Did you guys miss me? You author is suffering from depression. Although noone else knows, and she doesn't know how to make it better. I'm a terribly good actor you see. I've gone into my third quarter slump. And trust me...not doing your math homework day in and day out is not good for your grade. I took a science test today, yelled at my friend somemore, and totally shuned some other people. I'm sad, and I don't know how to get better. Well, hope you all like this chapter. Bye! And if you don't read this now, I'm sticking it at the bottom too.
***************************************************************
"Oh my. A pregnant cancer patient. Lina-chan look at the mess you got yourself into now. And how did you fall down that hill anyways? So many questions that will go unanswered for now. Let's hope you wake up in the next 24 hours."
***************************************************************
Lina watched her friends go back to the inn they were staying at. They had been looking for her, but stopped because of Amelia's incessent whining. She saw Amelia go into her room. Watched her live up to all that whining and take a bath. She saw Zel go into his room, and she watched him as he said a prayer. One for her, and one for Amelia. Amelia was abviously taking her dissapearance harshly. Then she watched Gourry go into his rooom. She watched him take his armour off. She watched him polish his sword. She stared at his face. It reflected depression, stress, and also proved he was very tired. He wasn't his usual self. Not in the least. Then he did something Lina had never seen him do. He started crying. Not like Amelia's whiny cry, but a deep cry. One she made when her father was killed. One she made when her mother broke her heart. Lina went over to Gourry, and even though she knew she was no more than a ghost to him, she hugged him. Comforted him. Told him it was best to cry. It's not a shameful thing to cry. Or at least not to cry like that.
"Jellyfish for brains. Why'd you have to fall in love with me? It would be best if you just...if you just...forget me. Bye."
"Lina? Lina...I know you're out there somewhere. Please...please tell me why you left, Lina. If I know that, I'll be more able to deal with you being gone. Just please...why?"
"Oh Gourry..."
"Lina?"
Gourry looked around everywhere.
"Gourry? You can...hear me?"
"Lina."
"Gourry...I'm right in front of you!"
"LINA!"
*Lina woke up from the dream she was having.*
"Gourry?"
"Gourry? No I don't think so. More like Dr. Kajiheru."
"Kaji?"
"In the flesh!"
"Oh my gosh...then that means..."
"Yes Lina-chan. It means you're back at the Lukimia Treatment Center."
"No...but..."
"I'm sorry."
"No...no. I was on my way here in the first place. It's just..."
"Hmmm?"
*silence*
"Oh I get it. It's about that Gourry guy isn't it?"
*Lina blushed*
"OH!!! I see...so he's the f-I mean...uh...nevermind."
*Kaji but his hand hehind his head and grinned comically while sweatdropping, no da*
:: Lina probably doesn't even know about the...well better not even say the word in case anyone reads my thoughts. Or she would've taken better care of herself. Surely! Right? ::
"The what? What were you going to say?"
"Ahhh...it was...um...nothing. Nothing at all. Just talking to myself. Just talking to myself."
*Lina glared at Kaji*
"Meanie."
"I'll tell you...uh...later! Yeah that's it. Later!"
"Right. Just as immature as you were before."
"Wha? That's an insult!"
"Wow he can tell an insult from me talking about him. So he has changed! I'm impressed!"
"HEY! Why you!"
"Geeze Kaji. Where's your sense of humor?"
*Lina started laughing*
*Kaji stares at her*
*He continues to stare*
*Lina stops laughing*
"What's your problem?"
"I've just..."
"Just what?"
"Just never seen you laugh before. I don't think I ever have."
*Lina looks away*
"Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable, Lina-chan."
"Don't worry about me."
"But I'm very worried about you. I mean I found you lying at the bottom of a ditch, bleeding, and on top of that the cancer has spread more than before. And...well there's that other thing that I'll tell you about later."
"What? You mean..."
"Yes, Lina-chan. It's spreading. There's nothing I can do. There's only one possible way the cancer can be cured. It's a bone marrow transplant. But it's very risky. Normally the giver doesn't survive, because the tools we have aren't advanced enough to the point where it'll gaurentee their saftey."
"I...I know. I wasn't even considering that option."
"Well...why not?"
"Because. My life isn't worth risking someone elses."
"Lina-chan. Think this over. It could save you. You...oh Lina-chan. Trust me. After tonight. You'll think differently about that bone marrow transplant."
"I probably won't."
"Well...here's a pro's and con's sheet one of my earlier patients made. Look it over. I have some other buisness to attend to. Sorry to leave so soon. Later,
Lina-chan."
"Good...bye."
*Kaji stepped out of Lina's room*
"That girl. She'll never listen. Nurse."
"Yes, Doctor?"
"Please see if you can find anything on a man named Gourry."
*The nurse typed the name in*
"Do you know the last name, doctor?"
"No. How many Gourry's are there?"
"About thirteen, doctor."
"Ok one minute."
*Kaji opens the door to Lina's room*
"Lina-chan?"
"Yes? What is it?"
"What's Gourry's last name?"
"Gourry? Gourry's..."
"His last name."
"Gabrieve. Gourry Gabrieve. Gabrieve that's it."
"Lina-chan? Are you all right?"
"All right? Who? I didn't think anyone was right here."
*Kaji closed her door*
"Nurse."
"Yes, doctor?"
"His last name is Gabrieve. Is there anything on a Gourry Gabrieve?"
"Gabrieve...Gabrieve...Yes actually. He's the thirteenth one here. It says he donated blood to...to...his mother I think it says. And is currently on the road traveling with a sorceress by the name of Lina Inverse. Hmmm...interesting. Wait...you don't think..."
"I sure do."
"Oh! Our Lina-chan is all grown up and on her own!!! Poor girl."
"Yes. And there's something wrong here. It seems Lina's gone into shock from leaving Gourry. Or just going into shock from being here, or something. Maybe both. Who was she closest to here when she was with us?"
"Why it was...hmmm...Shi and me. But Shi..."
"Yes. Shi dies a couple weeks after Lina left. Well...try and talk to her. See what's wrong."
"Can do Kaji. I'll try. Oh and a guy in the waiting room is waiting for you. He looks kind of suspicious to me."
"Ok. Thank you."
*the nurse opens the door to Lina's room*
"Lina-chan?"
"Hai? Who is it?"
"It's me...Nurse Shimo."
"Oh. Hello. How are you?"
"Oh just fine dear. How are you?"
"As good as a cancer patient can be. Where's Shi?"
"Oh dear...she...she died a couple weeks after you left."
"Left? What are you talking about? I just saw Shi yesterday. I never left."
"Lina-chan? What are you talking about? You're not twelve anymore. You left six years ago."
"No. I didn't have cancer six years ago. I was still living with my mother six years ago. I was still locked in our basement eating dish soap six years ago. What are you talking about?"
"Oh dear. Lina-chan, I'll be back in a few, ok?"
"Ok. Bye Shimo-chan!"
*the nurse walks to the waiting room where she finds Kaji and the visitor talking*
"Kaji-san?"
"Yes, Shimo?"
"Did you give Lina the special drug M?"
"No...why?"
"Well...according to our theories of mx+b, the drug starts working about 10 minutes after given to the patient."
"Yes I know that Shimo. Why are you telling me this?"
"Because. It's Lina ,Kaji. She thinks she's twelve again. No matter what I tell her. She believes she's twelve."
"You're...you're kidding. That's...that's not something to joke about."
"No. Kaji it's true. Go check for yourself."
"Ok. Fine. You keep this...Mr. Mettalium at bay here."
"Ok."
*Kaji walks back to Lina's room and opens the door*
"Lina?"
"KAJI-SAMA!!!"
*The Lina who thinks she's twelve launches herself at Kaji*
"Hi, Lina-san. Why are you leaping at me like you're twelve?"
"Because I am twelve, silly!"
"No, Lina-chan. You're not. You're a big girl now. You're 18."
"What? Kaji-sama. Stop joking!"
"But Lina-chan...I'm not."
