Mind Over Alter
Chapter 3: HospitalizationAfter the whole incident with alter user and the little girl who was tortured. She was put into the medical floor immediately.
Captain Jigmar refused to see her until she was awake, so that was okay.
Everyday Mimori sat by the little girl's side, and watched over her. Fact being, Mimori thought that HOLY was doing some pretty cruel things, so she could make it up by probably looking after this girl.
After 5 days of slow recovery. The little girl woke up.
Her eyes opened to find the same pretty ebony haired girl from before.
Mimori…She was of course asleep, spending most of your time watching an unconscious girl can do that to you.
So the little girl poked Mimori, gently of course.
Mimori jerked up to see a pair of silver eyes staring at her intently.
" Ah you're awake, sorry I wasn't," Mimori apologized hastily.
The little girl looked a little out of there, but then she closed her eyes as she smiled widely.
That smile enough answered Mimori's questions. And soon, Mimori found herself smiling with her.
After some time, Mimori spoke up again.
" Here," she said handing a bowl of food to the little girl.
" You've been asleep for 5 days, you should be pretty hungry,"
The little girl nodded and took the food gratefully, but when it was on her tray, she just stared at it, as if expecting it to go into her mouth.
Mimori sweat dropped.
" You don't know how to feed yourself huh little one," Mimori said soothingly.
The little girl blushed the first time in her life.
Mimori took that as a no, and took the spoon in hand.
" I'll feed you, in exchange for one thing," Mimori replied.
The girl jerked up.
" You have to tell me you're name," Mimori said cheerfully.
The little girl thought it over a bit. And smiled warmly at Mimori.
" Ureco," the little girl spoke for the first time.
" Ureco," Mimori repeated. And she scooped up some portage and the girl welcomed it with her mouth wide open.
( A/N Ureco is pronounced you- ree- co)
When she was done feeding Ureco, Mimori got up.
" Sorry little Ureco, but I've been neglecting my work for sometime, by watching you, now that you're awake, I have to leave you," Mimori said, bowed then walked gracefully out the door.
The moment the door shut, Ureco scrambled out of bed, and crawled down the bed, barefoot, she followed Mimori.
Well first she went out the door to see Mimori about turn a corner. Ureco ran after Mimori, causing a little commotion, because Ureco was only wearing hospital clothes.
By the time Mimori got to her workstation, Ureco was holding on to Mimori's leg as thought her life depended on it.
Mimori jerked her head to see what grabbed her, but let out a sigh, to see that Ureco was holding her leg intently.
" You didn't want to be left alone did you Ureco," Mimori asked as she plucked Ureco from her leg, and holding Ureco up so that her hands were under her arms.
Ureco let a tear slip from her eye.
It went clank, clank on the floor. It was the size of a large marble and it was gold, it was jewel.
Ureco's tears turned into jewels.
The tears continued to flow freely.
Mimori held the girl close to her. And secretly, Ryuho and Scheris were watching the whole thing.
"Mimori has a heart of gold" Ryuho mused.
" Let's go Scheris, Mimori seems to have everything under control here," Ryuho said calmly, and began walking away before hearing a reply from Scheris.
Scheris just followed after.
Ureco stopped crying and looked at Mimori straight in the eye.
" Tomorrow, we're going shopping, for some new clothes that is," Mimori said examining what Ureco was wearing.
Ureco let out a big smile and nodded.
Mimori is my new big sister…( A/N Hoped you liked this chapter, sorry it took a while, and sorry for readers of My Fox and the Hound, it will take me a while to get ideas for that -- please be patient with me)
