" You live here? No scratch that, You work here?" Kid exclaimed, cringing again when his bandages tugged.

Killer closed the door as he came in. " No I don't live here, but I do visit often. I quite enjoy cooking human food. I never stay long. You know what happens when a demon is away from hell for too long" he said in a low voice.

Kid nodded, he did know and he didn't want to think about it. " So your a nurse then?" he smirked.

Killer shook his head " No, I'm only here to save your ass. I fed the local authorities a bogus story about what happened. As well as I had fake x rays and cat scans made up. Oh and by the way your welcome"

Kid glared, " I don't need your help" he said thru clenched teeth.

Killer scoffed, " Right, just like you didn't need the humans help to get to this point. Why haven't you healed yourself? "

Kid looked away, " I, i....cant" he admitted in barely a whisper.

Killer cursed, covering his eyes with his hand. " I thought something was up when I couldn't sense you" He began to pace as he tapped his forehead. " I suppose when you got knocked to the surface your hellfire was already depleted"

Kid didn't seem nearly as concerned as Killer. " That's an easy fix, Just heal me and we can get out of here"

Killer stopped, looking over at his friend. " I cant, I only have enough hellfire to open up the portal once"

Kid stared at him, as the seriousness of the situation started to set in. " Shit" he sighed closing his eyes, Thinking a minute. " Couldn't you just take me with you when you open the portal?"

Killer considered this for a moment, then nodded. " Yeah, that might work. I'll have to support you until we get there, but that should work"

Kid grinned, " Great" he felt much better now. He may be temporarily out of hellfire, but at least he wasn't stuck on the surface.

Killer walked to the door, " ill go see if there's somewhere I can open a portal here. Ill come back later" He waved as he left.

A man wearing a lab coat carrying a clip board came in almost as soon as Killer left. There was no doubt this was the doctor that had saved him. The mans silver eyes surveyed the clip board before his eyes flitted to Kid. He seemed tense as he approached the bedside. " These papers are your release papers" He tossed the clipboard on Kids chest. He wasn't too gentle about it.

Kid cringed as the board thumped against his wounded torso. He glared first at the doctor, then at the clipboard. " That's no way to treat your patient" he sneered, picking up the clipboard. He stared down at the words on the page. " Shouldn't you let me heal more before discharging me?"

Laws eyes narrowed, " Don't play dumb I know what you are"

This surprised Kid because he hadn't seen him in his demon form. The girl had though. Maybe she told him. He decided to play dumb anyways. "what are you talking about doc? I'm just a suffering patient"

The muscles in Laws neck tensed as he stared at the red head, but he didn't respond. Kid read the name at the bottom of the release form. " Whose this broad?"

This time Law did respond. " ____ Is the reason your sorry ass is still alive. If I were you I'd be a lot more grateful. She's also offered you her house while you recover. Something I'm strongly against, but she wont change her mind."

Kid shook his head, " There's no need, I have a friend I can stay with"

Law shook his head, arms crossed over his chest. " As much as I don't like the idea of _____ taking care of you. I've taught her a lot. I doubt your friend knows much about the medical field"

Kid Scoffed tossing the clipboard to the side. It landed on the floor with a loud clang. " Who is she that you care so much about her? She your girlfriend?"

To Kids surprise and amusement Law blushed before looking away. " No...She's not" he muttered stooping to pick up the clip board. He then turned to leave.

" Where ya goin doc?" Kid asked amused that he seemed to have struck a nerve.

" To find someone to help you get ready for transport. The sooner you are out of my hair the better" he said over his shoulder as he left.

Kid was still grinning like the devil he was when Killer came back in. Killer did not look so happy. " What's wrong?" Kid asked as the blonde man closed the door.

Killer looked stressed, and it took a lot to stress him out normally. " I found a place to make a portal." He stated

Kid shrugged, " Ok, so help me up and we can go before Doctor Racoon comes back" Kid started to shuffle around his covers when Killer held up a hand.

" There's more. I tried to open the portal, so it would be easier for us to just go when I got you there. The portal wouldn't open" He looked confused as he said this. Like it was the strangest thing he'd ever done.

"What do you mean it wouldn't open? Kid asked, his voice escalating in volume. His chance of a clean and easy get away seemed to be slipping away.

Killer shook his head, running a hand thru his hair. It was a nervous tick. He was definitely nervous now. " I don't know, The portal opened at first, but suddenly a wall blocked the doorway and it disappeared"

" Ok, so just open another portal" Kid said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Killer sighed, rubbing his face. " I told you I only had enough for one more portal. Kid we're both stuck here now"

Kid growled in frustration. " Now I have to stay at some stupid human woman's house" he groaned.

Killer lifted an eyebrow, " Why is that?"

" The Doctor said you don't know enough medical wise for me to stay with you"

Killer shrugged " He's not wrong" he admitted. " Kid since we are both stuck here with no access to hellfire. You have to treat your body like its human. Because if you die, you may be stuck in hell with no way back up to the surface"

" What's so wrong with that?" Kid asked seeing nothing wrong with never coming back here.

Killer pointed to Kids bandaged chest " Have you forgotten who put you in this state? Have you forgotten that he's most likely on the surface? Probably him and who knows how many of his minions. As much as I'd enjoy leaving the humans to fend for themselves if we do he'll likely take over the surface and all of hell as well"

Kid lurched up in bed, ignoring the fire raging in his torso from the sudden movement. " Like hell I'll allow that to happen" he snarled. He wasn't doing this to be a hero. He was only doing this because he wanted to claim the throne for himself.

" Exactly!" Killer shouted back, then lowered his voice. " So you have to play nice with the human girl until I can figure out a way to get back to get more hellfire"

Kid didn't like it, but he was right. He had no choice but to go along with the doctors orders. Quietly the door pushed open. A small nurse pushing a wheel chair came in looking terrified. Kid wondered how long she had been at the door. " I'm here for Eustass Kid" She said quietly. She looked from the bed to the man in scrubs, " Nurse um.." She glanced at his nametag. " Nurse Kay could you help me load Mr Eustass into the wheel chair?"

Kid smirked " Yes Nurse Kay, Please do help" His smirk was wiped off when Killer and the nurse hefted him onto the wheelchair.

"I'll push him" Killer offered.

The nurse shook her head, " No, the doctor gave me strict instructions to do it myself"

Killer shrugged and Kid rolled his eyes as the nurse began to push the wheelchair. Law was waiting at the front doors. He intercepted them, " Ill take it from here" He said eying both Killer and the other nurse. The nurse took the hint immediately. She was likely afraid of the head surgeon. Laws eyes leveled with the tall blond. " And you, your services are no longer needed"

Killer chuckled as he pushed open the front doors to leave. " Get a job and lose it on the same day" He muttered. " How do the humans do it?"

Law pushed the wheelchair toward the waiting car on the curb. After Checking that Killer was far enough away he muttered low enough for just the two of them to hear. " If you harm so much as a hair on her head. I'm warning you, it will be your demise."

Kid scoffed, still playing the part of the poor patient, " Why would I ever do such a thing?"

Law stopped the wheelchair outside the car. " I'm just warning you. Ill be watching"

Kid didn't have a chance to respond as the drivers side door opened and you came around to open the passengers side door. " Can I help Law?" you asked.

Law shook his head, " No, Ill do it. Start the car"

" Alright" you said and smiled first at Law then at Kid.

Kid met your eyes and recognized them. Which was ridiculous. He didn't know many humans. He remembered but it was sluggish. She brushed her fingertips across his cheek pushing hair away from his face. She smiled at him. He remembered thinking if she knew what she was smiling at she might not be smiling. Then she said something to him and smiled again. He was already fading back into the darkness so he couldn't hear what the words were.

" I can recline the seat" you Offered.

Law smiled, even though it was obviously difficult for him to do. " Thank you" He said helping Kid into the front seat. After ten long minutes he was safely in the seat and the door was shut. Law came around to your side of the car. " Call me if you need anything" he said, silver eyes heavy with worry.

You smiled hugging him " Thank you" You say.

He frowns, " For what?"

You smiled " For trusting me"

He sighs. "___, its him I don't trust"

" Ill be fine" you promise hugging him again before getting in the car.

You drove off, watching as Law disappeared in the rearview mirror.

" Are you guys like, dating?" Kid asked. He eyeballed you until you glanced over at him.

You shook your head, " No, but he is my best friend. My very overprotective best friend."

Kid sighs, " right I get the picture The surgeon guy is big and scary. No need to repeat that again. Im already trembling in fear"

You smirk, " Im not surprised you two don't get along"

" Why?" He asked

" Your just alike" You laughed at the expression he gave you for that comment.

" I'm nothing like him, Trust me" Kid said laying his head back and closing his eyes. A sure way to end the conversation. Indeed you didn't know how true those words were. In fact The two of them were more like fire and ice. complete opposites.
