His Dark Queen - Sondam

Chapter 2: Lucky Awakening

— Sonia's POV —

       After rushing into the room, I saw it. A few medical trays, the trays used by surgeons to hold their medical instruments, on the floor. I guessed those were what that clashing noise was but... I couldn't tell if the scream was from Akane or from... Nagito... He was awake, it looks like he could only lift his head up a little. I would expect that for being in a coma for sometime. Was he too weak to say anything? Why was he just staring at us? Maybe he thinks the killing games are still going?

"Holy Shit! Holy shit! Holy SHIIIIIIIIIIIT!!" Akane screamed, "That HAS to be the ghost of Nagito!"

"Akane! Calm down! Nagito is not a ghost!" I exclaimed, he can't be right? Since you can't look through him? "Clearly, Nagito has awoken from his coma!"

"Ohhhh! Yeah! You're right!" She chuckled with a smirk, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.

"Anyways, Akane, tell me what had happened?" I questioned her, "Especially with all these trays on the floor like this?"

"Huh? Oh! Well you see, I was just checking up on him as usual. And when I went to see if he could respond to anything, like waving my hand in front of his face, his eyes flashed open and stared right at me!" Akane stated, "And that all totally freaked me out, and I knocked into those trays," she added.

I paused for a second, that does sound like what Akane would do, "And were you the one that screamed?" I asked.

"Yeah it was! Totally freaking scary!" She smirked, but she was still feeling embarrassed from the scene she caused. "Anyways," Akane added "Let's focus on Nagito right now! I got so many questions!" She cheered.

Nagito looked at Akane then back at me. He totally had that 'I wish I weren't right here right now' expression going on.

"Hey Nagito, you doing okay? Normally you are a 'chatterbox' as they say?" I gulped, this isn't like him, but I do remember near the end, he was acting differently but only because of what we did during our terrible forgotten high school life. I widened my eyes, Nagito had open his mouth, looking prepared to say something, anything! But all that came out was a hoarse, unintelligible sound. "Uhm..." I stammered, pausing for a moment to think, "Oh! Maybe! Maybe he needs some water?" I exclaimed.

"You need some water? I'll get it!" Akane replied, dashing off to get some as fast as she could.

I looked back down at Nagito, I have an idea! "Uhm, Nagito, can you understand me?" I asked, he turned his head up and down, I gleamed with excitement! "Is your throat just dry? Is that why it is hard to speak?" I had asked again, I must know, so we know our friend is okay. And this time, Nagito had shrugged and nodded. I'll take that as a probably! And just like that, Akane was back with water for Nagito. We had helped him sit up-right, so he could have a few sips.

"T-that's better," he muttered, and used whatever was left of his strength to finish the glass.

       "Don't push yourself! You must stay here and heal some more. You are the first one to have waken up." I claimed joyfully with hope.

     "Yeah! So we have no idea what we're doing! Haha!" Akane laughed playfully. That's not a funny joke, we should be happy that we know they can wake up from all this havoc.

       "Akane! That is no matter to be joked about! We should take this seriously, who knows when the others will wake up!" I exclaimed, when will the others wake up? Now? Tomorrow? Next week? All these thoughts racing in my head, with no clear answer anywhere. "What we should do is ask Nagito more questions when he can. Maybe he'll know, and we're gonna have to explain all that had happened too." I suggested to her.

       "Yeah! I totally agree with you Sonia!" She yelled, pumped up from knowing the other could wake up soon too, especially Nekomaru.

       "W-what else happened?" Nagito mumbled, his voice sounding better, just softer and more quiet. With this, me and Akane had to tell him everything. Who the Future Foundation really was, Junko, the showdown, the simulation. We knew he already learned that we were the former Ultimate Despairs, no need to remind him about that, or even to us. "That- that sounds like a lot" he added, it really was a lot, too much in my opinion, but it is what happened.

       "And that's what takes us to today, you're the first to wake up from it all" I smiled, I was happy that one did wake up, but out of all people, it had to be Nagito. Perhaps, his Ultimate Luck had came, that could be a possibility. Let's just hope that, he can pass some luck down to the rest of his peers.

       "So! What was it like? To be in a coma?" Akane rudely asked. You can't just ask someone that! But this is Akane asking after all...

      "Well, I don't know, one moment I'm breathing in poison, surrounded by fire, next minute, I'm here in a hospital gown." Nagito stated, purposefully not making eye contact with the both of us, "You guys did solve that case, I'm guessing? That's why you all are alive?" He asked finally looking up at us, I responded with a short nod. "I guess my luck really is Ultimate" He chuckled.

       "Well, what really matters is that the killing games are over! We're safe on this island, it's just me, Akane, Hajime, Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, and now, you." I beamed, "There are the others but, you know, they are in a state of what you were in just now."

       "Uh, speaking of the others! Shouldn't we tell them about this? I mean, this is like a big deal right here!" Akane cheered, pumping her fists energetically. It was almost as if she was ready to run miles and miles just to tell them.

       "Yes! Yes, you should, this is the greatest news we've gotten so far!" Just as I said that, Akane rushed out again, even faster when she had gone to get water for Nagito. But I do understand where all her excitement comes from, I understand it perfectly.

       While waiting for the others to come with Akane, I sat in the room with Nagito, for the time being, I wanted to watch him, make sure he didn't fall back into his endless slumber, make sure he is normal as Nagito can possibly be. Minute, after minute, after minute, I heard the hospital doors swing open, with many many footsteps coming this way. It was no doubt that Akane has them all gathered up, with the important news. They came in, all trying to rush in the door way at once. Just to see if it was all true, just to see if he had truly woken up.

       "She wasn't fucking lying." Fuyuhiko said shocked, he probably thought this was a prank, the horrible types she'd make.

       "Heheh, nope it's all true, I'm the Nagito you've all been waiting for." He said, using his might to stand up.

       "I'm pretty sure you're hungry as hell," Hajime smirked, he had brought rations to the hospital for the newly awaken, maybe that's why it took so long. He gave one to Nagito, he scarfed it down immediately after he got it.

"Maybe we should check on the others? What if they've woken up too?" I mentioned to the others. After deciding, we agreed to look through the rooms together, however Hajime would stay in Nagito's room, they have a lot of catching up to do. Going room by room, we went in, checked, and went to the next. And each of them were all the same, there lies a woken up body in the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Except one...

(Note: Gundham will be here soon, do not worry! My vision of this story has somewhat more intro than most the the Sondam fics out there. Just wait for around chapters 3-4 hehe)
