No one suspected the doctor
Part 1
I was back for my check up once again ha stupid Hatori. I hadn't been here for about a year and was glad I hadn't. He always found something wrong with me. I sat in the small clean room waiting for the "doctor" to arrive. This was so boring. What could possibly be so important that he couldn't get here right away. I heard the door silently open behind me and turned around. A man with short brown hair stood by the door with his back toward me; He looked rather dignified then he turned around. I held my breath...this wasn't Hatori....was it? He than sat down in his chair and writing something on a paper said.
"So how are we Hiro? Is everything ok? How has your head been? Any colds? flu's?" I was aww struck.
"Okay...yes...sometimes it acts up...No...No..." He spun around in his chair and putting his stethoscope on my chest said
"Breath in..." I tried to but it wouldn't come "Hiro are you ok?...I knew there was something wrong when you didn't have any smart remarks...please breath." I finally let out my held breath and calmed down. That stupid Hatori must have just startled me when he came in. He moved the ridiculously cold piece of metal a few more times then sitting back down said
"I suggest you take this twice a day for a week and then get your mother to call me if your head still bothers you." I starred at him. How did he know I was having problems with my head? I jumped off the small table and throwing on my shirt said
"Fine but it is probably nothing you're just over reacting." I spun around and heading toward the door he began to speak again.
"How is your mother I heard she had a nasty fall the other day...Do you know anything about her fall Hiro.?" I could tell he was suspected of me so I turned around and glaring at him said
"She is fine! And I had nothing to do with her falling! If I had anything to do with it she wouldn't be hurt shed be dead." A cold silence followed my last words and I walked out of the office.
leaning against the wall I held my head..."stupid ass." I heard the door open behind me and spinning around found him standing there.
"If you had anything to do with her fall tell me. Maybe your headaches are caused by guilt. Just admit it."
"NO!...I had nothing to do with it." I felt a rush of heat as I doubled over. My head throbbed and I screamed out. I looked up but all I saw was white then I passed out.
I looked up and found a plain white ceiling. My body ached and sitting up found I was in Hatori's office. My body felt odd...I felt different. I stood and found that it seemed like I was taller. I looked around and noticed his office was different. I sat in a near by seat and heard the door open once more. I looked and there stood Hatori. I felt that odd feeling again yet this time it was stronger. I gulped and watched as his form walked around his desk and sat down.
"I just saw Hiro again...why every time I get near him does he get all angry?" I was confused...Hiro? But I was Hiro. I sat up and moving to his bathroom looked into the mirror. My jaw dropped I...I was...old.
I would say I was about 24. I had short orange hair somewhat like Kyo's. My eyes were the same brown color but they seemed to be narrower and I wore a black silk shirt with white wash jeans. I'd say I was rather healthy my stomach had turned to ab's and my child like chest turned to pecks. I know I probably would have spent longer in there admiring myself if I didn't come back to reality.
"Hiroku what are you doing...?" I heard the name and it rang a bell. I turned back to him and walking back slid my finger down his cheek.
"Who am I...are you real?" He stood up and pushing me down to the couch placed his hand on my forehead.
"I was afraid that fall mite cause you some damage. Do you not remember who I am? Hiroku talk to me what's wrong?" I began to get a little angry and yelled
"Well maybe if you stopped talking for a second I could answer you?" His eyes glazed over with sadness and I actually felt bad. It must have been this body. I found myself lightly stroking his cheek then words leaked out of my mouth. "I'm sorry are you mad at me?" A small smile tugged at his lips and I gasped. He never smiled. I felt this uncontrollable urge to do something fill the pit of my stomach and terror filled me. I couldn't figure out why but for some reason I wanted to get closer to him. I felt him hug me and a smile met my lips. Wait I wasn't supposed to be smiling I hated him. So then why did I like this? I slipped my arms around him and gently tightened my grip. I heard the door open and through him to the floor.
A very cheerful Ayame stood at the door bright eyed and bushy tailed. Could you consider that an he was a snake and so did not have a "Bushy tail." Though I am sure if he had the choice he would change that. Actually I am quite certain if he had the chance he would change his sex but that was beyond the point. The rather annoyingly happy Ayame strode into the office and immediately helped Hatori up.
"Why Ha-kun for what reason were you on the floor. Oh I see did I interrupt something." I saw Hatori's eyes drop to the floor and his small smile turn to a frown.
"Ayame you know better than that I would never do anything so unheard of." I heard the small amount of regret in his voice and would have to say that made me rather disgusted. To think he would have those kind of feelings toward a child. Further more I was a boy. Then I remembered I was no longer a child I was an adult and I guess I was fairly good looking for a guy. But that was beyond the point. The light bulb went off in my head and I spoke rather quietly.
"um...uh...I have to...uh-excuse me." I ran to the wash room and instantly dropped my pants. My jaw dropped once again as I saw IT. I'd have to say it was rather umm...large. A smile met my lips. I was young but I still knew about the one thing that all men bragged about. This all was so weird but what was I supposed to do order the heavens to give my body back....maybe this was just a dream....nono this feels to real to be a dream. I pulled my pants up and walking back out of the washroom rather proud of myself. I stopped before they noticed me and listened. As I heard the two speaking.
"Aya his head has been bothering him."
"So that makes you think that he is the reason for her accident?"
"No its just...I think there is something he is not telling us about..."
"Like what?"
"Did you ever think that he might have pushed her down the stairs..."
"I told you Ha..."
"OUT of self defense?"
"Ha-kun what are you trying to say...that she is?"
"Well doesn't it bother you that she never rejected him and yet she seems to be hardly protective of him at all."
"Well yes that interest me but I...never thought her she is such a sweet women."
"That's the thing that confuses me... but theirs something about the reactions I get from him when I confront him that scare's me."
"Ha-kun I don't want to upset you but the boy hates you...what makes you think that it's not just that he hates being around you." Finally that baka says something that is intelligent.
"It's not that...its...he worried me today...he...I confronted him and he grabbed his head and screamed and then..."
"Ha-kun...what is it..."
"He looked up at me it was as if...his eyes they...had no color...and then he...fainted."
"Has he woken up yet..."
"Not yet..." Those two words scared me...he seemed so...sad. "but when I got back...Hiroku was up I am glad for that." This was all so weird. I walked into the room starring at the floor. My bangs hung low and shadowed my eyes.
"Where is Hiro I would like to see him"
"Oh I didn't mean for you to hear that. Uh...he is in the hospital area down the hall...would you like me to accompany you?" Hatori was never like this around me.
"No...I'm fine." I walked out of the room and down the hall to the small beds. I walked in and there I lay. Machines attached to me and sleeping. This was just creepy I could see me but I was me. this was so confusing. I touched my soft hand than my head began to throb. I kneeled down on the floor and clenched my teeth. Tears began to stream down my face as I clutched the blankets. I screamed out Hatori's name as heat washed over me and everything went white.
I woke up and yet again sat up quickly. I looked down and found my hands were small once more and looking beside my bed found "Hiroku" I jumped and a number of needles slipped out from under my skin. I yelped and looking at my older body lying on the floor I screamed Hatori's name once more. He came barreling down the hall and kneeling beside "Hiroku" picked him up softly and placed him on the bed. He ordered the right medication and leaning over "Hiroku" began to stroke his head and whisper something to him. I couldn't pick out what he said but I was pretty sure I didn't want to know. Some disgusting mushy stuff probably.
I was pushed out of the room reluctantly by a nurse and began to scream Hatori's name. I had no idea why I called that asshole doctors name but I knew I wanted him. I felt a hand on my shoulder and found Hatori above me. He bent down and lightly asked
"What is it Hiro? Would you like to talk to me?" I gave him a duh look and sarcastically said
"No...I was just calling your name for the pure joy of it." He began to stand up and said
"Oh well if you are going to be like that than..." I grabbed his hand and he turned around. I then wrapped my arms around him and crying I hugged him with everything in me.
"I'm sorry...I don't hate you..." I almost hit myself for this. Why was I saying this? I felt his arms wrap around me and then he whispered.
"I know that Hiro..." I felt happiness as I held onto his rather large frame and rubbed my nose in his shoulder. I was so confused I wanted to rip the mans head off but I felt rather attached to him...this wasn't good.
I few hours later I was sitting in the exact spot I had sat in as Hiroku. I really needed to figure out what was happening to me.
"So Hiro do you have any idea why you would be getting these headaches." I wanted to tell him I wanted to tell the truth but I couldn't. I placed my head on his desk and said
"For the fiftieth time NO! I don't know now may I leave. Before hell freezes over and I am to old to make it to the door." He walked around the desk and kneeling down beside me said
"Look I know there is something you are not telling me so just please give it up and tell me." I felt a twinge of something to tell him but I couldn't. I looked at him and looking into his dark eyes said
"NO! There is nothing." I pushed my way passed him and down the hall I was about to leave when I heard a phone ring in Hatori's room and decided to stay and listen in for a bit. I could at least be a snoop I hated being so goody goody. I leaned against the wall and heard.
"No Akito Hiro just left. I think he is going to leave somewhere with his mom. He's healthy I don't think he will need another check up for a few month's. "A small pause occurred after and he hung up the phone. That alone interested me...I knew as well did he that I wasn't good at all and needed a checkup...so then why would he tell Akito that I was fine. Suddenly there was another voice in the room and I strained to here it.
"You know you can't keep Akito from Hiro forever. You don't need to do this."
"I don't need to do anything Ayame but I do it. I must I can't let Hiro go through that even if it means I am in his place for the rest of my life," A long silence followed and then the other spoke again.
"Have you been going in his place Hatori?" Another silence
"Yes...I have. Aya-kun do you know what he said to me...he said, "I don't hate you." Do you understand that...it means he likes me? He would hate me if He had to go through Akito's torture." I heard a loud fumble and then I ran into the room.
"Hatori! Are you...ok..." I saw it Ayame was sprawled out on top of Hatori and he was on the floor. I didn't understand it but I was so angry. How come Hatori let Ayame play with him not that I wanted to play with him it was just that the fact of two grown adults playing sickened me. I spun around but was caught by the wrist. I spun around and kicked him hard in the shin, as I screamed "Don't touch me stop it Mom!"
I instantly shut my mouth then with tears in my eyes ran out of the building. I ran hard through the cold night. My tears were still in my eyes I would not allow them to fall. I guess I should have because before I knew it there was a car in front of me barreling down the street. I shielded my face as if that would suddenly stop the car. I braced myself for the pain...then. BAM! I hit the hard pavement but there was something different. I felt warm. I looked up and found Hatori above me. He had saved me from the car. I quickly wriggled out of his hold and began to run again. I still wasn't ready to see him he had hurt me somehow. I didn't know how but he had. I was about 20 feet away when I heard him call my name.
"Hiro don't run from me. I wont tell anyone what you told me I promise just don't run." My heart felt like it was in a million knots. I turned around and finally letting my tears hit the cold hard pavement I said
"Why does she hate me? I never hated her. Did I do something wrong? I've tried so hard to show her that I am worth her time...but no matter what I do...she still hates me. Hatori does my mom hate me so much that she doesn't want me anymore?" I felt strong arms come around me and I cried even harder.
"I don't know what to say Hiro all I can say is that I will never hate you that is a promise." I wrapped my arms around him and cried hard into his shirt.
He pulled away softly and grabbing my hand walked back to his car. After getting seated and pulling away I spoke to him again.
"Hatori may I...uh ask you...um something." I felt a small blush on my cheeks and tried to brush it away.
"Yes go ahead Hiro...what is it you wish to know"
"Well do you like Hiroku?..."I tensed up at that.
"Well yes he is a very good friend of mine why do you ask?"
"No I meant do you...uh find him...attractive...?"
"Well....yes I do he is fairly attractive..."
"So if he uh wanted to show you he liked you too um...would you be...angry?"
"No...Why do you ask? You act like you are his spy or something." He let out a light laugh after that causing me to smile. He has changed so much in the past few hours I was almost nervous to ask him anything further. "Hiro what do you mean by show me. Do you mean like...Romantically."
"Well yes like if he...hugged you or..." My blush deepened.
"Kissed me? I wouldn't get angry Hiro if he wanted to hug me or kiss me. I wouldn't be angry. I would be rather happy I do indeed like him but am dreadfully afraid what you speak of will never happen I am afraid he thinks of me only as a friend."
"How do you know? He could like you." He took his eyes off the road for a second and raised an eyebrow to me.
"Are you trying to hint to something Hiro...Has he told you something." I blushed terribly and looked out the window.
"No Ha'ri I was just curious." I felt him look at me and looked back at him. "What are you looking at?"
"Nothing...I was just looking." I found that odd but went back to the window.
We finally made it back to the house when as I stepped out of the car my head began to pound. The heat came and then as I fell to my knees I screamed his name. Then there was white again.
I sat up from my bed and pulling the needles out waited for Hatori to carry in my small body. It was scaring me how used to this routine I was becoming. I didn't have to wait long because before I knew it. My small body was on the bed those same needles in him. I looked at Hitori and noticed the alarm in his eyes. He was truly worried about me. I pulled him out of the hospital ward softly and walked him to his office. After entering the small room. He walked to the window and I went to my favorite chair. I sat quietly until I heard his soft voice. It also scared me that I had a favorite chair and that Hatori's voice was now "soft". I felt rather grown up though.
"Hiroku he really cares for me...when I saw him as a child there was something that caught my eye. He is such a bright boy and doesn't even know it. All he hears is negatives from his mother." I was speechless. I thought he always hated me. I'm bright?
"Is there something more you wish to say Hatori?" I was rather calm saying this.
"Hiroku I have always wanted to be closer to that boy...If I took her into court do you think I could...adopt him." My jaw dropped as I noticed the fire burning in his eyes. He was passionate about this. He wanted to adopt me. He took the seat across from me.
"Hatori are you serious?"
"Totally...do you think I can..." I sat up from my seat and walking around his desk kneeled down beside him.
"If that is what you truly want I think you could do it." I saw something change in his eyes and wanted to keep that moment of happiness and joy. I was getting a high from these feelings and couldn't think straight.
To Be continued...in part two...
