Cardcaptors Future and the Past

CHAPTER 6: Kou dies

Hitokiri was rushed to the hospital after they transformed back to their human form. "What happened?" asked the doctor when they came into the doors. Li was carrying Hitokiri on his back. The doctor had short blond hair. Her name was Yukemi. Her arm was badly bleeding so she had pasted out long before they got to the hospital. "We were practienceing our sword skills and she accidentally got stabbed in the arm." said Kou. "Ok, lay her on the stretcher. I'll take a look at her arm. Nurse get these kids out of here and get me some blood samples." ordered the Dr. Yukemi.

The nurse excorted Sakura, Li, Madison, and Kou into the lobby. "But she's my sister. I have to be with her." said Kou as she tried to get back to Hitokiri. "Could you fill out these forms? She is in critical care. Nobody is allowed to see her till the doctor says ok." said the nurse. Kou sat down and filled out the forms. Sakura called her father and told him where she was. Madison and Li did the same. Later on that evening Sakura's father came to pick her up. He took Madison and Li home, too.

RING RING RING. Seiya walked over to the phone and picked it up. "Hello?" said Seiya. She had been terribly worried about the twins because they hadn't came home yet. "Hi Seiya." said Kou. "Kou. Where are you guys?" "We're at the hospital." "What are you guys doing there?" "One of It's minions hit and we had to transform in front of them. His minion shoot Hitokiri in the arm and she's in critical condition from loss of blood." "Oh My Gosh. Are you ok?" "Hai" "I'll be there in a few. Stay right there." said Seiya. "Ok" said Kou as they hung up.

In a matter of minutes Seiya was there. "I already filled out the papers." said Kou. "Arigato." said Seiya as she went to the nurses station. "Excuse me." said Seiya. "Hai, how can I help ya?" asked the nurse. "Hitokiri Ko is my daughter." "Ok" "How is she? Can I see her now?" "The doctor is working on her right now. She will tell you when you can see her. Please take a seat until the doctor comes.

A hour later the doctor came over to Seiya and Kou. They stood as she approached. "How is she doctor." asked Seiya. "She is doing fine. The bleeding has stopped but tomarrow you can take her home. She should stay over night so we can see if it will become infected." "Ok can we see her?" "Hai this way." said Dr. Yukemi.

They walked into a white room. Hitokiri laid in the middle of the room sleeping quietly. They went over to her. "Shall I leave you?" asked Dr. Yukemi. "Hai, please." said Seiya. Dr. Yukemi walked out of the door shutting it behind her. "Hitokiri-kun. What do tou think you were doing?" asked Seiya when Hitokiri woke up. "My mission." said Hitokiri. "Oh, you were protecting Sakura." "Hai." "That's so brave of you." said Seiya. Hitokiri nodded her head and fell asleep.

The next day Seiya and Kou went to pick up Hitokiri. "Seiya, don't let Hitokiri use her arm for a week. She shouldn't really move it either. The wound is not fully healed over so if she moves it too much it could open up again." said Dr. Yukemi. "Arigato for taking such good care of her." said Seiya. Kou had already went into Hitokiri's room. Hitokiri was eating some breakfast. They could hear the adults talking in the hall. "I'm glad yoour coming home. I was lonely without you." said Kou. "So was I." said Hitokiri as she finished eating. In a matter of minutes she was dressed and they were on their way home.

They next day Kou walked to school by herself. She was deep in thought as she sat down in class. "Hello Sakura, Madison, Kou." said Li. She absent mindedly replied as did the others. "Kou where is your sister?" asked Ms. Mackenze as she took role. "She's at home." said Kou. "Can I ask why?" "We were practiceing our sword skills and she accidentally got hit in the arm and we had to take her to the hospital. She came home yesterday." said Kou. The classroom gasped at the news except for Madison, Li and Sakura for they knew the real truth.

The week went fairly fast. Their class sent get well card to Hitokiri and Kou gave them a update on her condition. Sakura and her friends came to see her for a while after school each day. As the weekend grew nearer Hitokiri feared for her sister for she knew what would happen. Kou and Hitokiri was getting ready to go to the park with Sakura when Hitokiri stopped her.

"What's wrong Hitokiri? asked Kou. "You can't go." said Hitokiri. "Why?" "Cause." Cause why. Hitokiri I want to know." "You just can't." said Hitokiri. She pushed Kou into the open closet and shut it. She jammed the door shut. "Let me out Hitokiri." said Kou banging on the door. "No, I won't let you something very special." said Hitokiri as she walked out of the room. Seiya was already at work so she didn't worry about Seiya asking her any questions. She walked to the park.

"Where's Kou?" asked Sakura. "She had other things to do." said Hitokiri. Li knew she was lying but he didn't know what for. The twins always lied when they knew something that they didn't want others to know. They walked around for awhile. Li was trying to figure out why. Hitokiri had left her sister at home.

Seiya was home in a couple of hours. She heard banging and yelling from upstairs so she went upstair to see what was going on. She found that it was coming from the closet in the twins room. She opened up the doors to the closet to find Kou there. "Kou what are you doing in there?" asked Seiya. "Hitokiri pushed me in there cause she didn't want me to go to the park with Sakura and them." said Kou. "Why?" "I don't know but I'm going to find out." said Kou as she ran downstairs and out the door.

It's minion attacked when they got to the foutain. "Sakura watch out." said Hitokiri. Sakura transformed the key into the wand as Hitokiri transformed into Artemis. Kou rounded the corner as they transformed and she too transformed. Hitokiri sensed her sister's prescence and rmembered her vision. "Hello Sakura." said Minion. "What's your name?" asked Sakura since they have known all the other minions' name. "My name is Minion the last one. If you defeat me It will come and attack you." said Minion.

He was fast and the only thing Hitokiri knew to do was stand infront of Sakura. His attack was to fast for the others to see but Kou saw it it was heading staright for Sakura's heart but Hitokiri got in the way. Kou saw that now the attack was heading for Hitokiri's heart. "PRINCESS SAKURA, HITOKIRI!!!!" yelled Kou as she flew as fast as she could to get infront of Hitokiri before Minion struck. His attack peirce through Kou's heart and she screamed.

Hitokiri knew what happened. Minion had killed her sister. Blood splattered over everybody. Kou's body fell to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It goes from bad to good and back to bad. I wonder what will happen to Kou since she died. Sad chapter, I know but hey it was good. How will Hitokiri deal with Kou's death and how will they defeat Minion.
