Hospital Blues 3

Okay, okay! Jesus!

I'm getting a lot more reviews than I expected! I opened my mailbox this morning and found that I had only 2 reviews to go until I had to update! And I hadn't even come close to finishing this chapter!

I'd like to thank all the people who understand the spacing problem. I found out why it isn't working, but not how to fix it. Apparently, the tab key made the site crash. Go figure.

If you don't understand a piece of this, e-mail me the part. And I wish someone would tell me the next time I screw up something important, like the summary! (I spelled Funimation as Funiamtion).

I hate to admit this, but this story's going to be longer than I anticipated, and I'm going to have to raise the bar on the number of reviews. I have to go to school, and I'm failing math horribly! (Two straight F's and an F on the midterm are killers.) Damn teacher's all about memorization, nothing about practical application, and I have adhd! Also, he's inconsistent. He keeps changing the plan of the day, from tests every day to notebook checks to tons of homework, to some other lame-brained idea. I'll stop boring you now and go onto the story.

"Yusuke…" Growled Hiei. "You're not lost, are you?" He asked rhetorically, already knowing (and fearing) the answer.

"Er…no." Said Yusuke, forcing himself to sound confident.

"Then tell me why we've gone past the front desk twice, the orthopedics room four times, the escalator thrice, and haven't seen an elevator yet!" He shouted.

"Relax, Hiei. Think of sweet snow." Kurama said, trying to play peacemaker. 'Great.' He thought. 'From the most feared demon thief in the spirit world, to being a mobile childcare.' He thought bitterly. "Oh, and Hiei, WATCH OUT!" He shouted.

The warning came a little late for our favorite vertically challenged demon, who had been too busy glaring at Yusuke to see that he had just run into Kuwabara, who was now on the ground, crutching his leg in pain.

"You little brat!" He growled, shakily getting up on his crutches. "You did that on purpose!" He accused, pointing at Hiei once he was stable.

"Maybe I did," Said Hiei nonchalantly.

"Don't ignore me!" ordered Kuwabara, pushing the wheelchair back with one of his crutches.

"I don't listen to fools. Go ahead, talk all you want, but I'm not listening." Said Hiei. Kurama half expected him to start singing 'I can't hear you'.

"Fine! Not listening?" asked Kuwabara, a spark in his eyes. Kurama took this as a bad sign, and though he didn't say anything, he felt compelled to wheel back a little bit.

"Not a word." Said Hiei defiantly.

"Yukina and I are engaged," proclaimed Kuwabara, causing Hiei's emotionless mask to develop a rapid-twitch. "We're going to get married next week. Imagine the wedding! Yusuke, you're the best man. Yukina suggested that Kurama be the flower girl. Guess who the bridesmaids are? Botan, Genkai, and of course, you, Hiei!" He said with a malicious grin on his face as he saw that Hiei was now completely shaken up.

'A lot of people think he's an idiot, but he notices a lot of things, like how Hiei gets wound up over him being with her.' Kurama analyzed. 'Of course, then again, he is an idiot when it comes to realizing that there are lines that he just shouldn't cross.

Hiei was now seething with rage, shaking with a fury that rocked the wheelchair side to side until it threatened to come apart.

"YOU WHAT?" He bellowed.

Kuwabara promptly shut up in favor of turning on his crutches and gimping down the hallway as fast as he could, Hiei wheeling behind him in hot pursuit. However, this pursuit was short-lived when Hiei crashed into a shiny, steel door at about 15 M.P.H., knocking both him and the wheelchair on their backs.

A silence followed the events, until Yusuke spoke:

"Hey, he found us the elevator," he said, pointing to the steel door that Hiei had run into.

Actually, I don't know why I made this a chapter, even though it is a really really small one, it doesn't flow that well into other chapters so I had to end it there. I'm not sure what to do after everyone wakes up and gets visits, though I have a few ideas.

I had originally planned on skipping the whole 'finding the cafeteria' scene and zooming ahead to when Touya wakes up, but I kept getting ideas. Oh, and who is Touya? He's not an OC, FYI. He was on team Masho during the dark tournament. I just had to have someone who was really naïve. Jin was too excitable, and Chuu (the Aussie in team rekuyoukai) was too liable to get drunk, and just didn't fill the role that well. I'll have them pop in for a visit…if I get enough reviews for it. (catch my drift?)

This is sort of a rush job, I know, but I have a huge headache and need to go to sleep for a bit, even though it's 1:29 P.M.

I also finished this the moment I got the final 2 reviews. Okay, fine, whatever. It's still a prototype, and I'm just too tired to really care right now. This season's flu takes a while to get over, since it comes in 2 stages, being really sick, then just having all the symptoms without the aches.
