The morning light lit up the hospital rooms and warmed the rooms a bit. Mei groaned as she started to wake up from her long sleep. She blinked a few times adjusting to the light. She felt a warm feeling on her hand and turned around seeing the young pink haired girl
H-huh? What is Matsuri doing here?
Mei struggled to move but felt Matsuri start to move. Matsuri opened her eyes and looked at Mei
"Oh y-you're awake" Matsuri said
"M-matsuri? What h-happened? Why am I in the hospital?" Mei asked
"Well...you were outside and Shai attacked you" Matsuri said
"Oh...now I remember" Mei said and groaned feeling her body in pain
"Don't try to move too much. The doctor sai you should stay in bed all day. By the end of the week you should be healed but not move around a lot" Matsuri said
"B-but the Academy I have to-ugh!" Mei groaned as she tried sitting up
"Mei-san I told you to not move" Matsuri said
"But the Academy..." Mei said
"Relax Mei-san. I called Mitsuko and told her to take care of the Academy for you and she agreed" Matsuri said
"Oh...that's great. What about Yuzu? How is...she doing?" Mei asked
"I taught her a lesson for not listening to you..." Matsuri said
"Seriously?" Mei asked raising an eyebrow
"Haha just kidding but I did talk to her. I told her to fuck herself" Matsuri said
"Matsuri..." Mei said with a slight of annoyance
"Ugh fine. I explained the situation about the lies of the Tachibanas and about the reunion" Matsuri said
"Thanks Matsuri" Mei said and looked at her hand
"You can let me go now" Mei said
"Oh sorry" Matsuri said as she smiled releasing her hand
"What about you? Aren't you healed?" Mei asked
"Well yeah but I told the doctors that I wanted to stay and help you out" Matsuri said
"Hey Matsuri...when Yuzu ran away...where did she stay?" Mei asked as she looked a bit upset. Matsuri looked at her and sighed
So...what should I say? That Yuzu and Harumin sorta touched and kissed?
"Well...she stayed over at Taniguchi-senpai's place" Matsuri said
"...did something happen between them?" Mei asked
"U-uh...well...kinda" Matsuri said
"Kinda? What do you mean by that?" Mei asked
"They uh...kissed and stuff like that. When Yuzu comee to visit you can ask her if you want to know..." Matsuri said
"Okay..." Mei said
Either one of them is dead or they're both dead...ugh...I'm too tired to think about the situation. Guess I'll just wait until I recover from my injuries...
"Hey...but aren't you in love with Taniguchi-san?" Mei asked
"Yeah...but what's the point if that bitch keeps loving Yuzu-chan" Matsuri said
"She is still in love?" Mei asked
"Yeah..." Matsuri said as she looked down. Mei lifted her hand up and patted her head softly. Matsuri blushed and smiled
"I'm fine though...with my power that I told you I might not be able to find love. People would probably use me..." Matsuri said looking away
"Don't think that way..." Mei said
"Hehe...yeah whatever. So what will you do about...the thing that happened with Yuzu and Harumin?" Matsuri asked
"Stop reminding me...I rather not to think about it. I have warned that Taniguchi many times and she still hasn't listened to me" Mei said and growled
"Oh...I see. What will you do about Yuzu?" Matsuri asked
"I'm just going to talk to her. She probably thinks this is her fault..." Mei said
"But it was. If she hadn't run off like that then you wouldn't be here" Matsuri said
"It's her cousin's fault..." Mei said
"Okay yeah I understand why it's her fault but it wasostly my fault..." Matsuri said
"Hm? Your fault? How is it your fault?" Mei asked
"Well...because I knew about the situation and if I just gotten sooner you wouldn't be here now. I wasn't able to reach you in time to protect you...I'm sorry" Matsuri said as she looked down
"But you did save me in time and I appreciate it. Thanks Matsuri" Mei said as she gave her a smile trying to make her feel better. Matsuri blushed and giggled softly
"You know Mei-san when you asked me to help you I never thought you'd change and smile more...I never thought the ice cold queen would ever be able to smile" Matsuri said and laughed softly
"Are you only staying so you can avoid school?" Mei asked
"Probably..." Matsuri said and smiled innocently
"You should at least try and study while you're here doing nothing..." Mei said
"I am doing something" Matsuri said
"What are you doing?" Mei asked
"I am taking care of you" Matsuri said
"No you're not. You're just sitting there" Mei said
"I am. I am watching over you to make sure you're doing okay" Matsuri said
"Heh...well you don't have to always be looking out for me. Nothing is going to happen to me..." Mei said
"You never know..." Matsuri said
"May I come in?" Lady Liana asked as she knocked on the door
"Yes" Matsuri said. Lady Liana walked inside with the nurse who held a tray which was Mei's breakfast
"How are you feeling Aihara-san?" Lady Liana asked
"I'm feeling a bit tired and weak but I'm okay" Mei said
"Good. Tomorrow morning you'll be able to move a lot more and start walking" Lady Liana said
"That's good. Thank you ma'am for helping me" Mei said
"You're welcome Aihara-san. Now Matsuri please come with me. There is something really important that I have to tell you..." Lady Liana said
"Okay. I'll be back Mei-san" Matsuri said
"Alright" Mei said. Matsuri followed Lady Liana out of the room and into the hallway
"How are you feeling?" Lady Liana asked
"Oh well I'm doing just fine. My arm is still a bit broken but by tonight I'll be healed so...why did you call me out here? What do you want to tell me?" Matsuri asked. Lady Liana looked at her before sighing softly
"It's about your mother..." Lady Liana said. Matsuri's eyes widen and trembled
"Wh-what? My mother? What do you mean?" Matsuri asked
"Listen Matsuri...your mother...is alive" Lady Liana said. Matsuri's eyes widen and trembled hearing those words
So...all this time my mother...was alive?!
