Yuri POV

This time I woke up in a bed but it wasn't my own. The room smelled of disinfectant. "I'm in a hospital...?" I had an ice pack on my head and bandages around my right leg that were stained red but I couldn't feel any pain. Someone came into the room. "Miss Sakura? You are awake"
"Yes..." Thank you for stating the obvious.
"We gave you a strong pain killer, we were going to stitch you up but then realised we can't"
"Why...not...?" You're a doctor in a hospital! You're supposed to help people!
"Their is some kind of magic preventing us from operating on you. When the other doctors and nurses tried they would faint"
"Oh..."
"We are very sorry we couldn't help you"
"It's okay...how long...have I...been here...?"
"Two days. I'll go get your friends" The doctor left and a few minutes later Team Natsu came in minus Erza and Lucy and plus Daisuke. I crossed my arms and turned away when I saw him.
"Yuri I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. You know I love you and I know you love me, please forgive me" He knows...a smile replaced the frown on my face.
"Glad to...hear it..."
"So what happened because Happy won't tell"
"I tried to tell you but some kind of magic stopped me!"
"Say what you like"
"Fine but if Yuri can't tell you then you so owe me jewels"
"Fine by me"
"A black-" I started gasping for air as a burning hot hand closed around my neck. "H-huh...?!"
"See! It's not just me!"
"I bet you she's faking it because she likes you more"
"H-help...!" My vision was shifting in and out of focus.
"Flame brain that ain't pretending!"
"Yuri! Stop trying to tell us what happened!" I listened to Daisuke and the hand's touch left my neck. I took a deep breath. "Are you okay?!" My voice came out shaky.
"Y-yes..."
"I think I know what happened. Before something attacked Yuri and messed with her memory so she didn't remember the attack. When I tried to tell her some kind of hot magic stopped me from doing so"
"A burning...hot hand..."
"That's what I felt too!"
"Whoever's after Yuri doesn't want everyone to know when something happens to her"
"But why do that?"
"How can we know when we don't know a single thing about our enemy?"
"All I know is that whenever something related to our enemy happens her eyes-" He started gasping for air and quickly stopped what he was about to say. "Seems like I can't tell Yuri that detail" I covered my ears and signalled for him to continue. This time he seemed to be able to talk no trouble. He signalled for me to remove my hands from my ears. "Thank you. So we just have to look out for when that happens"
"It happened when that black thing attacked Yuri!"
"So whatever you two saw was related to our enemy"
"It seems whoever this is uses creatures coloured black with a certain colour for eyes"
"So we should look out for that too"
"Exactly right Gray"
"I'm going to have to ask you to leave" They left and the doctor started assessing me. "Well the bump on your head has swelled down so it shouldn't hurt as much as it did before. As for your leg, since we can't help you we're going to have to suggest that you rest the leg so it heals quicker. Here are some crutches to help you walk" The doctor passed me two of them. I swung my feet to the side of the bed and used the crutches to help myself up. "You're discharged, we recommend changing your bandages when you get home"
"Thank you doctor" My crutches clicked against the hospital floor. I made my way to the waiting room. "Hey guys! I'm free to go"
"Are you sure?"
"The doctor discharged me"
"But your bandage is turning a darker red"
"The doctors can't help me there. There's some kind of magic stopping them from doing anything to my leg"
"Then who gave you those bandages?"
"Natsu did I'm guessing"
"You guessed correctly. I did it before I brought you here"
"Thank you Natsu but I need to get home before the blood starts leaking from the bandage"
"Noted"
"Stay away! I want to get home myself, I can't always ask for help"
"That's true but-"
"But nothing!" My wings folded out. "See you later slowpokes! Except Happy!" I flew off and as I thought Happy followed me. Carrying Natsu. "Now that's just cheating!"
"Call it what you want I'm not going anywhere" I flew faster and through my bedroom's window.
"I win!" I flew over to my bathroom and sat on my toilet with the lid down. My wings folded away. Natsu and Happy flew in and Natsu got to work on changing my bandages. "We need to try and stop the bleeding before you change the bandages"
"I am trying, your wounds just won't stop bleeding!" I was getting lightheaded from the loss of blood to the point where I was extremely dizzy and disoriented.
"Natsu..."
"I've tried everything! Just hold on Yuri!" Then a knock on my bathroom door surprised us. "Who are you?"
"I came to help, I saw Yuri flying and she looked injured pretty badly"
"You know her Yuri?"
"Tori...Springs...?"
"That's me, thanks for getting the horn for me" She knelt down next to Natsu and her hands glowed a bright green as she hovered them above my leg. The bleeding slowed down until it came to a stop. "There! No more blood!" She clapped her still glowing hands and all the blood that had sprayed in the bathroom disappeared taking the smell with it. "I hope you'll help me with the other job requests I sent out"
"It's the least...I can do...in repayment. Thank...you..."
"No need to thank me! I was glad to help, toodles!" She left the room and Natsu wrapped the bandages around my wounds.
"Hey can I come on the next job you do?"
"Sure..." I passed out.
