"Seto, my son, I honestly dont know how you survived"
"Master Kaiba is not your son! Show him some respect you-" Jarsh was sileneced by the look on Seto's face.
He knew what the doctor as gonna say. And honestly, he wasnt sure how he survived the attack either. He had found out that the boys who had beaten him up were friends of Anzu, the girl he had tried to save. His 'bodyguard' Jarsh had gotten into a rage when Seto told him that he wasnt allowed to harm them. But still, Seto couldnt figure out how the boys had actually beaten him up, what with all those police officers, doctors, nurses, paitents and guards at hand. And what surprised him even more was the fact that no-one had tried to help him. Not one soul. Back home, if some commener even touched him by mistake,they would be punished severly. But here, no-one helped. He was just dragged into the girls room.
That! Another thing he didnt understand. Why had she done that? Made her friends do that to him? Had he not helped her? Made her feel better? Said sorrie?
His thoughts were interuppted by a loud scream outside his room, then a crash. Seto tried to sit up to see what was going on, but was pushed back down by Jarsh.
Stupid jerk, Seto thought.
"Stay here Master, and I will find out what all this raket is,"
As Jarsh left the room, the doctor eyed Seto.
"He's very protective, sir," Seto murmured. The Doctor smiled at this, looked outside, and spoke to him.
"Well, we know that now. As I was saying, I have no idea how you survived. The boys beat you up pretty badly, you lost a lot of blood...and...well, your heart wasnt beating when you came to us. Not many people can do that you know," There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice, but all in all he sounded concerned.
Back in Anzu's room, the tensoin had faded away. No-one seemed to care who Seto Kaiba was anymore. They just put on some music, ate the food they had bought for Anzu, and acted normal. Like nothing ever happened. Until they heard a loud crash, then some screaming outside. They all knew the voice. They knew what was gonna happen in a few minutes. Tristan stood up, followed by Yugi.
"Um...didnt my Mom call me?" Tristan asked no-one in paticular. Then, without waiting for an answer, "Yeah, yeah she did. It's really important Anz, Im sorry. I'll come back later, yeah?" With this he ran out of the room. Everyone stood gaping at the door. They didnt know what to do. None of them wanted to be here right now. Not if she came in here. But that's just what happened. She did come in. Shouting at someone behind her.
" ...hell do you mean I cant see her! She's my bloody sista! You cant keep me from seein' her. I SWEAR I'll call the bloody cops on you!" Yep. She was here.
As she burst through the room, everyone backed up a bit. Mai, my (sadly) sister, was 21 now. She was obssessed with her clothes and make-up. Obssessed with her fashion, basically. She didnt usually like hanging around me and my "freaky friends", but I knew she would always be there if I needed her help or something. My friends were scared of her because she had tried to give them a 'make-over' when they had come round for the weekend. Her friends weren't around, and she was bored. Thats all I got out of her after my friends had ran out. She was quite beautiful, and had told me that I was too. She came over to me, stood where Akima had been standing (A/N:she backed away, remember?) and took my hand.
"What the hell did you do to yourself?" She didnt sound angry, she didnt even sound concerned. Just a simple question, thats all.
"Fell out of a car," I was trying to be a bit funny, but I dont think it was working.
"Whatever. Just came to tell you that Mr.Larsh wants you to do all this," she thurst a file in my hands,"as soon as you can." She left in a few minutes, mumbling something about missing a sale.
After she had left, some of the people in the room breathed a sigh of relief. Before I could open the file myself, Akima took it and flipped it open. She was reading for quite some time before Joey burst:
"Kima, are you gonna read it or not?"
"I am," she said calmly.
"I meant aloud!" Shut up.
"Should've said that in the first place." sighs
"Well-" Joey, shut it!
"Too late now!"
"Anzu! Tell her! Its not hers in the first place...Anzu?...ANZU?"
"Lemme sleeeeep!" Cant they lemme get on with it?
"Oh, were you asleep? Eh Anz? ANZ? YOU SLEEPIN'?"
Joey was quieted by the boys around him,then dragged outside.
"Well, we'll come back later. Maybe... Hopefully. Nops, we aint coming back today! Make sure you're still alive when we do come back." Anzu heard Yugi saying before he walked out of the room. She knew someone was still in the room. Akima, probably.
Since Anzu couldnt be bothered to open her eyes, she moaned. In response she knew she would get an annoyed "Hmm?" but she didnt. It was something else.
"Are you ok miss?"
Not recognizing the voice, she opened her eyes, scanning the room.
It was the guy who had come and took Seto out of the room. The driver. He looked like a respectful guy. Clean shaven, white gloves, a nice suit. Not the type to come screaming in and taking injured boys out of rooms at all.
At first she didnt know what to say, but being the chatter-box that she was.
"Hey! Can you please get me some crisps? The ugly nurse said I could have 'em." She gave him an innocent grin, and sat up. It seemed she was never reallie tierd. The driver looked at her, and then nodded.
"Cheese and Onion." Anzu said.
"Hmm?"
"The crisps, cheese and oinoin. Nothing else." She gave him another smile.
He gave her a raised eyebrow and then walked out of the room. Anzu smiled at herself, then sat up as straight as she could. She pulled out the little file that Akima had been reading. It had a few papers in it. One of them had Mr.Larsh's writing on it. 'Those're prolly the instructions' she thought and started reading. She was meant to write what it was like being in a hospital. There was some lined paper and a pencil. She started writing, not knowing someone was watching her.
