Sounds of sirens, people screaming, it's as it's always been at the Death City Hospital. Lord Death, 'The king of this continent' as some like to call him, had this hospital made for the soldiers who got wounded while fighting Asura's country. And also for people in the nearby cities to go to when they are sick or go into labor or something along those lines.

A young male nurse with white hair looked through patient files. He flipped through each one and sighed after putting away one after another. Another patient came dashing by in a stretcher. He screamed loudly as the paramedics pushed him to his room. "He better not be in my room." He sighed. A dark haired girl sat at the reception desk next to him and typed up some reports. Some more paramedics came buzzing past them. "Why does everyone get hurt during the summer?"

"Because they feel as if they are immortal." The dark haired one responded. She continued to type. The nurse looked over at her monitor and watched her type for a few seconds, before going back to the files.

"Well, they obviously aren't." He put the pile of files away.

"Hey, Soul, how come you don't get many patients?" The dark haired one asked, not looking away from her monitor. The albino sighed and sat on her desk.

"I slip Albarn a 20 every month to make sure that no one gets put in my room." His friend made a 'Yeah, sure' nod. "How about you, Tsubaki, you seem like the type to be a nurse, why did you study for this instead?" He grabbed her ponytail and started to examine it.

"Well, Soul, why did you become a nurse? You don't seem like the type of guy who would be one. What was it the last girl you dated said when you told her that you worked as a nurse?" She finally looked up at her friend with a smile on her face.

"No Tsubaki..."

"Was it...'Wow! I thought only girls got that type of job! Are you really a girl?' or was it 'That's pretty girly, why am I dating you?'"

Soul dropped his friend's hair and placed his forehead in the palm of one of his hands. "It was both..." He said under his breath. Tsubaki smiled in triumph and turned back to her monitor.

"Evans to Room 42. Evans to Room 42." A voice came onto the intercom.

"That must be you, Soul. Have fun with your patient." She called out as her friend walked away.

He grunted and headed down the hall. He walked past multiple rooms with screaming patients, some rooms were empty, and some still needed sheets cleaned of blood. He kept cursing under his breath on his way to his room. "Damn that Albarn, she promised that I wouldn't have any this week. Fuck her and her whole life."

"I heard that."

Soul turned around, yet there was no one there. He looked to one side of the hall, no one was there either.

"Yo, smartass."

He looked to the other side and there she was, standing outside the door to his room was Maka Albarn, the head nurse. Her father is the building administrator. She's the reason he landed such a good job in the first place. He'd probably be still searching for a hospital to work at if he hadn't met her. She had ashy blonde hair that was put up in two childish pigtails and olive green eyes. Her face was too mature for her pigtails, and her nose was pushed up like a pig's. Lot's of others nurses call her nanes behind her back,and if she hears them and knows their names, she's sure to tell her father.

"What's the deal here? I thought you promised me I wouldn't have any patients this week." He crossed his arms and stared at her.

"There were no free rooms that were clean, other than yours, y'know, 'cuz you don't get any patients. You have Law."

"Ugggh." Maka chuckled at his groan. "Justin Law?"

"Yup."

"But all Justin talks about is the bible and all that other religous junk." He took a clipboard and pen from his friend. "Can't you care for him?" He groaned again. Maka laughed and turned away.

"Have fun~"

"You know I won't." The ablino said and opened the door. "Hello Law, I am Soul, I'll be your nurse for today." He walked in, closed the door, looked through some papers, and signed his name on one. "So, got into a bad fight or something?"

"Yeah, but it was on the battlefield, so it was for our country, and that's good." Justin said. He had short blonde hair and was wearing a hospital gown. He seems to have been cleaned up some before Soul came, but he had some blood patches on him.

"I see. What all happened?" Soul, who was looking around for a thermometer, said. He hasn't been in this room for so long so he has forgotten where things were.

"Got stabbed under my left ribcage, shot twice in the leg, and a few teeth are broken." Law coughed up some blood, but shrugged it off. The nurse finally found what he was looking for and stuck it in his patients mouth and under his toungue. He gave it a minute then took it out and looked at the termperature.

"Well, you've got a normal temperature, that's good." He said as he put away the thermometer. He grabbed the sphygmomanometer (blood pressure thingy) along with a stethoscope. "Arm out." Justin obeyed and stuck his arm out enough for Soul to put the cuff around it. Soul put the ear parts for the stethoscope in and slid the other end of it under the cuff and started to add pressure. Once it was at it's limit, Soul stopped adding and let it deflate.

"Soul, how's it going with you and Maka?" The blond watched as his nurse got the cuff off his arm and put it up. "I've been hearing rumors about you two." Soul froze at the question.

"She's only my boss' daughter, nothing else." He resumed his actions and wrote down Law's temperature and blood pressure on one of the papers. "All the rumors are false. Especially if Star started it." He set the clipboard on counter and put the pen behind his ear. Now that he was done with his part of the job, he might as well chitchat with his patient. He leaned up against the counter and crossed his arms. "What are the rumors saying anyway?"

Justin smiled. "Nothing really, just that you two have been meeting in private so you can bribe her."

"With what?"

"I think you know, Evans, and it sure as hell isn't with money." Justin quickly made a cross with his body to have god forgive him for saying the word hell, motherfucking christians.

"Jacob you motherfucker..." He whispered to himself. Soul stood up straight and grabbed the clipboard, getting out of his friendly act and back to business. "Alright, Law, I'll run these to Kidd and he'll be here shortly." The nurse walked out of the room and down the hall to find the doctor. He finally found him while passing through another hallway, even though the doctor walked past him.

"Yo Kidd!" Soul called out. The son of the king turned around and walked to Soul.

Kidd, as mentioned before, is the son of Lord Death. His real name is Dillon, but due to the fact that he is the heir to the crown, he quite literally is Death the Kidd. Kidd had solid black hair, and if he stands in the right light, it would seem that his hair has three white streaks. He had sharp golden eyes and is pretty popular amongst female patients and nurses. The only downside about him is his symmetry OCD. Since Soul works in the same room as him, he has to keep that room symmetrical or else Kidd would have to go home to calm down.

"You're needed in 42." He handed the clipboard to his superior. "It's Law."

"Oh, alright. Thank you for letting me know, Evans. Oh, Albarn needs you in the staff room." He smiled and turned back around and towards his room. "See you later~!"

Soul took off towards the staff room to see the girl he is rumored to be bribing. As he passed many rooms with screaming patients, he started to get very uncomfortable and when he finally reached the staff room, he sat down and started to breathe heavily. Maka sat down by him and rubbed his back.

"Sorry Soul, forgot that this area makes you act like this." She said sweetly. "But I needed you to get here so I can return some money to you." She slipped him 5 dollar bill. "Figured you would want some money back since you got a patient." His breathing became a lot slower and back to normal.

"Th-thank you Maka." He took the money and stuck it in his pocket. He looked over at Maka and smiled. "Hey, have you heard the rumors going around about us?" Maka began to speak, but was cut off by the voice in the speakers.

"Albarn to Room 56. Albarn to Room 56."

Maka stood up and headed towards the door. "Yup, and I'm gonna murder Star for starting them." She opened the door and in came the screams of dying patients who were delusional. She waved goodbye and stepped out, closing the door firmly shut. Soul sighed and looked at the only other door in the room that leads out of the staff room.

"I guess I have to enter the building again." He got up and walked out the door to the staff parking lot. The sky was a bright orange as the sun set. There wasn't a single cloud in the sky and the sun looked exhausted after a long day's work. Soul smiled at the fact that he would be getting off work in just two hours.

His conversation with Tsubaki came back to him. "Why did you study to be a nurse?" He laughed at that thought. "If only you knew, Tsuabki." He muttered and re-entered the building.
