Chapter One : Razor sharp
Hatori sat at the desk in his office, taking a long drag on his cigarette, his cold gaze looking upon the crisp winter snow outside. The snow always making him remember and making him feel so cold, like an ice statue that still moved, living yet not really living, breathing yet not really breathing. He sighed lightly, seeing his own breath, he only then realized the heater was off, the room was cold. When he heard the knocking on the door, he stood up, his white doctors coat, white buttoned up shirt, and black slacks the only thing on him, he opened the door to see Ayame and Shigure standing there.
"HARI! My god it's been ages! It is us, your dearest friends Ayame and Shigure here!"came both voices at once.
Hatori felt the headache coming on, he sighed softly as they pushed their way in.
"My god Hari, aren't you frozen by now! How can you possibly live here! More or less actually be home!"came Ayame's dramatic tone.
Shigure had gone over to the heater and turned it on full blast, as Ayame was now shivering, not a good sign, the Snake was in a very thick fur coat, and he was very sensitive to the cold and all, it was actually colder in the house then outside.
"Do you wish to get sick 'Tori? You will if you continue to not care for yourself, where would you be without us!"exclaimed Ayame dramatically.
'Without a headache and fine...'thought Hatori.
"Well darling Aya! I must go visit Ri-chan! I will visit you both later!"exclaimed Shigure dramatically.
"Goodbye Darling 'Gure! Perhaps our paths will cross again upon this glorious day!"exclaimed Ayame.
Hatori was so sick of the over dramatics by now he finally got Shigure out of the house and went over to his desk, smoking another cigarette, he looked over to Ayame.
"Why are you here? To annoy me Aya, if so you may just leave."said Hatori.
"Oh Hari, how can you say such things of one of your childhood friends, after all that we've been through..."he began.
"Please Aya, I have work, what are you here for?"said Hatori in a very annoyed tone.
"Well, to be specific, I am here for a coughing fit from the other day. I didn't want to worry over it, but my breathing has been becoming rather hard and ragged, I do believe it may actually be a serious matter 'Tori."said Ayame.
Ayame had actually been very solem and serious while he had said this, making Hatori actually perk up and become worried. He went over to Ayame.
"I need to check your lungs, lift up the back of your shirt."said Hatori.
"Can you not do it with the shirt on?"asked Ayame.
"No Ayame, I can't, lift your shirt please."said Hatori.
Ayame removed his coat first, then noting the fact he had a light blue blouse and matching knee length skirt on, he lifted up the back of his shirt to reveal many cuts, almost as if made by a razor. To say Hatori was alarmed would be an understatement, the usually stoic man was shocked and horrified at the sight.
"Ayame, who did this to you?"came Hatori's squeak of a voice.
Ayame didn't answer, he merely shuddered and began weeping.
"Please Hari, don't tell 'Gure. My boyfriend did..."came Aya's shrivel of a voice, no longer proud and dramatic, merely a shell of what it was before.
Hatori was now filled with a deep need to pull Ayame close and carry all of his sadness onto his own shoulders. Hatori didn't do this though, he instead went over and began cleaning each razor cut, making sure none were infected, he bandaged Ayame, then checked his lungs.
"Ayame, you have asthma, you and Yuki both always have, Yuki's was always more severe, but yours is acting up do to extreme stress, most likely because of your boyfriend, and although this should be obvious, you need to break up with your boyfriend if not for yourself, but for your health in mind and body."said Hatori.
Hatori got out Ayame's inhaler and helped him use it, making sure it worked still. Afterward...
"I wish I could 'Tori...but he won't let me, and he abuses me during sex, or just in general...I don't know what to do...I'm afraid he might kill me if I leave him..."came Ayame's shrivel of a voice.
Hatori did the only thing he could think to do, he pulled Ayame close in an awkward but still comforting hug and let Ayame sob into his shoulder. Afterall, when he had cried, had not Ayame been the only one to let him cry into his shoulder...sure...Shigure had tried, but it hadn't seemed as right as it was with Ayame.
"Then Ayame, I will go with you, I will make sure, as your friend, to make sure that my friend is ok. But Aya, Shigure does need to know, he would be offended if having not known. So I'm going to call him and tell him to come back immediately tomorrow, for now, you may stay here and rest, ok?"said Hatori.
"Hari, I have to go home to him tonight, or god only knows what will happen, he will kill me, I'm sure of it..."said Ayame.
"Ayame, no...you rest here and get better, I will call him and tell him that as your doctor you need to rest your lungs."said Hatori.
"You don't understand 'Tori! He will kill me if I don't go home!"screamed Ayame.
"No he will not Aya! I will not let him! Shigure will not let him! You are not well enough to go home! Do you understand! I will not let you die! Not before I do! I am your friend, and if that's the only thing I have ever been good at other then being a doctor! Then I will not fail my friend! You understand! We have known each other too long Aya! And I will not let you be hurt like I was! I will not let you take glass to your beautiful eyes, or whips and razors to your skin! I will not let you be hurt physically or mentally like I was!"screamed Hatori.
Ayame sobbed, but he understood fully, that he would stay here with Hatori and heal. Hatori went to the phone and called Shigure, informing him of everything, Shigure came but not 5 minutes later and comforted Aya...not knowing what would become of Ayame, only knowing that they would face this boyfriend tomorrow.
