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.

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.

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.

[greaterdays]

She accepts the hug gladly.

"I'm glad you're awake, big bro..." She's not going to cry. He's awake now, there's no need for more crying. She can be a big girl about this.

[linefacingforever]

Aw, Nanako; it's all right, he'd totally understand if you needed to cry after everything that just happened.

"I know, Nanako," he murmured softly. "Thank you for looking after me."

He's pretty sure he heard her and Yukiko the most...

[greaterdays]

"That's what family does." She's very confident on that one. "And you looked after me, too."

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..."

>3< like this?

[gigglesnortpriestess]

It took every thing she had not to run over and hug the living daylights out of him. He worried pretty much everyone under Hinoto-Ri's radar given all the visitors he's had the past week. It took just the same amount of strength not to cry either and right now, she wanted to so bad. Tears of joy and of frustration.

It's hard letting go of those feelings overnight and she still feels responsible for what happened, those familiar words kept chanting over and over in her head.

Forgive me...

She made her way out from the doorway and closer to the bed where he was resting at. "I'm...so glad you're alright."

XD

[linefacingforever]

"Shouldn't I be saying that?" he replied softly, a hint of a smile coming to his face. He reached an arm out for her; get over here, Yukiko, just be mindful of the wires he's hooked up to.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

She couldn't help but let out a chuckle, not her usual hyena style but just one of relief. No one needed to tell her twice to move closer as she took his extended arm gently, being careful of the wires. There was no need to get too excited and cause him to relapse.

Yukiko kneeled down enough so she could move his hand to touch one of her cheeks. If he could notice, she was shaking a little, rather nervous not to cause anymore harm.

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."

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh wow, this was as nice as she could possibly feel when he was injured in a hospital bed. Better not read too much into it...but it was nice.

She straightened up carefully, letting his arm back down. "I'm so glad you're okay..."

[linefacingforever]

He leaned back on the bed again, a warm smile on his face. "I'm glad to see you're all right as well."

[celebrity_commentator]

"And next time you give me a big speech about being safe, follow your own advice, too," she said, trying to act angry through her relief but barely managing pouty. "Between you and everyone else I'm gonna have a heart attack by the time I'm twenty..."

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.

[testsubject031]

"Um, I came to see how you were doin'. I'm a friend ah yours, but from the future they said. The name's Labrys." Somebody is shyyyyy.

[linefacingforever]

"...the future?"

He couldn't hold back his surprise, or his curiosity. He... he gets to meet a robot girl? In the future of his world?

Oh man his life is so damn awesome. Yu sat up a bit more, genuinely interested.

"Could you tell me more?"

[testsubject031]

She's not sure where to start, or how much he wants to hear...let alone stand to hear. He looks to be in pretty bad shape.

"Yeah. I'm just as confused as you are about the whole deal. But anyway, I was kidnapped and taken to the TV World. You an' your friends saved me from my shadow."

[feminine_carnivore]

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."

[feminine_carnivore]

"I wasn't there to help you.. I should have been there to protect you! That's what I'm good at..." She sniffles a few times, wiping her nose with the back of her jacket's sleeve.

"Everyone has been fighting here when I've been home, thinking all the troubles of the last year were over.." Life had gone back to normal since solving the murder cases, but for the rest of their team in this city it hadn't.

[linefacingforever]

"Chie, really, it's okay," he murmured, giving her shoulder a squeeze. "You couldn't have known."

Really, this place screwed with each individual's timelines so much... he was going to have fun explaining that one to her.
