Hey guys!! Back with another chapter!! I hope you all still like it. Thanks for reading and please leave reviews, I could really use the feedback. Feel free to suggest things I can incorporate.
As usual, I do not own Initial D or any of the characters, just Yasmine and the doctors.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knowing sleep would elude her, Yasmine changed her outfit quickly and decided to take her car out for a spin. She was going to pay a visit to Kitagawa-sensei and perhaps find out what exactly was going on. No one at that hospital had been what they seemed. After her narrow escape with the Takahashi boy, she'd spent her afternoon and evening speaking with the rest of the staff in the department. She had found that Murikawa-sensei was the most normal of the three physicians. He was careful with his word, seemed wise beyond his years, and donned a constant smile. However, it was only later that she'd found that underneath the calm veneer and graceful movement, he was quite severely depressed. Apparently, he'd lost a patient who needed a heart transplant. As it turned out, the patient could find a donor in time and so he ended up dying a painful and needless death. The source of this information? Midou-sensei. He seemed to talk with the right motivation of course. A little touch on the arm, flicking of hair, and some slight interest was all it took to get him talking. You'd think he was almost drunk. Drunk with ecstasy, probably thinking up wild fantasies that would never come true. Boys were just so easy.
Midou-senei seemed to be quite a fun loving person, and other than his odd obsession with womanizing, seemed to be perfectly normal. It was a good thing he talked a lot because otherwise she wouldn't have nearly as much information as she did. Kitagawa-senei was Midori's doctor at the time. It was ironic because she hates children ever since her boy married off to some woman, she didn't approve off. In any case, she was extremely harsh with the child and it was Ryosuke who intervened and threatened to relocate her if she could not deal with her patient professionally. To this day, no one is quite sure if she's a misogynist or hates only children. Whatever the case, she was the place to start.
Tracking down Kitagawa-sensei had not been an easy task. As the drove through Mount Akagi, Yasmine lost track of how fast she was going. She only vaguely remembered passing a yellow car that resembled an FD, only because it too was traveling quite fast. Though she could never really be sure, since she wasn't the expert on cars. She flew through another corner finally hitting the main road and could have almost sworn she saw Ryosuke. Urgh, get out of my head, you PEST! It wasn't enough she had to see him at he fake job, but did he insist on intruding on her peace as well.
Reaching Kitagawa sensei's block she parked her car near some trees, pulled down her black hat over her almost copper hair. Her black pants and turtleneck camouflaged her well, only the outline of her slender body just barely visible. Looking around she saw four cameras. Two on either side of the driveway near the front, and two attached to the house near the roof. The only blind spot was if she's landed from the top. The top….. Yasmine mused pensively. She ran to the neighbor's house and climbed under the needles of the massive pine tree. The needles gave her cover, and made it easy for her to peek out through a window without being discovered. She climbed up and saw into the living room. Finding no one there, she proceeded to the next tree and climbed up once more. After a few more attempts, she managed to locate Kitagawa in a satin slip lounging in her bedroom. Sitting directly across from her were the two other doctors Murikawa and Midou. The three sat for a long time sipping tea. Finally, Midou spoke. It was a shame she couldn't make out anything. Lip reading was out of the question, Yasmine was incapable of such a skill, though now she was considering it a useful tool.
Most suddenly, with the ferocity of a beast, Kitagawa lunged across her room grabbed a file and smashed it into the window. Yasmine shrunk back for fear of being discovered and as she peered through the pine needles, she saw scattered picture of children and some women. One in particular stood out. He was a small child with almost bleach blonde hair that looked so soft and fragile, you could hardly touch it. His deep blue eyes and translucent skin shone out and overpowered the other photos. Of course she didn't miss the red markings on the photo indicating his blood work information. Looking Inching a little closer, Yasmine saw each photo marked with information. She decided that was enough and she'd just have to do some more research later. As she was about the head back down from her rather uncomfortable perch, she saw a small card on the side of the window that hadn't fallen down. The only legible words were Black Crimson. Not spending too much time to dwell on the specifics, she hit the road at a quick run made it to her car and left without a sound.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was nearly 4 in the morning and Ryosuke stood leaning forward on the guardrail in Akagi. This day had been quite the trial for him. First there was the nurse, then there was her flirting with Midou, and finally, to top of his crazy day someone had just beat his brother on the downhill on his home turf! How was that even possible! Keisuke was absolutely devastated. He was worried his brother would have some sort of breakdown and relapse into his old ways. He didn't want that to be his life and the one place Keisuke had always felt secure was this mountain. And now some random driver he'd never seen on the pass managed to pass him and form the sounds of it effortlessly. He was sure the driver was not going to be hidden for long. Racers with that much caliber always surface. The question was when and how. Who was the nutcase behind the wheel? How had he managed to pass Keisuke so quickly.
Even though he was worried, Ryosuke knew this would be an educational experience for Keisuke. The mountain pass was unpredictable and that's what made it exciting. If he knew Keisuke, he'd get out of this depression and come back with a vengence. It would be great for Project D and his brother would excel. Anyhow, that was problem for another day. He still needed to get home, shower, and prepare for tomorrow.
