Work Text:
The sun shined bright in my eyes
It was weird seeing the town so...
So peacful...
I wanted to just go home and rest
I had a headache too,
Witch just added the stress
I walked past the bakery fully expecting
Granny Taiyō to jump out and give me food like she always did,
But she didn't
I wanted to pass it off but...
what if she was sick?
I decided to check on her
Lucky i did, Just as i looked inside the bakery i saw them,
gang members
They were cornering Granny Taiyō, trying to steal from her register, i thought she would be scared
But instead of fear I saw the same old
quiet, stubborn defiance in her eyes i saw when i tried to refuse her offerings
Just as i was about to fight them
fists were flying rapidly at me,
I was out numbered, but i had to protect what she worked so hard on for all these years
I yelled for her to get out and call for help,
I thought she would be okay
Little did i know there was someone lurking behind the door
They jumped out grabbing Granny Taiyō
I stopped in my tracks
I went to punch the man but someone grabbed me
Smashing my head on the counter
A wave of dizzyness came over me as i rose to my feet
there was no time for this i needed to protect Granny Taiyō
I pushed through it, not hearing Suo call out my name as I fell to the ground my world becoming black
I awoke to Suo and Nieri fawning over me
But, I felt wierd
Like i wasn't quite there with them
Someone was talking to me but i couldn't hear their words,
I was slowly lifted up into someones arms
I didn't even fight i just accepted it falling asleep amost instently in their arms if only they didn't keep waking me up, dragging me back from the peaceful darkness
But i somewhow drifted off anyways
falling into a deep slumber that lasted until the morning
I awoke to panicked faces
Water being shoved in my face and too many questions being asked
I felt overwhelmed i didn't even know what happend
Lucky someone shut them up
My world became clearer as i dragged myself awake
Someones voice was talking to me
It was Suo
"Sakura are you with us now?"
All i could answer with was a hum my tongue fealing heavy in my mouth
All i wanted was to go back asleep
I took the water suo gave me letting him slowly bring it to my lips
I instently felt better after chugging it all
"Sakura?" Nieri sounded worried what was going on?
"What is it?"I asked but it all slured together and sounded more like
"Whaaaat iss itt?"
I chose to ignore it but they all looked scared now
"Sakura?"
How many times were they going to call my name?
"Sakura look here," i was blinded by a painfully bright light in my eyes
Even He looked afraid his calm exterrior breaking
They started wispering to eachother frantically
Someone picked me up again but this time we were running and someone was shaking me awake if i even thought about sleep
--------------
I was alerted by a call for help from the bakery
I knew something felt off
the town was too quiet, something was bound to happen
Seeing Sakura's head being smashed on the counter and him falling unconcious a moment later was a surprise to say the least
Some of the gang members were already knocked out thankfully so it was a easy fight
But Sakura was still semi-unconcious
I had no clue what to do
I couldn't go to the hospital
Sakura wouldn't allow it
I tried to call him, shake him anything to hear his voice and know he would be okay
even Nirei couldn't do anything, in the end he never responded his eyes stayed hazy and unfocused
We decided to take him back to school towards the nurses office, they could at least bandage his wounds, i picked him up
But he kept falling asleep in my arms much to Nirei efforts to keep him awake he eventually gave up letting him fall into a peaceful slumber
When he woke up the next morning still looking confused and disoriented, i knew it would end up in the hospital
But our cassmates were already putting medicine and water in his lap trying to be helpful but only confusing him even more
He looked panicked at the sudden care his breath quickly picking up speed as he panicked more
I quickly told them to shut up and let him atleast calm down
I gently called out to him it took him a while but when he finally noticed me i was relieved
But he wasn't out the clear yet.
"Sakura are you with us now?" I asked but i was only met with a simple hum, it was better then nothing alteast
Maybe his throat hurt? Is that why he wasn't answering?
I gave him some water just incase
Nirei looked worried did he know something we didn't?
"Sakura?"He called
"Whaaaat iss itt?" His words slurred all together this was bad, but i had to test a theory before dragging him to the hospital
"Sakura?" He looked annoyed at our constent name calling but still looked over to me, i shined my phone flashlight in his eyes, i knew it one was reactive but the other?
it stayed unractive and unusally large
This was really bad
I frantically explained to the others, a brain bleed he could be dead in minutes now,
i picked him up running to the hospital making sure to shake him if i saw his eyes droop
But he still managed, falling limp in my arms
I didn't give up, i ran untill my legs gave out thankfully making it to the hospital before they did
They snatched him out of my arms without me needing to say anything because of our school uniforms, but i still tried to go after him
I ended up pacing the entire time without realising i was, consently worrying if i were too late
It felt like days past with each hour I hoped he would be okay
----------
Bright lights filled my vision again,
Where was i?
A person squeezed my hand, giving me a gentle smile along with it I soon realised it was Suo
"Where are we Suo?" My voice sounded week, not like me at all
"We are in the hospital you have a concussion," He sounded tired how long was he up for?
I pulled Suo onto the bed with me he needed to rest just as much as i did
I was worried when he fell asleep instently on me
I brushed those thoughts away going asleep too knowing we would be okay
