They all rushed to the nearest hospital and immediately called Sally to help
their friend. When she and the rest of the Preventers crew did arrive, his body
was already rushed at the emergency room and the doctors present were doing
some necessary preparations for the patient's injuries. She went in immediately
with her staff and asked the doctors to leave the patient to her.
They didn't know he was a Gundam pilot, he was just a kid that got injured in
a war outside.
Duo walked back and forth, back and forth, back and forth until Heero got too
irritated to even say something like baka or sit down. He just yanked the braided
pilot's braid and sat him on the chair then glared his darkest ever glare. The
braided boy immediately shut up and didn't comment at all. It was no time for
jokes.
Quatre then came running from the halls, he just arrived from battle and was
panting real hard. "How is he?!" He gasped the words.
Trowa came behind him. He may look calm and not panting, but one would see the
uneven breathing, and the fast rising and falling of his chest. Meaning, he
too ran all the way from the front door to the operating room with Quatre.
They had all been in one big battle, it was not an extra-ordinary battle. Just
plain old MS destroying another MS. The mistake was, they all battled near the
base they annihilated. While Quatre and Trowa were wrecking havoc outside the
base, Heero, Duo and Wufei were inside planting all bombs, getting all data,
killing everyone inside. It was just one of those missions that says, total
annihilation, no one must survive. And so, they did what they had to do. Everyone
was doing a pretty good job with their own missions, until the trio rushed out
of base and signalled both Gundams that they were done. All three of them pulled
their triggers for all bombs inside the buildings and boom, everything went
into the great flame of destruction. But then, no one expected for 7 cargo ships
of mobile suits to fall apart and throw huge debris of MS parts all over the
place. After that, cargo ships came as back ups and mobile suits started piling
out. There were only 2 Gundams to fight more than a hundred MS, and that was
a big mess. The trio weren't very far from the battle grounds, and the explosion
reached them. All three of them were thrown away by the blast and sometimes
got in contact with the flying debris too. Heero got lucky and was thrown behind
a rock, so he didn't receive that much of a blow. Duo received a hard blow on
the head and fell unconscious immediately, but he woke up shortly afterwards,
holding his bloody head and trying to stop the blood. Wufei got the worst, he
was blown to the nearest tree, and along with him came the arm of a mobile suit,
with all the tubes sticking out. It crashed into Wufei's body and broke his
arm and leg because of the impact. Not only that, some tubes got implanted in
his thigh and arms too.
Quatre saw everything from his Gundam, he may not have seen it literally, but
he felt it. He felt the injury. And when he took a look at where he knew the
others would be, he saw a badly wounded and very bloody Wufei being carried
by Heero towards the nearest jeep. Then he saw the other MS trying to attack
the jeep. He shouted at the comm link to Trowa, "Trowa! We have to cover
the others! W
Sally went out of the emergency room and saw the other 4 pilots. Quatre immediately
rushed to her and asked what everyone wanted to ask. "How's Wufei's condition?"
Sally shook her head, "All injuries are not minor, but those would heal
in no time. The problem does not lie there. He lost too much blood and we need
a blood transfusion as early as now. His blood type is quite rare, and we have
to find a match as soon as possible. He can't last longer if he doesn't get
blood anytime soon." She explained calmly, but worry was written all over
her face.
Inside the room, there were several doctors with Sally, Preventer doctors. They
all took little samples of each of the pilot's blood and found no match. Sally
tried her own blood and still not the right match. All the doctors inside that
room tested their bloods too, and still not one was a match.
There was nothing they could do but wait. Waiting was the hardest part of everything.
Wufei started to stir and mumbled something, "N...na..nataku...."
Duo shook his head, "He's still dreaming about his Gundam?"
Heero shot him a look and the braided boy apologized. They all knew Wufei's
history, and the reason behind the Nataku name. Quatre walked over at Wufei's
and held his hand. "Don't go yet Wufei...don't go yet. We're going to make
sure that you stay here with us."
Sally then walked inside and looked at all four of them worriedly. "I received
a message from the main Preventers, and there are assignments for all four of
you, in different places."
"NOW?!" Duo asked incredulously. "What about Wufei? Someone's
got to stay here with him, and the blood? Did you get the blood?"
Trowa told Duo to calm down. "There's nothing we can do."
All of them set out to do their assigned tasks as quickly as possible. Heero
drove the car that he got as fast as he could to his destination. They couldn't
find the blood and it would be hard to find a donor, or the delivery if the
war didn't stop. Quatre vowed to Wufei that he would find the blood donor no
matter what it takes. He, too, promised to find the blood donor. They were the
only ones they had, maybe except for Quatre since he has his family still. But
they were the only ones that they considered friends…and friends don't just
give each other up that easy. They couldn't possibly lose one just because they
couldn't find a stupid match to his blood. They could lose each other on battle,
they'd known about that already, but not because they couldn't find the blood
match. His wounds would heal, said Sally, it was just the blood. His mind was
too preoccupied that he didn't see the woman that crossed the road. He had accidentally
hit her. He stepped down from his car and went to check if she was still alive.
She was, but she was soaked with blood and there were gaping wounds on her body
because of the car accident. He couldn't just leave her behind. So, he pushed
her in the backseat and drove back to the hospital. He looked at her at the
mirror and marveled at the sight.
She looked like she was just sleeping, though her breathing was shallow. Her
hair was on two pigtails, and was quite bloody. She also looked like she was
Chinese. And somehow, he could feel something from her. No, he was not attracted
to her, but there was just an air of comfort around her, even with her bloody
clothes and body.
Sally was sewing the wounds on the girl's flesh, when more blood seemed to seep
out. She frowned and tried to stop the blood from flowing. She muttered, "As
if we don't have enough blood loss happening....." She wondered who was
the girl. She didn't look like someone who would be walking around in the middle
of a war. She shook her head and continued with her sewing, but the blood just
wouldn't stop flowing. She was going to dry it up again when a thought came
to her. Seeing all the blood on the girl's body, she couldn't help it. She took
a sample of her blood and asked one of her assistants to check it. After then,
she tied the wounds again.
The assistant returned with a wide smile on her face, "We've found the
match."
Sally smiled and looked gratefully at the young girl who was still unconscious.
She would have to ask the girl if she was willing to give her blood to a stranger.
She asked her assistants to move this girl in the ICU as well, beside Wufei's
since if the girl woke up and would allow them to take her blood and give to
Wufei, they wouldn't have to waste much time.
Sally talked to Heero and asked where he found the girl. He told her about the
accident and Sally thanked him for bringing the girl to the hospital. "You
just saved us a lot of waiting. She's our girl. Her blood matched Wufei's."
Heero couldn't believe his ears, then he saw the girl being moved on the same
room as Wufei's. "I should tell the others."
Sally smiled, "I guess you should. She'd wake up sometime tomorrow, and
we're going to ask her permission for a blood transfusion."
"What if she wouldn't allow you?"
" I have a feeling she would." Sally answered reassuringly.
Heero nodded and sent out word for his fellow pilots that there was a donor
for Wufei. The rest of them hurried with their assignments and went to the hospital
the very next day.
Wufei was still unconscious, and he was dreaming. Dreaming about his wife. She
was right there, sitting in front of him. They were in the flower fields and
she was smiling at him. He wanted to reach her, touch her, be with her once
again. But she shook her head and smiled sadly. "As much as I would want
you to be with me, I can't let you." She crawled closer to him and kissed
his nose. "Not yet...but someday. And it would be a very long time. But
don't worry, I'll always be here."
Wufei held her hand, "No....I don't want to go...Meiran...let me stay.
I'm alone now..."
She shook her head and smiled reassuringly, "You're not alone. You've got
your friends, and you'll find someone to love someday as well."
Wufei still shook his head, it had been so long since he last saw her and it
was so real this time. He would have to say it, "But I love you....I could
never replace you...don't leave me....."
"I know that...and I love you too....as long as you remember me, I'll always
be with you..." She kissed him for the last time and then there was just
darkness.
The girl that lay beside Wufei's bed opened her dark ebony eyes and looked around
the hospital room. Sally smiled down at her. "How are you?"
"Fine, I guess...." She then looked at the person that lay on her
right, on the other bed. "Who's he?"
"He's another patient, and he needs blood badly. I'm sorry to ask you this
since you just woke up, but...his blood is a rare one, and yours too. We've
been looking for a match, and yours did. So, will you be willing to give him
your blood?" Sally asked carefully.
The girl's lips tilted into a soft smile, "I don't mind at all..."
She then looked at the boy again, "..he looks like he really needs blood."
She looked up at Sally again, "He needs it more than I do." She said
softly.
Duo and Quatre gave a sigh of relief when they heard the girl's permission for
the blood transfer. They had been sitting on the sofa silently, just watching
and listening to the conversation. If the girl said no, they'd beg for her to
say yes. Trowa nodded, satisfied that their friend would be alright. Heero was
just there, watching the girl. There was just something about her. Her eyes.
That was it, her eyes. Her eyes were too bright, or maybe he was just mistaken.
The doctors prepared the apparatuses for the blood transfer, while they all
sat there silently. They've already thanked her for what she was doing. Quatre
asked her name because he was willing to reward her with anything she wanted.
She just made a little laugh and grinned at Quatre, "Seeing your kindness
and bond to your friend is enough reward for me. Names are not necessary."
She then closed her eyes and let the blood flow out of her and into the veins
of the boy beside her.
Heero almost swore that he saw her glow, but when he blinked his eyes, she was
just lying there, with a little contented smile on her lips as if giving her
blood was the best thing in her life.
Wufei felt warmth envelope him as the blood was transferred. He felt protected,
comforted, loved and alive. He had been aware of everything, he could hear everybody
and he wanted to open his eyes to give his gratitude to his donor. But his eyelids
were still to heavy for him to lift, and so he just left it at that. He would
thank her the next day when he woke up.
The blood transfer had been successful, Wufei would wake up anytime the next
day. And they asked the girl if she wanted to be moved in a private suit, Quatre
would pay for everything but she said no. She was satisfied with where she was.
They all had to go home eventually, so they left and said their deep thanks
to the girl to whom they owed Wufei's life.
The next day when they visited, Wufei was still sleeping, but the other bed
was empty. Sally walked in to do her daily check up when Duo asked where the
girl was. Sally just frowned and said the girl wasn't supposed to leave yet.
She asked someone outside to look for that girl and bring her back to the room
because her injuries from the accident haven't completely healed yet. After
that, she went to Wufei's side and checked how he was doing. He was doing great.
"He'd be back in shape in no time. We should really thank that girl; we
owe her a lot." Sally said with a smile.
Wufei then stirred and opened his eyes slowly. He immediately looked at the
other side of the bed to thank the girl who saved him, but he found an empty
bed. "Where is she?"
"How did you know she was a she?" Duo asked, confused.
"I have ears. I heard you all talking yesterday but can't open my eyes."
Wufei snorted.
Duo just grinned and crossed his arms, "Yup! Definitely Wufei. Welcome
back to the living, Wu."
And they all started kidding around and just plain thankful for Wufei's second
chance at life. Wufei still wondered who was the girl, he had asked them if
they knew her name but they said no. Her voice sounded familiar, but he just
couldn't put a name to the voice. He just thanked her silently, hoping that
good fortune befalls her.
Wufei kid around with them for a while, enjoying his new found life. Somehow,
he felt that he wasn't alone anymore.
Heero talked to them occasionally, then he looked up at the glass windows when
he felt that someone was watching. He thought he saw the girl again smile at
them, but she wasn't there right now. He frowned. He really should take the
vacation offered to him by the Preventers. He was starting to see things that
weren't supposed to be there.
And somewhere in heaven, a little girl giggled carrying her puppy.
