Liz's POV

Professor Stein and Death Scythe had appeared just a few minutes after the call was made. It took longer to actually find Tsuki under all the rocks. Death Scythe had to turn into a scythe to finally break apart the large rock that had happened to fall right on top of Tsuki. I quickly turned Patty around, not wanting her to see what was probably an unconsious Tsuki. I didn't want to either.

That could've been me.

The thought suddenly popped into my head and my eyes widened. If it weren't for her, I'd be the one there right now.

We managed to get Tsuki to the hospital and we are now waiting in a silent group for the report on how she is doing or the OK to go in. I gave Patty a giraffe coloring book and a thick stack of papers in case she wanted to build sculptures. I knew she was good at them. I wish my mind was easily destracted like my sisters. It would really help in times like this.

"Excuse me, are you three Miss Cartel's friends?"

I looked up at the man in the white coat. I tried to ignore the faded pinkish red spots on it as Kid nodded.

"Yes, that is us."

The man nodded. "You are aloud to come in. But Miss Cartel is sleeping at the moment. It would be best not to wake her up."

I nodded immediatly and grabbed Patty's hand.

"Where are we going, sis?" She asked me.

"To see Tsuki. But she's sleeping right now. So we have to be quite." I said, trying to sound normal like everything is great.

She nodded. "Okay."

I glanced at Kid and I swear I saw his eyes a bit red. It might've just been me.

We followed the doctor down the hall and to room 216. Lord Death was there, which shocked me a bit. Professor Stein was there as well along with a very, very fancy and strict looking man I have never seen before.

"H-hi Dad." Kid said.

Lord Death turned towards his son and offered a big white glove. Kid went ro his father and stood beside him as Patty and I got all the way into the room.

Tsuki really did look like she was sleeping. Her arm was bandaged up in a cast it looked like and had a now white head, covered in slightly bloody bandages.

That should've been me.

The voice in my head said, very loudly. I shook my head a bit.

"What's her condition?" I asked no one in perticular.

"Well," Lord Death said. "Tsuki has a broken arm, a few broken ribs, and a huge headache. And lots of cuts and bruises everhwhere. But nothing to major besides the three."

I nodded. That was good to hear.

"The doctor said that Tsuki will be asleep for a while. With that head injury, no wonder." Professor Stein said.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Patty asked. She squeezed my arm until it felt purple.

Professor Stein nodded. "Yes. She'll get well soon."

I nodded. I glanced at Kid and saw he almost disappeared into Lord Death's robes.

"So." Lord Death said softly. "You should all get to bed. It's been a hard day on you three."

I nodded.

"Yeah. I'm kinda tired. Can I sleep here with Tsuki?" Patty asked.

I smiled slightly and shook my head. "No, sorry Patty. You need to come back with us."

"Aww. Okay." She said she then turned towards the door, still gripping my arm. "Goodnight, Tsuki. We'll see you tomorrow!"

I smiled slightly as I followed a determined Patty out.

Kid's POV

Why did it feel like my heart was just ripped apart and stepped on? I looked up at Dad as the girls left. Professor Stein nodded, muttering something about tests to grade before heading out.

"Are you okay?" Dad asked, looking down at me.

I nodded silently. "Um, Dad. I have a question." I said after thinking about it.

He nodded slightly so I knew he was listening.

"What is love?" I asked a bit quiter then I indended.

"Well, son." He said. "Love is when you care for someone. You care for them so much you'd die for them. And you feel like your heart would die if they got hurt."

I nodded. That was exactly how I felt about Tsuki. Does that mean I love her?

"Come on. I'll take you to home." Dad said. He made a move to pick me up like when I was younger and I shook my head.

"I can walk. It's fine."

He nodded. "Okay." He put his hand on my shoulder as we turned and headed out. I felt a strange soul wavelength coming off of the man. It baffled me, but I was just feeling dead and tired. So I couldn't think it through.
