Ruri’s pink eyes were filled with concern for her friend as she moved her free arm to place her hand on the small of Yuzu’s back so she could help her up. Luckily for Yuzu, Ruri had gone through years of medical school to be the very well trained nurse she was today, so seeing Yuzu react like this after a such a fall wasn’t too surprising for her, but… she still couldn’t help but worry about her condition…
… especially when it took a dreadful turn.
Oh, this certainly wasn’t good.
“Hey hey… it’s okay. Don’t panic,” she tried to reassure her dear friend, “you’re going to be—“
“Where am I?! Who are you?!”
Ruri frowned as Yuzu continued to panic, her hand gently squeezing hers as she did her best to try and calm her down. Amnesia after a fall like that was rather common, but to have Yuzu start panicking wasn’t good for her health or for the baby. They needed to go to a hospital… now.
“Shh…” Ruri whispered, lifting her hand up from Yuzu’s back so she was gently squeezing her friend’s shoulder, “I know it’s scary, but I’m not going to let anything bad happen to you, okay? You can trust me.” Once she was sure Yuzu was… calm enough, that was when Ruri decided to answer her questions.
“Your name is Yuzu Hiragi and I’m Ruri Kurosaki.” She explained, giving her friend a comforting smile to try and keep her calm. “We were out shopping together and you fell. You hit your head, which is why you won’t be able to remember anything right now, but I’m going to help you, okay? We’re going to the hospital so we can get you and the baby checked out.”
Ruri took out her phone as she carefully guided Yuzu to her car, dialing her own husband’s number. While Ruri knew that calling Yuya first would have been the most important thing to do considering he was Yuzu’s husband, she knew him far too well to tell him straight away, especially when they weren’t even at the hospital yet. Yuya could be such a worrywart (and after this fall, Ruri couldn’t exactly blame him) and with Yuzu’s current… memory issues, Yuya’s constant hovering didn’t seem like a great idea at the moment. She just wanted to wait before giving all the details.
That was why she was calling Yuto instead.
“Hi Honey,” Ruri spoke calmly into the phone as she helped Yuzu into the passenger side of the car, giving her friend a reassuring squeeze to her shoulder once more, “are you still with Yuya?” She paused for a moment, waiting for his answer. “Okay good. I’m about to tell you something, but I need you to stay as calm as possible so you don’t freak him out, okay?
Yuzu took a fall and she can’t remember anything. I think the baby is okay, but I’m going to take her to the hospital now. I’ll give you another call once I think it’s okay to bring Yuya in okay? I shouldn’t be too long. … Okay, thank you. … I love you too.” Once she was done, Ruri quickly hung up and put her phone in her pocket, moving over to the driver’s side and quickly starting the car and pulling out of the driveway of the shopping center.
“You’re going to be alright, Yuzu. I know this is all very sudden, but I need you to just keep taking deep breaths for me, okay?”
