[compile | Shigure's house] Ayame, Hatori, Shigure, Akito

[afterglowsecret]

Hatori, while writing out a prescription for one of his oldest patients (Kawamura-san), heard his phone ring from under a huge pile of unorganized papers. Non-Sohma patient files, Sohma patient files, notes about random illnesses which he had not yet seen, but was curious about, all lay ontop of the noisy device

Comments

[Hatori] Idiots..

[afterglowsecret]

"...I could do without the toenail painting," he responded back to Ayame, flitting through his files once again. Smoothly switching the phone connection from the cord to the handheld, Hatori thought for a second, opening a new box of cigarettse to find a fresh, new one. He pulled out the dose of nicotine, putting it in between his lips to hold it, and decided to sneak outside for a bit

[Akito] *Moans for Kureno*

[baegopa]

It had been an hour since he had last risen from bed, the birds had ceased their chirping and Akito readied himself for the appearance of Keiko. She was one of the servants that had taken care of him from young. She was loyal, strict and she always served his lunch around this time. Barely shrugging on his haori, the door slid open and Keiko entered, politely greeting him, hands occupied with the tray of food

[Hatori] You rang?

[afterglowsecret]

As Hatori gently closed a medical dictionary shut, a gentle rapping sound could be heard. Shifting his gaze from the dictionary to the source of the sound, he moved from his position at his desk to the front door, wondering who knocked.

Hatori looked through the tiny peephole and nodded to himself. It must be time for Akito's checkup.. he whispered to himself, opening the door. A young servant girl nervously twirled her fingers in her long dark locks as the doctor nudged a door stopper between the ground and the door, obviously not keen on having to go for Akito.

With a good reason on why the girl appeared, the dragon braced himself against the wall directly outside of his house and waited for her to speak.

She bit her lower lip and mentally fumbled for the words to speak, suddenly bashful in front of the handsome doctor. Ooh.. he really is very attractive.. Stuttering, the poor girl opened her mouth and spoke

[Akito] I say let's go vacationing!

[baegopa]

The clan head was playing with his food by the time Hatori arrived, he watched the doctor remove his jacket, asking if it was his time for his appointment. Was everything about Hatori centered around his appointments and pills? He was in a good mood, wondering the effect his words would have on Hatori. "Can't I call you when I'm not ill? Sit down."

Tinkering with the chopsticks, Akito grinned as he tried picturing the distress on the doctor's face. Camping would be dirty, hot and disgusting. But he was sick of being cooped up in his room all day, facing the bare walls and all alone without anyone to toy with and upset.

"I want to go camping Hatori. I want Ayame, Kureno and you to go camping with me." Akito smiled, hiding a portion of his face beneath his arms, his eyes only visible and awaited the doctor's reaction.

[Hatori] Jigga what?

[afterglowsecret]

Watching Akito hide behind his arm in a coy fashion, Hatori blankly stared back at him and almost sighed at the suggestion. Camping? What was his cousin thinking? Or rather, plotting..? He obeyed Akito's order however and kneeled down in a furry mat.

Glancing up at the black haired one, the doctor eyed his cousin's appearance and frowned. Even if his idea was strange, Akito did look like he needed some fresh air.. Hatori cocked his head to the side and started to agree with Akito, but suddenly a mental image of Ayame trying to persuade him to sing campfire songs popped into his head. An entire weeked with Ayame, Akito and Kureno- was he up to this? Hesitatingly, the dragon finally responded, knowing he would regret it later.

"Camping? Well, you do look like you need some fresh air.. not for too terribly long, I'm afraid what the sun might do to you," he said, running his fingers down his dress pants in a vein attempt at dewrinkling them.

[Akito] Jigga balls?

[baegopa]

Stun would be an understatement of how he felt right now. Akito was shocked and a little irritated at the doctor's easy compliance to his wishes. That's it? You need some fresh air? He had expected a firm 'no', nagging, but definitely not such weak resistance to his request. What a party pooper, now he couldn't have fun tormenting the doctor.

Hatori hesitated to reply, his reluctance apparent to Akito. He wondered if it stemmed from his choice of company or the responsiblity of ensuring he stayed alive and healthy through the trip. "I'm afraid what the sun might do to you..." The clan head frowned at the mention of the bright source of light, how could he have forgotten that camping left him out in the open.

"Find a solution for the sun, I don't care how." The clan head replied, straightening himself. "Where's Kureno?"

[Hatori] Kureno is your bitch- how am I supposed to know?

[afterglowsecret]

Anticipating the end of his visit with Akito, Hatori stood up from his kneeling submissive stance and picked up his jacket again, slipping it on. His eyes lingered on Akito briefly before he mentally shook his head at his younger cousin's retort, finally coming to rest on a nearby window.

But, the dragon fully expected a bitter response to his simple compliance with his plan and had way too much experience dealing with the other's rapid mood swings. Brushing his fingers across his jacket to pick up a stray ball of lint, the doctor pondered for a moment about his cousin's question: "Where's Kureno?" Hatori's two year younger cousin, a meek and kind member of the cursed portion of the family, normally never strayed even ten feet away from the clan leader and dared not to disobey any order of Akito.

That's odd.. he's usually attached at the hip with Akito, he thought to himself as he streched his left arm out. From sitting for hours at a time at his desk, the dragon's entire body felt slightly sore from staying in the same position
