Still not mine...


"Blood pressuring is dropping rapidly!" a nurse yelled as they wheeled the gurney inside the emergency room. "One hundred over sixty!"

"I need two pints of O negative blood stat!" a doctor yelled.

Carolyn watched the flurry of activity through the glass window. Her shirt and pants were stained with the man's blood. She turned as someone came up to her. "Are you related to the victim?" the officer asked.

She shook her head. "We had just met barely ten…fifteen minutes before he was hit," she answered.

"Did you get a good look at the vehicle that struck Mr. Kaminotsuki?" the officer inquired, pen hovering over a pad of paper.

Carolyn frowned at the name. "Kaminotsuki…as in the business tycoon?" The two police officers nodded. His company has a contract with the SGC… Carolyn thought to herself. "It was a pick-up truck. Old model. It looked like a Ford F150 from the mid-90s. Dark color."

"Did you see the license plate?" the second officer asked.

Carolyn shook her head. "No."

"Thanks for your help," the first officer said and the two walked away.

Carolyn sighed and turned back to Kael, her arms folded over her chest. One of the nurses came out and offered to wash the doctor's clothes so they weren't permanently stained with blood. Carolyn agreed and quickly changed her clothes, having an emergency change in her backpack. Not wanting to leave, Carolyn sat down in one of the plastic chairs in the waiting room and began waiting.

Sam burst into the hospital right next to Usagi. The two ran to the receptionist. "Where's Kael/my brother?" they demanded in unison.

"We're looking for Kaminotsuki Kael," Ami said more clearly.

"Are you family?" the receptionist asked.

"I am! He's my brother!" Usagi cried. "Where is he?"

The receptionist tapped on his computer for a moment. "He's still in surgery," he finally said.

"What happened?" Makoto asked.

"He was hit by a truck as he left a nearby bar," the receptionist said.

"Thanks," Minako said and she and the others guided Sam and Usagi over to a row of chairs near a dark haired woman, who looked to be sleeping. The two blondes collapsed into the chairs.

"I shouldn't have let him leave," Usagi whispered. "I shouldn't have…"

"It's not your fault," Makoto said. "He's at the hospital and the doctors will save him. He'll pull through."

Sam slammed her fist into the chair, jerking the woman awake. "He has to make it," she whispered softly. "He has to…"

"Sorry for waking you," Rei said with a bow.

"It's all right," the woman said.

Sam frowned at the voice and looked up. "Doctor Lam?" she asked.

"Colonel Carter," the other woman greeted. "Are you all right?"

"Define all right," the blonde returned. "What are you doing here though?"

"Looking for you actually," Carolyn said.

"You know each other?" Minako asked.

"We worked together up until about three, four months ago," Sam said. "Why are you looking for me?"

"Could we talk somewhere…private?" the doctor asked. Sam followed her to a deserted corridor. "It's about the guys…"

"How are they?" Sam interrupted. "Still getting into trouble?"

"That's the thing. They're gone," Carolyn said.

"What?" Sam exclaimed. "How?"

"We don't know. They just…vanished outside the SGC."

"The Asgard?"

Carolyn shook her head. "We checked. It wasn't them. The security cameras were able to pick up this." She reached into her back and pulled out a file folder. She handed it to Sam and the blonde flipped through it. She could clearly see a Daetamashii attacking her three friends and a figure that looked like Jennifer Hailey.

"Why are you showing me this?" Sam asked.

"Landry asked me to. This thing might come after you next," Carolyn answered, returning the folder to her bag.

"How long have they been missing?" Sam asked softly.

"Four days," Carolyn answered.

Sam nodded and walked back to the Inner Senshi. "You all right?" Rei asked. In response, Sam passed out. Makoto, Rei, and Minako grabbed her and eased her into a chair as Carolyn ran up. She checked her friend's pulse and looked at her eyes.

"It might be wise to get a nurse," Carolyn said.

"Why?" Rei asked.

"Sam could have passed out for any number of reasons," Ami said. Minako returned with a nurse and Sam was lifted onto the gurney. The nurse then wheeled her away, leaving the five Senshi and the doctor alone.

Haruka hobbled into the hospital, stunned to only see Usagi there. "Where is everyone?" she asked.

"They didn't need to be here so I told them to go get some rest," Usagi answered.

"Where's Sam?"

"She passed out from high blood pressure due to stress," Usagi replied.

Haruka saw the pain and emptiness inside Usagi's eyes. She sat down next to the blonde and let her crutch rest against the chairs. "How are you holding up Koneko-chan?" Haruka asked.

The younger blonde started sobbing and threw her arms around Haruka. Haruka was stunned at first but put her left arm around her friend. "It'll be all right. He'll be fine," Haruka said softly.

"How could this happen Haruka?" Usagi whispered. "Kael never hurt anyone! He was kind to strangers!"

"Sometimes things happen and we never know why. We don't like it, but that's the way life is," Haruka said.

"Usagi," a voice said. She looked up and saw her parents.

"Mama! Papa!" she sobbed, throwing her arms around her parents.

Haruka saw the doctor approaching. "Doctor Mizuno," she greeted.

"How is he?" Ikuko demanded.

"He has multiple contusions over a majority of his body. He suffered a dislocated left shoulder, his left humerus has a compound fracture, his right radius has a minor fracture, his right femur suffered a clean break, and both of his tibias are fractured. Most of his ribs were also broken," Mizuno rattled off.

"My god…" Ikuko whispered.

"He also suffered a severe concussion," Mizuno said.

"How severe?" Usagi asked.

"It's doubtful he'll wake up," the doctor said.

Ikuko started sobbing and her husband was forced to help guide her into a chair. Usagi sat down and started crying. Haruka bowed her head, praying for a miracle to awaken Kael.

Sam watched Usagi and her family leave the hospital room a few days later. Once they were gone she crept into the room and looked at Kael. His prone body was hooked up to several machines, a breathing tube resting by his nose. The heart monitor beeped every few seconds. Sam sat down in a chair and loosely held Kael's limp hand.

"Come back to us Kael. Come back to me," she said quietly. Tears slid down her face. "I'm not a full Guardian. We're allowed to be together. Don't leave me. Please…" she choked out. "I love you…"

She pulled out his pendant and carefully placed it in his hand. She placed her hand over his and kissed it. The door opened and a nurse walked in. "I'm sorry miss, but only family is allowed," the nurse said softly.

Sam nodded and rose to leave when she was jerked to a stop. She frowned and looked down at her hand. Her gaze traveled up to a splinted arm and to a bruised face. Two silver-blue eyes stared into Sam's deep blue eyes.

"She…is family…" Kael whispered.

"Oh my god…" the nurse said in shock. She stumbled out of the room so that she could go get a doctor.

"Holy Hannah…" Sam said. "How…how did you…" she stammered.

He smiled as best he could with the bruises and cuts on his face. "I heard you," he said. "So I came back."

"Ashiteru shinsetsu-okami," she whispered with a small laugh.

"Ashiteru kohitori-chan," he returned.

Doctor Mizuno came in and stopped dead in her tracks. "Nice to see you awake," she finally said. "Though I must admit, I thought you wouldn't wake up."

"I could never leave people I love," he said, squeezing Sam's hand.

"I should go call the others and let them know," Sam said.

"I'll…stay here to be poked and prodded," he returned with a grin. Sam started laughing, Mizuno and the nurse joining in.
