I do not own Natsume and Ruka's names, but Haru is my own character. Please do not copyright this story or Characters...or anyone else's, it's just wrong :P
Chapter 6: Hospitalized
Haru and Ruka carried unconscious Natsume to the entry gate,
"Yield" a night guard stopped Ruka and Haru in their tracks,
"Do not worry, it's just Natsume and me, we've brought Haru" Ruka said to the guard in a calm tone,
"Natsume is severely injured! H-How can this be?" the guard said puzzled
"We don't know" Ruka looked sad,
"Can you let us in, he's injured, he needs to go the hospital" Haru panicked,
"Of course, Lady Haru" and the guard saluted.
The guard carried Natsume and came to a halt at a great big double door.
"Open the Gates!" the guard yelled
the gates opened and the three continued walking, they stepped into the main hall and stopped,
"You two must see the Moon Mistress, I will take Natsume to the Hospital" the guard ordered,
"I will do no such thing!" Haru yelled at him,
"Neither, Haru and I both agree" Ruka proclaimed
The guard glared at the two for a moment and finally concurred to their terms. The three walked down the long, narrow golden coloured hallway and ceased in front of a modern brown door, a red medical cross was carved into the door and on the bottom it read 'Emergency Medical Care.' The guard opened the door and walked straight in, he shoved Natsume on the bed and started laughing in amusement,
"What's so damn funny?" Haru yelled
"That the great 'Legendary Swordsman' got injured so severely" the guard kept chuckling
"Natsume IS the 'Legendary Swordsman', I'm pretty sure you can't even beat him" Ruka grinned,
"You insolent fool!" the guard hit Ruka directly in the face, and Ruka fell to the floor,
"Your such a feeble guard, hurting innocent people. How can you protect the Moon Mistress?" Haru retorted,
"You little-,"
Suddenly when Haru thought she would be cruelly beaten, the guard fell to the floor unconscious. A long golden haired women with glass holding a tranquilizer gun, stood behind the guard,
"I hate it when guards come in my office" said the women
"Dr. Iragi!" Ruka yelled back up on his feet,
"Ruka! How's my little apprentice doing?" Dr Iragi teased
"Dr, stop teasing me. Look I've grown taller" Ruka stretched his spine
Haru stood there next to Natsume's hospital bed and looked confused,
"I'm sorry Dr, I-I'm Haru" she said nervously
the Dr looked at Haru and smiled,
"So you're the famous Lady Haru" the Dr looked and inspected her.
"No, I'm just Haru and can you please help Natsume" Haru held his hand,
"He's very wounded, but I think I can make him as good as new" the doctor smiled at Haru and Ruka. Dr. Iragi quickly took Natsume into the operating room and showed Haru and Ruka where to sit. A tear slide down Haru's face and dripped onto her hand, Ruka looked at her and gave her a smile,
"Haru, he'll be alright"
"You don't understand Ruka, he got hurt because of me, it's my fault" she sobbed
"No Haru, it's not, he wanted to protect you. That's who he is, he protects his friends and loved ones even if it kills him" Ruka looked at the floor,
"Ever since I meet Natsume, he's been so kind, killing monsters when I was in trouble and staying by my side. What have I done for him?" Haru questioned,
"You killed that hag and you've given him a reason to love" Ruka protested
"yeah but I haven't killed as many and what do you mean to love?"
Ruka gave Haru a sly grin,
"I've known Natsu-niisan since we were little, I got bullied a lot for my size and interests, but he stood up for me, he was cold to anyone except me and the Moon Mistress" Ruka explained, He looked Haru in the eyes,
"Your the first one, that Natsu-niisan has ever been kind too except me" he smiled
Haru blushed and could feel herself getting hot,
"Haru, you okay, you look red" Ruka grinned
"Y-Yeah, I'm somewhat okay" Haru smiled
"Oh I get it, this is Haru's blushing face" Ruka teased
Haru looked away. Dr Iragi came walking out of the operation room; her face looked upset and disappointed. Haru ran up to her,
"Is Natsume okay?" she asked smiling
"I'm sorry Haru, I did all I could but he didn't make" Dr Iragi replied with a sad tone
"No, you said he'd make it, you said he'd be fine, you lied" Haru cried
"Haru, I'm so sorry"
"No, sorry isn't going to bring him back, he's the only person that's ever been special to me. I-I liked him, but now I can never tell him!" she sobbed
Ruka walked up next to Haru, but had a calm face,
"Master enough with the jokes, Haru can't take jokes" Ruka sighed
"Oh seriously, gosh my bad, and I thought she was a good actor" the doctor replied laughing,
"Wait, she was just joking-" Haru fell to her knees "I said all that for nothing, Natsume probably didn't even hear me anyway" Haru sighed with relief,
"No he's awake, I woke him up" the doctor smiled
"Good joke doctor" Haru laughed
"Ah Haru, that wasn't a joke" Ruka replied worried
A boy walked out of the room, he had bandages all over his upper body, from his chest down to his stomach and stood there looking dazed.
"Natsu-niisan!" Ruka yelled and hugged him, Dr. Iragi smiled,
"What are you going to tell him?" she whispered to Haru
"I have no idea" she stood there with a blank face
Natsume walked over to Haru and wiped blood of her cheek,
"It wasn't your fault" and he smiled at her, a tear dripped down Haru's cheek and he embraced her in his arms.
Oh la la :3 What's gonna happen next? Will she tell him? Did Natsume over hear Haru's conversation with Dr Iragi? And is he going to accept her love? Stay tuned for the next chapter of 'The Lunaboy.' :3
