Summary: When a group of mentally unstable people are the sanest people in a room, there is something wrong....
Chapter 12
Erika was sitting outside. She seemed peaceful and Shige hated to intrude. They had talked in the last few weeks. It had been 3 weeks since the Ueda episode and everything seemed calm. At least, there had been no gruesome deaths. The point was that they had started talking and Shige wanted to believe that she was starting to feel more comfortable around him.
“Hi,” he finally said. She looked at him a little startled.
“H-hi,”
“Um, Tegoshi sent me to get you. He said that you shouldn’t be alone.”
“I’m n-not alone, there are other people and I’m just waiting for Maki and Yamashita to c-come b-back. I always do this, w-why would… Urgh, I’ll k-kill him.”
“What?” Shige asked a little amused.
“I’m sorry. You c-can go b-back to them. I always sp-pend a little time outside while Maki and Yamashita have a l-little alone t-time. Yuya knows this but… Sorry he bothered you.”
Shige shook his head. “He didn’t. I can stay. Although, if you want to be alone, I can go.”
Erika bit on her lip and then licked it. Staring, he was staring again.
“It’s ok-kay,” she finally said and Shige sat next to her.
“He’s t-trying to fix us up. Tegoshi, I mean.” She said.
Shige laughed. “I know.”
“He t-tried to d-do that with Yamashita and then K-koyama. I c-could k-k-kill him. It’s emb-barrassing, really.”
“Why? I mean I would understand annoying, he is definitely that.”
“It’s j-just embarrassing,” she repeated looking away. “B-but you d-don’t have to worry, I d-don’t t-take it seriously.”
Well Shige didn’t know how to feel about that. She didn’t take Tegoshi seriously or she didn’t take him seriously? And he honestly wanted to slap Tegoshi in the head for keep trying to fix her up with just about anybody.
“Maki and Yamashita s-should b-be here any minute. You d-don’t have to st-tay.”
“Oi, why do keep trying to get rid of me? I mean, if it’s because you don’t like me just tell me and I’ll understand. If it’s because you don’t know me that well, running away from me it’s not going to make that any better. And if it’s still because of that time that I saw your scar, I’ve already apologized and I’m not so shallow that that would bother me. Yes, I was shocked at first, it looked painful that’s all. Now I moved on and so should you!”
She just stared at him. Way to go, Shige, rant at her and scare her more, that’ll make things better.
“Tegoshi is right, you are like a g-grumpy old man.” She finally said laughing. “I j-just don’t want you to feel obligated. Yuya can be p-pushy.”
“Yeah, but I’m not a push over. If I didn’t want to be here, I wouldn’t be.”
She smiled a little and then they just started talking.
“Well, d-don’t get mad, this is j-just an observation. Maki and Yamashita should have been here already. If I know Yuya, and I d-do, he p-probably intercepted them and st-topped them from coming.”
“Do you want to go inside? It’s getting late isn’t it?”
“Yeah, we should.” Everybody had gone inside and it was starting to get dark.
They left the garden and realized it was close to dinner time.
"So, do you still feel like killing Tegoshi?" Shige asked.
She chuckled "A little. Mostly b-because we will have to suffer everybody st-taring at us through supper b-because everybody knows what he's up to."
"Mmh." Shige wasn’t looking forward to that.
"Hey, do you w-want to sneak out?" She suddenly asked. "If you want we can g-get some food and eat somewhere else."
"We can do that?"
"Sure," she said grabbing his hand and pulling him behind her.
They ended up in the front desk. Shige hadn’t seen it before. It was nice, actually, and there weren’t many people there. There was a female nurse behind the desk and she was talking to a male nurse. It was Ryo and he was obviously flirting with the woman.
Ryo turned a little to the side and Erika waved at him and hid back again. After about a minute the door opened and Ryo came out.
"What the hell are you two doing here?"
"Hello, N-Nishikido-san." Erika greeted and Ryo just crossed his arms and lifted a single eyebrow. "We n-need a favor." Erika continued.
"Of course you do."
"D-do you think you could g-get us some food? We... we don’t want to eat with everybody t-today."
"Well that’s not really optional, is it?"
"Well, n-no. But we are trying to avoid T-tegoshi today. I'm sure you can understand t-that."
"Since when do you want to get away from him, Erika?"
"Since he's been m-meddling with me... m-more than usual."
That seemed to soften him a little.
"And..." Erika continued "I know something about Nurse Aoi, over there."
Ryo was still frowning but Shige could see he was interested.
"Fine. But you have one hour and I want to know where the two of you are going."
"T-two hours and I'll t-tell you where we are going."
"An hour and a half."
"Deal. Okay. She's a D-death Note fan."
"That's all you have?"
"I m-mean a REAL Death Note fan. Like a f-freak. She even cosplays... as L. And her last b-boyfriend left her because of it. I think you c-can work with that, can't you?"
Now Ryo was smiling with gleaming eyes. "I sure can."
†††††
Shige was following Erika up some emergency stairs, they were carrying some food Ryo had given them.
"Where are we going?" Shige asked.
"The roof t-top. The view is incredible and it's really q-quiet."
She was right, the view was incredible. The building was surrounded by a forest and beyond it he could see the city lights.
"I don’t mean to be a spoilsport or anything, but is this safe?" Yes, things had been quiet since Ueda but still.
"Yes, Sophie will l-let me know if something is wrong."
"Sophie?"
"My friend," she answered while she sat on the floor and took the food out. "My d-dead friend." She finally added looking down.
Shige’s jaw almost hit the floor but he recovered quickly. "Would you care to expand on that concept?"
"She's been with me for a very long time. I started hearing her before me and my dad came to Japan. And she is the only one that has stayed around."
Shige was curious but wasn’t sure he could ask.
"Is she here now?" It wasn’t one of the most important questions he had but it was kind of disturbing.
"No, but she can find me, fast."
“And where is she now?”
“I don’t know, she doesn’t tell me where she goes, she says it’s not for me to know. Actually, there is no one else here… or they are very silent at least.”
After that they started talking. She didn’t tell him anything specific about herself but they did talk about other things.
After finishing off most of the food they’d taken, Shige found himself smiling at her.
“What?” She asked.
“Nothing. It’s just that you haven’t stuttered almost since we got here.”
She shrugged one shoulder. "I only stutter when I'm nervous."
"And you are not nervous anymore?"
"I guess not." She said taking the last onigiri.
"Oi, that's the last one!" Shige said grabbing for it.
"Yes and I'm the girl, I should have it."
"But I'm still hungry!"
"Me too."
They both laughed while fighting for the last piece of food.
Somehow, Shige ended up almost on top of her. Their eyes met and suddenly they stopped laughing.
"Ok-kay, y-you can have it."
"Why are you stuttering again?"
"I'm n-nervous again."
"Why?" he asked and wondered how was it possible that her hair was still covering her face. She looked down.
Shige moved his hand to her hair. She looked up again startled but didn't move away. Slowly he moved the hair away and really looked at her face for the first time.
He already knew she had big round brown eyes and that she was pretty. So he looked at the scar. He had seen it before, though briefly. It wasn’t the only scar; she had others, much smaller, marring her pale skin. He traced the scar with his thumb, skipping the eyelid.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?
"No, it healed years ago."
“Did it get to the eye? I mean does it affect your vision?”
“No. I can see.”
It was pinkish and it was wide at the bottom where it ended about a centimeter from her mouth. That brought his attention to her mouth. She licked her lips and bit the bottom one and that did it. He bent forward and kissed her.
It was just his lips on hers. He leaned back and looked at her. She just looked a little shocked but she didn't slap him or yell at him.
He put his hands on the side of her face and caressed her cheeks with his thumbs. Her skin was really soft as he paid attention to how the texture changed on her scarred cheek. She leaned a little closer and on another impulse he kissed above her eyebrow, where the scar started, and then her cheek and finally her eyelid. She took in air through her mouth and he took advantage to kiss her again, this time properly.
This time she kissed him back and put her arms around his neck.
He moved his hand to her lower back and he brought her closer to him. Their breath started to come faster. He left her lips and trailed kisses down her throat, where he noticed there was another scar. He kissed it before going back to her lips.
"I guess this is why you lost track of time." Ryo's voice came from behind them.
They jumped apart and Erika arranged her hair so it was covering the side of her face before she turned around.
"Sorry," Shige said. "We were just going back."
"Yeah, I bet you were. Come on before you get me into trouble. And don't even try to get more time out of me or I'll tell Tegoshi what I just saw and you'll never hear the end of it."
It turned out that he didn't need to tell Tegoshi since he, Maki, and Yamashita were waiting for them with expecting smiles.
"So, what were you doing?" asked Tegoshi in a singsong and wiggling his eyebrows.
"N-nothing, Yuya, we j-just ate."
"Right, that's why you are stuttering with me for the first time in years," Tegoshi said and then turned to Yamashita, "I love it when I'm right."
Shige wanted to smile but wouldn't give Tegoshi the satisfaction.
They went back to the wards together. Shige and Erika walked a little behind the rest and, to give them credit, they didn't say anything o sneaked glances.
They were getting closer to the place where the girls would have to take another way. Shige grabbed Erika's wrist and gesturing for her to be silent took her to one of the halls, he kissed her again, fast but deep.
"Good night," he said.
"Good night."
Then they went back.
Shige was walking with Tegoshi and Yamashita now. Tegoshi kept looking at him.
"I'm not telling you anything." Shige said.
"Aww, it's cute that you think that, but we all know you will," Tegoshi answered.
Shige just rolled his eyes and kept walking to their room.
†††††
The shadow shook. It expanded and contracted and then it started to move. It crawled through the lighted halls and went in a vent. It slid through the labyrinth with determination, with purpose. It found the room it was looking for and dripped soundlessly in through the vent. Then it floated, it hovered above each of the 3 figures there. It knew who they were and it only wanted one.
It recognized him. Part of it was screaming inside, but that part was weak. The screaming part was saying a word, a name: Yamashita.
The shadow now knew the name of the form and it changed nothing. It reached out and started pounding, hacking, breaking, tearing flesh and bone apart with bear hands. As the blood and meat and bone touched it, it was taking form.
There was nothing left. The shadow, which had form now, turned to a mirror to see the reflection of Maki, covered in the blood of her lover and repeating one word: Suzrain.
Maki woke up screaming and crying.
"Maki? What is it? What's wrong?" She heard Erika ask.
She couldn’t answer, couldn’t speak, and could barely breathe. She just reached out to the other woman and hugged her in a bone breaking embrace and just cried.
Another chapter. Sorry if it's not easy to read (the letter is small and the spaces are weird) but LJ is not being my friend right now.
And my new obsession hobby is Photoshop so I made a poster xD
Well, stop by, tell me your thoughts :D
