"Cassie! Watch out!" A girl with mid-length reddish-blonde hair with dusty-blonde lynx ears yelled at her friend, a kitsune with chocolate brown hair and reddish-ears. A trio of dragon demons surrounded them. The cat-girl's loud, frightened voice yelled out too late. A bullet shot boomed, going through her black leather-covered right leg.
The cat-girl tried to make her way to her friend, but another member from the demon gang took his stolen jeweled knife, and stabbed her left arm as she ran. The cat-girl grimaced at the scrape of metal against bone. Black. Everything dissolved in black.
----------
Mel, the cat-girl who had bandages going up her arm about a foot sat in the hospital's chairs that were the same color as the blood she and her friend spilt. "Mel? Mel! Hurry up, buddy! The phone's only free for so long." Cassie, the kitsune from the accident and who was on crutches urged her friend.
Mel blinked her ocean-colored eyes. "Oh…Okay, Cassie-san. Thanks."
Cassie nodded. "Yup. I'll be at the snack bar when you're done, okay?"
Mel nodded back. She stared at the off-white phones. "Should I…?" She asked herself. The phone rules at the hospital were:
Only one phone call a day
Phone call only to parents
No gum on the phones!
Now, the only rule they broke daily was the 'Phone call only to parents'. For, neither of them quite knew their where-abouts of their parents. So, who did they call? Hiei and Jin, that's who! Hiei was called by Cassie, and Jin by Mel. The girl continued to stare at them.
She stood up, ignored the jut of pain through her arm and made her way to the snack bar. No phone call for her today. She paused for a moment, and a sly grin was brought to her face. She walked over to the phone and dialed the number for the nearest pizza place.
"Hello? Yeah, I'd like 13 pepperoni and extra cheese pizzas to room 748 at Arisama Hospital on Main Street. Just put it on Koenma Daioh's tab. 20 minutes? Ok. Ja ne." Mel said, grinning sadistically, and made her way into the snack bar.
"No!!" Mel said dramatically, and stole the bowl of bland tomato soup from Cassie.
Cassie glared at her neko friend. "Hey!"
Mel simply shook her head. "We need to be back to our cubicle thing in about….Eh…15-20 minutes."
The kitsune blinked. "Um….Why?"
Mel smirked. "You'll see."
----------
Cassie and Mel were back in their room in 20 minutes, where they met the pizza-boy at the door at the same time. "Oh, er…Here are your pizzas." The pizza boy said, staring at ground, his long red hair partially hidden thanks to the baseball cap.
"Don't I know you?" Cassie asked.
The pizza-boy handed Mel the pizzas. "Um….No….." The pizza-boy said quickly, backing up.
"No, I think we do…" Mel insisted.
Cassie took off his cap. And there stood a very embarrassed Kurama. Cassie blinked, and Mel sniggered.
"You see, I'm under-cover…" Kurama explained.
Mel laughed. "Suuuurrrre." Mel teased.
----------
"So, why are you girls in the hospital?" Kurama stupidly asked.
Both girls laughed bitterly. "Why do you think?" Cassie asked, hitting the register in the room with her crutches.
Mel sniggered. "You really areas dumb as you look, huh fox?"
Cassie and Kurama both shot her dirty looks. The cat-girl's eyes widened slightly. "Oh ho! Cassie! You like little fox pizza-boy?"" She laughed. "Well, what would Hiei say?"
Cassie's face reddened, and Kurama look over at her in shock. "You mean….You and…..Hiei?" He asked. His voice was part shocked, part disappointed, and part angry.
"Ooh! Just lookie what I created!" Mel said in a cheery voice, watching the two.
"Well…Not"- Kurama cut Cassie off.
"You are!" He said incredulously.
"Well, not really!" Cassie shouted.
A nurse angrily walked in, telling them to shush, and instinctively Mel shoved her current slices of pizza in her mouth and laid down to make it look as if she were sleeping.
"Sorry Miss Brown." Cassie said quietly.
"And visiting hours are almost over, so wrap it up!" The nurse hissed, walking off.
Mel sat up, and polished off the last slice of pizza, and the pizza slicer table-like thing by accident.
"Oh really?" Kurama asked.
"Well, why do you care? It's not like you loved me!"
"Oh really?!" he shot back. "Because, my heart begs to differ!"
Mel choked, but they didn't look.
Cassie was silent.
Kurama was silent.
The only sound was the angry gags from Mel. She hit her chest, her dog tag clanging softly, and she finally coughed up the slicer which…..was strangely covered in hair…Mel shuddered and threw it in the 'Hazardous Waste' bucket.
"Well, Kurama…I believe visiting hours over, fox." Mel and Cassie surprisingly said at the same time as the miniature grandfather clock on the small table in the room dinged.
Mel piled the empty pizza boxes on the kitsune's lap. He stood up, clutching the pizza boxes close and left without a word, but left a rose on the floor.
