The Bloodstained Diary

A/N: Wow, I didn't think I'd get any reviews for this. I'm trying to write some of my old stories and writing new ones as well. Since, my creative juices are flowing. So, I'm going to take advantage of them while the tank is still full. (If you know what I mean.) Here's the 2nd chapter. Sorry for the wait college keeps me busy. (I made some adjustments to this to fix some errors. So it's fixed. I'll fix the first one too, as well. Don't expect more errors from me..)

Diary Entry #2

ONE YEAR AGO

My head…

Gawd, does it ever hurt…it feels like a freight train crashed into my cranium…

Where am I?

'Urgh…'

'It looks like she's regaining consciousness now…'

She could hear the shifting of a body moving around close to her. Her body felt like it was suspended in air for the moment, but she could feel her back pressed against the top of a table. Her eyes opening quickly, yet they quickly closed at the blinding light that hit them. A low groan made, as she shifted on her back before attempting to open her eyes again, but slowly this time. Before being greeted with the white light again, she was greeted by two shadowy figures hovering over her. There were too many things going through her mind all at once, as she couldn't even think straight. The presence of the shadowy figures felt like death has come to take her soul from her body now.

"A…am I dead?"

The response she got to her question was nothing, but a mere laugh from one of the figures, before the bright light behind them slowly started to pull to one side of them. Her eyes were spared of the light for now, as they began to focus on the blurry figures. She began to make out the shapes of the figures.

"You are anything, but dead miss. Though, you could have been before hand. We weren't expecting you to come to so early. So, how are you feeling?" From what Yuffie could make out, was face before the whole picture was showing clearly. A young man, who looks to be in his 20's, was hovering over her, as he took two of his fingers and opened one of her eyes widely to check her pupil. The man's hair was fairly long as it came less than one inch above his shoulders and was a pale blonde color; actually it looked more of a white color really. His eyes were that of a deep green pigment, that held a familiar similarity of that of someone she knew sometime ago. There was this comforting sincerity you could feel from them, yet right now she was scared out of her wits, since she felt like she was in a doctors' office and if there was anything on her list of things she hated, it was doctors. Especially, the ones in her hometown; their method of medicine was anything, but torture to her. She noticed his attire, a white coat he wore was covering over his dark attire underneath, yet it was open.

"Rumiko, I've informed the doctor already." What she assumed to be his female companion, the 'nurse, she was able to glance from the corner of her eye, as she could see that the woman was also dressed in a white coat, as well. She could catch a glance of the black skirt she wore and the red shirt she wore underneath it. The woman's long fiery red hair was pulled back behind her, as it was braided down to her backside, as it stopped just above her hip.

"He should be here any second and--"

"H-hey, does one of you two want to tell me where I am or like what's going on?" It took Yuffie awhile to get the words out, as she was growing impatient for a answer, before she knocked Rumiko's hand away; well she assumed that was his name from what the woman had called him.

"That's really none of your concern little girl." The woman said, as she didn't bother making eye contact with her, as she looked at her male companion.

"Like hell it is! I have a right to know where the hell I am you old hag!"

This seem to get the woman's attention, but not in a way that was pleasing. Her face showing much anger towards Yuffie and her 'hag' comment, as it seem to strike home. Rumiko seem to almost chuckle slightly, as this girl was starting to get the best of her.

"Why you little brat, how dare you be--"

"That's enough Nessa…and if you want to know where you are just take a look around."

Nessa looked at him, before holding her silence for the moment, though she folded her arms across her chest in annoyance. Yuffie slowly sat herself up, her body feeling a little weak as she did. Her eyes began to dart across the room, as she was looking around at her surroundings. The room was a little confined, as she was sitting on the long table in the room. The walls seem to be nothing but white, as this made her feel uneasy, as she was more use to the doctor back in Wutai, well more of a witch doctor actually. She didn't trust any other doctor besides the crazy one she had to deal with back there. She noticed a cart next to the table she was sitting on with scalpels, scissors, and tweezers resting on top of a white cloth. Also, the sight of red stained on some of the instruments and the cloth caught her eye; blood. A shiver ran up her spine; not sure of what or who those were used on.

"Well, you could say that you're in an infirmary miss--"

"Quit the formalities already will ya? My name is Yuffie." She snapped at him, as she tried to pull her eyes away from the sharp pointy items on the tray. Rumiko noticed her nervous look, as she glanced away from the tray lying next to the table on the cart.

"Alright then, Miss Yuffie..." He said, yet she still didn't like the miss part still. It reminded her too much of being at home. That's always how Gorky would address her all the time…and Chevok, and Stanvi as well. She shook her head, as she didn't want to be reminded of Wutai and her father right now. She listened to the rest of what Rumiko was saying. "Do not worry about those instruments there. They were merely tools to help you when you were severely wounded."

"Wounded? But how-argh…!" Her arms quickly came down around her stomach, where pain began to quickly surge through it, as she didn't notice before that she had been injured. Her hands went to tug her shirt up some, as she noticed bandages wrapped around her torso pretty tightly. Bloodstains were evident on the white bandages, as she studied them. The way the bandages were wrapped was as if there was some huge gaping gash made underneath.

"W-what the hell happened…?" She nearly stuttered, as she winced slightly at the pain swirling through her abdomen.

"Well you see…" Rumiko began, but he was shortly cut off.

"I can answer that."

"Oh professor, I see you're finally here." Nessa said, as she and Rumiko turned around to face the only door that was evident in the room. Yuffie lifted her head, at the sound of the new person that had made their sudden presence. She studied the man that was at the door; he looked like he was in his thirties or something, but when in actuality he was probably sixty-something. He had long black hair that was pulled back into a ponytail and wore a pair of specs that lay on top of his nose; it made him seem like a strong intellectual type or in Yuffie's words a smart ass. To top it off, he wore a white coat, it was similar to what Nessa and Rumiko wore, but for some reason he looked anything more than just some weird doctor.

"Is this quack supposed to be the doctor or something?"

"Hold your tongue girl! Don't talk to the professor in such a manner." Nessa said, with a slight hiss coming from her lips as she looked over at Yuffie who just scowled back at her in the same manner.y vb

"It's quite all right. A child of her magnitude doesn't really know of the full extent of who she's talking to." The professor said, as he chuckled a little before causing Yuffie to snap at him.

"I'm not a child you dumb quack! I have a name. It is Yuffie, Yuffie! Y-U-F-F-I-E exclamation point! Yuffie Kisaragi! Get it?"

"Professor Hojo would you like the full report on the girl now?" Rumiko asked, as he waved a hand towards Nessa who was getting a little riled up due to Yuffie's words directed towards Professor Hojo.

"Of course I do, what kind of imprudent question is that?" He said, before looking back at the young woman sitting on the table looking back at him as he raised a brow. "Yuffie Kisaragi? You mean Kisaragi as in you're the daughter of Lord Godo Kisaragi?"

"Yeah, duh, who else? Don't think you know any other kind of Kisaragi." She said, with sarcasm dripping from her words. Her mind was starting to process his name. Hojo. She could have swore she had heard the name somewhere before, but she never seen him before though. So, how could she really know who he was?

"Interesting…" He said, as he began to eye her with some sort of interest now. This was making Yuffie feel a bit uneasy on how he was looking at her. Right now being eyed by the old pervert Don Corneo was sounding pretty good to her right now.

Eww, no, I take that back. Both are just as bad.

She shook her head at the thought.

"She was found lying half dead in the marshes of Midgar, which is 25 miles from Kalm and 40 from Midgar itself. Upon further inspection we found that she had been severely attacked by the Midgar Zolem or in other words bitten really. There was over 200cc of venom injected into her bloodstream, we were surprised to see that she hadn't died from such a bite and being exposed to so much venom…" He said, as he stopped for the moment. Yuffie was visibly shocked at the information she was getting. How the hell did she not remember any of this? Rumiko started again, "…as the Venom would be enough to kill at least more than two or three herds of chocobo's. Also, it was also odd that the reptile didn't simply devour her at all. She was brought back here where the venom was extracted from her blood stream. It was barely successful, as there might still be some venom crossing through her veins, but right now it's not affecting her in anyway..."

"For right now that is." Nessa added, as her arms held her clipboard to her chest. Both her and Yuffie seem to eye one another in ugly way. Yuffie didn't know this woman, but she all ready didn't like her anyway.

Without warning, she felt a pair of hands begin to feel the side of her stomach and then her backside. It sent a shiver up her spine and she finally snapped out of it before slapping Hojo's hands away from her as she freaked out some.

"What do you think you're doing?!" She held her arms around her lower torso, as she felt the overwhelming stinging pain swimming around.

"Checking for any swelling that might have occurred from the bite. I suggest you don't do that again."

The sound of his voice sounded so eerie and threatening that made her skin crawl.

"I don't need anyone checking me all right? Just give me my things so I can leave. So send a bill to my father or something." She began to get up before his hand placed itself on her shoulder.

"I regret to inform you that you won't be leaving just yet…you still need to be thoroughly looked at."

"Listen buddy if you don't move that hand I'll move it for you and further mo--"

Her words slowly came to a halt, as nothing but air was coming from her mouth. Her whole body froze as if she had suddenly gone into shock. The young girl's eyes had came to rest on the pocket of his white coat to reveal the ShinRa logo printed on the fabric along with his name next to it. She backed away from him quickly as she toppled backwards off the table, but landed on her feet. She stumbled back and pointed an accusing finger at him.

"Y-you! You! You're part of ShinRa and so are the rest of you!"

"You learn quickly don't you?" Nessa said, as she rested a hand on her hip a slight smile on her lips.

Yuffie's hand tightened into a fist and her teeth grinded together slowly. Why in the world would these people from ShinRa bring her here? It made her sick thinking ShinRa had in a way saved her, yet she didn't want to owe these bastards anything. Her eyes darted over to the tray of sharp 'instruments' sitting on the cart next to the table. She her hand quickly grabbed a scalpel and pointed it towards them.

"I swear…if you take one step towards me…"

She wouldn't hesitate to throw it as she threatened them. She had to get out of there by any means possible, but she wasn't quite sure on what she would do when she left this room since she was pretty much unequipped for any battling. Hojo waved a hand and slightly chuckled at her actions, as he was only amused.

"I don't really think you want to do anything stupid at this point." He said, as turned his head to Rumiko nodding to him, as he began to approach her. Yuffie then propelled the scalpel towards him, but he grabbed her wrist with ease and pulled her arm behind her back before doing the same to her other arm. She began to scream as she started to thrash about in his hold. It wasn't hurting, but she couldn't get out of it.

"You'll be making this easier on yourself if you just stop that." Rumiko said, as he held her in place in front of him without any struggle. Yuffie continued to jerk her body back and forth and kick back at his ankles with her feet. She was swearing any possible known foul known in the English dictionary.

"How annoying…"

Hojo rubbed his chin slowly before he reached into his pocket and took out a syringe filled with an unknown fluid inside of it. He approached her, but suddenly pulled back as she began to kick her legs towards him in a fit as she saw the needle.

"Get away from me!"

"It looks like she won't make this easy doctor." Nessa said, as she continued looking on at them.

"Hold her down."

"As you wish…" Rumiko then directed Yuffie towards the table pulling her down over the edge as he held her down restraining her from making anymore-violent movements. Yuffie shut her eyes tightly as she could feel the pointy tip of the needle pressing against her soft skin. She bit her lip and try to hold back the tears swelling up in her eyes. She couldn't stand needles. Though, she did let out a loud scream and began to cry. The needle pulled was then pulled out of her skin after it successfully penetrated all the fluid in the now empty syringe. After a few minutes her yells began to die down and come to a halt.

"Much better…a heavy sedative is just what she needed."

He placed the needle up right in his pocket before placing his arms behind his back looking at the sleeping Yuffie.

"Nessa go tell one of the guards to prepare a cell room. Tell them that we have another one."

"Yes, Professor..." She bowed her head before taking her leave from the room.

Rumiko pulled Yuffie onto the table laying her out. He straightened his uniform and brushed a hand back through his hair. Hojo looked down at the young girl's motionless body. His eyes began taking in every inch of her features as if he was scanning her.

"Professor…"

"Go tell someone to get rid of that other one in the cell. I'm guessing there's no life in that empty shell."

"…but Professor…"

"Did I stutter? Go do it or do you have a problem with removing a corpse?" He said, without turning his head to look at him.

"No sir, I'll go at once. Excuse me Professor."

Rumiko said, as he bowed his head slowly and made his way to the door Nessa had just passed through. The door automatically closed itself behind him as he left the room leaving him and Yuffie alone in the room. He gazed at her face for the moment silently before a ghostly smile appeared on his lips.

"Perfect…you should be helpful than the rest…"
