Hello! I have the weekend to relax so I'll write this OS~! ^^ I have another competition this coming Friday so I'll be quite busy! ^^ I hope everyone is well! Now onward to the story!
Pounding of the Rain
A lone figure staggered a bit as she leaned against the wall of the underpass. Her ragged breathing showed up as the cold air stung her face. She made it out of the underpass and staggered upright as best as she could. She looked up, her eyes becoming hazy as the rain fell on them. Or was it her tears threatening to spill? She didn't know for sure. She had lost someone important to her before. Not so long ago. Now, she has done something to lose the other.
"Hehehehehe... ne... are you mad? ..."
She looks down at her bloody hands. The rain was beginning to wash it away, little by little. Her legs gave way as she sank to the ground, her skirt and knee high socks getting wetter than they already were.
"Yes... I am..."
She sat there, under the rain that was pounding mercilessly against her already frail body. She sat there for who knows how long before she passed out right there, in the middle of the scarcely taken road. The sound of hurried footsteps sounded as two figures appeared at the end of the underpass. They both stopped right outside the other side of the tunnel, staring at the downed figure. Shocked at first, the obvious leader did some fast thinking.
"Dance! Call the ambulance right now! Hurry up damn it!"
"Y-Yes, Shibuya-sama!"
As Dance ran off to call from a safe place away from the rain, Shibuya ran up to the girl. Grabbing her, she gingerly picked her up so her face was at least off of the dirty floor. She took off her jacket ad covered the girl in it, hoping to keep any more rain off the injured girl.
"Shit! Geki! You better not die on me or else I'll drag your ass back from hell and beat you! Got it?!"
She kneeled there, waiting for the sound of sirens as she tried to cover the girl from any more rain. Soon, another one of their group arrived. Torigoya saw the downed girl and immediately took off her coat, trying to do what Shibuya had done. Shibuya continued to hold onto Gekikara, hugging her and trying to keep her warm.
"Geki! You better fucking wake up!"
"Shibuya! The ambulance is here!"
The only time Shibuya would let Gekikara go was when the men came and put her on a stretcher, ushering her into the truck and towards the hospital. All 3 of them road in the back, watching as the paramedic hooked Gekikara up with all these IVs to stabilize her. They got there and they rushed Gekikara into the ER. The nurses gave the girls something to wear to keep them from getting sick as they sat in the waiting room. Soon, the rest of the group arrived. Sado, already there, made her way into the ER while Yuko ran in.
"How is she?!"
"Don't know... Sado just went in to check."
"I see..."
"What happened?"
"I heard... her and Black got in a fight and Geki ran off. I'm guessing she got in a fight and had this happen."
"Reckless child..."
All of them looked down and waited. An hour or so after, a figure walked in through the big double doors. Her dark hair and clothes contrasted with the child in her arms and her eyes. Those normally emotionless eyes were filled with worry.
"How is she...?"
"Sado just told us she's in stable condition and will be moving to a regular room soon."
"I see... this... is all my fault..."
She sat down in the chair and the child crawled off her lap and walked up to Dance who picked him up and began to play with him. Black placed her face in her hands as she waited. Another 30 minutes ticked by and suddenly, the doors burst open and Sado came out, taking off her gloves.
"She's currently in a drug induced coma. She should be up in a few hours. Till then, go home and rest. It's late. Come see her tomorrow."
They all looked at the clock and saw that it was well past midnight. The little boy had fallen asleep in Shibuya's lap and Yuko was looking about ready to pass out. They all nodded and headed home, Black picking up her son and thanking the others before leaving.
The next day, Yuko came first and visited Gekikara. She scolded her for not thinking before acting but gave her a pat on the head before leaving. Sado came next giving her breakfast and telling her she can't eat Melon Pan yet because she's in no condition. Then came Torigoya, Shibuya, and Dance. It was a quick chat before they all had to run off to do whatever it was to do. The last person was Black. She entered slowly, cautiously.
"Geki...?"
Gekikara whipped her head around to look at the visitor and her gaze immediately became sad. Black looked down as she entered and closed the door. She didn't know where to look and in the end she looked Gekikara in the eye, her gaze matching Gekikara's.
"I'm... sorry..."
"No... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have done that. I was overreacting."
"But I never explained it properly!"
"It doesn't matter! I should have asked! I should have made it clear before I did anything! I sho--"
Before she could finish, Black had rushed forward and placed a kiss on the babbling girl's lips. Her hands on either side of the girls face as her thumb slowly caressed the soft skin there. She pulled away and looked at the girl.
"Listen, Rena. It doesn't matter anymore. You're okay and that's all that matters. I don't want this to happen again. I love you and I won't lose you. Okay?"
"Un... I love you too Yuki."
Suddenly, a small voice from the bottom of the bed startled the two. They both looked down and saw a set of dark eyes staring up at them. The confusion quickly turned into happiness as he saw Gekikara.
"Mama Rena!"
He reached his little hands up and Black picked him up, placing him on Gekikara's lap. He hugged her around the neck as she pet his head, messing up his dark hair. She smiled and kissed his cheek.
"He looks just like you."
"Yes... but he has your smile."
"I'm not even the father..."
"So? Maybe you are..."
They looked at each other before laughing. Black stayed the longest. They chatted about anything and everything and in the end, her son fell asleep in Gekikara's arms. As Black picked him up and made to leave, she turned back to Gekikara and gave her a quick kiss.
"You'll make a great father, Geki..."
"I hope so! But hey! I'm a girl!"
"Father!"
And with that, Black made her leave and Gekikara only stared at the door, a wide grin on her face. She turned back to the window and looked at the moon. She tiled her head and watched the stars twinkle.
"Father... eh? Hehehehehe... Then Black is my wife! Yosh!"
I'm crazy. It's okay though... LOLOL
