Chapter Two: Fear Falls Down Like Rain (Part 2)
'Oh crap, I just blew it,' thought a freaked out Rin.
Rin lowered her head making her hair cover her crimson cheeks from embarrassment. While she looked down at her lap, she bit her lip as she contemplated on what to do. 'I really should apologise,' Rin thought finally.
Rin abruptly stood and bowed fully about to apologise before hitting her forehead on the doctor's desk.
"Ouchhhh…," said Rin while rubbing her forehead.
"Before you even injure yourself further please take a seat," demanded Sesshomaru.
His temper was slowly building, not to mention this little girl implied he was "stupid". 'Teenagers,' Sesshomaru sighed mentally.
"Okay," sighed Rin who was still rubbing her forehead.
After Rin sat again, she was about to speak to her doctor and apologise but before Rin could even open her mouth to speak; Hiro spoke up.
"Hi, I'm Hiro and this young lady to my right is Rin," Hiro paused then continued. "She's your patient."
Rin looked at Hiro as if she had two heads; she had never seen Hiro so serious and diplomatic which left her jaw agape.
Hiro saw Rin's expression and just giggled and shook her head in disbelief.
"Rinny, close your mouth it's bad manners," giggled Hiro who seemed back to her normal self.
Rin immediately closed her mouth and turn red from embarrassment once again. Somehow today just wasn't her day. 'I just embarrassed myself once again; gosh I'm such an idiot,' Rin mentally bashed herself drifting off into space.
Sesshomaru cleared his throat which brought Rin out of her stupor and started to delve into taking patient history.
"So Rin, you're 19 and you have a knee problem?" asked Sesshomaru who was already jotting notes down.
'Damn, this man doesn't waste time,' Hiro mentally noticed. She couldn't help but stare dumbfounded at Dr. Takahashi.
"Umm, yeah… and my knee gives me a lot pain," said an uncomfortable Rin who was fidgeting in her seat.
"Hn… How long has the pain been there?" asked Dr. Takahashi who still didn't look up from jotting notes down into Rin's file.
"About four and a half months," replied Rin.
"What activities do you participate in?" Sesshomaru asked again.
'He isn't letting up but it is his job,' thought Hiro.
"Umm…. I am on the track team for Tokyo University but I took a month off from running because I felt that it was putting stress on my knee," Rin paused then continued. "Even after, I still felt the pain even when I walked," finished Rin.
After Rin finished talking, silence engulfed the room while Dr. Takahashi continued to scribble notes in Rin's file. After a few minutes of writing, Dr. Sesshomaru finally spoke breaking the silence.
"Please go behind that curtain over there, and take off your clothes including your bra and put on the medical gown," Dr. Takahashi stated.
"Uh... Okay Dr. Takahashi," answered a confused Rin.
Rin gave Hiro a 'What the hell, why do I have to take my clothes off?' look. Hiro just shrugged her shoulders and shooed her towards the curtains. Rin still looked like a confused pup so she told her why she had to wear the medical gown.
"So he can examine you silly," Hiro said in a matter of fact tone.
"Obviously, so is something wrong with me then?" Rin said as she stood up from her chair.
Before Sesshomaru could answer, Hiro intervened knowing that the all too blunt doctor was going to say.
"Nope, it's just a regular examination Rinny," Hiro consoled Rin.
She hadn't been to the doctor in ages and when she had been to the doctor; she pushed those memories so far in her subconscious that Rin herself forgot about them.
As Rin walked towards the curtain which isolated Dr. Takahashi's office to the examining room, she couldn't help but think about her 'new' doctor. She had never seen a god-like figure in her entire life. He had such silky silver hair that would be heavenly to touch and groom. Not to mention the biceps he had, it looked as though he worked out often. Then again Dr. Takahashi was a full inu-youkai by the birthmarks he donned.
While Rin was in deep thought about her doctor's features, she pulled her t-shirt off then took off her jeans and unhooked her bra and placed in a pile on the table where the gown had previously lain.
As Rin was tying the last string to the gown, the curtains were pulled to the side suddenly revealing the doctor that was plaguing her mind. It had only been a few minutes but he was already in her thoughts.
"Take a seat on the examination table please," Dr. Sesshomaru instructed somewhat politely.
Rin nodded her head and took a seat on the examination table. When she was seated, Dr. Takahashi took out his stethoscope and pressed it firmly to her left side of her chest. After a minute or two, Sesshomaru moved the stethoscope to her sternum.
"Inhale then exhale for me," Sesshomaru stated.
Rin did as Dr. Takahashi instructed, she breathed in then she exhaled.
"Again."Dr. Sesshomaru instructed again.
Rin did what Dr. Takahashi instructed again. She inhaled then exhaled for the doctor before feeling a bit light headed.
"I'm going to use this reflex hammer to test the muscle reaction in your knee," he stated picking up the reflex hammer.
He used the reflex hammer on her knee, but her leg hardly convulsed. It looked as though something was odd and Sesshomaru didn't let it convey to his face.
"Okay, we are going to need a MRI done," Sesshomaru said.
As he was about to walk to his desk, he heard Rin speak.
"What's the problem?" she asked.
Instead of answering her question truthfully, he decided to tell her something that wouldn't cause her to worry just yet.
"It's just extra precautionary. I am always thorough with my examinations," he replied as he walked towards his desk once again.
Dr. Takahashi also paged his nurse to prepare and escort Rin to the MRI room. Sesshomaru started to write some more information on his patient, Rin.
Before he could even finish what he was writing there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." instructed Sesshomaru.
When the door opened, it revealed Sesshomaru's nurse.
"Sesshomaru-sama the MRI is ready," replied the male nurse.
"Jaken, make sure that the x-rays are done on her knees," stated Sesshomaru before going back to his notes.
"Yes, Sesshomaru-sama," replied Jaken.
"Follow me," he said without even looking at Rin.
"Not even a 'please' is in that sentence, seesh no manners at all," Rin muttered as she got off from the table and started to follow Jaken out the room.
To her ignorance, Dr. Takahashi heard what she said and smirked slightly though no one saw what he did as continued scribbling notes in Rin's file.
~~XxX~~
Jaken was a very short male nurse even for a toad youkai. His skin was a very grungy colour of green that looked like moss. Not to mention the scrubs he was wearing were so feminine.
"I've never seen a male nurse wear pink scrubs before," giggled Rin.
She place a hand in front her mouth to cover up the giggle but Jaken heard it.
"Shut up! One of the nurses in the cafeteria spilt something on my green scrubs," defended Jaken.
"That's funny," Rin laughed.
"Wait, why am I even explaining myself to a human wench," Jaken stated smugly.
Rin just stuck her tongue out at him childishly as they continued down the white hallway to the MRI room.
~~XxX~~
An hour passed since Rin did the MRI and she was getting restless to know what the results were. She was pacing up and down in the waiting room again.
"Come on, Rinny sit the hell down. You're giving me a headache." finished Hiro.
"But-" she was interrupted by the nurse at the work station.
"Rin Hinata, Dr. Takahashi is now ready to see you again," the nurse said going back to her paper work.
"See, all you had to do was wait patiently," Hiro elbowed Rin lightly.
"Haha, funny." Rin stuck out her tongue for effect.
~~XxX~~
As they sat in Dr. Takahashi's office once again, Rin kept fiddling with her fingers. She couldn't wait any longer to know what the results were.
"The result is back," Sesshomaru paused then continued. "You have bone cancer in your knee. It is very treatable but it will take time to do so."
"What…" a very confused Rin asked.
"I said you have-" before he could finish he was cut off by Rin.
"I know what you said; I think the results are wrong. I don't feel sick, I feel fine." a flustered and frustrated Rin said.
After she said that, she stormed out of the room leaving Hiro behind. Hiro being the responsible one stayed behind to inquire more from Dr. Takahashi.
Sesshomaru sighed mentally. "Now she is going through the five stages of grief; Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance."
That made a lot of sense as to why Rin stormed out now, even though she thought it was because she couldn't handle the truth. Hiro just nodded her head in acknowledgement of that new piece of information.
"Is she going to be okay Dr. Takahashi," asked Hiro.
"Yes, but she will need to make another appointment with me. So we can discuss further what actions she will take. You will also be required to attend these appointments as well, as you seem the only rational person to deal with this." replied Sesshomaru.
