A Forgotten Story =?
(Inspired by some Lyrics of the Song Coffin of Sweet Dreams and Valentine mood)
"The girl ran after the rabbit, fell in a hole, and died. The end." Keita announces, closing the Wonderland book and tossing it as far as he can. Daichi stared at him incredulously with Airi ready to summon out ice magic to hurt the albino bad, probably just to make a bruise but you get the idea. Meanwhile, Makoto jumped up and caught the book. Handing it to a certain brunette, Io decides to open and flip the pages rapidly, a frown reaching her lips. Hinako perched down, looking down at what Io was looking and formed a wide smile. Io muttered the last sentences in the book. "Alone on the bed, Alice woke up from her dream crying…"
"That's another way of ending Alice in Wonderland huh?" Hinako commented, watching how Io slowly close the book with a pale expression. Before the dancer could check the book in further detail, Makoto directed a short shock by holding the book with Hinako, making the woman let go and the blue-haired woman grab on to it. Turning to see Daichi trying to calm down the two bickering children, Makoto sighs and tells Io and Hinako to help Daichi while she tries to return the book to where the Tsundere albino must have taken it from. In another part of the area, Otome is trying to persuade Hibiki to allow her to find the last member.
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Hibiki asked. Otome nodded, having someone in mind maybe? Hibiki takes a deep breath before releasing it. "Fine. Just take care."
"I will." Hibiki closed his eyes with her friend's response, knowing that the woman had walk away from his chamber. Hearing the sound of her footsteps echo through the darkness, Hibiki opens his eyes to receive from thin air a book with a 'Please return this' note. Looking at the cover, he frowned. In the front of the book cover, there was a tree where two females sat. The female blonde looked somewhat dozy as she leans on the shoulder of a brown-haired woman reading a book. The child was so sleepy; she didn't seem to notice the brunette's head resting on the tree. The brunette, probably a family member of the blonde, has her eyes closed with a centipede's tail sticking out from her mouth. Something black and viscous was also slowly dripping from her mouth, seemingly going to land on the blonde's hair. Raising an eyebrow, the raven commented the book in a mild tone of curiosity. "Sleep into a sweet death I suppose…?"
DAY 1 - [Shine Sun Sakae - Hospital]
"What are you reading?" She asked with a slight tilt on the head, the man turned around. She blinked and realized that he was the Student Council's PRO, Akie Yuzuru. "Ah. Sorry about that. Just wondering why you've been standing in here for quite a while. I mean, I have to close the library soon."
"Really? Wow. Time passes by so quickly." Akie placed the book down which made the girl frown. Picking it up, she saw a picture of a man wearing a blue soccer outfit running somewhere. Akie just scratched his head, smiling sheepishly. "Ops. Uh… Who doesn't like Shonen Chump?"
"If you really liked reading Sports-oriented manga… Why not buy Shonen Chump at Oosu?" She asked, flipping the pages to see various content. "Oh and have you tried out 'Offside Goalie Masashi'?"
"No-? I mean I've only the summary and the drawing isn't that good." Akie was taken a back for a moment, but regained his relaxed manner. The girl thwacks the man in a playful manner and walks off to place the book back. But before Akie could get out of the area, he heard the girl mention some sort of warning (?)/persuasion.
"Then try it for my sake since you'll learn a thing or two about Japan."
"I never did ask if he did read it…" The woman muttered, looking up at the white ceiling. In a sterilized room, she wore her usual blue patient gown. Connected with an IV bag and lying down the bed, she looked around to see the nearby chair and table. The door was shut and the flower in the vase on the table is starting to wither. Sighing, she tries to reach a book on the table with her free hand. After the brief electricity cut, the lady waited for anyone to notify her the situation at hand. She was admitted to the hospital very recently, around four days ago she thinks. But this wasn't the first time she was admitted here. In her present situation, she could hear several nurses rushing around in loud clamor. 'Did something bad happen? I want to know what's going on.'
*Creeaaaakk~! *
Sitting up, the woman looks at the exit floor to see feminine legs wearing white tights and slippers. Having a pink nurse uniform and lab coat on top, the young woman with dull blond hair who entered is believed to be a new doctor. Carrying a white bag containing unknown food supplies, the doctor placed her bag on the table and sat down on the chair. Looking at her with a smile, the faculty member began her introduction and answer the patient's question.
"I will be your doctor for the week. My name is Otome Yanagiya, but you can call me Otome. Due to some technical dilemma, the staff is being reshuffled to accommodate new patients. I hope we can get along." The doctor greeted. The brunette felt even more puzzled, wondering why there would be an influx of patients entering this hospital. As if reading her mind, the doctor continues. "The patients' injuries have unknown origins still being identified by our research team. Scratches, bruises and tears from various locations of the body… The patients may also have psychological problems as they speak in incoherent sentences and unrealistic myths."
"I… I see." The woman answered. Suddenly worried whether her friends and family are alright. Lying down, the brunette closed her eyes. The doctor continues to stare at her with curiosity, not that the patient cared. In deep thought, the girl succumbed to darkness. Thinking of things not within her reach, 'As I think of you, will you return the favor and think of me?'
