JK: Sorry about the wait, people. I was a little… distracted. But we're back, and I have two more chapters to upload, so everything should be fine!

Dear Journal,
Isis-sama has informed me of 'Balder's' (whose name has turned out to be 'Rashiid', by the way, no known surname) whereabouts, and I have managed to perform a checkup. She says that he had to be hidden for his own safety, and that her brother is attempting to kill him. Well, I'm afraid that this just confirms most of my suspicions about Ishtal-san. I could have lived without knowing that at least one of the people on this blimp was a homicidal maniac. I mean, I guessed about Jounouchi-san's past as a gang member (when somebody has medical records like his, it's pretty obvious), but I think this is pushing it!
In any case, Rashiid-san is healing well. I was worried about a few of those burns, but they're all – surprisingly – fine. I have agreed to Isis-sama's request that she continue to care for him. If her brother truly is after Rashiid – and I do not doubt Isis-sama's word – then he is best left with her.
Isis-sama has also told me that Bakura-san is safe, and perfectly well. She has not, however, told me where he is, with the excuse that I wouldn't believe her.

Later…
Everybody is back on the blimp, and none of them look the worse for wear. We have just received a ship-wide announcement that we shall be taking off again shortly. No details about the crash were given, save what Mokuba-sama has told me. He said that a few old in-company rivals were out to get his brother, and that they'd failed.
That doesn't really explain things enough for my liking, but it shall have to do… For now.
Maybe I can convince one of the children to tell me the next time one of them drops by to check on Kujaku-san? At the very least, I could ask a few questions about Bakura-san. They seem to know him relatively well, perhaps well enough to help me find him.

Later…
I am pleased to report that Nurse Omi's sprained wrist, while keeping him from assisting me, is most certainly helping him with his quest to win the heart of Nurse Hana. I'm glad for them.
Stop looking at me like that! It's not like I was eavesdropping deliberately! I just happened to wait a little before I opened the door, because I heard voices. Omi-san doesn't need any disturbances when he's trying to ask Hana-san out on a date. I was being tactful.
Sadly, this does mean that Mathews-san will have to give up on his hopes for Hana-san. Or, at least, that's who I think he was walking about when he said he was thinking of asking one of my nurses out on a date. Come to think, his words were rather ambiguous when it came to gender… Not that I find anything wrong with this, if that's his preference, but I can but guess at how Omi-san would react, to either proposal.
Ah, I'm on my break, I can write about possible love triangles, right?
If Mathews-san asks Hana-san out, she'll probably politely refuse, and might tell Omi-san, a person who I once overheard threatening to rip out a person's left kidney via their throat – hardly practical, and certainly not professional, but it was funny at the time – and may therefore attempt to strangle Mathews-san one handed.
If Mathews-san asks Omi-san out, then he may just actually do the ripping out, but possibly not the left kidney.
Don't tell anybody, but there are days that I really do wonder how Omi-san managed to become a nurse, his temper being what it is. Don't get me wrong, he's a wonderful practitioner, and I have often been tempted to ask why he didn't choose to become a doctor, but his temperament is hardly suited to his field of work.
How much sugar did they put in this donut?

JK: I'm sorry about the mild shonen-ai in this chapter, but I was getting worried this chapter was getting a little bit too serious. I also just wanted to show that doctors and nurses are human too, and that some of them have warped senses of humour and a few anger management problems.
Please review, and MTFBWY!
