What comes after 4? (Retro One Shot)
Taxed, over done, tapped out - Akai Yagami had went beyond his limits and this is the price he must pay for doing so.
The soft halogen glow from the fifthteen watt bulb that lay over head hummed through the night, it kept an watchful on the young boy as he lay in the bed, the Nurse was attending to him, inspecting him - the bandage on his arm was taken off to see if serious injury lay underneathe and there was confusion (?) in her mind as she looked at the marking on his arms, not a scratch on him - just strange symbols she didn't have to translate.
She hooked him up to a machine, monitoring the heart rate - which was accelerated a tad above normal for a kid that is passed out. She took out a flash light to shine into his eyes, checking to see if they would or not dilate, just running the typical check up, then she was gone - letting him dream his thousands dreams. The active heart monitor sang a soft lullyby until. . .
beep . . . . beep . . . . beep . . . beep . . . beep . . beep . . beep . beep.beepbeepbeepbeepbeepbeep.
Eyes opened in a rush, Akai gasped for a breath, looking around the room, this room, the gates memory opened up and flooded the imagination with the past. Doctors, nurses, all caring around their needles, all wanting a sample of blood - a cold sweat beads down his forhead. Drip, drip falls the sweat from the tip of his chin, he didn't want to be back there, not back inside of that lad of Dr.Sakai. The itravenous stuck inside of wrist was ripped out with reckless abandon as legs sprang the young boy from the bed, the state of mind was a blind rage that just wanted out.
The Nurse was on her way back to desk when the she heard the alert, she rushed over in double time to read the screen, the abormal heart activity lit up the charts and naturaly she rushed back down the hall towards the room.
[crack]
The door was nearly smashed splinters, and nurse stopped dead in her tracks, taken by surprise to see Akai laying on the floor, no more movement, not even a stir, except for the constant sign of breathing. The nurse hurried over to check on him, her hand slightly shaking as she turned him over, fingers brush back the dark curtain of his hair to see a peaceful expression - back into dreamland again.
A day later, those same eyes opened up to see that he was strapped down to the bed - under heavy sedation the only thing keeping him from slipping into a coma from the drugs was his accelerated metabolism burning through most of the sedative. There was the sound of voice guiding his blurry vision to move over to him, he tried to move his arms, and legs but the straps protested that action from happening. The voice told him his mother would be here soon. . .But blurry, half lidded eyes opened up to red rage - inferno hot and those straps soon snapped under the power, wild scream ripped from his lungs - the Nurse was startled again, she had been watching over him making sure nothing disturbed his sleep and nothing did - but Akai wasn't quite right and didn't want to be back their, trapped within a sleeping cell of a lab. He wasn't going to break out, even if it cost him life.
Again, Akai leaped from the bed and fist slammed into the newly repaired door and jarred it free from those hinges, but this time he did not fall and simply pass out, those marking on his right arm shined brighter as he darted down the hallway - his bare feet picking more and more speed till
"Akai..." Hearing a voice call to him, a familiar voice, the one of his mother - a comforting tone that she always took with him was all that was needed for him to stop. Ayase stood over at the nurse's desk he had just shot by, she was a woman to behold, a woman who stole the very breath away - the luxurious black hair flowed like ebony waves casted away any doubt that she wasn't his mother, they looked so much alike, her smile and complextion was gifted to him. She is perfection to the eyes, and that is reflected in her son.
When he stopped she moved in closer and wrapped her arms around, so warm, so loving -- Like a real is suppose to. The gesture was returned as Akai drew closer to Ayase, to the warmth, she was the only person that Akai truly trusted with anything, she gave him freedom, she gave him life. After he had calmed down and done more of the same, Ayase cleared things up with him and the nurse Akai assuring him that this place is not like where he came from, that here - he can find solice. And to the nurse, she explained where he came from and why he reacted the way he did.
Ayase looked back over her shoulder and to Akai's naked right arm. "Akai, here. . ." She handed those bandages, she pulled a roll from her purse that keeps around for situations just like this. Taking a seat in a chair, his head resting back against the wall as he started wrap up his arms, starting at the finger tips, each digit wrapped and then ascending higher, over the the forearm, and stopping at the top of the of thebicep. The curtian of dark hair cascaded down over shimmering cold eyes. Ayase would have all damages taken care of but Akai's curiosity got the better of him. He looked up at the nurse from his chair across from the desk and asked...
"Is Amber or Ms. vendetta still here?" He wanted to if they were still here. . .the information was nearly withheld from him, but the Nurse can see the change in him, the innocence of those shimmering blue eyes and she told him the room number. A quick "I'll be right back" and he was off and walking towards the room with a reverberating knock rapping on the door.
