A/N: AAAAAAAAANNNNNDDDD YESSSSS!! I live~~ I have been very busy procrastinating, editing, re-editing a bunch of things in this chapter. But hey you can't rush perfection! 
anyways i will update, but it'll be a once a week thing. Any day of the week actually so you guys night get some double updates. Yay for not procrastinating!! @Kairi: Uhm.. Yup, Yui went to the states to finish her studies there because her mom wanted her to forget about Haruka but she never did , oh yeah she acts tough and cold when Haruka is around but she's really sweet. [spoilers] 
@trinitylian:Lian~ Is it okay if I call you that? Oh well, yes watch Paru become a great doctor~ Thank you for reading~~ 
@Yuuyu: Well, yes Yui did move to the states to finish her studies and came back because her mom nagged her to work in Japan rather than work in the US. Did she cheat? i'll keep that for a while. The reason why Paru's abdomen hurts will be revealed in later chapters, Paru can't change her name back to Shimazaki cause what went down was a divorce, which is kinda like you get to keep the last name of your husband/wife unless you re-marry again, unlike annulment which pretty much makes your marriage crap meaning it never existed, that's why Yui's mom was ranting to Yui on why she filed a divorce. I hope I answered all of your questions OTL
@MJYJR: OTL sorry for making you wait.ON WITH THE STORY
We all fail don't we?Haruka’s eyes were burning into hers, when they received a message that their team was being paged in the emergency room.
They raced past everybody who was doing their own duty, Haruka stopped to observe the hustle and bustle of the ER, she smiled to herself, she never felt so alive.
Seeing the paramedics wheel in a patient, their team huddled up as nurse Sato announced the patient to be wheeled in to room 2.
Haruka looked so dumbstruck as Yui walked passed her to help transfer the patient on the bed, “Transfer on three. One, two, three.” the paramedic said as they lifted the patient.
As the hustle and bustle of Yui attaching cords to the unconscious patient for an ECG, “Someone draw blood and get it to the lab.” Resident Kenji said to the team.
All of them was looking at one another, but Haruka steeled her nerves and volunteered “I-I’ll do it.” She said walking to the tray of cotton pads and syringes, grabbing one of each.
She felt around for the artery, careful not to hit any veins, but she was having a hard time.
“What happened with this one.” Chief Itano asked putting on her stethoscope, listening to the breathing.
“He fell unconscious during his hike, luckily for him he sustained no bruises and injuries. but his blood pressure is barely 85 with a pulse rate of 96, and his breathing is 36, faster than normal.” Kenji repeated for the chief.
The chief hummed, “Any history of heart diseases?” she asked.
“None chief.” Kenji replied.
Haruka kept feeling around but its taking her too long and her neck is tingling, “That bastard is looking at me again.” She thought, but did not risk looking back at Yui she already knows she had a giant smirk plastered on her stupid face, so she just focused on finding the artery.
“How much saline has he had?” Itano asked looking at nurse Sato.
“2.5 liters and 13 of oxygen chief.” the nurse said.
Itano nodded and took of her stethoscope, looking at the interns “Well if it isn’t a field trip of lovely kids.” The chief said smiling, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ALL STANDING THERE FOR? Furukawa, Takayangi, ask nurse Kawaei to accompany you to the pediatric area, Watanabe, Yamamoto you follow nurse Sato, Now!” Itano barked orders with both her hands on her hips.
“This is not good.” Haruka thought as she kept feeling around the patient’s arm, she made a mistake of looking up where she found Chief Itano glaring at her, when she felt the artery under her fingertips, she took of the cap to the syringe and inserted the needle, she carefully drew the blood just enough for some tests.
“Have him undergo cardiac enzyme test and a chest X-ray.” Itano ordered to Kenji
He nodded “Have you got the sample Yokoyama?” Kenji asked.
“Yes.” Yui and Haruka responded at the same time.
Kenji laughed “I forgot that both of you have the same last names.”
“Yeah. Well hurry up and get the test done both of you.” Itano said facing Yui.
“Me?” Yui said.
“Oh no, I was talking to myself. Yes you, don’t make me repeat myself again.” Itano said “Now, attach the foley.” She looked at Haruka and then back to Yui.
____________________________________
Waiting for the result was eating her away her time, being with this idiot for a year will drive her mad, and she can’t do anything about it. The hospital isn’t big enough for the both of them, and three months in this tiny hell hole called Emergency Room isn’t helping her.
She looked at her watch
11:18 AM, Yui sighed, looking at Haruka walking slowly towards her, when she made a mistake of looking to her right. “What the hell, you have got to be kidding me, she cannot see her here.” Yui quickly turned around and headed for Haruka and grabbed her arm.
“Hey I have to--” But she was cut off by her ex wife dragging her to a small broom closet. “WHAT THE HELL! What are you gonna do to me?!” Haruka said shielding her body with her arms, when Yui pressed her hands to her mouth.
Yui took a peep outside the door, and immediately closed the door..
“What is wrong with you?” Haruka asked “What if someone saw us?”
Yui shook her head, noticing that her coat was wet. “What is this?”
“If it isn’t obvious its urine, I was on my way to throw it out when you grabbed me out of no where and dragged me here.” Haruka said branding Yui the bag of urine in her hands.
When Yui’s phone rang. “Please just keep quiet.”
“What? Who is that anyways?” Haruka asked but found Yui’s finger on her lips again.
“Hai, mama?” Yui said placing her cellphone in between her ear and shoulder, peeking out the door. “Weren’t we supposed to go meet each other later this evening? Why are you at the hospital?” Yui asked.
“How did you know I was at the hospital?” Kaoru Yokoyama asked.
“Uh, well. I-I saw you when I passed by.” Yui said laughing nervously.
“Oh you did? I stopped walking, I’m near the elevator. Do you want me to come to here you are?” “Ahh! No no no. It’s okay mama. I’m kinda busy right now so I’ll call you later.” Yui said before she hanged up.
Haruka kept sending death glares to her ex wife, “Oy, Yokoyama Yui, what on Earth are you doing right now?”
“Can’t you tell? I’m wiping pee off my coat that you spilled on me.” Yui retorted.
Haruka chuckled, placing her hand on her hip, “Now why do I have to avoid your mother again? This is the place where I work.”
“All the more reason to avoid her then. You are here in my workplace, you are stuck here like a piece of lettuce in between teeth. Do you think my mom will keep quiet about this if she finds out? You of all people should know better about my mom.” Yui said closing in some of the gap between her and Haruka.
“Did you just call me a vegetable?” Haruka said in disbelief.
“At least a lettuce has some use. Now while I'm being nice to you, get this; do not get in my way or in the way of my future, do not cause trouble and just get out.” Yui said closing in on Haruka completely trapping her. “It’s better than getting discovered by mom, be humiliated and kicked out, isn’t it?”
Haruka’s hands were shaking, her face as red as a tomato because of anger swelling greatly inside her as she poured over the contents of the bag in her hands on Yokoyama Yui’s face.
“Ahhhh.” Yui exclaimed wiping urine off her eyes, “Are you crazy?!”
“Why do I have to suffer all of this because of your mother? What relationship do we even have? I’m not secretly dating you! You and I are complete strangers no, no connections whatsoever!” Haruka said gritting her teeth.
“Strangers? Okay, if we are strangers THEN GET OUT OF HERE!” Yui shouted at Haruka. “Don’t be a bother to other people and just quit now!” Yui shouted before she left the broom closet, slamming the door in her wake.

It was the third time she has washed her face now and the smell of urine isn’t fading. “She threw pee at this gorgeous face, I was her wife once! How can that idiot do this to me. I feel the need to slap her silly! Aish.” Yui said gripping the sink tightly.
Her phone vibrated against her thigh signaling that someone was calling her, “What now?” She rolled her eyes on the offending thing before picking up the call, “Hello?”
“Yui, where are you now my daughter?” her mother asked.
“Why do you keep calling?” Yui whined
“Well it’s your first day so I should at least met up with the hospital director, he’s a good friend of your uncle you know.” “Mom I need to go!” Yui said.
“Oh fine, stay calm when you are busy. You sound stressed, and don’t forget about that blind date I set up for you.” her mother reminded.
“Yeah, yeah. Bye.” Yui shook her head.

“What is taking those two idiots so long?” She said putting her hands on her hips again.
When Haruka entered room 2 again. “Did you talk to the guardian?” She asked.
“Yes chief, she said that he hasn’t had any surgery for the past year, and hasn’t been in any accidents, and no long distance trips either.” Haruka recounted what the patient’s wife told her.
Kenji sighed, “He showed inverted T waves in the ECG, it could be a heart problem chief.”
Itano shook her head. “His breathing isn’t getting any better, so I’m not ruling out Pulmonary Embolism for now. Where is the blood test?”
“Here chief.” Yui entered the room panting, her face wet.
“What happened to you?” the chief asked.
“Uh. I was getting a bit sleepy waiting for the result so I washed my face to rid of it.” Yui said glancing at Haruka.
“What the hell did you do to make you sleepy?” Itano said looking at the result that Yui handed over.
“Aish, its a result for a venous blood test.” Kenji said scratching his head.
“I am going to have a heart attack with this.” Itano sighed “Yokoyama Yui, did you even check to see if this is correct?!”
“N-No chief.. I was in a hurry so I didn’t check.” Yui hanged her head.
“But you have the time to wash your face?! Get yourself together!” The chief shouted hitting Yui’s head with the envelop. “Yokoyama Haruka,” the chief said pointing at Haruka “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DRAW?” she shouted crumpling the paper and throwing it at Haruka’s direction.
“Its not an excuse that it’s your first day as an intern, you should know at least know the difference between drawing blood from veins and arteries!”
Haruka was close to tears. “I-I’m sorry, I’ll do it again.” she said moving towards the tray of syringes.
“Forget about it, you’ve done enough.” Itano sighed. “Yokoyama Yui you do it, and do it fast.”
“Yes chief.” Yui replied pushing haruka aside to get the syringe.
“Did you leave your brain somewhere? How dare you call yourself an intern, if you can’t even draw the right kind of blood.” the chief said staring directly at Haruka’s eyes.

It was finally lunch, well her lunch time because everyone on her team was on lunch, she walked towards the cafeteria with her hand in her coat pockets.
“Oy Yui! Over here.” She heard Sayaka call across the crowded cafeteria.
Yui sat down hard when she reached the table, rubbing her temples.
“What happened? I saw you hand over the blood again.” Sayaka asked putting an arm around Yui’s shoulder.
“What do you think happened? She drew venous blood, and so I had to re-draw the arterial blood, and have my ass chewed by the chief.” Yui said shaking her head. “Good thing there was no further issue.”
Everyone at the table sighed.
“Seriously that ponkotsu, she made a scene on the first day and now this.” Airi said.
“Mouu honey, I’m afraid for our internship.” Akane said clinging on to Airi. “How can we even work as a team with someone like her? Oh honey now I’m really afraid.”
Airi just held her fiance tight. “I’m scared too. Yui senpai what should we do?”
Sayaka stroked her chin. “Well the way i see it, there are only two options. One, the ponkotsu gets her shit together and does well for the sake of the whole team. Two, the ponkotsu gets her shit together and quit.”
Airi groaned, “I hope she gets her shit together and quit already.”
Yui slammed her palm on the table, getting her team’s attention. “I am not just gonna sit back here and wait for her to come to her senses. I’ll make her quit.”
When Sayaka nudged her pointing at Haruka who just entered the cafeteria. “We believe in you Yui. Fighting!”
____________________________________
Haruka was hungry and she can’t think when she’s this hungry, her eyes stung because of the tears earlier and the chief’s hurtful words, no matter it was for her personal growth anyways.
When Yui bumped into her. “How can you even eat in this kind of situation.” Yui said in a hushed tone.
Haruka rolled her eyes.
“My ass got chewed by the chief because of you, how many things do you need to ruin before you come to your senses and just quit.” Yui said facing Haruka.
“Stop it.” Haruka said with a blank face.
“Stop what? Find something else now.” Yui said cutting in front of Haruka.
“Yui~” Miyuki called approaching Yui.
“Ah, Miyuki. Are you gonna eat now?” Yui asked as she moved blocking Haruka’s way.
“Yeah. I did a simple suture job today so I as a bit late for lunch.” Miyuki said.
“Oh wow, a suture on the first day?” Yui said feigning disbelief.
“Un, Dr. Umeda Ayaka helped me out, so I was in good hands.” Miyuki smiled.
“Still a suture on the first day, impressive. Oh wait you can cut before me.” Yui said pulling a giggling Miyuki in front of her, she glanced at Haruka and sighed, “Fine ladies first.” Yui said as she pushed Haruka in front of her.
Miyuki turned around to face Haruka with a serious expression. “Nee, if you’re going to stay with us in the ER please make sure you do your job correctly. Nurses here have been talking about you a lot, and I just can’t stand someone talking behind someone’s back. I hate bullying, plus our team can’t take fault because of you. And if you mess up one more time our whole team could fail and lose everything we have worked for.” Miyuki crossed her arms, “I mean how could you not bring any clothes for your first day of work?”
“Oh so that’s where she got that stylish top. Tch, she was never fashionable but she was still very cute in her outfits before.” Yui thought as she peeked at Haruka’s top, but chastised herself for thinking about her ex-wife in that way, I mean they are already each other’s ex-wife.
Haruka sighed from embarrassment covering herself with her coat “I--I have a good reason for that.” she replied rubbing her temples. “And don’t worry Watanabe-san. I will be strictly professional so that all of us can pass.”
The line was going slow and the silence between them in unnerving.
Finally they get to the buffet table, Miyuki got all the veggies that she could fit in her plate, “Ahh, I see Miyuki-san is a vegetarian!” Yui exclaimed ‘accidentally nudging’ Haruka.
“Yup, I pity animals being slaughtered to I tend to eat veggies only. Is Yui a vegetarian too?” Miyuki asked before she completely left the line.
“Yeah I am.” Yui said filling up her plate with some vegetables.
Haruka shook her head as she filled her plate with meat, and a lot of it. “Tch. Vegetarian my ass.” she mumbled loud enough for her ex-wife to hear.
“I’m sorry?” Yui stopped behind her.
“Vegetarian my ass, you’re one to talk for someone who can finish two orders of pork belly at 3 in the morning.” Haruka spat as she walked away from a confused Yui.
