Chapter 14:

I stare open eyed at my hands, which are trembling slightly. Blood cover both of them. I don't know when it happened, but when I cough again, more covers my palms. Kurama looks at my hands, then back at me. My blood drips to the ground through my fingers.
My throat stings, and feels wet for the first time. Thick blood trails down the back of my mouth. I look him in the eye.
"You need to drink something. Now."
I shake my head. "Not that...I can wait..." He turns around, and rushes to the water. Kneeling over, he swallows the liquid. Quickly, Kurama jumps up and runs toward me. He grabs a hold of my arms, and pulls me in close. Pressing his lips against mine, he forces me to drink the water.
Reluctantly I swallow, but don't really want to let go. I needed some one to be close to, always. Maybe it was because I was an only child. What ever the reason be, I needed close friends and family to always be there. When we part, he speaks, "When I told you that you had to drink, I meant it."
I wipe my hand on my already blood stained pants. Kurama moves in front of me, and starts to walk away. I stand there and watch him for some time. "Is it over now..." He turns around, just as I hear a gun shot. Something pierces my arm, and I gasp. Kurama stops immediately, his eyes widening. I watch in horror, and as if it was the Matrix, he slowly kneels over, his knees hitting the ground with a painful thud.
His body bends, lifting his chest and neck forward, but his head was tilted back like he was looking toward the heavens. Blood starts to pour out of the center of his chest. I stand in the same spot, and watch in horror. Slowly, I change my glance to a woman standing in the ruble. One of her arms is straight out holding a pistol. It was centered on Kurama's falling body. She smirks, and pulls it back.
Shoving the end into a gun holder that was around her waist, she begins to talk. "Have fun trying to find a hospital in time you stupid girl. I've been watching you, and if you do not find civilization soon, you will die a painful death as well..." She pushes a button on a box she had in her other hand, she tells me one last thing. "Seeing American's deaths, only makes mine more worth while. "
A suicide bomber. I run at Kurama, and crouch down in front of him, just as I hear the blast. Dust flies everywhere and I hear her tortured screams. I cry out as pieces of things slice my back, and hunch over lower, covering Kurama's body.
I struggle to lift him up, and his eyes roll back down to normal. "Kurama!" I shake his shoulders violently, kneeling in front of him. He inhales sharply, and I hear his staggered breathing return.
He tries to speak in vain. Nothing but a choked whisper comes out. I lean my head in the area between his shoulder and neck. "You have to stay awake Kurama..." I struggle to get up, and tell him to lean against me.
Hopefully all my training in Martial Arts would help out now. I sure as hell never noticed my self getting any stronger. They only thing I had more of was bruises and sharp pains.
Ignoring the sharp pain and bleeding in my arm, I lifted him up he slightest bit and leaned forward. I trudged towards the woods once again, trying to find my way back.
I had been walking for some time when I found a building. I thank god as I push Kurama onto my back. I hunch over and run as fast as I could towards it.
People in the streets had directed us to a hospital. They thanked me, for what reason, I don't know. As I approach the building I slow down, feeling dizzy. I had lost so much blood on the way.
My legs gave out just as I entered the emergency room. "Please! Help him....!" I yell out just as I fall to the ground. A startled woman runs to me. My vision blurs, but I can hear her talking.
"Help him...I'll be fine..." I mumble, and motion to Kurama. A few men take him from my back, and rush him down the hall in a stretcher. My legs hurt so bad, but I chase them, into an operating room.
Just as I get to the door, it opens, and a woman steps out. "You must stay out of the operating room for now, he's in critical condition." I shake my head no, and say something. I don't know what It was, but I knew I needed to get in.
"Ma'am. You need to calm down, I will tell you when we are done. Stay out if the room." Se shows me to a chair, and as I try to sit down, I pass out, and hit the ground.
