Chapter 10
" How are the patients? Make sure you get their corresponding blood types as soon as they reach the hospital." Fuko shouted orders to the nurse as she ran from her office to the operating theatres. The corridors were cramped with victims waiting to be tended to, but there were just too many victims and too few doctors. Fuko made her way into the operating room, which was filled with doctors trying to save one patient after another.
" Is this happening in other hospitals too?" Fuko asked as she went to assist a doctor in an operation
" Yes Dr Kirisawa. Other hospitals have called, asking if we are having the same problem." A nurse volunteered the information
" I need more blood." Fuko shouted as she inserted a needle into the patient's vein. He was so drained of blood that she could practically see through his skin. Fuko had to try very hard to keep her concentration and not be too revolted at the state of the patient's physical appearance. Most of the patients were semi conscious; however, it was too risky to put them on anesthetic, as the patient was so drained of blood that the anesthetic might just kill the patient itself. Therefore, every prick, the patient felt the pain ten times more than a normal human being and thus it was hard to treat them when they couldn't stay still because of the pain.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a doctor skunk out of the theatre, almost about to puke. Other doctors were also starting to feel the pinch.
Oh my god. Fuko wondered. When will this ever end?
***************
Tokiya walked down the corridors of the hospital, trying to sense if any vampires were lurking around. So far, he had found none. Briefly, he wondered how the old order was going to deal with this.
Suddenly, Leon, the messenger of the old order appeared before him. Tokiya took a step back as he saw Leon, and his eyes narrowed in apprehension
" What do you want?" He asked Leon
" I have a message from the old order for you. We have wiped out all the vampires in the city. However, Gin has yet to be found. He has managed to form some kind of protective shield so that he escaped from us in the city, at the expense of his followers though. but the old order has traced him to the hospital."
" What." Tokiya turned to run to the operating theatre where he knew Fuko was.
" Wait. There's more. We will not interfere any more in this matter." Leon continued
" What! Why?" Tokiya demanded
" For obvious reasons Tokiya. This is the hospital. A vampire wouldn't be sane here." Leon replied. " The old order has given you the right to destroy Gin. Until he gets out of the hospital, we won't interfere."
Before Tokiya could say anything else, Leon had vanished.
Damn it, Fuko, wait for me. Tokiya thought as he raced down to the operating theatre.
***************
" Dr Kirisawa! There's an emergency!" one of the nurses burst through the doors of the operating room calling frantically for Fuko
" What is it?" Fuko asked calmly
" We found a man, he's lying on the staircase next to the rooftop! He's badly injured, he's got blood all over his face. and he keeps calling your name!"
" What!" Fuko asked, turning around. Her first thought was whether it was Tokiya. " Was he one of the victims brought in?"
" No, that's the funny thing.he."
Fuko didn't wait to hear the last bit as she ran out of the emergency room to the rooftop staircase.
***************
" Where's Fuko!" Tokiya shouted as he pushed open the door to the emergency room.
Everyone inside was startled as they looked at him
" Where is she!" Tokiya asked again.
" . She went to attend to a patient." one nurse stuttered.
" Where."
" Staircase near the rooftop, think he knows her." another nurse replied
Tokiya ran down the corridor as fast as he could. He hoped that he wasn't too late.
*****************
" Fuko!" Tokiya shouted as he pushed opened the door leading to the rooftop.
It was quiet. The entire rooftop was quiet. Tokiya ventured forward, then suddenly, he stopped short as he saw Fuko's body lying in the middle of the rooftop.
" Fuko!" he ran towards her, and bent down. She was unconscious, but she was still alive. Tokiya cradled her gently in his arms and shook her, lightly slapping her face and urging her to wake up. It was then he noticed the wounds on her neck.
Slowly, Fuko's eyes opened, but her vision was blurry.
" Tokiya." she murmured in a weak voice. " Am I ."
" No. Fuko it's going to be all right. hold still." Tokiya urged
" It's no use. She will die.." Gin spoke in front of them. " You will watch your most precious lover die in your arms!!! Hahahahahahaahahahahahahaha."
" How are the patients? Make sure you get their corresponding blood types as soon as they reach the hospital." Fuko shouted orders to the nurse as she ran from her office to the operating theatres.
