Chapter 9: The Horrible wait
Recap: L's in pain from an infection
Rose's pov
"DONNY!" I shouted and rushed to the door. Donny was almost at the door by then "what's wro..?" "Ryuzaki's has an infection!" I said interrupting him, Donny came running past me faster then when he came rushing to this room. I looked over and Donny was picking Ryuzaki up and Ryuzaki was hissing at the sudden pain of being moved. I held the door open for Donny and he went rushing out and down to his lab.
I started to follow when Donny said to me "Rose I'll handle this, I don't need your help" those words hurt a bit, but I understood that Donny knew what he was doing. I walked over to the couch and sat down, I put my face in my hands and I almost felt like crying, but I held the tears in. "Rose what's wrong with Ryuzaki?" I heard Leo ask "he got an infection" I said with out lifting my head 'gasp' I heard from Leo. Then I felt Leo put his hand on my shoulder and then pull me into a hug.
"Uh Leo and Rose sitting in a... ouch" Mickey started to sing when Ralph hit him "what's wrong?" Ralph asked, Leo answered for me "Ryuzaki has an infection from his back wound" "what? Will he be ok?" Mickey asked frantic "I don't know, but with Donny he might be" I answered. Leo stopped hugging me, but he kept one of his hands on my right shoulder, I then felt 2 other hands on my left shoulder. "Rose he will be alright" Mickey said, and for once he sounded serious.
"Arigato" I mumbled "What is going on?" Master Splinter asked "Ryuzaki got an infection from his injury" I answered looking up at Master Splinter. His eyes got wide "Rose I am sorry" I shrugged and replied "infections can always happen with wounds like Ryuzaki's."
An hour and a half went by and Donny still wasn't done. My worrying level was rising each minute. Finally I heard the lab door open and I look up and see Donny "Donny how is he?" I asked, I could tell my voice was laced with worry. Donnie looked at me and said "he's asleep now, and he will be ok... His back will still hurt after he wakes up, we'll need some medicine for that" "I can pick some up tomorrow morning" I said.
Donny nodded and said "thank you, We were lucky when you noticed the infection, any longer and he properly would not be here." My eyes widened and my mouth opened "what? He would have died?" I asked "Yes but he is better now" Don said turning around and walking back into his lab. I watched him grab Ryuzaki, who had no shirt on but he was wearing clean bandages. I opened the doors for Donny when he came to one.
When we came to my room I opened the door and after Donny came in carefully with his bundle, I rushed to the bed and pulled the covers off. Donny put Ryuzaki on the bed and I pulled the covers over his body. Don left then and I sat by the bed, watching his face for any pain. I stayed up all night, but thankfully Ryuzaki did not experience any pain.
3:00 pm, Hebi's lair, narrator's pov
Hebi walked back and forth in his room. He had gotten very little sleep since that night L was saved. 'That stupid L, he should be dead now!' Hebi thought furiously as he made himself pace faster. "Master you should sleep" Kiken na said "no we have to kill L before we do!" Hebi yelled at Kiken na... Then Hebi's face lightened up and he smiled evilly "that's the plan!" He said proudly, he then told Kiken na and the snake smiled "perfect plan master."
Turtles lair, L's pov
I opened my eyes and see the ceiling of Rose's room. "Good your awake" I heard Rose say, I look to my right and see her sitting in a chair. "How do you feel?" She asks, I try to move onto my right side but my back starts hurting. "Hey don't move yet! Bauka!" Rose scolded me "what happened?" I asked, Rose's face turned neutral again "your injury got infected and you were close to dying" Rose whispered loud enough so I could hear.
My eyes widened and I say "I'm sorry" it was a whisper "no I'm sorry, I knew something was going to happen but I didn't do anything! That makes me so horrible" Rose said, her voice sounded like she was going to cry, but she didn't. Neither Rose nor I spoke for awhile. I didn't even hear the turtles moving about "what time is it? And where are the guys?" I finally asked "It's 10:05pm, the guys are out patrolling" Rose replied. I nod and begin to get sleepy and Rose grabs up a book and starts reading. I fall asleep soon after she started.
