Chapter Four
In the Hospital...
A nurse was walking around the ward, checking on each of the patients and when she came to Anna's room she pushed open the door and as she looked at Anna she dropped her clip board. Anna was drenched in sweat and was breathing very labouredly, her heart was beating at a nearly impossible rate. "Doctor Uematsu!" the nurse called as she ran down the hall to get him. "Yes, Mika?" "Your patient, Miss Kyouyama... she's in trouble, hurry!" Doctor Uematsu followed Mika quickly as she ran down the hall.
When he got there he was almost as shocked as the young nurse Mika was. "Mika, go and get some ice packs now," he felt her forehead and she was almost smoldering to the touch, "And a fever reducer in a syringe." "Yes, Uematsu-sama," Mika replied quickly as she ran out of the room.
Doctor Uematsu looked empathetically, all alone and there was nothing he could do to help her. His mission as a doctor was to make people well but there seemed to be nothing he could do for her. To give her sedatives could cause her to go into a permanent coma or could be fatal in her current state, so all he could do for her was try to cool her down and calm her. "Poor girl, your parents don't know how ill you are," he said in a very soft, soothing tone as he placed a cool washcloth on her forehead and stroked her hair out of the way. Then a shock of realization came over him, "The boy, no one called him, I gave him my word I'd call his school if there was any change."
At that moment Mika walked back through the door with another nurse at her side, "Here are the things you asked for Doctor Uematsu." "Thank you Mika," he said taking the items from her, placing and ice pack on Anna's head in place of the cold wash cloth gently and began preparing the syringe, "Tell me, the boy who was with our young Miss Kyouyama, did he leave a way for us to contact him?" "Yes, sir," the other nurse spoke up. "Then would you please contact him, he was so concerned about her," Doctor Uematsu paused for a moment as he injected the medicine into Anna's arm, "At the time I didn't see a lot of reason to worry so I sent him to school and told him I'd call if there was any change but forgot to ask for his phone number, these horrible shifts are dulling my mind." No sooner had he finished his statement the other nurse left the room. ----------
"Asakura Yoh to the front desk please, Asakura Yoh," the intercom blared, Yoh stood up quickly from his trance, being used to Anna nearly making good of her threat to kill him when he didn't respond immediately to his name being called. His heart dropped a little when he glanced at her desk, seeing it empty and knowing that right now she couldn't attempt to kill him but he went to the front desk anyway, might as well considering he'd already stood up. When he got there, there was a girl who appeared to be in her late teens standing there in a white nurse's uniform, "Hello, Yoh," she greeted him. "Do I know you?" he asked curiously studying her eyes, something about them seemed familiar but he couldn't put his finger on it. Her eyes were brown, her hair was light brown, she was only slightly taller than Yoh and was built a lot like Anna, in fact she resembled her a lot, but everyone and everything reminded him of Anna right now. She smirked, "Never can tell, I came here from the hospital to get you, I saw you last night and I got your name off Miss Kyouyama's file." "Oh," his heart sank even lower as he studied her face in awe a little longer, "Is Anna okay?" he asked. "Well... I have reason to believe that she might be," her smirk faded, "I... she really needs your right now Yoh." "This morning when the nurse that's usually assigned to that ward was making her r-"before she could finish her sentence her beeper went off and she glanced down at it. "I don't have time to explain, we've got to go now," she said as she took his wrist and led him out of the building. ------------------------
Yoh and the nurse at the hospital...
Yoh nervously and quickly followed the nurse whose name he still didn't know. When they got to the door of Anna's room Yoh looked at her, her body temperature had cooled some but she was still covered in sweat and the machine that measured her heart rate was beeping wildly, her heart rate had become fast and erratic. "What happened to her?" he asked the nurse but as he turned to her he felt a cold eerie chill and she was nowhere to be seen. Doctor Uematsu who was by Anna's bedside thought Yoh was talking to him and replied, "We don't know, just a little while ago our nurse Mika saw came to check on her and she was covered in sweat, running a high fever, hot to the touch, and she was moving her head from one side to the other as if she was struggling against something, probably having a nightmare due to the stress her body's under." "Or being ill because of the nightmare," Yoh mused, finally starting to feel as though his suspicions about Anna's sickness being beyond physical confirmed. "What?" the doctor asked a little puzzled. "Nothing," Yoh replied, taking a seat on the other side of Anna's bed, taking her hand gently. She looked so helpless, the Anna he knew wasn't supposed to look this way.
Doctor Uematsu studied Yoh's expression as he looked at Anna's face and smiled slightly, "Well, until we know more about what's wrong with her the people that love her are the only medicine we've got. I tell you what, she doesn't seem to be contagious and I think being with you calmed her just by feeling that you're here with her, so I could allow some of her other friends to come in here but only a few at a time and you must be quiet and very careful. Do you think that might help?" Yoh looked from the doctor to Anna and back at the doctor, "Yes, Mister..." "Uematsu." "Mister Uematsu," Yoh repeated. If Yoh was right and it was spiritual Anna having people that cared about her around her would help more than Doctor Uematsu would ever know.

End of Chapter Four. I'm probably just going to go back and forth between Real World POV and Anna's Dreamworld POV. I have an idea about how I wanted to get the Tao family involved but am not sure how exactly I am going to orchestrate it. I was thinking on centering their involvment around Ren. Also anyone care to guess who the mystery nurse is? She'll play an important part in this... I think. I'm going to quit babbling for now. Review please! Bye!
Shaman King fandom piece of knowlege I gained this week: I finally figured out all of the characters and remembered their names. The only one I have yet to know I think is Lyserg... still not clear on who or what he is. Yoh and Anna fans read a fanfic called Anna and the King. I really like it so far.
P.S. Okay so I'm weird I used the surname of the guy who does the Final Fantasy music as my doctor but I couldn't think of anything else that's not plastered all over the other animes I like.
