Chapter 14- Dead?.Dead!
"Zechs," Cat yelled.
"Everyone move, give him some room, Now!" Cat commanded sternly. Zechs face was contorted with pain and he let out a small grunt as if trying to say something. "Shhhh, don't say anything you can only make it worse by trying to talk." She turned her head to someone standing next to her. "Go call an ambulance!" she screeched.
"Use this for the blood," Kit through a jacket toward her and took off running in the direction of the nearest building with Duo following closely behind her, his hand resting on a slight bulge she hadn't noticed before in his shirt.
Cat put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding. "There's no time," Wufei pushed through, someone give me a hand. Wufei, Quatre, and Trowa picked him up gently, with Heero holding the middle of him as gently as possible.
"Here!" Zora grabbed the yellow cars keys out of Heero's pocket and tossed it to Kitty. Kitty caught the keys easily nodded and headed towards the parked cars as fast as her long legs could carry her. Within seconds a yellow blur was next to them. Zora got in the back seat and helped Zechs get in.
"Here's a blanket I found in one of the cars," Lady Une said handing the pale blue blanket to them. Cat smiled and nodded. Her face along with Trieze and Noins were sweaty and red. Zora, Kitty, Wufei, Trowa, Quatre and Cat all piled into the car and sped away. Christian ushered Leera with the rest to the remaining cars.
The yellow car arrived at the hospital five minutes later.
A/N- it would have been sooner, but remember Kitty was driving.and she had to have directions.
They ran in the front doors carrying a pale Zechs. "He's dying, help someone," Kitty yelled.
"We need a gurney down here in the ER now!" a nurse shrieked into the speaker. A gurney soon arrived and Zechs was laid down on it and rushed off to ICU.
"Now, everyone calm down," the nurse hushed. "I need one of you to fill out the necessary paper work."
"I will," Heero grunted.
"And I'll help," Quatre volunteered.
"Follow me to the waiting room," the nurse nodded and led the way.
Another ten minutes later the other cars arrived and they all piled into the lobby of the ER. "Our friends just came in here a few minutes ago," Duo said to the nurse.
The nurse smiled, "Yes are you friends of the gunshot victim too?" she asked. She got several nods in return. "Follow me please."
The smell of alcohol and death lingered in the hallway as they shuffled along. The nurse, who looked like a small linebacker, opened the door for them. Kitty was sat in a chair trying to comfort Cat and Quatre, who looked like the world was ending. Cat had a grip that was so hard her knuckles were turning white, on the pale blue blanket. The blanket was no longer pale blue, it was a crimson red all over. Part of it was hanging on the floor making a smear from the involuntary shaking Cat was doing. Zora sat on the floor hugging her knees and the rest of them occupied the rest of the chairs. The others entered and found empty places on the floor. No one talked for what seemed like an endless eternity.
Midnight soon arrived. Cat and a few of the other girls had fallen asleep from emotional torment all that time, and Quatre, wishing he could follow, didn't dare. "What in the hell is taking them so long?" Trieze asked out loud, angrily. Lady Une sat with Noin holding her hand. Noin had a cold look on her face. A nurse walked in to check on them. "LOOK!" Trieze rose quickly to his feet. "We haven't heard anything about our friend in hours and I want to know now!" he said in a dangerously low voice.
The nurse gulped hard, "Yes sir, let me find you a doctor right away," she escaped the tense atmosphere. They heard the speaker over head call Dr. Tenison's name a few seconds later.
A small man with bulging eyes and thick glasses that magnified his eyes making them look an impossible fit with his small head. "Can I help you?" he asked menacingly.
"Yes! We've been here since sundown and we've yet to find out how our friend are doing in this hospital and we want to know now!" he nearly yelled at the doctor.
"The doctor changed his tone immediately. He squirmed in his white lab coat, under Trieze's stare. "As a matter of fact we want to not only know now, but be updated every hour on the hour, got it?" he added a little twinge of madness at the end of the sentence.
"YY..eeees...sss..sss ss.ii.r." the doctor stumbled through the simple response. "We will keep you informed." The doctor tried to collect up what little dignity he had and walked out the room.
"The nerve of these people," Trieze muttered under his breath. He turned around to see more than a few stunned faces. "What!" he yelled. Everybody turned their heads to give the poor man the privacy he needed. Trieze sat down in an exhausted heap, he didn't dare sleep though, not while his friend was.hurt.
Twenty minutes later a different doctor came back to the pearly white room. "Your friend is in the intensive care unit. He has been stable for the past thirty minutes.and.I don't see why he want make a full recovery." The doctor finished off with a smile. There were many sighs of relief from all angles of the room.
"When can we see him?" Trieze asked hurriedly.
"It won't be for a while, I'm afraid. He is very weak, but he is recovering slowly. He is a strong young man and he should make a full recovery providing, nothing weakens his immune system any further. Do you understand?" the doctor asked sternly. He got sleepy nodes all around the room. "It will be at least another few days before he is in any shape for any socializing at all." The doctor left without anything more said.
"Why don't you guys go on back and get some sleep. I know you are all tired. Trieze and I will stay here and inform you on the progress he is making. I don't see why they want grant us a bed to sleep in." Lady Une tried sympathetically.
"I'm staying too!" Noin exclaimed.
"Of course, Noin. You guys go on back though." Lady Une ushered them out the door to the elevators, turning away any complaints they made.
Everyone sat in silence on the way back. Leera clung to Kitty's arm shivering slightly. Tears fell silently down her cheeks. Her face was stained with dirt and she was desperately in need of a bath and some new clothes. When they arrived, they all piled out and filed in a few at a time. "Listen!" Quatre cried softly in to the tense atmosphere. "Could we all talk in the main room, and maybe the young lady there can tell who she is and why!" he stressed, pointing at Leera.
"Have a seat," Duo offered with a smile, all he got in return was a frown and a few more tears. He gave her an odd look and took a seat of his own. A few of the girls remained standing and Quatre rushed off to bring refreshments.
Leera took a long drink from her glass and sat it back down on the delicate table. "Here let me get started for her." Kit announced, standing up. " Her name is Leera, she is the daughter of our trainer and second father, Oro. We have known each other since.well.I can't even remember that far back. It isn't the question of 'Who she is?' it's 'Why is she here?' and 'How did she get here?'" Kit sat down looking at Leera.
" Father sent me!" she whispered with finality, "Right before he died." She hugged her knees to her chest. The guys were to fixed on Leera's words to notice the glass falling. The glass shattered on the table spreading a million pieces in every direction. The sound brought them back to reality and the girls didn't even hear it. Cats hand was shaking so badly and she was so numb she didn't even feel it slip. Quatre jerked out of the chair to catch her head before it hit the table. Duo turned around to see Kit sitting in silence that twinkle in her eyes blown out like the flame of a candle. Kitty had slipped to the ground and was know crying and yelling incomprehensible words. Christian fell banging her head on the wall, rendering herself unconscious. Zora sank to the floor her face a pasty white and she stared off into space. "I'm so sorry," Leera whispered into her knees.
"Where the hell have you been?" Relena asked them all. "It took three hours to get out of that damn closet!" she yelled angrily. Relena's mouth dropped at the scene spread out before her.
"Maybe some sleep will help a little," Quatre suggested. The girls were carefully picked up and taken to there separate rooms.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" Relena asked with a smile.
"Leera," came a muffled reply.
"It looks like you and the rest have had one hell of a day, I'll be nice for once." She looked into her dirt-streaked face and felt sympathy for the girl, "Please," she held a hand out to her. "You can sleep in my room for now."
***
Leera laid in the bed listening to the rhythmic breathing, the girl made in her sleep. 'Why did you send me here father?' she asked herself mainly. Even when she did sleep it was troubled deeply.
~Dream~
"My darling girl, why are you so upset?" Leera opened her eyes to see white light filling the room around her. There was only one other person in the room beside herself. A man with graying hair and kind blue eyes that twinkled like stars.
"Father?" she cried the name out in a choked manner. He smiled and nodded. "Why did you leave me?"
"Oh my child, my time was up. Don't cry over me, no matter what I will always be there." He stroked her head with a gentle hand. "What do you think you can get rid of me that easy?" he said with a teasing tone. "Andramidos and I will always be there to help when you can turn no other way. How ever you have to do me a favor. You're older than the other girls, so take care of them and give them my love. You will need each other I'm afraid, in upcoming events," he said gravely. She stood a little straighter and held her head up higher. "I know it hurts honey, but you must be strong. I swear to you, I will always be with you all watching out for each one of you.
"Don't forget me brother," a man with a long graybeard appeared like a mist. His face was solemn, but his green eyes held a mischievous grin that betrayed the severe look he was going for.
" How can I ever forget you, Andramidos. You're a pain in my backside, you old coot," Oro said smartly. "Is that a hint of sarcasm I detect?" he asked narrowing his eyes with a grin. Leera let a little chuckle escape her lips as she watched her father and Uncle. "There's that wonderful laugh I remember."
"Leera relay what we have told you. We both love you, but it is time we go." He gave her a loving embrace, and her Uncle was next. Everything dissolved in an instant.
~End of Dream~
Leera sat up in the bed breathing harshly and smiled. " I won't cry anymore!" she whispered to the darkness. Lying back down, she slept deeper than she had in weeks.
***
"Cat?" Quatre strained his voice. "Answer me!" tears threatened. 'Why won't she answer me?' he asked himself. She lay on the bed, her face white as a sheet, shaking uncontrollably. "I know Cat.I mean what it's like to lose family." A few tears escaped his eyes. He picked her up and hugged her whispering "It's okay, It's okay." She gripped him in a fierce hug and cried into his shoulder.
"How could this happen?" she asked.
"Things just happen Cat, unfortunately we can't control everything."
"I miss my family," she cried.
"I know and I promise," he pulled her away to look into her eyes, " I will get you home no matter how long it takes."
She nodded and started crying again. "Thank you!" she wrapped her arms around his neck. He held her and let her cry until she fell asleep.
"I will keep my promise," he made a vow to himself.
***
Duo rocked Kit as she laid limply in his arms. 'What's wrong with her?' he asked himself. "He's in a better place," Duo tried. "Nothing can hurt him anymore.or chase him." Duo kissed her gently on the head, " Everything will be okay, we need you here."
Duo sat there watching the stars, rocking Kit, while she laid there staring into space. She would have appeared dead, except for the steady heartbeat; Duo could feel through her skin.
'Kit?' a voice whispered in her ear.
'Huh?' her conscious stirred.
'Come on girl, this isn't the Kit I know. You know not to worry about me. I'm never gone completely. Do me a favor and help Leera, huh?'
'Oro?'
" Yes Kitten, oops," he laughed, "I'll save that name for someone else." "Now quit worrying that young man to death, my dear!" He felt her smile slightly. "I love you all."
Duo felt her stir a little, "Kit?" he asked. She moaned a little and hugged him closer.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
Duo chuckled a bit, "You don't have to be sorry, about anything. I'm just glad you're talking again." He hugged her and smiled, while she burst into tears again.
***
Wufei placed a cool cloth on Christian's head to try and get the swelling down. "Christian wake up," she didn't even stir. He slapped her lightly on the cheek. "Please Christian," Wufei stressed. 'She could have a concussion' Wufei thought to himself. Her shoulder moved slightly and she moved her head.
"Oww!" she whispered. "What happened?"
"When you discovered the news, you fell and hit your head on the wall."
"What news?" she asked; Wufei's eyes going as wide as dinner plates.
"You don't have amnesia do you? What day is it? What month? WHAT YEAR?" he asked quickly.
A tear slipped down her cheek, "I remember now." She hugged her knees and lay in a fetal position. "How could he forget about us here," she sobbed.
"Christian, he didn't forget about you, he died. There's a big difference. Instead of feeling sad, why don't you find out why he was killed and why they still chased Leera; even into this world?" Wufei asked looking at her sternly.
" You know, I might do that. Besides crying isn't my style," she smiled as she wiped at her damp face. "Thank you Wufei," she hugged him. Wufei's eyes went wide and he was tempted to pull away. "Oh well.at least she feels better.even if it is first to my comfort," he breathed a sigh.
***
A/N - you know some of this is so sappy, even I can't believe I wrote it.
Zora continued to look pasty and remain silent, even while being interrogated by Heero. "Speak to me!" Heero ordered, "Say anything, make a noise do something." "You know I'm very good at that, I can do it too." He sat down in a chair looking at her with a emotionless expression.
An hour soon passed and neither made a move.
' Look, just try and coax her,' 'I have already tried that," thought back. ' Wait' HE's back. 'Well what can you do?' 'Hmm,' Heero got an evil smirk on his face. 'Perfect!'
Heero walked over to the bed and scooped her up. "Fine you won't talk to me. Then I'll just have to wake you up.
He looked to see if anyone was around and strolled down the stairs carrying his bundle. He walked right through the kitchen and into the girls bathing house and threw her into the pool, blanket and all.
Zora drifted in a motionless void. 'How could this happen?' she wondered to herself. "How?" she yelled into the whiteness of the void. Suddenly she started to feel cold, not just on the inside, but outside. 'What is going on?' She shut her eyes, but when she opened them again she couldn't breath and everything was black.
"Maybe that wasn't a good thing to do?" Heero asked himself out loud. Heero dived into the water looking for her.
Zora broke the surface of the water and climbed out of the icy water. "Ccccooolllddd.d!" she stuttered. "Whoo.threw me iiinn.I'll KKKIIII.llll.them." She shook uncontrollably. A head popped out of the water. Heero's blue eyes turned his stare on her. "You threw me in?" she asked rage warming her up a bit. "DON'T YOU HAVE ANY COMPASSION?" she yelled at him. "WHAT ABOUT PATIENCE?" She broke down into hysterical sobs. Heero swam to the side of the pool and lifted him self out of the water. "I used all of my patience and compassion up awhile ago," he whispered quietly and put his arm around her shoulders.
She cried into his shoulder for a few minutes. "How could this happen?" Despite the cool water his touch was warm.
"You know Zora, something happened and all of you girls know he went to a better place." Heero soothed, 'I can't believe I just said that!' Heero wondered. 'Neither can I,' Ht commented. 'SHUT UP'
"Hold on," he picked her up and set her in the spa, "This will warm you up a little." Heero turned it on and got in also. As soon as she stopped crying they dried themselves off and went to their room.
***
Kitty was still muttering things under her breath; she had finished off most of her energy a couple hours ago. ' He meant a lot to her.' "Shhhhh," he tried to soothe. He stroked her forehead and back. 'Nothings working.'
He lifted her up and hugged her. She gripped him furiously. Well at least I see life in her eyes, even if it is pain. In some of the other girls I didn't even see that.I saw nothing. "It's okay." "He's gone to the great beyond, and I'm sure he's enjoying it more than he did here." She didn't respond. So he did what he did best, he went silent; reverting to a soothing silence.
He sat up with her like that all night long. She looked out the window to see the sun rising, neither had been asleep at all. Trowa held her head under his chin. He was a bit surprised when she pulled away, looked at him, and kissed him. "Thanks for being my friend and being there for me," she hugged him and he nodded dumbly, because he couldn't find the words.

Chapter 14- Dead?.Dead!
"Zechs," Cat yelled.
"Everyone move, give him some room, Now!" Cat commanded sternly. Zechs face was contorted with pain and he let out a small grunt as if trying to say something. "Shhhh, don't say anything you can only make it worse by trying to talk." She turned her head to someone standing next to her. "Go call an ambulance!" she screeched.

Wufei placed a cool cloth on Christian's head to try and get the swelling down. "Christian wake up," she didn't even stir. He slapped her lightly on the cheek. "Please Christian," Wufei stressed. 'She could have a concussion' Wufei thought to himself. Her shoulder moved slightly and she moved her head.
"Oww!" she whispered. "What happened?"
"When you discovered the news, you fell and hit your head on the wall."
"What news?" she asked; Wufei's eyes going as wide as dinner plates.
"You don't have amnesia do you? What day is it? What month? WHAT YEAR?" he asked quickly.
A tear slipped down her cheek, "I remember now." She hugged her knees and lay in a fetal position. "How could he forget about us here," she sobbed.
"Christian, he didn't forget about you, he died. There's a big difference. Instead of feeling sad, why don't you find out why he was killed and why they still chased Leera; even into this world?" Wufei asked looking at her sternly.
" You know, I might do that. Besides crying isn't my style," she smiled as she wiped at her damp face. "Thank you Wufei," she hugged him. Wufei's eyes went wide and he was tempted to pull away. "Oh well.at least she feels better.even if it is first to my comfort," he breathed a sigh.

A/N - you know some of this is so sappy, even I can't believe I wrote it.
Zora continued to look pasty and remain silent, even while being interrogated by Heero. "Speak to me!" Heero ordered, "Say anything, make a noise do something." "You know I'm very good at that, I can do it too." He sat down in a chair looking at her with a emotionless expression.
An hour soon passed and neither made a move.
' Look, just try and coax her,' 'I have already tried that," thought back. ' Wait' HE's back. 'Well what can you do?' 'Hmm,' Heero got an evil smirk on his face. 'Perfect!'
Heero walked over to the bed and scooped her up. "Fine you won't talk to me. Then I'll just have to wake you up.
He looked to see if anyone was around and strolled down the stairs carrying his bundle. He walked right through the kitchen and into the girls bathing house and threw her into the pool, blanket and all.
Zora drifted in a motionless void. 'How could this happen?' she wondered to herself. "How?" she yelled into the whiteness of the void. Suddenly she started to feel cold, not just on the inside, but outside. 'What is going on?' She shut her eyes, but when she opened them again she couldn't breath and everything was black.
"Maybe that wasn't a good thing to do?" Heero asked himself out loud. Heero dived into the water looking for her.
Zora broke the surface of the water and climbed out of the icy water. "Ccccooolllddd.d!" she stuttered. "Whoo.threw me iiinn.I'll KKKIIII.llll.them." She shook uncontrollably. A head popped out of the water. Heero's blue eyes turned his stare on her. "You threw me in?" she asked rage warming her up a bit. "DON'T YOU HAVE ANY COMPASSION?" she yelled at him. "WHAT ABOUT PATIENCE?" She broke down into hysterical sobs. Heero swam to the side of the pool and lifted him self out of the water. "I used all of my patience and compassion up awhile ago," he whispered quietly and put his arm around her shoulders.
She cried into his shoulder for a few minutes. "How could this happen?" Despite the cool water his touch was warm.
"You know Zora, something happened and all of you girls know he went to a better place." Heero soothed, 'I can't believe I just said that!' Heero wondered. 'Neither can I,' Ht commented. 'SHUT UP'
"Hold on," he picked her up and set her in the spa, "This will warm you up a little." Heero turned it on and got in also. As soon as she stopped crying they dried themselves off and went to their room.

Kitty was still muttering things under her breath; she had finished off most of her energy a couple hours ago. ' He meant a lot to her.' "Shhhhh," he tried to soothe. He stroked her forehead and back. 'Nothings working.'
He lifted her up and hugged her. She gripped him furiously. Well at least I see life in her eyes, even if it is pain. In some of the other girls I didn't even see that.I saw nothing. "It's okay." "He's gone to the great beyond, and I'm sure he's enjoying it more than he did here." She didn't respond. So he did what he did best, he went silent; reverting to a soothing silence.
He sat up with her like that all night long. She looked out the window to see the sun rising, neither had been asleep at all. Trowa held her head under his chin. He was a bit surprised when she pulled away, looked at him, and kissed him. "Thanks for being my friend and being there for me," she hugged him and he nodded dumbly, because he couldn't find the words.
