Chapter 5
"Doctor! We need help! Urgently!" Hakkai shouted as he ran with a lifeless Akita in his arms. "Onegai! This ojyo-san is in critical condition!"
"Oh, God. To the operating theatre, quickly! Suimasen, you have to stay outside and wait." The doctor rushed into the operating theatre to do his duties.
"Ne, Sanzo. Akita-chan will be alright, ne?" Goku glanced at Sanzo. "I don't know." Sanzo lit up a cigarette. "She should be alright. She put up with almost a day just to get here. She can't give up now." Gojyo also lit up a cigarette. Goku started to shiver. Hakkai put a blanket on Sanzo, Goku and Gojyo. "The temperature is dropping to -3°C. We'd better keep warm." Hakkai wrapped a blanket around Hakuryu and himself. He leaned back in his chair and joined the others in waiting for Akita to get out of the operating theatre.
"Da- Da- Dare ga?" Akita saw a figure in the thick mist. "Akita?" the voice said. "That voice. So familiar." She walked towards the figure. The mist started to fade. She saw a pair of blue eyes standing out against a mass of dark green hair. "Akita. It really is you. I miss you so." Muroshi opened his arms. Tears welled up in Akita's eyes. "I missed you too, Muroshi." Akita hugged Muroshi. "Muroshi." (Okay, who in the world is Muroshi?! Hahaha. Read on. *winks*)
"Muroshi. Muroshi." Akita stirred in her sleep. She felt tears on her cheeks. Then, she felt a warm hand wiping away her tears. She slowly opened her eyes. Sanzo was holding a blanket on his shoulders, standing and looking down at her. "Sanzo." He looked away.
"About time you woke up. You've been like that for 5 days and everyone has been waiting for you to open your eyes." "Sou ka." Akita looked around. Gojyo was sleeping on her right, holding her hand, Goku was on her left side, curled up and sleeping and Hakkai was beside Goku, also sound asleep. "Everybody waited here for me?" "Yes."
"Hara hetai. Ne, Akita-chan. Cook for me?" Goku stirred in his sleep. Akita smiled and ruffled Goku's hair. She turned to look at Gojyo and held his hand tighter. Gojyo opened his eyes. "Akita!" He immediately got up and hugged her, waking Goku and Hakkai up. "Akita-chan!" Hakkai stood up and his blood-stained clothes were revealed. "Hakkai! Your clothes." "Oh! Think nothing of it! I was just trying to close your wound and you bled everywhere. It's nothing." Hakkai smiled.
"So. You all just waited for me to wake up here?" "Not me. I went out to buy beer." Sanzo gestured at the pile of empty beer cans in the wastepaper basket. Akita smiled. "Goku, everyone, didn't you all eat?" "Huh, the baka zaru only wanted to eat your cooking, so he waited. Strange for him to do that." Gojyo smiled. "Hey, I can't help it! Akita-chan's cooking is great!" Goku stood up. His stomach immediately growled loudly. He covered his stomach. "Gommen." He sat down quickly.
"Then, Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai. Didn't you eat?" "I tried to make them eat a little, but they didn't have much of an appetite. I also didn't eat much." Hakkai explained.
Suddenly, the door opened and a boy aged 19 entered the room. "Ah, the patient's awake. I've brought food." He stepped in. He had a pale brown scarf on his neck and had a black belt on his waist. He had dark green hair and blue eyes. He walked halfway into the room when he stopped short in his tracks. He had seen Akita. "A- Akita." He dropped the tray of food and ran to the bed. "Akita?" "Mu- Mu- Muroshi?" "It really is you, Akita! Yes, I'm Muroshi!" Muroshi hugged Akita. "I missed you so." "So did I." Akita started to cry.
"Chotto matte, just who do you think you are?" Gojyo asked. "Uh. I'm a nurse working here and I'm in charge of handing out the food and I cook them most of the time. So, I don't get to see the patients until I serve them." "Not that kind of 'who'. I meant, who do you think you are, hugging my lil sis like that?" Gojyo frowned. (Wow, Gojyo's really protective. ^_~)
"Oniisan, this is my boyfriend - " "Ha ha, very funny."
"I'm Makoto Muroshi and Akita and I met in her god-parents' martial arts' school. Gommennasai for the poor introduction I gave myself." Muroshi said. "You're not her boyfriend, are you?" Gojyo asked cautiously. "Y-Yes, I am." "Cheh, I don't believe this! My lil sis has a lover! And I'm still single!" Goyjo groaned.
"Muroshi, these are my friends, Gojyo, my god-brother (". Cheh. Why..? Why.? Oh, hi."), Goku ("Yo!"), Hakkai ("Pleased to meet you!") and Sanzo ("Hmph.")." Akita introduced. "Pleased to meet all of you! Thank you for taking care of her all this while!" Muroshi smiled again.
"Actually, it was more of her taking care of us." Hakkai smiled back. "Sou des ka? She's like that: always like to do things the other way around." "Muroshi." Akita blushed. "Oh! Gommennasai! Your food's wasted! I'll go prepare another serving!" "Matte, Muroshi. If you don't mind, please prepare food for my oniisan and my friends." "No problem!" Muroshi smiled and closed the door behind him. ". Gojyo's jealous that Akita-chan got a lover before him." Goku smiled. "Grr. Urusai, baka zaru!" "Ma ma, the both of you!"
Muroshi was walking down the hallway. "You'll have to kill her." A voice inside him said. "Hmm?" Muroshi stopped in his tracks. He looked around him. No one. He entered the kitchen. "Think of that day, when she left without saying a word." The voice said again. "That was because of you." Muroshi replied. "Oh, now that you've seen her, you think you can defy me?" He made Muroshi pick up a knife and threatened Muroshi with its blade. "It'll be a pity to die before you kill her." "Uh. But why?" Muroshi struggled. "She destroyed my body. I want revenge." "I won't allow it." Muroshi said. "Just like that time. Don't worry. When I'm done, I'll leave your body and you'll live in so much regret that you'll kill yourself just to be with her. Forever. See? I'm helping you. Now, go prepare food for your beloved." Muroshi put down the knife. He started to cook. (Okay, you guys are like going: "Huh?!" Haha. You'll just have to be patient and read! :P)
"So, that's your boyfriend. How come you didn't tell me?!" Gojyo shrieked. "You never asked." Akita smirked. "I don't believe you!" Gojyo plopped down on his seat. "It's okay, oniisan. I'm sure you'll find a girlfriend someday." Akita smiled.
"Hmph. I doubt so because he's such a horny person." Sanzo said. "Nani?! Grr. You stupid corrupted monk!" The door creaked open. "I've brought food!" Muroshi stepped in and handed out food to everyone. "Arigatou, Muroshi!" Akita said. Muroshi helped Akita sit up in her bed. "Sigh. Since when did you get such an injury?" Muroshi rested his chin on his hands and watched Akita eat. "While fighting a stupid demon." Akita replied. ("Mm! Delicious food!" "Urusai! I'm trying to listen to their conversation!")
"Well, what did the doctor say?" "Nothing serious. I'll be discharged pretty soon." "Sou ka. Well, I gotta go now and attend to other patients. See you guys and enjoy the food!" Muroshi kissed Akita on the cheek and waved. Akita smiled after him.
"He's a pretty nice guy." Hakkai said. "His cooking is great! But I think Akita-chan's cooking is better." Goku grinned. "You let him kiss you?!" "It was on the cheek." "But still.?!" "Gojyo is jealous. Gojyo is jealous." Goku sang. "Urusai, baka zaru!" "Why don't you shut up, red cockroach?!" "Grr."
"I've got the best suggestion. Both of you shut up." Sanzo said, holding his gun. "Ma ma. It's not worth killing them now. Their souls will keep talking." Hakkai smiled. "Sou sou! Why don't you guys check into an inn? I'll be out in a few days' time." Akita said. "No! I won't leave you alone!" "Relax, oniisan. Nothing will happen." "Yeah, right! If I could flirt with you when we first met, he can do something on the first night!"
Akita smacked Gojyo. ""Ow!" 'Stop thinking nonsense! Muroshi is a decent guy compared to you!" "Let's check into a nearby inn and change our clothes. These blood-stained clothes are pretty unsightly." Hakkai suggested, looking down on his own clothes. "Hakkai's right. Let's go." Sanzo said. "I'll be all right." Akita said, waving. "Make sure you're all right." Gojyo closed the door behind him.
