Hello again everyone heres the second installment of Love to Dust please enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu Yu Hakusho just my character :)
I limped badly down the street trying best to ignore the pain that covered my whole body the worst being between my legs and all over my back. Stumbling I leaned against the wall next to the coffee shop holding my cellphone between shaky hands typing in Yusuke's number pressing the phone to my ear. With each ring my breathing became more and more labored until I started sobbing hearing Yusuke's voice on the other line. "Hey this is…Miya? Is that you? Where are you? What happened?"Yusuke yelled through the mic.
"I-I n-need help, I have to go to the hospital." I whispered my bloodied hand coming up to clutch the front of my crumpled and dirty shirt, my skin felt cold as I trembled heavily in pain.
"Where are you? Tell me where you are Kuwabara and I will be there in a minute!"
"I-I-I'm next to a coffee shop." My horse voice cracked my legs buckled sending me tumbling to the ground dropping my phone as I shamelessly cried for who knows how long.
"Miya! I heard Yusuke and Kuwabara scream as they ran down the sidewalk quickly coming to a stop beside my curled up form. Yusuke grabbed my by the shoulders pulling me off the ground as I yelped in pain. His eyes widened and his face turned green as he looked at the blood soaked back of my shirt. "D-dear Kami, Miya what the hell happened to you?" I couldn't hear what he had said as the world spun around me and everything turned black.
Sometime later
"Mi?" My eyes fluttered softly as I shifted under the uncomfortable starchy sheets feeling incredibly weak. "HEY YUSUKE I THINK SHE'S WAKING UP!" turning onto my side I groaned pulling a pillow over my head.
"SHUT IT KUWABARA I'LL KICK YOUR ASS IF YOU WAKE HER UP!"
Opening my eyes I smiled tiredly watching at the two tried to stare each other down small bolts of lightning passing between their eyes.
"Where am I," I asked timidly my throat feeling dry and sore slowly looking around the room it was just like any other hospital the room smelled of antiseptic and was eerily bright turning to look at the IV in my arm trying hard not to freak out a shutter running up my spine.
Yusuke smiled at me setting a box in my lap looking down at it curiously I raised and eyebrow staring down at the strange container they both chuckled.
"Well Mi if you don't want to eat it I'll tell Keiko not to send you any more food when you getout of here."
"Heh, no need to tell her that If course I'll eat it I'm starving." Pulling off the lid and digging into the delicious looking food I looked up at the Doctor who walked in holding a clipboard, giving him a polite smile I swallowed my mouthful waiting to hear if I would be discharged or not.
"Yo Doc is she free to go?" Kuwabara asked stealing a chair next to my bed playing on a hand held game, Yusuke sitting at the foot of my bed. Biting my lip I gave him a serious case of the puppy dog eyes even allowing a few crocodile tears to well up in my eyes.
"Yes, miss Miya is free to go though her bandages need to be changed at least three times a day. I'll give you the prescription for her ointment." The doctor handed me a prescription smiling kindly at him I nodded in thanks before looking down at my almost bandaged form, wow, I look like some sort of mummy….
"So, Yusuke exactly how long was I in here anyways?" I asked running my sore fingers through my matted locks.
"Hm, I believe close to two months." He murmured fixing his hair in the mirror meaning he at some point today was going to go see Keiko.
"Wait, your kidding right? Please tell me your kidding!" My eyes widened as I looked around frantically for a calendar Oh no! If I don't get back to school soon I'm going to fail… like Yusuke yelping when I felt a sharp tug on my wrist paling where I seen the IV.
"Miya, sit down and wait for the nurse to come in, you'll be in here even longer if you hurt yourself." Kuwabara scolded frowning as he set her back down on the bed.
"no, they had to put you into a coma so they didn't kill you when they fix your back and helped with a huge concussion that you had and whatever else you had wrong with you." he replied opening the window I hissed and pulled my hood over my eyes.
"The light it burns!" I hissed leaning my face towards the ground. Groaning I sat up straight and glared at Yusuke who was in tears from laughing pulling a pen out of my sweatshirt pocket I threw it at him laughing when I hit him in the middle of the forehead. Smirking I threw a sharpie at Kuwabara who had been oddly quiet.
"Yeah, two long months Mi they put you into a coma. That wound on your back was bad they weren't sure if your we're even going to make it. Apparently you had a bad concussion too among everything elseincluding broken ribs. Mi, tell me who did this and I promise I'll break their arms and shove them up their ass so they can't ever do that to you again."Yusuke growled glaring at his own reflection in the window.
With a deep breath I pulled on a clean shirt that Kuwabara had borrowed from his sister looking over at Yusuke sadly. "Yusuke, I don't want you worrying so much about me, your like my little brother I don't want you getting hurt for my sake."
After the nurse finally came in and removed the Iv I quickly pulled on my hoodie practically bouncing to the door as Yusuke pushed it open happy to see me finally back to my old self. Once out onto the sidewalk I took a deep breath of the fresh air sighing contently pulling my hood down grinning at the two until I got out from under the awning hissing as the sun bored into my eyes.
"OW, my eyes damn you sun!" Groaning I hid my eyes behind my hands throwing whatever was in my pockets at the boys as they laughed loudly at me.
"Come on you cave spider lets get something to eat I'm starving." Yusuke said patting the top of my head before resting his arms behind his head smiling, Kuwabara had been oddly silent since we had come out o the hospital.
Looking over at him Yusuke smirked reaching into his pocket pulling out a pen throwing it at Kuwabara hitting him in the middle of the forehead laughing as Kuwabara as he blinked assessing what happened before he reacted.
"HEY! Urameshi I'll kick your ass!" Kuwabara yelled tacking Yusuke laughing at their antics I shook my head turning around slamming face first into a mans chest. Screeching and flailing my arms I tipped onto one foot before falling back onto my ass with a well placed swear. Looking up at the man in front of me I glared darkly not noticing the way Yusuke stared at the man with wide panicked eyes.
The man held out his hand to me helping me up with a polite smile, "I'm so sorry Miss please excuse my rudeness allow me to help you up." Giving him a mistrusting look I stood dusting myself off the wounds on my back aching.
"Oh hey Hokushin! What the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be…..other places?" Yusuke quickly added looking very nervous.
I looked between Hokushin and Yusuke frowning knowing there was something going on between my adopted little brother and the weird man dressed like a monk.
"Well, thanks for everything guys, I'm gonna head to the drug store and grab my meds and head home I could probably use some rest." Scratching the back of my head I winced smiling feeling a twinge in my back before turning silently walking in the direction of my house.
"Oh come on Mi do you really think were going to let you go back to your house when your all injured like that, at least stay with Kuwabara or I until we know your better." Yusuke said catching up with me frowning softly. "I know that their the ones doing that to you, I mean come on none of the kids at school would be that stupid especially since they know your friends with both Kuwabara and I?"
Kuwabara rested a hand gently on my shoulder frowning, "If I knew your parents were doing this shit to you Shizuru and I would have made space for you to come live with us." Kuwabara added concerned about my stiffened posture.
Chuckling softly I stared at the ground kicking a few loose stones on the asphalt."IT'S NONE OF YOUR GOD DAMN BUSINESS WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENS AT MY HOUSE!"
Yusuke's POV
My mouth dropped open as I stared at Miya shocked at her sudden chance of attitude. She seemed so angry at first glaring so darkly at the ground that I swore she almost burned a hole in the asphalt. However, I wasn't the only one who seemed shocked at Miya's change of mood Kuwabara stared at her his mouth agape, even Hokushin seemed a bit surprised at the outburst his eyebrows raised quietly.
After a moment her anger turned to sorrow and her eyes became misty as she hugged Kuwabara and I, "I-I'm sorry guys I d-don't know what came over me..." Miya whispered her voice cracking as she clung to us.
"Mi, its no problem it's been a bad day for you." I hugged her gently patting the top of her head. "You know this part of town why don't you? Why don't you take us to a good place to grab a bite?" I watched as Miya mulled it over for a minute kicking the pavement before smiling brightly up as us.
"Yeah I think I know just the place if you guys are okay with coffee shops. It's my favorite place around here when I have the money..." Miya searched around swearing softly when she didn't find her wallet.
"Don't worry about it Mi, I'll pay for you." Kuwabara gave her a lopsided grin, "Now come on I'll give you a piggy back ride." Miya cheered loudly throwing herself onto his back with child like glee. All of us laughed including Hokushin who couldn't help but chuckle at the happy moment.
Miya led the way jumping off Kuwabara's back once we arrived ginning happily pushing open the door taking a deep breath of the coffee scented air before plopping into a seat in the back getting comfortable in the poofy high backed chairs.
I sat in a chair stretching smiling widely, "wow Mi why didn't you liked this place, if I did I probably would have come here before. Damn these chairs are comfortable."
"Hello there lady and gentlemen, what can I get for you today and would you like to hear our specials." The waitress smiled pulling a pad of paper and pen out of her apron.
Miya hummed softly fiddling with the sugar packets, "Just my usual, an iced coffee with extra sugar please."
"Any you boys?" The waitress added while writing down Miya's order
Opening my eyes I looked over at the girl, "yeah coffee preferably black."
"I'll have the same thing as Miya, if you wouldn't mind miss." Kuwabara piped up finally turning his attention away from Miya.
"And for you sir?" The young woman asked Hokashin who replied he didn't want anything the waiter walked away going to make their drinks.
Kuwabara's POV
I didn't know why but I just couldn't stop looking at Mi, something about her just seemed completely off. I was getting a strange vibe from her and I didn't know if it was just me, it was really starting to freak me out. Neither Yusuke or Hokushin seemed to find anything weird about it. My train of thought was interrupted when the waiter came back with our drinks.
Setting the orders down on the table I took a sip of my coffee, "So Mi what brought you to this place in the first place, and why didn't you tell us about it?" Mi looked up playing with her straw she smiled not noticing that she had a bit of a whip cream of her nose.
"Well to tell you the truth I was just feeling a bit adventurous so I decided to try this place out. To tell you the truth I never brought you two here because I figured that this wasn't a kind of place you guys would enjoy."Miya shrugged biting on her straw for a moment before taking a large sip of her coffee.
Miya seemed to be spaced out jumping at the sound of her phone going off quickly pulling it out of her pocket she walked out the door.
Frowning I turned to Yusuke who was talking quietly with Hokushin. "Do ya think somethin's up with Mi she's been all snappy. Its so weird because she never raises her voice. Do you think we should talk to Kurama maybe he might have some insight and can tell us if somethings up?
"Yeah, now that you think about it she has been a little off, I mean yeah Mi had gotten mad at us before but she's never gotten that mad over something so little… Though we can't ask Kurama, hes been studying for exams next week." Yusuke replied taking a gulp of his coffee staring down into the cup.
"Well what about shorty, do you think he could take tabs on her. I'd give him something to do instead of moping around all the time."
"Nah, he wouldn't do it he likes he free time doing...whatever it is that he does, probably sulking."
"Hah! Yeah and besides shorty would throw a fit if we asked him to do this. I'm pretty sure Shizuru would like the company I'll try and convince her to come home with me, I'll even make her favorite food if that doesn't get her racing to the table I don't know what will." I grinned triumphantly setting down my now empty cup.
"That's better than what I had in mind. I was thinking we could question her but when she gets pissed Mi scares the shit out of me." Yusuke shrugged turning towards the door as a crying Miya pushed the door open. Jumping up he looked at her with wide eyes. "Miya what happened? Whats wrong? Are you hurt again?"
"I-It's nothing Yusuke, I promise." Miya whispered sadly rubbing her eyes, taking a seat looking down at the remains of her coffee not touching it.
I frowned worriedly biting my lip, something is seriously wrong but why wont she tell us what it is? With a heavy sigh I put down the money on the table. "You guys ready to go it's getting kind of late?" Everyone nodded and stood Miya looking very distracted biting her nails. I couldn't help but be worried she only bit her nails when she was really upset about something but there was nothing I could do if she didn't tell us.
Miya's POV
Stepping outside of the coffee shop I answered my phone listening to the female voice.
"Hello, is this Miss Miya?" The woman asked.
I frowned picking at a loose thread on my shirt, "yes this is, who is this?"
"This is the safety first hospital, and I have some good news for you?"
"Oh, okay what is it?"
"Well, when we went through the scans for internal injury we found quite a wonderful surprise, Miya you're pregnant."
My eyes widened as I nearly dropped the phone, no please tell that they made a mistake… I tried to keep the tremor out of my voice as the tears fell freely down my face. "Well thanks you for informing me..."
"Your welcome Miss Miya, have a great day!"
Wiping my eyes I quickly decided against telling Yusuke and Kuwabara knowing they would both have a heart attack
Later
On the walk home I grew more and more irritated at the feeling of eyes on my back I finally got pissed off. "What the hell are you two staring at!?" Turning to glare at them Yusuke jumped both of the two quickly turning away. Grumbling curses under my breath I continued walking clenching my fists tightly.
"Well I was just wondering if you're okay. You seem a little like oh, I don't know LIKE A RAVING LUNATIC!" Yusuke exclaimed loudly shaking me by the shoulders causing me to laugh loudly smiling at him.
"Yeah I just noticed that too honestly, what the hell is wrong with me?" Smiling at their confused faces I turned onto the road my so called home was on.
"Which ones your house Mi?" Kuwabara asked curiously looking at all of the neatly painted houses with perfectly trimmed grass.
With a heavy sigh I pointed at the cozy looking house the front covered in flowers and a small fountain for the birds.
"Wow with everything that comes out of your house I'm surprised that the place is so nice looking." Yusuke pointed out poking the fountain with a deep frown Hokushin standing close by.
"I'd burn the whole god damn place to the ground if I had even the slightest chance to tell you the truth." Glowered I stomped onto the porch ignoring the looks of shock from all three of my companions, slamming open the door I turned looking at them. "If I don't come out in twenty minutes call the police." I called to them stepping into the hell I called home.
