onodera-San is fully healed from his surgery, no we just have to wait for him to come out of his comma"

"How long until that happens? I asked curiously.

I saw Dr. Nowaki's smile falters as he said to me, "Actually, we don't know it may be some time till he wakes"

I sat down a little dejected that there is no precise time time till Ritsu wakes.

"Come now Takano-San don't get so downhearted he'll wake in time, just be a little patient and wait for him." Dr. Nowaki said trying to cheer me up.

"That shouldn't be too hard I thought to my self", "I mean I've already waited for him for ten years so I'm used to it, I'll wait for you as long as it maybe my love."

Ritsu's POV

I can't remember how long it's been since I've been in this eternal darkness.
I tried once to make a presupposition. However, every time I tried to recall that which was hidden from my mind, a caustic pain would shoot through my already impaired mentality.
So I forsook all attempts to finding myself in this crepuscular.
Instead I wandered aimlessly, not knowing where I was headed but to anxious to stop my movement.
Then I happened upon a door in the darkness that I somehow knew contained some of my lost memories.
I looked at the door and saw chains dangling brokenly from the hinges and a dark aura seeped from inside.
However my ambitious curiosity drove me to throw these caution signs from my mind and encouraged me to proceed.
I then took some shy steps in the doorway.
Suddenly the darkness that I had been in morphed into a dark gray basement scene that held an assortment of tortures devices and sex tools.
I felt that this scene I see before me is something I'm not supposed to remember.
Instead of giving into my curiosity's hunger by proceeding forward I turned to leave, and prevent myself from remembrance, but not before I heard a voice that sounded strangely familiar say
"Ah Ritsu my dear, this is your punishment for pulling that little stunt earlier."
Turning my head slightly I saw a strange man carrying a youth that was impersonating my looks.
He was also tied up and was currently struggling to get free; I saw fear in his tear soaked eyes.
"Yes this is definitely something I'm not supposed to remember." With that thought swirling through my petrified head I bolted from this hell back through the door and into the darkness, escaping the horror that was about to unfold, however that didn't stop the cries of pain that echoed around the darkness.
I curled into a ball and started to cry praying for the screams of pain to go away.
As if to answer my prayer, I felt a presence filter around me and blocked out the screaming.
That presence was so familiar to me yet I could not recall who it belonged too.
Next thing I heard was someone whispering "I love you Ritsu" over and over again. Calming me down back to forgetfulness.
