Raine's Anatomy

Disclaimer: If I owned ToS, I wouldn't be saying that I didn't.

A/N: And so, we find out that one of Raine's acquaintances is here, but is there anyone else? Raine begins heart surgery on Mr. Anderson, and later goes out on the town. Will She find anyone she knows? Let's check on them…

Procedure 2: Hello, And Here's Your Smack In The Face.

Life is…annoying. We get thrown curveballs each day. One time you're fighting against discrimination, and next, you're holding a human heart in your hands. When the hell did that happen? Research only takes you so far, the feeling, the emotion itself! is so hard to write about!

People always record what happens in books. Yet, it's entirely different in reality. How do people deal with it? I guess everything is a part of life. Some things can't be changed, but things can be done about them.

So, your main goal is to operate on the patient, and worry about yourself later.

"This really shouldn't have happened…" Raine said as she searched for the object that belonged inside the lung.

"Well, medical tests say that particular was weak, abnormal, I guess people would use." Rubyi replied, preparing her suturing string, "It wasn't holding to its structure very well, so I guess it took its chance when the vein sucked it in. Creepy."

"We'll have to fix that when we reattach the alveoli. If we get lucky, the air sacs will have stayed put together." Raine said, sweating a bit.

"I don't get how that happened, even…" Ruby shuddered, "It's so--"

She was cut off by Vid and a few other people entering the room. One man came over to help Rubyi, and the other one, a woman, went over to help Raine excise the alveoli. Vid held a cooler and some other supplied, then soon left. His work was done.

"I'm intern Northe. Northe Winds." the woman said solemnly, "I was assigned to help you with the heart and alveoli reattachment."

"And I'm Oce." the man helping Rubyi said, "I guess I should say my last name, too. Anicur. I heard things might get out of hand for Rubyi here…"

"Don't be an ass. I could easily handle this myself." Rubyi said darkly, a bit mad her resident had assigned this idiot to work with her.

"Well, whatever. It's nothing exciting. All you have to do is sutures." He rolled his eyes.

"Well, okay." Rubyi replied simply, "You can drain the fluid."

"What! I'm not going to--"

"It's simpler than sutures and the only other thing that needs to be done with the pancreas. Have fun." Rubyi tossed him the draining tool. He gave her a dark look, and she returned just as nastily.

"They both need to straighten up and do their job." Northe sighed, "I hate working with people like them."

"Well, right now our problem is the alveoli. What did the CT pick up?" Raine sighed, searching anywhere for the lung's item.

" They showed it was in the lower right pat of the heart. there are no other patients today; I'm glad I got assigned to something so interesting." North looked with a little wonder as Raine suture her current area and move to the designated one.

"You really shouldn't talk about your patients like that. They have feelings too, you know." Rubyi said, a bit offended, "they're not experiments."

"Yes, and you shouldn't talk to your fellow interns like that." was Northe's reply. Rubyi didn't say anything after this and muttered to herself.

"Okay. I found it." Raine said suddenly. There it was. The little thing that would have caused so much trouble for Mr…Mr…whatever his name was. Raine began to use the forceps to take it out. Placing it in a small metal tray, Northe wiped it off with a small brush.

"We shouldn't have any blood on it before it enters. We should also repair that vein as well. We received some tissue from an organ donor to repair this person's weak valve, so he should be fine." Northe glanced over at a cooler to let Raine know where the tissue was.

"Thank you. I'd like you to make the incision to the left lung, Ms. Winds." Raine said, suturing up the heart rather quickly and moving the metal tray containing the alveoli closer to her.

"Thank you for the opportunity, Ms. Sa--" Northe was cut off by the heart monitor flatlining again.

"Dammit." Raine said. She grabbed the defibrillators and blasted them down on the patient when they were charged. Nothing. She attempted this again. Still nothing. Once more? No. Raine panicked for a moment, but looked calm on the outside.

"We'll have to massage the heart to get a pulse. It's really eas--" Rubyi was cut off by all the capillaries randomly bursting, "No! What's going on?"

"It's a clot!' Northe yelled, "Did it come from the alveoli?"

Raine looked at the object. It was missing one of its tiny air sacs. Which meant…

"The alveoli is somewhere in the body. It can't be far from the heart. Rubyi, suture the area near the pancreas! Now!"

"I can't! I have to suture--"

Oce took her shaking arm, "Relax. I'll do it."

"O-Okay…" Rubyi continued her sutures nervously and Oce open the area near her. He gasped. There it was. The small sac blocking a capillary, which was why Rubyi's had all burst. The fluid had stopped by now, and Rubyi stopped the inflammation of the pancreas when finished with her sutures. Oce got some forceps. He kept missing. Northe got more than a little ticked off, and shoved him out of the way. She got it out easily and put it next to the rest of the alveoli.

"Honestly." was all she said. Raine was about to smack her, but felt she shouldn't.

"Don't do that again. The patient's blood is flowing all over. You can clean it up."

"What! He wasn't getting it out at all though!" Northe didn't really care who she was yelling at, a person who could easily fire her nonetheless.

"That's not the point. He could have easily called me over, since I was left with nothing because you were just done making the suture. Now get out of the way and clean that up."

"You know, I think this is some bullsh--"

"If you think that, then you can leave. NOW. But clean up the blood first."

Northe was now very angry, but proceeded to clean up the blood. Raine reattached the two parts of the alveoli with some antibiotic gel, one that would dry quickly than others. The things were firmly reattached. And now it was Raine's turn to go into the lung. They were the most annoying. It was very hard to get into them with out deflating them and causing blood to seep in, but Raine was an expert. She made her suture quickly and blocked out most of the blood with one hand, reattaching the alveoli the same way she did with the two parts, except that this was being attached to the stem. Raine quickly switched tools, as the drain we left near her, to remove any blood. She sutured up the lung quickly, and put some antibiotic gel on it to make sure nothing could get into where she had cut. Quickly opening another area, she found the weak valve. By this time, Oce and Rubyi had finished everything they had needed to and so Raine let out a command.

"Rubyi, hand me the cooler with the tissue. Oce, I need you to stop the bleeding of that incision. I didn't think it would bleed that much, the path to the lung. Also, check the lung and see if any blood has flowed in."

Rubyi quickly got the cooler and Raine let out some more orders, "Go help Oce, and then drain away an blood when he sutures up."

"Yes, ma'am." Rubyi said seriously, going over to help the man.

"Nothing got in the lung." Oce affirmed, "He should be alright here. I'm suturing up now." He did so, and Rubyi helped him (for he had his hands ship for a minute) and the woman then drained the rest of the blood. Raine had finished her job, confirmed everything was alright, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's reel him out. Oce, tell the family he'll be alright, then you're off for the night. I'm going to go home, and take a rest. Rubyi, you'll be off for the night, as well."

"Thank you." Oce said as he rolled Mr. Anderson off.

"Thanks, Ms. Sage…" Rubyi rolled her eyes at the Professor, at least Oce had his back turned.

"Well, we did good." Raine sighed.

"Yeah, but do you have any idea where you live. It feels like you just got here today…"

"I don't know how, but I seemed to actually know what I was doing on the operating table. My healing skill must have transferred over from our world to…wherever we are."

"Earth."

"Yes."

"Wow. I seemed focused today. How out-of-character for me…" Rubyi mumbled, "But anyways, you can stay with me tonight. I mean, if you have nowhere else to go…"

"Thank you."

"Mrs. Anderson…" Oce said. He was just returning from the place where he had transferred Mr. Anderson to.

"Yes?" she looked scared. A young child slept on her shoulder. And n older one was curled up in a chair.

"He's going to be all right."

"Oh, thank you!" She jumped up from where she was sitting to hug Oce, who really hated this part of the surgery. He wasn't big on being embraced like that. At least, not by a married woman.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Northe was EXTREMELY pissed. What the hell. She kicked over some random trays in a spare room, and proceeded to take off her doctors' clothes and throw them at the wall. And she had to wear all blue under those robes. What the hell! She hated blue!

"Augh! I didn't even do anything wrong! This Raine person thinks she can walk in here and tell me what to do! I'm the most skilled one here!"

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"So anyways, we both have the day off tomorrow, so I'll show you what to do…" Rubyi smiled as she opened her apartment door.

A/N: And so there you have it. Mr. Anderson turned out to be okay, and Northe and Oce were introduced. Northe Winds…Northern Winds, that one was easy. Oce Anicur. Oceanic Cur(rents). That one was a bit harder. I couldn't think of names for them. Vid's full name is Vidarr, the first boss from ToS, but they have no relation. So, Raine has a free day. And no, they are not in France. Lione Reeve just sounds nice. Lione is just lion with and e, and was sort of picked up from Dragon Warrior III, and Reeve is the name of a town in Dragon Warrior III.

Rubyi: And now here's a profile.

A/N: Hey, wait a minute! You can't just--

Rubyi: Shutup.

Northe Winds

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Weapon: Nothing. This isn't in the ToS world. Good at throwing things, though.

Description: She is a stone-cold person, not a rival or anything, but very easily agitated. She's not modest about the things she's good at, surgery being one of them. She can get annoyed when people don't do things right, and has almost been fired for this many times, though she usually finishes her assigned part before going to do a failing one someone else is doing. She rarely talks back to her superiors, but she may if she gets too mad. May blow up at nothing to some people, but she may have reasons of her own. Sort of vengeful, but not really. Would be funny if she was drunk, because Rubyi thinks so. Although, Northe has never been seen drinking.

Hobbies: Surgery, reading about surgery, being blunt, etc.

Rubyi: You didn't have to ruin my fun.

TimesHalt: I'm not going to have her drink.

Rubyi: Even so! It was a funny joke.

Oce Anicur

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Weapon: Nothing. Might being good at hitting someone with a sword-like object.

Oce is the laid-back surgeon who ticks everyone off. He's nice to his patients, but dislikes being embraced by them. He's not one to be overjoyed, and can be serious as Northe normally is when it comes down to it. He and Northe are seen talking a lot, though they hate each other. Rubyi has a strong dislike for Oce, mainly because he's a jerk and sometimes hits on her. She in NO WAY has affection towards him. Oce is often the one to have one-night stands.

Hobbies: hitting on people, getting slapped by Rubyi, going to bars, etc…

A/N: More on Vidarr later. Did I have him have a last name yet? Oh, well. Raine and Rubyi got out to the down with their day off. They find out they're not the only ones here…but who's the other person, or people? Find out in the next Raine's Anatomy! Read on.
