Meeting You
Chapter 25: Depression
By: Me!
WEEEEE! Tons of reviews and yep, they finally kissed! Celebration time come on! It's time to celebrate! WOO HOO! Can anyone help me plan the wedding? LOL! Just joking…
-Nami's Pov
I heard a faint beeping coming from the side of me.
'Beep' 'Beep' 'Beep'
UGH! It's getting louder! God…I feel like someone threw me down a well 1000 feet deep and I just crashed into the bottom.
I tried to open my eyelids but they were extremely heavy.
"Stupid things." I thought absently as I forced them open.
The first thing I was greeted with was a piercing white light.
Normal Pov-
Kai had carried Nami to the Bladebreakers and told them that they really needed to get her to the hospital.
So now they had been waiting for over 3 days for her to wake up. Everyone was staring anxiously at her small attempted movement.
Suddenly Nami's eyes shot open.
"She's awake!" a voice exclaimed.
Nami couldn't make out who it was at the moment because she was too busy trying to get adjusted to the light while figuring out where she was.
"Dude! You're awake! We thought you were going to stay asleep for ever!" Tyson's voice cut in.
"Where the hell am I?" Nami croaked. Her throat felt like sandpaper.
"You're in the hospital. You were out of it for three days! We've been waiting for you to get up." Ray said softly.
"How do you feel?" Hilary asked.
"Peachy…just peachy." Nami muttered dryly causing Tyson and Max to snicker.
"That's Nami alright." Tyson, Max and Ray said simultaneously.
"What happened?" Nami muttered while Max handed her a cup of water which she gratefully accepted.
Well…unfortunately we have no idea why the nurses and doctors took so long in examining you and taking care of you. All we know is that Kai carried you all the way here just to get you to the hospital after you collapsed." Ray said.
Suddenly Nami choked, causing her heart beat to rise an alarming amount. She had remembered what happened before she had passed out.
She coughed and as her cheeks heated up.
"Whoa! Chill out!" Ray said as she slapped Nami on the back.
"Where is he?" Nami asked quietly as the amount of heat in her cheeks intensified.
"He's asleep in the lobby, he had been up 3 nights in a row to make sure you woke up which reminds me…he's gonna have my blood if I don't wake him up now!" Tyson said before scrambling for the lobby.
"He agreed to sleep if we woke him up when you regained consciousness." Ray muttered.
Nami, who had just recently been propped up on the pillows, had lied back down with a sigh.
Suddenly Tyson walked into the room muttering under his breath which sounded like "And people say that I'm hard to wake up."
Kai walked in to the room looking horribly exhausted.
"Dude, you look like you woke up in hell." Max said.
Kai didn't seem too pleased about the comment when he noticed a pair of tired silver eyes staring back at him.
"Have to say he's right." Nami muttered quietly.
Kai's hair was all over the place, his clothes were rumpled up and hung on to him, and his own eyes looked half asleep as his eyelids drooped drearily over his beautiful auburn orbs.
"You aren't an angel yourself." Kai sneered.
"Oh yeah…pft, on with the sarcasm war again eh, Hiwatari?" Nami snorted.
Kai looked utterly shocked as his eyes widened at the mention of his surname.
"Why did you…how are you feeling?" He spluttered. (Choking manner)
"Fine…" Nami whispered before rolling over under the sheets to face the window.
"Is something going on that we don't know about?" Ray asked, confused, as he pointed at Nami then at Kai.
"Nothing." Kai said quietly.
"Are you sure cause…" Ray started.
"Oh, Ms. Kahaku, you're awake eh?" Dr. Ari said.
"My name is Nami…not Ms. Kahaku. No offence but…who the hell are you!" Nami asked.
"Name's Dr. Miyazuki, or you can call me Dr. Ari." Dr. Ari said with an amused expression at Nami's negativity towards her.
"Okay…" Nami muttered slowly, "Another one of the happy-go-lucky whacked doctors and I'm in for death in a matter of days."
Dr. Ari prodded Kai in the shoulder which caused him to scowl.
"I now see why you like her…she's as moody as you." the doctor muttered low enough for only Kai to hear.
"Ha ha ha…" Kai said dryly.
"My point proven." Dr. Ari said aloud.
"That's my quote, lady." Nami said with a scowl.
"I thought it was 'whatever' according to Hilary." Dr. Ari said.
"Whatever." Nami muttered before crossing her arms and proceeded to stare out the window.
"Oh excellent comeback." Dr. Ari said mockingly.
"I don't need to hear this from a weird hospital lady whom might I suggest, she visit the hot scary place underground…" Nami said before she swung her feet over the side of the bed and started to stand up when she winced horribly and sat back down.
"Teenagers." Dr. Ari muttered.
"Oh excellent comeback." Nami said in a mock high pitched voice causing the boys to whoop in laughter excepting Kai who was smirking.
"Hilarious, by the way I came here just to make sure your wounds were healing and I had to come notify you about them." Dr. Ari said.
"Well, get on with it, lady, I don't have time to lie on my behind all day." Nami muttered.
"You seem to be healing perfectly considering the amount of insults that comes out of your mouth…" Dr. Ari started.
"Burn!" Tyson interrupted.
"Shut up!" Nami muttered as she threw her pillow at him, hitting him square in the face.
"You have many cuts and severe bruises that look like they came mostly from weapons…" Dr. Ari started again.
"As if I didn't know that." Nami muttered.
"3 broken ribs, 1 fractured ankle, 1 badly twisted wrist, cuts on the wrist, a scar on the scalp, slit neck, and of course a severe lack of blood." Dr. Ari said as she shut her binder.
"So basically I've been to hell and back…I know…I feel like I've been run over by a truck." Nami growled.
"Safe to say that you won't be going anywhere but bed for awhile." Dr. Ari said.
"Figures…" Nami sighed.
"Oh, Nami we're going back to Japan today…the rest of the tournament is going to take place there." Tyson said.
Before Dr. Ari could protest Nami cut it, "I'll be fine…"
"Wait…there's also another…problem. A major one. You might need to sit down for this one." Dr. Ari said quietly.
Kai closed his eyes as he felt the atmosphere around him became tense.
"There was a matter of…" Dr. Ari started.
"Well?" Ray asked seriously.
"Rape…" Dr. Ari whispered.
Nami's eyes widened comically as well as the rest of them apart from Kai.
"RAPE!" Hilary shrieked hysterically before she threw her arms around Nami's shoulders hoping to comfort the older girl.
(A/n: NOT THAT WAY! Geez…society is going crazy!)
"Don't touch me." Nami said in monotone as she shoved Hilary's arms off.
"You see…we took X-rays and did the ultra sound to see if anything…happened as result…well good news is nothing...did happen. But that doesn't mean there aren't any problems. Small chance of AIDS but highly doubt full of that, but I know that you won't be very comfortable with the case. You can sue if you wish. I know that you might still be trying to digest this information, it happens. I've had many cases with girls…" Dr. Ari started.
"I don't want comfort or pity. The boy who was responsible had tried to do this before. Look, I just want to leave…please…I just want to leave this place." Nami whispered before wrapping her arms around her knees and pulling them towards her as she looked out the window, her back to everyone else.
As soon as they had taken off from the airport Nami had fallen asleep, but she had insisted that someone other than Kai sat next to her. She was afraid…
Ray sighed heavily, looking over at the lavender haired spitfire who was asleep facing the window.
"What's going on between those two?" Ray thought while turning his gaze over to Kai who was staring out the window with a blank look.
Nami took her bag and walked off with a tired sullen look. They had finally arrived in Japan. She had been awoken well actually…thrown out of her seat when the plane had landed with tremendous bumps in order to pilot into the gate.
Although no one could tell she was fighting with herself.
/- But you can't avoid him!-/
/-Yes I can…I mean, how am I supposed to know that he meant it?-/
/-It was all in the kiss, you should've known how!-/
/-But what if he hurts me? What if he was just trying to play me? What if he's disgusted because I kissed him back? What if he knows I like him and tried to take advantage of that? What if.…-/
/-Geez will you calm down? What if he actually has feelings for you? I mean, think about it…you've known him for a long time don't you think he would've tried to pull a move earlier?-/
/-But…I'm still afraid…-/
/-You're scared of Kai? Oh come on! You have feelings for him and he has feelings for you! How hard is that to comprehend?-/
/- It is hard…I just don't want to think about it. I don't know who to trust anymore…-/
"Yo, Nami! You zoned out on us, you okay?" Tyson asked.
"I'm fine…I just need sleep." Nami muttered.
Everyone was outside doing something while Nami did some rearrangements to the room they were all sleeping in.
Nami dragged her futon away from everyone else's and pushed it against the wall and threw her duffel bag in to a corner next to her small mattress.
It was a nice afternoon and the sun was shinning but the weather was HOT comparing to Russia. It felt like summer vacation.
Nami sighed before collapsing on the futon just to get a little break. It was too hot to pull up the covers.
The cloth felt cool against her skin comparing to the heat outside.
She stared at the shiny wooden walls as if trying to find her answers there but instead her eyes closed as she slowly drifted in to sleep.
"Nami?"
"Leave me alone." Nami whispered as she put a pillow on top of her head.
"Nami? Wake up…"
"Why?" Nami asked.
"Wake up…come eat."
"I'm not hungry." Nami said sharply.
"You have to eat…Dr. Ari's orders that you eat before you take your pain killers."
"To hell with pain killers NOW LEAVE ME ALONE!" Nami snarled as she shot up to be held on the shoulders by a pair of firm hands. She stared up in to a pair of crimson eyes.
"I want you to eat…your wounds need to heal." Kai whispered.
Nami stared up at him wordlessly before shutting her eyes and reaching up to her shoulders to pull his hands off.
"I'm coming…" she muttered before gently shoving his hands away.
Nami got up a bit dazed. The sky had become black and the moon was hovering behind dusty gray clouds. Nami stopped to admire them for a moment before walking to the main room where they ate.
She silently sat down and took a bowl and filled it less than halfway with fried rice before taking a pair of chopsticks and sitting down on a cushion next to Hilary.
Hilary gave Nami a worried look. Nami ignored it as she plucked up the rice absentmindedly.
"You know I'm not really hungry." Nami muttered.
"Yes but you have to. Your energy needs to be replenished before you can take the pills." Kai said quietly.
Nami was unfazed by the comment, "Pills Smills, don't need em'."
"You're not going to get better without them." Kai muttered.
"So? It's not like you would've taken them if you were beaten up." Nami snapped.
Kai scowled.
"You don't really care do you? You don't care about how worried we are; you don't care about anything that has happened and what risk we took to get you!" Kai hissed.
"You know what? Maybe you should've left me there to rot and maybe you shouldn't have done what you did once we got out because it appears to me that you didn't mean it!" Nami snarled before slamming her bowl down on the table and kicking the pillow she had been sitting on before running out the door.
Kai looked slightly hurt at the last comment.
"Kai? Did something happen that we don't know about because it might help." Ray said seriously.
"Nothing happened." Kai snapped before he also got up and went in the opposite direction of where Nami went.
Everyone except Ray exchanged uneasy glances.
"Ray? Do you know something?" Hilary asked.
"Yes…I do. They obviously have more feelings for each other than it appears." Ray said as he entwined both his hands together and setting them on the table in a calm manner.
Nami's POV-
"Bastard…he's just like all the other boys…thinking of nothing else but women, money, and power." I muttered bitterly. I had been walking to the park the whole time thinking about HIM…
I stared up at the large ivory moon in the sky which was clearly visible without all the lights and buildings…
"If he hadn't started that stupid subject then maybe I wouldn't have retorted. The stupid moronic idiot…" I continued.
Every single time he comes in to the room I keep thinking about rape and the kiss…
He always never shuts up…for a moody person who broods all the time he opens his mouth only to say something stupid or something to irritate someone just for the sake of hell.
Why did he do it? Why did he kiss me?
"I WISH WE NEVER MET, KAI! I DON'T WANT TO FEEL THIS WAY!" I yelled.
Only an echo was my response. I felt tears prick the corner of my eyes…they burned.
Kai's POV-
I scowled while shoving my hands in to my pockets.
I wasn't even paying attention to where exactly I was going.
That brat…why does she always have this freaky effect on me!
It's like poison…she gets in to you and then it becomes a part of you, numbing every part of your body.
It wasn't my fault! She kissed me back…
Nami's POV-
I think a couple of hours had passed while I had walked around the park and it was getting cold and the wind stung. I wandered back in to the dojo careful not to wake anyone. I looked over at a clock on the wall.
1 am…
Wow…time flies when you're having fun…Isn't sarcasm a great thing?
Suddenly I felt my stomach growl. Heh...maybe I should've eaten a little bit.
I walked to the kitchen and headed straight for the freezer.
My hand closed over the tub of ice cream.
"No better cure for depression." I muttered to myself as I closed the door with the back of my foot, before grabbing a spoon.
I plopped down on the smallest couch in front of the TV and turned it on, muting the sound. I stuck the spoon in the open container and helped myself, ignoring the fact that no one else would be able to eat it.
Normal POV1 hours later.
Nami was lying on the couch with a half empty container of ice cream staring with a bored expression at the TV screen.
"What are you doing?" a voice cut in…
tbc…
I hope you enjoyed it…even though it was a bit over-dramatic and stupid…
