Chapter 1: Meet Dr. Takani (Enter the Fox)
"Dr. Takani, you've got a call on line one."
"Thank you, Kamatari," Megumi said, picking up the phone. "Hello?"
"Meg!"
She let out a sigh before answering. "What is it this time Kaoru?"
"He started dating Tomoe! A day after he talked to me about a commitment! One stupid day!" Kaoru yelled.
"Calm down. You weren't even dating him."
"Might as well have been! I was with him all the time," she muttered.
"Did he ever ask you out?"
"No, but-"
"There you have it. He only saw you as a friend," Megumi told her. "Look, I have to go. And you have to stop calling me at work!"
"Right. Bye."
"See you later, when you're at work," she said before hanging up the phone.
Standing up, she chanced a glance at the clock. Four-thirty. She got off at five. Only another half-hour, she thought to herself. She walked out of her office, grabbing her coffee mug as she went, noticing that she needed a re-fill.
"Hey, Kamatari," she said to her secretary. "I'm going to go get some more coffee. I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?"
Kamatari was on the phone so 'she' just nodded at her. Megumi shrugged and headed towards the cafeteria to get that aforementioned coffee. There were a couple nurses here and there, catching an early dinner, or an extremely late lunch. As she filled her mug with the awful coffee, she wondered how her friend was fairing.
-----------------------
Kaoru stood up on stage, fuming, but getting ready for her gig, none the less. She motioned for Misao to help to warm her voice up for the performance.
"Right up the scale, Misao," she barked.
Misao did as she was told, hitting each chord on the piano, sensing that her friend was in a bad mood. Kaoru flew through the scale and then stopped, staring at the entrance. She grit her teeth and turned around to face Misao again.
"Misao, go get the spare mic for me. Soujiro, could you find Aoshi? He's our bass, and I have no idea where he is," she requested.
"Kaoru? Is that you?" She turned to face the speaker.
"Kenshin. Tomoe. Nice to see you," she lied through her grit teeth.
"I didn't know that you sang, Kao-" He was cut off as Kaoru's cell phone started ringing a popular tune that was currently all over the radio.
"If you'd excuse me, Kenshin, Tomoe."
"Yeah," she answered. "What do you mean? Megumi?"
"I'm sorry. Didn't you want me to come?"
"It's just… He showed up. With his trophy girlfriend to boot," she said, trying to be discreet, knowing that Kenshin was standing right behind her with his girlfriend, Tomoe.
"Don't tell me. Kenshin?" she guessed sarcastically.
"How did you ever know?" Kaoru replied with just as much sarcasm.
"Hey, Kaoru?" Soujiro interrupted. "I found Aoshi!"
"Great! Okay, Meg, I have to go. Give that sexy beast my love."
"Right. Because Kamatari wants female attention."
Kaoru couldn't help but giggle at that. "I know. Tell him we have to do lunch next week and swap pick-up lines."
"Okay, bye." Kaoru flipped her phone shut, still laughing. Back to work, she thought, seeing Misao setting up her drums, Soujiro hooking the spare microphone up, and Aoshi warming up.
"Okay, guys, let's get this started."
"Kaoru, lookie! Aoshi-Sama is here!"
"I know." She shot a glance at her bass. "We'll start in just a little bit."
--------------------
Megumi sat behind the wheel of her black BMW as she waited at a red light. The ER had been completely dead by quarter to five and Kamatari had told her to just leave. If anything drastic happened, Kamatari promised 'she' would call her cell phone or page her, most likely the latter of the two. Knowing this she had taken off towards where Kaoru's gig was going to be held. It was supposed to start at five, but looking at her watch, she knew she was going to be late. She walked into the small bar to see Kaoru working on getting everything organized.
"Oh, Ken-san," Megumi greeted, seeing him and Tomoe at a nearby table. "It's nice to see you."
"You too, Megumi," he replied with a smile.
"Megumi," was all Tomoe had to say along with a nod.
"Did you know Kaoru could sing?" he asked.
"Yes. I was actually the one to told her to get a band together. Heaven knows she knows enough people who can play."
"Ladies and gentlemen! We're about ready to get going. We're gonna start it all off with a little song called, 'Obsession' by Animotion! Maybe you know it," Kaoru said.
"Oh, Kaoru," Megumi sighed her name, smacking her hand to her forehead.
"What?"
"Nothing…"
Soujiro started the song, hitting the male part entrance.
You're an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am a possession
Unopened at your feet
There's no balance
No equality
Be still, I will not
Accept defeat
Kaoru broke in now with the female part, a confident smile playing on her pink lips.
I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way
And I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you
And capture you
And together now……
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me?
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to
To make you sleep with me?
And back to Soujiro……
I feed you and drink you
By day and by night
I need you, I need you
By sun and candlelight
You protest
You want to leave
Stay, there's no alternative
And Kaoru……
You see beauty here
I see beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance
When you make your dreams
Your affection is not what it seems
And all together again……
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
Soujiro……
My fantasy has turned to madness
And all my goodness has turned to badness.
My need to possess you
Has consumed my soul
My life is trembling
I have no control!
Kaoru's turn
I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way
And I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you
And capture you
Now back together
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
You're an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to do
To make you sleep with me
Kaoru and her band took a bow as the audience applauded. She smiled brightly and winked at Megumi who rolled her eyes.
"Thank you! I'm afraid we only have time for one more……"
Megumi stopped listening as her pager went off. She rose from the table and quickly made her way to her car. An emergency, she thought, recognizing the hospital's number. She took the flashing police light she had for such occasions and stuck it on the roof of her car. She put the car in drive and sped off towards the hospital.
"I'm here, I'm here!" she called, running in.
"Oh, Dr. Takani, thank goodness! The patient's in room 302, please hurry. The x-ray's are on there way to the room as we speak," Kamatari informed her.
She nodded as she rushed towards the room, pulling her rubber gloves on as she went. Upon throwing the door open, she saw a man with brown spiky hair sitting on the bed, cradling his left hand to his chest.
