Kyla: Heylo, again people! How was the last chapter? I've had the idea for Danielle to get hit by another car for a while.
Hiei: I can't believe you had your character get hit by a car... What's wrong with you?
Kyla: Nothing.
Kurama: Hm, well... It was an... interesting chapter nonetheless.
Hiei: -rolls eyes- Let me guess, I'm going to be all emotional and crap?
Kyla: I don't know yet...
Hiei: -growls in warning- I'd better not...
Kyla: And what, pretell, would you do about it?
Hiei: -scowls- Something you wouldn't like.
Kyla: Liikkkeeee?
Hiei: -thinks- -smirks- Hn, I'll delete this story off your computer then go and delete it off Simple as that.
Kyla: -is shocked- You wouldn't dare...
Hiei: Wanna bet?
Kyla: You would... -groans- But, Hiei! -whines- It's MY story!
Hiei: So?
Kurama: Alright, everyone, calm down. Hiei you will not follow through with your threat.
Hiei: -scowls- Why do you always take her side?
Kyla: Aw, poor Hiei... You want to do the disclaimer today? -pats short demon on the head-
Hiei: -shoves hand away- No.
Kyla: -mushroom sigh- Okay, Kura, how about you?
Kurama: Sure, why not?
Kyla: Thanks!
Hiei: Hey! Why can't I do the disclaimer!
Kurama and Kyla: -mushroom sigh-
Kyla: Gr... -gets into another fight with Hiei-
Kurama: This is becoming too much of a habit... But, anyway, Kyla does not own Yu Yu Hakusho and probably never will, and she has only $11.00 so please do not try to sue her. You will not get that much, really.

A Trip to the Hospital

Kurama absently glanced out the window as he walked by it and murmured, "Dani sure has been gone a while..." He frowned in thought but shrugged it off and turned to the couple sitting on the sofa.

"I'm sure she's fine," Hiei snapped irritably, his arm draped around Amanda's shoulders comfortably, but to him, this didn't just feel right. Something was wrong, but he shook his head slightly to send those suspicions away.

"I hope so," Kurama sighed and walked into the room Kuwabara and Yusuke shared and found the two sacked out on their beds. He heaved a frustrated sigh. It was already 3:00 p.m., and they were still in bed! "Yusuke, Kuwabara... Wake up," he said gently and shook the two boys awake. They sat up reluctantly and glared at the redhead. "Honestly... What did you two stay up so late doing last night?" Kurama asked with a quirked brow.

"None of your business," Kuwabara grumbled and rubbed his eyes sleepily. They Yusuke and Kuwabara looked at each other with wide eyes, and they simultaneously shouted, "We weren't doing that!"

"Doing what?" Kurama asked in amusement, quite enjoying himself as he watched the two boys blush, their faces burning crimson.

"Uh, you know... that that," Kuwabara murmured and clutched the covers over himself. He and Yusuke thought that Kurama thought that the two had been doing something naughty they shouldn't be doing, and they were angry that Kurama-- of all people-- would have those kinds of thoughts.

"I didn't know your mind worked that way, Kurama," Yusuke snapped and glared at the yoko, who leaned his head to one side curiously.

"What way? All I asked is what you stayed up so late doing last night. What's wrong? Do something naughty," Kurama suddenly smirked, realizing what the two thought he was thinking. He knew that they had not been doing anything like that last night, but, hey, they brought up this assumption.

"WHAT!" the two teenagers squaked and nearly fell out of their beds as they waved their arms around furiously. "No way, man!" Kuwabara yelled and waved a threatening-- well, not threatening... as if Kuwabara could ever really hurt Kurama; the redhead's too smart for that to happen-- fist at the yoko.

"Yeah, ew! Gross, Kurama, that is so wrong!" Yusuke shouted, "Me and that Idiot over there! I don't think so!" The raven-haired Spirit Detective jabbed a finger at Kuwabara with his nose wrinkled in disapproval.

Kurama chuckled and turned to walk out of the room, as he had heard the phone ringing. "Relax, I know you were up playing video games until sunrise this morning," he smirked over his shoulder. The two teen's faces paled then they began shouting insults at the yoko, who rolled his eyes and sauntered over and answered the phone. "Hello? Breaks Residence. Shuichi speaking," he said politely into the receiver.

Yusuke and Kuwabara had sulked into the room and plopped onto the floor to glare at the redhead who was talking away on the phone, but their scowls fell from their faces as Kurama's mouth fell open, shock and worry working their way onto the redhead's handsome face.

Hiei noticed the Detective's and Idiot's looks and turned his head to Kurama, whose voice had floated over, sounding worried, "Oh my... How is she?" the yoko asked quickly and took a deep breath, closing his deep, emerald eyes as worry overtook him. "Oh... A-Alright... Well, thank you for calling and telling us," Kurama muttered to the phone and added a good bye before hanging up the phone.

Everyone else in the room had their eyes trained on the king of thieves, and Kurama slowly turned to face them. He breathed in deeply then said in a shaky voice, "Danielle's been in an accident... She's in the hospital and comatose..."

There was a round of gasps, and Hiei jumped to his feet. "That isn't funny, Fox," he snarled, hoping it was some kind of cruel joke, but Kurama turned his head away and said it wasn't a trick. "What are you talking about? Of course it's a joke. Danielle isn't... she can't..." Hiei's voice began to trail off as all words failed him. Somehow, deep down, he knew it was true because Kurama would surely not joke about something so serious...

"So, Danielle had a wreck or something?" Yusuke asked quietly, unwillingly breaking the thick silence. He couldn't believe it; it was all too surreal.

Kurama responded by saying, "I suppose so... The nurse didn't say much... She said we should come to the hospital..." He just stood there, in shock, but Hiei meanwhile glared at the phone, as if blaming it for all this.

"Oh, my... Danielle," Amanda choked back a sob; she'd had a family member to die in a car accident, and she didn't want that to happen ever again.

"Well, what're we waiting for! Let's go to the hospital," Kuwabara exclaimed angrily, mad at everyone for just standing around. His voice shook everyone from their thoughts and shock, and the others nodded.

"You guys go on... She's really close to you," Amanda said, grabbing her purse and beginning to look for her keys. Kurama told her she was welcome to come, but she shook her head and smiled a little, "I'd hate to intrude... And you are her best friends! Just go to her and watch over her, okay?"

"Of course," Kurama agreed and grabbed the keys Danielle had given him a week or so ago. Kurama had even went and got his license, just because he could, and he always said, "You never know... It might come in handy if more than just Dani has a license."

Outside, where the cars were parked behind the house, Amanda and the guys separated, Amanda climbing into her small, tan Cavalier and the guys piling into a dark blue Eclipse. Kurama drove off towards the hospital with Hiei in the passenger seat and Yusuke and Kuwabara in the backseat.

After parking the car, Kurama, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Hiei hurried into the large building and went straight to the main desk, where Kurama took the lead and spoke for the other three. "Hello. I am Shuichi Minamino... I got a call that... Danielle Breaks was admitted into the hospital?" he asked politely, voice calm and collected.

"Ah, yes... She's still with the ER doctors... You'll have to wait. Someone will be out shortly to talk with you," the nurse said kindly, giving them a comforting smile. Kurama thanked her and led the way to the waiting room, and the four boys sat down. They remained silent, not really up to talking, and that suited them each just fine.

An hour passed, and still no news. "Why isn't anyone coming out to talk yet?" Hiei growled, looking murderous. He crossed his arms over his chest, fists clenched, and had one leg over the other. He was in his impatient stage, and that was not good, especially if a human were to make the unfortunate mistake to try and "comfort" the little fire demon.

Kurama sighed and replied saying, "They're probably still busy, Hiei." He was also getting annoyed with the lack of knowledge of what was wrong with their friend, but he remained calm, on the outside at least...

"Who is here for Danielle Breaks?" An older man called out over the people sitting in the waiting room. Instantly, Yusuke, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Hiei stood up and made their way over to the doctor, who led them out of the waiting room and deeper into the hospital. He stopped in front of an elevator and let the four go before him, then he too got into the elevator and pushed the 3rd floor button.

The doctor led them down a long white hallway and came to a halt outside Room 312. "Now, Danielle is still comatose, but we hope she will awake soon," he said to the small group, whom had gathered around the doctor in worry.

"Sir, what happened?" Kurama inquired in a soft tone.

"Yeah, what's wrong with our friend?" Yusuke snapped with his don't-mess-with-me stance, arms folded over his chest and eyes glaring.

"She was driving down the road, and someone driving a red mustang wasn't paying attention. When they headed straight for your friend, Danille tried to swerve to one side to avoid the other car, but she didn't have enough time... The mustang ran right into the side of her car, and Danielle's car rolled into the dtich. An old man walking down the road saw the whole thing and called 911," the doctor explained, a sad and sorry tone in his voice.

"What are her injuries?" Hiei asked curiously, gazing blankly at the floor, his hand holding his chin in thought. The other three gave him odd looks, not really believing that Hiei didn't sound murderous toward the medical man.

The doctor took no notice of Hiei's behavior and looked down at his clipboard, answering, "Well, when the side was hit, the windshield shattered, and the sudden jerk caused Danielle to hit her head on the driver side window, knocking her out. Her head was busted open some, but nothing serious. Glass was buried into her. Really, she isn't that bad on the outside of her body, but... we worry about brain damage from the jerk and impact with the window..."

"Ugh, sounds pleasant," Kuwabara murmured sarcastically and shook his head to rid those pictures from his mind.

"Anyway, like I said, we have no idea if or when she'll wake, but... You may go inside and see her if you like," Doctor Fretters said and stowed his clipboard under one arm and opened the door to Room 312, pushing it open to reveal a small white room with a small beeping noise coming from a machine.

The four boys nodded their thanks to Fretters and entered the room. Yusuke walked in last, shutting the door noislessly behind them. They all stopped in their tracks when they saw Danielle laying on the hospital bed, numerous machines hooked up to her. They gathered around her bed and just stared wideyed at the girl, who lay sprawled under white linen sheets unconsious.

Her chest rose and fell as she breathed slow, even breaths. Her brown hair was splayed across her small pillow, her eyes resting shut as if in slumber. One long cut ran from her right brow to her chin, and another cut ran from the bridge of her nose to her left jaw. Bandages could be seen snaked around her right arm, and an IV stuck out of her left arm. A steady beeping noise came from the heart monitor, and that was the only noise in the room for awhile, as the guys just stood by the bedside, still shocked and very worried...

But, inside Danielle's mind, Kiten was trying desperately trying to wake her host up...

--Inside Dani's Mind--

"Danielle! Dani? Please... wake up..." Kiten sobbed and gently shook Dani, whose soul materialized into a body within her mind, as a way of protecting itself. "You can't die on me... on the guys... and not like this... Come on, you gotta live!" Kiten shouted. "Please... You have to," she cried softly and hugged the brunette to her, afraid to let go...
