Chapter 4: Dr. Kaido's Crush
It was a typical morning at the Himemiya dojo. Or at least it became typical ever since Utena and her dad had moved in. The two in question were currently having a duel in the yard. Dios then walked into the living room.
"Breakfast!" He called. Utena and her dad turned their heads in midair as their stomachs rumbled at the thought of food. Before they could do anything, gravity took over and they ended up in the pond. Mikage went right for the food when he climbed out of the pond, Utena decided it'd be best to ring her hair and jacket out first. Anthy and Akio entered and took their seats at the table. Dios reentered with some hot water for Utena and poured it on the girl, who was only wearing a tank top. Mamiya then walked in with his toothbrush in his mouth. He took one look at Utena and it practically ended up down his throat. Utena stood up and put her jacket back on as she sat down at the table.
'As of today, I have a job.' Mikage held up a sign with this written on it.
"And where did you get a job, the circus?" Utena asked after reading this.
'No.' With that Mikage got up and left, still a panda.
That morning at school started with gym class. Utena had some how ended up convincing the teacher to let her join the boys class. The girls had ended up playing baseball, while the boys did gymnastics. Utena wasted no time showing off her skills. All the boys were impressed. After she had finished, she went to rest. Two boys then approached her.
"Hey, Tenjou-kun, that was some pretty amazing stuff." On boy commented.
"I heard you were practicing karate in China." The other commented.
"It was dueling." Utena corrected in a bored voice. She really didn't care for their sucking up. The two boys then sat down on either side of her.
"So, have far have you gotten with Himemiya-san?" The one to her left asked. Utena blushed.
"What do you mean?" She asked nervously. She sure hoped these boys weren't talking about what she thought they were.
"You know. You two are engaged. Have you done the engaged thing with her yet?" The one to her left asked. Utena blushed harder. 'Engaged thing?!?!'
"By the way, how does the engaged thing work between two girls?" The left one asked.
"I bet it's hot." The right on commented.
"Yeah, you must be a total pimp." Left one commented.
"Yup, and she can't resist your stuff." Right one said. Utena bolted up, having enough of their comments.
"Like I'd ever do anything like that with an uncute girl like that!" At that comment, a baseball struck her on the side of her face.
"Tenjou-kun, shouldn't dueling have taught you to dodge that?" Left boy asked. Anthy then walked over sheepishly.
"Sorry about that Utena." She apologized. Right boy sighed.
"She dissevered it for called a totally attractive piece of female flesh like you uncute." He commented. Anthy sighed, resisting the urge to pummel both Utena and the boy with her baseball bat. She just pulled Utena off the ground.
"Come on, I'll take you to see Dr. Kaido." With that the two changed back into their school uniforms and left school.
The two walked to Dr. Kaido's in relative silence. Utena was quite grumpy about the boys' comments and having been hit with the baseball.
"I said I was sorry!" Anthy barked noticing Utena's look. Utena looked away from her. 'Totally uncute.' She thought as the approached Dr. Kaido's office and entered. Once in, they were greeted by Mikage, still in his panda form.
"Tenjou-san, what are you doing here?" Anthy asked as the two sat down in the waiting room.
'I work here.' Read his sign.
"Wow, Dr. Kaido must have been desperate to hire you." Utena commented to her dad. Mikage snarled at her.
'Hey!' Said the sign. Before he could punish his daughter, Dr. Kaido entered the waiting room.
"On Anthy, you're here again. And you brought a friend." He said as he walked up to the two girls.
"This is Tenjou Utena." Anthy told the doctor. Dr. Kaido's eyes widen as he smiled.
"Oh, isn't she your fiancé I've heard so much about?" He asked as he shook Utena's hand.
"Our dad's decided that, not us." Anthy told him with a blush. 'How did he hear about that?' She wondered. "Anyways, we're here because Utena was injured during gym class." She jestered to the bandage on Utena's face.
"OK, I'll have a look at that." He leads the two into his examination room. Once there, he seats Utena down and peals the bandage off. "Oh my, you must have been hit with a baseball pretty hard. From the imprints, I guess Anthy hit it." Anthy just blushed.
"Wow, even balls she hits at people has her name on it?" Utena asked in shock.
"So she did hit that ball, I was just joking." Dr. Kaido then laughs as he applies ointment to the wound. "But still, that is a funny coincident." He put a new bandage on Utena's face, gets up and exits the room. Anthy then sighs.
"He's a very good doctor." She comments, "Ever since I was little, he's always healed the injuries I got from training." She stares blankly out the window. Utena stares at her.
"You like him, don't you?" She asked. Anthy just sighed again.
"It doesn't matter. There is someone else he likes…" With that the phone rang and Mikage picked it up and tried to answer, forgetting the fact that panda's can't talk and people can read signs over the phone. Anthy got up and took the phone from him.
"Hello." She said as she took the phone.
"You idiot, why did you answer the phone like that?" Utena scolded her dad. Anthy put the phone back down. "So who was it?"
"The person Dr. Kaido likes. They are coming here right now." Anthy picked up her school bag. "Come on, we better leave before they arrive." She heads towards the door, but is stopped by Utena.
"But I want to know who he likes." Utena tells her, "Besides my neck is killing me. I want the doctor to look at it." Just then the door to the waiting room opens. Utena's eyes widen. "Oh my, is this the person Dr. Kaido likes?"
"It's not her." Anthy said referring to the old lady who had just entered. Utena nods.
"Well that's a relief. It'd be a scary thought to picture him with an old lady." Utena walks back in to the examination room. "But if not her, then who?" Dr. Kaido re-enters the room.
"Oh Utena, you're still here?" Utena nods.
"My neck is a bit sore from being hit with Anthy's ball. She hits quite hard you know." Dr. Kaido laughed at her comment while Anthy glares at her. Dr. Kaido takes a hold of Utena's head as he prepared to make it better.
Back in the waiting room, the old lady was patiently waiting when the door opened. She gasped when she saw who had entered. 'Oh no, it's that person!' She thought as she looked at the person in horror.
"Good day." The person said in a sweet voice.
"Um, good day to you too…" She stuttered as she exited the building in fear of her life.
Back in the room, Dr. Kaido was just about to heal Utena's neck when the door opened.
"Oh Anthy, Utena-kun, you're here." He heard a voice behind him. His glasses fogged as he blushed and turned around. A loud snap came from Utena's neck and she screamed in pain.
"Mr. Licky-lick!" The doctor exclaimed as he saw Dios standing in the room. 'Mr. Licky-lick?' Utena thought through her agony. 'So the person he likes is Dios?' Dios walked up to the doctor and held out a tray.
"Here, I brought you a present. I hope you find it to your liking." He said. Dr. Kaido took the cloth off the tray of cookies and tied it to his face like a mask.
"Yes, I'm liking it quite much." He commented.
"Um, I meant the cookies." Dios said. Dr. Kaido looks down at the plate and takes it.
"Oh, how lovely." He starts to eat the entire plate. Dios just sweat dropped.
"You're only supposed to eat the cookies." He said. He turns to Anthy. "Lively character isn't he."
"You'd be surprised to hear he isn't like this when you're not around." Anthy comments.
"Um, doctor!" Utena yelled. "My neck is still killing me." Dr. Kaido looked down at her.
"Oh what have you done now, Utena-kun?" He takes her neck and cranks it to the other side. She screams in agony again.
"That didn't help!" She screamed. Dr. Kaido just ignored her while he stared at Dios in aw. Anthy gets up and leaves. Utena decides it's best to follow her before Dr. Kaido kills her in this state. So she gets up, her neck pretty much dislocated, and exits.
Outside his office, a crowd of patients stand waiting for Dios to exit so it's safe.
"I wonder what horrors are taking place in there." One man asked. The other patients shuddered.
"I don't even want to know." The old lady from earlier commented. "He's a great doctor, but a killing machine when Dios is present." They all nod at this. They all look up as Anthy exits with Utena hot on her trail. They all gasp at Utena's dislocated neck.
"The poor girl." One man commented as they passed. The rest all nod as they wait.
That night, Anthy sat in her room thinking about Dr. Kaido. 'How can I get him to notice me?' She wondered. 'I've already tried everything I can think of. I guess I just need to accept the fact that he likes Dios and not me.' She looked up and saw Utena staring at her through the window, her neck still dislocated. She opened the window. "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened at Dr. Kaido's today." Utena told her.
"It's OK, Utena, there's nothing you can do about it." Anthy told her.
"I mean it must be hard to crush over a guy who's just not interested in you, but not even interested in your sex. That's rough. Maybe if you had my curse you could get him." At that comment, Anthy whacks Utena in the face. "Hey, my neck's back to normal now." She commented, "Guess your hit is good for something." Anthy just sighed.
"What would you know?" She said.
"Well I do know if you want a gay guy to find you attractive, you need to be a man yourself." Utena told her, "Maybe I should try to seduce him for you." Anthy picked up her sword fuming.
"Will you just stop rubbing it in?!?!" With that she starts pummeling her.
That night, Utena and Anthy visited Dr. Kaido again so he could heal Utena's pummel wounds. "Oh, Utena-kun, Anthy, you're back." He says as he leads them to the examination room. "What happened to you this time, Utena-kun?"
"An…" She started as Anthy glared at her, "uncute girl beat me up." With that Anthy practically knocked her over. Dr. Kaido looked at Anthy.
"You did this to her, Anthy?" Anthy just blushed as Dr. Kaido sighed and went to work. He finished in 15 minutes. Utena and Anthy grabbed their stuff as they prepared to leave. "Oh, Utena-kun, maybe I speak to you in privacy for a minute?" Utena followed the doctor back into the examination room.
"What is it, doc?" She asked.
"Anthy is a really sweat girl. You should try to get along with her." He told her. Utena just huffed.
"I would if she didn't make it so difficult." She said. Dr. Kaido just pats her on her lower back.
"Just try for me, OK?" With that he let Utena leave with Anthy.
Utena and Anthy walked in silence. "So what did Dr. Kaido want to talk to you about?" Anthy asked.
"He just told me I needed to get along with you better." Utena told her. The two continued to walk until Utena collapsed. "Ack! What the?!?! My legs stopped working!" She thought about how Dr. Kaido had patted her back before she left. "That stupid doctor must have did something to me!" Anthy sighed as she bent down.
"I'll give you a piggy back home." She said. Utena gasped.
"What?!?! No way!"
"You want to spend the night here?" Utena seeing she had no other choice, let Anthy give her a piggy back home. She looked at Anthy's face. 'OK, maybe she is a bit cute.'
To be Continued…
Well there's another chapter. For those of you who were wondering why Dr. Kaido called Dios "Mr. Licky-lick", that was Utena's nickname for her prince in the manga.
