Chapter 2: Introducing Wheel and HollyCock
Today consisted of a clear blue sky and busy streets, like it usually was in Tokyo.
People walked through the streets like small ants, each had a purpose, each were going somewhere.
Toddlers played in parks, mothers gossiped between each other, children went to school.
Now was the time when the sky was at its peak in the sky, touching all with its welcoming rays.
Some people prayed at a temple, some people worked, some others were on vacation.
Hours would go by until the sun left the horizon and went to visit another side of the world, but there was no worry,
for the moon would come and keep Tokyo company.
At night the big city was nothing like it was in the morning, daytime, or evening; at night the city would light up.
Businesses closed, others opened, people left their jobs to go greet a family and warm dinner,
some left their homes to enjoy a night at a restaurant,
pub, club or another form of entertainment, and some went to work.
Tokyo never died, never stopped, it was always a busy place, a mass of people.
The night went on as the moon passed through, until it too, left, and the sun would come back.
Sunrise was when there were less people in the streets, when exhaustion filled the people that stayed up all night,
and the ones that had gone to bed early were yet to awaken, a peaceful silence reigned over what little crowd there was,
but it only lasted a few hours, maybe even less, it would always depend on what day of the week it was.
Those few more hours in which people shifted places, where people went to bed and called it a day,
and then the other people that silence their alarm clocks with a tap of the palm,
and then the entire process started anew.
A sigh escaped the woman's chapped lips as she let herself fall on the blue and black plaid couch sitting in front of the Clinic door,
she removed the latex gloves protecting her hands and swung them idly onto the floor,
they landed with a small sound and were forgotten by their previous owner.
The woman who wore no make up wiped her for head with the back of her hand, even with air conditioner and two fans blasting,
it was extremely hot today.
The heat had sucked all energy from her, yet she still had to go to work and do so much more,
she wasn't looking forward to it, not one fiber of her being was looking forward to it.
"Hey, you better pick that up, wheel!" a male voice called in a scolding tone, to which the woman didn't react much to,
at most her eye twitched in irritation,
but besides that she did not move one inch to pick up the gloves she left on the polished wooden floor.
Instead, she stared up at the white ceiling, subconsciously tracing the cracks. Above her that ceiling was someone's floor, f
or some reason that idea amused her.
She inhaled, ready for the giant breath she would let out in just a few seconds; enjoying feeling relaxed while she could,
for today had been a stressful day so far, full of worries.
She was so content in her relaxed state that she dismissed the idea of getting up to teach him a lesson.
"Still making fun of my name, Hollycock?" she replied, subconsciously remembering the first time
she came up with that clever nickname for him,
it was a very funny memory, she would have chuckled right then and there if she wasn't so lazy.
The woman turned her head to the left and searched for the man that was currently sitting in front of a laptop,
he was on the other side of the living room.
"Hey! Its HollyHock you stupid woman!" The man exclaimed as he left his chair, turned around, and pointed an accusing finger at her,
a chuckle escaped her lips as she dismissed the man with a little gesture of the hand turning her attention back to the ceiling.
She enjoyed making him angry like that, one of the few sweet things in life.
"Yeah yeah, sorry, Aoi, but you gotta admit it, that was pretty funny."
Aoi crossed his arms and rolled his eyes behind his glasses, he didn't seem to share the same sentiment with her, in fact,
not once did he share the same sentiment when it came to jokes or what is going past the line.
"Yeah, funny for you, Rotsa, a woman with no soul." The woman, now identified as Rotsa smiled at this,
another sweet thing in life was when someone told her she was evil,had no soul, was mean, scary, the list is endless.
She felt that it was nice to know that she was intimidating,and so she would try her best to keep up that sort of impression.
Aoi is a slim, average height guy with dyed white hair and Asian features, he had a very trashy style,
and his definition of elegant wasn't exactly what you would call elegance.
Aoi tended to live on instant ramen when Rotsa didn't come to his house and cooked something for him,
he is currently single and not looking,
he rents porn because he hates getting viruses and having to fix his computer.
Aoi hates milk but loves chocolate milk, he has three ear piercings and one tattoo,
he believes that one day he will kidnap Lucy Liu and make her fall in love with him, like in a movie.
Aoi is what you could call a doctor, barely.
Instead of working at a hospital, he helps diagnose people on the internet and lives off of what they pay him,
he spilled miso soup on his college degree and shrugged when Rotsa asked him about it.
He is also one of her most trusted people in the world, and she would gladly give her life for him,
yet fortunately the opportunity never arose for that, so for now she would work on
one day paying him all the I.O.U.'s that she pulled on him.
"Thank you for lending me your clinic, Aoi. You should put that on my I owe you tab…"
She said in a soft voice as she closed her eyes once more.
Aoi had gone back to his chair and was looking through a pile of papers until he found an extended list and wrote down "Lending clinic"
right below one that said, "1 six pack of corona's, pack of Marlboro red's"
that's right, he was keeping track, the list of I.O.U.'s was so big that he could no longer recall it mentally, so he began to write it down.
Aoi knew that by now he could get Rotsa to sell her soul to the devil for him and she would still be in debt to him.
With that in mind, he put the list away and continued to type away on his laptop.
"Yeah yeah, already noted…so who the hell is that guy?"
Rotsa opened her eyes, she remembered the first time she saw "that guy", he was bleeding heavily and looked like he wouldn't make it,
fortunately Rotsa and Aoi were a little more than respectable doctors and were able to save his life.
Rotsa didn't look like a doctor, she was too flamboyant to be a woman in a white lab coat,
she wasn't exactly the one who chose to be a doctor anyway,
it was her parents who sent her from Italy to japan, where they had a very nice university.
Rotsa was smart, but she didn't want to be a doctor, yet she stayed in school,
deciding that it would be good for her in the end, maybe one day she would be in an airplane and someone would get sick,
and so she would be the hero that saved the person, and that was practically what motivated her.
Now Rotsa keep her degree hidden in a box inside her closet, why did she need it, anyway?
"Who knows? I found him bleeding to death at work, so I decided to help him out." she said.
Aoi stopped his typing, shaking his head. The way Rotsa put it was the way you would say,
"I saw a spider in my room today, and then i killed it."
but they were talking about some unknown stranger with bullet wounds,
a person that couldn't go to a public hospital due to some "issues" with the law.
He turned around, glaring at the relaxed woman that he had to worry about everyday,
the woman he considered a little sister.
"You're crazy. Maybe he's a child molester or a vampire, maybe even an evil prince that is secretly a serial killer!"
Rotsa raised an eyebrow at that, noticing the ridiculous glare that was on Aoi's face.
"Don't be ridiculous, aho! That has got to be the stupidest thing you have told me today! He's a vongola member."
Aoi's glare vanished and was replaced with a mix of fear, and doubt.
Vongola was a powerful mafia family that even the public knows of, they were originally Italian, like most of the mafia families,
but the tenth generation Vongola successor was born and raised in japan, and most of the family moved here, at least,
thats all the public knows, but if you are connected to the mafia in any way,
you would know that the Vongola is spread around the world.
"So you know who he is." he asked, still not quite believing what Rotsa was saying.
What are the chances that a Vongola member would be a mysterious person that was found in a dark alley,
bleeding to death with multiple bullet wounds?
Actually, now that Aoi thought about it, it was pretty likely.
"No, not really, i just happened to notice his ring, that's all." she replied, still with that
"i don't really care that he's a powerful mafia family member" attitude that she had.
If Aoi was in the situation she was in, he would have called the ambulance and gone on with his life.
Rotsa, however, didn't work that way, and that was something he never understood about her.
"So, which one was it?" Aoi couldn't help himself, he was curious to know, what was done was done,
and there currently lay an unconscious Vongola member in his apartment, why not get to know him a little?
"Which…" Rotsa paused to think for a bit, and then a frown showed itself on her features as her mind came up blank.
"Sorry, I didn't really check, I only recognized it to be a Vongola ring and that itself made me pee a little,
so I decided to pretend it wasn't there, those people are scary people, I tell ya…"
Aoi nodded a few times before he got up and walked to the resting girl, grabbing her arm and pulling her to her feet.
"Hey, what the hell!" She exclaimed as her relaxing time was interrupted, she gave him a death glare as he dragged her out of the average sized room and into another, larger one.
"Were going to check and see who he is." Aoi said as he guided them into a completely white room called the Clinic,
it was nothing like a professional Clinic, but it had all necessary to treat someone, it even had the white tile floor and smell of floor cleaner.
Rotsa felt her stomach do a back flip, she knew her heart rate had increased for a second there too.
"Wait, I'd rather not know…" she quickly said, halting their steps with all her strength, yanking her wrist away from Aoi's grip.
"Aren't you curious?" he asked, turning around with an excited expression in place, Rotsa shook her head eagerly.
"Hell no! You know, I witnessed one of them fight once! And that was just Lambo, the lightning guarding! I was still scared!"
Aoi laughed at this, ten, twenty, thirty seconds passed, he was now holding his sides.
"Are you serious? Lambo? That cry baby?" he exclaimed in between laughter, this only made Rotsa's glare intensify,
until she looked like she was ready to kill someone.
Lambo is another member of the Vongola family, he was recruited at the tender age of 5,
he was known to be a stupid cry baby that wore a cow suit and had a big Afro.
Lambo is currently 17 years old, he is now known to be formidable, but sometimes he is still a cry baby.
Rumor says that Lambo was a member of the Bobino family, a family that makes weird devices like the legend of the ten year bazooka,
but so far it has never been confirmed that Lambo was or is still related to the Bobino family,
since neither they or the Vongola cared to explain.
"Screw you, HollyCock! If you were there, you would've been cowering behind me like a scared puppy with its tail between its legs!"
she said as she stomped passed Aoi, she knew what she had seen.
Lambo, in one hit had instantly killed a formidable enemy in plain daylight,
she had been visiting an old college friend in Nanimori when this happened,
never again did she underestimate anyone, not even the stupidest looking person.
Lambo didn't look like a fighter, more like a playboy,
he had even flirted with her before the enemy launched a not very surprise attack on them,
Rotsa thought he was handsome and all, but she didn't date younger men, so after she saw him kill the enemy,
she walked away, having learned a valuable lesson in life.
The Clinic was a rectangular shaped room with rows of hospital beds lined on the left wall,
seven in total, each surrounded by blue curtains,
ll were opened to reveal empty beds, except for the last one on the row.
At the end of the room stood four cabinets seven feet tall, each held different things, medical tools, medicine, machines, etc...
Directly next to the cabinets stood a wooden door with a sign above it that told you in neat black print that it was the operation room.
The Clinic was mostly empty, except for the few patients that Aoi decided to treat personally, not just through the internet;
but as of three days ago there was the exception of the one patient that lay in the bed at the end,
the sound of his vital sign monitor beeping in perfect rhythm to the patients weak heart beat,
the IV dropping a small amount of medicine every two minutes giving away his presence.
Aoi and Rotsa stood next to the black haired man in silence, studying him as he breathed into the oxygen mask.
They took a quick glance at his status on the patient monitor and then back at the patient himself.
"So his heart rate is still bellow normal…" Rotsa said in a quiet voice, studying the man closely, he was handsome, that was for sure,
his features reminded her of a cat, elegant and beautiful, mysterious.
The man was so still that he could pass for dead, he looked so weak.
"Yeah…but hes doing better than yesterday, and the medicine I gave him seems to be working,
I say he will probably regain consciousness in a few days."
Aoi replied, adjusting the IV to drop medicine at a more suitable pace.
