Chapter 2: The Chinese Nawab sits upon the lotus' dream…
Lenalee was now in front of the door to the patient's room as she inhaled deeply out of anxiety. She herself did not know why she was so anxious or nervous. It's as if something big was going to happen, big enough to change her life, which truthfully it was; the job she was entrusted with by her Nii-san gave her the step to the next level in her working career as a nurse, this made her extremely satisfied, because all those years of hard work are finally paying off slowly. Her hand reached to the knob and turned it slowly.
.Klank. The sounds of her heels spread out through the room along with the beeping of the machinery, as she entered.
"Hello Kanda-san, my name is Lenalee Lee and starting today, I am going to be the one responsible for your well-being and hopefully…I'll do my best to help get you back on your feet again." She said to him with a big smile even though she perfectly knew all too well he probably could not hear her or see her in his state. She always introduced herself to her patients to form a good relationship and not have any uncomfortable feelings or atmospheres, so it was out of habit that she introduced herself to her new patient.
She walked up to the side of his bed and took a long and contemplated look at the man that laid there, despite him being in a comatose state, the beauty he had didn't wither a bit. Long navy blue hair that flowed around his face almost like a night sky reflected on the surface of the sea and made the skin that he wore stand out like the ray of light that the moon emitted at the end of a terrible storm in the seas. His lips were brushed with a pale tint of peach color, making it the pink coral reefs at shore.
'Wow, never have I seen such beauty in a man.' Lenalee let her thoughts be known to her as a slight timid blush rose up to her skin as she noticed her thoughts were heading to the wrong direction.
She was about to touch a strand of hair that was in his face when the doors burst open to reveal a group of people that were talking amongst themselves.
"So the preparations are already done I assume?" The oldest out of them spoke with a deep and stern voice that made a person stand still. Rouvelier's voice was the one that stood out the most to Lenalee's ears. She never felt comfortable around the head chief of Black Cross. There have been lots of rumors about him; on how he used to test new mechanisms to help patients with neurological problems on people, especially children. His stare was just too penetrating, she disliked his eyes and stare very much, sometimes they even gave her nightmares that sometimes could be mistaken as memories.
"Ah, Lenalee, so you have been assigned as the nurse for the patient." She instantly tensed up as his voice spoke her name, a seething tongue could be heard behind his tone.
"Y-yes, I was requested to take this job and I accepted to be responsible for the patient." Rouvelier just looked at her for a moment longer and then quickly turned around to the people he was talking to.
"Well then. Now that everyone is here, let's get this operation started." He said. Everyone that was around him started to get in their places. One was standing next to the patient taking all the information about him. Another one was on the computer, typing who knows what information. The person was a man with bright red hair and a patch on his right eye. This man's name was Lavi. He is hardly seen in the halls of the hospital because he is usually with the people who are in the 'shadows' of the hospital. He is known to be one of the world's best and successful hacker.
"Miss Lee, I need you to come here and sit right next to me please." He said while pointing at the chair next to him. She somehow felt at ease when he talked, probably because his voice sounded calm but energetic and playful in way. It was soothing though, because at least not everyone in that room was serious and uptight. She walked over and sat on the chair to his left, just as instructed.
"Now, I am going to put on some cables necessary for the transmisión to occur successfully and without obstacles." With this he was holding the white plain cables in his left hand and right. He reached to her temples and applied them. When he did, she felt a slight sting, the ones you feel when a needle pricks you for just a millisecond. After that he took out a small glassed container that held what looked like pills, in the color of a wine red gel.
"Ok, so I am going to need you to take one of these." He handed her the pill as she stretched out her hand and it was placed on her palm. She held it up to her face with her forefinger and thumb so the light shined on it making it glisten a bit.
"What for?" she asked with a quizzical look on her face, a bit suspicious of course.
"Oh no, don't take it as something bad," he said as his hands waved back and forth, " they are just to help you go to sleep and let you go to the trance as needed for you to be able to enter his mind." He said this while his finger pointing on the side of his head, to make an emphasis on the word brain.
"Oh…I see, ok then." She grabbed the glass of water he held up to her and placed the pill on her mouth and drank the water as she felt the pill go through her throat and up to the point where she no longer felt it. She wiped the bit of water droplets that placed themselves on her lips as she gave the glass back to Lavi.
"Umm…I have a question, how does this all work? What I mean is why do you input so much in the computer? Do you really need that much information?" She asked. She really was a bit curious on how it worked but she also had other intentions on why she asked him.
"Hm? Not really, Right now I'm just pretty much getting the program updated by inputting the patient's information, of his brain, life, and whatnot."
"You mean, you put every single detail of his personality and events of his life so far?" She asked quite astonished on what technology could do.
"Yes, pretty much." He replied. "We also input your information also, that way the computer or any other circuits won't attack you in any way; now we wouldn't want that happening, right?" He flashed a smile and went on typing and clicking away. It took quite a while to finally get the program set up and ready to go, and the head of the hospital was getting a bit impatient, which made Lavi move his fingers a bit faster than normal.
"So after I input the information in, all I have to do is click this button here and there, the computer will do the rest!" Lavi said with excitement as he pretended to press the button.
"Are you starting to feel drowsy yet, Miss Lenalee?" Lavi asked. "Please… call me Lenalee, and yes… I actually am…" her eyes were drooping now and her head was bobbing a bit. Once she fell into the sleeping trance, Lavin clicked the enter button on his keyboard and automatically, millions of zeroes and ones started appearing on the black screen of the computer. All of a sudden beautiful scenery appeared on the screen.
"Yes, it worked!" Lavi said in a whisper only heard by him.
Rouvelier's smirk couldn't have been any wider and conspiracy couldn't have been more visible.
Lenalee's body felt like it was floating more and more afar from reality and closer and closer to the earth of fantasy. Her mind felt so at ease and tranquil; she woke up to see winds calm and soothing, sunrays warm and bright, and skies blue and clear.
She sat up and found herself on grass bright and green. She felt so comfortable on the grass she didn't feel like getting up and do her mission. She wore a white long sleeved thin dress with a turtle neck and a dark brown line going through the middle of it all the way to the end of the dress that reached below her knees just a bit. She turned her head around to her left to see petals of cherry blossoms floating around her swiftly. She then turned right and saw a pond full of lotus flower; she was so focused on the magnificent surroundings of nature around her, she failed to notice the person sitting on the edge of the pond of lotus flowers. His back was facing her, but she knew who he was; obviously because whose mind could it have been than none other than Kanda Yuu's, but it was more of a feeling one has when they haven't seen a long familiar face since ages. Her heart unexpectedly skipped a beat.
'Wait, why did my heart skip all of a sudden? It has never done that before, maybe it is the anxiety of the job? Yeah maybe that is it.' She ignored the action of her heart as she saw that the man stood up and started walking toward where she was, but without noticing her since his gaze was on the ground. He had a long sleeved thin shirt with the same line that her dress had, and baggy white thin pants and his hair was tied up in a ponytail. She froze on the spot as he stopped a couple of feet away from where she was sitting at when he finally took notice of her presence. He looked at her with a serious gaze and almost intimidating, almost.
"H-hi," She said to the man in front of her. After a bit more time inspecting her, he spoke.
"Why are you sitting there?" She was quite taken aback by his response or comment to her, she expected more of a surprised remark, but his comment made her a bit more relaxed, so she was a bit thankful because it dissipated the awkward feeling between them.
"O-oh! Sorry, I didn't mean t-…" she was cut off as she saw a hand in front of her face. She took it and stood up with his help.
"T-thank you." She said with a smile after she dusted her dress off with pieces of grass that marked it temporarily. He was about to keep on walking to where he was headed when she stopped him before he took the first step.
"M-my name is Lenalee Lee." 'Gosh! Why am I stuttering so much?' A slight tinge of blush rose to her cheeks out of embarrassment as her hand was stretched out to him.
He just stared at her hand before he did anything. "I didn't ask who you were."His eyebrows were positioned in a questionable way.
"O-oh, sorry." She took her hand back and scratched the back of her head in an apologetic manner.
Upon seeing this, he sighed, "Kanda Yuu." And with that he passed her and walked away as she left a blushed Lenalee behind. She smiled wide as her eyes closed and though to herself that although their introduction wasn't the best, it was a success to her. With that thought she turned around and followed him to get her mission started.
"Wait!"
AN- wow! So sorry for the extremely late update! I really did start on this chapter, it's just I needed to finish it and I couldn't do that all last week cause I have been busy with school and whatnot, doing projects and finals, since the seniors are getting out earlier than the rest. So it was quite chaotic! BUT here it is! 8D I like how it came out, I had quite a dilemma on how they would introduce themselves when they met and how they were going to meet and how they would react, so I came up with the least OOC possible way I could think of XD lolz hopefully it didn't come out too OOC, I really don't think so but who knows:shrugs: Hope you guys enjoyed it! If you did, review! ;D that always makes me happy X3
