Chapter 6: Departure
"Yoh-sama... Anna-sama... I'm... Dying."
The silence penetrated the room, only to be broken by the sound of Yoh's jaw dropping solidly to the floor.
"What do you mean you're dying?!" he demanded, jumping to his feet.
Tamao looked at her feet, unwilling to meet the stunned gazes of the two other shaman. She had known them for so long... It was hard to know that this was the end.
"Faust said that I had some complications due to some medication I was taking for my giddiness." she explained, keeping the tears from her eyes. The words were there. They just refused to come out of her numb lips. At this moment, who came in but the great Faust...
"It's Faust the VIII!!!!! Not JUST Faust!!!!" he hollered to he authors who merely shrugged. He was a minor character anyway.
"Well, Miss." he smiled, the mosiac still on his eyes. His smile was not very nice either. A kind of eil smirk. I guess that was the best he could manage for something reassuring. "We've prepared a room for you... Please come with me. And the two of you might want to come along as well... Yoh-san, please help the itako. She might trip over her own feet with that gown on. Right then, this way please..."
Faust was uncharacteristically happy and bouncy all the way to the room. In fact, he skipped all the way, whistling the tune of 'Mary had a little lamb'. The room was kinda drabby. It had a big black skull sloppily painted on the door.
Tamao was lead to the bed and connected to various bleeping stuff.
"This is the drip where we kinda drip important liquids into her. This is the 'bleeper' which measures heart rates and... Oh my... Why is this SO slow..." Faust leaned over to examine the drip bag which was dripping at a very slow pace. The doctor shook his head reproachfully.
"This is too slow..." he muttered and gave the bag a great big squeeze, sending all the liquid into Tamao's arm, making it swell up like a rhino's butt. "Oops..."
"Bleep." went the machine.
"Doctor? These are the test results..." Hao reported, popping in with a large fat folder. He gave Tamao a big smirk, Yoh a high five, and Anna a good slap in the behind, for which he had a handprint in the face.
"Bleep."
Faust glanced through the papers until... "Okay. It seems you have about... 10 minutes left to live. Please say your last words."
"WHAT?????!!!!!!!" Tamao yelled, a vein popping on her head.
"Bleep."
"Now now Tamao..." Yoh assured her. "It's okay... We're here for you..." he added, grasping her hand tightly in his own. A vein popped out on Anna's head.
"Bleep."
Tamao turned to Yoh. She had put this off for far too long. And now, she could never have to chance to again. The time was right. The time was now.
She leant over and kissed Yoh on the lips.
"Bleep."
Anna's face exploded. "Calm down, Kyouyama..." she told herself. "This is her last wish. Let her have it. Besides, no use trying to kill her, she'll be dead before you begin."
"Thank you, Yoh-sama..." she whispered, leaning back onto the pillows. "I think I'll take a rest now, since I'm so... Very... Sleepy..."
"Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppppppppppp.........."
The heartrate machine stopped, sending the beeps into a long drawn tone. It kinda signified the end. A sense of finality in it all that stood for the end, the fulstop, the stoppage of a life, a friendship, an unrequited love...
(That was sooo unnessecary...-J)
(Hey, what can I say, I'm bored.-Icy)
"Aw man!" Faust complained, giving the machine a couple of violent bangs. "These machines... All made in China..."
"Bleep."
Faust gave the two stunned shaman a weak grin. "Looks like she's still alive after all..." he shrugged, poking at Tamao with a long boney finger.
"Bleep."
Suddenly...
(What's with all the 'suddenly's...-Icy)
(It's supposed to be surpirsing.-J)
(Oh my. I'm shocked.-Icy)
Hao barged into the room, hair swishing like something out of a shampoo ad. He was waving around a rather skinny bright pink file that was so bright, it seemed to give off its own light.
"Doctor! I believe this is the folder we're looking for..." the powerful shaman smiled, showing all his pearly whites like something out of a toothpaste ad. He was a walking ad. Really.
Anyways, he passed this to Faust who flipped on a pair of sunglasses before opening the file. "Hmm..."
"Well, while we're waiting..." Hao said, flipping on the tv in the corner. "Let's watch some pure, unadulterated, sensual programs meant for REAL men like us, ey bro?" the shaman continued, nudging Yoh in the ribs. He flipped on the tv to...
"WWF?!" Anna's jaw fell to the floor.
"Hey, WWF rules! It's a combination of action, drama and plenty of bullshit..." Hao protested. Amidamaru quickly covered Yomaru's ears to stop the kid from getting foul words in his head.
Faust interupted their about-to-happen argument with a polite hack and a sneeze and a burp. "Excuse me, gentlemen and lady, I have come to the conclusion that... This young lady is not in any dire situation and may be released from hospital now."
"WHAT?!" Tamao yelled, sitting up rather quickly on the bed. After all the trauma she had gone through... Well, it wasn't a complete loss. She got to have Yoh for that one second...
Suddenly...
(There you go with that 'suddenly' again! You need psychiatric help man...-Icy)
(I'm very proud of my vocabulary, thank you!-J)
... Ren barged into the room, gasping for breath.
"There is a situation in the hospital. We have to leave now."
