"Dr. Kadowaki! Please, come here!" Squall shouted as he came into the infirmary. The new assistant, Naurwen, came out of one of the rooms. She took one look at Rinoa and said:
"Put her in Room 1, right there." She pointed to a small room containing a stand, a bed, and several machines.
"Where's Dr. Kadowaki?" Squall asked as he did as he was told, his voice cracked and high.
"She left to get supplies in Galbadia about an hour ago." The assistant said, without looking up. She began attaching Rinoa to tubes and machines, and doing things like taking her pulse. "What happened to her?"
"We were in the Training Center and a stampede of T-Rexaurs came through. She was hit by one of their tails, I think." Squall put his head in his hands. "I'm her knight, I'm supposed to protect her! How did this happen?" Tears began to form in his eyes. Naurwen shuffled her feet uneasily. She wasn't used to this kind of situation. What do you say to a crying SeeD commander?
"I'm sure it wasn't your fault." The 14-year old said finally, trying to comfort him. "I'll have Silver call out SeeD on the intercom to take of the T-Rexaurs, ok?"
Squall didn't reply. He just sat there holding Rinoa's hand and whispering apologies to her.
"Silver?" He heard Naurwen call.
"Yes?" Another assistant, Silver, came out of the room next door. Squall recognized her as Seifer's girlfriend.
"Go to the Headmaster's office and tell all SeeD with even ID numbers and ID numbers ending in 3 to go to the Training Center armed to wrangle up the T-Rexaurs." Naurwen said. She was usually pretty ditzy and clumsy, but she could come through in a clutch, and that's why Dr. Kadowaki trusted her.
Silver ran out of the room, shouting: "Affirmative!" over her back.
Naurwen entered Rinoa's room once again. "Commander?"
"What is it? If you're going to bitch about 'visiting hours', save it. They don't apply to me." He snapped, holding on to Rinoa's hand. Naurwen opened her mouth to retort, but faltered. Instead, she shook her head. The message Silver gave came on the intercom.
"I'm not going to explain about visiting hours. I was asking if it would be all right for me to call her friends and family. If you want, I could always let you call."
Squall stared at Rinoa. "I don't want to leave her. Go ahead and call."
"Ok. I'll leave you alone with her."
"Thanks."
About 20 minutes later, Selphie, Zell, Irvine, Quistis, Seifer, and Silver came into the room. Squall didn't even look up when they came in. He just held onto Rinoa's hand and brushed the hair out her face.
Selphie frowned and pushed her was through the rest of them, making her way to Squall. She threw her arms around him, hugging her friend tightly.
"Squally, it'll be alright, ok?" She said letting go of him. "She'll wake up and be ok and you'll be ok and everything will go back to normal. I promise." She backed away and looked at Irvine, who nodded.
"Hey, Squall, if you're hungry, I can get you something to eat from the cafeteria anytime you want, alright?" Irvine offered. Squall didn't reply, he just stroked Rinoa's cheek and silently cried.
Quistis stepped forward. "Squall, I'll have Xu and Nida take over your job for a while. Is that ok?" Squall nodded. Quistis turned and left for the Headmaster's office.
"Everyone," Zell said, "let's come back later. I think Squall wants to be alone right now." Everyone nodded and left the room. Squall held onto Rinoa's hand and whispered:
"Rinoa, please . . . be ok." He choked on his words, softly caressing her cheek with the outside of his hand. She was badly bruised on her whole body and Squall watched as she fidgeted a couple times. He stoked her soft ink black hair. "Rinoa, don't leave me alone. Not again." He softly cried and he was sure that no one could hear him.
But there were 2 certain nurses who did, and Silver and Naurwen looked at each other with identical expressions of worry.
Author's Notes: I'm not sure about this chapter. I'm not sure if it's good. Plz tell me in your review. Oh! And if you don't like me inserting myself into the fic, you can either a) quite reading the story, or b) kiss my ass! Thank you! (Sry . . . let's just say I'm a GIRL and my AUNT FLO came to visit! ^_^
