Don't own Ghost Hunt.
"Hoshiko and Kiyoshi Kimura," Yasu announced, holding numerous files and papers.
"Hoshiko Kimura; basically sacrificed herself to save her husband, Kiyoshi, after a car crash that caused two broken ribs, which punctured her right lung and a fractured neck. She didn't have good chance of living. She was extremely lucky to make it to the hospital and wasn't expected to live much longer due to internal bleeding." Yasu paused.
"Her husband had kidney failure and had serious blood loss from the crash. The hospital they were admitted to didnt have enough type A- blood in their blood bank due to pipes bursting and wrecking most of the supplied blood they had. This happened just a few days before their crash. They were getting more blood flown in, but it was still a few days before it would arrive. Their only option was to take blood from Hoshiko to save her husband, as hers was the only available match."
"Hoshiko died soon after." He finished gravely.
"That's still no reason to haunt the hospital." Masako said bitterly. "From what I'm aware, Dr. Haruko doesn't even do blood transfusions."
"Well, that's not all." Yasu started. "They also had a kid, about the age of five, named Yukio. He was sitting in the back left seat of the car when the crash happened. His injuries were quite serious as well. Appart from a concussion and several cuts, he had a large fracture of glass in his left lung close to his heart. It was stuck in a funny angle that made it very difficult to extract."
Pushing his glasses up absently, Yasu flicked to the next page. "Yukio had to have surgery to have it removed. The operation was a failure."
"The crash itself was on a freeway intersection. The family was making their way into town while another car pulled out of a side road, going past the speed limit. After further investigation they found out the man was drunk. Hoshiko, who was driving, got the brunt of the damage."
Everyone silently mulled over the information.
"Who preformed the operation?" Naru asked.
"Haruko Keiji."
"Maybe we should ask Dr. Haruko if he knows anything else?" John suggested.
"...Alright. Takigawa. John. Find Dr. Haruko and bring him here for me."
"Right."
~Meanwhile, in Haruko's office
Kiyoshi Kimura, in his ghostie self, made his way into Dr. Haruko's office (going through the wall, of course) with a depressed expression on his face. The room immediately dropped in temperature.
Haruko, who was signing a pile of never ending paperwork, looked up and warily eyed the ghost.
"Hi, Dr. Haruko..." Said Kiyoshi glumly.
"...Hello." Haruko said, still cautious.
Kiyoshi floated over to the desk and absently sat down in a chair. He stared off into space, frowning.
He spoke suddenly, looking up, "Hey, Dr. Haruko? You have a degree in psychology, right?"
Haruko looked surprised, and stood up slowly, to stand in front of his certificate on the wall. His psychology certificate. "No..."
"But you can help me anyway, right?" Kiyoshi looked at him desperately.
"Uh... not really... I've got a patient in a few minutes." The doctor lied.
"My life sucks, you know?" Kiyoshi grumbled, ignoring Haruko's last comment. "First of all, I had that kidney failure problem, which was, a real pain. And my job! I hated my job! I mean, I mean... Ah who am I kidding, I didn't even have a job."
He smiled dreamily, "And then I met Hoshiko and my life was brilliant... Although I still had that kidney problem. And then we had Yukio and my life was amazing..." He paused, and frowned. "And then I gave her that damned coffee mug for our fourth aniversary."
"I mean I love her and all but she's so violent with that thing! I wonder if it's possible to get the thing exorcised or something. Just the mug, not Hoshiko. Anyways. Yukio was a cute little tike. And then we all DIED. Well, they did. I committed suicide. It was so lonely... Actually, now that I think about it, I died twice."
~Kiyoshi's Flashback
Trouble breathing. Pain. Ugh, what are they saying?
I opened my eyes and the sight was hazy. Vague shapes surrounded me, nurses probably.
"-bleeding too much-"
"-not enough A- blood-"
"-going into cardiac arrest!"
And then everything went black.
I woke, floating mid air, to see doctors and nurses surrounding someone. He looks familiar... Wait. He's me! Ugh. Great. I'm dead.
Well this sucks.
I inspected the scene and sighed deeply. One of the people were preparing to zap me with those shocker things. What are they called? Cardiac defibrillators or something.
They shocked my body's chest, and I felt myself being pulled towards it. Once again, everything went dark.
After what felt like ages, I awakened to someone sticking an IV in my arm. Blood transfusion I guess.
"You're going to be alright."
"Ugh...Dying hurts..." I mumbled.
She quirked an eyebrow at me and grinned slightly, "No kidding."
End of Flashback
"I've got like, the worst luck ever!" Kiyoshi complained. "Kidney failure, my abusive wife (who I love to bits) and her coffee mug, those pipes that destroyed nearly everything in the blood banks, I died twice-"
Kiyoshi continued rambling about his miserable life. Haruko just wanted him to get the hell out of his office.
It was extremely frustrating for Haruko, knowing he couldn't do anything to to get Kiyoshi to leave.
And then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Dr. Haruko said, glancing at Kiyoshi, who was now panicing.
The door opened, as Monk and John stepped through. They looked around to see Haruko standing in front of a wall.
"Ah, Dr. Haruko. We're with the Shibuya Psychic Research group. If it would be alright, Naru would like to speak with you." Monk said formally.
"O-Of course." Dr. Haruko replied. Where the heck did Kiyoshi go? He looked around the room. There was no sign of anyone else.
By the time they got back to base, Masako, Mai, and Ayako had all gone to their room for a bit, while Mikashi had gone home.
"Ah, good, you're back." said Naru.
"Where's everyone else?" John asked.
"They've gone to their room to set up." Naru replied. "They'll be out soon."
They all sat down by the table and started with the questions.
"Do you remember a family that went by the name of Hoshiko, Kiyoshi and Yukio Kimura?"
"Ah, yes actually, I do remember them. But, what do they have to do with anything?" Haruko asked.
"We have reason to believe that they are the ones doing all of this."
"But I spoke to Kiyoshi just a few minutes ago! He seemed harmless to me." The doctor said, surprised.
"What? You spoke to Kiyoshi just now and you didn't tell us!" Monk exclaimed.
John slowly inched towards the door, fiddling nervously.
"I didn't think it would be helpful." Haruko answered and shrugged.
"Any and all information you may have to help this case is apprieciated. Did he say anything about why they're doing this?"
Haruko shook his head with a dismayed expression.
Just then, Mai and Ayako ambled through the door, nearly knocking John over in the process. The priest's eye's widened in fear at the sight of more ghost hunter people.
"Hi everyone." Mai said cheerfully.
"I just came to say I'm going to do a round of the hospital and check everything out." Ayako said, and left.
Completely ignoring them, Naru continued with the questions.
"Do you have any knowledge of Yukio Kimura? You and a few others were the ones to preform his operation, were you not?"
"Yes, and yes..." The doctor started, "Yukio was a cute kid. Smart. I had talked to him numerous times when his father came into hospital because of his kidney problems. But, he seemed to have alot of influence over his parents. He got what he wanted most of the time."
He paused, "But... When the incident happened... I had a little trouble with him."
~Haruko's Flashback
"Come on Yukio, stay awake! You can't go to sleep at a time like this, you've got a concussion!" I said urgently.
"Sir! We're going to have to operate! The glass isn't going to come out easilly!"
Yukio froze.
"N-no. I won't." The boy said shakily. "I don't wanna go into surgery."
"Yukio," I said patiently. "We need to get the glass out."
"No! I don't want to!" He started to struggle, two nurses tried to hold him down, while I tried to calm him.
"NO!"
"Yukio! You need to stop moving so much! Everything's going to be fine!"
He sniffed and slowly stopped squirming, "Promise?"
"Promise."
End of Flashback
"I made a promise I couldn't keep." Haruko muttered.
"Well now we're getting somewhere!" Said Monk enthusiastically.
"Do you think Yukio is behind this?" Mai asked.
"We can't know for sure untill we have more information." Naru replied absently.
Just as John was just about at the door, Masako came through and stared blankly at the anxious looking priest.
"Hello, John." She said, recovering.
"Er... Hi... Uhmm..." Failing to address her, Monk slowly said, "Masako..." in a most helpful manner.
"Right. Masako." John said sheepishly.
The room was filled with an awkward silence as they eyed the blonde suspiciously.
"Hey, John," Mai started casually. "How's that uncle of your's at Mount Koya?"
"Huh? What? Oh, yeah, he's doing great! Just saw him last Tuesday! Going a bit bald though, he is." His voice, significantly higher than normal.
John had everyone's full attention now.
"..."
"John's been possessed! GET HIM!" Monk suddenly yelled and jumped up from his chair. Letting out a squeak, the possessed priest shot across the room, flailing his arms as he went.
Yasu, who had been in the cafeteria, wandered in and stopped to watch blankly. With John yelling as he ran in circles, Monk trying desperately to tackle the priest and Mai not too far behind with a coil of rope in hand, Yasu was assaulted with an interesting scene.
"What's going on here?" Yasu asked.
"John's possessed." Mai replied breathlessly.
"WHY DID YOU HIRE THESE PEOPLE!" The blonde yelled at Haruko as he dashed past, narrowly missing another tackle.
Tripping over her rope, Mai fell to the ground with a thump. John promptly tripped over the brunette, making Monk stumble over the both of them.
The priest scrambled up as quick as he could and made his way to the door.
"Hi, Possessed John!" Yasu said cheerfully.
"EEP!" John squeaked, pivoted quickly, and ran in the first direction he could. Which was a wall.
"OOF!"
He slumped to the ground with a half hearted, "Ouch." and looked fearfully up at the approaching Monk.
"Ah, crud."
Yes, I know, I'm cruel. I don't actually know where that last little scene came from, but me and "Said Person (who we will now refer to as 'Jimmy')" were talking about it.
Anyways, this chapter was more plot development and yes, I did spend about two days trying to think of what could have happened to the Kimura family.
I couldn't resist having John possessed. Sorry if this chapter didn't make sense. Hopefully all will be explained a bit more in the next chapter. Also sorry this chapter wasn't as funny as the rest.
And now, this chapter's GHFBT:
"I've got like, the worst luck ever!" Kiyoshi complained. "Kidney failure, my abusive wife (who I love to bits) and her coffee mug, those pipes that destroyed nearly everything in the blood banks, I died twice-"
"My life sucks as well!" Haruko suddenly wailed, anime tears flowing down his cheeks. "I couldn't save your son, I can't get myself a girlfriend, and nobody likes me! I just want to feel loved!" The doctor sobbed and tried to lean on Kiyoshi's shoulder, falling straight through, and landing on the ground with a thump.
Kiyoshi looked at the doctor and frowned.
"Gosh, this was my sob story. Way to ruin the moment." And with that, he left, using the wall, of course.
And another short one:
The priest scrambled up as quick as he could and made his way to the door.
"Hi, Possessed John!" Yasu said cheerfully.
"EEP!" John squeaked, pivoted quickly, and ran in the first direction he could. Which was a wall.
"OOF!"
The blonde stumbled a few steps, blinked, and fell over unconcious.
"Hehehe..." Yasu started laughing. "Possessed John is awesome."
Yeah... Couldn't really think of any bloopers for this chapter.
