Psukhikos: Dose 1
"ughhhhh…." Midoriko groaned as she woke up from a very long nap. She looked around, recognizing her surroundings almost immediately. It was her elder brother's office at his store, her favorite place in the world. Although she was only allowed to visit once a month to get her medication used to suppress her powers, she always had enjoyed the short times she was allowed to spend there. She looked up and noticed a young man of about her age sleeping in a chair nearby the couch she was laying on. Hoping not to wake him, she crept out of the office as quietly as she could.
"Ah, so you're awake now, Midoriko!" She jumped and turned around to face her elder brother.
"Shhhhh…. Niisan, the boy in there's sleeping!" She said, placing a finger on her lips. She walked out into the shop, basking in the early morning light. "It's beautiful out here! Are you opening up soon?" She reveled in the peacefulness of the morning, twirling around.
"Yes, Rikuou will be down to open up shop in about half an hour. Do you want breakfast?"
"That would be great! I'll make it; just tell me where the kitchen is!" Kakei smiled, then began to laugh. Midoriko tilted her head, a quizzical look gracing her face. "What's so funny, Niisan? Did I do something weird?"
"Well, I guess this means you haven't been spoiled. What I meant to say was 'Would you like me to take you out for breakfast?'" he said.
"Um, sure, I guess…" Midoriko said, blushing slightly at her own naïveté. To change the subject, she said "Where's Saiga-niisan?"
"Oh, he's still sleeping. He sleeps quite a bit, you know."
"Of course I know, remember my birthday party a few years ago, when you were in college?" she laughed. "He fell asleep while we sang 'Happy Birthday' and then fell face-first into the cake!" Kakei laughed softly.
"Yes, I do remember. But you must admit, it was most likely the most memorable party you've ever had."
"Yo, morning." Kakei and Midoriko turned around to see Rikuou come down the stairs and into the Green Drugstore. "So she's woken up?"
"Good Morning!" Midoriko said brightly. "I'm Kakei Midoriko! You must be Rikuou-san!"
Rikuou was a little dumbstruck by the bright greeting from some girl he didn't even know. After all, he WAS used to Kazahaya's yelling in the morning, rather than some cheerful "good morning" from a Kakei look alike. Meanwhile, the girl, Midoriko, she had said her name was, continued chattering amicably. "Do you want any help opening up, since the other boy is still asleep?"
"Sure."
"OK! Just tell me what to do!"
Rikuou told her how to open the gate barring the entrance to the door and helped her to learn how to stock the shelves. She worked diligently, and about an hour and a half later, Kazahaya woke up. Yawning and rubbing his eyes, he walked sleepily out of Kakei's office. "What time is it?" he asked, a yawn following.
"Nine o'clock." Kakei said.
"Nine o'clock!" Kazahaya exclaimed. He began to freak out. "How could I have slept so late? Where'd that girl go? If she ran away, it could be the end of me!" he went on and on.
"STUPID." Rikuou said. Kazahaya looked at him, arms waving wildly.
"Hey, why'd you call me stupid?" he yelled.
"Moron. She's right here."
"Hi!" Midoriko said brightly. Kazahaya stopped and looked at her.
"You'reyou're" He stuttered.
"Kakei Midoriko, pleased to meet you! What's your name?" Midoriko smiled brightly.
"Um, Kudou Kazahaya. Are you Ok? You were really sick yesterday…" He trailed off.
She waved her hand, dismissing the thought. "Oh, I'm fine. I was sick, but part of it was that I hadn't had my medicine for a few days."
"Speaking of your medicine, Midoriko, you only need to take one pill a day now, rather than two." Kakei said coming up from behind them.
"Really? Why?" She asked, puzzled. "Before I always had to take two…"
"Before you lived with Kaasan. Now you'll be living here, so you only need one pill. Here, it's alright to use your powers. After all, all of us here have them-"
"REALLY?"
"Yes, really. If you ask Kudou-kun and Himura-kun nicely, they might tell you."
"Yay! More people like us! Ne, Ne, Kazahaya-san, Rikuou-san! Will you PLEASE tell me your powers? PLEASE?" she asked excitedly. She looked so excited; Kazahaya couldn't help but agree to tell her.
"I can see memories-"
"COOL!"
"But I'm not finished-"
"It's still cool! I've never met anyone besides Niisan and Tousan who have powers!"
"Really?" Kazahaya looked surprised.
"Mmmm Hmmm."
"Rikuou can break things telekinetically."
"Moron. Who said you could tell her what my power is? And how'd someone as stupid as you learn a word as long as "telekinetically"?" Rikuou said.
"Hey, BOY." A deep voice sounded from behind them all.
"Good Morning, Saiga-niisan!"
"Saiga-san!" Kazahaya said, flustered.
"Hey, Kakei wants you all in his office. He has a "job" for you all."
