BRAIN DAMAGE
A D.N Angel short novel
Chapter 1: Thunder in your ear
Daisuke looked at the new place they were building, wondering what it was. They had started construction on that building some weeks ago, and it looks like it is finally being finished. However, no sign had been posted up anywhere about what it was; no newspaper article, no street sign, no billboard, no nothing. "Daisuke, are you up here again?" said a voice, and then Riku came up through the door, kissing him on the cheek and sitting down next to him. "How come you're so interested in that building, Daisuke?" asked Riku, looking at the building, which was the very exact size of the school, "I don't know; it's just really weird, I mean, I don't even know what's it's bound to be for" said Daisuke, "well, something's bound to come up. I mean, it definitely looks like a hospital to me" said Riku, pointing at a bunch of beds being piled into the building from the street, "ooooh, what if it's a loony asylum… oh, shoot!" said a voice, and then someone was heard going down the stairs, and then… an explosion, the person going down the stairs screamed, Riku screamed and Daisuke felt something hit him with the force of a bullet against the head…
Daisuke opened his eyes, and saw he was alone on the school rooftop. The sun was setting, which meant the school had closed down. So, he went down the stairs and down the hallways. However, there were a lot more doors and the rooms were really small and cramped… this wasn't Azumano High… "Sakura Haven Asylum?" said Daisuke, reading a green sign over an empty counter, "but…" said Daisuke, looking around him, "where is… anyone?" Suddenly, he heard a door open, and then he heard it close. He went down the hallway the noise came from, and heard it again. Then, he noticed a door swaying in the wind, and a green sign next to it read "special cases" and pointed downward… Daisuke went down it, occasionally hearing some noise from down the stairs. Then, he heard a door open and close again, and so he followed it down another path, and found another door swaying in the wind. He went through and into a windowless room, where, on a bed, was laying what he thought was a patient, but he was shocked to see the amazing resemblance: it was Daisuke, laying there, his eyes closed and an enormous scar on his face, like an enormous knife had cut across his face. Suddenly, its eyes propped open, and they stared at him; they were blank except for a pale iris. And then, the Daisuke on the bed raised a hand and beckoned Daisuke toward him, which the standing Daisuke did hesitantly. As soon as he was on the edge of the bed, the Daisuke lying on it reached up and grabbed Daisuke by the throat, and strangled him. Daisuke tried making one let go, but it had a death grip on it… he couldn't breathe… he couldn't breathe…
Daisuke slowly opened his eyes, an enormous pain in his head. His sight was blurry, and he couldn't hear a thing for some reason. He felt warm, and someone was hugging him. As his sense came back, he heard an enormous rabble of sound: chatter, screams for order, crying, excited yelling, and the person hugging was crying all right, and that voice sounded familiar… "Riku, is that you?" he said, but every word made his head spin. Riku gasped, and she looked at Daisuke straight in the eye; her eyes were puffy and red, as though she had been crying for some time. "Oh, Daisuke, you're ok!" Riku cried, and she started kissing him again and again, and then two nurses came up, and they told her to back off for a bit, which she did. As a nurse took her away, giving her a handkerchief, another came up and kneed down next to him, cleaning a wound he couldn't see. "What happened?" asked Daisuke, his head spinning again, "an explosion from next door from a generator. A piece batted you in the head. You just got a scar on the side of your forehead, don't worry" said the nurse, giving Daisuke a look at himself on the mirror: a little cut was over his left eyebrow, which made him sigh in relief… "Oh, and that thief Dark was here for some reason"…
(Ahem, that's the first chapter, ladies and gents. Up next is this:
"The lunatic is on the grass…
The lunatic is on the grass…
Remembering games, and days and days of laughs…
Got to keep them loonies off the path…"
