~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was something that no one had thought could have happened. Especially to the woman they all loved so much. Seeing her in the hospital with all those tubes and a respirator to keep her breathing was taking its toll on them all. But no one as much as the two people closest to her. Her daughter and the man she had loved since childhood. Serena Tsukino was in the hospital bed of Tokyo Memorial Hospital thinking. She knew her condition wouldn't let her live long, that was something she had no delusions about. The crash had taken her husband from her and it would, in time, take her. The main thing that was on her mind was her sixteen year old daughter. She had a special bond between her and her only child since her birth and not only because she was a girl. It was like her daughter was the reincarnation of everything right in Serena's life and everything that was supposed to be right. It grieved her deeply that she wouldn't live to see her daughter grow into womanhood and have children of her own. That she would never see her in her prom dress or get married. Serena's thoughts were interrupted by the passing of a medical cart outside the private room's door. Laying in the tiny bed with no room to move was getting on her nerves. She loved to move around in bed, freedom to lay as she pleased and this bed wasn't allowing her that comfort. If she even turned a little she would bump into the hard, cold metal handles that were on either side of the bed. With the time she had left she wished to go home. But would those idiot doctors listen to her? Oh, no. You must stay at the hospital, Mrs. Kou. You are seriously hurt and any movement from the hospital would prove fatal. She had recalled those exact words from the doctor in charge of her. You would think that since she was in charge of herself she would know what was best for herself. She would just have to wait until someone reasonable would enter the room. Like Amy, Serena thought. Amy would get that moron doctor to listen. If only he would show up, all this waiting would! be over and she could rest easy knowing that her only child had a healthy home.
Waiting outside the hospital, pacing up and down the main entrance like a big cat, Amy Anderson Kou looked at the gold feminine watch on her left hand again. The seventh time in two minutes. Wondering again where he was, she continued her pacing. She knew it was useless to be pacing but somehow it kept her from breaking down. She was losing her best friend and there wasn't a damn thing she could do, even if she was a doctor. She still remembered when she had gotten the call.
~~~Flashback~~~
RING!!!! RING!!! Turning over in bed, using his left hand to turn on the bedside table lamp, Taiki Kou picked up the cordless phone from it's holder and mumbled into it. "Hell...Hello?" he said, yawning. "Is this Dr. Kou?" the voice at the other end of the line said. "No, this is her husband. If it's an emergency call another doctor, she's on vacation." he said, glancing at the other side of him where his wife was peacefully sleeping. "No, no. This is about Dr. Kou's friend, Mrs. Seiya Kou." Fully awake now because of the name of his brother's wife. Taiki reached over and gently shook Amy. "Serena?" he asked and covered the talk-into piece of the phone, "Amy, get up. Someone is on the phone about Serena." Amy sat up, still half asleep and glanced at the clock on the television across from the bed. "It's two in the morning and Serena is in Los Angeles." Amy said, using her right hand to cover her yawn. "Mr. Kou? Are you there?" the voice said. "Yes." "Mrs. Seiya Kou, Serena, is at Tokyo Memorial Hospital with serious internal injuries. She was in a plane crash about an hour ago with Mr. Seiya Kou, her husband." Shocked, Taiki looked at Amy, who glanced at him with concern at his expression. "And Seiya?" he whispered, fearing he already knew. "I'm afraid that Mr. Seiya Kou died in the crash. I am very sorry. But his wife is out of surgery and asking for your wife." Swallowing hard, Taiki looked at Amy. "We'll be there in a half an hour." "Thank you." Taiki hung up the phone and Amy feared the worst. "Seiya and Serena were in a plane crash an hour ago." "OH, MY GOD. Are they alright?" "Serena just got out of surgery and Seiya......" Taiki looked away and got up. "Seiya?" Amy asked, pushing the covers from her legs and standing. "He's .....dead." "Taiki..." Amy went to her husband and hugged him as her own tears ran down her face. He held her, still letting the news sink in that his brother was dead. That he'd never hear his voice again or argue with him about Yaten. "We better get dressed and get down there." Taiki said, clearing his voice. "Right," Amy pulled on a pair of jeans and exchanged her shirt pajama for a blue t-shirt and slipped on sandals. Taiki came out of the bathroom with a sad look on his handsome face and Amy felt pained. "Do you think we should get Amanda up?" Taiki asked as he put his wallet in the back pocket of his pants. "I totally forgot about Amanda. What am I going to tell her? And what about Skylar? She's at camp with Melanie in Washington. She probably doesn't even know that her parents....that her dad is...." Amy said panicking. "Amy, Amy," Taiki said and Amy closed her eyes, "We'll call over to Yaten's in the car. I'm sure that Yaten will call Mina in Washington and get to Skylar." "Alright." Amy looked at him and brushed a tear away. "Now go write Amanda a note and leave it next to her bed, no sense in waking her up when she just got back yesterday and needs her sleep." "I just feel guilty about this, she has a right to know now." "And we need to get to the hospital." Amy wrote a quick note and opened the door to Amanda's room. Her only child was sound asleep, her back to her mother. Amy set the note on Amanda's dresser and kissed Amanda's forehead. Taiki and Amy got in Amy's Explorer and drove to the hospital, with Taiki driving and Amy called Yaten's.
When they got to the hospital, Amy ran to the recovery units and looked at the nurse behind the counter. "Where is Serena Kou?" Amy asked. "Are you family or friend?" "Both. Now where is she?" Amy demanded, getting impatient. "She's in 345. But you can't go in there..." the nurse found herself talking to the back of Amy's retreating head. Amy found the room and almost collapsed. Laying in the small hospital bed was Serena. But didn't look a thing like the Serena that Amy knew. The woman in the bed was pale and lifeless. In her arm was an IV and a respirator was hooked up to her nose. Her legs were hidden under the blanket and her head was covered in a white bandage. The right side of her face was black and blue and Amy could see the marks of the surgery around Serena's neck and head. "Serena? Serena, it's Amy." Amy said coming to the bed feeling like her world had been turned cruelly around. "Amy?" Serena said, her voice barely a whisper. "Oh, Serena." "Where....where is Seiya?" Realizing that no one had told Serena about Seiya's death, Amy closed her eyes that were filling with tears. She held her friend's hand. "Seiya died in the accident, Serena." "He's dead?" "I'm so terribly sorry, Serena." Serena seemed to understand and her own blue eyes overflowed with tears. "Has anyone..." Serena winced as pain shot through her body as she tried to move, "called Sky?" "I called Yaten and he said he would call Mina and the girls." "G....Good." "Rest, Serena." Amy noticed that she was already falling asleep. Amy went outside to the main hall to find Taiki with a doctor. "So? There is nothing we can do?" Taiki said in anguish. "I am sorry, Mr. Kou but she is too badly hurt for anything more. If we open her up she'll die. If she's moved she will die. The accident did too much damage to her head and internal organs for us to help. We fixed what we could but her organs are in too much distress and it is only a matter of time before she dies." Amy heard that and stopped. No. No, it wasn't possible. That her best friend since junior high was dying and there wasn't a thing that they could do. She didn't believe it. Serena had too much to live for to die. "I don't believe you." Amy said quietly. Both men looked at her. "Amy, honey.." Taiki began. "No, I DO NOT believe you. How can there be nothing you can do? Don't you realize what she means to us? What she means to her family? What are you going to tell her daughter? First she loses her father and now her mother? What are you going to tell her? What? That your sorry but she has to live the rest of her life without either parent because you could do NOTHING?" Amy was shouting and Taiki knew she was at the end of her rope. "Amy...." "Don't, Taiki. Just don't, okay?" Amy said and turned on her heel back to Serena's room. When Yaten arrived with Lita, Ken, Raye, and Chad they all looked at Taiki. Finally Lita and Raye went into the room where Serena was, with Amy sitting next to the bed. "Ames." Lita said and looked at Serena with misery on her face. "I'm so glad you guys are here." Amy said and Raye was taken back at the saddest look she had ever seen on that was on Amy's face. The Amy Raye knew was so together and calm that this Amy was almost foreign to her. Lita hugged her and Raye looked at Serena. She had always loved Serena. Even though they argued and fought like cats and dogs. Serena was like a sister. "How is she?" Raye asked, not bothering to look at the two of them. "She doesn't have much time. The only thing that's kept her alive is the fact that Mina's on her way here with Melanie and Skylar." Amy said. "She was always so stubborn." Raye said with a sad smile. "I heard that, pyro." Serena's voice said quietly. "Finally awake, eh, meatball head?" Raye said with a genuine smile. "I'm....glad that you are here." Serena said and Lita smiled at her. "Like we wouldn't be? We are always here for you, Serena." Lita said. "Always." Raye added. "Good, I want you to do me a favor." "Anything." they all said. "Get Darien." Serena said and they looked at her with shock clear on their faces.
