Mitsuko looked at Jean who had come to her side once the medics came. She heard Zero's voice but his voice was very angry, not that she blamed him. She heard everything that was going on, and while she could get the feeling that Zero was wrapped up in his violent mode right now, she understood why. She took Jean's hand once he came, and looked out into the distance in the direction that Myra left in. She smiled to herself that the child was safe, and that she had done her duty.
"Jean.... Please don't be mad but I did have to protect someone as well as the civilians... I rather myself get hurt, since after all I know what becoming a bounty hunter meant. It means putting your own life on the line just so another can be saved."
Mitsuko didn't let out an oww though she just took the sharp pain as it came,
"Don't worry Jean I'll be fine... It's going to be okay there is no reason to look so scared or panic, but please do me a favor...... Tell Zero that I-"
She wanted to tell Jean that she wanted Zero to know that she loved him. If there was a time to tell someone you loved them now's the time, but before she could finish Jean cut her off by placing a hand on her forehead and moving some of her bangs back. The medics loaded her on the stretcher. The rain was really coming down for a good few moments and then it started to lighten up just a bit.

"Are you crazy? Anyone father would freak out over this Mitsuko. And you really must save your strength... you can fight this, your not going to die here. Not today. Do you understand me? Zero, Hunter, and myself can't lose you. It would be a crushing defeat to us all. I'll handle Zero so don't worry yourself. Just focus on resting and getting better."
Jean kissed Mitsuko's forehead before he went off to go talk to Hunter before he made an announcement to all the bounty hunter, about what the next step was. Mitsuko was put in the ambulance and the sirens were heard as it went off towards the hospital. Jean saw Zero uncious but because of his rage that the chief heard as well he was thankful that Hunter knocked him out. With Kouji in cuffs and restrained Jean went over and gave the ex father words of his own.
"Give us one good reason why we shouldn't rip you apart? We can dismember you, make you suffer just like how you made Mitsuko suffer for years! And now to top that off you hurt the child you made and gave her life? A parent is supposed to protect their young, show them right from wrong, and love them. No. But you decide to put her in danger and to emotionally abuse that poor girl all her life. No one really protected her until presently. As soon as she entered Zero's life all over again, from that day forward she was automatically put under his protection."
"She's always took care of others, now its our turn to take care of her. You are not a man Kouji but a dog with its tail between its legs. But since you are still human and when you enter the courts, we'll make sure that you get the maximum punishment possible! If this was the 1600's you;d be hanged."
With that said Jean motioned the bounty hunters to take Kouji away, and now he talked to Hunter.
"Alright Miki has been rushed to the emergency room for emergency surgery, she's gotten seriously injured. Her organ the appendix is the thing that was damaged and the best course of action... is for her to get surgery to get that out, and also the fact that the bleeding isn't stopping. As soon as Zero calms down I need you to take him to the hospital, you guys remain with Miki, while the rest of us do an investigation. Miki really needs Zero so use this smelling salts to pull him out of being unconscious. I commend you for how you restrained Zero, but also assure him that he isn't in trouble, he had a reason to be angry."
Jean then patted Hunter's shoulder and went to make his announcement.
"Listen to me everyone, one of our very own is very hurt at the moment so I need all of you to pull your weight until she recovers. Investigation team you will remain with me and see what we can find out, but the first step was to send the sword with Miki's blood for testing at the lab, I have to make sure her blood isn't contaminated with anything dangerous, and if it is, then I will have to fill in the medics to make sure Miki gets her medicine. Also, and this applies to everyone. DO not answer any questions if the press of Veyyard start asking you questions about the incident. Who knows what the hell they will spin it into. For now lets just keep the matter and what we find under wraps is that clear?"

Kouji was defeated. His reign of terror was put to rest where Mitsuko was concerned, though once he's in a jail cell he was sure to try and make trouble for the gaurds but these men were trained by Jean specifically so they wouldn't have any trouble. As much as the bounty hunters wanted Kouji dead Jean was a fair but rational man to spare his life, and whatever the courts decide it was out of their hands.
Kouji didn't speak for once, he just was the dog like Jean called him, and if you compare the two Jean was more of a man than Kouji was and Jean deserved to be the fatherly figure that Mitsuko so deserved. What Kouji didn't know was his name Himura was going to be let go by Mitsuko, she was no longer going to be harbouring such a name, instead she was going under Jean's and enjoy the rest of her life.

As Mitsuko was rushed to the hospital she used her spirit to communicate with Zero who was out cold. She wanted to talk to her best friend just in case she doesn't wake up from her aesthetic right away after the surgery. Her angelic spirit entered Zero's heart and she spoke to him guiding him through his explosive emotions.
'Zero..... Can you hear me? I need you to listen to me my twin soul. I need you to calm yourself, I need you to have clear head. I know that's hard for you two because of what has happened to me, but at least try for me. You are so much more then you can see, you have protected me these last few months and for that I thank you. Thank you so much.
'Please don't blame yourself for me getting injured. It's not your fault. I signed up to be a bounty hunter to give you a hand, but I also knew at the back of my mind what it meant. It means putting your life on the line just so an innocent can be saved.
' Getting injured of course is inevitable, but wounds can heal. I am alive Zero I'm not dead. I'm just in a lot of pain at the moment but I want you to know I will be fine.'
'I have never understood your line of work until actually experiencing for myself, and when I experienced this I realized what you do everyday in protecting people, you're always in the middle of danger. Of course I worry and I always wonder if you;'d come back home in one piece but I do support where your path is taking you. It is your own path, and this is something that makes you so strong. Even if you feel otherwise Zero, I will always see that strength in you. and while it is not by physical power alone, you have a strong heart, it kept beating from the moment of your birth, to all the hardships that you endured.'
'Do you remember what I told you? I told you that even though you were born into a world that made you feel like there was no place for you I told you that things would be different for you. And look things have gotten better.. You have grown into this strong man I know can protect anyone. The world always has a place for everyone, Even though there are loads of stereotypes that put people in different classes. From goth, to cool, to preppy, to girly, to the most popular or the most beautiful, or even rich and poor people still have their own mission in life.'
'You and I don't come from different worlds. We are one in the same in many ways that people realize. We experienced similiar things of our past and while it wasn't the greatest my happiest moment of all.... Was giving you love for the first time outside the family. You came first before all my relationships that soon followed. My childhood best friend. No one will ever replace you, and no one will ever replace me in your heart. It's okay to cry Zero, and whoever said that men shouldn't cry because they are strong is an idiot. Everyone deserves to let out his or her own emotions. You can't be denied on acting on what you truly feel.'
'I heard how you acted today with my ex father, and that is okay with me because you were being honest. You do have a temper, but this shows that you know when an injustice has been done, or if something annoys you. A best friend knows everything about you- your flaws, your strengths, your weaknesses.... and still loves you anyway regardless.
' I still love you anyway regardless of your temper, or even your impoliteness to strangers. We can't get along with everybody, and sometimes we come across people who we don't like but we can't figure out the reason why we don't like them, it just happens. As life does.'
'Never let a person sway your heart or make you feel like you are worthless. Because your not, you are worth so much to me. There is only one of you and one of me. I know your name intentionally means nothing but here is what it means to me personally. Zero means a person with vast potential, and will only continue to grow as each day, month, and year pass. Hey you notice that each of our names end with an O? Mitsuko, Zero.'
'Be strong for me Zero, I need you now... During this time, I may not be able to wake up from sleep for a little while.. But I will be able to hear you. You can tell me anything and everything you wish...'

Hunter was busy fixing his large cowboy hat since it's wilting by the rain, but since its raining so heavily, he didn't have much luck. His hat looks like more of a hood for him now due the the water. He had stashed Zero carelessly on the ground beside him, not really caring to shield the boy from the pouring rain, since he knows Zero won't die by drowning or swallowing up too much rainwater.
That's when Jean approached him, reporting what's going on with Miki. "What?!" was the only thing Hunter was able to outburst, his eyes now darting left and right whilst trying to process that in his mind. Still, he managed to hear out the chief's order for him, so Hunter nodded, "Roger."
When the chief turned around to make the announcement to the rest of the hunters, Hunter trudges his way to Kouji, who's now secured in handcuffs and has his sword off of his reach. He raised his head as he stared at the black-haired criminal, eyes totally calm unlike the previous men that had conversed/attacked him.
"Look, man. I don't know who you are besides the things Miki told me and I don't easily hate people for stupid things they've done, so I don't really hate you. I'm just wondering...what..on earth do you gain from doing this?" He tried to peer into Kouji's soul as he asked this, but Hunter doesn't have the genuine skill to really do this sadly.
"You're a smart man, I know that much. So now I can't believe you let yourself get caught so easily, by just destroying her appendix instead of her life. You aimed for her life, right?" Hunter shook his head, he may just look at this wrongly since he isn't the brightest one in the troop. "Or maybe you're just a hasty sadist, who likes to see his daughter in a bloody mess by attacking so hurriedly, instead of going at the right time for the perfect kill. ...Thanks to your hasty manner, Miki's alive, so I'm thankful of your stupidity. Good day to you, sir."
Hunter spoke in such a calm and even polite manner, it's as if he doesn't harbor the slightest of hate towards the very person that harms the precious angel they all know and love...or maybe Hunter just has excellent control of his anger. He walked away after tipping his soggy hat to Kouji, returning back to Zero, who's still lying motionless on the ground.
"Appendix," he simply muttered to the unconscious form that is Zero, "He attacked her appendix. For a professional killer, he knows that's a disgrace... Appendix, hah, I feel like laughing. Good thing he can't aim at a more crucial organ, huh?" Conversing with a sleeping Zero like this, it's just like old times when they're in a bloody mess under Faun's training, with Zero knocked out and Hunter messed up.
"..Or maybe Miki's doing well with avoiding and countering that her father actually missed unintentionally. Heh," Hunter then crouched down beside Zero, studying the boy's face, noticed that it's calmer than usual and blinked, "...That must be some dream you're in, boy. ..Well! C'mon, let's go to the hospital~"
Hunter picked Duo up from the muddy ground and tossed the boy over his right shoulder easily. Since Hunter's so big and tall, a teenager like Zero is no problem for him at all. Then off he went to the hospital, looking for whatever transport before he sets off since he sure as hell not going there with a man weighting down his shoulder.

Right after he was knocked out, Zero's face is still scrunched up with his emotions still rumbling and wild. If anyone could see his spirit, they can see it glowing very red in alarm and quivering with unrestrained explosion.
'He's DEAD! HE'S DEAD!! I'M GONNA KILL HIM! I'LL DEFINITELY KILL HIM! DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE! HE'S GONNA DIE, HE'S GONNA DIE, HE'S GONNA DIE! I'LL KILL HIM, I'LL SHOOT HIM SO BAD!' His mind kept repeating this very loudly in his head, it's hard for him to hear anything else entering his mind.
Still, thankfully, that loud rumble didn't made such a ruckus in his heart. His heart is just as angry, but not so loud. That's probably why he can detect a faint voice coming out of nowhere, his wrath is still shaking in his soul, so he doesn't take that into account since it's so loud in his mind until he heard a very faint but familiar thank you.
That's when he began to quiet down just a little. It's hard for him to connect and listen properly because he's still immeasurably angry, but a part of him wanted to listen more, so after a long while, he finally quiets down, assuring himself that he'll get Kouji soon anyway.
'...Miki?' Slowly, her voice began to sound clearer and clearer, and this is probably the perfect time for him to remember that he's not alone 'Miki! Where are you?' He can only hear her voice for now, since he's still angry of what happened.
Zero listened to what she has to say though, like what he does every time, and her words and voice actually managed to distract him off of his madness, though his anger still resides. He didn't know if she could hear him, so he didn't say anything.
Hunter did once told him about telepathy once, it's a one-way connection, so he thought this is what Miki's doing. Still, even if she doesn't hear him, he responded anyway. 'This is EXACTLY why I don't approve of you to work here with me, Miki, seriously! I still don't like you working with us, but I AM grateful that you're a part of our dysfunctional family anyhow.'
It touched him when she complimented him that he's strong. All his life, he has been so pathetically weak, to the point that no one places any hope on him. One soul did though, and that's Miki. She's the first one who believes in him, and with her hope alone, he managed to become the man he is now.
And now, the roles are reversed. Miki's the bleeding-to-death one now.
'Miki, I'm supposed to protect you! Please!! Where are you?!' Slowly, his anger diminished and malformed into worry and panic. He can hear her voice somewhere, but she's not within physical reach. That was supposed to be his mission, like she said, and it pains him that he can't even do that.
Zero feels like he fails in life now, but then again, Miki always know what to say. Right on cue, the angel told him that he's the first. He came first. The bounty hunter even stopped to wonder if he even deserves listening that after what happened.
'...You're trying to calm me down, aren't you?' He questions, what she said somehow rebounded in a self-guilt trip to him. Though, its the fact that she needs him, that truly calms him down. He feels worthless yet he's still needed, just like old times. 'Okay..'
And that's when his face gains that serene feel to it, the moment when Hunter saw it.

'We may not always agree Zero but we still care for the other no matter what happens. Just because I got hurt doesn't mean I regret joining you and Hunter. This was my own decision, and when you love someone so much, as much as I love you dearly I'll do anything to help. Zero you have protected me, even though you feel like you failed.. You didn't. This happened for a reason. The true failure is when you stop trying.'
'I am at the hospital and to what I hear going on around me, they want to prepare me for emergency surgery, and I am scared. But I know you and Hunter and chief will be on your way so when I wake up, when I wake up I get to see your face. So don't worry, I'm not in a coma or anything, my heart is still beating, I am just asleep. I'll take you to a special place as soon as I feel you near. There is something I wish to show you, and this place lies in my heart. I haven't told anyone about this, but I will tell you, as you are my best friend and I am sure it will fascinate you.'
The place in which Mitsuko was referring to, is a place in her dreams, once Zero falls asleep on his own, without being knocked out, because of his connection with Mitsuko, they'll be able to meet in her dreams where they can talk about anything and everything.
'I'll see you in my dreams alright Zero? and please try and smile a little when I open my eyes okay?'
