Onihunter Yuna

12 Reunion

"Okay."

Takashi frowned. "Don't you want to tell her something?"

The blue-haired girl turned around. "I don't know what to say."

"You could tell her to get better soon."

"Hm ..."

Yuna came back to the blonde and went in a crouch in front of her. She took Yui's hands and looked her into her eyes. She watched as her sister blinked now and then. Her breathing was calm, but the blue-haired felt a tension in the hands of the other girl, which encompassed the entire body. Whatever a stupor was, Yui was not paralyzed or something like that. She was tensed up. She was in some kind of shock.

"I'm glad that you're still alive."

Yui stared indifferent ahead of her and blinked. Yuna looked at Takashi, who gave her a compassionate glance.

"Come tomorrow and pay her a visit. Talk to her, or bring something to read with you."

Yuna stood up. "Agreed."

"She's in room 317. Sleep well, Yuna-chan."

"Thanks. See you, Takashi-san."

Yuna looked after the nurse, as he rolled her sister down the hall. So Yui actually was alive. Sort of, anyway. Yoshiro had told the truth.

The high school student went to the fourth floor with the elevator. She left it and found herself at the front desk of that floor. Two nurses were discussing over a patient record. One of them was Midori.

"Excuse me.", mumbled the blue-haired. The sisters turned around and stared at the girl.

"Increase the dose to two milligrams. Let's see if this helps.", told Midori to her colleague.

"Okay, Omura-san." The other nurse left the lobby.

"So, where do you come from? And why are you so dirty?", asked nurse Omura gruffly.

"I took a walk."

"You can't just walk around the hospital, Yuna-chan. That is not allowed. If you need something, call for a nurse."

"Yes, Omura-san."

The girl looked around dejected and kneaded her fingers. Immediately, sister Omura felt sorry that she was so harsh. Actually, she wasn't angry at her patient at all.

"How do you feel?"

Yuna took plenty of time to think about that question. "Pretty good, I'd say."

Midori benevolently noticed that statement. "That is good. Then we can change your daily schedule starting tomorrow."

"In what way?"

"The police wants to question you. And doctor Yamada wants to talk to you too." Yuna felt somewhat uneasy. Midori noticed this immediately and tried to calm the girl. "Don't worry. That is a mere routine."

"If you say so."

"It's okay. Really, Yuna-chan. Don't worry."

"Actually, I wanted to visit my sister tomorrow."

Midori looked at Yuna with wide eyes. "Your sister?"

"Yes. She is also in this hospital."

"The other girl ... she's your sister?"

Yuna nodded.

"We didn't know who she is, so far. She was discovered wandering the city and taken in some time after you, but could not be identified."

Yuna looked at Midori silently.

"I'll try to make an appointment so you can look after your sister."

"Thank you." The girl looked around again. "Where is my room?"

"Room 413. But first we have to change your nightgown."

"It's okay.", Yuna declined.

"Certainly not. This is unsanitary." Midori went to a shelf and fished out a piece of clothing. She came over to her patient and pressed it into her hands. "Have your nightmares become a little better?"

"Nightmares?"

"Sometimes you scream while sleeping."

"I'm sorry."

"No, you don't have to be. Would you maybe like a sleeping pill?"

"No. I don't need anything. It will work without somehow."

Nurse Omura smiled pleased. "A good attitude. Change your nightgown and throw the dirty one in the laundry bag."

"Okay."

"Sleep well, Yuna-chan."

"Thank you. Good night, Omura-san."
