Who: Yu Narukami and everyone that wants to visit him.
Where: Hospital, ICU
When: Starting the morning of the 8th; continuing through out the day.
Summary: Yu finally awakens in the hospital.
Warnings: So many feels and kisses and yeah. There will be one post for the IT to pounce on him, and another for everyone else.

The dream he had of Izanami had long faded off into nothingness, but he was still aware; he could feel the least little twitch of dust that fell on him, feeling like he was trapped in his own uncooperative body. He could hear the feet of nurses walking by him to check his condition, the smell of flowers they were leaving in his room pleasant and something that was appreciated, even though it was something they needed to do. Then there were the doctors, humming and hawing to themselves, and more than once did he hear them mutter about how he should have died.

That really helped his spirits.

They weren't the only words he could hear, though. The doctors, everyone; they were distant, like their voices were coming to him through a thick fog, but they still reached him. Still, being trapped like he was, it was hard to tell who was saying what when, and everything ended up mashing together in his head after awhile.

My fault... all my fault...
Don't sleep too long, okay?
Guy's a lot more responsible than I thought.
I'm sure your big bro is happy you're all right too.
I hope he's all right...
If... we're too sad right now, he'll be sad when he wakes up, too.
Sensei doesn't need to forgive you, because you didn't do anything wrong, Yuki-chan...
...He can hear you, child.

"...forgive me."

He's pretty sure he moved, but he wasn't sure... no, he could move, he was moving... something was in his throat, though; he choked, gagging around... whatever it was, he didn't know. What was going on...?

"Narukami-san?" a dim voice gurgled through the haze of his consciousness. "If you can hear me, please cough as hard as you can."

Was he really hearing this? It sounded like a nurse, but he wasn't sure if it was another dream or not. Still... coughing was a good thing; if he could make his body do that, maybe it would be okay? He tried, but his body was still weak, and the wheeze that came out was rather pitiful, and it did nothing but make the tight feeling in his throat worse. His head swam from the effort and he felt like he was going to throw up despite the thing in his throat. Still, somehow he managed a cough again, a little stronger that time, and the next stronger still, until the pressure in his throat suddenly disappeared as whatever it was was finally removed. His body did not like that though, and despite how much he wanted to open his eyes, he could feel himself drifting off...

...and then he could feel sunlight on his face.

Yu flinched, feeling warm and content and... so weak; that was something that he wasn't used to. He let out a faint noise of protest at that -- the leader wasn't supposed to feel weak like that... though, then again, he did kind of just block a massive blast of magic.

Wait, "just"? That probably wasn't accurate at the moment. He groaned again, shuddering as he forced himself to wake up...

Yu's eyes blinked open slowly, painfully. Every little movement hurt, ached, threatened to send him spiraling back into his prison cell body again, but he stubbornly refused to let that happen. He opened his eyes inch by painful inch until they were finally open, staring up at a sterile white ceiling. He stayed like that for a long moment, before carefully turning his head, seeing the flowers that had been left by the nurse... and some kind of gift basket from Mays? He wondered who left that...

He groaned softly, shifting slowly; his body was stiff and aching, demanding that he stop moving but demanding movement at the same time. Limbs cracked in both protest and relief, and he blew out a pained breath, somehow staying conscious.

It hurt... but he was awake.

Investigation Team

The doctors don't let anyone else in to see him until they're sure that Yu is stable. Now that he's been awake for awhile, it's a little easier for him to move, to stay awake. He still feels terribly weak, but by the time friends and family are allowed in he's sitting up in bed, though only because it's been tilted up for him.

[greaterdays]

Nanako is of course, the first one there. She's been at the hospital every day since the accident, spending as much time as she can there after school. It's been a rough time... But still, she smiles for him. He's awake. That means now everything is okay again.

"Big bro!"

[linefacingforever]

Yu smiled tiredly, but his happiness at seeing her again was obvious. It took a supreme amount of effort, but he carefully shuffled the wires attached to him out of the way before opening his arms for her. Get over here, little sister; you need a big hug.

how does i words?

[gigglesnortpriestess]

It took a bit given the fact of the inn's opening is still slated for next week and more people have been coming in to finalize the celebrations going with a certain holiday but Yukiko's been too distracted by recent events.

Namely the one involved a bowlcut who was now waking up.

When she got the call, it took no time at all for her to suddenly leave the meeting and run as fast as she could to the hospital. Because right now, fuck the meetings. It was different this time: this time he would be awake for a visit. Like everyone else, she too came everyday and sometimes with flowers. Honestly, Yukiko's surprised his room isn't covered with them.

It's also pretty bad when the nurses know someone by name, which most likely is the entire damn team.

When she makes it to his room, she's so relieved. But...unable to move from the doorway for a moment just because she had to let it sink in. It was no dream. He's awake finally.

"Yu..."

It's quiet but it's enough to let him know she's there.

You does them like this. :P

[linefacingforever]

Yu turned at the soft call of his name, relief flooding over him when he saw Yukiko. She was all right... she was really all right; that made being injured this badly worth it.

"Yukiko..."

[celebrity_commentator]

When Rise gets there and finds out he's awake now, she has to almost physically restrain herself from trying to pin the guy to his hospital bed with a hug. Not only is that inappropriate, it would probably hurt.

She lasts about three quarters of a second before she runs over anyway and carefully puts her arms around him. "SENPAI!"

[linefacingforever]

He's up for hugs; just watch out for all the wires he's still hooked up to. He laughed softly, his throat starting to feel a bit raw just from talking to Nanako and Yukiko. Still, that didn't keep him from wrapping an arm lightly around her.

"Rise," he returned softly, rubbing her back. "Sorry to have worried you."

Shadow Operative Combo Breaker!

[testsubject031]

Arriving in a strange new place was bad enough, but to hear that close friends were severely injured? It's even more of a downer. Yukiko was kind to fill her in on the situation, and it seems the norm for humans to pay a visit. Labrys is prepared that Yu might now know her, and she's going to take it as best as she can. If he wants her gone, she'll leave.

She crosses her arms behind her back once the nurse shows her to Yu's room, quietly walking into the room and looking at all of the machines and furniture shyly before looking at him.

Hello Yu. Meet someone from your not-so-distant future.

XD

[linefacingforever]

Yu let out a curious noise at the sound of clanking coming into the room. He paused, turning toward the door... and ever so slightly widening his eyes in surprise. Oh... wow, a... that was a robot, wasn't it? Wow... wow... that was... wow.

...his inner fanboy is squealing right now.

"Can I help you?" he asked, somehow managing to keep his voice calm.

Sometime after catching up with her best friend, and learning about the whole situation, Chie arrives at the hospital. It's been a short time since she's seen Narukami, since he had gone back to his parents. And now, to find out he had been in this city, and worse, injured to the point of a coma. There's no tears in her eyes when she enters the room, but she can feel they aren't far away.

"Yu-kun.." Chie opens the door slowly, peeking into the room. When she see's him in the hospital bed, looking as he is, she rushes to his side.

"I'm so sorry.." Back in Inaba, in the TV World, Chie would stop in to stop a life threatening blow against Yu without second thought. To think that she wasn't even around to help, much less protect him is just too painful for Chie to bare.

[linefacingforever]

Yu let out a surprised noise... because, suddenly Chie! He blinked down at her in surprise, before he reached an arm up, wrapping it around her in a half hug.

"Don't apologize, Chie," he protested, giving her an encouraging smile. "Did you just arrive? You've got nothing to apologize for."

Chances are, you're not lucky enough to get in before his friends from home do; seriously, they're a crowd. Yu's pretty tired by the time they all leave, but maybe you'll be able to get some time with him before visiting hours are over.

[destinedwaters]

Aqua had been visiting every day before visiting hours ended and she needed to go to work (yes, she still went even when she was in a cast). Now that her burns had mostly healed, she didn't really need to come back... yet she did simply to see if a certain sleepyhead had made any progress.

For a long time, she worried that he wouldn't, but when she walked in...

"--I was wondering when a certain lazy bum would wake up." It was her natural response, to tease a friend even when death decided that nope, wasn't even going to bother opening the door. Still, she made her way over so it'd be easier for him to see her. "How are you feeling?"

She knows how much damage magic can do, okay. She's a mage.

[linefacingforever]

Yu looked really tired, like he was about ready to fall asleep any second. Still, he managed a weak smile for her, too stubborn to go to sleep until final call for visitors.

"Okay," he croaked out. Talking still hurt from having the breathing tube down his throat, but he managed.

[poorlittleblueburdie]

Avitus returned to the hospital now and then, checking up on people as they recovered. Right now, that meant Yu. The gray-haired human didn't look very old to him -- he estimated them to maybe be somewhere not so far apart in age, at least in human terms -- and he'd feel better himself, if he knew Yu had recovered.

So, after the others left, Yu gets another visitor.

Going to step in quietly, and just... look glad to see him, for the most part. "Hello."

[linefacingforever]

Yu blinked in surprise at the new visitor; he did not recall ever seeing this person, but... He glanced at his bedside table, where a long black feather had been moved off of him when they removed his breathing tube.

"You visited me before?"

[fools_journey]

Minato hates hospitals. He really does - and Geneva hadn't really helped that loathing. So, the moment the doctors had said he was okay to leave, he'd said his goodbyes to his roommate, gathered up his things, changed into a set of street clothes his sister had brought and then left without a backwards glance. He ... hadn't meant to come back, but then he hears that Yu had woken up. And after everything that'd happened lately, from the Anoli stuff to the night in Mictlan, it seems... it just seems right to come in for one visit. Just one, given how badly Yu had been doing.

So, Minato slips in near the end of visiting hours, not intending to stay long. Hopefully Yu is awake. If not, he'll wake up to a new card on his bedside table, but if he is, Minato pulls his hand out of his pocket just long enough to give a wave. Quietly, he says, "Hey."

[linefacingforever]

Yu's been stubbornly staying awake, determined to see every single person that wanted to see him that day. He might have been pretty damn tired, but he still managed a happy smile when he saw Minato enter.

"Hey," he returned. "Glad to see you're okay."

And it begins.

[misogynistic]

Adachi had to wait until all the visitors were gone. From what he'd seen and heard, it was a pretty good idea for him to just chat up the people standing around. He'd picked up bits and pieces about the attack, but what he still hadn't gathered was that the kids knew exactly what he did. Judging from how odd everyone had acted, though, it was safe to assume he should try avoiding the kids for now...save for one.

He'd expected a ton of visitors, but damn. Do you know how boring it is hanging around a hospital for that long? It was bad enough when he had to do it with Nanako and Dojima, but now with Yu? ...There was a joke in there somewhere.

"Oh, good, you're still awake." How lucky for Adachi though, huh? Well, sort of...

Yeeees

[linefacingforever]

Yu had his attention on the window, watching the lights on the street come on in the darkness, while lights in houses winked out. He was pretty sure that last call for visitors would be soon, and he doubted anyone other than Nanako would be around to wish him a good night. A faint sigh escaped from him, letting his eyes drift closed for some much needed sleep...

And then he heard that voice.

Yu's eyes flew open and his head snapped around, his shock making the wave of dizziness at the sudden movement easier to ignore.

"Adachi?!" he exclaimed, unable to keep his surprise from reaching his voice. Why him?!

A CHALLENGER APPEARS

[hinoto_ri]

It's at the absolute tail end of visiting hours that Yu gets a visitor that he couldn't have expected. The only warning is a few moments of low voices conversing from the hall outside, too muffled to discern - then the door opens to admit a policeman.

He briefly doffs his hat in greeting. Looks like any other cop you'd meet in Hinoto-ri, save the fresh-looking scars on his face.

"Good evening. I just have a few questions I'd like to ask you about the attack, if you're up to it."

[linefacingforever]

He's not that surprised to see a police officer -- it was a huge battle after all, and many people were involved -- but didn't this sort of thing come after a few days? Or sooner in the day? He was pretty sure his uncle would have come to question a witness in this situation sooner or another day rather than this late. Still… well, maybe they were all busy sorting out what happened.

"I don't mind," he replied, flinching at how tired and weak he sounded. "…I'm a bit tired, but I'll answer as best I can."

[hinoto_ri]

"Excellent. Any information at all will be of use."

The officer gives him a smile that seems like it's meant to be encouraging - but it's a bit empty. It's more like a pitying look than anything.

"What can you tell me about your attackers?"

A DIFFERENT CHALLENGER APPEARS

[hinoto_npcs]

Sometime in between his friends and family showing up, Yu would be given a second check-up, this one more to see how his status had changed since waking up. However, he was curiously attended to by two doctors, the latter of which had his brows creased the entire time, as if worried.

Only after they had finished their exam did either of the doctors settle in, sitting down in chairs by Yu's bed. Apparently it was chatty time, now.

"I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time, but...well, we need to explain your results to you, so..."

Despite the weak start, DR. Choi looked to his senior physician, since he was the one with the clipboard.

[hinoto_npcs]

The senior physician was flipping through the chart in his hand, before looking up at Yu with an adjustment of his glasses.

"Um, Mr. Narukami... You, wouldn't happen to have a history of head trauma, would you?"

He seemed a bit more confident than Dr. Choi, but there was still an edge that was...confused? Uneasy?
