Alright first off thank you so much to all of you who reviewed my last chapter as well as previous chapters and thank you all for your comments. I hope you all enjoy this chapter as well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Weiss Kreuz, never have and I am pretty sure that I never will.
Chapter summary: Basically a continuation of last chapter. Its starts off still in Yoji's flashback and in his POV. I have no idea how long this story is going to end up being or what exactly is going to happen. This is one that is definitely writing itself so hopefully you all will stick with me and let me know what you think. Well got off topic of the summary. Sorry. Anyway on with chapter .
Warning: The language in this chapter is a little. The F word is used 2or 3 times and there are a few others in there. Just wanted to warn you in case it's an issue, though overall I don't he language is that strong.
Chapter 5
A few minutes passed before all of my wounds were treated and I was bandaged up. Omi has started falling asleep and there was still no word from the doctor on Ken's condition. Aya has returned to his previous state of staring at the floor lost in thought. I wish I knew what was going on in his head. What was he thinking now, especially after Ken's confession?
After what felt like a lifetime the doctor stood up and cleared his throat to gain our attention.
"As I am sure you all are aware, Siberian's condition is not very good. In fact he is incredibly lucky that he is in great physical condition or he probably would already be dead." He paused seeing our grim faces and turned to Birman for permission to continue. After her nodding in consent he continued. "To start off Siberian is suffering from major blood loss…"
"Yeah, tell us something that we don't know already doc, or get out of here." I fumble around trying to find a cigarette to calm my nerves, even though I knew I wouldn't be able to light it in here.
"Balinese shut up. Don't blame the doctor for your teams screw ups. If you should be mad at anyone it should be yourselves." Birman's comments broke Aya out of his thoughts and back to the present situation. He quickly strode over to her giving her the death glare, as I like to call it. She just smirked snidely back at him. I really do hate this woman sometimes.
"Are you saying that the mission's outcome is our fault? I am afraid you are sadly mistaken. If your people in Kritiker would have given us accurate and up to date information than all of this could have been avoided."
"So you still want to blame your team member's stupidity on us? It's his own fault that he got injured." Birman frowned as Aya raised his hand as if he was going to slap her, but I cut him off.
"First of all we were completely professional on this mission just like we are on every mission. The only stupidity I see is your fuckin' higher ups who could give a shit what happens to us. As you already heard Ken got most of his injuries covering our backs." I generally hated yelling at a woman, but this was an acceptation, she has no right saying that about Ken.
"Well then that's Siberians fault now isn't it." She stressed his name drawing attention to the fact that I hadn't used Ken's codename. I personally could have given a shit. "If he had just worried about himself and the mission objective like he was trained to do instead of fretting over your well being then he might have faired slightly better."
"What! How dare you…."
"ENOUGH!" Omi's voice boomed above my own. We all turn and look at him, slightly shocked at his sudden outburst. "This is not the time to be fighting. Just let the doctor get through what he has to say," Then he turned at looked pointedly at Birman, "and then while Weiss takes time out to recover you can go and tell Kritiker to go fuck themselves for all I care."
I for one could not believe that that outburst really had come out of Omi, but a small smirk crossed my face as I looked over at Birman. She had a look of total and utter disbelief. I bet she never thought that one of Kritiker's 'lowly' assassins would ever have the guts to disrespect her like that let alone talk about the organization in such a way. After a few minutes of stunned silence the doctor shakily cleared his throat.
"Um where was I… Oh yes on top of blood loss and the obvious bruises Siberian has also accumulated two broken ribs which have been wrapped and gun shot wounds to the hip and shoulder. As for his hand, I think he may have a chipped bone in his wrist, but I cannot be sure without the proper equipment to examine it. However I can be sure that nothing was surprisingly broken. His stab wound is fairly serious though. There was some muscle damage but only time will tell how severe it really is. He may need physical therapy for it, he may not."
"His legs are in pretty good shape. Aside from a few scrapes, bruises and a sprained knee they are fine. Onto the more worrisome injuries, lets just say he is very lucky. From what I can tell right now his skull is surprisingly unscathed and there shouldn't be any real damage to his eye. The nasty gash and a concussion are all that has occurred. Thinking of which Bombay I would like to look over you next." As he moved towards Omi he addede, "But I highly stress sending Siberian to one of Kritiker's hospitals for observation."
Aya was quick to speak up "He is staying here with us."
He moved back over to Ken's side. Something really weird is going on in his head. I have never seen Aya act like this towards anyone other than his sister. I make a note to talk to him late about that. Sometimes I find it so hard to believe that Ken really loves him, but it looks like there may be hope for little KenKen after all.
"As a medical professional I must stress that it would be a wise idea to transport Siberian to one of our medical centers." The poor doctor tried again. Man this guy is clueless.
"Why so you can screw with his medications to easily get rid of him and then blame his 'untimely' and sudden death on injuries just to make it so you don't have to put one of your teams on hold so a member can recuperate. Then you will ever so kindly send us a replacement. I don't think so." When did our resident iceberg become so lively and talkative I wonder.
"How dare you accuse Kritiker of such misconduct" If Birman was mad before she was fuming now.
"He is staying with us and that is final." Aya glared defiantly back at her.
"Besides," I add tanding up and moving to stand next to Aya, "We all know how much Siberian loves hospitals." I stress his codename knowing it would get under Birman's skin.
Omi continued with that thought, "Last time he was there we had to put guards in his room so he wouldn't bolt and hell that was just for a few stitches he needed on his leg from falling onto a dumpster during a mission."
"Yea, Ol' soccer boy actually wanted us to stitch him up here with no pain killers or anything just so he wouldn't have to go there" Birman was about to respond but Omi beat her to the punch.
"Isn't it true that he should be in a relaxed and comfortable environment so he can heal faster? If he gets stressed like that again it may take much longer for him to recover and may in fact cause more harm." Thank God for Omi's logic, that kid really is a genius.
There was a long pause. All of us knew that Omi's reasoning, no matter how true it may have been, had a slim chance of working, but as our dear Kenken always said, 'Never lose hope in what you truly desire, always fight for it' and this time that appeared to have paid off.
Birman sighs and then looks sternly back at us, "Fine he can remain here, However the doctor and either Manx or myself will be back every couple of days to check on him."
"Thanks babe I always knew you had a heart." I answer giving her a wink. My actions make me the target of her glare, but after living with Aya 'King of the death glares' it doesn't even phase me.
"Let's go" With that Birman turned and stormed up the stairs followed closely by the doctor.
Injured, exhausted and down one member, Weiss was left wondering what we were to do now.
TBC!
Ok sorry that took a little longer than expected to get out. Work is really killing me, I have to bruises to prove it. Sorry to end it there but I really wanted to post something so you all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. Anyway the next chapter is done I just have to type it up. It will hopefully be up soon if all goes well.
Next chapter will be more interesting. Points to look forward to are Yoji confronting Aya on his feelings towards Ken, some Ran/Ken moments (YAY! ), and the conclusion to Yoji's POV (I think). Chapter 6 may have some of his POV too but it will not be the whole chapter.
Kirei Aya: Thank you for your review I hope this chapter was long enough for you. Please let me know what you think of this chapter as well.
Bhidaka: Thank you so much for you comments. I am really glad you like it so far. I am sorry that I made you cry (hands a tissue). As for a happy ending… well only time, and more chapters, will tell. Thanks again.
Nekosune: YUM! Thanks for the cookies, Pocky, and the review. All of which are greatly and happily appreciated. I am glad that you found my story. You actually inspired me to post this when I did. I remembered that I was almost done typing it when I got your review and decided that I needed to post the 5th chapter. So here you go. I hope you enjoy it.
As a final note I am sorry for any typos and such I hope I caught them all but you never know I may have missed a few. It is like 1 in the morning and my typing skills have seemed to have left me right now.
Thank you for reading and please review and tell me what you think!
