Chapter 4: Hospital

Third Person P.O.V
Seto opens his eyes to see darkness but also what looks like sheets hanged up. Seto sits up and puts his hand on his stomach groaning in pain. He looks down seeing his stomach wrapped in bandages. He looks at the window seeing it nighttime and a storm is outside. He sees his shirt and jacket on a chair. Seto moves off the chair grabbing his jacket putting it on. He pulls the hood up and over his eyes. Seto stumbles back grabbing the bed to steady himself. He takes a breathe or two before he stands up straight. He moves the sheet seeing empty beds in a line and some with sheet covering them.

'Is this..a hospital?' He asks himself. He looks at the banner hanging on a wall and smiles seeing the Dead Army Crest on it. He takes a step out before Commander Brice a.k.a GoldSolace sees him. Seto stops dead in his tracks. Brice narrows his eyes at Seto.

"Don't you freaking dare Seto." Brice whispered just loud enough for only Seto to hear. Seto grips the sheet in his hand. "Get back into bed." Brice walks to Seto.

"What happened?" Seto asks.

"You don't remember?" Brice asks. Seto shakes his head. "Skylar won't speak to anyone about how you got hurt. She only said it's her fault you got hurt."

"Where is she?" Seto asks. Brice shakes his head.

"No. No you get your ass back into bed. You need rest." Brice said grabbing Seto's right arm and putting it around his shoulders.

"I just want to talk to her. Can I do that much? Then back to bed." Seto said. Brice thinks for a second. His other arm wraps around Seto's waist.

"Fine. But your not allowed to get out of bed after this, is that clear?" Brice asks. Seto nods.

"Crystal." Seto said. Brice leads Seto out of the hospital and into the hallway. It is dark and only light by the occasional lightning and a few torches. Guards smile seeing Seto up. "Where's Ty?"

"Ty is in the hospital." Brice said.

"What happened?" He asks. Brice tenses up a little remembering them bring Ty through the gate.

"Um....he got burnt. He was knocked out by it. His right arm and shoulder is burnt to a crisp." Brice said. Brice looks at a guard when they stop at a door. "Can I have some help here please?" A guard opens the two doors. They go through and the doors close. Skylar looks up from her corner and at the two. Tears are in her eyes.

"Skylar." Seto said.

"Seto!" Skylar said getting up. She runs to him and hugs Seto. Seto groans in pain making Skylar let go instantly. "I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Seto laughs slightly moving his arm off of Brice's shoulders and Skylar grabs Seto as he almost falls.

"I'm fine. I had to convince Brice to let me out of that damn bed to see you." Seto said. Skylar hugs Seto and Seto smiles hugging her back.

"I thought you were gonna die." Skylar said hugging him tight. Brice takes a step away from them.

"You know, it was Skylar's birthday two days ago." Brice said. Seto looks at Brice and then at Skylar.

"I missed it?" Seto asks. Skylar shakes her head smiling.

"No you didn't. I don't want to celebrate my birthday without you Seto. I made everyone wait till you and Ty were awake." Skylar said. Brice crosses her arms.

"Which is a bummer cause more cake for us." Brice said.

"How long was I out?" Seto asks.

"A few days. But you were right about Mitch." Skylar said smiling. Seto moves his hands on her shoulders at a total lost.

"What about Mitch? My memory is horrible right now Skylar." Seto said.

"Kim sent guards to go kill Mitch. But Captain Clara and Benja recruits killed them instead. They protect Mitch just like you said they would. Mitch was taken to the hospital at his base and is getting a lot better. Clara said he has three days of rest and is now wanting to get out of bed." Skylar said. Seto smiles.

"Typical Mitch." Seto said.

"Alright let's get you back to the hospital." Brice said. Brice puts Seto's arm around his shoulders and puts his arm around Seto's waist. Skylar kisses Seto's cheek. She hugs him.

"Go to sleep." Seto said wiping the tears away from her eyes. Skylar smiles.

"I can now seeing you up and okay. I'll come to you right when I wake up." Skylar said. Seto nods. Skylar opens the doors and the leaves. Skylar closes it and looks at the bed and smiles. Brice kicks the hospital door open and walks in.

"I need a raise." Brice said.

"In order for the to happen you would need to be getting paid in the first place." Ty said leaning against a counter. Brice stops and looks at him.

"Okay you two, I get your both stubborn as Nether. But get back into bed so you can heal. So Ty move it now." Brice said. Ty raises a eyebrow at him. Seto looks at Ty's arm seeing it bandaged. He has no shirt on like Seto showing bandages and scars. Ty smiles.

"Glad your okay man." Ty said.

"You to." Seto said.

"Ty. Bed now." Brice said sounding a little mad.

"Okay, mother." Ty said walking away. Seto smiles. Brice signs and rolls his eyes.

"Your lucky Seto can't walk by himself or else you would be feeling my foot up your ass." Brice said. Ty turns around outside his room.

"Bring it Bricey." Ty said. Seto smiles while Brice smiles slightly.

"Go to sleep already Ty." Brice said. Ty walks into his room. Seto always likes to be at the Dead Army. It's mostly how Ty and Brice work together that amuses him. Brice leads him to Seto's room and Seto grabs the bed leaning against it. Brice takes Seto's arm off letting go of Seto. But he grabs Seto's arm. "Do you need help?" Seto shakes his head.

"I got it Brice." Seto said. Brice lets go of Seto. Seto gets in bed.

"Okay, now don't move from that bed." Brice said.

"Okay fine." Seto said. Brice crosses his arms.

"We'll have a doctor check on you in the morning. See how much longer your hospitalized. Night Seto." Brice said moving the curtain a little.

"Night." Seto said. Brice leaves. Seto looks outside again before he curls up on the bed pulling his hood down and falling asleep.
--------
Sky flattens the paper out against the table. Brice comes next to him looking at it. A high tech map of the world. You can zoom into any location you want and see what is there. Sky has dark brown hair that covers his yellow eyes slightly, black sunglasses in his hair, a hooded black cloak with the Sky Army Crest on it, a small purple amethyst gem with golden binding connected on a chain that us around his neck, black fingerless gloves, duel swords on his back, a dark gray shirt, black jeans, red sneakers, black jacket, and a small scar on neck. Sky zooms the map onto the area where Mitch was found.

"If Kim was here and heading towards Seto's place. Why didn't she just appear at Seto's and not ever bother meeting Mitch and his recruits?" Sky asks. Brice shrugs.

"I don't know Sky. But it doesn't make sense." Brice said. Seanna walks in.

"What you guys up to?" Seanna asks.

"Unless she was looking for something she thought Mitch had." Sky said ignoring Seanna.

"Now what could he have what she wanted now?" Brice asks also ignoring Seanna. Seanna crosses her arms.

"Wow guys." She said.

"Right. Mitch was heading towards Seto's though." Sky said moving the map towards Seto's but stops it. Seanna walks across the table from them looking at the map.

"Ooo cool! Is this one of those hologram maps?" Seanna asks.

"Maybe she d-"

"GUYS!" Seanna yelled. Sky looks at her.

"O hey Seanna." Sky said.

"What you need?" Brice asks. Seanna leans against the table crossing her arms.

"You guys are ignoring me." Seanna said. Brice looks at Sky.

"Maybe she thought Mitch could have saw what she was about to do to Seto's so mo witnesses." Brice said. Sky crosses his arms and looks at Brice. Seanna raises an eyebrow.

"Two can play at that game." Seanna said. She grabs the map and pulls it off the table. Sky slams his hand on the table and looks at Seanna. She smirks.

"Seanna no. Give it back." Sky said.

"What? I can't hear you. You gonna have speak up." Seanna said. Seanna runs out the door and Sky follows her. Seanna folds it up the map a little.

"Seanna!" Sky yells. Seanna runs down the hall laughing a little. Brice leaves the room watching.

"Seanna that's not cool!" Brice yells. Seanna runs outside and Sky goes into a room. Recruits are inside talking. Sky looks at the window and smiles. He climbs up onto table running across. He opens a window and looks out seeing Seanna looking at the door while running. She stops probably wondering why Sky is. Sky smiles and jumps out the window and lands on his feet behind Seanna. Sky grabs Seanna. Seanna screams and moves the map out far in front of her. Sky tried to grab it but can't. They argue as a horse stops by them. The person gets off the horse.

"Seanna. Sky." They said. They both stops. Seanna smirks at Sky.

"Busted." She said. Sky turns around looking at Alesa. Alesa has her arms cross.

"Hey, whatca doing here Alesa?" Sky asks. Seanna tries to run away but Sky grabs her arm stopping her. Sky grabs the map out of her hand. "Again, not cool."

"Do I want to know what was just happening?" Alesa asks.

"Well-" Sky covers Seanna's mouth with his hand.

"No." Sky said.
--------
Seto opens his eyes hearing talking. He moves his head to the side a little.

"Seto. How you feeling?" Em asks. Em comes next to Seto placing her hand on his arm. Seto looks at Em and at Skylar.

"Fine." Seto said. Skylar crosses her arms.

"Em can we be alone for a while?" Skylar asks. Em nods and leaves. Seto sits up and Skylar sits on the bed.

"What is i-it?" Seto asks.

"Did you have any nightmares like you usually do?" Skylar asks. Seto looks away from her.

"Can we please not t-talk about this?" Seto asks. Skylar puts her hands in her lap.

"I just want you to be open with me Seto. Don't you think it is time to maybe find a girl?" Skylar asks. Seto looks at Skylar.

"No." Seto said.

"Why not?" Skylar asks.

"Skylar is this about you or about me?" Seto asks. Skylar signs and pauses for a few seconds.

"Okay this is about me. I'm 18 now. I'm practically a adult." Skylar said.

"I say once your legally old enough to drink then your adult." Seto said. Skylar looks at Seto for a few seconds.

"But that's 21. I have 3 years till then." Skylar said.

"Yay, she can do math." Seto said. Skylar grabs Seto's arm.

"But there is this gu-"

"No." Seto said.

"No? Why? You didn't let me finish. Maybe you should find yourself a girlfriend." Skylar said.

"Now don't you go c-changing the subject." Seto said. Skylar lets go of his arm. "Who is this guy?"

"Jason." Skylar said. Seto smiles.

"I knew it." Seto said.

"Wait how?" Skylar asks. Seto rolls his eyes.

"Skylar, I've been taking care of you since you were six years old. I know things about you that would surprise you or you don't know about yourself." Seto said. Skylar looks at the floor and at Seto's stomach that is showing the bandage since he never put back on his shirt.

"And I know you. Your lonely." Skylar said.

"Skylar-"

"Seto..." Skylar said. She looks at his eyes. "I have never seen you with a girl. You just take care of me and if I'm busy, drown yourself in work." She puts her hand on his. "I don't need you as much as I use to when I was six. I do still need you for magic training and other stuff. But don't you think I have taken your life from you enough that you need to have someone in your life? You deserve it."

"No. I'm done with the dating thing Skylar." Seto said.

"Why?" Skylar asks. Seto looks away from her. He moves his hand off of hers.

"That's personal." Seto said. Skylar grips the bed in her fist moving her head down a little so she looks at Seto's eyes.

"How personal? Se-"

"Skylar stop." Seto snapped. Skylar moves away a little shocked. She looks at his bandage again.

"S-Sorry." She said. The doctor comes in.

"Okay. Let's change those bandages and see how the stitches are doing." He said. Seanna and Dylan come in. Seto moves to the side of the bed. Seanna stops, staring at Seto. The doctor starts unwrapping the bandages. Skylar looks at Seanna.

"Any reason why you-"

"Skylar." Seanna warned. Skylar stands up and walks near the doctor. He takes the bandage off. Seanna blushes slightly seeing a cut with stitches on it on Seto's abs. Skylar crosses her arms and smirks looking over at Seanna.

"It's looking great. I pretty sure you can leave but be careful. Pulling those stitches out will be fatal to you." The doctor said. Seanna meets Skylar's eyes and rolls her eyes. Dylan grins.

"Seanna, is Seto shirtless too much for you to handle?" Dylan asks. Seanna hits Dylan's right shoulder. Seto looks at Seanna. The doctor starts rewrapping Seto's stomach.

"Same thing happens with Ty. Girls just can't handle him without a shirt on." The doctor said. Skylar and Dylan laugh and Seanna looks at Seto.

"Look at Skylar. She is handling it." Seanna said.

"Well yeah, Seto raised me himself since I was six Seanna. I have seem him like this enough it's nothing to me. But you, pathetic." Skylar said. Seto smiles slightly and looks away from the three. Seanna looks Skylar. She crosses her arms smiling a little.

"Like you should be talking. Jason tends to get hurt a lot." Seanna said.

"That's because Jason is a klutz." Dylan said. The doctor clips it together and stands up straight.

"There you go. Be careful. If the stitches reopen, come to us immediately. Skylar keep an eye on him will you for us?" The doctor asks looking over at her. Skylar nods.

"I will keep my eye on him." Skylar said. The doctor leaves. Skylar hands Seto his shirt as Ty comes in. Skylar looks at Ty. "How about you, how you feeling?" Seto stands up taking off his jacket.

"My arm and shoulder hurts. Other then that, pretty good." Ty said. Seto puts on his black t shirt and then his jacket. "Glad to see your okay." Seto looks at Ty.

"You to." Seto said. Sky comes in and smiles seeing Seto up.

"You seem better." Sky said. Skylar crosses her arms.

"You seem nervous." Skylar said. Seanna smirks.

"Alesa is here and caught him fighting with me. Now he is in trouble." Seanna said. Sky looks at Seanna.

"I am not in trouble. If I was, I would be blaming you." Sky said. Seanna looks at him.

"Me? What did I do?" Seanna asks.

"You took my map and ran away. You started it." Sky said. Seanna rolls her eyes.

"No you did! Whe-"

"Alright, children stop your arguing." Ty said. Sky and Seanna look at Ty.

"I'm not gonna argue with you. Zane is here. He said Jason can't come here." Sky said.

"Why not?" Dylan asks.

"Zane just said that its not his business to talk about if Jason doesn't want him to." Sky said.

"Okay." Skylar said.

"Also, I need to leave. Happy birthday. Sorry I can't stay for the party." Sky said. Skylar smiles.

"Thanks Sky and it's okay. Thanks for coming here. Tell Alesa I said bye." Skylar said. Sky nods.

"See ya guys." Sky said leaving. Ty, Seanna, and Dylan leave. Skylar looks at Seto

"It's all my fault you got hurt. I could have took the hit." Skylar said.

"I taken worst hits then that Skylar. I'm fine and it wasn't your fault." Seto said. Skylar looks at Seto for a second before she hugs him.

"I'm just glad your okay. You scared me." Skylar said. Seto hugs her back.

"Me too." He said quietly.
