Chapter 39 Basketball 38
The gymnasium was completely silent.
Whether it was the students of Teiko and Meiko Junior High School, the audience, or the contestants, they all looked in the direction of Teiko's manager's seat in astonishment.
The beautiful and sparkling girl sitting at the Teiko manager's table was so dazzling from the very beginning that she could not be ignored, and her every move caught everyone's attention.
So when the whistle blew at the end of the game, everyone saw the girl suddenly fall to the ground.
Even her fragile head hit the ground first, and her long black hair fell limply like a waterfall, hitting the hard court floor with a loud noise.
“…Sana?!”
It was their hoarse, disbelieving voices.
Unlike the leisurely pace they had just taken to humiliate their opponents in the game, the body's reactions would not lie. They rushed back to Kurikawa Sana at the fastest speed.
"what happened?"
"Why did Sana's breathing seem to have disappeared..."
"She's bleeding from the back of her head!"
"How did it suddenly become like this?!"
The "fun" they had just had in the game and the joy of winning the National League for the second consecutive time were gone.
What replaced it was unprecedented tension, panic and helplessness.
"Get out of the way! Call an ambulance!"
Akashi Seijuro's face was extremely ugly. With an almost tough attitude, he blocked the hands of others who wanted to touch her. He picked up the girl from the cold ground and held her carefully in his arms.
The "Eye of the Emperor" has the ability to "predict the future". At this moment, he keenly realized that Sana's coma was not an ordinary one.
His heart seemed to be squeezed tight, and a bad premonition gripped all his senses. Unlike his usual relaxed appearance, Akashi Seijuro's expression could even be described as out of control.
"Sana...?"
The girl's pale and beautiful face was gray, her lips had lost all their color, and her long eyelashes were covered in shadows, with no sign of waking up at all.
Like a delicate and beautiful doll that no longer has any life or energy.
Bright red blood flowed down the back of her head, onto Akashi Seijuro's hand, onto the ground, and onto the sides of other people's sneakers.
Akashi Seijuro looked down at his hands, which were covered with her blood.
Her blood was burning hot just a second ago, but it was rapidly turning cold.
The crimson blood, the same color as his right eye, reflected in the bottom of his eyes, almost burning his retina.
Even after facing the most brutal kidnappers, they were able to escape alive. Even when facing the real gunpoint, she had never been injured so badly...
The heterochromatic pupil in the boy's left eye kept changing, and for a moment the gold faded away. Another personality in his body was clamoring angrily to come out.
Why did it turn out like this?

The hospital's ambulance arrived as quickly as possible and sent the unconscious Kurikawa Sana to the emergency room.
The teenagers who came with them were waiting outside the emergency room. They didn't even have time to change their game jerseys and paced back and forth anxiously.
When the lights in the emergency room went out, the doctor came out and said, "We've cleaned and stitched the wound on the back of the patient's head. As for the cause of her coma, it was shock and severe hypoxia caused by intense nerve stimulation, which led to impaired heart pump function, insufficient blood volume, and severe heart obstruction."
Kise Ryota repeated blankly: "Strong...nerve stimulation?"
Aomine Daiki also clenched his fists suddenly, and his expression changed suddenly.
Midorima Shintaro said in disbelief: "This shouldn't be the case. She was fine this morning..."
Akashi Seijuro raised his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Doctor, when will she wake up?"
"We can't answer that question. Ms. Kurikawa's brain was deprived of oxygen for over 10 minutes, medically speaking, she was already brain dead. We performed CPR on her when she was rushed to the emergency room, maintaining her vital signs."
The doctor said with regret, "Generally speaking, if the brain is deprived of oxygen for more than 8 minutes, it will cause irreversible damage to brain cells. Being able to survive is a blessing in disguise... As for whether she can wake up, we can only hope for a miracle."
“…”
A dead silence fell.
"How could this happen...!" Tao Jingsuo's tears instantly burst out. She was talking to Sana just fine in the morning, why did it suddenly become like this?!
Murasakibara Atsushi's incredibly tall body also shook uncontrollably.
A strong...nervous stimulation? Or a mental stimulation? He couldn't hear clearly.
Is it his fault?
Sana had clearly said that at the time, she had clearly told him that.
She said, Murasakibara-kun, I feel so uncomfortable.
But he completely ignored the past.
Not only that, he also condescendingly declared to her that he would no longer like her.
As long as you no longer like her, you will no longer listen to her and will no longer be emotionally affected by her.
Murasakibara Atsushi clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms again, causing the place where the skin was already broken and bleeding and then dried up to crack again.
The last thing that broke the dead silence was Kuroko Tetsuya's weak voice.
"Excuse me, when can we go see her?"
"You should all be Miss Kurikawa's classmates, right? Theoretically, immediate family members should be arranged to visit first, but we contacted Miss Kurikawa's parents abroad. They have paid all medical expenses, but they said they are very busy and have no time to come back..."
The doctor couldn't help but sigh, "Once Miss Kurikawa's condition stabilizes, we'll arrange visits for you all."

“Drip—drip—drip—”
In the single ward, the atmosphere was depressing and silent, with only the sound of the monitor being clearly heard.
Akashi Seijuro stood beside the bed, silently watching the unconscious girl.
The medicine and nutrient solution flowed into Kurikawa Sana's body through the syringe, and the back of her pale hand had turned purple.
The person who smiled at him last night was now lying lifeless on the hospital bed, unable to open those blue eyes as clear and beautiful as the sky again.
No, perhaps even if she were awake now, she would not smile at him again.
He was still irritating her before she passed out.
If he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had never done anything for her that could be called a good memory... not a single thing.
He was making her sad from beginning to end.
…
Akashi Seijuro closed his eyes, and everything in front of him was dark.
At this moment, he came to a dark space that only he could enter, which housed two different souls of "Akagi Seijuro".
Standing in the center of this black space was a red-haired boy who looked exactly like him.
That is the "he" of the first personality.
The first personality "he" has always been gentle and generous, and rarely gets angry.
But now, he was visibly furious, his crimson eyes burning with rage.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I shouldn't have given you control of my body. You actually... actually hurt her to this extent!"
"You keep saying that only you can always win, and only you can control everything, but what about now?!"
"The result is that we lost her forever."
"Are you satisfied now?"
Facing the accusations from his other self, Akashi Seijuro spoke hoarsely: "I..."
But in the end, nothing could be said.
Because, there is no point in saying anything.
If there was any way to get her to wake up...
Unfortunately, there is no if, and time cannot be reversed.
The first personality looked at him for a long moment, then curled his lips and said, "How pathetic! You clearly have feelings for her just like I do, and you've had more time to spend with her than I do, yet you don't cherish them."
"Sana is already a good person and deserves everything good. But you only fell in love with her after being kidnapped with her, and even hurt her before that... You have no right to like her at all."
"You lost her."
Akashi Seijuro stood there in a daze.
Until this black space shattered like a mirage, and what came into view again was the hospital's white ward.
Looking down at the pale and beautiful sleeping face of the girl on the hospital bed, Akashi Seijuro stretched out his hand to touch her, but stopped in mid-air and finally chose to retract it.
Sana...
sorry.

On the Teiko campus, the sun was shining warmly, and in the wisteria corridor emitting a delicate fragrance, Murasakibara Atsushi looked up at the sky with a dazed expression.
——"Um, could you please share some of your snacks with me?"
——"This is the British kiss on the cheek. Thank you, Murasakibara-kun."
Murasakibara Atsushi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and looked in the direction of the voice behind him.
The breeze blew the vines and purple petals, and there was no one behind him.
…Turns out it was just an auditory hallucination.
Has it come to this?
Murasakibara Atsushi laughed at himself and fell back down as if he had lost his strength.
The sunlight was too bright, so he closed his eyes.
However, even if I closed my eyes, her face with a bright smile appeared in front of me, and the girl's sweet and pleasant voice seemed to linger in my mind.
The time when I was able to be with her every day at the beginning seems to be still vivid in my mind.
He knew that he had a bad temper, like a child, possessive and would not allow others to touch his beloved possessions...
But he never expected that things would turn out like that.
He had been unable to sleep recently, and he kept recalling the day when the girl weakly told him about her pain.
Li Zai...
Murasakibara Atsushi's eyes were sore, and he felt like something was about to burst out.
The boy opened his eyes again and looked up at the wisteria flowers swaying in the wind in front of him.
The flower language of wisteria is deep longing and persistent waiting.
Its flowers are unique in shape, and clusters of flowers are closely connected, like endless emotional bonds in the heart.
Missing, and waiting...
Murasakibara Atsushi curled the corners of his mouth.
Does he still have the qualifications?
