Yui had managed to get through four morning classes- Praise the sweet Lord!- before she finally went to the nurse after feeling tired. A girl had helped clean her neck and she'd put the bandage on herself once the girl had left and now, thankfully, she was allowed access to the walked down the stairs slowly, her breathes soft to her ears as she walked when she felt a hand grab her wrist and she twisted her hand grabbing the wrist of the other person rotating her body weight on her feet swinging the person up and over her shoulder then down on the stairs in front of her feet. There was a cry then a pained gasp as she looked down glaring at the person who opened his green eyes to look back at her and she narrowed her eyes.
She knew it was the same person, after all she wouldn't forget the eyes she saw just before getting bitten and so she glared more when her heart beat hard against her chest making her hand fly up and grip the clothing in front of her chest. Her eyes widened and just as the owner of the green eyes shifted up she ran down around him to the bottom of the stairs jumping over the last four steps and down the second floor of the classrooms, the doors blurring past her as she ran. Her heart was beating painfully against her chest, nearly pulsating through her making her wince as she ran quickly and her hair flew behind her like a pale cape as she zoomed down the hall when she heard pounding footsteps and a low giggle behind her.
She felt fear tingle from the top of her scalp down to the back of her heels as she ran just as an arm reached out curving around her waist and she screamed loudly only to have a hand slapped over her mouth. You could bet that wasn't a welcome for Yui sank her teeth straight into the hand over her mouth hearing a low growl and she slammed her head back hitting into a face, feeling the satisfying crunch of a nose breaking or even dislocating and she lifted her foot stomping down on the other's foot and she twisted near spitting like a cat as she slammed her fist into the person's stomach, who she knew now was male, hard as she could making him double over and she panted softly turning to run but her chest hurt to bad to run anymore and her breathing was too loud.
"Leave...me...alone." She breathed the words out as she panted loud, her eyes livid as she stared at the male who's green eyes burned angrily into her.
"You should't have done that. You have no idea who you're messing with, little girl." He hissed the words out making her spine fuse with anger and her eyes narrowed.
"You don't know who you're messing with. Back the hell away from me and leave me the hell alone!" She growled the words turning and she stormed off with anger pumping through her veins and she huffed under her breath as she walked thankful for reaching another stairwell ad she walked forward going down the stairs only to bump into a firm back and she tilted her head back looking up into light red eyes framed by glasses and dark hair. "Sorry, I didn't see you there."
"Yes, well you would've seen me had you not been staring down at your feet." The male sighed out his eyes and tone flaring with irritation and she felt her own spark of irritation inside of her flare as she fought the urge to narrow her eyes, after getting the feeling that that would get her nowhere with this male.
"And I apologized." She replied back to him formally, indifferently and with a little underlying current of irritation in her tone as she looked up at the dark haired male.
"I see. Well have you seen a rather irritating male, green eyes, reddish-brown hair, fedora." His words were more of a statement than they were a question and Yui fought to snap at him.
"No but there's a male back there with green eyes, don't know if he's still there or not." Yui shrugged as those light red eyes burned into her and she looked back evenly, not backing down in the slightest bit.
"Well then, I shall go collect him." He moved around her without another word making her blink rapidly in surprise as his shoes clicked against the tiles of the school hallway and she shook her head moving forward walking down the stairs.
What the hell is going on! Barely into her first day and she's been bitten, then had a weird sort of standoff. Why this day? Why her? She sighed under her breath walking down the stairs slowly but surely until she reached the main floor of the school walking forward keeping her eyes down as she reached the nurse's office opening the door.
"Hello? Anyone in?" She felt stupid asking but a student had told her the nurse was barely in half the time and she'd have to call out before going in or else she'd have to go back to class.
"Yes, come right in!" The voice that replied wasn't cheery but it wasn't monotonous or formal, just a welcoming sort of tone but not overly so. She walked shutting the door behind her as she walked forward and when she turned a tiny corner, just a little one, to the desk there sat a white haired man with glasses perched rather lowly on his nose, a light smile curving over his lips as his golden eyes burned into Yui making her shiver internally.
"Hi, I was wondering if it was possible if I could lay for a few moments?" Yui gestured to one of the cots, hoping he'd let her lay and he smiled pleasantly at her.
"Why of course, I certainly can't just let you go with how woozy you're looking to me. Sit down and I'll check you out, alright?" The nurse tilted his head smiling and she sat in the chair just next to him, his own wheely chair moving forward and he held out a thermometer. "Alright, under the tongue for this now."
She opened her mouth and when it was inserted she shut her mouth around it, the end poking into the sensitive part of her tongue but it was easy to ignore it but it was hard not to move her tongue over the thermometer when it finally beeped. He pulled it out and made a small "Hmm" noise and wrote down her temperature. He then reached out his fingers strangely moving up under her jaw with a sort of crawling movement, his golden eyes seeming to search for something when he got to her pulse, hesitating over it before moving them away and he pressed gently, wrote something down then slapped his hands onto his thighs sighing out.
"Well you have a bit of a fever going on, just 37.2 degrees which is a little worrisome but not bad." The nurse had a humming tone as he looked at her and she stared straight back when a little wave of dizziness hit her but it was easy to ignore. (A/N: I looked up the conversion of 99 degrees in celsius, don't ask why, but it was also an online one so let me know if it's weird or wrong!)
"37.2 is ninety-nine degrees right? Should I be sent home or something?" Yui asked but her tone was sort of...light, hazy and a bit giggly if she had to describe it but those golden irises were just burning into her making her dizzy.
"No no I think you'll be certainly fine. I do wish for you to lay down until lunch, then if the temperature goes down you'll be fine for class if it goes up your father will be notified. Take any cot you wish." A pleasant smile was aimed straight at her making some part of her shiver even as her heart stuttered lightly.
With the stuttering of her heart the pupils in those irises seemed to constrict then widen ever so slightly and she stood up. Weird. Everything was super weird. She stood up but the floor swayed under her but it was...not easy but unnerving but she nodded numbly stumbling to a cot laying on it and her hair tickled her cheek as she shut her eyes.
When Yui opened her eyes again she felt okay, normal even, so much so that she couldn't help but smile and breath out a sigh of relief; she sat up with her hair tumbling over her shoulders fast from the spread it'd been in while she laid down and she slung her legs off the cot standing up. She walked out on steady legs looking up at the clock when she paled. No way! How can it be the end of the day already?! She felt stammered and a little whine, a little keen, left her lips as she panicked when clicking shoes of someone running entered her ears and the nurse's door was opened and in walked her father and surprised her when he rushed forward throwing his arms around her.
"Yui are you alright? The principle called when the nurse said you wouldn't wake up, you had a low grade fever but you were sleeping so deeply. You worried me when they called." Her father's arms were tight around her and she couldn't help but hug him back tightly and bury her face into his chest while closing her eyes. Her father wasn't one to openly show affection in public places, being proper almost and that it wasn't truly right to show so much affection in public, hugs were okay but hugs like these were kind of outlawed in public. But here he was, hugging her so tight she almost swore she almost lost her breath again when there was soft steps.
"Mr. Komori, I'm glad to see your daughter up and awake. You're daughter can go on home after she collects her work from the main office." Yui felt her father stiffen and she went to pull away thinking the hug was over but his arms tightened around her again. She couldn't see or look up right, but she could all but feel her father's gaze clashing and slicing through those golden eyes which burned back at Seiji.
"Yes, she is quite well. I'll bring her to the office, thank you. Will her bag be there?" Seiji's voice was emotionless, cold even making shivers rock through Yui. She'd never heard her father sound so cold, so callous and even fierce before, so she just clung to him as he held her so tight that she wanted to scream for him to let go but as they walked past the nurse she got her father and the nurse glaring at one another when the white haired man smiled at her pleasantly.
"You're bag will be waiting there, Yui. I'll see you tomorrow, I hope you feel well and shall be in good health." She felt her father tense as her pink eyes met those golden irises seeing the same constriction and widening of pupils but there was a...glow? A brightness to those golden irises that made her heart speed up and make her breathless and she shivered when a spine chilling grin spread across the perfect lips of the white haired man. "Good day, to the both of you. I hope to be acquainted to you on better terms, little Yui."
"Good bye." Seiji snapped out to the white haired man rushing out the door and when said door shut he held Yui tighter for a few moments before letting her go and grabbed her hand all but dragging her to the main office, entering it quickly when the secretary, Aiko Sasaki, looked up with wide golden-brown eyes a shock of her bright orange hair fell across her nose and she smiled.
"Hello Yui. You look well, I'm glad." Aiko smiled at the blonde who smiled hesitantly back as her father grabbed her bag.
"Thank you. I'll be here tomorrow." Yui replied as politely as she could with her father's stare burrowing into her and she took her work then ran out of the office slamming into another back and she groaned internally at how stupid she was and the deja vu gripping at her but she looked up to meet green eyes with narrow pupils making her blink as a red brow raised.
"Can I help you?" He asked making her cringe at his 'mightier than thou' tone but it made her pissed as well and she narrowed her pink eyes at him making his green ones narrow straight back.
"Accident. Now move, I don't want to talk I need to go." She shoved past the red head but snapped her head around glaring when he grabbed her upper arm tightly.
"Oi! You think you can get away with just shoving past and not have a consequence?" He snapped the words out like they were a blade making her tense up like a cat when her father stepped out of the office, his eyes like blades.
"Yui, is everything okay?" He asked with a blank tone as his hand burned into the red head's hand on her upper arm so fiercely she thought it'd burst into flames. Now she knew where she got her temper from at least...
"Yup. Let's go." She said the words shortly while yanking her arm out of the red head's grip walking to the doors shoving them open with her father just a few steps behind her and she could feel those green eyes burning into her but she ignored it. It was so so easy to ignore but something felt...so familiar about him that she wanted to turn and look at him. She fought the impulse, however, as she walked to the car listened to the doors unlocking and slid in with her father getting in the drivers side immediately, sliding the key in the ignition started it and they were pulling away quickly.
"Yui be honest, did something happen to you today? I have never once been notified of you sleeping like this before in school, so there must've been something completely wrong today." Seiji's words were rough and a bit sharp but Yui relaxed back against the seat of the car looking out the window.
"I'm fine. I was just tired and unused to going to school at night is all." Yui felt tired again, like the fierce front up had made her tired and she wanted nothing but to sleep.
"Then why do you have a band-aid on your neck?" Yui twitched a little at that then looked at her father a bit out of the corner of her eye and the curtain of silky blonde curls before looking back out the window.
"I cut myself with a pencil, it wasn't bad but it was bleeding a little bit and a girl had me put a band-aid and some neosporin on it." Yui was taken aback at how easy the lie came out. She wanted desperately to tell her father she was bitten and that was why she probably slept so long but the truth wouldn't leave her lips.
"I see. Yui, I want you to promise me that if something comes up or something happens that you'll tell me the truth no matter what it might be." She noticed her father's fingers clenching the steering wheel tightly, so tight that his knuckles turned white and she swallowed hard and thickly.
"I promise. No matter what, I'll always tell you. I promise."
