Miyuki's eyes widend. "No... KEN!!!" She cried slamming the pedal. "You Bastard! I'll make you pay!"

Miyuki felt a sharp pain to the side of her head, before evertyhing went black.
********************
An unknown amount of time later, Miyuki opened her eyes slowly, feeling about as well as if somebody smacked a frying pan on her forehead. She was in an hospital room, wearing an hospital gown, with a bandage covering the top right and side of her head. Judging from the light coming from the window from below the curtains, it was close to noon.
By the side of her bed was a seemingly comfy armchair, in which was sitting Natsumi, apparently tired, wearing a red blouse and black pants and flats, and a brace for her wounded shoulder.
"...H-Hey? ...You're... awake?" she let out, surprised, but also relieved.

"What happened?" She asked. "Ken- is he alright?!" She asked in panic again.

The mere question itself drew traits of pain and sadness on Natsumi's face, as she moved to sit down on the bed by her side.
"...It's, um... he..." Her eyes instantly filled with tears. "...I-I'm sorry, Miyuki-chan. Ken-san... he... Ken didn't make it", she said, trembling.

"No.... It's not true... No... It can't... I... I... NO!!! NO HES NOT!!!" She yelled trying to get out of bed tears streaming down her face. She didn't even know what she was going to do or where to do she just had to leave.

"W-Wait!... Miyuki-chan, please! Calm down", Natsumi almost begged, going after her and holding her close with her arm. "...It sucks, and... I-I know it hurts you more than anyone else, alright? ...I know that! But you almost f*cking died as well, so please, for the love of God, calm down. You won't be able to mourn anyone if you turn into a vegetable for rushing out in the middle of your recovery, and I sure as hell don't wanna lose you too!" she cried out, visibly shaken despite her usual happy go lucky self.
"...M-Miyuki-chan, you've been in a go***mn coma for four days, I thought you might never wake up", she let out, sobbing.

Muyuki finally stopped struggling and broke down sobbing weakly. "It's all my fault... I shouldn't have gone after them. It's all my fault." She repeated.

"That's not true and you know it", Natsumi said, trembling a little, but bringing her back to the bed, helping her lay down. "It was Ken's own idea, and they were super dangerous. If we didn't stop them..."
She paused, sighing.
"Miyuki... they interrogated the guys we caught. The Boss was betrayed by his partners, they wanted him dead, and he wanted to pay them back. He was going to drop that bomb downtown, and according to our tech guys, it wasn't a normal bomb. It would have blown an entire quarter of the whole city to hell. Apparently, we saved millions of lives... the mayor says we're heroes. As for... that asshole who shot you and Ken-san... he was some sort of elite assassin, nicknamed Lord Deathstrike in the underworld. He used some crazy sci-fi bullets that basically phase through anything other than a body, and can seek their targets with some sort of device looking like a watch. James Bond stuff. The only reason you're still alive is because your car swerved to the side and squeezed itself thin at the last second... It only grazed you bad, but the shock still sent you into a coma. The docs weren't sure if and when you were going to wake up..."

She could do nothing but cry and whimper at this point hearing this did little to comfort her.

Three days passed, and Natsumi still stood by her partner's side as long as the visiting hours allowed her, having dropped her shoulder brace over 48 hours ago, having made a full recovery. Miyuki's own wound had healed well, and the doctors confirmed that she would recover fully and without any lasting negative effects. All of her friends from the Department had visited her at one point or another, but Natsumi simply refused to leave her side for as long as she was allowed to stay. Physically speaking, she felt a lot better, and if all went well with the last test results they were waiting for, she'd be allowed to go home that very day.
The Chief had come personally to visit her with a bouquet of flowers from the department, with Natsumi still sitting by her side.
"...Good morning, Kobayakawa", he said, taking off his hat, and planting a fatherly kiss on her forehead, the bandage having been removed for one day now. "...You look a lot healthier."

He nodded, putting the flowers in a vase on the side of the window.
"I'm... sorry about what happened. The special ops were slowed down by traffic, and we had no idea they were heading to that helipad, nor did we know it was the Boss or that he had such a dangerous assassin with him. Had I known what you were up against, I would never have asked you or Nakajima to go anywhere close those men. So many things went wrong...", he shook his head. "...I take the entire responsibility for the damage you two suffered, and I will pay for any medical bills from this mess."
He nodded.
"...Is... there anything I can do to help?"

"No." She said meekly and depressed.

He sighed, sensing that she was not really in the mood for visitors. "...Alright. Um... just... take care then. Just... call us when you feel better. Tsujimoto, you take care of her for us, will you?"
"Of course, chief", Natsumi said without hesitation.
He thanked her, picking up his things, putting on his hat. "...I'll see you both soon, I hope."
He left, and Natsumi gently took her best friend's hand to try and comfort her a bit.
Minute later, doctor Sarutobi, a man with grayish hair and a kind expression on his face, soon enough came into the room.
"Ah, Kobayakawa-san. I have the results of the last tests. You are back on your feet, pretty much as healthy as can be. I wouldn't say you're ready to go back to work, I'll prescribe a week of rest or light duty if necessary. Otherwise, you are fine and free to leave. I brought your personal effects and your uniform."

"Okay... Thanks." She said getting out, and getting dressed.
