Chapter 4 - Accidents Happen
I do not own G-Gundam, see disclaimer on the first chapter.
'Just a day,
Just an ordinary day.
Just tryin to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking towards the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize-
That everyday he finds
Just what he's looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
He said take my hand,
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams are right in the palm of your hand'

"Hey Erin, wait up!" hollered Mallory.
"Hmm, what is it?" asked Erin, switching her dance bag to her other shoulder.
"I dunno, you seem kinda depressed, what's wrong?" The 2 girls walked down a small man made path towards the martial arts area. It was already a little after 1 and they wouldn't be out of their next class till 4, leaving time for barely anything.
"Nothing's wrong, why do you think something is? Sorry if I'm kinda not a bright and happy ball of sunshine but I have a lot on my mind," Erin said. Mallory looked a little hurt at the response but didn't reply right away.
"Okay...fine. I guess I'll just see you at the next class then," Mallory picked up her pace and walked quickly past Erin and towards the end of the path, sadness filling her bright blue eyes.
"I'm so stupid...I shouldn't have taken it out on her," Erin said sadly.
'Why can't I share my emotions? I should try harder' Erin continued to walk alone, yet there was a feeling of danger in her mind. Someone of something was following her...
"Move!" Something grabbed her just as a bolt of lightning hit the ground where she was standing. Her body hit the ground and rolled with the other form a few feet, leaves and sticks getting caught in her long hair.
"Domon, Erin, are you both alright?" Rain and Allenby came rushing over.
"I am but I don't know about Erin," Domon replied as he brushed some dirt out of his hair and sat up straight on the ground.
"I am okay, thank you Domon," She went to move to stand but felt a sharp pain in her arm that attracted her attention. There was a large gash on her right arm and she seemed to be loosing a lot of blood.
"We need to get to the medical station!" Rain exclaimed. "We can't let her lose any more blood!" Domon gently picked up Erin and nodded.
"How far is it?"
"Pretty far. 20 minutes or more on foot."
"Damn, that's too long! I don't even know if they can perform transfusions here!" Domon yelled.
"That's not all, look!" Allenby pointed to Erin's left leg, another scrape was there but this one was longer and looked deeper.
"Great, we better get going," Domon said. "Allenby, go tell the others what happened."
"Okay!" She ran off down the path Mallory had taken.
"Rain, you get a head start and try to get the doctors to meet us halfway!" Rain nodded and ran off in the opposite direction.
"Domon, you know you don't have to help me you know..." Erin croaked.
"Just shut up, don't talk or you'll make yourself worse," He said in a strict tone. He pulled a shirt out of a bag he was carrying and quickly ripped it into strips. Then he tied them tightly around her wounds to use as bandages for the time beings.
"Okay, hold on," He picked up Erin on her back and began to walk at a fast pace towards the medical center.
They had been walking nonstop for about 10 minutes before Domon had to stop and stretch his arms that were beginning to become stiff.
"I wish I had God Gundam but it's scheduled for inspection today...dammit, why today of all days did someone have to get hurt?!" He cursed as he stretched his arms and neck. "Okay, ready to go Erin...Erin? Oh shit..." Erin had passed out on the ground, most likely from blood loss. Domon picked her up and started off again but he knew he didn't have much time left because she was already turning pale.
"Domon!" He looked up to see Rain coming towards him in a jeep. An ambulance was following closely behind. They placed Erin on a stretcher and rushed her back to the hospital.
An hour later Domon, Rain, Allenby, George, Argo, Schwarz, Sai Saici and Chibodee sat around in the waiting room of the hospital.
"When will they tell us if she's okay...?" Sai asked Rain.
"I don't know, hopefully soon. They wouldn't even let me see if she's okay with my medical experience..." Just as Rain said that a doctor walked out of the room in which they had taken the blonde gundam fighter.
"Is she okay?!" Half of gundam fighters that were waiting yelled.
"She stable, we fixed up her injuries but...she lost a lot of blood and I don't know if she'll be able to live without a transfusion. Unfortunately this hospital's blood bank does not have the right type for her, blood type O. We figure she'll remain in this normal state for maybe another 5 hours until things get critical."
"It's not looking good unless somebody with the same blood type as her can give her some of their own blood.." Rain stated.
"Well one of us has top have type O blood, right?" Chibodee asked.
"I do," Argo said.
"Me too!" Allenby piped in.
"I do as well," Schwarz added.
"I think that two people should be enough," The doctor said.
"I'll go," Schwarz said.
"I'll go too," Allenby said with a grin. Argo nodded at their fast decision.
"Okay the transfer will be done through veins in the arms. Miss. Allenby, you will go first, if that is alright?"
"Sure!" Allenby sat down in a chair next to a large machine that was supposed to purify and transfer blood from one person to another. She winced as a small tube was stuck into her arm but relaxed after a few moments. 30 minutes Allenby was relieved from her job and Schwarz took her place.
The system was yet again set up and the doctor left.
Erin was mouthing things in her sleep as Schwarz sat there in the room with only the sound of a light beeping coming from the machines to be heard.
"I'm sorry...Domon...Schwarz...everyone...don't...kill me instead..." Was all she said before falling silent again.
Another half an hour passed and the doctor returned.
"Would you like to go back to the waiting room?" The nurse who was assisting the doctor asked. Schwarz shook his head.
"I am fine here."
"Alright, I will return with something for you to eat and drink so you can regain some of your energy," She says as she picks up a clipboard and walks out of the room. Everything yet again fell silent.
A few hours later Erin began to wake, the blood transfusion had been successful.
"hmm..." She opened her eyes and looked around. She saw Schwarz sitting on a chair near her bed, eyes closed. Blinking she looked at the tubes in her arms and the machines that were surrounding her.
Lying on her back and staring at the ceiling she thought of what happened.
"I wonder if Domon helped me because he remembered who I am...I doubt it..." Erin thought about the brother she almost had. Domon was more her age then Kyoji was. That was what made her angry when she was engaged. Kyoji was 10 years older then she was yet Domon was only 2 years older. But now it didn't seem to bother her anymore because of how she knew, or at least thought Domon and Rain felt about each other. She liked them together.
"If only Kyoji has lived," she mumbled. "But saying if only won't bring him back, will it?" she asked nobody in particular.
"It's good to see you're awake," said the doctor as he walked in.
"Yes, it is," joined in Schwarz who was probably listening to her talk to herself all along.
"You're friends are anxious to see you," added the doctor. He moved aside and Sai came running in and pounced on the rail of her bed, keeping perfect balance.
"Uh...hi," she smiled weakly. For one of the first time in her life, she felt like she had true friends.
