Chapter 9: Extra curricular activities

"Hurry to the car! Get the door Holly!" Holly ran to the van door and slid it open. Sonya had hold of Jackie's shoulders as she stumbled into the car.

"Everybody get in and we'll drive to the hospital!" Sonya's mom ran around the car and strapped her self in as did everyone else. The car skidded off.

"What the hell do you guys think you were doing?!" Sonya's mom turned a tight corner towards the hospital.

"It wasn't our faults! If we knew that the girl had a knife we wouldn't have agreed to fight them!" Sonya yelled.

"You agreed to fight them? Why in the world would you do that?" She turned another corner.

"They said something about settling the score that Jackie started last Friday." Claire poked her head into the front of the car to make sure that Sonya's mom was going the right way.

"That is no reason to take part in fights girls! I thought we raised you better then that!"

"But they challenged us to it!" Then everyone started to yell at one another getting their commentary in to explain the fight.

"Humans worry too much." Hiei was sitting on the cup holder in the back of the car since it only sat three and Botan was sitting on the other one.

"Hiei! You have to watch what you say they could hear you!" Botan started to quarrel with Hiei as Yusuke yelled at Kuwabara for sitting on him and somehow Kurama got into the mix and started to argue too.

"Holly?" Jackie was sitting on the right side of the middle row and she hadn't said a word since entering the car.

"What is it Jackie? Are you okay? Do you need something?" Holly looked at Jackie's head since her face was buried in the coat to stop the bleeding.

"I'll buy you a new jacket."

"What?" Holly looked confused as everyone stopped their fights to listen.

"I got all my blood on your coat, I'll buy you a new one."

"That's not important Jackie, medical help is."

"But it's still all bloody." Jackie lifted the coat off of her face to look at it.

"Keep that on. It'll stop the bleeding." Claire put the coat onto Jackie's face softly so it wouldn't hurt.

"Claire, I think all the blood in my face is now soaked into Holly's jacket, I'm dried up."

"Keep it on anyways." Jackie obeyed and pushed the jacket to her face.

"Here we are kids. Let's get Jackie out of the car." Sonya's mom got out and got Jackie out of the car and walked her into the hospital. Everyone else followed.

"Hi, we need help fast. She was stabbed in the face with a knife and she has other wounds too."

"Okay, follow me." The woman ran down one hall and the rest followed.

*~ E.R. ~*

"Here, let me take the coat." A nurse took off the coat from Jackie's face and examined her face.

"Okay, can you stand up? Good follow me." The nurse took Jackie's hand and led her down another hall as other people just stared at her mangled up face.

"Man, we're so stupid! We should have tried to get the knife and not let Jackie try to." The girls sat down with the others worried.

"Oh I hope Jackie will be okay. See boys! You should have helped!" Botan hit Yusuke and Kuwabara in the back of the heads.

"Ow hey!"

"Hey, isn't that the girl who's nose Jackie broke?" Sonya pointed towards a girl coming out of a room with a nose bandage thing on her face.

"Yeah, hey girl!" Claire stood up and walked over to her with the rest.

"Huh? Oh. It's you." She looked up to Claire.

"What was up with your friend? Is she that mentally unstable?"

"Oh, it's just," the girl paused at her nose's pain, "her parents are really pushing her to be a good soccer player so she can go to college on a scholarship, and her dad beats her every time we lose a game. He blames her for our loses and Donna was our moneymaker and the whole reason we won games. And now with her out for the season, she's afraid her dad will beat her more when we lose."

"Oh my god. What a sick man. I can't believe he'd do that to his daughter." Botan said.

"Yeah, she was totally pissed at your friend so I guess she tried to take her out too."

"Guys, you can see Jackie now, and get some band aids for your wounds." Sonya's mom popped her head out of Jackie's room and put it back in when she was done.

*~ inside room ~*

"Jackie, are you okay? Wow, you look like that murderous doll Chucky." Holly looked at Jackie's deep cut and grimaced at its appearance.

"Thank you for that kind comment Holly and yeah, I'm fine. I'll need a bunch of stitches though." Jackie had her head tilted down so she didn't have to look at anyone and see their sympathetic faces.

"How many?" Yusuke asked her.

"Five for above my eye, a liquid stitch thing for my lip, eight for my shoulder, and like, 40 to 45 stitches for my face, or something like that." Jackie kept her head down so she wouldn't have to see their surprised faces.

"That's over fifty! And you didn't even cry." Kuwabara was amazed at Jackie's will power as to not be weak in front of her friends and keep her punkish exterior.

"Yeah, I'll have them on for, like, a month at the longest. Do you think I can miss school because of that?"

"Probably not Jackie. But I am glad to see you're not so emotional as to not be able to crack a joke or anything." Claire said. Then, the doctor walked in.

"Well Miss Conover, it seems you'll have those stitches on for a month and a half to be safe. You can use a special gel on them so your scars can disappear faster. And as for your leg, I'll have to look into that."

"Her leg? What's wrong with her leg? Jackie?" Everyone looked at Jackie for an answer.

"Uh, I told the doctor that my leg was hurting, that's all." Jackie looked up and smiled a weak smile to show them that it was all okay.

"Wait, is your leg hurting from when that girl kicked you?" Botan asked.

"Nope, that just made it worse." Jackie realized what she had said and looked back down.

"Worse from what?" Now Kuwabara wanted the answers.

Jackie hesitated until Hiei answered it for her.

"She fell of her roof the other day."

"Hey! How did you know that?!"

"I saw you, how else? What were you doing on that roof anyways?"

"None of your hickory smoked business!" (A/N don't ask me what that means it just popped into my head)

"Okay, can everyone please leave the room now? I need to do testing on Jackie's leg." The doctor practically shooed them all out so he could start his tests.

*~ next Monday ~*

"Oh my God! What happened to you guys?" Denny was in the 300 hallway with Nimbi and K.C. and looking at the girls' wounds.

"We got into a fight with some girls from Seattle High at the UW game."

"Where's Jackie?"

"She's in the hospital, she got stabbed in the face with a knife and there's something up with her leg." Claire answered waiting for their reaction.

"What?! She got stabbed?! Is she okay?" K.C. was very concerned.

"Yeah, but she's looked freaky with all the blood coming out of her face. We're gonna visit her after school with the others, you guys need to come too." Sonya said, referring to the others as Botan and the guys.

"Yeah, I'll call my mom from a pay phone or something. Did you guys hurt the Seattle High girls at all?" Nimbi asked.

"Hurt em? We beat their asses! And Jackie actually broke one girls' nose."

"Cool."

-RING-

"Let's go." They all went to their first period classes.

*~ after school at the gangs house ~*

"In the hospital! She's not dying is she?" Koenma had come to the guys' house to check their progress.

"Of course not Koenma! She only got into a fight!" Botan said.

"Oh that's good. Now, back to your task at hand." Everyone face faulted.

"You need to become trustworthy to Jackie faster. Her barrier is weaker then before, but only because she finds trust in the doctors at that hospital apparently. Since she is in the hospital, you can go after school and get to know her better." Koenma looked at them to confirm that they'd do it.

"I can't do it." Botan said.

"Why not?"

"I joined an after school club. I'm on the soccer team!" Everyone face faulted again.

"But you don't even know how soccer works Botan! How do you expect to learn?" Yusuke asked her scary, smiling face.

"The girls can teach me of course! And besides, I'm only on third string... whatever that means."

"Okay, so Botan can't. How about the rest of you?" Koenma looked around.

"I can't either Koenma."

"Why not Kurama?!"

"I joined a club also. The newspaper. I'm going to try and improve my writing skills."

"Yeah, we can't either." Yusuke and Kuwabara raised their hands.

Koenma, began to fume.

"May I ask why?" He said.

"That stupid Teacher Miss Mist gave us a month's detention." Kuwabara said.

"Well if you had said sorry and gave her flowers like we did you wouldn't have that month's detention." Botan said.

"Like I would give in to a teacher. Besides, that's bribery! You could get more detentions for that." Yusuke pointed out.

"So I guess that leaves only Hiei." Everyone else looked at him waiting for his answer that didn't matter in the first place since they would force him to.

"Crap."

"That's Hiei for yes! Okay, now that we have that figured out, we need to get to the hospital to see Jackie because we said we would." Botan stood up ready to leave.

"Okay, let's go." Everyone, including the angered Hiei, left to the hospital.
