Because She Died
Dane Soar
I apologize for missing my Wednesday update, but my home computer went belly-up under a nasty virus and I have yet to get it back from the computer doctor. This update is being done on a borrowed computer because I didn't want to miss another update! Please leave a review and tell me what you think.
Part 4
--------------------------------------------
Yusuke was finding himself in an extremely strange situation. He was assaulted by the smells of hospital, antiseptic, cleaner, and the faintest trace of sickness. The figure on the bed was covered with so many tubes and pipes it was hard to make out the human underneath. And next to him, Kuwabara was fidgeting, with Botan in the chair beside him, though she was still. "We don't even know his name," she said, sadly. "this is so insane."
"It's not like he'll never wake up." Kuwabara quickly said. "We'll ask the guy his name as soon as he regains consciousness." Of course, he didn't mention the fact that, according to the doctor, there was a good chance that wouldn't happen.
And Yusuke was still caught up in listening to the beeping monitors, the hypnotic sounds getting farther and father apart.
"Now explain to me again why you aren't just healing him?" Kuwabara asked Botan, for the hundredth time.
"Injuries too severe," she said at one. "And I was a ferry girl, my energy is interfused with death. Flooding a human with that much energy would kill him anyway. And speaking of healing, Yusuke, if I'm here, who's healing Kurama?"
She had to ask again before Yusuke heard her. "What? Oh, Yukina I guess. Hiei took Kurama somewhere or other, he knows enough to get a healer."
"Good," said Botan vaguely. "that's… that's good."
"Guys!" Kuwabara leaned forward anxiously. "This doesn't look good." He was watching the equipment that surrounded the man, which was beeping in a worrying way.
A nurse glanced in, she must have heard the noise, then her eyes went wide and she ducked out. Seconds later, the room was flooded with doctors and nurses, all busily working away at the equipment and unknown man. Soon the three of them were gently, but firmly thrown out.
Botan reached out and grabbed the hand of the boy on each side of her. They took one look at her face and didn't complain.
Only five minutes later, the doctors streamed out of the room again.
A nurse stopped in front of them and shook her head.
A human was dead, and Kurama had killed him.
He was now wanted for murder by Spirit World.
It was probably a good thing that Yusuke had no idea where he was.
