Hospital Problems
The next three days went by slowly and the guys were on their way to the hospital to wait for Necko to wake up. When they entered the hospital they found it had been turned into a mad house. Nurses were running everywhere, computers were on the frets, and the lights were going off and on like strobe lights.
"What is going on," Yusuke said grabbing a hold of a nurse running past them.
"That girl Necko is the one doing all of this," a doctor said coming up to the group making Yusuke let go of the nurse's arm.
"Well I guess that means Necko is awake then," Yusuke said about to head off toward Necko's room.
"Actually Necko is still unconscious," the doctor said, "and somehow she has bared the door shut and your friend Botan is trapped inside the room with her."
All the sudden everything went quiet the computers went back to normal and the light stopped flashing on and off. The guys looked at each other before taking off in a full out run toward the stairs running up them to Necko's room. When they got there they saw the door had been blown off the hinges. They rushed in to find Necko gone and Botan tied up and gagged. They untied Botan and as soon as they took the gag off Botan said, "She went out the window."
"Jin and Hiei both of you go out there pin her down without falling and pull her over to another window so we can pull her back inside and restrain her," Yusuke said helping Botan to her feet.
Hiei and Jin went out the window. Hiei ran along the ledge and Jin flew nearby. All the sudden Jin was hit by a blast of wind that whirled him around and threw him back into a room. Hiei looked back before heading off to find Necko. Jin got up and tried again to go out the window to help Hiei, but again he was forced back into the room by a gust of wind.
"Jin are you okay," Yusuke said coming into the room Jin was knocked into followed by the rest of the group.
"I don't know," Jin said scratching his head looking at the window.
"It looks like Hiei is on his own out there," Kurama said looking out the window and receiving a strong gust of wind in the face.
Hiei P.O.V.
He heard what Kurama had said, but keeps on running taking a corner on the sixth floor. He stopped in his tracks when he saw a crimson haired girl walking dangerously close to the edge looking down while walking.
"Why are you chasing me," the girl asked stopping, but keeps looking down.
"Hn," was the only response Hiei gave her and took a step forward, "you might as well give up Necko you're not getting away from here."
Necko looked up at Hiei and said, "How do you know my name? I've never met you before?"
Hiei didn't answer instead he started to close the gap between Necko and him. Necko saw this and turned to face him fully and took a step back to match every step he took forward. Necko looked down over the ledge and then back at Hiei before turning on her heel jumping over the ledge. Hiei saw this ran to her and grabbed her and pulled her back onto the ledge. Necko turned kicked Hiei in the face knocking him back a little she got to her feet got in a defensive stance, but keep herself very close to the ledge. Hiei looked at her very pissed for kicking him. He disappeared from in front of her and appeared beside her. Necko turned only to have Hiei knock her forward into the building wall and caused her to step backward and stumble over the edge. He caught her by the base of the dress like shirt the hospital put her in. Necko looked at Hiei then looked where he a hold of her. With one move of her hand and a good kick off the ledge the cloth in Hiei's hand ripped away from the rest of the shirt and Necko allowed herself to fall off the ledge.
Hiei looked over the ledge only to see Necko grab hold of a flag pole swing around it before finally sitting on with both feet placed on either side of her hands.
Necko's P.O.V.
Necko looked up at Hiei before walking the poll like a tight rope, but as soon as she got to the ledge she fell griping her shoulder in pain. Necko looked at her hand to see it was covered in blood. She got up and ran down the ledge and turned a corner looking until she found an open window. She looked back to make sure she was not being followed.
Third P.O.V.
Hiei turned and went back to the window Jin went through. Seeing no one was there he went out into the hall to find the found them looking around rooms and out windows trying to find where Necko was at.
"Hiei what are ye doing back inside I thought ye were on the ledge trying to catch Necko," Jin said when he spotted Hiei.
"I found her and then she jumped off the ledge," Hiei said not looking at anyone now since everyone was gathered around him, "she grabbed a flag pole three stores down, and is now running along the ledge."
They all looked at each other before running for the stairs. They ran down them and came out three floors down. They split up into four groups each going down a different corridor.
Necko sat outside a window catching her breath holding her shoulder to stop the bleeding. She got up and walked inside the room. She then found herself walking along with her back pressed against the wall smearing blood on it as she went. Her skin was drained of color almost to the point that looked as if would match her shirt. She had her hands in tight fist that her knuckles look like they were about to split open, and her eyes went wide and she couldn't take her eyes off of the room's occupant. The occupant was unconscious and looked to be half-human half lizard. It had purplish, bluish skin. It had a broken horn on its nose, and a pair of green ram horns coming out of its head. She slide along the wall and out of the room, but when she got into the hallway she was shocked to see more strange creatures dressed as doctors, nurses, and patients.
Necko then looked down at herself to see what those creatures had put her in. She saw she was in white dress like shirt that hugged every curve of her chest down to her waist wear it loosened to stop at her mid thigh. She wore a pair of white lose pants, and a pair of white sandal like shoes she found back in the room she woke up in.
"There she is," a voice rang out to her right.
Necko turned and saw the guy that had chased on the ledge standing there, but he was not alone the voice had come from a red haired guy standing beside him. Necko recognized the voice to be one from the guy that found her in the alley, but she had lost too much blood that her vision of him was blurred. Now seeing him clearly she was a little afraid of him and took off running as fast as she could, finding and running down a flight of stairs in hopes of finding a way out.
"Hiei go find the others I'll go after Necko," Kurama said and took off in a dead run after Necko, and Hiei went off to find the others.
Kurama saw Necko run through a door down a flight of stairs. He took off down the stairs trying to gain ground to catch her. He saw Necko run through another door two flights of stair down. He got to the other door and paused when he saw the bloody hand print on. Kurama looked down and saw a small blood trail and cursed under his breath.
'Now Kurama I didn't think you would be the type to say such things,' Youko said in Kurama's head in a teasing manner.
'Well that's what happens when you have Kitsune stuck in you,' Kurama said going through the door and continuing his chase after Necko following the blood trail she left behind.
'I knew I taught you some things, but cursing was not one of them,' Youko replied, 'so don't start pointing fingers at me.'
Kurama didn't answer but keep running. He saw Necko round a corner and was about to follow when she ran back around the corner and straight into him. Necko fell backward and hit the ground pretty hard. She shakes her head and looks up at who she ran into. Necko gasped as she looked into a pair of emerald green eyes, but yet there seemed to something dangerous lurking within them. Necko let her eyes travel over the face, only to find it looked to be the face of someone who has never been in a fight, but his eyes said otherwise. The guy looked to be around the age of eighteen or nineteen and he had long light red hair pulled back into a low ponytail.
"At least we caught her now," someone said to Necko left.
Necko looked around only to find herself surrounded by the six guys and the girl she saw coming out the elevator around the corner.
"I hope you're okay. I didn't mean to knock you down so hard there Necko," said the guy with the red hair holding his hand out to help her up.
"Fine but how did you know my name," Necko said looking at the other guys surrounding her, but keeping a close eye on the guy with black spiky hair.
The guy with black gelled hair walked up behind her and was about to pick her up, but Necko grabbed hold of him before he could blink and stood tossing him into the red head in front of her. Running toward a guy that stood six foot five inches tall, she slide between his legs and took off running down another hallway. She turned corner and in front of her was the guy that chased her on the ledge. He had black spiky hair and ruby red eyes. He stood with a sword drawn. Necko tried to stop, but ended up falling sliding to a stop. She looked up the blade that was held not even a cementer away from her face. Necko heard someone run up behind her and come to a stop.
"Hiei put your sword away," whoever was behind her said.
"Hn," Hiei said looking at the guy behind her but never lowering his sword.
Necko grabbed the sword slicing open her hand, rising to her feet, and grabbing a hold of Hiei's wrist in the other then with all her strength she threw Hiei into the wall stabbing the blade into the wall as well and took off running again. She turned another corner, but before she could even run ten feet she was tackled from behind. Necko struggled and managed to turn the tables on whoever tackled her.
"Why are you chasing me," Necko growled pinning the guy on the ground, fist raised to strike.
"Because it is not safe to be running around on a floor also known as the insane asylum Necko," the guy said.
"The insane asylum," Necko said, "Wait! How do you know my name?"
"It stated it on your driver license and library card that I found in your wallet," the guy said.
"So you took my wallet is there anything else you took that I should know about," Necko said while getting up.
She staggered back and almost fell if the guy hadn't jumped to his feet and caught her. She pushed him away after regaining her balance.
"You don't need to push away someone who is trying to help you," he said.
"I never asked for your help," she growled, "you mind telling me your name."
"My name is Kurama," he said, "now let's take you to get that shoulder and hand looked at."
With a gentle nudge Kurama tried to get Necko to walk in the direction of the elevator. She stopped and roughly pushed him back smearing even more blood on his shirt.
"There is no way am going to go with you," she said, "I don't even know you and you seem to expect me to trust you."
"I'm going to take you to see a Dr. Hin," he said walking forward causing Necko to step back.
Kurama stepped to the side and tried to stir her into walking toward the elevator. Necko pushed him back again, but regretted it when her shoulder started to throb in pain. She gripped her shoulder and took a few steps away from Kurama. He reached out and quickly took a hold of her arm and turned her around where her back was facing him. Wrapping his securely around her waist he pulled her closer and pulled her shirt off her shoulder to look at the wound.
"Hey what do you think you're doing," Necko said trying to get away only to have Kurama tighten his grip on her shirtsleeve and waist.
"You are going to get this look at whether you like it or not," Kurama said turning her back around to face him and tossing her over his shoulder.
"Hey! Put me down now, I'm not going with you," she yelled and struggled but to no good.
Kurama ignored her and started walking toward the elevator. The other guys were all waiting by the elevator when they saw Kurama walking their way with a girl slung over his shoulder.
"Hey Kurama I thought you were more of gentleman than that," one of them said.
"Yusuke I would have been more of a gentleman if Necko would have cooperated instead of fighting," Kurama said with a sigh.
"Well if you hadn't taken me to a nut house. Where everyone is a freak dressed up as a nurse, doctor, or patient, then maybe I would have cooperated," Necko said, "maybe."
"Well isn't she one with a quick tongue," one said with an Irish accent.
"That she is Jin," Kurama said tightening his grip on Necko's legs.
"If tighten your grip on me one more time ………"
"You'll what start fighting again," another guy said.
Necko put her hands in the middle of Kurama's back and pushed herself up a little to see who all was there. She couldn't really see who was there.
"You mind not doing that," Kurama said, "that's a little uncomfortable."
"Oh, and you think having your shoulder in my stomach is heavenly," Necko said balling her hands into fist.
Getting annoyed Kurama shrugged his shoulder hard into Necko's stomach making her hands fall, and her body fall flat against Kurama's back. Necko started to cough a little from the impact.
"You guys head back to the mansion I'm going to take her to Dr. Hin to get her shoulder and hand patched up," Kurama said walking toward the stairs.
"Be careful with her Kurama," Yusuke said as he walked to the elevator with the others.
Kurama walked to the stairs and up them with Necko lying silently over his shoulder. He looked over at her, then back in front of him letting out a sigh. He lessened his hold on her little.
"I didn't mean to hurt you back there," he said, "it's just that you were starting to hurt me back."
"Whatever just put me down," Necko said starting to tap her fingers in the middle of his.
"No. Now stop doing that," Kurama said readjusting his hold on her.
"I give my word not to try and run off again if you put me down," Necko said after she stopped tapping her fingers.
"I'll put you down when we get to the fifth floor, and that's only if you keep your word," he said.
"For future reference I don't give my word very often, but when I do give it," she said, "I don't break it."
Kurama didn't answer till they got to the fifth floor, and he set her down on her feet, but before she could take one step Kurama took hold of her arm.
"I took your word and put you down," he said, "but I'm still having a hard time believing you. So you're going to walk in front of me no questions."
"Yes sir," Necko said pulling her arm free and turning her back to him.
Kurama gentle nudged her to start walking. They walked in silence until Kurama gentle pulled her into a room.
"Sit on the bench and turn around," Kurama said.
Necko did what Kurama told her to do, but not without giving him a questioning look. Kurama got some paper towels and got them wet in the little sink that was in the room. He went back to Necko, pulled her hair to the side, and pulled her shirtsleeve down. He started to whip away some of the blood.
"So who were the guys you were with," Necko asked flinching every now and then.
"Sorry about that. The one who pointed the sword at you was Hiei," He said, "it will be easier for me if I was able to point out who is who."
"That's fine," Necko said noticing the door was opening.
Standing in the doorway was a woman with green hair pulled back into a bun, and had a pair of matching mini green angel wings and she was also wearing a doctor's coat.
"Hello Dr. Hin," Kurama said.
"Hello Kurama, so this young lady must be Necko," Dr Hin said, "you been giving the hospital a little bit of trouble running around refusing to be caught."
Necko looked away from Dr. Hin. Dr. Hin looked at Kurama and then back to Necko.
"Kurama could you please move, so I can sit there and look at Necko's shoulder," Dr. Hin said setting her bag down beside Kurama.
Kurama got up and Dr. Hin sat down going straight to work looking and determining how many stitches it was going to take to fix Necko's shoulder again.
"Kurama can I speak with you outside," Dr. Hin said getting up walking to the door.
Kurama followed Dr. Hin out and shut the door behind him. Necko looked at the door, then down at her bloody hand.
Out in the hall.
"I got a message from Koenma to give Necko a serum that will make her to weak to walk for a few hours," Dr Hin said.
"How are you going to get her to take the serum," Kurama said.
"The serum has to be injected straight into the blood system," Dr. Hin said, "I've already prepared a syringe with the serum in it."
"I see, but how are you going to inject it into Necko," Kurama said, "I don't think she is going to be all that willing to cooperate."
"When I'm injecting in numbing solution to put the stitches in," Dr Hin said, "I'll inject the serum under the false identity of being antibiotics."
"Remind me never to let you give me any shoots," Kurama said starting to open the door to go back inside.
Back in the room he saw Necko sitting in the same spot looking at her hand. Dr. Hin stepped around him and returned to sit behind Necko.
"Kurama could you wait outside," Dr. Hin said, "Necko I'm going to need you take your shirt off, so I can see the wound on your shoulder better."
Kurama left the room and shut the door behind him. Necko took her shirt off and held it close to her chest.
"Okay Necko I'm going to inject some antibiotics into the wound to keep it from getting infected okay," Dr. Hin said, "then I'm going to inject a serious of numbing shoots."
"Do what you have to do you're the doctor," Necko said.
Dr. Hin inject the serum then gave Necko six numbing shoots before going to work removing broken stitches and replacing them with new ones. Then she wrapped the wound in bandages. After Dr. Hin was finished she instructed Necko to turn around so she could work on her hand. Dr. Hin cleaned the wound, injected two shoots into Necko's hand, stitched the wound shut, and wrapped her hand in bandages. Turning to her bag, Dr. Hin pulled a clean shirt and pants from her bag and handed it to Necko.
"It's just like that shirt and pants you have on now just not covered in blood," Dr. Hin said, "I'll tell Kurama to knock before entering, so that should give you time to change."
Dr. Hin left and shut the door. She paused and looked at Kurama who was leaning beside the doorway.
"Give her a minute or two to change clothes," Dr. Hin said, "also it will take about twenty minutes for the serum to take effect, but I took about fifteen minutes patching her up. So it will not be long before it takes effect."
"Thank you Dr. Hin," Kurama said standing straight.
"You're welcome Kurama," Dr. Hin said walking away, "and take care of her."
A few minutes later Kurama knocked on the door but heard no response. He slowly opened the door and found Necko leaning against the wall. He was about to say something.
"What did that doctor give me, I can't move my legs without falling," Necko said distressed trying to walk only to fall and be caught by Kurama.
"I don't know what she gave you Necko," Kurama said, "but I think it would be best if I took you to the mansion. So you can rest a little."
"I don't want to go to this mansion. I want to go home. I don't trust you," she said trying to push him away.
Kurama let out a sigh before turning her and picking her up bridle style. Necko struggled in his arms, but found that she didn't have the strength to. Kurama carried her to the elevator, repositioned Necko to push the button, and waited for the elevator doors to open. Once inside he set her back onto her feet, but held her close to him to keep her from falling, and when he was sure that she was not going to fall. He pushed the button for the bottom floor. Once the doors opened again he picked her up and carried her out of the hospital only to find Botan waiting for them.
