A Lost Love

Chapter 6

Author's Note: It's been over a year since I've updated this story, so I'm sorry that I made you all wait!I've looked over the previous chapters (just as review) but I feel that the "POV" format doesn't work much for me anymore- so I hope you'll like this new format! Without further ado, here's the next installment of the story~

"You know that intern?"

"That oddball, right?"

"Yeah, him."

"He's so scary- what's with that huge scar on his face?"

"No one would want to be treated by him!"

Megumi frowned as she overheard the nearby conversation. While it was true that Hazama's scars and cold demeanor made people uneasy, he had a lot of good qualities too! She scanned the hallway.

"I hope he didn't hear them- It's not right that people think of him in this way!" She murmured. "Why do they judge by looks only when the inside is so much more different?"

They just haven't looked under that stony mask, that's all.

"I know he's a good person! I know it!"

Encapsulated in her own world, she only just noticed other medical staff and peers staring strangely at her.
Realizing she was louder than she thought, Megumi embarrassedly walked away.

"Wonder what that's all about." Akira placed one elbow on Hazama's shoulder. "You know her, Kuro'o?"

He grinned expectantly.

"I don't."

"Aw, that's a shame." He chuckled.

Kuro'o tilted his head, questioning.

"What?"

"You two weirdos would go well together." He smiled cheekily and started poking his friend's cheek.

"I would prefer not to be called that, Akira." He brushed the poking finger away.

"Seriously though, I think she was talking about you."

"Hah?"

"Y'know, she was just listening in on the two ladies' having a conversation about you. Something about you being an 'oddball' and being 'scary' all because of that nasty scar on your face." His finger returned to Hazama's face, tracing along the jagged scar. "Coincidence?"

"It's not good to butt into other people's business, Akira." He mumbled. "Now stop messing with my face."

"What did happen with your face? Whoever did your operation did a terrible job."

"Don't talk about Doctor Honma like that!" He clenched his fist and brought it up to Akira's face. "He did all he could, and saved my life. Now shut up."

He turned and walked away, leaving a smug Akira behind.

"So she was talking about you, Hazama..."

Author's Note: AHHHH AKIRA'S ON TO THEM ahahaha. Short chapter this time guys, since most of the things in the manga aren't very long. I'll try and beef it up next time : Also, please comment on this new format! Did you like it? Or did you not? It was a bit of an experiment for me too, so I need all the feedback I can get!

To those of you who still read this after a year, thank you for all your support!
