--------------------------------
Marth woke up in a hospital. He was in a small room with a TV, a VCR, and a window looking out towards the ugly parking lot. He was covered by a thick blanket. There was a note on the bedstand. The injured prince slowly reached for it, even moving his arm the tiniest bit sent hot pain through him. The note was written in an elegant cursive and read:
Dear Marth,
I am so sorry for what happened to you! Hopefully you aren't in too much pain. I wanted to stay with you, but you've been asleep for more than two days. Today is Monday, and they said you'd come around tomorrow. They forced me to school. A girl can't even stay with their boyfriend when he's been badly hurt! A bunch of girls at school kept asking about you. I wanted to punch them, but decided against it. Now I think I should've.
Roy is staying with me at Capsule Corp. I think my dad is going to kill him though because he never shuts up. Your brother is very worried, Marth. I hope you wake up soon so we won't have to fret anymore. If you give me a wrinkle I will kick you to the moon, injury or not! Anyway, I need to go now, but know that I miss you so much! Trunks had to drag me away from you. I wanted to be the first thing you saw, but now I doubt I can be.
Love, Bra Briefs
Marth laughed despite himself. That girl was really something. The door to his room opened and Roy quietly snuck inside, silently closing the door. He turned around and jumped backwards when he saw his older sibling leaning on his elbow to watch the scene, eyes twinkling in silent laughter.
"You need work, little one." Roy frowned.
"It worked didn't it?!" He walked to Marth's bed, examining the neat bandages around his stomach and chest. "Does it hurt?"
"Some. Don't worry about me. I hear your being annoying loud, as usual. You better shut up or your going to get a room next to me." It was obvious Roy didn't think he was being serious, but the teenager knew that if Bra was so strong he had to use a real block, and she didn't even seem to train much, her father could probably kill Roy in two seconds.
The little boy opened his mouth to say something when the door opened and a nurse walked into the room. She nearly jumped in surprise when she found Roy there.
"Out!" she yelled at him. The miniature swordsman gave a quick wave to his brother and then ran out the door. The nurse shook her head. "You have a sneaky little brother, Mr. Fugiwara*. And don't make me start about that girl, Ms. Briefs! She refused to leave, and we had to drag her away."
Marth nodded, understanding her weariness with such characters. "They are something."
"I must redo your bandages." The boy nodded and sat up, his fingers fumbling with the loose knot tying them together. He got it undone and began unwrapping the cheap white cloth from his skin, careful around his wound so it wouldn't open again. The nurse stared at him. "You know what your doing."
The swordsman looked up. "Um...Well, I get injured a lot, so I have to know about medicines and healing."
The woman nodded and took the dirty cloth from him. "Why do you get injured a lot?" She threw the bloody bandages away and began to rewrap some onto the wound. The cut itself was larger than Marth had thought. It was a deep gash going from his lower chest down to his stomach. It soon disappeared under a blanket of clean, white wrappings.
"I'm a swordsman. My father would spar with me as he would with a master of his technique, and I was always close to being killed." He sighed. "That was before he went away and died in battle."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Fugiwara. I shouldn't have asked you anything at all." She finished her job and began to leave.
"Thank you, Miss...?"
"Matsuki. Sayoko Matsuki."
Marth smiled. "Arigato, Matsuki-san*." Sayoko nodded and walked out the door. The teenager inside settled back on his pillow and stared at the ceiling. This was getting real interesting. ---------------- Bra Briefs was running out of her school building, the heavy backpack thrown onto her shoulder whacking her every couple steps, when she suddenly bumped into Goten. She nearly fell, but he caught her just in time.
"Slow down, Bra! Your gonna hurt yourself!"
"But I need to go see Marth! The doctors said he's awake now! "
"Alright." Goten grinned. "Just be careful." The girl nodded and began to run off, then had an idea. She turned around and asked,"Do you want to come with?"
"I don't know....He's probably mad at me after what I did."
"Nonsense! C'mon!" Bra grabbed Goten's hand and they started running towards the Tokuzen Hospital. When they arrived, Roy was sitting in the waiting room, sitting in a red chair, swinging his legs through the air. Bra smiled and said happily,"Hello, Roy."
The startled boy stopped swinging his legs to look up, then continued again. "The head doctor is so amazed Marth is alive, he wants to check the wound and see if it was as bad as they say it is. They'll be done soon." Goten sat down in a chair opposite to Roy and watched the busy doctors and nurses running around. After a few minutes, a man walked over.
"Hello. I'm Dr. Akechi. I'm the head doctor here and I just examined the wound your friend Marth has received."
"Is it bad, Dr. Akechi?!" Bra looked up at the old man dressed in a white coat. He laughed.
"Bad? The boy was requesting to go outside this morning when he woke up! His nurse, Miss Matsuki, says he was wrapping his own bandages. Most people wouldn't have survived the night!"
Roy shrugged. "Sounds like him. Can we go see him now?!" Dr. Akechi nodded, amazed at their uninterested faces. Mr. Fugiwara was the strongest boy he had ever seen, and they seemed to think it was an everyday fact.
The trio walked past the dazed doctor and down the hallway to Marth's room. Opening the door, Bra gasped when she saw Marth hanging out the window, about to jump.
"MARTH!!"
