Chapter 7
LemonKitty reviewed ‘Cold’ and said I did a good job on my lemon! Yay! I was actually feeling a little down about it, thinking it sucked. I still think it sucks but that certainly helped. Thankees!
Not much is going to happen in this chapter. It’s mostly just some extra info on Leukemia and to make everyone sad.
Chapter 7
Botan was getting very annoyed. They had all been sitting in the waiting room for nearly two hours waiting for Kuwabara’s operation to be done. They had all sat and talked for a while and made plans together.
Kaeko and Botan had decided that as soon as Kuwabara was released they were going to take him out shopping.
“Oh, he’ll love that…” Yusuke had mumbled under his breath. He instantly shut up as soon as he saw the evil glare that the girls were giving him.
“Oh?” said Botan “And why do you say that Yusuke?”
Yusuke hesitated before answering, not wanting to get himself caught in a battle with the two women, (Yukina was talking to Kurama about something else.) He knew it would be a battle he couldn’t possibly win.
“Well…” he said carefully, “I…don’t think Kuwabara would have much fun just going with a bunch of girls. They’re…uh…too giggly for his tastes.”
‘Too giggly?!’ Yusuke mentally slapped himself. ‘What the hell is that supposed to mean?’
“I mean…um…that when girls go shopping together they can’t help but…um…looking at all their girly stuff that guys just aren’t interested in!”
“err…”
Kaeko and Botan were giving him very odd looks. Even Kurama and Yukina had stopped their conversation to stare quizzicaat tat the demon lord.
Perhaps what Yusuke is implying,” said Kurama, “is that another male should accompany Kuwabara.”
Yusuke snapped his fingers “Yeah!” he cried excitedly “Exactly! That’s what’s I meant!”
‘Phew! Thank-you Kurama!’
Kaeko blinked in sudden understanding. “Oh, I see! You want to come with us!”
Yusuke sweatdropped. “….” ‘Doh!’ (homer simpson, had to do it ^__^)
Botan smiled at him, “Yes that’d be great!” She exclaimed “We can all go the mall together and get some clothes and stuff for you boys and your apartment…”
“um, it’s kinda small…”
“…and we can check out some of the new department stores and have lunch there and you tow can hold our stuff while Kaeko and I try on clothes…”
“Botan…”
“…and then we can all go see a movie together!”
“Ooohhh! Princess Diaries 2 is out!” said Kaeko “That movie was so cute!”
“Great!”“Yea“Yeah…great…” Yusuke sighed heavily ‘Taking a couple of bubbly girls shopping and a chick flick. Just great.’
That was over an hour ago. Botan and Kaeko had talked some more about their plans, Yusuke had sulked and Kurama and Yukina had returned to their conversation. Now everyone was quiet and their minds had returned to how Kuwabara was doing.
‘We’ve been waiting here for two hours already! Aren’t they finished yet?’
“Yusuke, how long did Dr. Himura say the operation would take?”
“A couple hours.”
“Do you think something could have gone wrong?” Yukina asked nervously. She and Kuwabara had broken up a year ago but s he still cared for him greatly.
Yusuke flinched at the idea. “No I…I’m sure he’s fine. He’ll be just fine.” ‘He better be! I promised him everything would be all right!’
Yusuke got up and started pacing. Kaeko started biting her nails nervously and Kurama started bouncing his leg.
All of this, along with her concern over Kuwabara’s condition, was the reason Botan was now so annoyed.
After a few minutes she got so sick of it that with a heavy sigh she got up and aid she was going for a walk. While she was walking she came across a small library in the hospital.
‘A library?’ She thought. Entering the room she saw that the books were mostly medical books. The topics ranged on all sorts of medical terms, hospital procedures, pregnancies and common and rare diseases. Botan picked out a book called ‘The Encyclopedia of Common Diseases.’
Looking in the index she looked up ‘cancer> Leukemia’ and flipped to it. Botan had heard of Leukemia before and knew it was a form of cancer. But other than that she knew nothing of Kuwabara’s disease. She could ask Kurama or Yusuke but she didn’t want to admit that the deity of death didn’t know squat about one of the leading causes of death in Japan.
“Leukemia is a cancer of the blood caused by an accumulation of white blood cells. There are four different kinds of leukemia…” Botan skimmed the page until she found ‘chronic leukemia: symptoms include an enlarged spleen and/or liver, bone pain, paleness, loss of appetite, bleeding easily, weight loss and susceptibility to infections.’
‘Granulocytes produced by bone marrow in the spine engulf and digest bacteria but in a leukemia patient, the body is deprived of vital components of its immune system. Diseased cells accumulate in the blood and certain organs, forcing out healthy cells and interfering with organs functions.’
‘Life expectancy for chronic leukemia is up to 3 years.’
Botan closed the book. She already knew about the different treatments and their side effects. ‘Three years? That’s it?’ Botan felt tears forming in her raspberry eyes. ‘But he’s only 23 now. He’ll only be 26!’
Botan sat at the table and placed her head in her hands as the tears began to fall. ‘Kuwabara! Don’t you know you’re not supposed to die this way?’ Botan thought as she sobbed bitterly to herself. ‘You’re supposed to die nobly in battle, protecting humanity or your friends. They way you always wanted to! Or at least as an old man! Not by some stupid disease in you mid-twenties!’
Now Botan was really sobbing, realizing all of the things that Kuwabara would miss. He wouldn’t be able to walk his sister down the aisle when she got married. Or see any of her children. He’d never marry himself or have any children of his own
Of course Botan knew a lot could still happen in 3 years but with Kuwabara constantly in and out of the hospital there wouldn’t be any time for dating! He’d never get to finish college and fulfill his dreams of becoming an artist. He’d never make a name for himself through his art like he’d wanted to.
He’d never experience the love and joy of a lover. The sweet and endearing kisses, the loving and gentle caresses, the warm comforting hugs.
‘Of course’, Botan thought suddenly, ‘There is always Yusuke.’ She knew that Kuwabara and Yusuke loved each other. She didn’t know how long they had but she first noticed it when Yusuke thought Kuwabara was dead. And again when Yusuke was killed for the second time. When Yusuke had left to go to Makai Botan could tell that those were the most miserable 3 years of Kuwabara’s life.
Everyone except for Kuwabara seemed to know this. Yusuke had known for at least a year now. He and Kaeko had broken up because of it. Then Yukina and Kuwabara had broken up and Yusuke had hoped that maybe Kuwabara would return his feelings. But the seemed completely oblivious to the detectives advances.
Everyone knew that Kuwabara was bi-sexual so that wasn’t the issue. He was just too naïve to recognize Yusuke’s flirting for what it was. Not wanting to ruin their friendship, Yusuke gave up.
‘Although,’ Botan thought, ‘now that they’re living together it does seem to finally be dawning on Kuwabara. I just hope…’ “Botan!” Botan jumped at the voice that had interrupted her thoughts. Kaeko was standing in the doorway looking relieved and anxious at the same time.
“Yes Kaeko?”
“Kuwabara’s finally out of surgery. Dr. Himura says we can see him for a little bit.”
Botan sighed in relief. “Oh thank goodness!”
Botan followed the other girl toward their friends’ room. ‘I just hope Kuwabara will return Yusuke’s feelings. Before it’s too late.’
Um… I was going through all of my chapters so I could repost them on FFN and realized that this one had somehow gotten cut off in the middle. So sorry.
Not much is going to happen in this chapter. It’s mostly just some extra info on Leukemia and to make everyone sad.
