Chapter 7: Pain Sucks!
Twilight High
“- And that's why girls go to the bathroom in pairs.” The double doors to Twilight High School burst open as the boys walked in first, Riku explained this to them.
“I get it now.” Sora grinned.
“Nice.” Roxas smirked.
“No comment.” Hayner chuckled, as he and the rest of the guys continued to walk down the hall. They stopped at the corner and started another conversation as they waited for the girls to come join them.
The girls came in after the boys and stopped dead in their tracks in front of the double doors. They were in a conversation of their own until they all heard Riku's last statement with the conversation he was having with the guys.
“Well . . . that . . . must have been a . . . umm . . .” Kagome trailed off, trying to find the right words for the guys' conversation.
“Interesting conversation,” Kairi tried, as she giggled.
“Yeah, that works.” Kagome said, as she chuckled a little.
“What can we say? Boy will be boys.” Olette shrugged with a grin.
“Got that right,” Namine said with a wink. “They will always wonder about the strange spices called: Girls.” All of the girls giggled at Namine's little pun.
Kagome'sPOV
After we stopped giggling, mine fake as always, I noticed the boys were up a head, by the corner of the hall waiting for us. “Come on girls,” I said, as I started walking towards the boys; with my back facing the girls. “The boys are waiting.”
As I started to take a few more steps towards the boys, the worst pain in a long while shot through me; the central point of the pain, my back. “Urgh!” I grunted lowly so no one could hear it, as I lurched forward a little. The pain was bad before, but right now at this moment it was worse. Much, much worse; to the point I am going to collapse.
I tried to pretend nothing is wrong with me and continued to walk forward. As more and more pain shot through my body, I held the yelps in by biting down on my lower lip, heard.
That's when I heard it. Three horrified gasps were suddenly let out behind me by none other than Kairi, Namine, and Olette. I turned around, slowly so the pain would not get worse, to see that my friends had pure horror on their faces. “What's wrong?” I asked in a low, strained voice.
“Ka - Ka - Kagome . . .” Namine stammered in a shaky voice. Her big blue orbs wide with terror.
“What?” I asked. As the pain started to get worse and worse, I gritted my teeth.
“Your back!” Olette exclaimed in shocked.
“It's bleeding!” Kairi yelled in terror.
“What?” I whispered to myself.
“Oh Shit!” I heard Hayner yell behind me. I noticed now what caused his outburst. When I turned around to see what was wrong with the girls, I then had my back facing the boys. They now have a full view of my bleeding back. I think it was what Kairi yelled that cased Hayner's attention to turn towards us.
Pain shot through my body again; a burning and agonizing feeling. And it sure as hell came in with a bang as I finally gave in to it. “Ahh!” I cried out loud in pain, finally, and fell to my knees. I couldn't take it any more. The pain had finally consumed me. I closed my eyes tightly and balled my fist, causing my knuckles to whiten. `How did Kairi knowI was bleeding a little? Did the bloodfinally seep through?'
The moment I fell everyone ran towards me. “Shit! The blood is seeping through her shirt.” Riku said. I could hear his voice right beside me.
I bitterly smiled inside.`So my blood finally did seep through.'
I opened my eyes to slits and turned to see Riku and Sora kneeling beside me to my right with worried expressions. I turned to my left to see Roxas kneeling beside me also.
I tilted my head up to see Hayner and Olette looking down at me with sad expressions. I guess they feel bad that they don't know what to do to help me. I can't blame them. I would probably be the same too at first if this happened to one of them.
I have no clue where Namine and Kairi are. Maybe they were behind me where I can't see them. I closed my eyes tightly again, in pain.
I started to lean backwards and I almost fell, but then I suddenly felt a strong hand grip my right shoulder. And a small hand and then another strong hand griped my left shoulder.
I opened my eyes to slits again to look to my right to see that it was Riku who was holding me up by the right. I looked to my left to see that Namine and Roxas both had their hand on my shoulder. They had a look of determination on their faces. Namine had hers on my shoulder and Roxas had his hand on top of hers, to help her hold me up. I felt Riku's other hand hold me up by the small of my back.
I closed my eyes tightly as I cried in pain again.
Normal POV
Riku looked at Kagome as she closed her eyes and cried in pain. He looked towards her back to see how bad the damage was again. He shot his attention to her again when she started to whimper.
“Here Kagome, hold my hand.” Sora said in a soft, soothing way, as he offered his hand to the girl on the floor who was in agony. Kagome took his hand greedily and squeezed it with all her might.
Riku looked down, “Kagome . . .” He said softly, “Wh . . . what happened to you?” `There is no way in hell this was caused by an ordinary accident.'
Kagome held her tongue and did not dare to answer Riku's question. In stead she whimpered some more, as tears began to sting at the corner of her eyes.
“What do we do!?” Asked a frantic Kairi, who was behind Kagome the whole time trying to help in anyway.
“I don't know.” Riku said, frustrated as hell. `Damn it! If only we could use Cure or at least a potion.' He looked at Kagome again and was completely shocked at what he saw.
Kagome was crying. She was not crying hard. She was crying softly, almost as if she was trying hard not to cry at all. For some reason at seeing this Riku got pissed off that he couldn't do anything to help his friend.
“Wh . . . what's going on here?” A panicked female asked from down the hall.
Everyone, except for Kagome, shot their heads to see who had spoken. “Aerith!” They all yelled in a relived unison.
“Aerith, we need help. Kagome has a bad wound on her back that is bleeding and she is in a lot of pain.” Olette told Aerith.
The young women walked over to Kagome in a rush and knelt beside her. “Kagome? Kagome, can you hear me?” She asked the raven haired girl.
Kagome's POV
I looked up at the women who had helped me earlier today and smiled weakly, as some more tears slowly poured down my face. I heated the fact that I was crying, but I couldn't stop it. It was just too painful.
I was about to reply to her when suddenly darkness started to consume my vision. Then as darkness started to consume all of me, I fell back into someone's chest; I guess it was Riku since he was pretty much holding me up.
I felt my grip on Sora's hand lessen until my hand eventually slips away from his. As my heavy eyes closed, darkness finally consumed all of me.
Normal POV
“She's unconscious.” Aerith told everyone before they could panic about why Kagome was not moving anymore.
“What do we do now, Aerith?” Riku asked, as he held Kagome up by himself and leaned her on his chest.
Aerith paused before she answered Riku's question, trying to think of what she was going to do. “Okay,” She started. “I want you” - she pointed to Riku, “and Roxas help me get Kagome to the nurses' office. And I want the rest of you to go back to your dorms. You will know how Kagome is as soon as she gets better.” There was no questions asked as everyone obeyed the orders Aerith gave them. She did know what was best for all of them.
As everyone was about to walk back to there dorms, they couldn't help but throw a worried glance behind them, towards Kagome, before they left.
“How are suppose to get her to the nurses' office?” Roxas asked Aerith.
“Since you're stronger and taller, Riku, why don't you carry her on your back?” Aerith offered.
“Sure,” He said. “Roxas help me get her on my back.” He started to pick Kagome up.
“Okay.” He said, as he helped get Kagome on Riku's back. Once Kagome was completely on Riku's back they were ready to get her to the nurses' office.
“Let's go.” Aerith said, as she, Riku, and Roxas started to walk towards their destination.
Nurses' Office
“Okay, Riku and Roxas, I want you to place Kagome face down on one of the beds. I need to call the nurse so she can help me tend to Kagome's wounds.” Aerith ordered them. Their reply was a curt nod and they did as they were told.
Aerith walked over to the phone that was near the door and picked it up to dial the nurse's room number. She waited a few moments while it was ringing, until someone picked up.
“Hello?”Asked a soft female voice, as she picked up the phone.
“Sorry to bother you at this time,” Aerith told the female on the other line. “But our new student, Kagome Higurashi, got hurt. She is bleeding and is in a lot of pain. Can you help me take care of her wounds?”
“Sure, it's my job. I will be right down.”She replied happily.
“Thank you.” Aerith said before she hung up the phone.
“When is she coming down?” Roxas asked. He and Riku had finished their task a few seconds ago and were listening to Aerith's end of the conversation with the nurse.
“She should be here in a few minutes.” She answered his question. “Now, I want you two to back to your dorms as well. You had did all you could do to help her. ”
“No way! I'm not leaving here until she gets better.” Riku retorted.
“I'm sorry, Riku, but . . .”
“Come on, Riku. I want to stay as much as you want to too, but you know we can't. They need to fix her up and we have to tell a status report to everyone else about Kagome.” Roxas said as he slung his arm around Riku's shoulder.
“But . . .” He looked towards Kagome than to Aerith and Roxas. They were right. He and Roxas had to leave. He let out an exasperated sigh. “Damn . . . okay. But we're going to be back here in an hour.”
“Okay.” Aerith said with a small smile.
“See you later, Aerith. Be sure Kagome gets better.” Roxas waved to her before he left out the door.
“I promise. I will see to it she gets better.” She said, as she waved bye to him.
Riku took one last look at Kagome. Then he turned his attention to Aerith. “Bye.” He said as he walked out the door.
“Don't worry; I will take care of her.” She said in a low voice when Riku left the room.
5 Minutes Later
With Aerith
A woman with turquoise eyes and very long brown hair put up in a high ponytail with a yellow ribbon walked into the nurses' office. She was wearing a long white doctor's trench coat; it was left open. Under the coat she was wearing a frilly light blue shirt, a dark blue skirt that reached up to her knees, and brown high heel shoes.
“Glad that you were able to help, Dr. Lucrecia,” Aerith said to her friend.
“No problem. And I told you before, Aerith, even when I am on the job you could still call me Lucrecia.” The woman replied.
“Right, sorry.”
“Anyway, where is Kagome?”
“Over here.” Aerith said, as she led Dr. Lucrecia to the bed Kagome was at.
“And where was she hurt?” She asked.
“On her back,” Aerith replied.
When Dr. Lucrecia examined Kagome, she saw that Kagome laid there motionless. She had a calm expression on; almost as if the incident in the hall never happened. The only thing that betrays that though, was her tear stained cheeks. Her breathing was slow and steadied paced.
“So this is the girl you were telling all the school staff about. The one that is from another world and the one you sensed something in.” Dr. Lucrecia stated.
“Yes, I sense she has a lot of power and spiritual power.”
Dr. Lucrecia looked to Kagomes' back and lifted up the bloodied shirt so she could see the wounds. When she saw the claw marks on the young girls' back, she was surprised. Almost as if she was used to seeing these types of wounds. “What do you think caused this?” She asked Aerith.
“Not a Heartless. Most of them can't inflict a wound like this; like a claw.” Aerith replied.
“Definitely not a Nobody either.” Lucrecia added.
“Whatever it was . . . Kagome fought it and won, only leaving with minor wounds.” Aerith noted. “Hmm?” She noticed that there was some blood on one of the bottoms of Kagomes' pants. “Lucrecia, I think she got hurt on this leg too.” She said as she pointed to the bad leg.
Dr. Lucrecia went to the leg Aerith pointed at and pulled up the bottom of the pants. “More claw marks. Not as bad as the one her back though,” She reported.
“Can you try to use Cure on her?” Lucrecia asked.
“Sure.” Aerith said as she began to gather her magic. Once her magic was ready she cast it on Kagome. “Cure.”
Nothing happened.
“Hmm? Why didn't it . . .” Aerith wondered why her magic isn't working on Kagome. “Let me try one more time . . . Cure.”
Still nothing happened.
“It's not working. Maybe it is the fact that she is from another world?” Lucrecia offered.
“Maybe . . .”
“Well, it looks like we're going have to do it the old fashion way.” Lucrecia sighed. “What do you say? Let's get started.”
“Okay.”
With Riku and Roxas
The boys walked back to their dorm room in silence. The inside of the boys dorm room is exactly the same as the Kagomes' dorm, except every thing was the opposite. The walls were azure blue and the carpeting was a cream color. It had 2 doors on the right and 2 doors on the left. It had 4 different dressers and 2 bunk beds.
As Riku and Roxas walked in, Roxas looked around as if he was looking for something or someone. “Where everyone else,” He asked Riku.
“Probably in the Living Area. Come on, let's go see.” Riku said, as he and Roxas walked to a door on the far right.
When Riku opened the door it reviled a large room. On the left of the room was a wide screen plasma TV, a Playstation 2, a couch in front of the TV and 2 across from each other behind the first one, a coffee table in front of both couches across from each other, and a door far across from him and Roxas that was left wide open, showing a pink room; the girls room. On the right side of the room was a table with 8 chairs, a mini fridge, a computer on a desk, and another door farther down.
On the two couches that were in facing each other sat 5 sad teens. Sora, Kairi, and Namine sat on one couch while Hayner and Olette sat on the other. Their heads shot to the door when Riku and Roxas walked in. Roxas went to go sit down with Namine while Riku sat next to Hayner.
“So . . . what's going on with Kagome?” Kairi asked Riku about her friend while everyone else listened intently.
“She should be fine. Aerith called Lucrecia down to help her take care of Kagome.” He answered. “Roxas and I are going back down in an hour to see how she is doing. You in Sora?”
“Yeah, I'm in.”
Silence fell upon them for a while until Namine had to ask a question that had been bothering her for a while. “Guys . . . how come Kagome doesn't know that she is in a new world?” Her question caught everyone's attention. “I mean, there is only one way to get here from a different world and I am pretty sure she didn't use a Gummie Ship (Sp? I don't have my book with me).”
“That's not the only way anymore, remember?” Sora said. “The train at Twilight Stationtakes us to Destiny Islands, so maybe the train also goes to Kagome's world: Tokyo.”
“True, it probably does.” Riku said.
“I think we should check it out.” Hayner suggested.
“I agree.” Kairi said.
“Alright, how about we all check it out in 2 weeks on Sunday,” Riku suggested. Everyone agreed to this, until something crossed Olette's mind.
“We have one problem though. What about Kagome? We can't leave her alone with no one to hang out with her. It would just be too weird if all of us go. We need someone to stay with her.” Olette told everyone.
“I'll stay.” Roxas volunteered. “I want to try to get to know her better, anyway.”
“Okay, now with that settled, I think I should tell you guys something I found out about Kagome.” Namine said in a low voice.
“What is it?” Riku asked.
Everyone stared at her intently as they waited for her to continue. “I feel that she is hiding her true feelings.”
“What do you mean?” Kairi asked her.
“When she laughs or smiles it's all fake. I think . . . something sad or bad happened to her not that long ago that caused her to act like this . . . I'm not sure . . . I could be wrong.”
“Well, if something did happen to her, I hope that over time she will know that she can talk to any of us.” Sora said.
“Yeah,” Riku and Kairi sighed in unison.
40Minutes Later
With Aerith, Dr. Lucrecia, and Kagome
It took a while but they finally finished taking care of Kagome. Aerith and Dr. Lucrecia both place this numbing medication on Kagome wounds, so the pain would stop when she wakes up. They soon found out that potion doesn't work on her either. After they were done placing the numbing medication on her, Aerith bandage up Kagomes' bad leg while Dr. Lucrecia bandage up her back. Now all they needed to do is wait until Kagome gets up.
Kagome's POV
I opened my eyes slightly only to close them shut again, quickly; a bright light was shining in my eyes. I opened them slightly again and this time kept the open. I didn't feel anything. No pain . . . no nothing. Almost as if I was never hurt at all.
I was lying on my stomach and was looking to my left. I saw Aerith talking to some lady I never saw before. I moved my body so I could sit up and that's what caught their attention.
“Good, you're up.” Said Aerith, as she walked towards me and sat down next to me. The lady walked over and stood before me.
“How do you feel, Kagome?” The lady asked me.
“Fine,” I didn't even recognized my own voice, it horse.
“Kagome, this is Dr. Lucrecia.” Aerith told me, as she nodded towards the lady know as Dr. Lucrecia. “She helped me fix your wounds.”
“You two fixed my wounds?” I asked panicked. That means they saw the marks the demon gave me! Oh God, no . . .
“Yes,” Said Dr. Lucrecia, as she smiled happily.
`Wait a second . . . aren't they going to ask me where I got them from?' I thought. “Th - Thank you,” I squawked, a little worried.
“No problem.” Aerith said, as she smiled a warm happy smile.
“Oh! Where is everyone else?” I just realized, as I looked around the room.
“I sent them back to there dorms.” Aerith replied simply. “Now that you are feeling better I want you to change in to this.” She said as she handed me a new outfit. “Go in bathroom” - She point to a door in the corner of the room, “to change and when you are done throw away your bloody cloths in the trash.”
I nodded my head curtly and did as I was told.
2 Minutes Later
I walked out of the bathroom wearing a leathery black dress and black shoes that reached up to my ankle. The dress reach above my knees and it had no sleeves; it also had a black hood. I have to admit even though it wasn't my color it looked great on me. It was also the most comfortable thing I wore in a long while.
“Wow! This dress is awesome.” I said, as I looked towards Aerith and Dr. Lucrecia.
“You like it?” Aerith asked, as she walked up to me.
“Like? No, I love it!” I smiled a little.
“Then it's yours.” She said, as she smiled brightly at me.
“Really? Thank you.” I said, as I gave her a quick friendly hug.
“No problem.” She giggled.
“Kagome . . .” I heard Dr. Lucrecia say my name and turned my attention towards her. “I think it is time you go back to your dorm now.” She told me. “But before you go, take this.” She handed me this tube “The pain will not be gone entirely for a while, so this is the medicine that will help numb it. Be sure to put it on when the pain starts to come back. And if your blood seeps again, you can come to any of us or use the First-Aid Kit to bandage them up again. Okay?”
I nodded curtly. “Okay. Well, thank you for everything, Aerith and Dr. Lucrecia. I'll see you around.” I waved bye to them as I left the nurses' office.
Normal POV
With Aerith and Lucrecia
“Well, I guess I should be leaving. Bye Aerith.” Lucrecia said as she walked towards the exit.
“Thanks again for helping me.” She said before Lucrecia walked out the door.
“Who was that girl?” Asked a male voice from behind Aerith. You could almost hear his grin in his voice.
“Oh!” Aerith said startled as she turned to see who the voice belonged to.
I was a male, but he was wearing a long black, leather trench coat with long sleeves. The hood of the coat was pulled over his head to hide his identity, but Aerith knew who it was.
“What is with everybody trying to sneak up on me today?” She sighed, mostly to herself.
“Don't know, but you didn't answer my question.” He said, as he walked up to her.
“She is our new student, Kagome Higurashi. She should be in your class tomorrow.” She replied. “She is also good friends with Roxas and gang.”
“Well, everybody knows a friend of Roxas is a friend of mine.”
“Yes, that's true. But I am going to need you to do me a favor though.”
“What?” He asked curiously.
“I want you to go a round with her, in 2 weeks'; on a weekday of your choice.”
“What, like, fight her?”
“Uh-huh.” She nodded. “I think that girl has a power and could fight. Will you do it?”
“Gladly,” He smirked. “But if you are wrong?”
“If she does not put up a fight in 3 attacks you give her, retreat. Okay?”
“Got it,” He said; as he lifted up his hand a dark portal appeared. He was about to walk in it when . . .
“Wait.” Aerith said and he stopped. “Don't hurt her to much.”
“Don't worry Aerith. I told you before, `A friend of Roxas is a friend of mine.'” He grinned, as that was the last thing he said before he disappeared into the portal.
Kagome's POV
With Kagome
I ran down the hall that leads to my dorm room. I was excited I was finally going to get to meet my room mates. I was right in front of the door and was about to reach for the gold knob when I heard muffling. I decided to listen in and this is what I heard:
“*Muffle* Not *Muffle* Yet!” I heard a male yell. What? A male?
“Let *Muffle* Go!” I heard another male yell. Why are there guys in a girls dorm room?
“Guys! *Muffle* It!” I heard a girl yell.
“Get off me, *Muffle* and *Muffle*!” I heard the second male yell.
“Never!” Said another male voice.
“Oh God,” I heard another girl say.
The knob began to jiggle and then all of the sudden the swung door opened. What I saw shocked me.
He yelled over his shoulder to the other people in the room, “I am going see if she got bet-” He stopped talking, when he faced forward and saw me. He looked at me blackly. So did everybody else.
It was Riku who opened the door and Sora and Hayner were hanging off him, as if they were trying to stop him form doing something. I saw Kairi, Olette, Namine, and Roxas were behind him.
“Kagome?” They all said in shock.
`N - No way!' I thought to my self utterly shock as well. “You guys are my room mates!”
Wickedly
