The blaring alarms of the medical equipment echoed throughout the room as Haru gathered his thoughts. He looked over at Li Jun who was floating next to the bed.
"I thought you said I would be laying on the ground! How did I get to the hospital?" He asked before glancing over at the full body mirror next to the door to the room.
He looked at his new appearance dumbstruck and then walked closer and pulled open his eyelids to look at his eye colour that had changed to a light shade of blue. He then looked at his hair that had grown a significant amount and had turned a dark black colour.
"What the?" He was about to comment on his appearance as a nurse and a doctor opened the door to the room and stood speechless.
Haru looked back at them. Confused about the situation he turned back to the tubes behind him that were pumping out liquid onto the floor.
"Oh, sorry about that. I didn't feel it in my arm and when I got up they kind of fell out…" Haru laughed awkwardly as they continued to look at him like they had just seen a ghost.
"Mr Kitigawa. How do you feel?" The doctor shook his head and then took a few steps forward before putting his hand on Haru's shoulder.
"I feel fine. But I'm confused. Why am I here?" Haru asked and then turned to look at Li Jun but he had already made his escape back into the dragon emperor ring.
"Do you not remember that you passed out?" The doctor asked and then gave a firm pat to Haru's shoulder to see how he would react.
But it didn't bother him at all. It was like he didn't feel it at all. The doctor formed a confused look on his face.
"I remember passing out of course. I just didn't expect to be out long enough for you to get me here. I thought it would only be a couple of minutes at most." Haru explained. Not realising how strange his explanation sounded.
"So do you pass out like this quite often? Didn't you think to ever bring it up with a doctor?" He asked.
"No. This was the first time. I don't have any kind of condition or anything to be worried about." Haru then said while lost in thought. He then realised he was wearing only a hospital gown.
He walked over to his bed and looked for his clothes. He assumed that they would be close to where he was sleeping for some reason but that wasn't the case.
The nurse and doctor both looked at each other a bit puzzled when watching how Haru was behaving.
"Excuse me. What are you looking for?" The nurse asked.
"My clothes. What did you guys do with them." Haru responded as he opened the drawers on either side of the bed.
"You're clothes? They will be in the bag under the bed." She replied with a smile.
Haru then knelt down and looked under the bed. Sure enough, there was a white trash bag that looked like it was half-filled. He lifted it out on to the bed and then tipped out the contents.
"Are you sure you feel okay? It is not uncommon for comatose patients to feel distressed or even lost when they wake up." The doctor began to explain.
"I'm fine. I am just ready to go home now." Haru responded while thinking that he had only been there for a few hours at most.
"Seriously in my professional opinion. You should take it easy. You have been in a coma for quite a while. There could be some hidden issues that haven't shown an effect on you yet. We usually run a few scans once you wake up to make sure you haven't suffered any brain damage." The doctor began to explain.
"A while? How long is a while exactly?" Haru asked while putting his underwear back on and making sure the hospital gown kept him covered up.
"Well, you might want to take a seat. But It can wait until you finish putting your clothes on." The doctor said and then pulled the curtain that surrounded the bed so he could have some privacy.
Haru then finished putting on his clothes and folded the gown up and placed it on the bed. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.
He held down the power button and tried to turn it on but the phone had no response at all. It was out of battery. He looked at it with confusion for a few seconds as he remembered that it still had full charge the last time he checked it. He then opened the curtains to see the doctor and nurse both waiting patiently for him.
"What should I do with the gown thing?" Haru asked.
"Oh. I will take that to get washed." The nurse said and then walked over to the bed and picked it up and then scrunched up the garbage bag and then walked back out into the main corridor, leaving Haru and the doctor alone to talk.
"If you are ready then go ahead and take a seat." The doctor suggested to Haru.
"Okay, You sure made this sound ominous. Just tell me there is no need for all the tension." Haru chuckled and then sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Okay, I will be blunt. It is easier that way. You have been in a coma for just under four weeks. And don't worry. Your family was already contacted and your uncle has come by every single day to check on you." The doctor then stopped and waited for Haru to react.
"Shit. Four weeks? I was supposed to help Zen with a meeting. Wait did you say he has come by every day?" Haru asked.
"Yeah. He didn't miss a single day. He even brought a young girl with him each time. Suyin I think he said she was called." The doctor thought back as he explained it to Haru.
'Okay, that is good. If he came by every day then that means the meeting went okay.' Haru felt relieved as he heard that. Zen was supposed to be meeting with a crazy foreigner that liked to fight but it seemed like everything was okay.
"Are you doing okay? I know it is a lot to take in." The doctor asked as he mistook Haru being lost in thought as a sign of him being in shock.
"Yeah, I am fine. Could you let my uncle know that I am awake then? My phone is dead so I can't let him know." Haru asked.
The doctor seemed confused once again. With all the years of experience, he had learning medicine. Haru's case was far by the strangest case he had ever come across. There seemed to be no reason for him to be in a coma for so long and his behaviour when he woke up was strange but he seemed to be okay for the most part.
"Sure. I will have someone contact him right away. Do you still want to be discharged or do you want to take my advice and let us run a few scans?" The doctor asked. Giving Haru a choice, He wasn't a child anymore so he had the option to discharge himself.
"Yeah, I still want to be discharged," Haru stated and then waited for the doctor to continue what he had to say as it seemed like he had something on the end of his tongue that he was dying to let out.
"I really urge you to think again. We still haven't come to a conclusion why you passed out so it would be for the best that you let us run the tests. Your health isn't worth a little impatience. If we figure out what happened then we can try to make sure it doesn't happen again." The doctor let loose and practically begged Haru to let him run his tests.
'But I already know what happened. I don't need you, people, to run any tests. It will just be an inconvenience for both parties if I did let them. You wouldn't ever find out what happened.' Haru thought to himself as the doctor stared at him.
"I have already made up my mind. It is really nothing to worry about. So how do I go about doing it? Can I just leave?" Haru asked. He never had to discharge himself from a hospital before it was usually his commanding officer that would do it.
"If that is your decision then I have to respect it. I will take you to the receptionist to fill out the paperwork. You just have to accept to the terms that if you are leaving despite the doctors warning that we won't be held responsible if something happens to you." The doctor let Haru know and then waited for him by the door.
"Do you mind if I ask? What is your relation to Mr Zhu? I thought it was weird that he paid for a private room for you and then never came to visit." The doctor seemed to seemed interested in Haru's identity and by the sounds of it, he thought Haru might have been his illegitimate grandson.
"Oh well I did him a favour one time and he was actually there when I passed out. I guess he felt guilty or something. I don't really know him on a personal level." Haru stated bluntly as they walked through the corridors.
The tone Haru had taken to reply was flat much like how he had spoken before and it seemed to destroy whatever thoughts the doctor had about him.
After a few minutes, they arrived at the receptionist's office. Haru had to fill out a few sheets of paper declaring that it was his decision to leave against the doctor's instructions and that only he would be held responsible if a health problem occurred from not having the scans the doctor recommended.
After he finished filling out the paperwork the doctor gave Haru a nod of approval and then watched as he made his way out of the doors and back into the world after four weeks of what seemed like sleeping.
