The boys raced after Yusuke as he tore down the street to the hospital.

"Are you sure we should be doing this?" asked Kurama.

"Yes she's our friend, and besides I want to make sure she's alright" said Yusuke as he turned a corner.

They stood in front of a large sign that read 'SUNRISE HOSPITAL' and entered it to see a young girl at the front desk,

"May I help you?" she asked sweetly, she had baby pink hair that was in a bun her eyes a cotton candy pink shown in the sunlight, from the sun that sparkled through the window, she had on a striped outfit and she smiled sweetly to reveal pink braces.

"Yes, can you tell me where B201 is" asked Kurama as she pulled out a map of the hospital and outlined the route they were to go, he thanked her and they went down the hallway as a stretcher passed them giving them a chill.

The nurse nodded and pointed to them the room they had been looking for, the crept down the hall, stopping in front of the room which had a partially closed door they heard voices.

"Im fine geeze calm down" said a familiar voice that was non other that Ross.

"Well I just worry is all" said Jess' voice.

"Im alright I'll be home in a few days I mean"

- Knock-

Kurama knocked on the door, interrupting their conversation.

"Come in" said Ross voice as they pushed the door to reveal themselves, they looked at her with wide eyes.

She groaned "You told them didn't you" she said as Jess rose her hands in front of her face.

"But they're your friends" she said with a grin.

I know, but now they're going to worry just like you and I don't want them to" she said throwing a pillow over her face.

"Ross" she said softly.

"Don't worry about it" she said taking the pillow off her face.

"But can I talk to them alone, you don't mind do you?" she asked Jess.

"Oh no I need to get home anyways" she said hugging her friend.

"Now be nice to the nurses tonight" said Jess jokingly, Ross smiled.

"Yeah right" she said making a gun sigh and making a clicking sound, Jess left.

"Come on sit down" she said motioning to some chairs, they sat in silence.

There in front of then was Ross, her right leg elevated in a sling, her right side closest to them , she wore a blue hospital robe and a white blanket covered the rest of her, she looked a whole lot better than before, her bruises had healed, well at least the ones visible, and she had her hair in a low clip a few hairs brushing her face, her eyes looked tired though and she was connected to an I.V that had quite a few extensions to it, she smiled warmly.

" How have you been" she said sitting up more.

"I think we should be asking you that question," said Kurama, Ross smiled.

"Well" she said lifting her hands motioning to the machines and her knee.

She sighed "I had to get an operation on my knee, so that I could work they refused to employ me unless I did so, so I got suckered into it, unfortunately this is a minor surgery compared to the ones I have to have later on." She said as a nurse walked in she changed a bag on her I.V.

" Ross, im going to have to get your blood before you are discharged" She said softly, Ross clung to her arms.

"NO WAY" She yelled as the boys looked at her, the nurse sighed.

"You should have seen her when we put the I.V in" she said as she left, the boys looked at Ross.

"Shut up" she said as she shook from the idea.

"I HATE needles" she said making them laugh, she looked over at them.

"Oh im glad you find it amusing" she said as they laughed harder.

She sighed.

"So uh when, are you getting discharged?" asked Kurama through a laugh.

"Three days" she said as they smiled.

"Great can't wait to harass you" said Yusuke with a smile.

"Great." she said as they laughed some more.

-Knock-

"Miss im here for your physical therapy" she said as Ross frowned.

"Alright" she said as she walked in to the side, Ross looked over to the boys.

"I hate to tell you guys, that you have to leave but"

"It's alright" said Kurama interrupting Ross as he got up, he went to her and gave her a hug.

"We really should go" he said as he let go as Yusuke came and gave her a hug, Kuwa did the same.

Hiei looked at her, and walked away with a nod, she smiled.

"Bye" she said as the nurse came to help her out of her sling for her therapy.

They shut the door, it snapped with a click as they left for home.
