Chapter 27

'' Husband?''  Danuja said almost certain that she was still unconscious. She was in a girly looking room, Dad was in said room and it looked like he was here for some time already and there was a motherly looking woman that apparently was Mr. Touma wife and took care of her.

'' Oh yes.''  the woman said smiling lovingly  '' Tooru brough you here almost two days ago, looking pale as a sheet. Truthfully I wanted to bring you right at the hospital but apparently being a nurse was enough for him and that's where we are.''  she said rolling her eyes before checking the IV bag 

Tooru?  Danuja though  Must be Mr. Touma first  name. Wait. Two days?!

'' Two days?!''  Danuja repeated  '' I-I'm sure I wasn't beaten that hard.'' she said nervously, Dad coming closer tucking his head on her belly

'' Beside that.'' the woman said for a moment looking angry before smoothing her features  '' You were dehydrated, not enough iron in your blood and let's not even talk that there is not enough fat on you to partake in my husband training in the first place.''

'' I see.'' Danuja said a little embarrassed by her eating habits or lack therefore before a chill got on her spine making her tense up with realization  '' It's Wednesday.'' she said a flash of concerned amethyst eyes in her mind  '' I need to go.''

Danuja said getting up or at last trying to from her trembling legs. Dad whined concerned pushing her back and Mr. Touma wife hovered over her to lean back.

'' Don't even thing about that young man!''  she said sternly  '' You are in no condition to go outside or even out of this bed for that matter. Remain seated and I bring Tooru to calm you down alright?''  she said not even fazed by Danuja growling before getting out of the room

Fuck. It's Wednesday. I need to go back to Kana    she though trying to get up with no luck. Danuja sighed heavily, hand laying on Dad neck patting him absently.

'' Wait.''  she said frowning  '' How are you here?''  she asked Dad getting a wet tongue on her cheek as response

---

''  When were you going to tell me that you are basically starving yourself?''  Mr. Touma said as a greeting making Danuja grit her teeth. She was a little too stressed with the fact she wasn't keeping her promise towards Kana then the fact Mr. Touma found out she was a little more than poor.

'' I need to go back to school.''  she said instead narrowing her eyes when he leaned forward, not even twitching at Dad growl

'' What you need is food and rest. Because if I would had even a hint of you malnourishing yourself in order to feed this animal, there wouldn't even be talk about you fighting.  ''

'' Bite your tongue.'' Danuja growled right back  '' That's my family you are talking about.''

'' Family doesn't starve you.''  he said eyes narrowing further at her when Danuja smirked 

'' It doesn't abandon you either.'' she spatted at him 

For a couple of seconds the tension in the room was suffocating before Mr. Touma sighed, almost deflating putting his head in his hands.

'' I never though that my door would be ripped off by a dog of all things.''  he said fingers interlocked under his chin

'' That's what he did?'' Danuja said surprised, anger simmering down, in it's place proudness

'' Come in front of the gym the next morning at the crack of dawn. Found him chewing my door then he invited himself in my house, scared the shit out of my son and the next thing I know he was on this bed curled, asleep beside you.''  he snorted looking at the shaggy dog  '' Craziest thing in my life.''

'' I get it from him.''  Danuja smirked, beginning to scratch Dad thoroughly, not forgetting about her goal  '' So about school-''

'' Forget about it. First of all, school it's already over, it's close to night actually and second of all-''

Whatever Mr. Touma said was muffled for Danuja ears because the only thing she could thing about was that she didn't keep her promise of returning. And yes, for some people this would look as a dumb thing to worry about after all, missing just another day wouldn't hurt.

But for Danuja it wasn't about missing another day, it was about breaking her promise to Kana. Because if Kana didn't thing she was serios and worthy of her than how could Danuja keep that silver haired precious girl by her side?

''- my wife, Hinata, will brink you dinner and another IV I think. You can begin getting up tomorrow but don't even think about training.''  he said getting up before scratching her nape a little awkwardly  '' I don't know your situation but I can take a guess Danuja, and if going to school it's that important than tomorrow, when lunch break begins, I think you are smart enough to get in by yourself.''  he said smirking before leaving Danuja in that room, with Dad snuggled beside her

After eating the light dinner Mrs. Touma give her and promise that she will eat the snacks she brough before falling asleep, in the dead of the night, Danuja get up and begin walking with trembling legs.

She know that what Mr. Touma said was important but somehow, Danuja had the feeling that if she stopped her body up she will not get up again. It was a stupid thing to think of and she faulted it on that kind, motherly woman that eat beside her and give her a homecooked meal.

Danuja will get out of this house tomorrow, she will return to Kana looking strong and beat enough to be patch up with soft hand caressing her face and if needed she will even bow down in front of her for forgiveness even.

'' She makes me a little dumb Dad.'' Danuja said leaning on him walking around the room  '' Isn't it funny though?'' she said smiling picturing Kana in front of her

She misses her soft eyes and hands, the crunch of those candies and her voice calming her down. The routine, their routine that become like a small bubble in their own world.

Danuja didn't quite realize that this was the first time she misses someone.
