OK here is chapter six. Lost my muse for a while, so here we go, back on track.
I don't own Okane Ga Nai, or any of the characters from that rig. Though I do own Yuna, Soren, Uta, Reiketsu, Chateux, Eclipse...Anyone else I am forgetting?
Anyways, please enjoy.
ALSO PLEASE REVIEW! _
Yes, uncle. Kanou-San, Ayase-San, this is my elder brother, Reiketsu, also the leader of the Yakuza." Soren said.
"Kanou-San, what room is my wife in?" He prompted. "The nurses wouldn't tell me the room number." Reiketsu asked as he swept his long black hair behind his shoulder.
"The room is 7000. I put her there myself. Why they didn't tell you the room is a mystery to me. Kanou?" Soren inquired.
"I told my employees to keep the fact that she was here quiet so that the press wouldn't find out. " Kanou answered.
"Uncle, where have you been forever?" Eclipse demanded.
"Yeah, forever, uncle Reiketsu." Chateux repeated.
"I've been really busy with work, boys. Did I make you wait long?" Reiketsu knelt down to look at the two boys, waiting their answers.
"Not that long. But to long at the same time." Chateux said.
"Yup, a long time, but not long to much. Are you gonna come to our house and play today?" Eclipse asked.
"Well, today wouldn't be a good time to come and play, because Uta and I want to spend the whole day with you two, but we can't today because your aunt is getting better from a wound that she got a little bit ago, and even if I did go, I couldn't spend the whole day with you guys. So maybe another day, ok?" Reiketsu explained.
"Ok then another day, but soon." They chimed.
"A-ano...Kanou-San, is that woman ok?" Ayase interrupted, blushing deeply as everyone in the room turned to look at him. "U-um, that is-"
"She is fine. Her wound is healing rather nicely and she is able to be up longer than she was a few days ago." Kanou told him.
"You saved my wife and got hurt in her place, I am very grateful to you, and I am sorry that you got injured as well. I can't express my gratitude enough. I'm sure that if she were able to move Uta would like to see you." Reiketsu stated, turning to leave. "And now I must go to her. Please excuse me."
"Her name is Uta? You mean like song?" Ayase said confusedly while rubbing his wrists where the needles were just taken out of five minutes ago before everyone came into the room.
"Yes, like song. She has a beautiful voice too, you should hear her sing sometime. She sings professionally." Reiketsu offered.
"Oh, I'm glad she's...ok?" Ayase began, slurring his speech slightly. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Please excuse me. I feel a bit drowsy." Ayase stated bring overly formal.
"Take a rest. We still have the whole day." Yuna said. Ayase complied, nodding his head and pulled the covers up to his neck as Yuna let the bed down to a sleeping position.
"Kanou-San?" Ayase asked while everybody else was too busy to take notice of him talking to Kanou. Kanou looked over to Ayase and smirked when he saw the small hand hanging out from underneath the bed covers, waiting for another hand to fill it. Ayase looked away, blushing at his expression.
"Of course." Kanou replied to the gesture. He took Ayases' hand in his own and sat in the chair beside the bed to watch the angel gradually slip off to sleep.
"Nng." Ayase groaned lightly, trying to shake off the pain that was growing inside of his skull. He heard the low buzz of conversation around him and decided that everybody had stuck around while he was napping. His eyes opened and looked to the window and scrutinized the darkness outside. Hadn't it been light outside just a moment ago?
"Ayase, you're awake. You've slept for quite some time. How are you feeling?" Yuna began questioning. Her face looking over his as he gazed back confusedly.
"My head hurts." He said simply his head slumping to one side. Kanou looked over to him and was over to his bedside in an instant looking over him.
Kanou had seen Ayase in a similar state many times before. Right before a nasty fever had him bedridden for a week at least.
"Ayase?" Kanou asked, leaning down to feel Ayases' forehead. "Damn it, you have a fever." Kanou cursed.
"Ayase-Chibi, I need to take your temperature, to see if your fever is just your normal type." said Yuna.
"Any assistance needed?" Soren asked.
"Not so far. I'll call you if I need any." Yuna told him, reaching into a cupboard pulling out a thermometer.
"Ok." Soren responded, turning toward the door, picking up Chateux and and Eclipse on the way. Reiketsu followed right behind him.
"My head hurts a little." Ayase whimpered ,afraid no one had heard him the first time, when the door closed shut.
"On a scale of one to ten, how bad is it?" Yuna questioned.
"I don't know, it just hurts really bad. Make it stop. Please..." Ayase begged, holding his forehead even tighter as the pain escalated quickly. Yuna out a thermometer and stuck it under his tongue. The loudest noise in the room was Ayases' breathing, short and light. The thermometer beeped.
Yuna took it out of Ayases' mouth and gaped. It was well over normal. Yuna stared at Ayase, her eyebrows knitting together, contemplating what the best solution was. She stared at the wires that hooked Ayase to the machines beside him.
"You shouldn't be this hot. I need you to flip over on to your stomach. I'll lower the head of the bed, so you should be comfortable. Don't move to fast and move very carefully, you don't want to rip disturb the stitches in any way. Kanou, help him, please." Yuna began her normal order giving.
Kanou moved to help Ayase flip over, and saw that the skin around the stitches on Ayases' back had grown bruised and puffy. It was oozing clear and white liquid mixed slightly with blood, from the recent activity of sitting up then lying back down again. Kanou scowled. Ayases' body felt hot to the touch and was sweating, but the sweat was icy.
"Ayase. I need you to listen to me, ok?" Yuna told him.
"O-ok." He stuttered, shaking and shivering slightly from kanous' cold touch. His body felt cold, but he was sweating, and there was a splitting pain in his head. Soon he was on his back and Yuna began talking.
"Ayase, you cannot panic after I tell you this, ok?" Said Yuna
"Kanou-San!" He yelled. "Ok, just make it stop, please." Kanou stood beside Ayases' bed and took his small hand in his own. It was cold.
"Ayase. There are not any more needles in your body, but I need to put one into your blood stream to find out what is causing your pain and to give you some pain killers. Don't move." She started."I cant give them to you in pill form because there is a chance you might throw up." Ayases' eyes widened and his body stiffened.
"NO, NO NEEDLES! THEY'LL GO IN MY BODY!" Ayase began. "I-I-NO NEEDLES-THEY-THEY'LL- NO!" Ayase yelled, making the tension in the room go higher.
"AYASE!" Kanou shouted at him. "ENOUGH!" Ayase jumped and turned his head to look at him, and his eyes teared up, hearing Kanou shout at him. Kanous' face softened. "I'm going to be right here, holding your hand, remember?"
"I d-didn't mean to-" Ayase went on, his face crumpling.
"It's ok, Ayase. I don't think it will hurt much. Just a pinch. Ok?" Kanou reassured him stroking his hand gently.
"But- it's going to break my skin and go in my veins. I don't want to do it, Kanou-San." Ayase whispered . Yuna began to clean and dress his wound, wiping away the unclean liquid oozing out of the places that stitches were piercing his skin and putting a thick clear gel over the stitches.
Ayase flinched and whimpered when she brushed her fingers across the bluish-purpley-black and yellow bruises
After turning Ayase on his side to avoid disturbing the stitches again, she took a cleansing wipe and brushed it over the inside of his left elbow. Ayases' lower lip trembled from what was to come and grasped Kanous' hand tighter.
"Ok, Aya-Chibi, I am going to give it to you now, so you can turn away if you please." Yuna spoke to him in a soft tone, using his pet name to comfort him a little.
"Kanou-San...I'm scared..." Ayase whispered to Kanou, seeking his eyes for reassurance. Kanou scooted closer to him and stroked his hair.
"It's ok. I'm right here." He re-told him. Ayase slightly bobbed his head to say 'ok'.
Yuna took the needle and placed it against Ayases' skin. Ayase gasped and buried his face in Kanous' chest, tightly shutting his eyes. He bit his lip as he felt the needle prick him and slide into his body, then pierce his vein. It was painful, but only a little bit. What scared him was the cold feeling the metal gave off after pricking him. It was just like the knife that cut him.
"Kanou-San!" Ayase gasped, gripping Kanou even tighter. Kanou began petting the golden blond hair of his angel, trying to calm him once again.
Ayases' eyes were closed, hoping to will away the pain when it disappeared and was replaced with a dull ache.
"See it's all over. She's going to put some medication into the water tube, ok?" Kanou soothed. Yuna placed a tube on the back of the needle that hooked up to the water bag Ayase was previously hooked up to. After, she injected a pain killer into the water and Ayase began feeling better instantly.
"Kanou-San?" He asked, drowsily.
"Yes?" He answered back, still petting his lover.
"I'm tired." He said.
"Yes, I figured you would be. Just go to sleep." He calmly told him.
"But...I don't like nightmares." He whined weakly.
"Nightmares?" Kanou prompted.
"Hai. I got hurt last time." He portrayed. "And then..." He stopped, his head becoming heavier in Kanous lap. His arms slumped to the bed and his whole body became slack, the sleepiness overcoming his whole body. At least the pain had stopped.
"And then?" Kanou demanded.
"N thn y d." He slurred. Kanous' eyes knit together in trying to piece together what Ayase said.
"What?" He finally asked, feeling slightly guilty for waking up the sleeping boy in his arms. Ayase barely jolted and began to answer once more.
"And then I killed you." He sighed then closed his eyes again. Kanou looked down at Ayase slightly disturbed that Ayase even dreamed of killing. And that he was the person that killed. And that the person he killed.
"Ayase?" He began to ask again.
"Somuku. Let him rest." A voice behind him sounded quietly.
"Someya what are you doing here?" Kanou asked confused about where he popped up from.
"I'm here to see Ayase, obviously. I wanted to see how bad he is and how he's healing up." She said, her eyebrow twitching from having to explain the obvious. "Besides the girls from the bar are here to see how he is doing. So if he was awake then I was going to see if he could have visitors, but I don't think I will ask. He looks too peaceful. By the way, have you gotten any rest lately? You look pretty horrid, if I do say so myself. The girls would be disappointed."
Kanous' face took on a look of annoyance as he answered. "No. I haven't. and I don't care about your so called 'girls."
"Anyways," Someya began, "I am opening an invitation to come to my home tonight to rest, though I know you will probably just say-"
"No." He cut off just as Someya said the word as well.
"See, exactly as I though. Well, I really must be going. I, for one need my beauty sleep, and since I have finally been admitted to see Ayase for once, I can finally get that much needed sleep. Oyasuminasai, Somuku." He stepped out of the room in a silent flourish, flipping his hair.
Kanou sighed and untangled himself from Ayase, even though he hated to do so. Someya was right, though. Kanou needed sleep if he was going to function properly. He stood and went over to the cupboard beside the bench that occupied the far wall and pulled out a blanket and pillow that was kept there for over night guests. He lied down on the bench, covering himself with the blanket and propping his head up on the pillow, he took his shoes off. As soon as he was settled, sleep overtook him.
The next week passed uneventful, and Kanou had started going back to work during the day, and slept in Ayases' hospital room at night. Ayase was healing rather properly and was happy to hear the Uta had finally been released.
Kanou came to the room as Yuna was walking out. She stopped him.
"There's news." She said, her face serious.
*Sigh* I know, I know. I took to long to upload. And right now, I don't feel like giving any lame excuses, so I aqm just going to say I turned lazy. So hah...ha...haha...O.o
PLEASE NO ANGRY MOBS! I DIDN'T DO IT, I SWEAR!
Kanou: That is exactly why you are going to have mobs. Because you didn't do it.
Reiketsu: Oh crap! Your right, for once. What to do...
Ayase: Yep. It's not what you did do, it's what you didn't do.
Reiketsu: Hey, which side are you on?
