Chapter 10
Bitter Satisfaction Pt. 2
Yuzuki's POV:
I took deep breaths as I stared at the bags on my bed. It was 3 in the morning but I couldn't sleep. I was scared I would have another nightmare. 'Of course I have to dream of that and the next moment we get a case similar to it.' I shook my head, trying to dispel the painful, bloody memories.
I looked at the clock again. 3:30 AM jumped back at me, seemingly mocking me of my lack of sleep. I just walked out of my room and toward the kitchen, grumbling. I started to make my favorite tea, apple and cinnamon, while thinking. 'I really don't want to take this case.' I shook my head and drank my tea, letting its warmth relax me.
'What was up with that dream though?' I thought worriedly. The dream that caused me to go to the SPR office earlier than usual. It brought back painful memories that I had tried so hard to repress. But the worst part was that there was a woman's laughter, as if she was enjoying the pain I was in. 'Is there a connection?' I wondered silently but then shook my head.
"It's impossible." I said to the empty apartment.
Smiling slightly at my own foolishness, I placed my empty cup in the sink and headed back to my room, preparing to once again try to sleep.
10:00 AM
I stared ahead, not bothering to pay attention to the others. I had another nightmare again and I cursed at myself for getting scared of what my mind brought up. 'They're just dreams, they won't hurt you.' Even so, I had come to SPR early again, surprising Lin and Naru. They said nothing, thankfully, and I helped them load the equipment into the van.
Now we were waiting for the tardy brunette again but I was too exhausted to muster up any humor. I just watched emotionlessly as Naru waited impatiently. 15 minutes had passed and finally, we spotted the brunette practically flying to us.
She didn't even bother with giving Naru excuses, opting instead to get as much air into her lungs as possible. I allowed a small smile to form on my face as I patted her back and went inside the back of the van.
"Hurry up, Mai. You've already wasted enough time." I heard Naru say outside, an outburst of protests following his statement.
It would take two hours to get to Makoto-san's hotel and I decided to try and get more sleep. I prayed that it wouldn't be riddled with nightmares. My last thought before I drifted away was, 'What God has ever listened to my prayers before?'
Lin's POV:
I was trying to concentrate on driving but I couldn't help letting my gaze drift to Yuzuki, who was fidgeting in the back. She had a small frown on her face and her eyes flitted rapidly behind their covers. 'Today was the second time she came to office early in the morning looking scared.' I returned my eyes to the road but my mind remained on the sleeping girl.
Mai was bickering with Noll again, something about being bored, but I ignored both of them. I was becoming increasingly worried for Yuzuki and I was determined to figure out what was wrong…
2 hours later...
I sighed as Makoto-san's hotel came to view, glad that soon I'll be able to get out of the van and stretch. I parked in the hotel's empty parking lot and took a quick glance of the area. The hotel looked fancy and off to the left there was a forest. A small shudder went down my spine. One of my shiki, the most recent, wrapped around my wrist in worry. I murmured comfortingly to it in Chinese and got out of the van. Takigawa-san's car parked next to ours and I watched its occupants step out. Matsuzaki-san had a troubled look on her face but before I could ask her what was wrong, a strangled cry ripped through the air.
I raced to the back, pushing Noll and Mai away. Yuzuki was struggling against some unseen force, much like yesterday, and tears were pouring out of her eyes. I grabbed her and held her close, hoping to make her stop.
At first, she only got worse. She screamed and fought against me but I held her tighter. I saw her screams starting to attract Makoto-san and his family but I didn't care.
"Yuzuki!" I shouted, shaking her. She screamed out louder.
"Let go of me!" she screamed, still dreaming. Fear clutched at my heart and I held her closer.
"Love, please." I begged quietly in her ear in Chinese.
It seemed to have work. Her whimpers slowly ceased and her eyes opened. Her beautiful blue-gray eyes met mine and they watered again.
"Koujo-kun!" Yuzuki cried out, clutching the front of my shirt and sobbing into my chest.
I frowned sadly down at her and kept her in my arms. Makoto-san looked at us worriedly but quickly led us to the rooms, Yuzuki still sobbing her heart out. The case has barely begun and I already knew it would be bad..
