Chapter 7- Soneone's 'Hokemotional'
In the desolate, quiet, and depressing air of the white-walled room, all hope was lost. Ryuko and Aikuro attempted to swiftly aid the wounds of the four immobilized students.
The two had carried the students to the nurse's office to examine their wounds.
Gamagori had taken a thread to the abdomen, and was suffering internal bleeding. Uzu had a life fiber go through his back, hitting a small part of his spinal cord and temporarily paralyzing him. All four of the students were pierced in the arms and legs.
Satsuke had the worst injuries, two fibers had gone through her upper body. One had shattered some ribs and came close to hitting a lung, but the other had hit a kidney (she still had both of them).
Hoka had suffered the most pain though.
Despite his worst injury being a shattered left arm, he also had to cope with the fact that Nonon, the love of his life, had been taken away right in front of him... and he did nothing.
When he could finally force himself to sit up and move around in a wheelchair, he used his able arm to roll himself to the door. He stared down the open door with dead eyes.
"Can I go up and down the hallway? I need to think," asked the dog as continued staring to the open door.
Ryuko and Aikuro broke from their work and looked at him. Ryuko looked to Aikuro. Aikuro nodded, assuring her that it was okay. "Uh, yeah... Sure, I guess you can get out of the room for a walk- No... I mean... er...for a roll."
"Just, don't leave the building. You can get your computer if you want something to do," answered Aikuro.
"Understood," the dog nodded. He rolled out to the empty hallway.
Hoka was pretty far from the nurse's office, so he stopped, ready to turn. But he never turned. Instead he let memories of Nonon flow through him. Images of her giggling face struck through his heart. Tears came to his eyes. He remembered how he just sat there as she was taken away. What was Nui doing to her? Is she in pain from the deadly sewing of the blonde-demon too? How vital are her injuries?
The questions and images of the snake's blood ate through his soul. His free hand raised itself, and subconsciously punched the wall in angst. He instantly snapped back into reality, and looked to the wall he had punched. He had severely dented a locker, probably to the point of which it would be impossible to open.
"What are you trying to do, break your other arm too?" a familiar voice asked.
It was revealed to be Tsumugu as he stepped from the shadows.
The boy with the blue hair continued to look forward without emotion. Tsumugu rolled his eyes as he lit a cigarette. Tsumugu glanced at Hoka's cast.
"Tsk, you council members are useless without your precious three-star uniforms," Tsumugu mocked with disapproval. "I heard the pink chic even went missin'... Pathetic." Tsumugu blew smoke a little too close to the dog.
Hoka snapped. The dog tremendously was able to spin his wheelchair and grip Tsumugu's collar by surprise. The blue haired boy threw Tsumugu against the lockers, leaving a larger dent than before. As Tsumugu laid on the ground in shock, Hoka rolled next to him and pulled the cigarette out of his mouth.
"You know, these are supposed to be bad for you. Looks like we're not the only ones hurting our bodies."
Hoka flicked the cigarette down the hallway, a trail of smoke following the light through the air. The dog reached his hand to help the red-haired figure up. Tsumugu accepted it.
"You know, for a nerd, you sure get strong when your pissed. And don't worry, I won't tell Ryuko or Aikuro youse been rough housin' in your condition."
"Thanks."
After Tsumugu got up, he took the liberty of pushing Hoka back down the hallway to the nurse's office.
*elsewhere*
Nonon laid strapped onto a table in a dark room. There was a single spotlight over her and her stripped body.
Nui approached her with a measuring tape. As Nui began measuring Nonon's measurements, she crooned. "Ever since miss Ryuko's clothes burned themselves up, you guys haven't had life fibers of your own. Don't worry, I'll make you some clothes the doggie will love!"
Nonon's back arched as Nui healed her wounds. "See? All better snake! I heard the doggie call you that when we said 'bye bye'! I don't really like that name... It's too scary... But I don't know what to call you..."
"My name? You don't get to know my real name... No one does."
Oh, the Hokamotions are building so very nicely! I have a nice plan for the next installment that will be sure to be long, so don't expect a chapter until Tuesday.
