His fingers lightly tapped against the edge of his seat. His eye's narrowed, he growled, he didn't have time for this. Yet, a few years ago he would have been shocked to hear himself thinking like this. So rude, he was begining to sound like his own Yami. Something he most definately didn't want to become. A voice inside the young white haired man spoke and he could almost imagine it as his smirking Yami's face "Oh but that's exactly what you have become." He shuddered, outwardly and the man in front of him looked up from his writing. "Something wrong Ryou?" Asked the man. He was tall and thin, older than Ryou but not too old, he had black hair, cut neatly and glasses shielding green eyes. Ryou nodded Silently.
There was little more than ackward silence between them.
This mans name was Vincent and After Ryou's most recent episode, as they had called it, they had requested him to see if he could get to the root of his problems. But nothing could help him. He was certain of it. Nothing except knowing that she was safe, to be able to see her and hold her in his arms... to know that she wasn't as broke as she was the last time, his Yami had gotten to her. "Your lying, I can tell it." Spoke the man silently.
"Oh you can? how?" Ryou glared at him silently knowing it was true. He had never been able to lie, there was just something in his eye's that stopped him from doing so.
"I just can. I can tell when a person is a very poor liar." He answered emotionlessly
"Let me guess I just look to innocent to be a good Liar, well maybe having someone believe that your innocent is the biggest lie of them all." The man chuckled "Maybe. Now Tell me exactly what is that's bothering you?"
"I...I- just want to know if someone is here...if someone I love is safe."
"Oh really who?" Vincent asked the boy as he looked towards the floor uncertainly.
"Her name is Danielle Crawford." Vincents Eye's widened 'She's in the hospital? for what? another suicide attempt?'
"Why would she be in the hospital?" He asked keeping his face strait.
"Um...there was an accident, she fell down the stairs...er well someone pushed her." He hesitated. "I'm terrified that this person is going to hurt her....the same way he did last time." He looked at the younger man who's eye's were slowly filling with tears and sighed Vincent knew exactly what was "wrong" this boy was head over heels...for a girl who's sanity was always questionable.. but now apparently this girl had a stalker and it was driving this poor boy insane.
The black haired man closed the door to Ryou's room and walked to the doctors office down the hall. There he looked to the man and frowned. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with that man, except for the fact that he's head over heels for a girl who happens to be a patient of him. Let him go in the morning." he stated simply with a frown. Now he wanted to pay his recent patient a visit.
Kurama locked glares with Hiei.
Hiei narrowed his red eye's at the red haired teen.
Pegasus chuckled somewhere in the background "My these two certainly are competative." He remarked looking to Shiori.
"indeed."
"Go Fish." Hiei remarked rather coldly and Yusuke sighed hardly believeing the two could get so competive over a childrens game...or that Hiei could get competative over such a silly game was more like it.
"Guess the runt really is a little kid at heart!" Kuwabara snickered as Hiei glared at him "Make one more remark like that and I cut your head off."
Danielle smiled contently watching all of this. If only her life had been this simple before everything had happened. Before she had killed herself. This happy. Perhaps nothing bad would have happened, her father wouldn't have went on that stupid trip to egypt trying to revive her mother if he had just met Shiori, and she would never have been so lonely if she had had a brother like Shuuichi.
"My goodness you certainly are violent aren't you?" Shiori chuckled and Hiei simply scoffed, a snarky remark to Kurama's mother would certainly get him in trouble. The red haired girl chuckled softly from her seat on the hospital bed. "I think someone finds it more amusing than threatning." Pegasus Chuckled "Perhaps, because she knows that Hiei isn't serious with this threat."
"and you would know when I'm being serious Kurama?" remarked the demon with a scowl.
"Ahh yes, I know you all too well." remarked the red haired boy as he laid down the cards that would allow him to win.
"Ouch." Yusuke remarked, and then looked to his watch. "er...I've gotta get going, promised I'd meet Keiko at that new resturant for dinner." He said getting up and leaving. "Yeah guess I'd better get going too. See ya." remarked Kuwabara leaving shortly afterwards.
After that the room remained silent for a few seconds and Hiei stood. "I'm going, before you decide to put me on gaurd duty again Kurama." He casually stepped through the door and the red haired fox demon sighed to himself. A tall young nurse stepped into the room and looked at the three remaining. "I'm afraid you'll have to leave. Visiting hours are over." Shiori smiled softly at the girl and then to Pegasus and left the room. Kurama walked over to the girl and lightly kissed her Forehead before following after his mother. Pegasus smiled. "I'll come the moment I wake up in the morning. Maybe they'll let you leave tommorw." He smiled kissing her cheek.
Shiori looked from the drivers seat over to her son. "You kissed her, that was rather odd, your not usually that affectionate."
Shuuichi looked to his mother and smiled "Perhaps I'm just happy to have someone I can treat as an younger sibling. It's nothing more than that though...I'm almost sure of that." Shiori simply smiled. "Oh yes, tommorow afternoon Pegasus and I are going out, you don't have any plans do you?"
"No. not really. I'll stay with Danielle at the hospital...or at her house if they let her come home."
Shiori smiled at her son. "Thank you. Shuuichi, for being so accepting of both of them.
Pegasus closed the door to his house and flipped on the light. Looking around before slipping on his house shoes. He sighed softly before walking over the the couch and turning on the T.V. A chill ran down his back and he looked around suspisously. "Pegasus, your being Paranoid...nothing is going to happen." He told himself and then closed his eyes.
Elsewhere Bakura chuckled running his fingers of the window of his kittens hospital room. "Soon, I'll have you as my own. Pretty kitten."
