Crooked Crucifix
The daily influx human activities oozed throughout the room and mixed with the coldness of the air conditioning producing the smell of something more sinister, antiseptic. She couldn't stand it, even after years of visiting and walking through the same halls over and over again, she hated it.
She walked in the same exact hallway again where she would see her talk with her fellow patients and 'discuss' their petty attempts to cure whatever it is that is bothering her, she got used to the screams and the jolly tune of the aged jukebox right in the corner. She always smiled when she would look at her and it breaks her heart. Even after years in the institution, the one looking at her in the near window should be the one comforting her not the other way around convincing her that everything is going to be alright. That's Hana for you always the sweet little girl that mama used to love.
"Detective" a firm voice broke her out of her trance. A tall man in his 40's with a concerned look in his face.
She didn't notice that she was lightly trembling clutching her handbag too tightly and her eyes begging to let the tears fall.
" You don't need to see this" He placed a hand in her shoulders in a soft caring manner hoping that she would listen to his words. She didn't.
She lightly shoved him out of the way and opening the large sliding door that was tinted with green. She was greeted with 10 men and women with surveying the area with their forensic equipment carefully investigating the room with precision and care. She took a step forward and heard something crinkle beneath her foot, glass shards were scattered in the area. Then she noticed the body that was covered in a white sheet lying in the floor unmoving. She closed her eyes for a moment. Countless bodies that she has seen in her line of work but this one in particular shook her to the very core. Years in the force should have steeled her emotions but instead she let a single tear fall.
Hesitantly she walked ignoring the sound of the broken glass until she was right in front of the covered corpse. It was in front of a cross shaped pool and hovering above her was a shattered glass roof that she suspected where the body came crashing down. She kneeled down inching her face forward. With all the courage that she could muster she gently pulled down the white sheet exposing the face of the unknown corpse hoping that her suspicions aren't true.
"No, no no no no" It was more of a whisper than a shout as tears were now practically falling as she sobbed quietly her body trembling and numb.
She caressed her cold cheek wiping the tears that came from her own eyes. She was looking at her mirror, same green but now lifeless eyes, paler skin and their noticeably pink hair.
"Hana" she said breathlessly in loving tone that was only reserved for her. Her sweet, innocent, deranged, damaged little twin sister.
She kept her eyes on hers. Not noticing the forensic team were now nowhere to be seen. Crinkles of glass shards could be heard again indicating that there was a person standing right behind her.
"She fell" her tone was firm and strong confident about her conclusion.
"She jumped" he disagreed
"NO! She fell" her scream echoed in the entire floor.
"Sakura" the man sighed. " I know it's hard to accept. She was sick."
Her eyes fueled with rage as she traced her fingers in her hair. "She wouldn't kill herself"
"Sakura"
"She wouldn't kill herself" She uttered the same words again.
"Detective" He attempted to convince her, his voice slightly raising.
"Period!" She said her voice brimmed with anger.
"Detect-"
"Period!" He wasn't able to finish as her voice cut through him.
"She wouldn't kill herself Hana wouldn't kill herself…. My sister wouldn't kill herself"
The X-ray was over he entered the doctor's office waiting for the results. He took out a cigarette and lighted it then and there. He's pretty sure that she would beat her up, well she always does anyway. The door let out a small creak revealing a beautiful blonde woman with a bust size beyond average. She had an annoyed look on her face as she saw him gleefully lighting the small stick.
"Yeah that's a good idea" She said as she placed the thin transparent plastic on the light, a skeletal chest could be seen the areas where the lungs are are riddled with black spots. She then took a seat just before smacking him right in the head knocking the cigarette off his mouth.
She took a seat in her desk and sighed, her hands massaging her temples. He knew the results were bad. Well it was pretty obvious coughing up blood almost every night seems to give it away. After a minute deafening silence he finally spoke." You can cure me right? You did it once you can do it again right? Granny? "
She folded the paper to her right not needing for him to read the result already. " This is different you can't walk away from this anymore." She bit her lower lip deciding if she should give his .deadline or keep it from him, she decided to be honest." You have 5 months "
He wasn't surprised he took out another cigarette on one his packs and looked at it really hard almost amusing himself." The things I've beaten, things people never even heard of. And now I'm going to be killed by this."
He headed towards the door opening it slightly just before her voice stopped him. " 15 years ago you didn't want to be here and now you don't want to leave" she didn't stood up from her chair and his back was still facing him. " You really need to prepare Naruto, Confess your sins, make arrangements."
He chuckled a little too loud hearing that last statement. " I already know where my soul is going."
She hurriedly walked towards the small hallway heading to only working elevator as she heard it dinged. She was still shaking and her eyes were still red, she saw a blonde man enter and pressed a button. She ran and hollered at the halls hoping she would catch it. "Hold the door please!" The man could easily block the door with his hand or simply press a button but instead she was greeted with a smug grin. " The stairs would be a better option."
Then blue met green.
