Welcome to Gaia! ::

Etsuko was placed in Exam Room 2, Exam Room 1 was being taken by a girl with a bad headache who's personal Doctor was on the way. The Doctor came in, examined Etsuko's wound and decided not to wait for her personal Doctor. The School Doctor cleaned the wound and stitched it shut.

Etsuko sat their silently waiting for Don.

Etsuko sat up and looked at Kazuma, "Yes, but someone should be coming here soon."

She recognised Kazuma from his altercation with Arai at Halloween.

Arai busted through the door carrying Terrence with the assistance of Ryuu and Yuriko following. They rushed into exam room 3 and set Terrence down on the bed.

"Thank you Arai," Ryuu said as they entered the room.

When Kazuma entered the room Ryuu and Yuriko looked over to him.

The doctor entered the room soon after Kazuma, "Ah excuse me." she said to Kazuma as she passed, she walked up to the bed, "My this is bad," he turned to everyone. "Could you all-" she noticed Arai's leg, "Ah you got shot too. Well then you stay here with this boy and I'll patch you up. The rest of you will need to leave." She pushed them out of the room. "You three will just have to wait out here." She then closed the door.

Then turning to Arai she motioned for him to sit on the counter saying the bed was occupied. She washed her hands then inspected the wound. "This is pretty bad. I'll stitch it up, but you'll need a shot to fight off infection." She began stitching the wound. "I'm going to also put it in a brace to help the muscle heal. You might need to use a crutch as well."

She finished with putting the bandage on Arai. She then fiddled through her bag. "It's a good thing that I carry all types of braces with me." She pulled out a brace and wrapped it around his leg. "A crutch might me too much." She smiled at him. "How about a cane?" She got up and went through the closet and brought out a cane. "Here use this." She shoved it in his hand.

Ryuu turned to Kazuma once they were rushed out, "We don't know who did it. I'm sure that we'll figure it out."

Arai sat on the counter holding the cane and bruding while the chaos was going on.

"Mamushi," he muttered, "The Japanese Pit Viper, get its antitoxin and he'll be fine."

Arai stood up and walked out using the cane.

"Ryuu, we need to talk," he growled, "these shooters are mercenaries, the Mamushi Okane. There are only Three families in japan and four others outside of the country. We have three maybe four in our school. Yours, Mine, that newspaper jerk, and possibly Terrence's. Everyone needs to cut the crap, who the hell is Terrence Maxwell, I hear some people call him Rivers like those twins."

Etsuko walked out of her room when she heard Don and Jon come in. She slipped into his room.

"Don, just relax," She said softly, "they need to get the glass out."

Nazmun had just walked in at the right time as Arai mentioned about the mercenaries.
"Mamushi, that bit of infomation is frightening." She said quietly as she walked in.

She walked up to Arai and Ryuu with crossed arms. "Terrence is actually an interesting boy, though there are some discrepancies about him." She closed her eyes. "Wait a few days. I have a feeling that you may get your answer, Swordsman." She said calmly. "can you wait that long?"

Nazmun looked over at the closed curtains that hid Terrence. "I doubt that would happen. If their target is only Mister Maxwell, then they would assume that he won't make a full recovery."

"He's recovering!" exclaimed a nurse in relief, the antitoxin had been applied and was taking effect.

"I'm sure that your interferance was unexpected. You're not in the equation, Swordsman." Nazmun said quietly and calmly. She closed her eyes and sighed. She looked over at Kazuma, then looked away, "I have a feeling that someone's already got wind of this news and it will be out. I saw the little munchkin running off looking estatic. I'm sure, if he can't spread the news as dramatic as a full blown fight between you and Mr. Maxwell, he'd opt for the news paper. The OMEGA news has been gaining a steady growth of popularity among the student body." Nazmun said knowningly.

She placed a finger up to her chin, "What bother's me is why go after the Maxwell boy. There are so many other choices to go after...then again, he's quite an easy target. Unlike his Uncle." she pondered outloud smoothly.

Don looked up weakly at Etsuko. His face was flushed pale and shiny from sweat. There were more smaller peices lodged in his back that was assumed, plus it didn't hurt that much, he didn't think there was still so much. His breath was staggered. He was not putting on another act. His long artistic fingers trembled from the pain and the exhaustion and curled tightly around the cover sheets of the bed. He dropped his head on the bed. ".....why can't... they use an anesthetic?" he asked weakly at Etsuko.

"We only have a small supply here in the infirmary since not many people are hurt at one time. There was a wave of people who came in before you. The supply was used up on them. If we knew there were people who were more injured then we would've held off." Said a doctor stiffly with a pair of tweezers.
"Then again, its our faults too since we opted to ease the pain of the crowd first, avoid any displeasure of the students." He said with guilt.

Don closed his eyes as she touched his cheek, his breath trembled as the pain surged through his body. "...s-sure doesn't....f-feel like it..." he said weakly with a smirk.

After another 10 minutes the last klink of glass sounded. The doctor thanked the nurse and padded down Don's back. "We're going to have to screen you to see if you have anymore, but we're taken out all that we've been able to see. We're going to clean you up and give you a temporary wrap. I'll schedule your screening in a few hours." he said as he filled a small bowl of peroxide and took out another bowl of cotton balls.

Out side the curtain Nazmun jumped almost knocking over a tray that was nearby from a very loud and peircing scream.

"ah...that wasn't suppose to happen...." The doctor muttered as Don violently twitched on the bed, his hands were clawed around Etsuko's wrist and shirt. A nurse had walked in and bumped into cart with the bowl of peroxide and a good amount splashed onto Don's open ********!!!! GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!! TSSSSSSSSSKK....!!!" he cried in agony. 'WHAT KIND OF SADISTIC....DOCTOR ARE YOU?!?!?! .....ahhhh....." He cursed criging in pain that had amplified from before.
