Chapter 2: The Kiss of Death

Satoshi's vision blurred as he opened his eyes slowly but it got clearer as soon as it was wide open. Though his head was feeling numb, he came to realize a little about the surroundings. The ceiling is white. This is not school, or his room.

He moved his head around a little to see where he was. Not only the ceiling, but also almost everything was white in the room. The walls, the curtains, and the bedside table… wait, bedside? Satoshi thought while cursing himself for not realizing that he was in bed, which was of course, in white. There was a bouquet of flowers in a black vase on the table. It was made of black marble with a drawer underneath it. At least not all the things here are white.

Satoshi tried to sit up to get a better view of the place he is in. Unfortunately, his abdomen was numb and he even had difficulties his hands. All that he could control freely now are his eyelids, which apparently led to more curses. Then, he noticed a strap of paper with words around his wrist. Azumano General Hospital, Name of Patient: Hiwatari, Satoshi, Room: 632

"Shoot," Satoshi mumbled. "I'm in a bloody hospital." While looking for his glass that turn out to be beside the vase, he caught a migraine. He pressed his head against the pillow and all the flashes of memory rushed into his mind. Him stabbing his abdomen with a knife, threatening that he would commit suicide if Krad wouldn't transform back, him bandaging himself, walking around the corridors in school… and he remembered, the weird feeling, different from when Krad is forcing to come out, dizzy spells after that and the girl, the native girl, her golden eyes, what was her name again? Ta… Ta… Tajoka Wolf!

Tajoka Wolf, Tajoka Wolf… The name kept repeating in his mind. "So, the girl's name is Tajoka Wolf, huh? I hate that name, sounds too creepy for someone like me…" Krad said.

Suddenly, the door opened and broke Satoshi out of his "flashbacks". A nurse who seemed in her middle thirties came in while holding a clipboard to her chest. When she saw Satoshi, she forced a smile and said, " Oh, Mr. Hiwatari, you're awake. The doctor already stitched the wound at your abdomen. It is a good thing you didn't bleed too much when you collapsed to the ground. Good bandaging, your father did it?" She raised her eyebrows and waited for his answer but Satoshi ignored her.

"Oh well," the nurse seemed angered by his response and said in an obviously irritating way. " You better take enough rest for this whole week until you have fully recovered. Until then you might be allowed to check out." Satoshi, though not suppose to, didn't pay much attention to the nurse. Asking him to stay in the hospital for a whole week was like telling him to saw off his right arm.

"Oh ya, there's a friend who wants to see you, but tell him to be quick because visiting hours are almost over." The nurse turned to the door, called out to the "friend", and went out. It was Daisuke. He was carrying his schoolbag, which means that he hadn't got home. As soon as he pushed open the slide door, he rushed into Satoshi's bedside.

"Hiwatari-kun, are you okay?" Daisuke's eyes showed a lot of concern. He seemed to be sweating quite heavily so Satoshi assumed that he ran all the way here.

"I'm fine, thank you. It's all Krad's fault anyway." Satoshi's expression still didn't change, but he was a bit thankful that Daisuke came all the way from school to see him.

"It shocked the whole class when you collapsed on the floor, worse, with your back up. A pool of blood started to appear at your abdomen and the floor was full with your blood. Then, the teacher rushed you to the hospital. Your uniform was stained badly so the teacher took it back to your apartment. We also called your father to come but he just said that you would do fine on your own. Daisuke pulled a chair to sit.

Satoshi kept quiet. He wasn't surprised by his father's reaction, after he changed recently. However, he was thankful that Krad did not take over his body while he passed out. Then, he said, "Sorry about the floor then." He gave a slight smirk.

"At least you can come to school after the stitches are removed." Daisuke sweat drops while smiling.

"No, I'll come to school tomorrow and check out tonight." Satoshi interrupted with a cold tone.

"But why? You have not fully recovered. What if something happen to you?" Daisuke pressed both of his hands on the bed and stood up, slight yelling, letting his kind nature take over him.

"This is none of your concern." Satoshi said while slowly pushed himself and sat up. "Besides, I have something to do." Satoshi closed his eyes for a while and looked to the window, doing one of his daydreams again.

"Well, if you think like that…" Daisuke muttered. He then looks at the clock on the wall and suddenly jumped.

"Ohmigosh! I'm late for lunch! O-kasan will be dead mad at me! I have to go now, see you tomorrow, Hiwatari-kun! Ja-ne!" The red head waved to Satoshi and rushed out of the room, leaving a loud bang at the door.

Starring at the closed door, Satoshi took a long soundless sigh and leaned his head against the wall while closing his eyes. What a day… Yami, I'm sorry…He dozed off for the rest of the afternoon before checking out.

"Satoshi-sama, we've reached school. Are you sure you don't need help with your schoolbag?" His driver looked at him through the front mirror.

"No thanks. I can manage myself." Wearing his schoolbag on his shoulders, he stepped out of the car and walked straight to his classroom, hoping not to stress his abdomen too much.

"When he pushed the slide door, he found no one on the classroom. "Early again, Satoshi-sama." His alter ego said to him.

Satoshi cleared his throat and went to his seat, took out a book and started reading it. About a minute later, the slide door opened but Satoshi ignored it as usual. However, he can hear footsteps that his classmate (whoever he or she was) was pacing to his row, drawing near him and finally stopped in front of him.

Noticing the shadow, he looked up to see who it was that was blocking his light. A sudden pain shot to his chest, causing him to drop his book. Satoshi clutched his shirt, while shivering; he looked properly to see who it was (although he rather knew it already.). A pony-tailed girl was standing right in front of him. Her smile almost covered her golden eyes.

They both stayed still for a moment, looking at each other, expressions entirely different from one another's. Tajoka was smiling sweetly until her dimples were visible. Satoshi, on the other hand, was gazing at her cautious and untrustingly.

Tajoka suddenly changed her expression. It was serious and stern. She lowered her eyebrows making her look like she was frowning, then her mouth stretched a bit into a grin.

Without saying anything, Tajoka bent down a bit, then lift up both of her hands and touched Satoshi's cheeks. Satoshi, who wanted to move it away, realized that he was paralyzed.

Tajoka approached Satoshi, her face getting closer and closer to his. Soon, he could see the structures of Tajoka's eyes clearly and she wasn't stopping. Her sharp nose touched Satoshi's followed by her lips. Their lips connected and Tajoka kissed him.

Instantly, immense heat rushed from his mouth, through his throat and spread to his entire body in high speed. It felt like somebody pumping hot smoke into his mouth.

Then he remembered about what his adoptive father told him about having this sensation. It was, non other than, the Kiss of Death.

Well, Satoshi got his first kiss alright. Thanks for the reviews! And sorry it took so long to update. Hope you liked this chapter, review if you want. Roserin-chan.:p
