Chapter Ten
Rima's Relapse
Hinata was on the verge of a meltdown when she dialed the number of the one person she could trust at a time like this: Senri Shiki. It seemed to take ages before someone picked up, but at last she heard a voice. "Hello?" It was his girlfriend, Rima Touya, most likely drunk.
"Um, hi, is Shiki there?" Hinata said tensely
"And who might this be?" The girl said with a nasty tone in her voice.
"Please, this is an emergency. My fiancée is dying." Hinata yelled, time was of the essence and Rima was not cooperating.
"So what? Listen, hun, lemme tell you a little somethin' about marriage. It is for the cows. I got married once but it ended up in a unsightly divorce. So darlin', dear, you sound like a decent girl, but just because your honey moon happy phase is over, doesn't mean imma gonna allow YOU to put them moves on my Shiki, okay babe?"
The intoxicated Rima seemed to be losing all senses and Hinata was beginning to think about who else she could call but her frantic thoughts about Akatsuki caused her to freeze up. On the other end of the line Rima and a man who was most likely Shiki were arguing. Hinata heard the sounds of something crashing and debated whether or not to put down the phone.
Then a familiar voice came through the phone: Shiki. "Hinata?" he whispered. In the background the girl was yelling obscenities at Shiki, before screaming and possibly collapsing on the floor.
"Shiki! I need your help! Akatsuki collapsed at work and he won't answer his phone and I'm not sure what to do!" Hinata gasped for air, and in sheer panic she waited for his response.
"All right," He said after a moment of hesitation. "I'll be over there in a second, please try to stay calm. Take some deep breaths or something." There was almost a sense of undying compassion in his voice but Hinata was too crazed to notice…
