Chapter 4: More than a whole universe

Third person's P.O.V.

"I won't open them" Sakamaki Izayoi, the now disobedient patient declared, hiding under his blanket. The situation? It was afternoon, one day after doctor Takane's attempt to make the blond open his eyes for her to do a test on his eyes movement.

"Look, boy. You have to do it and you will. So let go of that actually useless cover and open those damn eyes" She hissed, somehow still composed. Her patience was actually very remarkable as she has been 'politely' asking the boy to do as she says... although now repeating the sentence "don't kill him" in her head.

"Screw you, there is no way you can force me" The white 'ball' in bed which was supposed to be Izayoi protested.

There was a hopeful silence for the boy and he almost thought that the doctor gave up. Almost. However, the woman was still there. And this time speaking more like a demon.

"Get those eyes open or I will seriously gouge them" Takane said with such a frightening voice that it made the boy shiver.

"No" he said with a small hesitation.

"Fine" Izayoi didn't like that. His guts were screaming at him "DANGER!" And they were right.

Damn right, this was a freaking dangerous situation. Arisawa Takane ripped the blanket out of Izayoi and found the boy curled in ball vulnerably holding his head in his hands. As much as he looked cute and defendless that didn't stop her from her actions. All that was in her mind was impaitence, rage and of course, her goal - to (gouge) examine the blond's eyes.

"WHATTHE-" the boy yelled as he registred the missing cover. And then the weigh pinning him down the bed and making him lay stŕaigh... if he didn't want to go through agony.

"YOU INSANE OR WHAT?!" the blond screamed as he realized the doctor was sitting at him (or at least it felt like it) and effectively preventing him from moving.

"I hope it doesn't hurt too much" she said with a overly sweet face. Well yeah, it didn't really hurt, she didn't really sit on him cause that would certainly hurt his few broken ribs. "But dare to move even an inch and I will make sure to give you some serious pain. Now open those eyes" she threatened him.

Izayoi was cornered, not able to move (his unbroken arm was clenched in doctor's hand) and not strong enough to knock her off him. So... what could he do to save himself from this sadistic demon?

"I will count to three, if you don't open your eyes I will slowly put some pressure into your chess. It will hurt like hell but I will make sure not to worsen your wounds. Or at least not to kill you"

"I hate you" The boy sighed desperately.

"One" she started the counting.

"You sure are good with torture, what were you doing before you became a doctor?"

"Two" he felt a slight weigh falling at his ribs.

"Hey, hey. You wouldn't do that right?"

"Three" her voice was scary.

"OKAY OKAY, GET OF ME" He finally gave up, deciding that his stubborness was not worth another wave of unbearable pain.

"Will you do as I say?" Takane questioned, still staring at her (prisoner) patient.

"Yes, your hightness..." he said sarcastically.

"Fine, open" she ordered, ignoring the tone he used.

"Could you please get of me?"

"No"

"Pretty please?" he asked sweetly, trying to get rid of the annoying woman. Damn annoying demon.

"No, now open" the doctor snapped.

"Why can't it wait? My head still hurts" the boy tried to get out of this sitiation. He really didn't want to have the penlight burning his brain. It would certainly hurt, a lot. Though the pain was way better then yesterday.

"But you are well enough to put this much resistance?" there was a slight amusion in her voice. "Look,I really need to make sure everything is alright. I know it will hurt, no doubt about that, but I just have to. If there is any problem and I don't detect it now, there is a possibitlity of pernament consequences"

Her seriousness made Izayoi think about it again. He knew from the start that she was only doing her job and all of that was just for his sake so why was he so... ah, whatever he though, sighting. I'll just do what she wants

Slowly opening his eyes, he spotted the brown haired woman hovering over him. Now she finally got off him and started with that damn work of hers.

Oh yes, that was the time Izayoi started to curse himself for ever doing so. The light made his eyes burn and it made the before dulled pain shoot up. Thanks god it was just for a moment, because if he had to be exposed to that pain even a bit longer, he would probably pass out or seriously get annoyed and kick the doctor out of window. She wouldn't probably mind it too much... even with this being the second floor. She was tough. That wouldn't kill her and if yes, then... then the boy would get peace, pernamently, but then got totally screwed up. For various reasons. For example killing his doctor.

"Done" the woman stated and freed the teen from her clutches.

Izayoi snapped his eyes closed and curled up into a ball of vulnerability, once again, rubbing his whole head.

"Do you want something for the pain?" Takane offered gently as she noticed her patient in that miserable state.

"No drugs please" a small voice came from him.

"No drugs, just painkillers or some pills" she covered him the the white sheets again and sat on his bed.

"Would do" it sounded like the boy no longer wanted to speak so the woman sighed and stood up to get some pills and a glass of water. After a while, she handed it to the blond who obediently swallowed them and then immediately went sleep..

Looking at the now slowly raising chest and listening to the steady breating, she started stroking his hair. Takane wasn't all that keen on making the boy go through more pain than needed but she did had to examinee his eyes movement. She would not overlook any detail, however small. The boy was recovering well and she would not let anything interfere with that. Escpecially not her neglect.

"Nice dreams, Izayoi-kun" and with that, she left the teenage boy rest.


Yo's P.O.V.

"I see nothing" my friend with gift of authority stated.

"I said there would be nothing" the bunny girl next to me sighed.

"We have just arrived, it is too early to give up, isn't it?" I spoke out with a hopeful smile.

"Who said we are giving up?" Asuka smirked, crossing her arms. "Let's get going, shall we?"

And so, we started looking for any clue about the culprit. I have never been to this place but it looked familiar. In a bad way. The scenery was almost identical with the one of destroyed land of the No name comunity. Barren soil. No river and even no animals. That area looked so dead, it was dead.

"The ground is way too dry to keep traces" Black rabbit said with in a low voice.

"But there must be something" something inside me believed that we just overlooked something. Anything to find out truth.

There was a long pause. All three of us were aware of the fact that there was nothing here. Black rabbit was completly right, we had no chance.

"Let's search a little more, maybe we will be lucky?" To my surprise said the blue haired girl with gentle smile.

"Yeah" I returned her a smile. "Maybe"


Asuka's P.O.V.

It has been only an hour but the searching seemed endless. All I saw was sand. Or soil. Or rocks. Or some parched trees here and there. However I could not give up. As I realized I went further than I should, I could no longer see Yo-san or Black rabbit.

Well, whatever. It's not like I would get lost, even though it looked all the same here.

I bend down and gazed at the ground, all around me. Those stupid small rocks and clay were grinning at me, laughing at my effort which seemed so useless.

"Damn this!" I yelled, kicking the ground. Yeah, I just got mad at ground. Nice, huh?

My legs carried me to another terrain, this time a little different. Or not. The only thing that was different was that the rocks were bigger. Bigger than me, actually. This was wierd, Black rabbit said that the outskirts of Little garden were like desert. No plants, indeed, rarely an animal, no water. But there weren't supposed to be boulders. Just sand and rhinestones.

It didn't matter anyway. Those were just rocks, stupid and lifeless rocks. It wasn't like their presence somehow influenced my quest. Nor could they speak and give me some usefull information. Tch.

Looking around me I found nothing. Again. But as I made a step, I felt something wierd. Something hollow and hard under me. I stared at the place where my foot landed but spotted the monotonous brown. However, that place felt different. I was almost one hundred percent sure there something was burried down there.

"Deen!" I called out and watched as the golem appeared before me.

"Dig the ground right here" I ordered, pointing at the suspicious spot.

Well, Deen did exactly what I said, even though the pit was a bit bigger than I wanted... My eyes started searching for the mysterious object I supposed would be hidden under surface. After a long gazing at the disordered pile of clay, I spotted something shiny.

I carefully apporached it and picked it up. That thing was strange, I have never seen something like this in Little Garden. But it looked similar to something I hated. Something I saw almost everyday in my own world, the one filled with hatred, distrust and war. I never wanted to touch it again. A gun. It looked awfully same like a gun. There were many differences but the major features were there. Trigger, frame, barrel. In contrast there were no bullets or ammunition. And I have also never seen a crystal white handgun.

"Asuka-san!" Suddenly someone called my name. It was Black rabbit.

"I'm here" I yelled back with eyes still locked at the weapon. After a little while, my two friends caught up to me.

"Asuka, so you were here all along" Kasukabe-san said while heavily exhaling and inhaling.

"We were worried sick, what if something happened to you? Please don't be so reckless and go wander yourself, Asuka-san!" Black rabbit scolded me.

"I'm sorry, but" I stood up and faced them with the gun in my hands. "I found this"

"What is that?" the blue-haired rabbit asked slowly with a slight horror in her eyes, as if she was considering every word.

"Who knows" my reply sounded a little frustrated. "But this is our first lead"

"That's wonderful" a short haired brunette said with ressurected hope.

"Indeed, let's do our best!" Black rabbit smiled and hugged us.

It looks like we will solve this mystery in no time, doesn't it?


Izayoi's P.O.V.

This feeling... what was it? What was this strange and wierd sensation I felt? I was familiar with it, with the strange hurting. It was certainly...

"Hunger" I whispered to myself, annoyed by the sound of my unsettled stomach.

Yeah, I was hungry. Really hungry. Extremly, and seriously so hungry that even two cows wouldn't satisfy me. Tch. How long has it been since I had a proper meal? Not like I remembered anything, just a rhetorical question.

My head was almost numb, the headache dulled and my thoughts a little hazy. I thought I said no drugs to that hellish sadistic doctor, so why do I feel so sluggish and slow?

I did my best to sit down and somehow managed to do so, though I got a little dizzy. How annoying. Lying in bed all day all night was annoying. Boring! My body needed to do something, anything!

Well, since the hunger finally hit me, I could have a little journey to kitchen. I slowly got up, a little surprised by my unstable legs. But after a little while of standing, I regained the strenght and tried to make a few steps. Good, just an uncomfortable sensation in chest here and there. Now that I got away from that bed, I noticed that I couldn't use my left hand. It was freely swaying on my side, covered in a thick layer of bandage. Broken, for sure.

Growl. My stomach got my attention again. Yeah I know you want food, just wait a damn while.

While using the wall as support, I dragged myself out of the room and remembered one very vital thing. I had no idea where I was. I had no idea where was kitchen or bathroom or anything. Internally punching myself, I sighed. Well whatever. I would find it sooner or later and I had no intention of returning into that prison (my room).

The hall looked very luxurious, red carpet, pictures on the wall and golden wallpapers. I got the impression of that it was a whole castle I was in.

Even though it must have been only about ten minutes, I already felt exhausted. Guess it was because of the fact I did nothing in those past days. The discomfort I felt in my chest became a burning pain and it seemed like that drug for headache was wearing off. I stopped in the middle of straight hallway and leaned my backs on the wall, doing my best to calm down my breathing.

Shit I thought as I realized that even after what seemed forever I couldn't get my lungs work properly. A sudden wave of sheer pain hit me and I lost the fight to stay on legs. Falling down, I somehow hit my head and everything blurred.

Agony. The unbearable agony took over my head and slowly ripped it into two. Double shit. But my head wasn't the only thing that nagged me, lack of oxygen and those starts flying around my head were a next damn problem. For some reason, I couldn't move even a finger, just laid on the floor, suffocating and being tormented by pain.

I had to stand up. I had to sit up and breath slow and deep. Calm down and then get back into the my room. However none of that seemed possible at the moment. This was bad, seriously bad. I already felt my consciousness slowly fading away, black covering my vision, but then, I heard someone call me. My half closed eyes re opened to spot a blue haired girl. Or rabbit?

Her face was washed in worry and few tears found their way out. She was saying something and shaking with me. Then the girl got me into different position and somehow it was easier to breath. Maybe I couldn't before because I was lying on my chest? Oh whatever.

After a while, when my head cleared up a little, I finally heard her words.

"-please, hang in there, Izayoi-san!" she plead and then turned around as if waiting for someone to come.

"W...ho?" I tried to ask, but found it more demanding then expected.

"Izayoi-san!" she called out, this time with hopeful eyes. "It's okay, don't worry, you will be fine soon" she put on a smile with tears streaming down.

I wanted to tell her I was fine, to stop her crying and chase away all the concern. I felt so uncomfortable seeing her cry. It was like she meant a whole world to me and now it was breaking. Being torn apart. But who was she? Who was she to me?

Tired. I was so tired. I wanted to sleep, to drift away into darkness, but she would be worried, right? She would weep again, scream and be scared, wouldn't she? No, I couldn't do that. I would stay conscious to ease her concern. I had to stay strong and assure her that everything was going to be fine.

Because even though I didn't know her, didn't remember her, it felt like... she was more than a whole universe to me.


Do you like it? I hope so! :)))) Also, I'm really starting to like Black rabbit and Izayoi as a pair, so... here I come! Power of looove! :DD Anyway, I am sorry again for a late chapter! And also, review, review and review please! It makes me all fired up and really happy! :) Thank you, bye bye!
