Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ Another Generation ❯ A striped visitor ( Chapter 6 )

Yukita gave a sigh and walked towards the doors of the hospital. She went up towards the counter. But before that she looked around at the place that she was standing at. White walls…Ugh! They are creepy. This place is evil and I hate it. She thought to herself. She walked fully towards the counter. She didn't even bother to see if anyone was there. "Is anyone with the last name of Sohma here?" She asked. She didn't know if they would bother answering or if they even had a name for any of the Sohma right now.  

 

Kane smiled a tiny bit seeing his cousin sit down next to him. "I don't like it here, I want to go home but they won't let me. It hurts a lot, I can't sleep." He tried to sit up a little but it pulled on the stitches and he gave up. He noticed for the first time he wasn't wearing his shirt anymore and his pants had been changed too. Bandages covered pretty much all of his chest and stomach showing only the scars on his shoulders and upper back. The sheet was now only pulled up to his waist showing the bandages that now had small patches of blood showing through.

The nurse at the desk that had replaced Alice smiled at Yukita. "Just let me check...Sohma...Ah yes! A young man, he came in a few hours ago. Are you a family member? He's up on the high dependency unit so only family can visit right now. I can leave a message for him if you're not."  

 

Shadow smiled. Suddenly her face went blank and her hearing perked.
"Oh my god...She's here, do they know you're gone?" Shadow asked looking to Kane, her dog hearing had picked up her cousins voice which was only through the door and very faint; almost unrecognisable.  

 

"Yeah, I'll visit him. Just may I ask why he was here?" Yukita asked the nurse. She wanted to know why one of them was here. It didn't make sense at all seeing how they are cursed. She looked at the nurse now. Evil nurses and doctors. She thought to herself. She gave an evil glare but soon cleared it that way the nurse wouldn't see it.

 

He looked at her confused. "Who's here? Not many people know what happened to me, well none except you Kailey and..." He stopped not even wanting to talk about the person who'd done this to him. He curled up trying to block out the memory of the attack.


The nurse stood up and pointed down the hallway. "It's the first door on the left. Just let them know who you're here to see and they'll tell you everything that happened. He won't talk much when we ask him about so maybe you'll be able to get it out of him. He's in shock still and a lot of pain so try not to push him to hard."  

 

Shadow glared over her shoulder towards the door.
"Yukita" She said lightly, watching a shadow being cast over the blurred window on the door. She looked forward at Kane, smiling lightly in a pitiful way.
"I can't take you anywhere this time"  

 

Yukita nodded at what the nurse said. "Thanks." She told the nurse. She started down the hall way. She had her boots on and was making a thump noise every time they hit the ground. She arrived at the door and notice that she had to was her hands. She raised an eyebrow. She took her hair down and waited for a nurse to come out that way they could tell her what happened. She made her hair go into the small pony tail that was loose and still went down to her mid low back.

 

He tried to look up to see where she was but felt a sharp pain in his stomach and laid back down. "Why is she here? No one should've seen me leave with you, I...I'll get in trouble if he finds out someone helped me and took me here." He began shaking a little from the fear of him coming back to get him again if Yukita told him.

He looked at Shadow and reached for her hand. "Please, I don't want to stay here anymore. He'll come after me once he finds out where I am." He started to get up ignoring the pain but soon felt the nurses pushing him back down on the bed.

Alice looked at Shadow sadly. "Please make sure he stays in bed, he could kill himself if the stitches broke."  

 

Shadow's head snapped up a bit.
"I know." She said lightly. She slowly pushed the stretcher out of view and dragged a clean one out of the closet.
Kane was now hidden by a white curtain. Shadow dug in her pocket and took out a knife.
"Damn...this is going to hurt" she said lightly, laying it on the top of her arm, she dragged the pocket knife over her skin, creating a deep cut.
Shadow got into the stretcher and looked to the nurse.
"Will you stitch me up?" she asked, tears of pain came to her eyes.

 

Yukita gave up waiting and washed her hands. She walked in and found the nurse Alice. She walked up towards her at a fast speed. "Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what happened to my cousin?" She asked the nurse in an angry voice meaning towards Kane. "And when is he allowed to get out?" She added trying to ask a lot of questions to get them out of the way.

 

Shadow grabbed her arm and walked out of the door, blood dripping down over her hand and skin.
"Actually," she said behind Yukita, "It's a she"
She made sure the nurse would tell her it was herself that was hurt, no mention of Kane.  

 

Yukita turned around and grabbed Shadow on the neck. "I saw more blood on the floor of the house then what's coming from your arm. Don't push it dog." She warned Shadow. She wasn't really up to arguing and let her go. Yukita turned back around to face the nurse.  

 

Shadow grabbed her wrist and moved it away.
"Because it's not only my arm." she growled, turning as the nurse called her back in. She walked back to the ward and went behind the curtain,
"Don't move, don't talk, you don't exist...she's suspicious" she whispered into Kane's ear. Taking out the knife again and walking out from the curtain.  

 

Note: Sorry it took so long for me to get the next chapter up I've been busy with sorting out my new job. Hopefully now I'll have some time to get a few more done before I go on holiday.
