Toronto General
Tsukino Usagi sighed as she went through the medical files of
her current patient. This was *not* an easy week. There had been a
terrorist bombing at the CN Tower, and hundreds of people were injured.
Sure, the building was still intact, but for a doctor, this was hell.
It didn't help that she was the most seeked out surgeon and psychiatrist
either. She had her hands full with operations and appointments to
meet grieving families.
She hadn't seen her own family in months. Or was it years? It
was hard to tell. Time at the hospital just flew by so quickly, she
rarely had any free time. She had moved to Toronto after graduating
Juuban High when she received an offer from the University of Toronto,
surprising both herself and all of her friends. She sighed. If they
could see her now. She was far from the clutzy, immature girl she was
then. She was a successful, beautiful business woman and doctor. She
had changed her name from 'Tsukino Usagi' to 'Serena Thompson' so that
she wouldn't stick out so much in Canada, and it worked. Only her
closest friends knew her real name, but there was only one who felt
comfortable calling her it. She was happy, but god knew she needed a
break.
"Dr. Thompson and Dr. Fenikkusu, to the Chief of Staff office
please, Dr. Thompson, Dr. Fenikkusu." Usagi sighed. What did he want
now?
"Hey Usa!" She looked up warily to see the cheery face of
Fenikkusu Kirei, her best friend since she had moved to Canada. The two
were closer than sisters, and while Kirei was four years younger than
Usagi's 26 years of age, she called Usagi 'Usagi-oneechan' at times.
Kirei had just started out at the hospital after receiving her PhD, but
was quickly moving to the top where Usagi was.
"Hey Ki-chan! Do you have any idea why Dr. Weasley wants to see
us?"
"No clue. Are you okay? You look really worn out."
"Oh, I'm fine. It's just this terrorist bombing thing really had
me on my feet for the past week."
Kirei put a sympathetic arm around her friend's shoulder. "Well,
let's get this over with, shall we?"
Usagi grinned. "We shall."
Kirei knocked on the half opened door. "Dr. Weasely?"
A man with dark brown, yet greying hair looked up and lowered
his glasses. "Serena! Kirei! Come in, I have wonderful news."
Usagi and Kirei eyed each other. Dr. Weasely had never been
this cheery, and especially not to Usagi. Rumors spread around the
hospital that Usagi was much more capable of the job as Chief of Staff
than Dr. Craig Weasely, and he had heard. Naturally, his competitive
nature and male ego (AN: Gomen, I just *had* to add that in.) was
offended, and he took to Usagi as a threat, treating her in no way
more than civilly polite.
"Yes? What is it, Dr. Weasely?"
"I've received notice that you both have had offers to work at
Tokyo Hospital. Since you two are fluent in both English and Japanese,
the transfer should be a breeze!"
Usagi froze. Tokyo? Of course she was willing to go back!
She might even see *him* again. Her mind wandered...Chiba Mamoru...
what would you think of me now, Mamoru-baka? Sure, she thought it
was a school-girl crush at first, but now, she refused to go out with
any men, because none of them, to her point of view, was even *close*
to the perfection of Chiba Mamoru. She loved him. No, she *loves*
him. "Ohmigosh! Are you serious? Of course I'll take the offer!
Thank you *so* much Craig!"
Craig smiled, but smirked inwardly. Of course she should thank
him. He was the one that had toiled endlessly to get her transfered.
With her gone, they were both happy. She in Tokyo, and he with his Chief
of Staff position. "You're welcome, Serena. And what about you, Kirei?
Will you be willing to go?"
Kirei looked uneasy. "Umm...I'll have to think it over.
I'll call you tomorrow, Dr. Weasely."
"Of course, Dr. Fenikkusu. You have until Friday to make your
decision."
Friday...that left three days for her to decide. Today was
Wednesday. Kirei's mind raced. Could she go back? Surely, she couldn't
let her onee-chan go back by herself, but what about her friends here?
And..could she face him, after all this time? Questions raced through her
mind..and she had to answer them all by "Friday..." she repeated
monotonously.
Craig watched Kirei with curiousity. Finally
feeling his stare, she shook her head. "Yes, I'll tell you my decision
by Friday."
Craig turned back to Usagi. "You should inform the other doctors and
nurses, as well as your patients. You seem to be quite a favourite here."
He cringed inwardly. Like hell she was a favourite. That's why she had
to leave. She was ruining his chances to continue as Chief of Staff. Always
so cheery, she had to be rid of. Simple solution, move her to Tokyo. Kirei
had to be rid of too, for she was a close second in the favourites catagory.
If Kirei wouldn't go willingly, then he'd just have to dispose of her in
another way. He closed his eyes and leaned back into his chair. "You may go
now," he said, waving them off.
"Yes your majesty," Usagi mumbled under her breath. Only Kirei heard,
and she forced out a giggle for Usagi's sake. "What's wrong, Ki-chan?"
"I don't know if I can go back..."
Then it hit her. Baka-brains! Hino Rei's voice echoed in her head.
God, after all these years, she's still reminiscing about her friends. She
couldn't *wait* to see them again! But of course Kirei would hesitate about
going back. Her ex-boyfriend was there! From what Kirei had told her,
they were closer than close, and she loved him with all his heart. Obviously,
he didn't, because he let a small matter like age come between them. Usagi
understood both sides of the story, but didn't say anything.
"Of course you can go back. I mean, think about it! What if he's
moved? What if he's coming to Canada to replace me, and you get stuck here
with him? What if you fall in love with some creepoid here in Canada because
I couldn't screen him before he went out with you, and you didn't have my
opinion, so you marry him in a fit of infatuation, not really loving him and end
up being brutally beaten by him, but refuse to leave because you supposedly
love him? What if you and *him* fall in love again and get married and I get to be
your maid of honor and you end up living in a little cottage house with a white
picket fence and have thirteen children? There are a *lot* of
what if's, Ki-chan. But you've got to take in consideration what an
opportunity this is! And besides, I'll miss you too much to leave you here!"
she finished in a pout.
Kirei couldn't help but laugh. After all these years, Usagi was still
the childishly innocent girl who came to Canada from Tokyo. Her hair was
still in her 'odangoes'. She said she kept it as a reminder to have fun in
life. Obviously, it worked. But Usagi didn't know who the lucky man was,
she had never told her his name. How could she? After hearing Usagi babble
about her friends in Tokyo, she instantly recognized the person she was talking
about. Her fears were futher confirmed when she saw a picture of Usagi and her
group.
~*~ Flashback ~*~
"Hi Toki-chan!"
A sandy blond haired man smiled at his girlfriend. "Hello, Ki!"
Kirei instantly realised something was wrong. His smile had not
reached his eyes. "What's wrong, Toki-chan?"
Furuhata Motoki (AN: Yes, *that* Motoki.) lowered his eyes
nervously. "I-I can't see you anymore, Kirei."
Tears welled up in Kirei's eyes. "Why not, Toki?"
"Onegai, don't call me Toki. That-that's a pet name between
lovers, which we no longer are."
"Answer me! Why not?"
"The society we live in today will not take lightly to a thirteen
year old girl dating a nineteen year old man."
"Oh. So is that it?" Kirei covered her sadness with anger, "Is
that it? You're breaking up with me because I'm too young, is that right?
Because I'm nothing but a child? A mere girl?"
"Kirei, you know that that isn't what I-"
Kirei, in her fit of blinded anger, slapped him. Motoki placed a
hand on his cheek, surprised. "Don't bother explaining, Furuhata-SAN, I
get the picture."
~*~ End of Flashback ~*~
After that, how could she face him? She sighed and turned to Usagi.
"I'll think about it. Shouldn't you go talk to your colleagues?"
"Hai, I should tell them, and rearrange my patients and...oh my kami,
I have even more work to do than before." Usagi shook her head in defeat.
