Welcome to Gaia! ::

Celestial smiled gently at the girl and listened patiently. It didn't bother her much that a sparr had gotten out of hand, they always did here in Ria High School. "Well, he seems to be in a worse condition, so I hope you don't mind if I treat him first. Although I will help with the pain."

Celestial smiled at the girl, laying her clipboard down on a vacant chair after scribbling a couple things onto it. She then drifted to beside Alyssa's bed and layed cool fingertips on the girl's forehead. A purple glow emanated from her arm and slowly engulfed Alyssa's body. After a while, the cool magic sunk into her skin, laying a powerful pain reliever onto the girl's body.

After her first task was finished, Celeste went to the boy's cot. Her fingers once again met skin, but this time the magic was white. It slowly flowed like liquid from her fingertips, a gentle glow rose from the boy as Celeste sent her magic through him.

Her face went impassive as Celestial's eyes stared into space. It was impossible to tell that calculations whizzed through her mind at a million a millisecond. It only took a minute or so for her to figure out his exact condition and how much magic she could afford to spend.

Celestial shifted her hand from his head to his chest and gently changed the color to purple as she began to heal him. Most of Hiro's scrapes and bruises dissapeared from the force of her magic. His ribs left their places on top of his lungs and carefully rejoined to their normal places. The holes in the organs repaired themselves, the blood drained from his lungs.

After finishing the basic healing, she bandaged Hiro's bigger wounds, attached him to an oxygen machine and an IV. Finally she turned her attention to the girl.

Her tierd face was quickly covered with a towel to wipe away the sweat before she addressed the girl. "I will only fix your ribs by magic, this is to prevent piercing your lungs. I can bandage the rest of you, but there is mre then just you two who need my help. I am sorry, but you wont feel pain for as long as my spell lasts."

With that, Celeste began the magic on Alyssa, carefully binding her ribs to their original spaces. She reinforced the spell for pain relief and then went to the cupboard for more linen bandages. "This wont hurt, but it will feel odd." Her spell prevented pain, but not discomfort.

Gently she lifted the first leg and deftly binded it in the white length of cloth. Quickly she repeated it on the other leg. With a pop! a dish of non hospital food appeared on the table. She went to it and brought it to Alyssa. "Can you eat?"

"Man, that felt great!" Ai exclaimed cheerfully as she strecthed her arms out as she proceeded through the hallways. She just came back from her break time, which was her spending most of the time drinking tea and reading the daily Ria High newspaper. As Ai walked in, she knew she was going to get bored again. Sometimes, she think she's not good enough for this job, like before her break, she tried to help this one girl, but she left saying she'll be okay.

"Well.. I guess I'll go back to the front desk.." Ai said to herself as she scratched the back of her head. As she got over to the desk, she picked up her name tag, which said Sakura, though most people call her Ai because its her middle name and there is so many people in Ria named Sakura!

"Lets see who's here in the hospital" she said to herself as she smiled and looked down at a list of patients names. From, which, she didn't even know anyone on the list. Ai sighed as she placed the list down and took out her locket, she opened it, inside was two pictures.

One picture was once a together family she had, her mother, her father, Feena, Hiro, and Oliver. Then the other picture was a picture from her first year in Ria, it was taken at the summer beach trip. ".. time really does fly.. " she whispered to herself as a sorrowful smile appeared on her face as she pulled some strands of lavender hair behind her ear.

Celestial adjusted the girl easily, making sure Alyssa would be completely comfortable before even bothering to answer the question. " Are you comfortable? Of course he will, He'll have to heal naturally like you, unless a doctor decides to fix you up."

Celestial smiled once more before making herself busy. She opened the curtains and the window, airing out the stale hospital room. She then wiped all the counters with a disinfectant before finally taking two towels and wetting one.

Heading over to beside Hiro's bed, she began to wipe him down, removing all the blood, dried and otherwise. After lifting his shirt, she found a gash she hadn't noticed. She quickly finished his scrub down before taking a stiching kit out of a drawer.

A light was moved and a chair placed around his bed. Celeste then sat down and stiched the boy's wound quickly and easily, used to it. She looked like a doctor, not a simple nurse.

After finishing, she put some gauze to keep it from being infected and bound it around his middle with more linen. After finshing her cleanup she went back to Alyssa.

"Don't worry, fights happen all the time. Don't blame yourself, it would have been rude to hold back. Besides, I've been in the hospital more times then you I'd bet.. for sillier reasons then just being in a basic sparr."

She grinned reasurringly at the girl, putting her hand on hers. "Would you like a drink... food... anything?"

" Are you comfortable? Of course he will, He'll have to heal naturally like you, unless a doctor decides to fix you up."

Alyssa dropped the grape onto the plate with a look of despair; she wasn't totally into fruits and vegtables. She tore her attention away from the uninteresting plate of food, and more than happy to answer Celeste's question. "Yes..well...as comfortable as comfortable is right now," she joked, trying to lighten the mood of the situation some; it didn't seem like it worked though. Alyssa coughed at the akward silence and continued speaking, "I thank you though for helping me..and Hiro."

When Celeste's began to clean up the dull hospital room, Alyssa turned to gaze at Hiro sorrowfully, her heart still straining to release the guilt it was hanging onto. She grabbed hold a lock of red and blue hair and began running her delicate fingers through it to rid the once soft hair of its knots; she was sad, and it was obvious.

"Don't worry, fights happen all the time. Don't blame yourself, it would have been rude to hold back. Besides, I've been in the hospital more times then you I'd bet.. for sillier reasons then just being in a basic sparr."

Alyssa looked up from the bloodied sheets to face Celeste. She tried her best to hide the guilt in her heart, but to no avail. She sighed heavily and dropped her head into her open palms. Nothing seemed to cheer her up; or so it seemed.

"I haven't been in this hospital...but I'm not counting mental institues.." Alysa admitted quietly, smoothing over the sheets that covered her bandaged legs. She had never spoke of her time in Ann Dixie's Institue for Unstable Person's, but for some reason, she felt as if she could trust Celeste. Alyssa glanced up up the young lady who was taking care of her and smiled gratefully.

"Would you like a drink... food... anything?"

The thought of food made Alyssa queasy, but a sip of blood would do no harm. If anything it would relax Alyssa immensely. Blood to Alyssa was like drugs to an addict; it kept her satisfied for a good amount of time, but would slowly disitigrate. Anything to stop this despression though. "Umm..could I possibly receive a small packet of blood or something of that sort?"

"I've never been in a mental institue, but I'm sure if the people hunting me caught up, that's the first place they'd dump me."

Alyssa tilted her head to the side in confusion; what did she mean? She ran a hand through her knotted hair, wincing when she came to one knot in paticular that was very stubborn and did not want to come out. She muttered angrily and gave up after a moment of tugging; Alyssa was too tired to continue trying. "Well...I would get out as soon as possible if you ever get caught by whoever," she warned to Celeste, "they don't help at all." She sighed at the memories of the institute at which she stayed, but threw those thoughts away when Celeste continued speaking.

"You may want to rinse yourself off, I can't let you shower because of your legs, so this is as good as it gets I'm afraid."

She groaned unhappily and took the wet towel without any enthusiasm; this wasn't exactly her favorite way to bathe. Alyssa rubbed her hands clean of what blood she could, then her face; at least it as better than nothing. "Thank you..." Alyssa said, handing the towel back to her with a soft, grateful smile; she was really a wonderful doctor.

"Any particular type you enjoy? A, B? I can get any type you want, and I know some people have weird tastes."

The thought of blood made Alyssa eager to feed on whatever they had, but when Celeste asked for a specific kind she didn't know which one to pick; Alyssa always had a rare taste for blood. She stroked her chin as she thought until one paticular kind popped into her mind. "I would love some AB Negative.."

Kaori gaped at the robot for a second, her eyes widening gradually as she took in its words. "Wh-what?" she stammered, then her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Will you just shut up?!" she screamed at the driod, baring her fangs almost without meaning too. "He is not going to die! I won't let him!"

With that, Kaori jumped up from her seat by the bed, pausing just for a second as she heard the boy scream. Kaori's eyes went wide. How was she supposed to counter-act the poison? She had no experience in the medical field, other than the simple bandaging of injuries.

She grit her teeth angrily, hands clenched as she watched Shepard. "I-I'll be right back," she promised, and then darted from the room. She ran down the hall, but didn't have any idea what to do, so she did the first thing that came to her mind: shout.

"Help!" Kaori screamed, voice almost hysterical. What if she didn't make it in time? Three hours... what if she couldn't find help? Damn it, this is a hospital, she growled to herself and then raised her head again, still moving quickly forward to an unknown destination. "Someone, please help him!" She had tears in her widened, fearful eyes, but was keeping them from falling.

Hk watched Kaori leave the room. " Two hours and fitfy-nine minutes remaining" he said loudly. Shepard grasped his chest harder. He was having a fever induced nightmare. He was surronded by darkness and infront of him Was Gordon and Mergex. Both of them were fighting. No matter how fast Shepard ran he could never catch up.


" No NO! I can't catch up..its not fair! I am the strongest! I am the son of a true warrior! I will catch up!" he screamed in his dream as he ran faster. Suddenly the two others faded. Mergex appeared infront of him.


Shepard punched and kicked but his attavks went right through Mergex like a ghost. Mergex held his hand out and shoved it through SHepards heart. The dream ended but Shepard started screaming again clutching his chest as it burned more. " I can't...ever catch up.!" he said and still started screaming.

"Well thank you, I'm sure they wouldn't help me, but maybe I can help some of the other inmates. I was always good at phsycology."

A small chuckle escaped past Alyssa's burgundy painted lips and nodded in agreeance; Celeste is definetely someone she could imagine helping out others psycologically. She brought her hand up to cover her mouth to keep herself from laughing more than was needed, nad she was almost sure she was acting like a fool. "Yes, I can see you doing that. An inmate who helps the other inmates more than the actual doctors." Alyssa joked raising both hands into the air, and spreading them out as if a sign were placed out infront of them both. "Celeste's Inmate Help..I can see it now."

Another chuckle erupted from Alyssa unexpectedly causing her to cough more than laugh; it was oddly embarassing. However, her attention was turned away from her mortifying laugh when a beautiful brush appeared in Celeste's hand. Alyssa's eyes followed her hand cautiously, wondering what in the world she was going to do.

Alyssa was surprised when she felt the brush run gently through her gross hair, and smoothed it out. She ran her fingers through her now long, silky colored hair, her entire body seemed relaxed now that her hair was soft, but Alyssa didn't realize Celeste wasn't done. Her hand jerked back when Celeste grabbed different areas of her blonde locks; twisting them all about. Alyssa had no clue what Celeste had done to her hair till she felt a soft tug at the ends of her hair. She ran her long, thin fingers down the twists and figured out almost instantly that she now had braids.

"This style is the most practical for hospital use. It keeps out tangles, stays in for a long time, and keeps the hair from your eyes. Plus it's simple and easy to redo yourself."

A small smile tugged on Alyssa's delicately put-together as she continued running her fingers over the new hairstyle; Alyssa had never braided her hair before...never. "Thank you.." she whispered gratefully, and gazed up at Celeste with a content grin; she was lucky to have Celeste as a doctor.

"Aw hell. Close your eyes"

Alyssa did as she was told but was filled with a certain bit of befuddlement; what was she planning on doing? Her question was answered when Alyssa felt a soapy substance form on her skin out of nowhere.

She squeezed her eyes tighter even still just incase of soap reaching her eyes. Alyssa shrieked when a large amount of water fell ontop of her entire body causing small bumps to rise on her arms and legs; god it got cold quick. Then, before Alyssa could react, she was dry and looked as if she had never been in a sparr that went wrong. "T-Thank you again Celeste...you're too good for me.." she said quietly as Celeste exited the room with both dirtied towels.

The scent of blood fille Alyssa's nostrils when Celeste re-entered with four bags of AB Negative blood. She squealed reluctantly and took the two bags she had given to her without any sort of disobedience. Once they were in her hands Alyssa popped open the top to the bag and began downing the first with reluctancy; finally...food.

Her eyes followed the other two bags that Celeste had rested on the table next to her, and thought that she would drink them after this. It would be a nice feeling for Alyssa right now. Especially when her magic wore off, and she was induced to more pain.

"Drink this later, don't bloat yourself or get high on it. Wait at least 5 hours before you have it. I mean it."

Alyssa opened her mouth to argue, but Celeste would speak no more of it; it was her way or the highway. She nodded in a deprived sort of way and continued feeding; she was on the second bag now. When the bag emptied into Alyssa's mouth she wiped it clean of any excess blood, and happily licked her hands clean. "Awww....thank..God.." She smiled gratefully toward Celeste and thanked her many more times for the way she had been treated. "I've always hated hospi-" Alyssa began, but was cut off by a familiar voice that was faint and weak.

Alyssa? What... happened? Are you ok now?

She jerked her head over to face Hiro's bed with wide, startled eyes that were a deep red because of the blood she had just drank. Alyssa sat up with a higher posture to see if Hiro was actually awake; she sighe in relief when his eyes were open. "Hiro...I got you to the Hospital. Celeste has been taking care of us, and you've been unconcious for the past couple of hours," she whispered comfortingly, trying to keep Hiro from flipping out, "everything will be fine."

"Celeste Hiro is awake." Alyssa muttered quickly, darting her eyes back to the doctor and talked in a much more serious tone. She pointed over to him and motioned that his eyes were open and he was almost fully concious; he needed tending to right now and not she.
