The Hospital and a Chat (6)
Kish was getting very upset. He had searched nearly all of Tokyo and he still couldn't find that girl! Dead or alive, he should've been able to find her by now. He had looked in the forest for nearly 2½ - hours but had to leave when some boy came tramping through. He had looked in all of the surrounding areas, even tried listening to what these stupid humans called a radio to see if a badly hurt kid had been found. Nothing. There was nothing to be found, no girl, not a single clue not even her bike or backpack. It was almost as if she had disappeared.
Flying past some buildings not caring for the startled expressions, Kish looked over all the people. He looked closely at each face but never found Ari's. It was just barely morning and the sun was starting to rise creating enough light for Kish to see every face perfectly as if they were in the full light of noon.
A little light or no light it was still cold and Kish had been out all night searching for Ari and so, stopped in his work. Kish hovered over a vent where hot air was coming out. 'I could be watching Ichigo right now if it weren't for this stupid, STUPID girl!' he thought to himself warming his almost numb hands
'No. I wouldn't be watching Ichigo. I promised myself that I would give her up after my one last try. ...But my last try was tampered with so, maybe it didn't count.'
A passer-bier threw some money towards Kish, thinking he was homeless. Looking up Kish shot a death glare at the person, mostly because of his bad mood, then treated as homeless. "Stupid humans." he muttered to himself "Stupid Ari! Of course I can't use her
as an excuse to do another last try, it would've ended in the same way."
Again Kish went into a small debate with himself about if he could or couldn't try one last time to get Ichigo.
Sirens snapped him out of his thoughts. Looking up from where his eyes had locked onto during his internal struggle, he watched a white ambulance speed closer to him. 'Sucker' he said to himself 'humans, always getting them selves hurt. And their medical system doesn't work nearly as well as ours.' As the ambulance roared by he got a glimpse of the person inside from the back window.
That was her! It was Ari!
Shooting up from where he was standing Kish followed it to a nearby hospital. So she was alive, well that was good. Pai wouldn't kill
him after all. His good mood was soon spoiled as he watched a broken, scraped, cut and chard girl get wheeled out. She was conscious and talking to a boy that was walking along the stretcher. She was even smiling! But to Kish the smile looked partly forced, maybe the boy next to her couldn't see that because of the light. It didn't really look like she was really hurt, but Kish saw that in her eyes there was pain. He wondered how she was even alive not caring why she was masking the pain.
"Strange little thing," he muttered to himself "Very strange. I should probably leave her here. Although she won't get better for a long time with human medicine, our healing system wasn't made for humans. She would probably die from shock and lack of energy if we treated her." with that Kish left going back to
his ship to report.
Ariana sat up in her bed trying to ignore the unending pain. Forcing a smile upon her face whenever a doctor or nurse came in wasn't too hard for her, and the pain seemed to lessen when she did so. Joe had kindly volunteered to phone her friends and family for her, being as one arm was sprained and the other was burnt. He was outside the building trying to get a better reception. All was quiet and she was getting rather bored when she heard a loud noise from out side
the hall.
"I don't care if it's not visiting hour! We're going to visit!" shouted a familiar voice. Very soon after that a pissed-off cookie and Rasa walked into Ari's room.
"Idiot! What did you do this time?" Rasa asked glaring at Ari.
"Do you know what you have done? I have to enter a..." Cookie shuddered. "HOSPITAL!" She spat out with distaste. "You know how much I HATE the hospital!"
"I know, but Yay! You guys STILL came! Thank you but I really didn't expect you to. You're both so very kind!" Ari said as if she weren't in the hospitals emergency section, and very faint from blood loss.
"Oh my gosh!" cookie exclaimed after seeing the huge burn on Ari's arm "What happened? I know you can't cook but it's very hard to get that sort of burn even if it was a very big frying pan. And you have a lump on your head the size of an apple!"
"You can't even ride your bike home without getting hurt now? Are we going to have to see you home safely every day from now on until were old and wrinkled?"
Rasa said picking up the clipboard at the end of Ari's bed.
Raising an eyebrow she began to read Ari's disorders out one by one.
"You seem to be suffering from a sprained arm, broken leg, a big swell on her head, blood lose from many deep gashes and your left shoulder plus part of your back has been very badly burnt." While Rasa was reading this cookie's face grew more and more horrified.
"What did you do? And at 4:00 in the morning!" she asked getting very concerned over her friend that she had thought had just cut a finger and fainted from look of blood.
"See that would be most of the problem. I really don't know! I remember being at a picnic talking to some people about why they shouldn't be violent and then that's it." Ari said simply.
"Well there you go!" Rasa said, "You probably pissed one of the picnickers off. God knows you piss me off with those speeches!"
"How did you get to the picnic or did you just randomly walk over to the people and start talking? Wait... do you remember what the people looked like we can ask them if they know what happened."
"Oh, I think I fell down a hill. That's how I got to the picnic. And no I don't remember the people. My memory is kinda foggy 'cause I erased it."
"You fell down a hill," Rasa repeated "then you erased your memory, AGAIN! You really are hopeless. Normal people don't go around ERASING their memories. They keep them so they know what happens in their life! You are completely hopeless!"
"I do." said Cookie silently.
"Hello! I be back from talking to all ya friends and family! Your parents 'll be over when it be da visiting hours. Oops!" Joe said walking into the hospital room "Didn't know your friends were here. Don' it say no visiting till 1:30?"
"Then why are you here? And speak properly!" Rasa hissed
"I was gonna leave as soon as I told Ari here, sorry." He said not wanting to offend Ari's friends.
"Well you said that so you should be going then." Cookie said not even bothering to look up and see who the new comer was.
"Cookie, Rasa please be nice," Ari pleaded "He's the one that helped me out.
Cookie, Rasa meet Joseph. Joe, meet cookie and Rasa.
"COOKIE?" Joe asked after hearing the introduction "It's a long story," replied Cookie as she looked up.
"Joan? Hey! I almost didn't recognize you, cause your pretty, and not FAT any more!"
"What was that!?" cookie asked in shock that someone said she was fat in the past. With that she plucked the clipboard out of Rasa's hands she thwaped Joe over the top of his head
"Ya don' remember me? We were in da same school in England." Joe said. He then turned to Ari and proceeded to explain forgetting about Rasa and not really caring about cookie. "Ya see me and err. Cookie—"he was cut short by Ari "Cookie and I" she corrected
"Sorry, cookie and I used to go to da same school. Den one day she said she was leaving for Tokyo. Now three years after I find out me parents and I am also moving dere. Didn't expect to run into ya, cookie. Unfortunately dey couldn't come until one more year. So I be an exchange student from England for da time being until me parents are able ta come over too."
"Yes, yes now I remember you." Cookie said, "You were that ruby kid. Your father owned a huge ruby, which he named Natasha and would never let go of it. Even when he was near bankrupt he wouldn't sell it and it was stolen so many times. I remember that you had to skip school at least twice a month to go out find the ruby and get it back."
"Well now dat you've brought it up might as 'll say it." Joe sad kind of nervously "Ya see I came over here just to find it and me parents are coming later because they want to start living where people don' know they own one of da biggest rubies in da world. Da only reason I found Ari is 'cause she was lying right near by Natasha."
"I guess that was just to be expected" cookie sighed
"Oh, I see!" Ari said now very cheerful "so you'll also be our friend? You can hang around with us!"
"No he can't!" Rasa and cookie said together
"Hehehe! Cookie ya seem ta have gotten tougher. And much better looking! I remember when ya could wolf down an entire box of Cookies and now ya be all slim!"
Cookie raised the clipboard threateningly and Joe shut up immediately but was hit over the head by Rasa anyway. "What, did u live my life or something, to know that?"
"Idiot" Rasa directed at both Joe and Ari.
"Well Ari I guess cookie and I will be going. You seem to be doing just."
"No she isn't." cookie said "But we do have to get to school so we'll visit you after and see when you'll be getting out of the hospital. Kay?"
"Oh but I won't. You're doing just fine on your own." Rasa said. She then looked over towards Joe who she had seemed to have forgotten "You'll be coming with us. No bothering her! Ari needs her rest."
"Rasa could you please come and visit after school?" Ari whined to her friend.
"Oh! And could you give this note to the principal to explain why I'm not at school?"
"No. I also have work to do" Rasa replied strictly.
"But... But Rasa! You could bring me my homework. Please come visit me." Ari tried again determined to get her friend to come back. She kept on whining and annoying Rasa so much that finely she gave in and agreed to come.
"But for no other reason then your consistent whining am I coming!" Rasa said vainly trying to defend her spot.
"Sure, sure" Ari said with a huge triumphant smile on her face "Thank you Rasa! Thank you cookie! Wish me luck on getting better soon!" she said as cookie herded out a slightly defeated looking Rasa and Joe who was still rubbing the spot where Rasa had hit him.
The now very happy and very content Ari settled back on the bed and tried to get the rest that Rasa had said she needed. Why she felt happy when she had so many disorders was beyond her. Maybe she was just really hyped up on morphine. She didn't really care for the reason, she was only thankful that she was happy and joyful instead of in great pain and being depressed like she knew she should be.
Blocking out all the noise from the hustle out in the halls Ari closed her eyes and drifted into a deep sleep.
Seeing that the visitors had left and Ari gone to sleep Kish decided it was safe to go in. He slid open the hospital room's window and hopped into the room. Landing on the tiled floors made no sound because of his cloth shoes and the sleeping girl. Walking over to the bed he looked down onto her.
Why had he thought that nearly killing this girl would help him? Kish sighed, he seemed to act very stupidly when he was near Ichigo or when something had to do with Ichigo. Maybe it was best that he had told himself that that was the last try. Because of Ichigo he had nearly killed this girl who had probably only wanted to help the measly little world she lived in.
She was so badly hurt, yet full of life. How had she even lived through what he had done? He picked up the clipboard that the friend called cookie had set down on the chair and scanned over it. The injuries were minor compared to the death he had aimed at when he had attacked her.
Pai had sent him back to find the girl and put a low-class ointment on her injuries. This ointment wouldn't take too much energy out of her and in a week all her cuts and that burn would be gone almost without trace. Then they could proceed with their backup plan. After placing the ointment on Ari's cuts and burn he opened the window and got ready to leave. A noise from where Ari was sleeping stopped him. To his dismay when he turned around he saw a wide-awake Ari sitting up right and looking at him with a question in her eye.
"Hello." She said as if she didn't recognize him "I'm sorry but I don't believe I know you. You look partly familiar but I don't know where from." She didn't recognize him?! Some of her most recent memories should be of him and she couldn't remember! This girl really was odd. Kish wondered how she ever got good on test with a memory like hers. "Ahh... then I don't want to bother you, and I'll be going now." He said this time seeing if he could exit be the door instead of the window. She may not have commented on his clothing but everyone else would. Maybe he would just go quickly into the room next door then leave by that window. "Oh wait! Please don't go." Ari said hoping that the boy would stay "Want to talk for a bit or are you in a hurry to go to school? My friends just left a bit ago so if you want to be on time then I guess you would want to go."
This girl had to be the strangest human ever. She didn't even ask why (or WHAT) he was doing in her room and she didn't seem to care about the way he was dressed. He could be some psychopath off of the streets doing whatnot and she would probably invite him to have tea with her some day! The girl had too much trust and faith in people. But it was odd. Kish actually felt SORRY for her!
Weird little thing, she was. 'What the heck' he thought to himself slumping down into a chair near the bed.
"So you're not going to school today?" Ari asked somewhat confused. "Hmm? Oh no, its Friday and my... school... is umm, going on a retreat to today at
1:30. So I don't need to be there until then." Kish replied wondering to himself why he said that.
"Oh! A retreat! That sounds like fun." Ari said smiling "I hope you have fun, you and your friends! Ah... by the way I know I've met you somewhere but your name seems to be alluding me right now. What is it?"
"It's... Keshic, and thank you. I hope my... friends... and I will have fun too." Kish didn't know why he had given a fake name. He felt that if he gave his real name then she might remember what had happened, he didn't know why he didn't want her to remember.
"Keshic. So Keshic where're you going on your retreat?" Ari asked.
She started a long conversation talking about many things. Ari never cominted on Kish's strange clothing or his odd ears. And Kish stayed away from the topic of what had happened to her. Ari asked many things and talked a lot. Then she noticed that Kish talked only about his friends that were boys and wondered if he had any female friends.
Not caring much for phraseology Ari asked:
"Do you have a girlfriend?" not meaning what came to kish's mind.
Kish became very quite and looked embarrassed, wondering why she was asking such a personal question. Of course Ari didn't understand, so she just carried on another conversation. But Kish was still left with a sense of unease. Soon it was 1:00 and Ari noticed that "Keshic" would be late for his retreat.
"You should be off now so you're not late! It was nice talking to you!" Ari said he slipped out the window. 'He's going to hurt himself soon if he keeps doing that' Ari thought to her self as she drifted into a deep sleep, being free from her pain.
