And it goes on...The madness continues. Akito is going to meet his new nurse. Just imagine people...

Maya was walking to the address on paper and somehow wasn't shocked when she arrived at the Sohma compound. The only thing that confused her was how to get in. I figured they were a ritzy family. I mean he did say "Head of the Family" and all. That gave it away. But damn. This place is huge. They must be a huge family. But how do I get in to see this doctor?

It was as if it was Momiji's cue to guide people when they were lost around there. He popped up out of no where. "Hi there! You must be the person Hari's been talking about all morning!" the young boy chimed. "Come right in! Hari'll give you a key to the gate later today because you'll be needing one." he laughed, now starting to open the gate from the other side. 'I'll show you where Hari is! OH but I didn't even introduce myself! I'm Momiji Sohma!"

She cocked her head to the side and laughed. I like this kid...ok I am being a bit of a hypocrite but still. He's funny. "I'm Maya. Thank you. Ok. And has he really been talking about me all morning?" She asked as she walked along following Momiji.

"Oh yes!" he said. "He's really happy that he found someone like you to help watch over Akito! In fact he's thrilled! Hey when you meet him, he might look kind of dull and unexcited, but don't let that fool you, he's really excited, okay? You're warmly welcomed here!" he chimed, leading her to a house that was sort of in the back a bit.

She just couldn't stop laughing. "You are the friendliest kid I think I've ever met. You don't seem to have a limit to your energy level. So answer this: how old are you?"

"Huh? Oh, I'm 15!" he replied, now spreading his arms wide as he balanced on his toes. "Hari's right inside there!" he said. "Don't be shy, Hari can seem a little intimidating sometimes, but that's just him being dull!"

She smiled. "I knew you were older than you looked. Ok. Thanks." She laughed again. Dull huh? I bet when he sees me I will see some non-dullness. He'll have to react...well if he guesses or if I tell him my age. Either way. Here I go. She walked into Ha'ri's office slipping her shoes off as she did so. "Hi there. My name is Maya. You must be Dr. Sohma. Pleasure to meet you." She extended her hand for Hatori to shake.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Hatori turned around and eyed her dully, looking just the way Momiji described him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Maya." he replied, reaching for her hand and shaking it very firmly. "You're a very young lady. Younger than I expected." Yeah, he had to give her a comment like that. Remember when he told Tohru she looked like an ordinary girl?

She gave him an extra firm grip. "Thanks. That's always nice to hear. I'm still 16. I will be 17 soon. Few weeks or so. Is that going to be a problem?" Maya asked looking innocent, yet mischievous at the same time.

Hatori did look a bit surprised to hear that. The dullness almost escaped out of Hari's expression. "...Ah, I see..." he finally said. "No, it won't be a problem...It's just that you will be the youngest nurse I have hired yet for Akito. Maybe younger is good." he said thoughtfully.

"I saw that. Surprise. That generally is part of the problem. Really?" It was her turn to look surprised. "Younger is better hmm? And why might that be doctor?" She spoke playfully.

"Well, considering the other nurses were as old as I was...and none of them worked well with Akito...Perhaps he may be able to get along with someone closer to his age..." Hatori wasn't sure if he believed that, but it was the only thing he could think of to say. "Right to the point then? The contract?" he said, heading over to his desk to get it.

"Old now were they?" She winked teasing. "But you can't be more than thirty at the oldest. So you're probably late twenties. "But I guess that might make sense. I like to get close to my patients." Then she dropped her voice. "If I ever had one." But raised it just as quickly as she lowered it. "Anyhow yes. Contract."

Hatori handed it to her along with a nice fancy pen that most of the nurses tried to keep. And the pay, well, it was beyond wonderful really. But so many nurses wished for higher because Akito was that much of a pain to them. "You may use my desk to write on if you like."

Thank you." She looked it over thoroughly and asked him what seemed like fifty thousand questions and some of them didn't seem to have a purpose or even make sense but she understood every word. Finally..."Any questions for me? After all of my questions?"

Hatori blinked at her. There was noticeably one difference between them. "No." he replied dryly. "Except, do you wish to meet Akito now? He's currently in his room lying down."

"That would be nice." She signed the contract and got up. "Which way do we go? You lead."

Hatori cleared his throat and walked in front of her. "This way then." He continued down the hall and finally reached Akito's room in which the door was closed. The moment he opened it there came a huge grunting sound.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The young boy could be seen lying on the hardwood floor, and he was shivering. "Ooooooh..." Akito moaned again as if he had a stomach ache of some sort. "Hatori, you treat me so badly... Is the new person here yet?" he mumbled, pretending to be in pain. Well, Hatori could tell at least.

"Yes she's here, and she's going to introduce herself to you." he said, his eyes darting to the young girl now.

"I am Sun Maya sir. And I will be your new nurse. If I might ask is something wrong? Do you have a stomach ache or something of the sort? I know something that might help." She smiled. Well if he's going to fake it he's going to get something he didn't bargain for.

Akito didn't roll around to look at her, he obviously didn't want to. That or he was pretending to be too hurt. He was quiet for a moment. Hm, her voice did seem a bit, well, young and sweet. Too much like Tohru's to be exact. "Why can't Hatori do it? He's the one who DID this to me."

Hatori's face faltered. He hadn't been the target when the other nurses came, so this was unexpected a bit. "Akito-sama...With all due respect, please tell me what I have done-"

"Oooooooh... If only I could be covered up warmly...If only I had something soft to rest against...If only I was fed regularly!" Akito snapped before doubling over in fake pain again.

"..." Hatori was at a loss for what to say. This wasn't something Akito usually did. It just didn't make sense.

"I'm so sorry sir. Please let me help. That's what I'm here for. I have something that tastes wonderful that should make it stop hurting. That and maybe if you would allow me to get some food for you. Please?" She bent down and mixed a little drink right in front of Hatori's eyes. "Here sir. Your doctor saw me make this. It should fix your stomach right up. But I should warn you. I do specialize in unconventional medicine." She went over to Akito and bowed, getting down on her knees in front of him with her head down, offering the drink to him as though he were a king...or more.

"Oh...I haven't gotten this kind of treatment in years..." Akito said in a this-is-about-time voice. He took the drink and sipped it with pleasure. "Mmmmm Hatori can you EVER do anything so simple for me?"

Hatori just watched. This was certainly a turn in Maya's personality; just maybe she could get manipulated by Akito to kill him because he has treated him so 'badly. "...I see everything is all right then.." He spoke quietly before turning around and leaving to his office where he could be safely locked up. I wonder if I should be worried...

"Is it to your liking sir? I hope so. You should feel the effects in minutes sir. It may make you a tad bit drowsy but that is all. Is there anything else I can do for you Akito-sama?" She smiled on the inside but kept a straight face outward. She could play poker like nobody's business. Maybe I should tell him...Nah...he'll find out soon enough.

A few minutes later Akito's stomach started hurting. The pain was excruciating. Practically unbearable…even for him.

"Holy crap!" Just as the slightest bit of pain hit him, he sat up and embraced his stomach tightly, only to fall right over again. His widened eyes darted to his new nurse. "What the-what the hell?" Then the pain got worse and worse until it was indeed 'excruciating'. He couldn't bring himself to talk, the tears were spilling out of his eyes, and he was bawling like a complete baby. 'Hatori help me! Hatori HELP me! I take it back!' he screamed in his mind, praying to god that Hatori had telepathy too.

"Akito-sama what's wrong?" The only way that would hurt you is if you weren't in pain before. But you would never fake it would you? That would be an important thing to tell me. But I should get your doctor to take you to the hospital. But if you were faking it then I could just give you something else but...no. I'll go get Dr. Sohma. Anything you think I should know before I go?" This will teach him.

Akito tried to talk to her but he just couldn't. He was being swallowed up in his own sea of tears right now. Yeah, he did want Hatori with him, he didn't want to be alone with this girl, but did he want to go to the hospital? No. Akito rocked his body back and forth, trying to cope with the pain. It was starting to alleviate already, but he wasn't realizing that just yet.

"I'll go get Dr. Sohma. I promise I'll be right back! I promise." She ran to Hatori's office and knocked rapidly on the door while trying to contain her laughter. Once she left Akito her serious/worried act wasn't kept up. "Hatori-san please open the door. Please. I don't think I can hold it much longer. I-" she burst out laughing.

Well, it wasn't like Hatori could concentrate when he had five minutes of peace and quiet earlier. He was thinking too much about this girl, about Akito, what they were already doing...Upon hearing the rapid knocking, he rose out of his chair and headed to the door with haste. "What happened?" he asked the instant he opened the door. "What.." He watched her laugh.

"It's...Akito" she began between laughs. "I gave him something for his stomach. But the thing is it's hurting him now." She laughed even harder. "I knew he couldn't resist it presented like that. So I gave it to him." She continued laughing. "The pain will subside soon enough. If he had been in pain he would have felt better but since he wasn't...he got pain. O." She wiped her eyes because she was laughing so hard. "Ok. I'm calm. I'm calm. O. Ok. You should go pretend to be concerned. I told him unless he was faking it which he would "never do" he'd have to go to the hospital. But that's not true. O. Wow."

"Yes...Wow..." Hatori muttered dryly, hardly finding this humorous to begin with. "I don't pretend, and I pray that you will be serious like you're supposed to on a job, especially one that pays you this well. I have expectations of you." And then, as he turned his back to her, he sort of smirked. "Is that all you wanted to tell me? You should hurry back and see if Akito needs you."

She stood up straight now and so became her expression. "I think this will teach him a lesson. And I think you need to learn to live a little. So forgive me for thinking he needed a taste of his own medicine! I think I will if that's your attitude. Honestly you adults are so serious. Isn't that something he would do though?" She asked with a smirk as she ran back to Akito putting on her "worried" face.

Akito looked like he was dead already. The pain subsided by now, true, but he felt like he was truly dying now. He was sweating terribly, and his hair was very messy, not to mention he looked tangled up in his robe. When he heard the girl's footsteps approach the room, he turned his face towards the doorway so he could see her. There was a sparkle of hate in his eyes. "Because of you... I am dying faster..."

She dropped the act. "Look. You're not dying at all. You just feel like it. There are side effects because you were faking it. At most it will subside within a few hours. Probably only one. I just wanted to teach you a lesson. I don't take shit. You DO NOT fake sick with me. I take my job very seriously. I don't care who you are. But if I am here to take care of you then Damnit I expect you to be honest with me. Now cut the crap and drink this," she pulled out a vial and put it into the cup, "I promise you that this time there are no tricks. This will make you feel truly better within less than half the time it would take to go away on its own. Ok? Now drink." She went over, held him up a bit and coaxed it down his throat. "There we go. Now give in to the herbs and go to sleep. When you wake up we're gonna have a long talk. K? Nighty Night. Sleep well Akito."

Yay! That was awesome. We already had this part done.That's why the faster update. Never can promise how quickly it will come. O welly.
