Chapter 2

Yamamoto woke up with a shiver. Realising that he was not in his bedroom, Yamamoto looked around the white, sterile room.

'I must have fallen asleep while waiting. How come the air-con's so cold!'

He heard a person's step outside the door. He then shivered again, this time not because of the cold, but the sinking feeling in the stomach. Without thinking, Yamamoto knelt down and hid at the side of the bed, directly opposite to the door. He then started questioning his weird reaction, but was snapped out of his thought when the door opened.

From his hiding place, Yamamoto could only see the visitor's feet through the gap under the bed. The visitor was wearing a pair of black boots and what seemed to be black leather pants. The tail of some kind of white rope could be seen hanging down just above the lower calf.

'Doesn't this hospital have some kind of regulation on doctor's dress?'

Yamamoto's thought was interrupted again by the, assumingly, doctor, who started to say in raspy voice.

'So you survived. It's a pity that you need to die. You can go join your beloved partner in hell!'

While the 'doctor' was distracted with his supposedly farewell speech, and else, he did not notice that the door opened slightly. Yamamoto though did not miss this as it was his only field of vision, but he was shocked when he saw a small infant, wearing dark suit and fedora, silently coming into the room. The baby immediately put his finger onto his mouth, indicating his order to be quiet. He then took the green lizard from his hat, which started changing shape, into his hand. Then the infant disappeared. The next thing Yamamoto heard was a deep "thump" and the 'doctor' collapsed on the side of the bed, unconscious. Being somewhat relived, Yamamoto crawl out of his hiding space and got up.

"Yo, Kozoo*! I didn't expect you to be here"

"Ciaoosu. Me too. You should have gone home. That was really dangerous. You could have been killed." In his hand, Reborn was holding a large, green, heavy looking hammer.

'Is that really 10 tons?' he thought. "Oh… Because I thought that it would be bad if the boy woke up and start panicking because he suddenly found himself in a hospital. Someone need to tell him what happened right?"

"…" Reborn did not say anything, but started taking needle out from the boy's arm.

"Hey! What are you doing? If you do that, he'll -"

"Don't worry, he won't die." Reborn quickly interrupted, "Be quiet. Don't ask anything. I'll explain them to you later. Now carry the boy. We are going to escape from this hospital"

There's a hint of urgency in Reborn's voice, and so Yamamoto did not question Reborn's order, and picked the boy up. He was surprisingly light. He then arranged himself so that the boy was on his back, piggy-ride style, so that it would be easier to move around quickly and quietly (well, it's hospital anyway). After ensuring that the boy wouldn't slip off him with every sudden movement he made or every time he ran, Yamamoto nodded to Reborn.

"Follow me, and don't let anyone see you. We need to get out of here quick, and having people asking questions would only slow us down."

"Why are we in such a hurry?"

"This hospital is now full of hitmans, and they want to take the boy's life"

Yamamoto did not know what [hitman] is, but he did understand the latter part of sentence. This alerted him, suddenly becoming sharply aware of his surroundings.

And so, their escape started.

Reborn went to the door, but did not open it right away. Instead, he waited for a full ten seconds before he tugged at the door. The door opened inward quietly. Reborn then walked out. However, instead of going left towards the lift, Reborn turned right and beckoned Yamamoto to follow. They walked quietly, not meeting any doctors or nurses along the way.

'I supposed the hospital at night can be quiet too' Yamamoto thought.

They went into emergency stairwell. Apparently, they were on 4th floor. After going through 3 sets of stairs, they heard a door closing somewhere above them. Reborn then immediately opened the door leading back to the hospital and quietly jumped through it. Yamamoto followed suit.

They were on first floor, which contained most of the examination rooms and scan rooms. Reborn broke into a silent run, which was amazingly quick considering his size. Yamamoto quickly ran to catch up. Reborn then went into one of the examination room, with Yamamoto closing door behind him.

"Why are we-"

"Shhh!"

Yamamoto then heard a lot of footstep echoing across the hall, along with some swearing.

"Shit! He's gone! Who would know that he would wake up so soon!"

"Didn't we put the seductive drip into his blood?"

"Maybe it's not strong enough!"

"He couldn't have gone far. The doctor said he'd lost a lot of blood, so he couldn't have moved around much"

"Let's split up and search on separate floor"

After the agreement, the footsteps started to fade as their owners dispersed throughout the hospital.

Yamamoto led out a breath that he did not know he had been holding, then casted a questioning look at Reborn. Reborn opened the window across the room. From the look and sound of it, it was still raining heavily outside.

"We are going out this way"

Yamamoto sweatdropped, then walked up to the window and look down. The height was not life-threatening, and the grassy ground would act as a cushion, but he would make sure he landed on his feet, or else it would be a big trouble for him.

Reborn jumped out first and landed lightly on the ground. Yamamoto then jumped out. He landed on his feet, but was stumbling forward due to the weight of the boy on his back, which he forgot to think about. After regaining his balance, Yamamoto quickly followed Reborn out of the hospital gate.

After walking through the rain for about 5 minutes and being soaked to the skin, Yamamoto opened his mouth to ask of the destination, but the Arcobaleno seemed to know what was on his mind.

"Can the boy stay at your house?"

"Huh?"

A/N:

kakashi126: Wow, already some speculations! Though I'm not gonna tell you whether you're right or not! It would ruin the fun of writing (and reading) if I told you!

MaskedTwilight: True, can't say much yet, cuz I'm not even sure if it will turn out right...

Hello again. Thank you for those who reviewed my story (even if there's only 2), and also those who put my story on their favorite or alert (or both!). Sorry that this chapter seemed a bit pointless and boring, but at least I do update! It's most likely that I will update weekly, mostly on weekends. But if I do finished the story early (which can be done due to overflowing KHR daydreams), then I may update it on Wednesday. But this is not gonna happen soon due to assessments and tests piling up on me!

And so, I apologised if I'm not updating this weekend. I might, but don't get your hope up.

And I decided to update today cuz I'm feeling good after reading some comments~~ (no, cuz the idea's overflowing, and I'm too lazy/busy to let it out most of the time)

Well, the suggestions for name of the mysterious boy are still open, and I still would like it to be in Japanese. In fact, maybe I'll think up of a name myself, cuz I want the name to associate with something. (no, I'm not going to tell you what it is. It would be a spoiler if I told you).

Again, comments are always welcome, good or bad. It's my 1st Fanfic afterall......

Btw, in last A/N I forgot that 1-pin has also been to future too……
