Yukina sighed getting up."if stay moeping around ,ill go nuts... the hospital has a library,thats where im going",she muttered and left her room and wnet to the library that was just down the hall.Telling a nurse where shed be if anyone were to ask. Going into the libray she was glad to see no one in there,going to the mythological section she colecetd all the books she could find on liviathin and headed toa table ,setting the books down and began to read through them,trying to keep her mind off things.

"Thank you," Kalin said, switching directions. When he got to the building's library, he started searching for Yukina.

"Yukina, I came to apologize for earlier..." He called.

---

"So," Tira said, pulling up a chair and sitting on it backwards. "Edward's going stir crazy. And according to the swearing, he's also doing perfectly fine." She pointed to the place Yusei's leg should have been. "Meaning, provided the nurses let him near a phone, that call to the Rockbells should be made before the day's up."

Yukina jumped a little hearing Kalin nd looked up from her book and sighed."dont worry about it Kalin...its fine",she said and went back toher book.

Yusei smiledsome."thats great"

Jack nodded."yeah you;'ll be back to your old self soon enough...."

"Yeah...provided Winry doesn't send you and Ed to the hospital again." Tira said. "Turn's out Ed's automail arm got messed up again," she shook her head. "Winry turns a wrench into a deadly weapon. Then again, so does her grandmother."

---

"You don't look like it's okay." Kalin replied.

Yukina sighed setting the book down."yes i am hurt,but theres nothig i vando do about it right?I should really learn not to get my hopes up to much ,so theres is nothing youneed to apologize for Kalin",she saidlooking at himamoment then went back to her book.

__________________________________________________ ________________________________________________

Yusie laughed nerously."w-when i get that automail,remind me to be very carefull with it"

Great. She's pissed. Kalin thought. Think, Kalin, think....

"Hey, they're the ones who started it." Yeah. Like she's going to believe that lame excuse.

---

"I think you'll have an easier time of keeping your automail intact than Ed does." Tira replied. "And don't be afraid to treat it as you would a normal limb; automail was developed so that it would operate the same as a normal limb. It's no less fragile." She patted her left shoulder. "In fact, I'd say that it actuall stands up more to some stresses than flesh-and-blood limbs."

Yukina looked at him."Kalin ,what di you think imupset over?",she said looking at him suspishously.

__________________________________________________ _________________________________________________
Yusie nodded."good to know,do you have auto mail?",he asedlooking to her sholder.

Tira nodded. "Yes, my left arm." She said, pulling off her glove to show them. "My right foot's the same way, up to the mid-calf."

---

I knew it. Kalin thought. "Would I be right in guessing that you overheard Yusei, Jack, and Crow teasing me?"

Yukina sighed."the easeing part ... no...thats what they do,they have lot of catching up to do.... its your reaction to the teaseing is what hurt me",she said getting up and headed for the door before any tears cameto her eye.

__________________________________________________ ______________________________________

Yusei frowed."what happened?"

"Yukina, wait." Kalin said. "I...." He trailed off, and looked to the floor. You idiot....

---

"The same thing Ed pulled." Tira replied. "I tried doing alchemy's taboo--resurrecting the dead."

Yukina stopped andturned to him,some tears in her eyes."dont apologize for it Klain",she said seriously andsmiled softly."besiedes,itsnot your faultyou feel the way you do,no more then itsmy fault thewayi do ... i just ,get hopefull to fast ... witch i really should stop doing",she said smileing some then headeddown the hall looking at the floor.

Yusie frowned."oh,I'm sorry"

Kalin stood in the library, staring at the door, for several more long moments. "Gah! I just made her mood worse!" He exclaimed.

---

Tira shrugged. "They're old wounds, and I've lived with them longer than any of you want to know." She said. "I just wish some lessons didn't have to be learned the hard way..."

Yusei nodded."i agree...."

Yukina sighedndwnet to vist Ed,wipeing her tears as she entered his room."H-hey Ed ,how are you feeling?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Edward said. "Bored as hell, but fine." He frowned at Yukina. "What's got you upset?"

---

"Well," Tira said. "I'll leave you guys to your conversation. I'm going to check on Ed."

Yukina smiled."im glad your okay",she said then blinked when he asked her wht had her upset.Then sighed sitting on a chair."me beig conplete idiot"

__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ______

Yusie laughed a little."right"

"And why were you being an idiot?" Edward asked.

---

"So, how long before you and Ed are released?" Kyle asked.

Yusei sighed."absolutely no idea"

Yukina looked to him."thinking Kalin or anyonewouldhave feelings for me...."

"Well, that's lovely." Kyle said. "And from what I gathered, Ed's on a first-name basis here. I get the feeling he's here waaaay too often."

---

Edward blinked. "Okaaaay......" He said, not knowing what to say.

Jack laughed a little."agreed"
