Anyhow, on with the story! (note: It'll be short since my computer is frizting out on me! gah!)

Snowy Fear, Chapter 7:

Heero opened his eyes and the first thing he realized was that he was assaulted by a very strong light. He blinked and opened his eyes when he saw that he was once again in the hospital. He sighed with relief when he was able to move his hands and realized he wasn't strapped down to an observation table. Ever since, hospitals had a long lasting impression on him. Not to mention that it resembled what he went through in Dr. J's lab, but he shook away the thought with a shudder.

He pulled himself up, noting that there was only a dull pain in his torso and he swung his feet over and onto the cool tiles of the floor. He got to his feet and smiled internally when the room didn't sway in his vision or anything. He stretched slightly, feeling a tug on the newly added stitches but paid it no heed. He rolled his shoulder's as he took his shirt and was about to throw it on his when he stopped. He looked at the red stain on the shirt and sighed as he threw it back down, currently useless for the time being.

He sat back down on the bed and glanced at the beeping machines that were blank from not having any life form attached to it anymore. He turned the machines off as he decided to look back at the door. He was about to get up and leave but stopped when the door opened and the borders and the owners of the Schooner Inne walked in, obviously worried.

"Heero!" Mrs. Shevvington exclaimed happily as she walked into the room frantically and happiness etched into her actions. "We were all so worried!" She said with exasperation.

"The doctor's patched up your wound." Mr. Shevvington said calmly, though Heero could tell that he was also concerned by the way he slightly fidgeted. "It shouldn't bother you for a while."

"Thanks." Heero said quietly. "It must cost a lot for the bills…" He said, not really caring for hospitals at all.

"Not at all." Mr. Shevvington replied easily. "The woman paying for your intuition also paid for other things and left a great deal amount of money with us for your necessities." He explained.

"Well," Anya said quietly, drawing attention to her as she blushed at the attention she received. "We should be going now…maybe…"

Mrs. Shevvington flashed a smile and then she ushered Heero and the other's out of the room to the desk where the head nurse sat.

After flashing a kind smile and then signing some wavers and forms, the patient, who was "cured" left the door feeling much better. Hell, it was nice not having to jump out of the window. He walked as if he wasn't even injured at all.

"Are you feeling better?" Anya asked sweetly but quietly in her usual tone. Her cheeks seemed to be getting rosier, which that by itself was good to see. She acted almost like a doll around the Shevvington's. It was kind of creepy to Heero.

He nodded to show he was indeed much better, words not being his strong point, and felt the eyes of everyone on him. He glanced back and quirked an eyebrow at the action of Michael and Ben who were looking at him in awe. Dolly, seeing as he was looking at her, ran up to his side and grabbed his hand, jerking it back and forth in a repetitive motion.

'It's good to see everything is back to normal.' Chrissie sighed as she felt a blush creep into her cheeks when she caught the eyes of Heero and continued staring at him after he looked away.

Maybe things will get better, She concluded silently as she was in such a daze that she didn't hear the hushed tones the Shevvingtons were talking in and looking at each other with knowing looks so that the soldier wouldn't catch onto them.
