Chapter 2
Hisoka snapped awake rather startled and scared. Almost forgetting where he was he bolted up in his bed and looked around the now pitch dark room. It was already nighttime and he rubbed his eyes fiercely trying to get them to adjust to the darkness. He was breathing heavily, his head was pounding and a sweat had formed over his body.
There was something else that had disturbed his sleep though. He heard a rapid knocking at his door. He groggily stood up from the bed and stumbled towards the doorway.
"I'm coming…" He muttered in an annoyed voice.
He opened the door and squinted since the brightness from the hallway was blinding. But he could make out the familiar figure that stood before him. That stupid look could never be mistaken.
"Hey, Hisoka-san. I've been knocking for the past 5 minutes, I thought you might have went out to look around but I decided to keep knocking thinking that you were asleep." He stopped and blinked at the boy. "Oh sorry you were sleeping weren't you?"
Hisoka rubbed his forehead. "Yes, I was." He tried not to sound angry but he couldn't help himself. "Is there something you want?"
Glenn stared at the now paled boy and with his personality it was completely obvious what he was going to say. "Hisoka-san are you ok? You don't look so good. Are you sick?" Glenn questioned sounding concerned.
Hisoka frowned and nearly glared at Glenn. "I'm fine. I asked you if there was something you wanted and if not I would like it if you left me alone." He stated angrily. Hisoka was about to shut the door on him but Glenn wedged his foot in the opening.
"Maybe you should go see the doctor! You don't look well and without a roommate you'll be in trouble if you get worse!" Glenn forced the door open and knocked the boy to the floor with ease.
Hisoka was getting sick of this. He wanted to scream and beat Glenn to a pulp but right now he sat to the floor feeling something creeping up his throat and his nausea returning. Everything was spinning. His body ached and muscles burned like that had been set aflame from the inside.
Glenn rushed over to the weakened boy and knelt down next to him with a concerned look. "Hey, hey! Are you ok?" His voice seemed to echo into Hisoka's head. It was almost deafening. "Hisoka-san!"
Hisoka could feel his body slump to the floor in exhaustion. His breathing had begun to become irregular and he could feel the cold sweat pouring down his neck. This wasn't good. He grit his teeth trying to snap himself out of it and get this boy out of his room. Hisoka thought nothing could get any worse but Glenn reached down swiftly and placed a hand over the cold, pale forehead which caused Hisoka's condition to worsen since the emotion Glenn was emitting became more than he could handle.
Hisoka gasped and everything around him seemed to go black and his consciousness slowly ebbing away from him. He didn't want it to come down to something like this. He couldn't do a thing about it. The one thing he wanted to keep hidden was his ability. He knew Glenn wouldn't understand exactly what was wrong with him but he just didn't want to cause a commotion.
He didn't want anyone to feel concern for him. He feared and disliked people treating him like a friend when that was not what he wanted. He didn't want a friend. He didn't want concern, compassion, and he definitely did not want love. He was denied it all his life why would he want to accept it.
He knew that concern, compassion and love came hand in hand with anger, distrust and fear. He didn't want to experience or relive the pain of having others push him around like a doll.
He wanted to keep his problems to himself. He wanted to wallow in his own despair. He knew there were reasons why people hated him.
The people of the world rejected him so in return he would reject them. He had been kicked around long enough to let any more people into his life. Then again he didn't know the last time when someone had been the least bit interested in his thoughts and feelings. No one ever thought of him as a human being but as a monster being brought to the world from the devil himself.
They were wrong, he didn't want to be called a monster and he didn't want to be pushed around. He barely got to enjoy anything in life. He was glad that he could learn about the outside world with the books his family had but none of that compared to the real thing.
He knew he could never experience any of these things let alone enjoy a normal life. So why should be bother trying anymore. He was beginning to give up on everything that he had hoped for as a small child.
Seeing the wide blue ocean that was shown and written about in the books. Traveling the world to see new and exciting things. This caused a lot of disappointment to a small child and along with the disappointment came the hatred and sullen attitude.
Yet some things just couldn't be changed.
Slowly his eyes began to flutter open and found himself in a dimly lit room with a white sheet pulled so to block out most of the light that the room had. He could hear low voices in the room as well as silhouettes that the sheet made of two people.
"He'll be fine Tatsumi-san. He just needs to rest."
"That's good to hear. If anything else occurs let me know and we'll get him to a hospital."
"Yes, I will. He had a slight fever but other then that I'm sure it's nothing serious."
"Still. You can't be too sure."
"I'll give him some medicine once he wakes."
"Ok. I'll notify Tsuzuki that his new student may not be able to come to classes."
"Thank you Tatsumi-san."
Hisoka pulled himself up a bit and leaned on his elbows. He watched as the tall figure moved away from the curtain and out of the room. The other figure was sitting in a chair near his bed and reality hit him on what had just happened.
He winced at the returning headache that he had earlier and let out a slight gasp. With that slight movement the curtain opened slightly and the shadowed figure poked his head in. He looked still quite young, most likely the school doctor, he had wavy blonde hair that was tied back in a ponytail as well as round glasses placed on the bridge of his nose as he observed his now awake
"Ah, your awake boy. How do you feel?" He asked taking a few steps closer to the still paled boy.
"I'm fine." He said simply not wanting to talk with anyone at the moment. "I just feel a bit tired that's all." Hisoka pushed some of his dirty blonde bangs from his face and glanced away from the smiling man.
"Here, you should take this medicine. It will help with the fever and you might be able to get some uninterrupted sleep tonight." He handed Hisoka the medicine and not wanting to cause a problem with someone else he took the medicine without complaint.
"Oh you probably don't know but I am Watari Yutaka, I'm the doctor at this school." He smiled at the boy who seemed to look at him with blank eyes. "And your Kurosaki Hisoka right?"
Hisoka nodded and laid down in the most comfortable way he could. "I'm sorry for causing so much trouble."
Watari laughed a bit. "Don't be sorry. You can help it when you get sick. That's why I'm here. Are you normally a type of person to get an illness?" He questioned the young boy with concern.
Hisoka inwardly was grumbling. He didn't want any more concern. He didn't want people to worry about him. He wanted them to leave him alone. He didn't care if he was sick. He didn't care if he died. But as usual the boy shook him head in reply.
"I'm glad to hear that. Even though I love my job a lot I don't want people sick!" Watari sat back down on his chair and leaned back.
"What time is it?" Hisoka asked softly.
Watari turned and looked at the clock hanging on the ceiling. "It's after midnight."
Hisoka sighed and looked at Watari. "You really don't have to stay. You can go to your room and get some sleep."
Hisoka said that only for his own benefit since he just wanted to be alone again. He felt weird with something there hovering over him ever second to check on his health. It just seemed creepy knowing someone else was in the room. His trust wasn't very good.
Watari shook his head. "Sorry boy but I have to watch over you for the night to make sure you don't get any worse. Besides I love the nighttime. It's relaxing and can be very romantic if you set the mood." He laughed slightly and shook his head. "Well anyways. Enough talk you need to sleep."
Hisoka blinked and watched as Watari closed the curtain to the area and plop back down on his chair. He was annoyed and tried to get comfortable in the lumpy bed. He turned on his side away from Watari and closed his eyes slowly.
Why did all these things happen to him?
The room was actually quite cold so Hisoka pulled the blankets securely over his body. Maybe he could get out of his classes tomorrow. As of now he was not ready to confront any others. People just wouldn't leave him be. Yet they were only human and had the natural feelings of concern and love.
The night seemed to drag on. He could hear a faint ticking of a nearby clock. His headache had subsided so he felt more relaxed. His body tangled in the white sheets as he tossed. His thoughts would not let him drift off to sleep as usual.
He knew Watari was still awake he could, every so often, see him move. H didn't have to stay. Hisoka rubbed his tired eyes and looked up at the ceiling through the darkness.
Somewhere in-between that he found himself asleep and warmth was surrounding his body. He squinted finding the morning sunlight pouring in from the window. The curtain around the bed had been pulled back slightly and he didn't see Watari anywhere.
With a yawn Hisoka sat up and looked around some more for the smiling blonde man. He didn't care where he was. Maybe he could sneak out un-noticed and go back to his room. Quickly he found his shoes and pulled them on and went for the door.
"A boy, where are you going before I give the ok?" Watari's voice was cheerful yet concerned. He walked out from the room connected to the sick room and smiled at the boy.
Hisoka turned around sharply and blinked. "I…-."
"How do you feel?" Watari asked the startled boy.
"Better. Thank you." Hisoka said simply.
Watari smiled at him and laughed a bit. "You're free to go. I just want you to remember if you feel any worse to come back and see me."
Hisoka nodded and opened the door and slipped out. He sighed with relief and glanced around the hallway. He then realized he had no idea where he was. Surely it wouldn't be hard to make it back to his room. He hoped.
He wasn't sure what time it was but hopefully he could make it back to his room before a lot of the students were up and about. He didn't need any attention or rather that he didn't want to be stuck around in a crowd.
He walked as quick as he could down the hallway, stopping periodically to look for any familiar place. This whole school seemed to look the same every which way he went.
He suddenly felt his body collide with another. He gasped as the sudden surge of strong emotion ran through his mind and his body hit the floor. His whole body and mind was jolted. He didn't look up but could only hear the apologies that the other pleaded.
"Waaah, I'm so sorry! Are you ok?"
Papers were scattered around him. He began to collect himself mentally and grabbed for the papers.
"I- I'm fine." Hisoka stuttered still in slight shock. He gathered the rest of the papers and began to lift himself up from off the floor. "Here." He then looked up into beautiful amethyst eyes. He felt his breath stop and his heart pound.
"H-hey thanks!" The amethyst-eyed man exclaimed nervously. "I wasn't watching where I was going-. Hey are you new here?" He looked down at the unfamiliar face.
Hisoka couldn't speak he nodded slowly and turned away so not to embarrass himself by staring.
"I see! Well – um… sorry again about that!" He exclaimed. "I'm kind of late, again, so I have to go! Well see you!" The man ran past Hisoka franticly.
Hisoka watched and blinked at him and sighed. "Whoever he was … seems to be quite a baffled person…but his eyes were so beautiful." Hisoka shook his head. "What am I thinking? Stupid thoughts…" He muttered and looked down.
"I care for no one…"
