I hear Akane shriek.

"Akane?" I turn to her. She looked fine...

"Akane what's wrong?" I was going to check her face, so I reach out to hold both of her arms.

"Ow! Don't touch me there!" Akane steps away from me and turns around-- there was blood oozing out of her right arm.

No...

"Akane!" I gently turn her body so her injured arm was facing me. There was a piece of glass, about the size of a toddler's hand, was wedged deeply in her skin. How could this have happened?

"Hikaru! Or Kaoru! Whoever you are, take her to the clinic and treat her immediately!" She says. "Nobody else move!"

"Yes ma'am!" I carry Akane bridal style in order to avoid getting Akane another cut, and dash to the infirmary.

I set her down on the bed and grab the first-aid kit. I open it up put on latex-free gloves.

"Akane, relax your arm. I'm going to get the glass out."

"It burns, it really, really burns Kaoru, hurry!" She winces. I apply firm, rubbing pressure around the glass and it starts to make its way to the surface.

"Ow, ow..."

"Shh, it's okay." The glass was almost out. I grab the tweezers.

"Akane, this is going to hurt." I say, hoping it wouldn't.

"Do it already..." She bites her lip.

"Okay..." I use the tweezers and take hold of the glass.

"I'm sorry." I whisper before I started. I breathed in and pulled out the glass as quickly and carefully as I could and Akane screams. The anguished, whimpering cry cut through me as sure as the glass had to Akane.

I exhale and un-cap the healing ointment bottle and apply some to the wound.

"Uh..." Akane moans in pain.

"I'm so sorry." I say quietly, wrapping bandages around her wound.

"It's okay, you got it out." Akane tried to breathe normally. Once I finished wrapping her arm, I pack up the first-aid kit and put it back where I found it. I sat beside Akane and she leans on my shoulder. I kiss her forehead,

"Okay?" I murmur.

"Mm."
