Nightmares and Sickness
Chapter Eleven
Antidote?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryo had been driving as fast as he could to the hospital with what he hoped was the antidote.
He had finally gotten to the hospital and rushed in. When he got in he saw the troopers, they all looked grievous and Touma looked as though he were about to cry.
'Oh no...' Ryo thought. He went closer; they still hadn't noticed him.
"Is... is he..." He couldn't bring himself to ask the question.
The others looked up when they heard his voice, noticing him for the first time. "Ryo!" They all shouted excitedly.
"Hey, I got the antidote or what I think is." He thought they would be excited but they all fell silent again.
"What is it?! What happened? Is he-"
"He awoke from a nightmare and he stopped breathing. They kicked us out of the room since we were in the way and they are trying to revive him. We don't know if he's alright or not. They haven't told us anything yet." Shin explained.
"It's only been a couple minutes so far but it seems like forever." Touma mumbled worried for Seiji. 'He can't die! I can't live without him!' Touma thought despairingly.
Ryo looked over at Touma, who looked like he was about to break down any second. He went over to him and gave him a hug, which he looked like he desperately needed. "It's alright, Touma. Seiji's strong." Ryo tried to reassure him.
Then a doctor came up to them. "How is he?!" They all asked about Seiji.
"Well, we did get his heartbeat back but we don't know how much longer his body can fight against the poison."
"Oh," Ryo reached into his pocket and brought out the vial. He handed it to the doctor. "I think this is the antidote."
"Ah, you must be the friend they were talking about." He gave Ryo a smile. Then he looked at the vial. "Are you sure this is it?"
"Well, I guess I can't be sure but this was the only thing that looked even close to a cure or medicine for that matter." Ryo said with regret. He wished he did know for sure. He didn't want to risk Seiji's health anymore but what choice did they really have?
The doctor nodded. "I'll run a few tests."
"Can we go see Seiji?" Ryo asked. He hadn't seen him since they were at the house and wanted to see for himself how he looked.
"Hai, but be quiet."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ryo was surprised when he actually saw Seiji. He didn't think that he'd be that much worse than when he had left him but he was. He was very pale and sweaty. Ryo put his hand on Seiji's forhead only to pull it back quickly, it felt like he was on fire. Every once in a while Seiji would mutter something that no one could understand, when they did hear something it wouldn't make any sense. Some of it was about the dynasty; he believed that they were still fighting them or some of them. The blonde was also shivering even though he was hot to the touch.
"I should have gotten here quicker." Ryo said blaming himself.
Shuu placed a hand on Ryo's shoulder, comfortingly. "You couldn't have and it's not your fault. The only person that's at fault is Tomo." He clenched his fist in anger. "If he wasn't dead already I'd kill him myself."
"...Tou... ma." Came a weak call next to them, surprising them all. They almost hadn't heard it.
Touma went to Seiji's side grabbing his hand again. "I'm right here, Seiji. It's alright."
"Touma.... don't leave. Please.. don't leave me. I... need you." Seiji pleaded.
Touma squeezed Seiji's hand in reassurance. "I'm right here, Seiji. I always will be." No one knew of his long-time crush on the blonde but he really didn't care about showing his feelings now. Seiji needed him too much.
Shin was saddened by this scene, not only was Seiji in a lot of pain but it was obvious that Touma had feelings for the blonde swordsman. It must be really hard on Touma. He really hoped Seiji would make it through, if not, they'd probably be losing not only Seiji but Touma as well. As much as he didn't want to even think about Seiji not making it he knew deep down that there was that possibility.
"Tou... ma." Seiji opened his eyes and looked at the archer. For the first time since Ryo had seem him, his eyes were pretty clear, they still held pain though. Seiji screamed in pain, showing that what they saw was no illusion.
Touma could no longer hold back his tears and let them fall. It was depressing watching Seiji be in such pain and not being able to do anything to stop it. "Seiji, you have to make it through this. I know you can." He put his other hand around Seiji's hand, along with his and brought them up to his face. The troopers all came next to him, giving him their support.
The archer didn't cry long since he still hadn't given up hope on Seiji. It just hurt him seeing the blonde in so much pain.
The door opened and they all looked over. The doctor had finally returned.
"Is it the antidote?" Touma couldn't help but be hopeful.
"Well, as far as we can tell it is some type of medicine. As for curing Date-san, we're not exactly sure. For some reason we couldn't test it correctly to tell if it was the right antidote." He gave a heavy sigh. "It's up to you guys whether we use it or not. Keep in mind that we don't know exactly what'll happen." He headed towards the door. "I'll leave you to think about it. I'll come back in about 15 minutes." The troopers nodded.
"Well...?" Shuu started, after the doctor left.
"I think that it should be up to Seiji." Shin stated.
"I agree but I don't think he's with us enough to even understand anything we're saying." Touma said reasonably.
"We could always try. He seemed like he knew what was going on when he looked at you not too long ago. Why don't you try?" Ryo said talking to Touma.
"I guess. I mean it can't hurt anything and it would be better if we asked him." Touma said, sitting back down next to Seiji and taking his hand again. "Seiji." The archer said softly hoping it would get the blonde's attention. To their surprise Seiji actually opened his eyes and they didn't look as glazed over as before. "I'm sorry that I had to disturb you but we neeed to ask you something important." Touma started.
The blonde swordsman didn't answer but Touma continued on anyway. "We found something that looks like it might be the antidote. We're not exactly sure though and don't know what it will cause if we use it." He paused letting Seiji take it all in. He hoped that he could understand what he was saying. It looked like he did, but you can never be too sure.
"Do you want to try it? It's up to you."
Seiji slowly blinked; then closed his eyes. At first Touma, along with the others thought he had fallen asleep. Seiji tensed and gasped in pain, showing that he hadn't. After a moment he slowly opened his eyes, eyes that were filled with pain.
"Hai." The swordsman said in a weak, quiet voice.
"Yes, that you want to try it?" Touma had to be sure.
Seiji nodded back. He just wanted to stop the pain coursing through his body.
"Are you sure?"
Seiji nodded again.
Touma was relieved that Seiji had actually been able to answer for himself. If he had to make the decision and if it was the wrong one, he would have never forgiven himself.
Seiji gasped in pain again. He tried to hold it back but couldn't.
The door opened and the doctor came in. "You're awake, Date-san." He said with a smile. "How are you feeling?"
"Alright." It was an obvious lie but no one said anything.
"Did they talk to you about the possible antidote?"
"Hai, I'll try it."
"Okay. We should do it as soon as we can."
They all agreed with that.
"Before you do, can I talk to Seiji alone?" Touma asked everyone.
Everyone but Shin was confused as to why but left anyway.
"Gomen Seiji. I know you're going through a lot of pain but this is important and it can't wait any longer." Touma paused, taking a deep breath.
Seiji just starred up confused at him.
"I won't take long because I don't like seeing you in pain." Touma leaned over and kissed Seiji. At first the blonde was shocked but then he kissed Touma back.
The archer knew that it was a big risk, especially since Seiji was about to take one himself but he needed to do it. He had wanted Seiji for too long and had to tell him.
Touma thought it was a mistake at first when he felt Seiji tense but soon he relaxed into the kiss and actually kissed him back.
Seiji couldn't help but moan in protest when Touma pulled back. "Aishiteru, Seiji. I should have told you before but I was too afraid." Seiji's normally calm exterior broke as he couldn't help but be shocked. He couldn't get his mouth to work at first but he finally said, "Touma, I love you too." Seiji smiled, one that lit up his eyes as well.
Touma smiled back glad that he was able to make Seiji smile again, he hadn't smiled in so long. Not only that but he finally told Seiji how he felt and he returned the feelings!
While he was looking at Seiji he was reminded of the pain Seiji was in by how he looked. It looked as though he had gotten worse. Their moment was ruined when Seiji arched his back and screamed in agony.
"Seiji!" Touma yelled in horror.
The troopers and the doctor, who had been talking about the treatment and some other things that were needed, came rushing into the room. They had been outside of the door so heard Seiji's scream and Touma yelling his name.
"We need to give him the antidote now!" Touma said near tears. 'He can't die, especially since we just told each how we feel!'
The doctor quickly pulled the vial out of his pocket. He had grabbed in before he came in get their answer, just incase. He picked up a needle, filled it with the medicine and gave it to Seiji.
The bearer of Korin stopped moving around as soon as it was given to him. Before he had been writhing in pain, which had gotten a lot worse. The doctor checked his pulse....
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
