Keisko waited frantically while everyone was in the house. Her foot tapped as she sat against the Emergency Ambulance she'd borrowed from the Hospital. She sighed dramatically and stood up and started pacing. She couldn't remember when she'd been this worried ever. She hated thinking about who would come out hurt or worse... dead.
She paced and watched down the hill where the Manor laid. Frankie seemed just as restless as she was and Sam had actually taken off back into the Manor, without a word. They had to come out soon.

Sam carried Cross briskly out the front door of the Manor and down the front drive toward the ambulance Keisko had parked there. In some distant corner of his mind, Sam was aware and amused that adrenaline and concern were the only things keeping him from dropping his clanmate. She wasn't heavy by any means, but physical activity was often beyond the inventor.
The ambulance seemed miles away as the doors closed behind Sam, but he kept moving forward until he reached the open back doors of the emergency vehicle.
"Some assistance would be most appreciated," he said with a wry twist of the mouth. "That knife in her has me worried half to death, and the other half's being occupied with worry that my arms will shake out of their sockets and I'll drop her." Sam had never before found himself trying to use humor to lessen the gravity of a situation. It was probably something he'd picked up from Cross, which gave him one more reason to be glad he had reached Keisko in a timely manner.

Frankie had been pacing around the ambulance constantly. He kept glancing over the hill to the manor every few seconds to see if there was anything new, knowing that if he were to barge in it'd only make things worse for the fighting side of the group.
Still, the moment he saw Sam walk out with Leanna, he didn't hesitate to dart over to the two and get a look at her. "Give her to me." he nearly snapped as he got a good hold of her, being careful not to touch the knife and end up making the injury worse.

Sam nearly had to bite his tongue to keep from replying to Frankie's demand with a dose of terse authority.
"We need to set her down," Sam managed evenly. "Preferable inside the ambulance, where Keisko can attend to Cross's wound." Frankie's state of panic bothered Sam just a little, but he understood that the purple-haired boy and Cross shared a connection that outranked the one between her Sam in longevity. Frankie had known her longer, and he seemed to be the more emotional type, so it was normal that he would be a bit less than level-headed. Sam realized, after a moment, that if Cross had befriended both Frankie and him, that perhaps there was no reason the two males couldn't get along and perhaps likewise become friends. "She'll be all right," Sam added decisively. "She'd never let Hana get the better of her, even with Hana dead."

While the boys argued Keisko had already grabbed the second pop out bed from the ambulance and had it set up. "Lay her down here." She snapped as she climbed out of the ambulance with the supplies she'd need. She laid them out on the table she'd set out earlier.

Frankie looked over at Sam briefly, nodding a little since he couldn't come up with a decent response with how worried he currently was. He turned back to Keisko and gently laid Leanna down for the Ookami to work on her. He knew Lele wasn't going to die, but he still had a right to be concerned and all, especially since he didn't know how the others were doing right then. He hoped they were alright.

Keisko quickly went in to work on stopping the bleeding. She kept the knife in, thankful the girl had the sense not to pull it out. She worked on wrapping the wound as best as the knife allowed. She had it wrapped with a large amount of gauze. "Frankie gimme that." she said grabbing his hand and pressing it to the wound. "Keep pressure on both sides of the knife." she said. She was glad she'd had the two of them put gloves on earlier.
While Frankie had the bandage covered she tore off her gloves and put on a new pair. She went and checked the girl's breathing and sighed with relief when she found a pulse. "Keep your hands on there, I'm going to move the bed over a bit so I can get the other out for Hotaru." She turned and started pulling the other cart out of the truck.

Minori had his head hung down the entire walk back up to the ambulance. He was still aware of where he was going enough to keep him from hitting anything, but there just wasn't anything worth looking at right now. The redhead was becoming more numb to the whole situation as time went on, it just... it didn't seem real to him. 'Suda couldn't be dead, he was too brave and too smart for that to happen. Yet there the blond corpse was, completely lifeless on Aiden's back at the bigger Ookami carried him.
The sculptor shot his head back up as he saw the ambulance not too far ahead. Keisko was up there... what was he going to tell her? She'd be devastated no matter how it was said, that much was certain. And 'Taru, depending on just how messed up Hotaru's mind was, there was no telling how she'd react to the news. Just that alone was what scared him the most.

Mikka had left the manor at a more casual pace. She was more or less uninjured and she wasn't carrying anything terribly important, so there really wasn't a large need to rush. Besides, she wanted to make sure that there weren't any "loose ends" wandering about. As to what that meant specifically, the Russian had no idea. But it was still better to be safe than sorry. However, she didn't find anything notable on her way out and she wasn't all that willing to expel extra energy to go on what could be a wild goose chase.
A gust of air swept Mikka's hair away from her shoulders and across her face. A few bits, heavy and clumped together with blood, remained steadily locked in place. The Russian pushed the hair out of her face, taking a deep breath as she walked. The fresh air banished the coppery scent of blood from her nose (not that she minded the smell, but the change was still refreshing). Her blouse was stained red, although none of the blood was hers. Her condition appeared to be much worse than it really was.
Mikka quickened her pace when she saw the others gathered on the hill. She wasn't too sure if she would stick around or not; certainly long enough to make sure the others were fine but not long enough for the police or someone similar to get involved. By that point she would be long gone.
"Dobryi den', everyone." The Ookami smiled as she came to the top of the hill, where all the others seemed to have gathered. It probably wasn't the best time to sound so cheerful, but Mikka was never good at "sensing the mood."

Aiden shambled on up to the ambulance carefully, not wanting to drop the weight upon his back. He was soaked with blood and honestly wasn't certain how much of it was his own and how much was Puff or Matsuda's...
Not that he was thinking about the blood, he was thinking about the now-dead blond upon his back. Keisko... was going to react badly, and she was their medic... that was going to be a huge problem, but he couldn't have just left the stiffening body in the room with Puff. No matter how tired and in pain he felt, that just wasn't something he could tolerate...
That albino lunatic hadn't deserved to BREATHE the same AIR as Matsuda, let alone... let alone KILL him...
Aiden wasn't sure how he knew to stop, but he stopped in the middle of the group by the ambulance and just stood as still as a statue. He had to tell Keisko, there was no way around that...

Keisko pulled the bed out and dropped it on the ground in an open spot, fixing the railing as she worked. She turned around to see who had come up and stopped in her tracks. "Mini... Aiden..." she noticed their faces first off and her stomach dropped. She didn't even process the fact that Aiden had Matsuda on his back. "Where's Matsuda?" she breathed, her heart racing, tears coming up.

Minori's heart sank when he saw Keisko look at them. Oh god... what was he going to say? All this time walking there and he couldn't figured out what to say!?
"I'm so sorry Keis'..." he choked out, not knowing what else to say. He could feel tears start to collect in his eyes again. "I'm really really sorry..." The numbness that had taken over for a few minutes was gone now as he started to sob again, he just couldn't hold it in.

Keisko's heart seemed to stop as she backed up, falling onto the ambulance's bumper. She sank down on it as the sobs started to come up. "No." she breathed shaking her head. "No, no, no!" She covered her face with her gloved hands, repeated No and sobbing. She'd never get the chance to tell him she loved him. She'd never wake up after a night of talking with him. No more...
She stopped for a moment, tears silently running down her cheeks, and looked at Aiden. "Where is he?" she choked out as her lip trembled. Matsuda couldn't be dead! He couldn't! He was too strong to die!

Aiden's heart broke a bit inside as he watched Keisko sob. He wouldn't know what he'd do if Eva wound up dead from all this... and with that came the sudden surge of fear as he realized something. Eva wasn't there.
He was snapped out of his quick burst of panic by none other than Keisko, who demanded to know where Matsuda was... Aiden couldn't think of anything to tell her and just stooped down to let the corpse slide off his back a bit. As quick as he could he twisted and grabbed the body to bring it to where everyone could see...
He was just glad that all of Matsu's organs had stayed put in his abdomen where they wouldn't fall out from the hole slicing up his torso. Just looking at how pale Matsu was made Aiden remember that he was probably covered in more than a little of the blond's blood and he was accosted by the sudden desire to burn his sweatshirt.

Keisko gasped and covered her mouth to hold back the sobs that came up from seeing Matsuda. She turned and grabbed a sheet out of the truck, popping it open and laying it on the ground. She couldn't take up the other bed because Hotaru would have to go there. "Set- set him down." she whispered, gesturing to the sheet. She wanted nothing more than to sit and cry over Matsuda's body.
