Chapter Two

Eiri awoke slowly, as coous ous descended and the fog of drugs lifted. There as little light, only a soft glow coming from one end of the room. The first thing he felt was thirst then pain. Groaning he shifted slightly, which resulted in more pain.
\"I see you’re up sweetie. Here let me get you something for the pain.\" A kvoicvoice said. = Since when does anyone call me sweetie? = he asked himself sarcastically.
Opening his eyes Eiri looked around the room. It appeared that he was in the hospital. Then suddenly he remember how he managed to be here. The accident.
The nurse arrived shortly with a needle she injected into the IV. “There you\'ll feel better in a minute honey.\"
Swallowing Eiri tried to get his throat working so he could talk.
\" Miss, I came in here with someone...a Shindou Suichi...I need to know if he\'s all right...\" he said his voice cracking and raw from the air and lack of use. A look of confusion passed over the nurse’s face; lifting his left arm she checked his hospital bracelet. “It says her that you are Shindou Suichi. I\'m going to go and fetch the dr...r...I\'ll be right back.\" she said leaving him.

= I\'m Suichi, how in the hell could they get us confused?= he asked, he tried to think about it more but the medication she had given Eiri made his brain fuzzy and thinking impossible.
Soon a doctor arrived, looking Eiri over he checked the bandages on his head. Satisfied, he looked at Eiri and smiled benignly.

“Shindou-san you gave the nurse a scare.\" The doctor said with that patient look one would use with a child.

Eiri looked at the doctor wondering if all the people on the floor were in some way mentally deficient. “Sensei, I am not Shindou Suichi, there must be some mistake, I am Uesigi Eiri.\" Eiri said patiently.
\"There is no mistake, you are Shi-\" the doctor began but was cut off by Eiri.
“Do I look like a pink haired little brat to you? Now just tell me where he is!\" Eiri was losing his patience. And apparently so was the doctor.
“Bring me a mirror, now. “The nurse frightened, complied with the doctors order. “Ummm, sensei, I don\'t think this is such a good, idea,\" she said handing the mirror to the doctor.
Turning the mirror to face Eiri, the doctor, just stood there waiting.
Eiri looked into the mirror, not recognizing the face that was looking back. Gasping Eiri looked at Sucihi\'s face staring back at him all bruised and cut.... \"Oh my God!\" he said. Looking up at the doctor he said softly. “Where is Uesigi Eiri? I need to see him, now.\"
The doctor nodded, “He’s not far from here, I\'ll see if he is able to see you.\" With that the doctor left the room. Eiri closed his eyes, wondering what in the Fuck happened.

***************************************************************

Suichi sat back on the bed still crying. Looking at Mika he tried again to explain, but she refused to listen. Anger welled into him. Was this what Eiri felt when his sister bullied him? No wonder he barely put up with her. A nurse came in a fixed his IV, with much tsking over the fact that he ripped it out. After she was finished Suichi looked up to see a doctor come into the room. He walked over to Suichi and had the nerve to shine a light into his eyes. Blinking away tears Suichi looked away from the doctor.
\" So people are telling me you think you are Shindou Suichi. Why do you think that?\"
Finally someone who believed him. \" I am Suichi. I don\'t know why but something hapd ind in the accident. Ask Mika-san Ask me anything.\" he pleaded. The doctor shook his head and looked to Mika.
\" What is your blood type.\" she asked,
\" Couldn\'t you pick a harder question? Mine is A and Eiri\'s is AB.\" Suichi said petulantly. Amazingly it was Tohma who said something next.
\" You know Eiri is really not acting like himself.\" =Thank you God for Tohma\'s mind.= Suichi thought.
\" Yes but he hit his head pretty hard during the crash, that could explain the mood swings \" the doctor said matter-of-factly.
\" Yes but would a patient be suffering from delusion that he was he own lover? That seems a little far fetched.\" Tohma said calmly.
= No one ask me, it\'s just me that is having delusions= Sucihi thought depression wanting to swallow him whole.
The doctor looked thoughtful for a moment, standing he said, \" Well we won\'t know for sure what is happening until Shindou-san gets out of surgery.\"

Suichi looked up at the doctor angry, \" For the last time I am Shindou Suichi. What would I be doing in surgery...?\" his eyes widened looking from Tohma to Mika Suichi saw the look of concern and worry on their faces. =Are they worried that Eiri has completely lost his mind or are they worried about me his lover.
Gathering his courage he looked at Tohma, knowing that if he wanted answers, he would have to direct his questions to him.
\" What happened to my...my body?\" he asked nervously.
Tohma sighed and looked over at his wife for a moment before answering the question. \" All right, I will play along withs fos for now until we get some answers.\" sitting in the chair next the hospital bed Tohma ran a hand over his face, he looked tired and drawn. There was a lot of strain on him. Not only did he have to deal with his brother in law in the hospital, he had to deal with the lead singer of one of the best bands since Nittle Grasper being in the hospital as well. Not looking at him Tohma said quietly. \" The accident you were involved in was very bad. Sui-I mean you were not wearing your seat belt and before the air bag deployed smashed your head against the windshield. Sui-I mean your body is in surgery right now trying to remove the pressure on your brain.\"
Shaking his head Suichi looked felt the tears start again. \" No, no, if I\'m in Eiri\'s body wouldn\'t that mean he\'s.....\" Gasping Suichi was about to stand when he felt a hand push him back onto the bed. He stared up at Tohma in shock. He had never realized that he was that strong.
\" Suichi, if that is you in there...you have to calm down. Stay here, try to get some sleep. When...the surgery is over and it is all right for you to visit you may. But until then I don\'t want you to move.\" Tohma said his voice brooking no argument.
A nurse walked into the room and headed toward them. Checking Suichi\'s IV she injected something into the line. Smiling she patted Suichi\'s head, \" There that will let you sleep.\" Giving Tohma and Mika a pleasant smile the nurse left the room.
Suichi sat back against the bed his mind becoming fuzzy, the drugs taking affect very quickly. He was so tired, but he needed to see Eiri.... The last thing he said before sleep took him was, \" But, I\'m not tired...Eiri...\"

*********************************************************

Eiri, sitting up now, feeling less pain the drugs working enough for him to focus on something other than his body waited. The doctor had been gone for a while and he had begun to wonder if he had really gone to get Suichi....Eiri..whomever. This whole thing was confusing and the more he thought about it the more he wanted a smoke. Growling in frustration Eiri laid his head back against the pillow when he heard a gasp. Turning quickly he was amazed he didn\'t hear anyone enter the room. Eiri\'s eyes widened as he stared at..himself standing before him. But it wasn\'t him. there was something different. The shoulders were slouched, but not in indifference, but in anxiety.
\" Suichi?\" he asked softly.
\" Oh Eiri.\" Suichi launched himself to the bed stopping just before and softly resting his head on Eiri\'s...his...lap. \" How do you feel?\" he asked Eiri quietly, sighing when he felt Eiri\'s finger touch his head softly.
\" Sore...uncomfortable, and I am dying for a smoke.\" Eiri said feeling very weird running his hand through his own hair.
Lifting his head up Suichi said, \" But Eiri you can\'t smoke your in a hospital.\" Suichi said looking into his..now Eiri\'s violet eyes. \" Eiri I\'m sorry....it should be me there...\" with a strangled cry Suichi broke down and blubbered incoherently. Eiri felt his heart clench. It should be Suichi here lying in this bed, feeling this way. But somehow it wasn\'t, at least not his mind.
\" Hush Suichi....you can\'t change what happened. We don\'t even know what happened. All you crying is going to accomplish is me losing my image and you having a headache.\" Eiri said trying to pull the boy out of his misery.

Suichi lifted his head and dried his tears. \" You\'re right.\" he said thickly. Standing up Suichi took the chair and pulled it closer to Eiri. When he first looked at Eiri, Suichi couldn’t believe what he saw. The was so much damage. “ Eiri are you in pain? Did you want me to get the nurse?” he asked holding Eiri’s hand.

Eiri looked at Suichi and shook his head wincing as the movement caused more pain. “ No, Suichi I don’t need anything.” he said his hold on Suichi’s hand tightened. “ Don’t worry, I ‘ll be fine. And we will figure something out.”
