The Tsukiyama House: Welcome!

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

The bird flew faster and it didn't take us long to get to the hospital. I jumped down and landed with a light thud.
"I caught up!" I exclaimed.
"Now let me help! I want to help, he is my friend too." I said, stamping my foot.

Saeko smiled and nodded. She sipped on her tea slowly.
"Shizuke's mother makes the best kind of tea." she said as she set the tea cup down to move her foot a bit.
"If you want any tea bags just ask Shizuke, she'll give you as many as you want, since her mother has a bunch of tea plants outside."

[Ichi Kasuke]

"I know he is your friend too." Katsu said. He walked over to the woman sitting behind the counter. "I need my friend here to be checked up on by a doctor." He said. She gave Katsu a piece of paper and he took it. He put Tetsuya in a chair and he signed Tetsuya's name since he didn't want to wake him up. He gave the paper back to her and sat down in the chair next to Tetsuya.

"I'll probably take a couple since I like drinking tea. So Shizuke gets homemade tea basically. That's pretty cool." Ichi said.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I sat down on the ground by Tetsuya, waiting patiently, but fidgity.
"Oh I hope they can help Tetsuya." I said.
"I really hope someone can help him, I don't think he'd have a very enjoyable life at the rate he's going." I looked down at my lap.

Saeko nodded.
"I'm not sure where she is, but when I see her I'll tell her." Saeko said.
"She won't mind if you take a couple, she'll probably let you take more and then just get her mother to make more tea bags." Saeko smiled.

[Ichi Kasuke]

"I hope he will be okay too. He tries to make his life the best he can, but its hard since he kills too mane people..." Katsu said sadly. "I'm basically the only person he could turn to when his life was troubling him...I just want him to be a normal kid like he was before he found that scythe..." He said and started crying. Tetsuya was his best friend, and he wanted him to be normal again.

Ichi smiled. "Thank you." He said. He took another sip of the tea. "I'll wait when the moment is right." He thought quietly.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I took out a cloth and wipped at Katsu's eyes.
"Oh please don't cry!" I exclaimed.
"He didn't kill me, or Yukio, or even Saeko for that matter." I said.
"Maybe he's getting better on his own, maybe not killing me or my friends is some sort of sign that he's a bit better." I said.

Saeko took another sip of her tea and looked at Ichi, a small smile on her face. She put her tea cup down on the table and hopped over to Ichi.
"Ichi-kun, would you mind help me?" she asked.

[Ichi Kasuke]

Katsu wipped the rest of his tears in his eyes. "Maybe...he's not what you think when he's not around us. He's always lonely since people stay away from him." He said. "Tetsuya Kazihero?" A nurse said. Katsu picked up Tetsuya from his chair and started walking towards her. "Come on Shizuke." He said.

"No, I don't mind." Ichi said and smiled. He jumped down from the counter and helped her get up on the counter. He jumped up on the counter next to her. He looked at her and smiled.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I jumped and hurried after Katsu.
"But, maybe now that he's made some more friends, maybe he won't kill as many people." I said.
"Maybe, just maybe. Maybe he just needed people to accept him for who he is, regardless of his killing." I said, keeping close to Katsu and Tetsuya. I swallowed as I looked at Tetsuya.

Saeko laughed and jumped down.
"No, no." she said.
"I didn't finish." she smiled.
"I need help getting my crutches from my room, my leg is beginning to hurt from all this hopping." she said as she leaned on the counter.

[Ichi Kasuke]

"Maybe, but I don't think so. I don't want to tell you what he wants to do...but I know he's sad whenever he kills anyone." Katsu said. The nurse directed them into a room. "The doctor will be here shortly." She said and bowed, then closed the door. He set Tetsuya down on the bed thing and leaned on the wall. He looked at Tetsuya sleep. "I wonder what he's dreaming about." He said.

"Ohhh...sorry." Ichi said and laughed. He jumped off the counter and ran towards the stairs. He ran up the stairs and went into her room and grabbed the crutches. He walked down the stairs and towards Saeko. "Here you go." He said and handed her the crutches.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I swallowed and sat down in a chair by Tetsuya.
"He must've been happy thought that he didn't kill me." I said, looking over at Katsu.
"Is he even happy when he doesn't kill anyone? Do you think he was happy that he made some new friends?" I asked. I was just so curious, yet I felt bad that Tetsuya was who he was.

Saeko took the crutches and smiled. She put them off to the side so she could hug Ichi tightly. She looked up at him and kissed his cheek.
"Thank you." she said with a smile.

[Ichi Kasuke]

"He was probably thinking of his little sister..." Katsu said. "He always tries to last a day without killing someone...and yeah he's happy to meet new friends. He never kills anyone he knows." He said. He still looked at Tetsuya. "I'll tell you anything you want about him except one thing." He said.

Ichi hugged her when she hugged him tightly. He smiled when she kissed him on his cheek. "You're welcome." He said with a smile.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I swallowed and looked back at Tetsuya. I felt really bad.
"What thing?" I asked.
"You don't have to tell me what it is, I want to know what it is in general, does it have to do with him, is it a fear, or a weakness, that kind of thing." I said, looking over at Katsu.
"But, I think I'll wait until Tetsuya is up to ask him about himself. I want to hear who he is from him."

Saeko grabbed the crutches and walked around a bit.
"That's much better." she said.
"I owe you."

[Ichi Kasuke]

Tetsuya opened his eyes a bit and he didn't know where he was. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Why am I in a hospital...?" He said. He looked around and saw Katsu and Shizuke. "Hi Katsu and Shizuke." He said. He was tired since Katsu made him fall asleep.
Katsu was suprised that Tetsuya already woke up. "Tetsuya...we only brought you here since were going to run tests on you for you're rages..." He said.

"How many times to you owe me?" Ichi asked and laughed. "You don't have to owe me for this one." He said.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I felt a couple tears run down my cheeks.
"Hi Tetsuya!" I exclaimed as I jumped up and hugged Tetsuya.
"Oh I'm so glad you're awake!" I exclaimed happily. I was very happy, when Tetsuya was asleep I was worried, very worried.

Saeko chuckled.
"I owe you for everything." she said as she walked over, her fractured leg up, with no pressure on it.
"I owe you for helping me get back what I lost, I owe you for catching me. I owe you for helping me and being so kind, and I owe you, for, being my friend."

[Ichi Kasuke]

Tetsuya was suprised that she was excited to see him. He hugged her back when she hugged him. He let go of her and he sighed. "I feel happier...I think because that scythe is gone." He said. He even sounded happier.
"What did I even do...? All I did was heal his arm and his...why am I such an idoit!" Katsu thought. "Wow...I'm such an idoit...I could of healed Tetsuya this whole time but I never knew how." He said. He felt like a total idoit right now.

Ichi was suprised how many things she owed him. "Wow...thats a lot..." He said. "But you've already owed me once for being my friend too." He said.

[Shizuke Tsukiyama]

I continued to hug Tetsuya.
"Oh that is wonderful!" I exclaimed happily.
"I am so glad that you are happier! You looked so upset before, but now, oh you sound wonderful!" I was just too excited. I pulled out a piece of chocolate from the larger chocolate chunk in my pocket and offered it to him.
"Here." I said.

Saeko smiled at Ichi.
"Fine, I still owe you for everything else though." she laughed. Then she looked down, almost sadly.
"If I hadn't have hurt my leg, I'd be hugging you so much right now." she said with a meek smile.
