"Okay, review." Half-lidded, deep gold eyes flicked up into determined icy blue. "What would be the cure if a student came to you with a headache?"

"Check for a temperature. If there isn't one, give the patient an acetaminophen tablet and send them away." Came the prompt answer.

"If there is a temperature?"

"Check for other symptoms of illness and the severity of them, then proceed as needed."

"For a common stomachache?"

"Antacid and water."

"And if a student has been bitten by a desert snake?" The older nurse switched off instantly, giving the younger a brief pause.

"…Ascertain the species of snake and inject the antivenin needed?"

"Before that?"

"Cleanse the area and apply a tourniquet." Was the response, sounding sure now.

"Well done. Now, what if a student came in with a limb completely severed by a kinshin attack?"

"Check to see if the student is in shock, disinfect the area, then apply morphine before-"

"And?" At the younger's questioning look, the elder elaborated. "Before giving the patient morphine, there is one more thing you should do, Mira."

Nygus' forehead creased at this and she looked at the bandages on her hands in concentration. A minute passed, then two. "Excuse me Medusa-sensei, I do not know what I left out."

"In that situation, a tourniquet would also be helpful to staunch the bleeding." Medusa leaned foreword with a kind smile at the younger women's downcast expression. "Though, their partner or the person who transported them would most likely have applied a crude one at that point, so it is an easy thing to leave out or forget until the situation is at hand."

Nygus nodded and lifted her head again, eyes bright as her teacher leaned back again and shook a finger playfully. "Just don't forget it when the time does come!"

She let out a chuckle and Nygus smiled, breaking her usual indifferent expression for her favorite teacher. Even though Medusa-sensei was only a few years her senior, the demon weapon could already sense the respect growing in her at the women's vast knowledge and steady calm. It were those things that had inspired her to become a nurse too after all.

"Nygus! Ny-…"

"Don't worry Medusa-sensei, I'll make sure not to…"

"-gus!"

'Hm?' She shook her head once and tried to block out the noise, Medusa-sensei was saying something-…

"Nygus! Wake up, it's time to initiate the next step in operation 'Majo' !" Instantly, icy blue eyes, now hardened and cold, snapped open and the women got to her feet, and reality, in the same moment. She tried to focus on her partner's words.

"I thought the area hadn't been discovered yet?" Nygus quickly began tightening the bandages she wore and grabbing articles from around her tiny apartment, sparing her blue-skinned partner only a brief glance and shaking the sleep from her rigid shoulders.

"The scouts have just located it and reported twenty minutes ago. You and I have been released for preliminary reconnaissance." Nygus nodded once, that was all the information she needed.

"Are you ready, Sid?" The zombie man gave her a thumbs up, breaking the tension for the moment.

"I was the kind of man to always be ready for situations like this!" Nygus' eyes softened and she smiled under her wrappings as she followed him out the door, letting it shut behind her, but her expression hardened as she quickened to stride beside her meister down the bare hall.

This was the opportunity she'd been waiting for since that night nearly two months ago and the complete betrayal of Shibusen by the revealed snake witch Medusa. Her one chance for revenge.

The weapon's eyes fell into slits and her hand strayed to the knife at her belt. There would be no forgiveness.

'I'll see you soon now, Medusa-sensei…'

So, uh… The thought occurred to me yesterday, (when I was scrambling for oneshot ideas because I had nothing) if Nygus is the nurse now and Medusa was the nurse then- wouldn't Medusa have trained Nygus or something?

And so, this was born!

And, about last chapter, you guys are all as weird as I am! I will probably be writing another Patti/Chrona, but I don't know when and I don't know how.
