Lonely: This is chapter 2 or Truth. Again, I only own my characters.

While Cassie sulked in their room, Mel wandered the halls, trying to recall which waiting room the bird cage was located in. She walked into the main waiting room, her wolf tail swaying behind her through her paper robe. She glanced around for the bird cage, and caught a glimpse of the only person there. She only noticed one thing. He was levitating. "Hi Jin…" Mel said casually, then stared at him in awe.

"Jin?!"

He looked at her, his wide crystal blue surprised. "Why, 'ello lass!"

She blushed, remembering what a revealing paper robe she was what she was wearing.

"Er…..What are you doing here, Jin-kun?" She asked.

He frowned. "Touya…"

Mel gasped slightly. "He hasn't gotten better?"

Jin shook his head. "Actually, he passed out taday…"

Mel covered her mouth, then removed it to speak. "All this from a little cold?"

Jin shook his head. "The doc said it was pneumonia."

Mel rolled her neko eyes. "Doctors….What do they know?"

Jin scowled at her. "Well, she was obviously right. I mean, ya dun jus' pass out from a wee little cold…"

Mel glared at him. "And I suppose you also think I shouldn't be in the hospital from 'a wee little cut' either?"

"Well actually…"

Mel groaned and walked off, muttering: "You're impossible."

Mel sulked into her room and flopped down on her bed, again ignoring the jut of pain going through her arm. Cassie was in the bed next to her, the curtain closed, signifying she didn't want to talk. The cat-girl sighed, and opened the curtain. "Cassie…" She said quietly.

Cassie sighed. "What, Shoujou?"

"Jin was here…We fought…"

"Pft. Don't we all?" The kitsune replied.

"But…Cassie…" Mel told Cassie what had happened. Cassie just shrugged.

"Crap happens." Cassie replied, shutting the curtain.

Mel sighed, and slowly unbandaged her arm. She gasped. 'Jr' was scratched on her arm. The cat-girl thought for a moment. "Jr?" She thought for a moment and her neko eyes widened. 'Koenma'…She mouthed.

The neko girl pushed the curtain back, accidentally ripping it. "CASSIE!!! KOENMA DID THIS TO US!!!!" She screamed, and Miss Brown shooshed at her.

Cassie blinked lazily. "What chu talkin' bout kitty-girlie?"

Mel sighed. She was high on her medicine. Again. "Cassie, snap out of it!" And the lynx girl hit Cassie upside the head.

Cassie's grey eyes seemed more alert. "Wha?"

"Koenma must have hired the gang of dragon demons to come after us!"

"Pft…Don't flatter the toddler. He ain't that smart."

"He does have those….Henchman-y people."

"They aren't smart either."

Mel twitched. "Have you looked at your leg lately?"

"It was a gun shot, neko. Not a scratch. It's JUST a coincidence." Cassie said, grabbing her crutches.

"C'mon. We need to get some food in you."

Mel blinked, and her eyes narrowed. "That. Is. An. Insult." Mel said. "Besides…I'm…Full….Pizza……You…3 pieces…" Mel said, coming delirious. She passed out.

"Mel! Are you ok?" Cassie whimpered, and her eyes became clouded in deliriousness. "Cause….I'm not…" She whispered, and they both lie on the beds, passed out.
