-Kirito-
A day goes by and Yuki is still asleep, word spreads fast about the attack on the Academy and the Prime Minister declares war against the vampires the same morning, many high mages come to interview all of us and takes pictures of Yuki's wounds. I overhear them speak to the nurse as they are leaving the room.
" If the girl wakes up and is turned into a vampire be aware we will have to take her into custody. "
I'm livid at his words and walk up to him with a murderous glare.
" Ahe's the one that was able to get my Father out of there, she's also the one who took a stand to protect all of us and you want to lock her up like she's some animal if she's turned?! "
The nurse places a hand on my shoulder.
" Calm down Kirito I'm sure they wouldn't treat her like that, I'm sure they would try to help her."
I shake his hand off of me and go back to her side.
once the high mage left the Nurse came back and stood next to me looking down at Yuki.
-Yuki-
I wake up in such a daze that it made me feel sick, I weakly open my eyes to see a white ceiling, not even 30 seconds of being awake I'm struck by an enormous amount of pain that starts at my neck and radiates throughout my body, I quickly draw my hand up to touch my neck, it felt like it was on fire but my hand was caught before I could and I turn to see Kirito with a worried look on his face.
" Yuki are you in pain? "
I try to speak but couldn't because of the pain I involuntary close my eyes letting the tears fall down my cheeks.
" It's ok it'll pass soon your going to have to endure it but I'll be here with you through it. "
I couldn't help but cry aloud it was just getting even more intense that the Nurse came in with the Dr who held me down as they give me a shot. I could hear Kirito's voice grow angry and slightly open my eyes.
" What did you just give her! "
"Calm down it's just a sedative it'll help her sleep through the pain, her body can't handle it right now. "
I begin to feel sleepy but manage to take a deep breath and call out his name.
" Kirito... "
I feel his hand squeeze my hand as he replies
" I'm right here what is it. "
" your father- "
He shakes his head.
" Don't worry about his worry about yourself right now. "
I shake my head.
" No listen Kirito...your father told me to tell you that...that he's sorry but he tried to protect you and everyone else, he said that a couple of months ago he caught Lee conspiring with the vampires to kill...to kill the President and the prime minister and use all of our population as food for them, Kirito you-"
I feel myself slipping away back into darkness " Kirito... "
-Kirito-
She falls back to sleep and I wipe her tears away and the nurse looked troubled.
" I will let them know if she wakes up before I get back and the pains too much again give her the sedative. "
I nod and let my mind wander.
( why would Lee do this...There's got to be more to this story that I don't know. )
A few hours go by and she wakes up again. Her eyes were open more than the last time but she still looked like she was In pain, I help her sit up, and her body trembles
" Do you want to lay back down? "
She shakes her head and holds her breath for a second, I could tell she was still in extreme agony.
-Yuki-
" I'm...I'm fine I can withstand this... "
He nods and sits back in his chair and I sigh.
" Kirito can I be alone for a few please? "
He shakes his head
"No, you can't be left alone till we know if you're going to change into a vampire. "
( I see...that's why I'm in so much pain it's the after-effects from that guy's bite. )
I frown as I realize what he was saying.
" Is anyone else hurt? "
I asked in a worried voice and he shakes his head.
" not really, a few minor cuts and scratches but you were the only one critically injured. "
I smile
" That's good to hear-
*throb*
I clutch my chest and Kirito quickly lays me back down.
" Kirito it hurts...it hurts so bad that it's hard to breathe. "
He sighs and goes to get more sedative, it felt like he was gone for an eternity, he gently pushed the sedative into the IV bag. He then comes back and sits down next to me grabbing my hand as I drift off back to sleep.
-Kirito-
Her hand squeezes my hand till I go numb but I don't move I wait till she falls back to sleep and her hand lets go of mine.
( I can't even imagine the pain she's going through right now. )
Another day goes by and Yuki wakes up fully alert they run some tests to see if she had been turned which came back negative, it was a great relief, she was told to take some medicine and that she'll be fine after a few weeks.
-Yuki-
It turned out that I had gotten really lucky, tho I still felt weak I was able to go back to the dorms to rest, the whole school has been on lockdown for three days since the incident, they have started to repair the buildings that were damaged and began looking for a new Headmaster. Lee Ryoko has yet to be found or even seen since the day of the attack. Kirito seemed distant towards me once I was able to go home, he helped me to my room and went to his to sleep, he hardly talked to me and he looked miserably sad, I was unable to think of what to say to him, It pained me to see him in such emotional agony, I felt ashamed because I was unable to save his Father. I felt like That's was my failure...thoughts after thoughts came to me.
( if I couldn't even handle a vampire how do I plan on handle my brother! I should have been able to kill him but my power felt as if it's being compressed for some reason, I hadn't noticed it till now but after that powder entered my body a month ago I've been feeling like I have a lock-in me it was hard to describe because I have only had that feeling of being held back the other day... I wonder if Kazuki has anything to do about this but the only way I could ever know is if I confront him at the ball...)
I clench my fists at the thought of seeing him and not being able to kill him but force my anger to subside.
" Then it's settled I'll have to go. "
