Chapter 3! Enjoy.
He had 1313 as his patient today. Why did he have to have patient 1313? And why did they have to make him go in and do it alone?
"You seem tense Kiba." said Tenten as she analyzed him. Neji, Ino, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sai, Shikamaru, Temari, and Sasuke all nodded in agreement.
"I have 1313 today." said Kiba. All the more emotional of the group gasped.
"But you're so… new! You've only been here for like, 3 weeks!" said Tenten.
"Hey Kiba, careful with 1313, she's supposed to be real vicious when getting her meds." warned Ino.
"Well it's time for our shift to begin." said Naruto with a groan. Kiba was scared by the end of his shift, 1313 was his last patient. He unlocked her door slowly and walked in.
"Hm, by your footsteps I'd say you're Kiba, am I right?" asked 1313 from her usual spot.
"Yeah, I'm here to give you your meds." he said looking at a clip board showing all his patients meds. Woah. That was a long list.
"Long list right? I don't know why they give me all that, do I look like I need anxiety medicine? What do I have to be anxious about? It's impossible to get in without a keycard and I'm not afraid to die." said 1313 and Kiba pulled the pill container from his jacket pockets. Turns out the inside of the jacket had this huge pocket that you could keep the medicine of the patients in.
"Do you need water or something to swallow the pills?" asked Kiba staying over by the door, waiting to see if she would break out and try to kill him.
"Water? Such a thing still exists?" echoed 1313. Kiba raised an eyebrow. 1313 elaborated.
"I haven't had water in awhile, well I probably have had it but whenever I'm fed or allowed to use the bathroom I'm either knocked out or drugged so bad I think I'm sleeping." explained 1313.
"Oh, so you dry swallow these?" asked Kiba, looking at some of the pills. Some were huge!
"What else am I going to do? No nurse is going to stay close enough to me to let me get a sip." said 1313 before snorting.
"Do I look dangerous to you? I bet when you first heard of the dangerous sand insane 1313 you thought black hair, big and buff, older, with demonic red eyes? Spot on right?" asked 1313. Kiba gaped at the girl.
"How did you know?" he asked.
"When I first came here I heard about the big and bad 1313, I didn't know who 1313 was. Only that I was chained to a wall and barely able to move! So naturally, I asked a nurse who told me I was 1313. But before I knew I was 1313, I thought that 1313 looked like that!" explained 1313. Kiba was shocked, 1313 hadn't even known that she was feared when she first came? After what she did?
"Imagine me when I first found out, a 16 year old girl being told she was supposed to be some demonic insane person?" said 1313 with a snort.
'She was 16 when she first came? That mean she was 23 now, so young…. she could still live a normal life, if she went to college or high school.' thought Kiba.
"Do you want me to get you some water? For the pills?" Kiba found himself asking. Kiba saw 1313 try and lift her head to look at him.
"Damn, I can't even see you to look in shock; you're in my blind spot. What do you look like anyway? Actually, I'd love that water with my pills first." said 1313.
"I'll be back in a minute." said Kiba. He opened the door and closed it before going to the desk. He got a water bottle and a strange look from Tsunade who manned the desk up there.
"What's with the water bottle?" asked Tsunade.
"1313, she told me she dry swallows the pills and I asked her if she wanted water with them. She told me she'd love to have water with her pills. She also told me she was 16 when she first came here, so that means she's 23." explained Kiba. Tsunade grabbed a clip board and took out a patient sheet. She jotted down 1313 in patient number and wrote 23 in age.
"We don't have any information on 1313 because she refuses to answer questions, if she says anything else, write it down here." she ordered handing it to Kiba.
"And you're willing to help her swallow her pills with water? You're a brave man." said Tsunade patting his back before he walked back to 1313's room.
"I'm back." stated Kiba as he walked in.
"Good. I swallow my pills fast and I won't need too much water for each pill." explained 1313 as he went over to her. He went to move her hair but she stopped him.
"Don't move my hair, I don't like it when someone sees my face or eyes, just move my hair to the side a bit so you can get it in my mouth without my hair." she said sharply. Kiba nodded and did as she said. It took 10 minutes of water being spilled, pills being dropped, and snorts coming from both to get all the pills done.
"Well, you're not very good at your job." said 1313.
"Well, maybe I'll see you tomorrow." said Kiba turning to leave. 1313 liked talking to him, he wasn't afraid of her, or at least as afraid as everyone else.
"Promise?" 1313 was big on promises. If you didn't keep your word then you were probably going to end up dead.
"huh?" asked Kiba.
"Promise you'll come again tomorrow?" asked 1313.
'She wants me to come back?' thought Kiba.
"I promise." said Kiba and he swore that her hair moved a bit and he saw a smile. But it was gone as fast as it appeared.
Kiba requested to have 1313 again. Tsunade was surprised and so, she had given it to him. Someone actually requested 1313? Better yet, he managed to get her age out of her! No one's ever been able to get any information on her, not even her!
Kiba opened the door to 1313's room and stepped in.
"Kiba! You came and didn't break your promise. Did you know that I'm really big on promises? Break a promise and I'll kill you, I hate people who break their… promises. Basically, i kill those who break promises." 1313's voice cracked a bit in the end. Kiba jotted that down on a notepad.
"Why do you have a notepad?" asked 1313 curiously.
"So that I can learn more about you, you're interesting." said Kiba. He wasn't lying, she was interesting, and he did want to know more about her.
"Oh, ok! You're interesting too, from what I can pick up from what I've heard and smelt you are roughly 5…. 5 foot... hm 5'11! I can tell by your steps, and when you were giving me my pills yesterday you were able to tower over me even though I'm 2 inches off the ground and I should be around 5'6, unless I grew. I probably grew so I'm probably somewhere around 5'7 or 5'8. Next about you though, you smelled like dog so I'm guessing you have a dog. I like dogs. I've always wanted one, I've never had a dog, or known anyone who had one and let me near it. I've always wanted to pet a dog…." said 1313. Kiba raised an eyebrow.
'Woah, she guessed my height, and knows I have a dog? But… she's never pet a dog?' thought Kiba.
"You've never pet a dog before?" asked Kiba, surprised.
"Nope, I've always wanted to but my life before this place left no time for dog." said 1313, a trace of bitterness and sadness in her voice.
"Well, maybe one day I can bring him in, he's small enough to hide in my coat." said Kiba.
"Really? Promise? Promise?" asked 1313 trying to bounce in excitement in her chains. She was starting to feel more secure around Kiba. Like, like she wasn't insane. Like she was, like she had a friend. Like she wasn't lonely anymore.
"Hey Kiba?" asked 1313.
"What?" asked Kiba.
"Do you have any friends?" asked 1313.
'Why would she ask if I had friends?' wondered Kiba.
"Yeah, why?" he asked.
"Well, I've never really had many friends. Just a few people, my best friend was a guy, he was real nice. I was supposed to help him with his job, he liked to make clay sculptures, but he also really liked fireworks too so he made both! I liked mixing the stuff for the clay and fireworks together, I also liked it when he mixed the clay and firework stuff together and made explosive clay, that was fun! I was supposed to help him with his job the day after I got here, I bet he saw what I did on the news. Even if I got out, I bet he'd see me as a monster." said 1313.
"What's his name? And I'm sure he wouldn't see you as a monster, friends are there to help you through things." said Kiba as he jotted down things about 1313, like she had never petted a dog, about her friend, about her life not being so good before she got here.
"His name was Deidara; he was friends with some other people. I got along really well with this girl that really liked origami, she was a friend too I guess, and then her boyfriend liked me and called me a cute kid. I told him I wasn't a kid and everyone laughed. Even I laughed." chatted 1313. Suddenly she got quiet.
"I'm ready for my medicine and water now." she said quietly. She missed her old friends.
"Ok." said Kiba getting the pills and water bottle ready.
"Do you want to know what I do during the day?" asked 1313.
"What?" asked Kiba.
"I daydream. I think about what it's like outside and what I'd be doing if I wasn't rotting away in here. I wanted to be an actor, or maybe a musician. I loved playing guitar; Deidara said that I should join a band. I was going to, but…" Kiba didn't push her as he gave her the pills. It only took 5 minutes this time.
"Promise?" asked 1313 when he was going to leave.
"Hm?" asked Kiba.
"Promise, you'll come again tomorrow?" she asked.
"Promise." said Kiba with a small smile. She wasn't so bad, how could she be this mean and evil demonic 1313?
Author's Note:
Q/A-Um, if you could describe 1313 with a song, what song would it be?
A-Does anyone even care? No one answered the last question-_-
