Chapter 2
Usagi awoke in a hospital bed feeling very weak, but somewhately rested. She stretched her arms wide, and winced at a slight tug on her left inner arm near her elbow. She looked down, and saw that there was an IV needle taped to her arm and was imbedded under her skin. Being the aichmophobic (person w/a fear of needles and injections) that she was, she screamed.
"Aiiee! Itai! Itai!" Usagi yelled out at the top of her lungs. Two doctors and all of the scouts rushed into her room to see what was going on. When the doctors saw her trying to pull out her IV, they called in two orderlies to hold her down whilst they gave her a sedative to calm her down. This pissed Haruka off severely.
"Iie! What are you doing! Nobody treats Koneko that way! Get off of her!" She yelled at the oderlies, and went at them. By the time Setsuna, Makoto, Rei and Michiru had restrained her, one orderly was unconsious with a black eye and the other had a black eye, busted lip and a broken nose.
"Please, Miss Ten'oh! We are only trying to calm her down and keep her from pulling out the IV and other wires! The sedative will help her get the sleep that her body needs to recover!" One of the doctors, a female, told her sternly. "If you can't act calmly, then I'm going to have to ask you to leave." Haruka pursed her lips and jutted out her chin in a small act of defiance, but nodded in agreement.
"Fine." She said. Michiru shook her head with a slight smile on her face, and patted Haruka on the head, earning herself a glare from the latter.
"So, umm, Dr. Po, when can Usagi leave?" Rei asked the doctor.
"She can probably leave later today, if you make sure that she gets alot of rest and eats healthly." Dr. Po said, looking at Usagi's stats chart. "Yes, she could probably leave now if you wanted to get her back home." Rei looked at Setsuna uncertainly.
"Oh, actually, we don't live around here. We just arrived here, and we need a place to stay. Could you recommend any good hotels, Sally? We're kind of short of money, but I can get a job to solve that problem." Setsuna asked, giving a small, sheepish grin to Dr. Po.
"I can do better than that, Sets. I know some guys that have a huge mansion- enough room for twice the size of your group- and they owe me a few favors." Sally stopped, a big grin growing on her face. "A few big ones, actually. I'll just give them a call and tell them that you're going to stay there for however long you need, and then you can go head on over there." Sally gave a reassuring smile at Rei, who looked extremely uneasy about the idea.
"Well, if it's okay with your friends, then I guess it's okay with us. It's not like we have any better ideas, right 'Ruka?" Michiru said with a slight shrug. Haruka nodded stiffly, still a bit miffed at being repremanded earlier.
"Okay, then I'll go give them a call now. I'll be back in a minute, girls." And with that, Sally left the room to call her 'friends'.
