Part 1
The Return
The first thing he felt was a throbbing pain in his chest. Then he felt that his body was surrounded in a soft texture. That seemed to hug his body.
When he tried to move he found that he couldn’t. He frowned, why couldn’t he move? And even more important, where was he?
After trying for some time to open his eyes, they slowly opened. He shut them the moment a strong light hit his eyes. He was somewhere very bright, that he was sure of now.
He decided to open his eyes again. He badly wanted to know where he was. He slowly let his eyes get used to the light. When he finally could see where he was, he sighed. He didn’t know where he was. It didn’t seem that he was in a hospital. Not only was the room huge, with two chairs standing next to a large window, the bed he was laying in was huge. If he had to be honest this was the first time that he had seen such a bed.
Also, he now noticed, nothing was white. While all hospitals he had been in where always white. That was also the reason he hated them so much. He was relieved that he wasn’t in a hospital but the question remained, where was he?
He turned his head with some difficulty and noticed for the first time the beeping noise beside him. He frowned; he wasn’t that bad, was he?
He decided to let it rest for now because when he tried to look outside all the memories came flooding back to him. When he came back to himself, he shivered, what had he done? He was proud of what he had done. But one thing kept returning to him. All the people who were standing above him when he was laying on the street, but one person stood out from the rest. Also he could remember the expression of Fei Long, it wasn’t like he had expected. The Baishe leader didn’t have a surprised expression like he had expected but a look of concern.
He sighed; he couldn’t be sure about that. Maybe it had just been his mind playing tricks on him. Maybe his mind had produced this image to set his mind at ease for what he had done. Your mind could do weird things at times you least needed it.
He sighed slowly, trying to lessen the pain he felt. The only way to find out were he currently was, was to wait until someone came to visit him. That, he realized, could take some time. Until then he decided to let his eyes rest some more.
************************************************************************
The next time he awoke, he felt that he wasn’t alone. His suspicions were confirmed when he saw a shadow appear behind his closed eyelids. He opened his eyes to see who it was. Then he came eye to eye with a very familiar face.
He blinked, to make sure that his eyes weren’t betraying him. It was Fei Long who was next to his bed. The man seemed to be waiting for something.
‘’Where am I?’’ He asked. When he spoke his voice came out quiet and hoarse. He didn’t care about that now; he just wanted to know why he was here. Maybe then he knew how to react to the man sitting beside his bed.
It took a while for the Baishe leader to answer him. ‘’You are at my house.’’ A short silence before the man continued, ‘’so how are you feeling?’’
Then he remembered the constant pain in his chest he had felt since he had woken up. The pain had been numb for awhile when he had seen Fei Long. But now that it had been mentioned the pain came back. ‘’I feel like hell.’’ He answered, and then another question popped up in his mind. ‘’How long have I been here?’’
He looked at the man, patiently waiting for an answer. ‘’A couple of days. I will send someone to take a look at you.’’ Then the man was gone.
He frowned, what the hell had just happened? Had he done or said something wrong? He sighed and shook his head; Fei Long was a person who was hard to understand sometimes. One moment everything is all right and a moment later everything had turned around. It has always been this way. But it also made him smile a little, knowing that the Baishe leader hadn’t changed that much.
He heard the door open and saw a woman entering. She walked over to him and began asking all kinds of questions regarding how he felt and his pain. When he had answered everything, she scribbled something in a document she had brought with her. Then she walked out of the room to come back a second later with what seemed to him his medicine. He hoped they were painkillers or something stronger.
Luckily he had been right. She instructed him to take two painkillers every time he woke up and then she proceeded to inject something in one of the tubes that led to his wrist.
He watched the liquid go down until it disappeared into his body. She checked everything one more time before leaving. After a short while he was getting drowsy. Probably from the stuff she had just gave him. After some time he gave up fighting the sleepiness and slowly felt into a deep slumber.
************************************************************************
The next time he awoke he instantly knew that he wasn’t alone in the room. He decided to pretend that he didn’t know that. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was dark outside. So it was probably late at night, if not past midnight.
When he looked around the room he saw a shadow sitting next to his bed. The shadow moved when he realized that he was awake.
The shadow leaned towards the small table that was standing beside his bed and grabbed something from the table. Before he could see what it was he needed to close his eyes when a small light was switched on.
He opened his eyes to see who the shadow was. He was surprised when he saw who it was. It was Fei Long. The man had been sitting in the same chair like the last time he had awoken.
The man held out his hand, letting him see that he had a painkiller in his hand. In the other hand the Baishe leader had a glass of water. He knew what the man wanted to make clear to him. He tried to sit up so that he could drink but he groaned in pain when he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He closed his eyes and willed the pain to go away. But it didn’t. He cursed, why did it have to hurt so much? Now he really started to wonder where he had been hit. Because it had hurt a lot more the last time he was hit with a bullet.
He felt the bed dip and opened his eyes to see Fei Long had come to sit at the edge of the bed. The man slowly helped him sit up by supporting him with one arm. At first the dragon was a little hesitant but when the other man noticed that he wasn’t in a terrible pain he softly asked him to open his mouth.
He did as he was told and Fei Long laid the little pill on is tongue the made him drink some water, making him able to swallow the pill. Then the same thing was done with the second painkiller.
Fei Long slowly settled him down into the soft pillows. Then the man stood up and sat down in the chair next to the bed.
He whispered a soft ‘thank you’ before closing his eyes once more. Then he remembered what he wanted to ask the Baishe leader. ‘’So where was I hit?’’ He asked in the same soft voice from before.
When it was silent for awhile he opened his eyes again to look at the man. Fei Long was staring at the opposite wall, like it had done something wrong.
‘’Just tell me, it isn’t like it can be the death of me.’’ He said after awhile. The same moment he was done talking; Fei Long had turned to lay his eyes on him.
‘’It could have been the death of you, Yoh. If you really want to know what happened after you passed out then I will tell you.’’ The man told him slowly.
He only nodded, it seemed it was worse then he had thought at first. Fei Long sighed, ‘’after you had fallen unconscious, I took out the shutter. In the mean time Asami had checked out how badly injured you were. I can tell you that you were very injured. We laid you in one of the cars and when we got here there was a group doctors ready to take you in surgery.’’
The man stopped for a couple of second before continuing, ‘’it took them a couple of hour to stabilize you and to remove the bullet. After that you kept bleeding and it took some more time to stop all the bleeding. Nobody was even sure that you were going to make it. You had lost too much blood.’’
‘’Also you have been very lucky. The bullet went through your chest; it barely missed your heart and lungs. Your ribs couldn’t stop the bullet but could prevent the bullet from hitting your heart.’’ Fei Long stopped and looked at him.
‘’You scared the shit out of Akihito. Not only by appearing so suddenly while he thought you had been dead for some time but also because you almost died.’’ The man continued, still looking at him.
He looked away from those eyes. Then he wondered had Akihito been the only one who had been scared of him dying?
So he had barely escaped death, huh? He sighed; maybe it had been better if he had died. It didn’t seem like many people cared about what had happened to him. He moved his hand to his chest, tracing the bandage that was wrapped around his chest. When is hand arrived at his heart, he felt a stinging pain.
He winced, he closed his eyes again. He was breathing harder it seemed like it would be a long time before he could even sit up normally without any help.
Then a soft hand took his and placed it on his side. He opened his eyes to see an expression on Fei Longs face he had never seen before. The man let go of his hand when it was far away from his wound. ‘’Don’t do that, it will only hurt more if you touch it.’’ Fei Long said while looking at his chest.
He just nodded still too surprised to react vocally. What had just happened? He looked at the man sitting beside his bed and decided that he wouldn’t or rather couldn’t try to find an answer to that question now.
‘’So where are Akihito and Asami-sama?’’ He slowly asked. He hadn’t forgotten what the man had just told him.
Fei Long seemed to get out of his stare, which was till directed at his wound and quickly looked at him before averting his eyes. ‘’After it seemed that you were going to make it, they went back home. But Akihito insisted that when you were better that they would come to visit you.’’ The man answered, ending with a smirk.
He chuckled softly and shook his head. What else had he expected from the boy? It seemed that once Akihito cared about someone he was going to take care of you in his own way.
Then he realized something else and his face fell. If they were coming back to visit him then Asami would be there too. That meant that he had a lot to prepare.
He knew that he not only had a lot to explain to Fei Long but also to Asami. If he wanted it or not, Asami would get the answers he wanted. The Japanese man always did. But maybe not from one person.
Fei Long had seen the change in his thoughts and interrupted them. ‘’Don’t think I am done with you, Yoh. I have a lot of questions for you too. But first you need to rest a little more.’’ The man finished, after he was done he grabbed the abandoned book that had been lying all this time on his lap and started reading again.
He frowned, so it hadn’t been a coincidence that Fei Long was there when he woke up. It seemed that the man was guarding him or something like that.
He decided to let it rest for now; he had other things to worry about then finding out why the man behaved so odd.
Before he fell asleep again he remembered that the man still hadn’t said anything about his last words before he had passed out. Then he guessed that maybe the man hadn’t heard them at all and had he just imagined saying them.
