Shiho Munakata sat upright in her hospital bed. For circumstances she couldn't control, her beloved onii-chan had to go home for the day. Shiho couldn't help but think how wonderful it was to have Yuuichi all to herself again. It was back to the way it was supposed to be. The way it was before she showed up. That thieving cat. But that didn't really matter anymore. Being attacked by that monster was a blessing in disguise.
"Ms Munakata! It's time for lunch!" Came the nurse's voice.
"Ok!" Shiho replied. The nurse entered with a tray of food.
"Oh? Mr Tate is gone already?" The nurse inquired.
"Yeah, onii-chan had some stuff he had to go do."
"That boy rarely leaves your side." The nurse giggled. "Such a wonderful boyfriend you have." Shiho covered her face in over exaggerated embarrassment.
"I'm the most important person in the world to him after all, hehehehe." The nurse set up the food tray on the bed and placed Shiho's lunch in front of her.
"Would you like me to open the window today as well?" She asked.
"Yes please." Shiho replied. The nurse pulled down the window.
"A nice breeze today." The nurse said. "It'll definitely help get rid of that hospital smell for awhile." Shiho picked up her plastic cutlery.
"Thanks for the food!" She said before digging in. The nurse smiled and left the room. When Shiho opened her mouth wide to take a big bite, she felt something fly down her throat. She reflexively swallowed and began coughing. "Ew! I think some bug just flew down my mouth!" She took a large gulp of water and shivered. "Gross!" Suddenly losing her appetite, Shiho pushed the rest of her food away. "Maybe I should have kept that window closed after all…" Sighing, she laid down in the bed. "I feel tired for some reason… I guess I'll take a nap. I'm sure when I wake up, onii-chan will be sitting over me!" Shiho giggled and closed her eyes.
Golgo put his modified M16 back into its case. One might consider shooting a poison pellet through a hospital window into some one's mouth, especially against the wind, to be an impossible feat. However, Golgo 13's specialty was making the impossible, possible.
That day, Shiho had a dream about being with her beloved onii-chan. It was a dream from which she would never wake.
And then there were nine.
