The floor creaked under his feet. It was a loud sound that echoed through the mansion, but the voice calling him was louder. He continued to walk through the dark gloomy hallway, following the voice calling out to him. There were many doors on each side of him, all leading into unknown territory. The carpet throw rug was a maroon red colour and felt soft underneath his bare feet despite how dirty it looked.
He came across a picture of a woman hanging on the wall. She was beautiful. The woman looked fairly young and had light blue-gray-ish coloured hair. He wasn't sure how to describe it, but it was a unique colour. She held a stern but soft expression with blood red eyes which seemed to be trying to gaze into his soul. The dress she wore was very old fashioned and looked to be dated from a few hundred years back.
"…Takao…" his named being called woke him up from his trance and continued down the hallway looking for the voice.
As he went further, the voice grew louder. Takao stoped in front of a door on his left. He knew the voice was coming from inside the room.
"…Takao….Takao, come to me. Let me out Takao…" Takao felt scared. He backed away from the door suddenly afraid of what would happen once he opened the door.
"Takao"
"Takao" the voice grew louder and angrier."Takao, open the door. Let me out!"
Panicking, Takao ran back down the hallway, the voice growing louder calling out to him to come back. His legs started to feel heavy. He breathing coming out in short gasps. He continued to run, the hallway seeming to grow longer. Black mist of some sort began spilling out from under the doors. It filled the hallway making it harder for Takao to see where he was going. The mist grew thicker engulfing Takao in darkness. It was getting harder to breath.
Coughing uncontrollably Takao felt hands on his shoulders shaking him. Feeling frighten from the sudden touch he began to scream, which just turned into a fit of coughs.
"Takao!" A new voice called out to him, a softer more caring voice. It was almost comforting."Takao wake up. Its time to wake up"
Takao's eyes shot open only to be met with a pair of honeycomb coloured eyes gazing down at him.
"Takao are you alright?"
Takao sat up on the couch he was currently lying on. He looked around the room he was in. Pictures of fish and flowers decorated the white walls. A wooden desk was placed in front of the only window in the room which was opposite the door. The couch he sat on was in line with a chair where a young man with long black hair sat.
"I'm okay Dr. Rei" he smiled shyly embarrassed about his panic attack.
Rei sighed in relief, "Good. Now, do you want to tell me about what you saw?"
"It's the same as always. The mansion. The voice. The mist. It's always the same." He said to the young doctor feeling a strange reason not to tell him about the woman.
"…What about the vampire?" Rei asked cautiously.
Takao sat up from his seat, anger clearly on his face "He's not my imagination! He exists! I know you think I'm crazy but I'm telling the truth." His emotions changing from anger to desperation. "I'm not making it up. It's not my imagination."
He slowly sat back down sadness clearly on his face. "I'm not making it up" he whispered again.
"Okay, I think we should end today's sessions early. We'll try again another day" Rei went behind the desk filling out information about the events that had happened. "I heard Hiromi was coming in today. Why don't you go see her?"
"Why would I want to see her? She's so bossy and loud" Takao turned his head to emphasise his distaste in the said girl.
Rei chuckled lightly "I've seen how you interact with her. I know she means more to you then just being bossy and loud."
"Well it is nice when she brings us candy" Takao giggled, excited on the thought of her bringing gifts
"Candy?" Rei looked surprised. He was about to question more before Takao ran out the door saying his goodbye quickly slamming the door shut. He sighed once again 'No wonder he was so hyper last week.'
Rei sat down at his desk going through the files looking for the one marked 'Kinomiya Takao'. Opening the file on his desk he skimmed through looking at the information. Rei Kon had been Takao's doctor for the past 2 weeks and had found it quite easy to gain the trust of the individual. The only trouble was getting Takao to tell him more about the dreams. He knew he was hiding something but didn't want to pressure him.
Rei read through his file again hoping to memorise it off by heart.

A young boy, Mizuharu Max, a friend of Kinomiya was accompanying him at the time of the event. Mizuharu denies what Kinomiya believes, saying "…he just fell to the ground when we were playing and didn't wake up…"
Kinomiya was emitted to Bey City Evan Institute on the 2nd of September 2005 by his father Kinomiya Tatsuya.
Recent Updates: Kinomiya's previous doctor, Dr. Jonathan McGregor, was found deceased in his home on the 13th of August 2008. Dr. McGregor had been Kinomiya's doctor for 36 months. His documentation of Kinomiya's progress is included in this report.
Dr. Kon Rei has agreed to take the case of Kinomiya. Dr. Kon has started his documentation on the progress of Kinomiya on the 19th of August 2008.
Rei was interrupted when a young woman wearing a blue uniform opened his office door. "Mr Daitenji would like to see you for a moment Dr. Kon."
"Thank you Elizabeth" with that she left Rei to tidy up his desk before meeting with the director of the hospital.
On his way to the office Rei spotted Takao and his friends sitting in the lounge area. He stoped for a moment watching them. Around the coffee table sat a girl with brown hair wearing a blue uniform, the same as Elizabeth. Beside her sat another browned haired boy who was holding a computer to his chest protectively as he spoke to a tall red head sitting across from him. At that moment Takao said something to the red head causing his face to turn the colour of his hair and for the girl to start a screaming fit.
"TAKAO YOU PERVERT!" Rei heard her scream.
'Heh, Takao was right. Hiromi is loud.' He chuckled lightly before continuing his was to Mr Daitenji's office.
He knocked on the door; upon hearing a 'Come in' he opened the door to meet not only Mr Daitenji but another man sitting opposite him. As the man stood ready to introduce himself Rei took in his appearance. He was tall and bulky wearing a long green trench coat. His purple hair was gelled up in a way Rei had never seen before.
"Rei, I would like you to meet Dr. Balkov"Mr Daitenji smiled sweetly, completely missing the evil aura radiating off of Dr. Balkov as he placed his hand in front of Rei."He's come from Russia, he runs a children's centre much like ours"
Rei gulped "Nice to meet you" he shook his hand, his own almost being crushed by the sheer strength of Dr. Balkov.
"Please sit, both of you."
'I have a bad feeling' Rei thought, taking one last glance at the Doctor he sat down next to him.
"As I have said, Dr. Balkov is the Director of a children's mental hospital in Russia, Biovolt."
"Biovolt? Interesting name for a hospital" Rei glanced at Balkov, the bad feeling growing ten fold.
"Russian is a much different form of language compared to the Japanese, Kon."
"Ahaha, yes it is" Mr Daitenji tried to lighten the atmosphere in the room, "Now moving on to the reason you were called here Rei. Dr. Balkov has read about your patient Kinomiya"
At this Rei's eyes widened slightly giving his whole attention to his boss, "Takao?"
"I had a similar patient myself, a young girl believed she had been attacked by a vampire, much like Kinomiya's story" Rei's eyes widened even more at the information "Although, this happened a few decades ago. I had believed I was making progress untill one night she lost it and not only took her own life but 4 other of my patients.
When I heard that there was a similar case here in Japan, I had to come see for myself. It was a horrible thing to happen, and the though of it happening again was just too much for -" he sighed much to dramatically which only caused Rei to dislike the man even more "I have come here to offer
my help. You are young Dr. Kon and are obviously to inexperienced to handle a case such as this. Mr Daitenji has not allowed me to take over the case completely but I will be involved. Any information you receive and any new tactics you try must be acknowledged by me first understand?"
"No!" Rei stood up from his seat knocking it over, his face red with anger. "Takao is under my care, you have no right to come here and order me around. You have already failed once; I won't let that happen to my patient."
Balkov sat up looking ready to punch the lights out of Rei, untill "Dr. Balkov!" Mr Daitenji caught both their attention "I would like to speak with Rei for a moment. Would you please wait outside?"
Wordlessly Balkov left the office, slamming the door behind him.
"You can't let this man do this Mr Daitenji"
"I have no choice Rei. He has come here on legal matters….but that also means he can't interfere for longer than two weeks. "A knowing smile found itself on Mr Daitenji's face "If no evident progress is made within those 2 weeks he has no choice but to leave on our word. Just bare with him for that long, even talk to Kinomiya-kun about the situation, see how he reacts."
Rei nodded unhappily "You never know, Dr. Balkov might actually help Kinomiya-kun" Rei snorted at Mr Daitenji's last words before leaving the office.
Dr. Balkov was leaning against the wall next to the door, his arms crossed and his chin resting on his chest. His head shot up at the sound of the door opening and closing. He sneered towards Rei.
"I don't know exactly why your here, but I can assure you, you wont be hurting Takao. In any way. Understand?"
Balkov ignored the words roughly shoving past Rei before entering Mr Daitenji's office, slamming the door behind him to end his act.
Rei sighed heavily before heading down the corridor back to his own office. The next two weeks were going to be hell.
Uh well that's it, if you liked it tell me. If you didn't, tell me why. If enough people want me too ill write another chapter okay?
Oh and sorry for any grammar mistakes, I cant really be bothered going through it, if you spot any please tell me and ill fix them up.
