Hospital

[https://fullmetaleclipse.rpg-board.net/t121p45-chimera-lab Look at Will's first Post on that page. It explains why]

Kotaro returned to the hospital, his mind set to one goal. He walked up to the counter. “Is Doctor Resha in?” The secratery had Kotaro sit while she checked.

As Resha read the book, she felt her heart break. Will... d..dead? And a nurse came to her room, telling that someone was looking for her. She wasn't up to seeing anyone, but the shock hasn't hit full yet and she just nodded. And told the nurse to bring the person in.

A nurse came and took Kotaro to the room Resha was in. He entered the room, seeing Resha carresing a book. “Thats the book of the Hawthorns. He must have given it to her.” He whispered. Kotaro walked over to her. “Hello Resha.” Kotaro closed his eyes. “The book told you huh?” Kotaro sat down on a nearby chair. Although Zergio and him hadn't really known eachother much, it was painfull to have a friend dead. One look at Resha told Kotaro that her and Will had been more than friends. He shook his head, holding back tears. He had to remain strong. To help those who needed it. “He didn't even know me much yet he risked his life to save me and Tosh.” He whispered.

She was still in a bit of a denial to the truth but Kotaro's words crushed her. So it was true. The book couldn't have been lying... but...

Her lips quivered and her eyes watered. "...wha-what... happened?"

Her big brother had already left her. Now... her little brother has left her for good. And she couldn't help but cry. D:

Kotaro hated seeing pain. “I trust he told you of the nova's?” He placed a hand on her shoulder. “He used it to save mine and Tosh's life.” Kotaro was desperatly holding back tears. “I tried to save him after his soul was ejected, but I could't.” A lone tear crept down his face. “Damn.”

She nodded - he told her of the novas but she had no idea what he was talking about when he said Will's soul was ejected.

"...soul was..." so she tried to ask but her words were drowned with her sobs.

Kotaro thought of a way he could put it simply. "When you use Nova's it causes you to either use or gain energy. Mine and Tosh's souls were trapped by a soul that had taken over Tosh's body. I tried to get the soul out but only got trapped. Zergio used the Nova's to take mine and the other soul out of Tosh, but when he put my soul back in my body, he kept the hostile soul in him. He had used too much energy saving me and Tosh, so his soul was ejected from his body, landing on the ground turning into a flower. I destroyed the hostile soul, but I couldn't save Will." Kotaro shook his head. "I'm sorry. Here, I think you should have this." Kotaro pulled out the vial of Will's blood.

She cried quietly and looked up at him, nodding at his explanation. It seemed surreal. The last time she saw him was here at the hospital. Now... he's gone. It scared her too much. First was Fang, now it was Will.

Resha took the vial and held it carefully, her hands were shaking.
"Oh.." she didn't know what to say, as she tried her best to keep her tears from falling. "I'm... tha-thank you, Kotaro..."

Then she breathed in. "Are you... okay then? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Keixth entered the hospital. After how many tries.
In hopes he would find a doctor that can take a look at his bruises.

A nurse came in the room, and Resha stood and wiped her tears. There was a patient waiting and she excused herself from Kotaro, saying she'll be back.

She was led to the lobby and saw Keixth. "Oh! Mister Keixth! What's wrong?" Her eyes were still a bit puffy but she hoped he would not notice. :<

Keixth heard someone call him.
He looked at the direction of the voice and saw Resha with puffy eyes.
*was she crying?* keixth thought.
Oh, hey there miss resha. and may i ask why you are crying? keixth greeted and then asked.

She smiled sheepishly. "A bit!" she grinned, seeing no point in hiding it, when it was so obvious. "But anyway! You need to be checked up on? What's wrong?" :O

Keixth looked at resha oddly.
"errm. . okay" keixth said.
"oh. . yeah i was gonna check my bruises while i was practicing" Keixth scratched the back of his head.

She led him to her office. "Okay! Let's get those bruises fixed!" she grinned. "Where are they?" She tapped her foot, jokingly.

She didn't want him to worry about her, so she tried to be as jolly as usual.

"errr. . okay" Keixth said.
"actually they're on my shoulders then my arms." Keixth mumbled.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "You look down," she took a look at his bruises and fixed them up.

"oh. . nothing." keixth said
"just thinking that's all no need to worry" Keixth said
He winced when resha touched his shoulder.

"Keixth, be honest," she said, stern. "What happened?" She continued to fix his other cuts and bruises. "Don't tell me you got into a brawl or something!"

"Its. . . nothing really just your average clumsiness " Keixth faked a smile.
"but really why were you crying just a while ago?" keixth asked.

Resha narrowed her eyes at Keixth then smiled. "Okaaay then!" she grinned. "If you say so! Be more careful, okiedokie?"

As she applied some ointment on his bruised shoulder, she replied. "...Wi-Will... is gone..." she said, biting down a sob, her hands shaking.

Keixth smiled."yup. . just. . . being clumsy." Keixth said.

"Come again?" Keixth got shocked at the news.

She nodded. "I was just informed just a whiiiiiiile ago," she said, rubbing her eyes. "Will... died... to save Kotaro and Toshii..." She took out a vial. "This is his blood."

Tears pooled in her eyes.

Kotaro was waiting in the reception area while Resha worked. He had been thinking a bit about the blood he had given Resha. Hopefully she knows what to do with it, and puts it into a person who wont miss-use the nova's. Kotaro had contemplated having the blood transplanted into him. He knew the dangers of the nova and the mayhem they could cause in the wrong hands. But Resha had been close to Will, and he had decided she should find someone. Kotaro stood up and walked to Resha's office, knocking on the door.

Resha opened the door as she pocketed the vial and saw Kotaro, and reddened in embarrassment. "OH, I'M SO SORRY!" she said, bowing immediately. She looked up at him and covered her face - she must've made him wait long! "I didn't forget you were waiting for me! Really!" D:
