Kage watched Jack rush over to the roof's edge, where Aiden had just been kicked off by some tall albino woman. She didn't seem at all interested in the goings-on around her, and in fact jumped off of the roof as soon as an Ookami girl approached her. Though she had been the one to send the eldest King sibling to his probable doom, it seemed that she was more concerned about him than even Jack might be. Tekka was next to approach the scene, and the giant took his beloved's hand and looked down at her. "He's... he's most likely gone," explained Kage, his voice showing hesitation. If Tekka reacted the way Jack had, then the enormous Tora would have to be quite quick on the uptake, so as to keep his girlfriend from doing something dangerous. "Neither Jack nor Hotaru could do it, so... I did... and then the White-Haired Wonder ran in and kicked him off so that she could take the bullet." Tekka might not even believe that part; after all, what was this, an anime? Still, Kage hoped she wouldn't be too upset. --- Jeremiah carried Madoka through the door that led into the school silently, hopefully undetected by anyone. Tekka said she'd come to the hospital to get the little Ookami, and it wasn't that he didn't trust her, but Jeremiah felt like he should do his best to look after this troubled girl. After what the Duel Spirit had said, it sounded like she really needed someone she could count on, and the boyish Ookami found himself wanting to be one of those people.

Hotaru was frozen in shock as she heard the bullet fire and the woman she had seen at the Wok with Aiden run in and knock him over the side of the school. It happened all too fast for the ex gang leader to process everything correctly. The thought of whether Aiden was dead or not hardly had enough time to make it into her mind before Jack had made his way over there. That was about as long as her legs could keep her up before collapsing beneath her. She was covered in blood, some her own, some Aiden's, but a good portion of it came from the scars on her back and around her stomach. "I... tried..." she muttered, looking at Jack before passing out. What the phrase meant, she wasn't so sure of, but it was out there, and she'd stick to it. ~~~ Eva growled at Xion. "Why do I care if he trusted me? He was the one trying to kill my best friend, dammit!" she huffed out before turned around in time to catch what was going on. Her eyes widened as she saw Hotaru pass out. "Boss!!" she yelled, beginning to make her way over there.

Jack turned to Kage and Eva, Hotaru held tight in his arms. He barely remembered catching her, and now that it was all said and done he felt weak and sick to himself and things were beginning to blur. "Tekka, 911." It was more of a command than anything else, but his hands were full as it was and he wasn't about to let Hotaru go. "Eva, Kage, make sure he doesn't die before I get down there." Somehow his voice managed to stay calm. He wasn't sure how or why but it was.
At first, Tekka had tried to keep moving, tried to get over there to see what everyone else had seen. Then as Kage spoke she started crying. She didn't know why, but she did. She understood why Kage did it, she knew that was what she'd have done if it was the other way around. She simply gravitated towards him and hugged him tight for a bit. The blond was a thief, she wasn't used to death.
At Jack's orders (almost out of place at this point) brought her back to her senses and she brought out her phone, dialing the emergency number and giving them the location. She wiped her eyes, shaking like a free cord in an earthquake.

Kage registered Jack's order, but for a second couldn't do anything but hold Tekka. She had called 911 already, thereby allowing the giant to pick her up and carry her back inside the building. Once inside, the older Tora removed his jacket and wrapped it around his girlfriend. Yeah, it was a little wet, but Kage had been relatively out of the fray when the blood started flying, so at least there wasn't any of that mess for Tekka to worry about. With a jolt of stinging pain, the giant was, however, reminded of the fact that one side of his face had all but caved in at the merciless force of Aiden's fist, and the giant hoped the little blonde wouldn't see him so mutilated. --- Locke was quite thankful that she had been ceaselessly training for more than a decade now. It made carrying Aiden's mangled body quite a bit easier, so much so that the albino even managed to avoid the arriving ambulance. Gliding was unfortunately not an option at this point, but at least they'd be at the hospital before the group could even get all of their injured members into the emergency vehicles.

Xion blinked.No no no ... this wasn't real this couldn't be happening.She raced down the stairs,grabbing the scythe on the way and made it to where he had fallen of the roof.The girl in the trench was already there as she ran over her face paled.
"This isn't real." she muttered grabbing hold of his hand allowing the tears to run down her face "You can't die on me Aiden because I lied ... I love you.I can't lose you" she cried "I'm coming with you" she told the girl following her.

Eva looked down at Hotaru, unconscious and in Jack's arms. She sighed and walked over to the side of the building to see Aiden being carried off by another woman and Xion.
"I think your brother's in good hands." she told Jack in an assuring voice. Of course she had no clue about the white haired woman, but if Xion was down there, then she knew he'd be taken to the hospital sure enough. "For now, let's worry about Boss." she looked down at Hotaru again, frowning slightly. "We'll meet the others at the hospital." There was also that brother of Hotaru's they'd probably need to contact... what was his name? Whatever, she was sure he'd get called up there to check on his sister at some point.

Jack nodded, "Right. The ambulance should be here soon." He could already hear the science. He'd have to talk to the albino soon, he wasn't sure why, but he needed to. He began carrying Hotaru out of the building and gestured for Eva to follow, she would anyway with her loyalty to Hotaru after all.
Tekka had taken notice of Kage's wounds but had said nothing. They were heading to the hospital anyway, and if they weren't she'd correct that. She couldn't just leave Madoka after all. The little thief snuggled closer.
((OOc: and now to the hospital))
