Aki-Sora:

Love Resigned

Chapter Two: 

Renewed Strands

Part One

It had been, extremely, difficult for Aoi Nami and Kuro-Mochi Saika to bring Aoi Aki out of the train due to her catatonic, dehydrated, and malnourished state.  Fortunately, this had been a time that Nami had not forgotten her phone or had lost it somewhere as she had called for an ambulance at their arrival point.  The emergency medical technicians had arrived a few seconds after they had stepped from the train.  Their three person crew had taken control of Aki and listened to what Saika had told them about her condition.   They began the intravenous feed to return the necessary nutrients into her body.

It had taken the ambulance and the following cab about a half hour to return to their home town's  hospital.  Then, it was a very few moments before she was placed placed into a room that was next to her younger and most beloved brother's own room.  It was the three women's request that these accommodations be made for them, because the two of them would wish to see one another as soon as possible.  Saika and Nami had remained within Aki's room while Kana had been left to watch over the still whimpering and unconscious Sora.

This had continued for an entire week as Aki became ever healthier and stronger. She had been able to reminisce with her family and friends when they were here.  It was only when the intravenous feed had been removed and the diagnostic machines had been removed from her arm that she was capable of starting to become mobile again.

She had worked hard to be able to be able to stand and walk of her own volition.  It was, then, that she had asked about where Sora was located and about his condition.  Fortunately, it had been Kana's turn to stay with her and to keep her company.

Kana looked up from the fashion croquet that she had been busy designing the clothes around at her lover's sister's questions.  It was the first time that they had spoken to one another since they had entered into high school.  She laid both her paid and pencil upon the table that was beside her.  She put he hand under her chin and frowned as she considered how to explain it all.

"Hopefully, you know about the fact that Sora-kun is well-known model of women's fashion.  We believe that he came to enjoy it after Nami and I had stopped using him to hide our emotions for one another.  It was after that that he came to the Cosplay Club's salon, to act as our model, and participate in various club activities.  I had not known that shortly after that you were forcibly transferred to a distant high school.  I just remember that when he was in costume that he seemed like his old self again."  

Kana opened her eyes and saw that Aki-chan had become pale and was shocked about hearing the news that Sora had been unfaithful to her.  She had, only, been with him even though she had received plenty of love letters and confessions.  "It was, only, Nami and your mother that had known that he would spend any time that he was not doing club activities or was in school that he would just be in his room and had stopped doing any of the housework and cooking.  He had, also, being close to any of his friends or classmates.  He had, almost, not been able to graduate due to his actions and attitude.  We were, all, glad that he had been able to graduate."

As she continued to tell what she knew of the situation, she saw that the other woman had calmed down and was becoming disturbed by what he had gone through.  She was close to tears as she drew her knees up to her face.  She wrapped her arms around them. 

Kana was about to leave the room to allow her to be alone with her emotions.  However, Aki called out to remain and to sit with her on the hospital bed.  As she got comfortable beside her, she looked upon the other woman's face as her tears started to fall. "How could the three of you do such a thing to me?  I know that it was important for us to keep our relationship a secret from everybody to remain together.  How could he do it?  Was I not enough for him?  Tell me why...  Why..."
