-------------------------------------------
"MARTH!!" Bra screamed. The blue-haired prince turned around. Goten grabbed his arm and pulled backwards, making them both fall down.
"Why were you trying to committ suicide?!" Bra was ready to pounce on him for making her worry so much.
"Suicide?"Marth asked, still laying on the floor."What do you mean suicide?"
Goten gaped at him."She means jumping out the window suicide!"
"Oh!" The swordsman said, finally understanding."I wasn't committing suicide! I was trying to escape from here since I'm better now. I can't stay here forever!"
In her fury, Bra bent down and slapped Marth right on the cheek. "Don't you ever do that again! I...you..."She turned away, not knowing how to explain her concern. "You need to stay here and rest. What if those men come back?!" The spun around again, and found herself only a few inches away from the boy.
"If they come back, I'm going to beat 'em all down for trying to hurt you." Bra suddenly felt bad for slapping him. Marth's cheek was red where her palm had made contact, but to her surprise he started laughing.
"What's so funny?!"Bra demanded.
He stopped. "I must have looked to pathetic last night. I felt it too."
"I'll say.."Goten said softly. Bra glared at him, making Goten think of an angry Vegeta. He backed away instantly.
Roy looked at his brother and the girl near him and shuddered. .:Girls are scary.:. He walked to the bed and looked at the clipboard showing Marth's information for the nurses and doctors. He let out a yell when he saw who the main doctor for his brother was.
"Marth! Your doctor is the man that killed Father!!" Everyone stared at him.
Marth reasonably stated,"Are you sure? He looks too young to have been that guy."
"I'm sure it is him! I memorized his last name from that night." Bra, Marth, and Goten exchanged glances at the thought of a little kid like him remembering a murderer's name. Roy didn't notice. "That soldier addressed the guy as Yasuda-san. Your doctor is Dr. Chojiro Yasuda."
Marth shook his head. "The person I'm thinking of is around twenty years old with the scent of blood nowhere near him." Goten noted that his fellow student also had amazing senses. Marth continued,"Roy, Captain Yasuda was about forty with the smell of liquor stained on his skin."
"Maybe his father is what Roy remembers." Bra suggested.
Goten looked at all the people in the room, concern written on his face. He didn't like having little kids wanting to go chase killers or teenagers that can identify smell of blood. Nor did he like the idea of Bra being involved with them. His feelings for her were renewed when he heard she was with another man, and even now that he had started to almost befriend Marth, he wished he had shown Bra his feelings when he could have.
They were all interupted from their thoughts when someone yelled,"What are you doing out of bed, Marth?!" Everyone turned to the door and Marth backed away from a nurse coming in. She had a round face framed by brown hair pulled into a ponytail, looking about twenty-two.
The woman saw the window open and asked in a loud voice,"And what is the window open for? It's cold outside!!" She looked and the four children and turned to her patient. "You better get some rest done today, miracle boy. I dunno how you did it, but I'm sure your tired."
"Right, Koguchi-san!" Marth turned to him friends. "Thanks for coming by. Good luck on that test tommorrow, Bura-chan." He grinned and she fought back the urge to slap him again.
"Don't remind me!" She stomped out of the room, followed by Goten and Roy. They closed the door and walked towards the elevators.
The nurse, Koguchi-san, looked at her patient, then went to close the window. Marth suddenly got an idea.
"Koguchi-san, is Dr. Yasuda a new doctor here?"
"Well, he arrived here last year. He doesn't say much about his past." The nurse looked out the window, her face emotionless but her eyes revealing sadness. "I heard he had a father that lives as an assassin. Some say that Mr. Yasuda killed a king somewhere in deep Japan."
"I..I see. Thanks." She nodded and flashed a smile, until her pager went off. Then she frowned, loked at it, then walked out of the rom. Marth just sighed.
.:Father...You said before you died that I should become a strong man in your name, but then you died. You left me...:. He decided to get some much needed rest.
-------
Next day, at hospital
Roy and Bra were, once again, visiting Marth. He told them about his short chat with his nurse, Ms. Koguchi. A question arose in Bra's mind and,before she could stop herself, she had asked,"How exactly did he die...?" Roy flinched and Marth remained silent for a while, laying on his temporary bed.
At a moment, she tried to withdraw her question. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-"
"It's fine. You deserve to hear. Just don't freak out. Um...nevermind about that last part." He took a deep breath, then let it out in a soft sigh. "Okay. Well, my parents, of course, where the king and queen of an unimportant town called Akanea. I'm surprised no one from here has found it, but I guess it allowed me to learn to fight with a sword instead of a gun, eh?
"Anyway, there was this neighboring village called Shimori. They were supposed to be our allies, but the king's advisor somehow persuaded him to turn against us and attacked when no one suspected. Roy was taken with my mother to a safe place guarded by lots of soldiers, but I went with my father, even though he didn't want me to.
"It was that night that I learned the smell of blood. It was everywhere. I guess I was helpful, but when my father went to see the king of Shimori, he sent me back to protect the people. He went and was killed before he could even speak."
Marth shook his head in disgust. Bra placed her hand over his and smiled weakly. "Go on,"she said.
He nodded. "Since the town was basically destroyed, Roy and I lead the survivors to a faraway town and left them there so they'd be safe. I went to go try and get revenge for the king, Roy tagging along, but we found it a little hard to get back there, and somehow wound up near this city. I think you know the rest..."
Bra nodded, not really knowing what to say. Roy stood up.
He said quietly,"I'm going to go get some food."
"I'll go with..."Bra stood up, gave her boyfriend a small hug, then left with Roy. Marth had been sitting up when he told his little story, and now he lay down, resting his head on the large pillow. He felt weariness tugging at his mind, but chose to ignore it. He had told everyone he was fine, but really every time he moved or said something, he was overcome with pain. He always ignored it, though. It wasn't that smart of him, but he didn't like worrying people.
He closed his eyes, giving in to sleep when he saw nothing else to do. .:Something is going to happen soon....I feel it. I just hope Bra or Goten can feel it, too.:.
--------
Bra was walking with Roy past the Son house. After some thought, she quickly walked up the steps and rang the doorbell. Goten soon appeared at the door, taken back by who his visitor was.
"Hey, Bra. Do you need something?" He noticed her eyes contained a certain amount of sadness.
"I need to talk to a friend. Could you come with me to pick up some food?" Some desperation in her voice made Goten grin to reassure her.
"Sure. I just need to tell my mom." He disappeared from the door, told his mom he was going out, and left the house with his dear friend that needed comfort for no reason.
"So..."Goten began, flashing a smile to Roy who had been waiting. "What's up?"
Bra shook her head. "This must sound so paranoid, but I had a freaky dream last night."
"And..?"
"And it was about Marth. When those men attacked, I dreamed of something similar to that happening the night before. Now I'm dreaming about them coming again, and this time it was so vivid!" She shook her head, as if trying to clear her head from the thoughts.
The boy next to her slowly laid a hand on her shoulder. "What happened in this dream?"
Suddenly, Bra stopped and buried her face in Goten's chest. "Oh, Goten! I saw them attacking the hospital. They tried to kill me and Roy, but Marth jumped out of nowhere and he was killed right in front of me! Kami...Am I going crazy, Goten?! Am I thinking about this too much?!" Her friend could only lay a shaky hand on her back and wish this would all turn out well.
Roy turned around. "Bra, you're not the only one having them. I had one, too. Just....I've decided that whatever happens happens. I think our minds know something bad is going to happen and they want to prepare us for it. Listen to me! You have to push it away from your mind and just be on guard!"
The girl stared at him for a while, then nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Right. I guess we should go get that food we came to get." She laughed away her depression and began to run towards a McDonalds.
.:It WILL work out. I know it will.:.
