Chapter Two

Hatori's POV

The dragon sat in his office contemplating that morning's events. Hatori had gotten up at his usual time of 5:30, to begin his day. When he walked past Kureno on his way to visit Akito, a snippet of the rooster's phone conversation made the dragon stop. "Could you send someone to clean the receiving room? There's blood everywhere. Last night's guest was pretty bad off."

You've got me caught up in a daze

Hatori became panicked, thinking Yuki had been injured. But Akito never kept the rat into the wee hours of the morning. So who had been the unfortunate soul to encounter the God?

The dragon had continued on to check in on Akito. He had found the God sitting in the window seat, a black expression on her face.

And I cant seem to understand

"Good morning Akito-Sama. How are you feeling today?" She had looked up with a glassy stare. "How the hell do you think?" Akito had harshly spat. She had hopped up and swept over to Hatori's side. "My Hatori." The God had taken a pale hand and stroked the dragon's cheek. "You would never leave me would you? No matter what he feels." Hatori remembered cringing at the cold skin of the God. "Who do you mean?" He had foolishly asked. A sharp smack had been his punishment for being insolent. "It does not matter who. You are mine. You shall never be his and you will nver leave me!"

Hatori realized now sitting in his office, how strange Akito's words trully had been. It was a common occurance for the God to ramble on about a assortment of things. Most of which held no value. But this time, the words seemed to hold a hidden meaning. As if there was something the dragon was missing and should know about.

What I've been thinking And although your coming clearly now

How did who feel? Why would some man's feelings mean Hatori leaving Akito's side? It made no sense. The dragon shakes his head. Even in his mind, he spoke riddles. The phone rings, and Hatori promptly answers it. "Hello?" A quite whispering voice on the other end, replies, "Hatori Sohma-San. So sorry to bother you. This is Mine, Ayame-San's employee. I wish to talk to you about my employer's physical and emotional condition. Do you have time to listen?"

It's hard for me to turn around and keep from blinking

It seemed as if the woman was trying to keep her voice low. "Mine-Sama, if I may say so, I have always questioned Ayame's mental state." The dragon jests. There is silence on the line. "Mine-Sama?" Hatori asks. "I am here Hatori-San. I am just shocked that someone great as yourself, would joke about your cousin's well being. But I wish to speak to the doctor side of you. I am not sure I trust the 'Hatori-San' by himself." The woman's words dole out a well deserved punishment. "Yes Mine-Sama. Please continue. What is it that troubles you about Ayame?" Hatori restrained himself from adding, 'Besides the obvious.'

All that I can do is be there

"Well you see, the past two weeks, Ayame-San hasn't been himself. He's late for work and doesn't leave till the late hours. He seems less exuburant and I'm afraid something is troubling him. He's lost weight and looks sick everyday now. His once beautiful hair and skin have lost their shine--" The woman chokes on the next sentence and sobs puncuate it. "The fire in his eyes has gone out, Hatori Sohma-San. I am worried he shall perish. He won't talk to me and he forbade me from calling you. I don't usually diobey orders, but I am worried."

And heaven knows that I swear you do something to me

Hatori had to admit he was slightly alarmed at Mine's words. At first, upon second thought, it seemed like another of Ayame's dramatic scenes. He probably had put Mine up to this phone call. "I'm sure it's nothing Mine-Sama. Ayame recovers quickly. He's probably realized, the idea of a man in a dress is absurd." Once agian silence on the line causes Hatori to say, "Mine-Sama?" A audible sob reaches the dragon's ear. "I am still here Hator Sohma-San. Though I am begining to wonder why. I tis clear that you do not care about Ayame-San. I'll just call another doctor." That made the dragon say, "No, no Mine-Sama. I apologize. I do care for Ayame and I am glad you called me first. I shall come over later today, just to check in on him. Is that okay?"

That I'll never ever tell a lie I'll always be their by your side

A relieved sigh comes from Mine. "Yes thank you. But do no tell Ayame-San I called you. I do not wish to lose my job. I do love it so and Ayame-San is a close friend. I enjoy his usual company and he would always talk so highly of you Hatori Sohma-San. If you only knew. Oh well thank you. I better get back to work. I don't want to anger Ayame-San in his current condition. I'll see you later."

Your so soothing It's clearly understandable That I'm not some type of animal I'm just in love with you

A shocked dragon hangs up the receiver. That certainly seemed like a real conversation. An odd one, but still valid. Mine seemed genuinely distraught by Ayame's sudden change. Perhaps Hatori should worry too.

And heaven knows I'm glad I found you

The dragon no sooner thinks this thought, then snorts in laughter. This was Ayame. They had grown up together. The snake had always been pulling ticks and fients. There was nothing to worry about, except setting the snake straight.

Loving and you came around to do the things that u do

You dont even hardly speak to me

Tell me what could it be

To let you walk away so freely

But you still call from time to time

Tell me why you play with my mind

I know you wanna be here with me

All that I can do is be there

And heaven knows that I swear you do something to me

That I'll never ever tell a lie

I'll always be their by your side your so soothing

I just dont know what I've been doing wrong

In your life baby

Baby if you give me one my time

I will never ever leave yours side


Song Lyrics "Clearly" By Anthony Hamilton

(A/N So what did you think of this chapter. I was upset cause I couldn't find a good song for the way Hatori is acting. The one I picked doesn't really fit and almost makes it seem like there's gonna be a romance between Ayame and Mine or Hatori and Mine. That will NOT be happening. Sorry but this is AyamexHatori. So yeah next chapter up in about a week I think. Review please.)
