Husky stared at the red head, trying to figure out if she was sane. The girl who called herself Sasori was talking so fast he could barely understand her. "No need to worry, we can cure your Nana! The girls outside, luckily, were talking about another patient, next door! The reason Nana was sick was from her lack of nourishment and sleep." Now she turned and looked at Nana. "Make sure to get lots of Vitamins, and get out of the sun for a while, to many UV rays will give yah skin cancer. Oh, and sleep would help." She was about to say something, but a doctor burst in right then, and chased the laughing girl off, with her two friends right behind her. Husky sighed, relieved that Nana was okay. But Nana didn't look happy. She stared after Sasori with a longing look. Husky didn't understand why, but he also had a worried feeling deep in his stomach, that something bad was going to happen.
Nana watched the fake nurse leave, with seemingly no care in the world. Her heart was filled with worry; she thought something bad was soon to happen to the joyful trio. Nana didn't often have those feelings, but when she did they usually were warnings. Husky sometimes teased and called her a psychic, then said 'oops, I meant psycho!' on purpose. She looked around though, and thought of the happy things. She wasn't sick, right? So she could celebrate that. She smiled and laughed. Everyone joined in. except for Senri of course. He just smiled. Nana looked at Husky, who was looking at her. He gave her smirk, and she rolled her eyes at him. She loved her friends. They always knew how to cheer her up! She remembered how they found out Husky was a prince. That made her smile more. She almost made that screech of hers again when she thought of the creepy old man who appeared there, though. He had creeped her out majorly. Even though she was celebrating, Nana's mind kept slipping to the red head girl. What was going to happen to her? She seemed like she could take care of herself just fine. But Nana was still worried.
Cooro laughed, completely oblivious to the tense aura the two youngest were putting off. But he stopped laughing when he saw something out the window. "Wah!!! My snack bag!" He whined, as a person ran off with his small backpack. Everyone stopped and watched. "Well, he won't be very happy when he sees all there is in there is apples." Nana stated. "Your new dress was in there too." Husky told her, which made Nana gasp and squeak, "No!!"
During all this, Cooro noticed Delia out of the corner his eye, staring at the group, probably feeling left out. Strange he always noticed when she was like that. It was like a sixth sense of his. Everyone probably notices her too; she has a really strong presence. He realized. Then his mind went back to the apples.
Nana was glad to be out of there. She hated hospitals. She had been in them once to many as a child. And Malnourishment? How embarrassing! Nana could feel her face heat up a little. "What are you blushing to yourself about, stupid girl?" Husky's voice broke the silence. He had obviously gone back to his normal self, which made Nana want to tackle him again. Sadly, every time she came close to doing so she remembered that one time…
"Aghhh!" She screamed at herself, banging her head against a tree. Everyone stared at her. Delia turned to Senri. "Is she always like that?" she asked. Senri nodded a little, but said nothing (Big surprise.). Husky looked… well a little stunned really. Nana finally stopped, brushed her skirt off, and fixed her hair. She ignored the stares her friends gave her, and walked ahead. When only Cooro followed, she turned around, hands on her hips, and said "What? You never seen someone freak out before?" And with that, she turned back around and continued walking.
That night, Nana's dream started out normal. Well, as normal as any bat-girl's dream could get.
"Nana! Hey, Nana!" She heard a voice say. It was familiar… very familiar. But at the same time, she couldn't place it. Then a field came into view. Nana was in the field, but she was younger. As young as when she first met the group. Cooro was the one shouting her name, trying to get her attention. But Nana seemed to ignore him, and continued walking towards Husky, who was hunched over a little ways away. "Husky!" Nana said cheerfully, showing up beside him. She expected him to look up, and say something like 'What do you want?' But he didn't. Nana bent over him and screamed. Husky's mouth was letting out a steady stream of blood, and he was choking on it. Suddenly the scene changed. They were in a dark place, unknown by Nana. Husky was now Sasori, looking up at her sadly. "Run…" she whispered, choking on blood. The man called Jagger was sprawled out on the floor, blood seeping through his shirt. The girl called El-hime was putting up a much better fight against… whatever it was. El-hime seemed to think of something, and threw a bottle of liquor at Sasori, who chugged it. Nana was stunned. Drinking in that situation? But it all made sense when Sasori began laughing. It was almost evil sounding. El-hime and Sasori put up a great fight, but it wasn't enough. Soon the shadow creature prevailed. Sasori fell to the ground, and didn't move. El-hime followed soon after, her head having been split open by… something. The shadow moved towards Nana. She could smell foul breath, and blood. The blood ruled out most every other smell. And even though her hearing was great, all Nana could hear was her own scream as the creature lifted it's weapon to strike.
Nana sat up screaming. Husky jumped out of his bed also, and so did everyone else. "What?!?!" Cooro shouted, looking around. "Did they steal the apples again?!" Nana shook her head, and curled up into a ball. Delia came over to her. "Oh! It was horrible! The blood… the blood…" Nana cried. Delia tried to get what happened out of Nana, but all she would say was "He killed them!" and "So much blood!"
Husky stared at Nana. She had been curled up like that for almost an hour, mumbling something about blood. It worried him a little, he refused to admit it to himself though. Yet he stayed with her when everyone else gave up. Husky walked over to Nana and bent down. "What did you see, Nana?" he asked quietly, trying what the others had. Nana looked up at him. "Husky?" She asked. Husky nodded, and asked her again. He was getting worried. Nana looked weak. She was pale, with bags under her eyes, and the red tinge in her green eyes didn't help. "Oh Husky! It was horrible! Sasori… and Elouise… and even Jagger! That thing… it killed all of them!! It was coming for me next, Husky!" She cried. Husky twitched. He knew it shouldn't have, but his regular irritation kicked in. Girls got scared to easily! But because Nana was sobbing, and Husky knew nothing about crying girls, he didn't start yelling at her to grow up. Instead he awkwardly patted her on the back until Delia came back.
Sasori laughed happily as El-hime stuffed a raw egg, shell and all, down Jagger's throat. "I thought you were a snake!" she teased as Jagger coughed. They were so evil to him. But Jagger never cared. He always stuck by them, and when push came to shove, would be protected by them too. No, he didn't protect them, they protected him. After all, they were stronger. "Another round!" hiccupped Sasori. She laughed evilly as Jelly, Sasori's evil pet ferret, dug his claws into Jagger's back. El-hime ate another piece of candy. "Why don't you have a glass, El-hime?" Sasori asked her through hiccups. "I don't drink." She said. "Then why do you always carry that stuff around with you?" "Reasssoonns." She laughed. Her little may be crazy, but they were the best friends anyone could have.
Cooro scratched his head. 'why would she tell Husky, but no one else?' He wondered. Ever since after Husky had brought them the news about what Nana had said, he had been trying to figure that out. Husky didn't seem to notice, nor anybody else. Not that you could tell what Senri was thinking. "Earth to Cooro." An angry Delia said. "Were you listening to me?" Cooro nodded, a lie. Delia sighed and repeated. "I think we should go back to town, get a good hotel for a night or two. Nana is physically, and mentally, exhausted. She should really rest in a good bed. Cooro nodded his head again, truth this time, agreeing with her. "Then maybe Nana-Chan won't have nightmares!"
Delia could feel herself almost smirk. She held it back again. Even though it was a horrible night, Delia had found out something really interesting, sure to make her days with the group fun. Even though she still felt like an outsider in the group, she was getting used to it. With this piece of information at hand though… oh the fun. And nobody else knew. Not even the people it involved, she was sure.
