Chapter 30
Yoh cringed as he felt the heat of his blood pouring out of him. His eyes remained shut. The shock and pain consuming him. It was freezing and he was hungry. " Am I...going to die here?" He whispered to himself. " No...I can't give up yet...." He sighed as he heard a door slowly open and a soft pitter patter of foot steps coming down the stairs *~ Oh god...am I going to get beaten again...*~ He thought as he bit his lip in fear and coughed more blood up.
" Its ok...I'm not going to hurt you..." A gentle but frightened voice cooed in his ear. " It was a good thing Mansumi was asleep..." She whispered. Yoh sighed in relief feeling a warm cloth pat his face. He cringed as the woman cleaned his wounds and bandaged him up his eyes still remained closed and his mind was in a haze. " Its ok now..." She whispered lifting him up. " I heard everything....you love him...you love my Manta..." She brushed back his hair. " I'm not usually this nice...I..can't be that way around Mansumi..I'll lie and tell him you escaped if he asks me...please...take good care of Manta...I'll have to go to court about this.." She explained.
" But...what if he hurts you too..." Yoh coughed weakly.
" Don't worry about me...you love my son...and its probibly best that he leaves here...I'll drop you off at the hospital..." She said as they reached the doorway. Yoh nodded cringing as he was slowly dragged and put into the front seat of a car.
" Arigatou...Mrs.Oyamada?" He thanked her then asked feeling unsure.
" mm...thats right..." She nodded.
*~How could such a nice woman be married to such a creep...*~ Yoh thought as he heard the car pull out. " Manta and I can finally be together..." He said aloud as he blacked out once again.
" Its good you took him here once you found him...if he was left alone all night he would have definately died..the wounds on his back are very deep and he's lost alot of blood he'll need to be in intensive care for a few days.." The doctor explained.
" I see..allow me to pay his hospital bill then..." Mrs. Oyamada said softly handing the doctor her credit card.
The sun rose and Manta remained waiting on the couch asleep while Horo Horo and Ren had gone to bed long before. Manta opened his eyes and rubbed them his chest hurt as a pit sank into his stomach. " Y...Yoh-kun's....still not here..." He whimpered as more hot tears ran down his face. " Where are you....Yoh-kun..."
Anna lay in bed sleeping silently as Pirika and Tamao lay next to her. Tamao sighed wide awake looking at Pirika. " Wonder what happened to Yoh-sama..." Tamao whimpered. " I'm sure he's fine.." Pirika yawned replying in a rather cranky voice.
" I have a bad feeling..." Anna murmered grabbing more blanket to keep warm.
" as much as we care for Yoh, its not our or Anna's problem anymore...he chose to leave the house and do what he wanted to do...he's not Anna's responsibility anymore..anyways..." Pirika said.
Anna coughed angrily then felt a bit sad as she could see Yoh's robe laying on the bathroom floor across from her room. *~ You're such a niave idiot*~ She thought closing her eyes.
" Hmmmmahhh....this is not good..." Ryu sighed " Better make the girls something special to eat this morning.
" Will that really help their spirits...I have a bad feeling about Yoh too...I can hardly sense his life force...its barely even there..." Amidamaru noted feeling very very worried.
" we should try and find out...whats happened to him..." Ryu replied looking worried.
Yoh opened his eyes weakly as he looked around the room. He lay in a soft white bed and the TV was on softly a remote with a wire was to his left side. As for him he needles stuck into his arm and a heart monitor stood beside him. He sighed closing his eyes again. " Was I wounded that badly?" he asked himself opening his eyes again and slowly reaching for the assistance switch.
" So hungry..." He murmered. "What happened...how did I get here?" He tried to remember but his mind was too foggy and he couldn't consentrate he had obviously been treated to a high dosage of pain killers.
" nnnn.....Manta-chan.....please be ok..." He whispered staring up at the TV. He turned it off and instead fell asleep to the music of Bob Love.
Manta sighed curling up into a ball as he watched Horo Horo cooked something for breakfast that smelled sweat. The sound of Ren singing softly in the shower could faintly be heard under the running water. The sun was shining and it had been a beautiful day. Not even the many books Ren and Jun owned could coax Manta out of this depression he had fallen into. Yoh was no were to be found and he felt sick to his stomach. Horo Horo whistled a melodic tune as he flipped the pancakes and swayed back and forth as if dancing at a night club. Manta smiled a bit then stared blankly at a plant that sat in a red clay pot on the rug. A small orange striped Kitten wearing a red ribbon walked by then tumbled onto the floor attacking a small pink string. It's blue eyes looked up at him and purred then meowed as it ran into the kitchen hearing the sound of a can being opened. Horo Horo smiled then blushed slightly noticing Manta had seen the Neko.
" I bought it last night and hid it in Jun's room..thought Ren should have a pet...havn't figured out what the name the squirt yet though.": He said trying to sound remotely quiet then went back to whistling.
" Sounds like a nice idea.." Manta smiled grabbing the small burgandy quilt and wrapping himself in it to keep warm.
" Geez your cold? It's already spring...sure the nights still get cold but oh man..is it hot!" Horo laughed. Manta stared at him noticing he was wearing black shorts and a sky blue muscle shirt that almost matched his hair.
" Don't worry so much...I'm sure Yoh will be alright...he's gotten into even worse situations before right?" Horo Horo looked at him.
" I just don't understand how something like that could have happened..." Manta cried.
" I know...shocked me too when the Hospital called...but..nothing we can do about it now but pray...I guess you could ask what happned when he's better but untill then we should give him his rest...say...why don't we go visit him this afternoon?" Horo smiled gently at Manta.
" Ok..." Manta whiped the tears from his eyes. The kitten mewed and jumped up onto the couch kneeding its paws into the quilt.
" Heh...he likes you.." Horo winked. then skreitched as the edge of one of the pancakes began to burn . Manta laughed a bit.
" Just like you Baka-chan to not pay attention to what you are doing!!!" Ren huffed as he walked out of the shower drying his hair.
" Well atleast I'm not butt-neked. Nakey-chan!!!!" Horo yelled.
" Ugh what is with you always calling me weird ass names!!!" Ren snarled.
Horo Horo shrugged " I don't know...but you gotta cute toosh there!!!" He laughed loudly then snickered. Ren blushed.
" Shut your trap Blue-boy!!!" He walked into his room and shut the door.
Anna sat at the table eating her piece of rhubarb pie and drinking her iced tea.
" Anna-chan...why not visit him in the hospital then..." Tamao suggested.
" No I don't think I will..." Anna replied coldy.
" I don't think Anna should..who knows she might beat him up worse if she goes there..." Pirika whispered.
" Want anything else Anna-san?" Ryu asked shakily..
" No this is very good Ryu...thankyou you may go visit Yoh at the hospital now..." She replied. Ryu nodded walking out the door with a crying Amidamaru.
Yoh cringed as he felt the heat of his blood pouring out of him. His eyes remained shut. The shock and pain consuming him. It was freezing and he was hungry. " Am I...going to die here?"
