"Alright now, you can go. I have completed the discharge papers and she should be alright thanks to the Preliminary treatments." Dr. Ranvir said while handing them a few sheets of paper.

"Thank you Ranvir. We won't forget this this. You can come by our place anytime." Accepting it, Old Juro thanked him.

"Thank you doctor." Hayami bowed alongside Sato.

"Enough of the 'thank you's. Now get going and enjoy your day. I still have a couple more patients to attend to so I'll come over at 7. How's that?"

"We will be looking forward to it." Mrs Noguchi smiled.

As the Noguchi family left the hospital, Sato felt a vibration on his left arm. He lifted his left arm slightly above his wrist and tapped on the quantum mobile device, Acad XI, on his wrist.

Even though phones are still being used, a lot of people prefer to use the advanced quantum devices, that take the appearance of a wristwatch. Also known as smart-watches, the quantum device is a somewhat advanced and sophisticated technology that enables banking transactions, long to ultra-long distance communications.

The Acad XI wasn't a luxury model but rather was made suitable for the middle class consumers, particularly lower-middle class.

"Excuse me, let me take this call." Sato said to his grandparents.

"No problem."

'Fudo? Why would he be calling me now?'

Seeing the caller's ID displayed on his smartwatch, Sato was a little surprised but nonetheless he tapped on the receive button. Immediately, he felt a weird surge of electricity pass through his arm towards his ears and with that, he became synced with the system.

"Hello Fudo. What's wro-?"

"Sato! Yato just had an accident ! Come quick, we are at the Shinjuku hospital."

"Had an accident?…Alright I'm coming." Initially, Sao wanted to ask more about the incident, but considering that they were in the same building, he decided against it.

"Okay. We're at Room 2X17." With that the call ended.

'2X17…That's the emergency ward on the 2nd floor.'

"Grandpa, grandma. You guys can go on without me. A friend of mine just had an accident and is still in the hospital. I'm going to go take a look."

"An accident? Was it little pig?" Old Juro was alarmed. Due to the fact that the smartwatch connects the brain directly to it, calls are down on a cerebral level so Old Juro couldn't overhear the details of the conversation unless Sato had used a speaker mode.

"No, its Yato. The brown headed psycho."

"Oh my! Go on. Don't worry about us. We'll be fine." Mrs. Noguchi replied.

"Our best wishes for him."

Sato nodded and walked quickly over to the Hover system (AN : I present to you, hovering elevators, the Hovervator.) since running is banned in the hospital hallways.

Despite walking, it didn't take him long to reach the ward. There were quite a few rooms with individuals standing in front or beside the doors, all with a worried look on their faces.

"Sato, over here."

Hearing a somewhat mature but childish voice calling out to him, Sato turned over to a room by the side. In front of the room stood 4 guys, all of whom Sato was quite familiar with.

"You came earlier than expected."

"Fudo what happened?" Sato said as he approached them.

"I don't know; I just received a call from Katsuo telling me that Yato got involved in a car accident."

"Is that true, Katsuo?" Sato stared at the tall and somewhat hunky guy dressed in sport clothing but with a grey windbreaker to wrap it up.

"I was just heading back home from practice when I saw Yato walking by the streets. I called him out but he didn't respond to me. As I ran over to him, he crossed the road absentmindedly and got hit by a vehicle. It looked more like he walked over intentionally than absentmindedly. Till now, I'm still surprised at what came over him."

"*sighs* Is he alright?" Sato asked.

"Yeah. Yato was quite lucky Katsuo rushed him over, otherwise he might have been doomed. Shinjuku General Hospital has state-of-the-art equipment so he should be fine. The main problem is the payment; 12,000 ALDs. I used my insurance to pay a part of the bill so it got rounded to 10,670 ALDs." Four eyed Seiichi spoke up.(AN : Chapter 1 part 3).

"If Seiichi hadn't paid a part of the bill they wouldn't have begun advanced treatment." Fudo sighed.

"Don't praise me. What are friends for?" Seiichi said as he nudged his glasses.

"No, you deserve it, both you and Katsuo. Wait till that bastard wakes up and I will make him spit out why he decided to end his life. " The last guy, Matsui Yoshi, who happened to a cousin of Yato's, banged the wall in annoyance.

Even though Yato's aunt had abandoned him, not everyone in her family felt the same way. Yoshi was the only child of hers that still befriended Yato and even sent him money once in awhile, though Yato usually rejected it. Because of his kindness and care for Yato, he ended up becoming good friends with the rest of the crew.

"Don't worry about the fees. We will settle that later. Let's just hope that dumb idiot wakes up." Sato said as he looked into the room. "How long has it been since he's been in there?"

"About 15 minutes or so." Katsuo replied.

"Then it should be over soon."

Ten minutes later, as Sato had said, a slightly short doctor draped in a white coat with black glasses exited the room. Before he realised it, he was surrounded by a bunch of young men with one of them being so tall that he barely reached his chest.(AN : This line sounds weird…)

"Doctor, how is he?" Katsuo beat Yoshi to the job and asked hurriedly.

Regaining his senses after being astounded a bit, the doctor replied "You don't need to worry about your friend, he's already responding to treatment. It's a good thing you brought him here early otherwise we might not have been able to save him."

"Thank you doctor." Yoshi sighed with relief.

Feeling awkward in the presence of a giant and his friends, the doctor commented "You can visit him now. Don't do anything serious to him as he's still injured. He would be able to apply for a discharge by tomorrow afternoon or so."

"Alright." With that, the doctor walked away while the gang went into the room.

Even though it was called a room, it was actually an advanced operating theatre. Equipped with sophisticated and upgraded equipment ranging from MRI scanners to HLCR machines (AN : High level Cellular Regeneration. Made it up.). As a result, as long as the victim isn't proclaimed dead, almost any injury , disease and accident could be healed; all that is needed is money.

Yato laid on a bed surrounded with a few moveable and detachable machines attached to it. Even though he was recently involved in a serious car accident, he looked quite fine as he could still raise his head and move his body which apparently he was doing.

"You bastard!" Yoshi ran forward about to punch him. He was however held down by Katsuo.

"He just got treated. It's best not to punch him yet; wait till he's discharged."

"Tch."

Knowing that he wouldn't be able to overpower Katsuo, Yoshi gave up the pointless struggle.

"Talk." Sato walked forward and uttered.

Yato dropped his head low and silence reined the entire room.

After awhile, they heard some sniffing sounds accompanied by Yato's indistinct mutterings and somewhat glistening liquid flowing down his cheeks.

"I'm sorry…*sniffs*…I'm sorry…*sniffs*…I'm sorry. "

Sensing the depressing atmosphere around him, Fudo tried to walk over and hug Yato but he was stopped by Sato's outstretched hand.

"Explain yourself." Sato said while till facing Yato.

*sniff*"she…*sniff*… Mia broke up with me… I just couldn't handle it…I wanted to-"

*pah*

Following that, Yato entered a state of shock as he felt a burning pain on his cheeks.. In that instant, he only noticed a silhouette by his side, Sato's silhouette.
