Chapter 3: Near Death Experience
Don't you go dying on me Kid...not now...-Izaya Orihara-
Izaya shoved his way into the house, it wasn't really a home, but that was not what mattered to him now. He carefully placed the wounded boy on the couch. Celty was looking at Izaya but she said nothing running to get the doctor. She came back into the room followed by a black haired man in a lab coat. "What the heck happened?" He dragged the first aid kit over, muttering about things that Celty would run off to get. "He just got in a bit over his head...can you help him?" Not that Izaya usually asked such a thing. But he was not letting Kida die here, for reasons he wouldn't say though. "It'll be a close call but yes...Celty prepare the room in the back this kid needs to be stitched up..." He dragged Izaya over and made him put his hands on the cloth that was covering the wound. "Just keep your hands there, we'll come get him in a little bit...if he wakes up don't let him move..." With that Shinra was gone, he had work to boy was panting his hands seemed to clench and unclench as if he felt the pain and was awake but he wasn't. It hurt, and he was not doing so well as it was. "I..izaya..." The kid was speaking even though he wasn't exactly awake. Izaya just shook his head and focused on holding it over the wound. Shinra walked back into the room, motioning to the room. "Bring him in here Izaya and hurry..." He moved to let them go through, Celty was still setting stuff out on the table next to the bed. As soon as the boy was on the bed, Shinra drugged him to knock him out and keep him that way so he wouldn't feel the pain. "Gonna have to cut his clothes..." He started to cut the shirt, after removing the hoodie and other things. He had stripped the boy down to all but his boxers. They set to work stitching up the wound, Izaya just kept the back and watched. He knew Kida was stubborn and wouldn't die, but maybe even his mind couldn't help but think he stood up after bandaging the kid's forehead, and checking the iv that was sticking out of the kid's arm.
"He should be fine...he just needs rest...possibly should stay here for a few days till we know he's truly fine..." Shinra figured that Izaya wouldn't mind, better to have Kida in safe hands or maybe there was something else about this. He just nodded, and didn't say anything as Celty and Shinra walked out. "Kida...getting into trouble what did I tell you...You should tell me if you are hurt..." Kida's hand twitched as if the kid heard Izaya, he was probably going to get mad at Izaya later. But for now the kid was too out of it to do anything. Izaya spent most of the next few days wandering around, waiting for Kida to wake up. He was recovering little by little each day. Izaya had gone out again, to get some stuff just in case Kida woke up, he wanted to at least get some food in the boy and Shinra had sent him out to get food since they were running low. Kida was left alone in the room, and he forced himself off the bed. "I..izaya kun..." He stumbled, and felt the tug off the Iv that was stuck on his arm. He didn't pull it out, no he grabbed the pole thing it was stuck and used that as crutch to get across the room to the doorway. He saw two people, one he knew and the other one he had seen around. "So you are finally awake...you should be sitting down...Can't have you hurting yourself more..." Shinra helped the boy sit down on the couch, looking at the wound.
"It seems you are healing up nicely you gave us quite a scare...Izaya hasn't left your side for days...It took us pushing him out the door just to get him to get food..." Kida yawned and leaned back, he winced, he could barely stand without the iv thing. So he didn't want to have them remove it now, but he didn't stop Shinra when he did."So you helped me...thank you..." He heard the door open, and wanted to get up but Shinra just shook his head and kept the boy sitting down. "Izaya someone has been waiting for you..." when Izaya walked into the room Kida smiled and waved. He was still a bit exhausted, but he moved over to let Izaya sit next to him. Kida curled up on Izaya's chest, trying to be careful of his wound. "Did I worry you Izaya...if I did i didn't mean to...it was..." He felt a hand over his mouth. "Shush...you should relax...i'm just glad you are awake..." Izaya might not have shown any emotion in his voice when he said that, but Kida would probably know he meant it. Kida nodded and closed his eyes, as much as he did not wish to go to sleep. He was exhausted, he forced himself to at least stay awake till he heard Izaya's quiet breathing.
That meant the older male had fallen asleep, and Kida soon joined him in sleep."Celty let's leave them be..." Shinra got up covering them with the blanket before the two walked out of the room, to go get some rest in the other room. ~Sometime that Night~Kida coughed, and tried to get Izaya to wake up, he could barely breathe it was like his chest was being sat on, but when he looked to where Izaya was the man was gone. What was the weight on his chest, he stumbled off of the bed and used the iv thing as a crutch to get to the front door where he thought he heard fighting. Izaya was standing out there fighting with Shizuo. He saw Izaya get hit and go sliding across the ground. "IZAYA!" He glared at Shizuo limping and picking Izaya's knife off the ground. He was still holding the iv thing and he slashed at Shizuo. "Leave Izaya alone...why can't you just go away..." He coughed, and stumbled falling back only to be caught by Izaya. "You should have just stayed inside boy..." He didn't care that he might have seemed rude. It was bad for Kida to be out here right now."Looks like Izaya is picking up strays again..." Shizuo just laughed and turned to walk away. "I'll play with you when your little pawns stop getting in the way..." Kida clung onto Izaya since he could barely push himself up off the ground. His throat hurt and his voice was hoarse from yelling like he had.
"Kid you should have stayed inside..." Izaya picked the boy up and moved back into the house, he put the boy down in the hospital bed he had been laying in. Before Izaya went and curled up on the couch in the other room. "Izaya I'm sorry..." He sighed and curled up to go to sleep, his head hurt again after all that had just happened. He didn't mean to get Izaya hurt, was it so bad that he knew little of what Izaya did. And he might just have put his lover/friend in looked at his phone, Mikado and the others were looking for him, but he was not in the condition to move around still. He texted Mikado. "Sorry...dude was in the hospital...collapsed from exhaustion..." He didn't know if he was going to hear back right away but when his phone went off again a second later he got one of those really big whats and the whole are you okay. What hospital are you at? We'll visit you later. Kida sighed and told him about the place that he was taken to. He would have to ask the Doctor if they could come over first, and also Izaya but he didn't mention Izaya to Mikado. If he did it would probably just make more problems. He limped out of the room, towards where Izaya was sleeping. "Mikado and the others they are worried...Izaya I don't want them coming here...Not now they'll freak..."That was the last thing he needed, he just wanted to rest that couldnt' be such a bad thing."Well just tell them Shinra said no..." Izaya moved the phone away from Kida, pressing his lips against the boy's he wasn't going to push him too hard since he wasnt' healed completely yet. "You worried me kid..."
He held the kid to his body, and moved to where they were laying down on the couch. He wouldn't lose the boy again that was for sure. "But Izaya I'm fine now...it just hurts a little..." He leaned to where he was resting on Izaya, though the clothes he was wearing barely covered things. Izaya ran his hands over the stitches, not that he cared but the boy did react, he seemed to lean into the touch as if he wanted to be touched more. The boy arched, he could feel Izaya's bites on his neck. He didn't mind them at all, he was just trying not to get hurt more."heh sounds like someone is enjoying this..." He stopped hearing voices, It was Shinra, probably to check on Kida's wounds again. He wouldn't stop him. "Well it looks like you two have a delivery to make...Izaya you can take Kida with you or leave him here...it would probably be better if he stayed here though..." Shinra didn't want the young blonde to go, but the grip Izaya had his arm said that he was. "Alright he can go with you...just don't let him get hurt..." Kida got up, there was a crutch under his arm as he walked out of the place with Izaya. "Can we stop by my house too...so I can get a few things I mean after the job..." He wanted to do this and just get out of here already, but there was no real way for it. "Sure we can...though we are going on a bit of a road trip after this so you better grab more then just for a few days..." Kida didn't know this, but he was glad for it."So what about the..." He was interrupted by Izaya again who just mentioned that he had already talked to the school. "They gave me your homework already I'll help you with it later..." They had finished the delivery and were walking to Kida's house now. Izaya was supporting Kida since he was getting exhausted and finding it difficult to walk. He dug around for his key, trying to put it in the lock. Izaya just took the key from Kida's hand and unlocked the door.
"Let's get your stuff and then go...there's a few more things I need to do before we leave..." Kida limped through the house picking up some of his stuff putting it in a bag that Izaya had brought with him. 'I wonder where we are going...'Kida limped into his room and sat on the bed, he didn't like making Izaya do anything. So he was trying to gather it all himself, even though he was would not let himself seem weak, no he was just way to stubborn for that kind of thing, he would never let anyone see him that way. "I think I have it all..."He moved back over to Izaya, before he dug around and scribbled a note for the housekeeper. '...going to a hospital to get treated...will be back soon...call if you need anything and thank you...' He sighed it, though it was shaky because his hand was.
"Let's go Izaya kun..." He moved out of the door waiting for Izaya to come out as well."When will they be here..." Kida moved to lean against the wall, he saw someone before Izaya did. "Iza-kun hide...it's Mikado..." Kida shivered and looked to Izaya who had taken that time to hide. "What's up Mikado?" He could tell that the boy was looking him over but he was fine. "The teacher said you were leaving for a little bit...where are you going?" Kida knew Mikado would be the one asking questions about it. "Just going to another hospital...the doctor said I need therapy to fix my leg...it's not healing right..." that would at the least explain the crutch right maybe they would at least understand from there. And it would get Mikado to stop asking questions. "well I have to go Mikado I'll text you later k?" He smirked and waved before he climbed into the care someone picked up his bags and slipped them into the back of the car. As they drove away, Kida moved closer to Izaya."He wanted to know where we were going...said another hospital...that's for the best...right..." Izaya nodded, he seemed to be distant like he didn't wish to talk anymore. Kida drifted off to sleep, he was exhausted from today's events. "Sleep well Kid…" Izaya looked out the window of the car, he didn't tell the kid where they were actually going, yes it was a vacation but that was not the only reason. One day he might tell him before he heard from someone else, but for now he would let it just stay as it had before. 'This is going to be better then staying in Ikeburo….at least he can rest in peace…'
Author Notes: Well that's the end of this one, it's late so it's kinda bleh. Next one will be better. Well bye bye for now.
