Hey guys, thank you for the reviews and favorites! I was actually going to hold off on uploading this chapter and make it longer, but then I thought about where I wanted this to head and I realized that it would be too long of a chapter. There will be more and I should have it uploaded by this weekend or early next week. But for now, please enjoy and review. This is in Takano's point of view.
I do not own Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.
It was the hardest thing Takano had ever done. He had left Onodera there in that room after he had made sure to tightly wrap Onodera in his jacket. Ritsu had even moved or stirred in his unconsciousness. It broke Takano's heart. Just before he left, Takano had kissed Ritsu forehead and swore to return with help. After that, he had booked it out of there.
They were in some type of warehouse; the air was so damp that you could feel the mildew attaching to your skin, wrapping you in a cocoon of cold, wet nastiness. Takano shivered. Without his jacket, he was stuck in a light long sleeve shirt. He could feel the moisture in the air soaking through his boots and into his socks, freezing his feet. That's when he smelt it. Seawater, he and Onodera were at the docks.
That's when he spotted the exit. Takano cautiously made his way towards it, looking around for their kidnappers. However, finding no one around, he quickly went to the door and opened it. A gust of wind greeted him. The sky was dark and the water looked stormy. Waves crash over the docks and onto the land. As Takano ran, the waves crashed over him, soaking him further, but still he ran, fueled by the image of Onodera lying there so still.
Takano finally made it out of the warehouse docks area. Takano stopped to look around and get his bearings. "Ahh dammit! Where the hell am I," he thought. As he looked around further he realized the area was vaguely familiar. In high school during the weekends when he didn't want to stay home with his folks, and the library was closed, Takano would go to obscure areas of Tokyo. One weekend he had trolled around the docks. It took a few minutes for him to think of where the nearest hospital was. When he realized where it was, Takano ran with whatever reserves he had left.
It took him forty minutes to reach Tokyo University Hospital. When Takano arrived he ran straight into the ER.
"Please, I need help! He's… he's not going to make it," Takano cried, breathing heavily.
"Fill out these forms and take a seat. Someone will be with you as soon as they can," the receptionist sighed wearily.
"Your… not listening… to me. My friend has been shot… He's unconscious and needs an ambulance!"
"Sir if your friend isn't hear and you didn't call an ambulance then I can't help you. Go get your friend and then we can see what we can do."
"I JUST SPENT AN HOUR RUNNING ALL THE WAY HERE! THE REASON I COULDN'T CALL AN AMBULANCE IS MY PHONE WAS TAKEN BY KIDNAPPERS WHO STILL HAVE MY FRIEND!"
"Okay sir, sure. Let me just make a call and these nice young men will take care of you," the receptionist said with a strained smile while reaching for the phone.
"YOUR NOT LISTENING TO ME!"
"Sir, could you please calm down and come with us," one of the two male nurses said to Takano while his friend grabbed Takano's arm.
"NO, HE'S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT IF HE DOESN'T GET HELP! HE NEEDS HELP! STOP IT, YOUR NOT LISTENING TO ME! WHAT ARE YOU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING," Takano screamed as he felt a needle stab into his back side while a nurse held him down. Everything started to become blurred. He could hear voices calling but he couldn't make out what they were saying. "No," he thought, "Ritsu, I'm sorry. Please just hold on a little while longer. Please don't let my premonition come true." Everything went black then.
Uh oh, I hate it when there's an emergency and people won't listen. That how people end up dying! Hope that doesn't happen here (evil smile). Anywho, again, thank you for the reviews, follows, and favorites. The next chapter will be uploaded soon, but until then please review and tell me what you all think.
