A/N: My apologies for the last chapter. ahaha. This one is a smidge less angsty.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
Is this a dream?
Then I want to wake up.
Get me away from this pain.
Stop this.
Stop it.
Please.
Please please please!
You awoke with a gasp. The blinding white lights and the smell told you that you were in the hospital.
Turning your head to the side, you waited until your eyes adjusted.
"Mom?"
"Oh, honey! You're awake!"
"What happened?"
"Ei took you to the hospital. She told me what happened. It's been two days! You could have gotten seriously hurt! What were you thinking?" You could see the exhaustion and worry on her face.
"I'm sorry. I just- OW!" The throbbing pain had returned when you tried to sit up.
"Don't sit up. You'll tear your stitches. I'll call the doctor over." You mom stood up and left the room.
You lifted your arm. It was wrapped in a bandage. You slid your uninjured arm to where you had felt the knife pierce you before you fell unconscious.
"Owww. Ugh it hurts so bad."
"Miss Y/N correct?" (Doctor)
"Yes." (You)
"Thankfully, the knife didn't pierce anything vital. It will leave a scar, but it should heal. We stitched it up and it should be fine as long as it doesn't tear. You can come back to get your stitches removed in a week. You're free to leave now. Just no strenuous exercise alright? And those situations can be very traumatic, so make sure to talk to someone about it if you can." (Doctor)
"Alright." (You)
An hour later, you were at home in your room.
"Mom?" (You)
"Yes?"
"Did anyone visit me?"
"Xiao. Your dad. And Ei. She's really nice. I could tell she felt guilty."
"Oh. Alright. Can you leave now? I want some time to process."
"Of course. Call if you need me."
"Mhm." You reached over to grab your phone. Most of the messages were from people who just thought you had fallen or something. You skimmed through the groupchat.
Wishing me well.
Swearing at Raiden Shogun.
Wondering what happened.
Is that it?
How about Kuni?
None?
I wonder what happened.
You called Kuni.
"Ring. Ring. Ring."
"Ugh. Why isn't he picking up? I better call Ei."
"Hello?" (Ei)
"Ei! What happened after I blacked out? I saw you tackling-"
"Let's not talk about the tackle. Anyways I managed to subdue her and I called the police."
"Huh."
"Are you alright? The wound looked pretty deep."
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"Alright then. Raiden was arrested and the trial will probably go well."
"That's great! By the way, how's Kuni? I tried calling him and he didn't pick up."
"Ah. He's fine. I think he's just in shock about everything. I'm also really sorry I didn't step in sooner."
"I understand. She's your daughter and it pains you to harm her."
"Even so, I should have stepped in before she..."
"I'm really fine. Don't worry."
"Alright then. I have to go now."
"Okay."
You sighed.
Is he really alright?
But I can't get up and go check...
He's been through worse.
I'll ask Kazuha or someone later.
"Mom!"
"Yeah?"
"Can you bring me my school stuff?"
"Sure!"
A while later, you were sitting at your desk (after a lot of struggle) and working on your school work (after a lot of searching).
"Ugh. Finals are coming up, but I missed wayyyy too much school. And I have to miss even more!" You sighed.
Work work and more work.
I'm soooo bored.
Ugh.
What time is it?
Everyone's in school right now.....
Oh. Hu tao usually has her phone. Let me text her.

Coffin Lady
I don't think he was.
Also say something in the groupchat!
Everyone's worried about you!
You
Oh.
I will soon.
Thks
---------------------------
You sent a message in the groupchat and sighed.
"He isn't at school either... Then why did he ignore my call? Let me call him again."
You sat and waited for him to pick up.
"This caller has blocked you."
"What the fu##. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GUY???!!! IS HE NOT WORRIED ABOUT ME? AND WHY TF DID HE BLOCK ME?????"
You quickly created a groupchat with Kuni and this random person that you knew never checked their phone.
---------------------------------
I need to talk to Scaramouche other person just ignore this

I just wanted to see if you were okay!
Kuni

[Yes] [No]
---------------------------------
"Ha. This reminds me of that incident. Are we really going to do that all over again? How'd we even make up that time?"
Hmmm now that I think about it....
We didn't. He just... contacted me after I met Raiden and asked to meet up.
"But I guess I naturally forgave him."
You sighed and leaned back in your chair, then yelped when your injury throbbed to remind you that you were still recovering.
"I hate being injured."
You sighed and got back to work.
A/N: Short chapter today. I'm going camping for 3 days so I won't post until around tuesday/wednesday. Hope you enjoyed!
