The Promise (Chapter 6/??)
The Promise (This Chapter: PG)
Written by ZB24
I was suddenly immersed in white light. It was warm and comforting and I thought, "This must be what babies in the womb feel like..."
I could hear Hiroto calling after me, but I didn't respond; I was too enveloped in this feeling.
I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and a voice that felt familiar spoke, "Yozora."
I opened my eyes, slowly as my eyes adjusted to this strange new light. I saw who was standing before me...
"Miyavi" I spoke, slowly smiling.
He pulled me into a hug and I cling to him. I'd been longing to feel his touch for so long, ever since--
"Miyavi... Where are we?" I asked.
"It's the intermediary between life and death, Yozora. I came here to meet you."
"You knew, I was..." Thoughts of my suicide attempt flashed through my head and I held him tighter.
"I am always watching you." He stated.
I pulled back a bit so I could look him in the eyes and say, "I'm sorry Miyavi, I broke my promise to you. I didn't want to do it, I just was so upset and got carried away. I missed you so much and life isn't the same without--"
"I know Yozora," He stroked my hair, "you will be okay though. You can go on to live a beautiful life without me. Just know," He moved to touch my cheek, "that I am always always looking after you. I love you very much, but I want you to learn how to live without me. I have faith that you can."
I hugged him again, "I'm scared."
"I know, but Hiroto will look after you. You're not completely alone down there." I heard a smile in the next sentence, "Besides, he really likes you."
"But I love you!!" I whined out. I was scared that time here would run out that I wouldn't have enough time with Miyavi before I was sent back...
He pulled away from me, "You can always love me, even if you open your heart to another. There is no betrayal in that."
I had started to cry, but Miyavi wiped my tears and asked, "You'll try, won't you Yozora?"
I nodded and a few seconds later he surprised me with a long, passionate kiss. And in that moment I knew that I was strong enough to continue living my life while keeping the memory of Miyavi within... That it was okay...
---
The next thing I knew, the darkness behind my closed eyes turned into a darkness I was submerged in. And I heard Miyavi's voice once more speaking a quiet "Jaa ne~" as he always did...
Gravity hit me like a ton of bricks as I found myself in the emergency room with doctors all around. They were shouting...
"Her heart has started again! Someone get me sutures!!"
"Yes doctor!!"
"We've got to stop this bleeding..."
I felt someone stick me with a needle and before long I was asleep in grey...
---
When I woke up once more, there was sun streaming in through the window onto my bed. It looked like late morning. I smiled slightly, and looked to the other side of the room until my eyes landed on Hiroto. He had fallen asleep in the stiff hospital chair and had some blood on him. I was worried until I remembered that he'd come to save me...
I pulled an arm off from under the cotton blanket and saw the bandages on my arms. There were a few small dotted lines were my blood had seeped through... I just frowned and turned my attention back to Hiroto.
"Hiroto will look after you. You're not completely alone down there."
I reached out and nudged his shoulder with the arm that didn't have an IV in it. He woke up immediately, flinching, and let out a sigh of relief when he saw me staring at him. He stood up, letting the jacket on his lap slip to the floor, and hugged me tightly.
"Thank God, Thank God. I was so worried..."
He pulled away and looked me in the eye.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah..." I mumbled out.
"I'm gonna call the nurse in okay?"
I nodded as he left the room...
---
The nurse and Hiroto came back shortly. The nurse looked terrible in the too-tight-uniform and she had fake looking hair, a rotting incisor tooth, and a mole on her neck. I felt like throwing up, but didn't say anything.
She smiled widely at me like I was a two-year-old and said, "How are you feeling today~?"
"Fine." I said.
She checked my blood pressure and began to change my bandages...
My arms looked terrible. The deep red gnashes scared me and the sutures make me feel like the subject of a horror film. I wanted to cry... Look at what I've done now... I thought.
But the nurse smiled again (ugh!) and began talking. At least her breath didn't smell like fish...
"You know everyone around here is saying you're a miracle!" She said excitedly.
"Really?"
"Oh yes! Thanks to your boyfriend, you made it here just in time! A moment later and you wouldn't be here right now. Doctor Taka said that you died for five minutes and are very lucky."
"Hiroto's not my boyfriend." I stated. I died for five minutes... I guess that's how I got see Miyavi...
"He's not?" She looked and Hiroto and then at me, "Well, you two would look cute together!" She said, grinning again (Bleh!) as she finished wrapping up my other arm.
"All done! " She said, lightly patting the clip holding the bandage closed. "I'll be back to check on you in a few hours.
You really don't have to do that...
"Okay, thank you." Hiroto spoke and bowed for me.
He sat back down in the uncomfortable looking chair and I could feel him watching me.
I laid back down and pulled the blanket up to my neck.
"Hiroto..."
"Yeah?"
"I don't like this hospital."
"The nurse is weird, I know." I could hear a slight laugh in his voice.
"No... I get a weird feeling here."
He stayed silent and I felt a sense of foreboding as the clouds set in outside.
I rolled onto my side, towards the window, and thought of Miyavi as I drifted off to sleep. I swore to myself that when I woke up, I would definitely try to live again. It was not the end for me...
A/N: And it's not the end for this fic. either! I get ideas for it sometimes when I'm watching a movie or listening to a song and that was how the last chapter was written. This one was brought on by the "Symphony" remix of Gackt's new "Journey through the Decade" song.
PLEASE COMMENT if you liked this chapter. I think it might the best yet, but maybe not. Let me know. (^_~)
