Chapter 9
"This is one of the worst hospitals I've seen," Takuto complained loudly as he stepped into the brightly-lit lobby of the hospital. His manager sighed quietly behind and shuffled along reluctantly. Several doctors turned and glared at him, walking away with their heads held high. The nurses, however, whispered excitedly, recognizing the one, handsome face that dominated Japanese media.
"Akimitsu Takuto! I've never seen him up close before!"
"Do you think he'll sign this patient sheet?"
"Stupid! You'll get fired!"
"At least she'll have her autograph," Takuto's gloating look increased and he shot a dazzling smile to the crowd of nurses. They all started whispering more feverently, a few of them practically swooning.
Looking around, Takuto caught sight of the receptionist, who was shooting him a look of admiration. Smirking, he sauntered over there confidently. "Excuse me miss," he said smoothly, his voice deep and resounding. The receptionist blushed and looked down nervously. "I'm looking for a girl called Ashiya Mizuki. She should be registered here." The girl's blush deepened and the corners of her mouth dipped down, clearly displeased.
"I'll be just a moment," she looked up to his eyes and fluttered her eyelashes, smiling seductively. Takuto's smirk grew wider and his manager watched as another young woman fell for his looks. "She's in room 415, upstairs on the second floor, Takuto-kun!" she put great emphasis on the familiar use of name. Takuto smiled his thanks, ignoring the other nurses from the side fuming with complete anger.
He walked with extreme confidence, smiling at all the girls and smirking at the boys. The reaction he received made his spine tingle with utter pleasure. The joy of being in control. He jabbed the lift button, waiting impatiently for it to arrive, before deciding it was far to slow for someone his status and walked up the bright, white stairs. His manager, far duller in comparison, scowled at Takuto and waited for the lift instead.
It wasn't long before they both arrived in front of a wooden door that had 415 engraved in golden numbers. Takuto eased off his smile and relaxed as he opened the door and found only a third of the room was filled. Passing each of the beds as he searched for a certain name, irritation edged into his thoughts as he did not find the name. He soon reached the end of the room, where he finally found 'Ashiya Mizuki' written in neat, block letters. But the bed, however, was empty. In utter frustration, he kicked the bed and watched it shake and creak dangerously. Running his ringed-hand through his hair, he sighed and pondered what to do next.
"Ta-Takuto-san, we really should get going. You're going to miss your photo shoot, and its for the infamous Japanese Streets! Their photographer will not be very happy if you miss it." Takuto glared at the frightened manager, the corner of his mouth twitching when he saw the manager nervously flinch.
"Well then you better get going and find that girl, or you're going to be replaced for not keeping me to my schedule." His casual command was lined with hints of impatience. Soke nodded, turning around and making a face before complying to his demand.
Takuto sat down on Mizuki's bed, scoping through her objects on the top of the drawer. There wasn't much there, clearly implying that she had not stayed here long. A single silver ring adorned with sapphire stones sat slightly farther away from the other daily objects. Curious, he reached for the ring, picking it up and moving his thumb smoothly over the stones, smugly admiring the way the stones shined when they caught the light. He turned it around in his hand, looking at the insides when he suddenly caught sight of certain words inscribed.
'Sano&Mizuki - Arigatou'
He stared at the words, frowning at the pointless meaning. It wasn't even a full sentence. The only part that made any sense at all was the 'Sano&Mizuki', which just indicated the names. Why say 'thank you'?
"Hey! Get your stupid hands off my-" a furious voice stabbed into his ears and he dropped the ring, turning around to yell at the disturbance. The last thing he saw before everything happened was a pair of surprised and annoyed dark-chocolate eyes approaching at a frightening speed.
That was when it all happened.
The cab screeched to a halt right outside the doors of Asumi Public Hospital. Sano turned and looked at Nakatsu, who was already getting off the car.
"Hey, Nakatsu, don't just get off! Pay your half of the share." Nakatsu stopped and turned around slowly, a sheepish expression on his face.
"I didn't bring my wallet."
Sano stared at Nakatsu, his expression displaying his expression of hopelessness.
"I know, I know, I shouldn't have charged out of the stadium with out my wallet. But hey, it's Mizuki we're talking about!" Sano sighed in exasperation as Nakatsu attempted to defend himself. Reaching into his sportsbag, he took out a black leather wallet and took out a 1000 yen bill, giving it to the amused driver.
They both got off and walked towards the double doors, both feeling unpleasantly nervous. Without even looking at the receptionist, Sano tore past the people, ignoring several squeels of excitement. Nakatsu rushed after him, apologizing to the receptionist for their rude behavior. White walls seemed to flash past them and Sano walked through corridors of rooms, searching for the room he had arrived in last night. An unpleasant clenching in his stomach was not unlike the way he felt last night when he brought Mizuki in, except this time, mystery surrounded the sense of fear.
Relief flooded through him as he reached the end of corridor and he turned, swirling into the room. Wincing as his bag slammed against his shoulder, his eyes looked up and saw what had caused the all the fear. But now, it just worsened ten times.
Nakatsu raced after Sano, his practice soccer eyes following the figure with ease. Nonetheless, he couldn't help but notice the tense aura around him, and it was affecting him too. This is ridiculous, he thought, reassuring himself, I'm just being-
Nakatsu turned the corner.
"...Mizuki?!"
