Ginoza
"You're mine and no one else."
My eyes open in a jolt as I sit up, trying to catch my breath as I massage my temples to sooth the headache that I woke up with. My eyes start wandering around the room I'm in; it's empty except for a chair to my right and an I.V to my left, the walls a boring white that just seem to make the illusion that the room is bigger than what it really is. Without a doubt that I'm in the medical facility of the MWPSB, the crest on the I.V helps to verify that I really am here and it feels like a huge load has just been removed from my chest. I allow myself to drop back on the bed as I take out the needle of the I.V in my arm, I've been stung with needles enough as it is already, I don't need it.
It doesn't take long for a nurse to come running in the room all alarmed but quickly calms down when she sees that I'm awake and fine… yeah that's right, I forgot when the needle no longer has any contact with the patient it alerts the nurses at the desk that something is wrong. I start regretting having removed it when she starts taking my blood pressure then my temperature and it was just not stopping with more and more things. A check up here and there I just want her to stop touching me but I know it's her job but I just can't stand it.
"He looks fine nurse."
That voice… That's dad for sure. The nurse stops what she was doing and finally leaves me alone as she puts away the I.V machine before leaving the room to resume what she had been previously doing probably.
"How are you feeling son?" He asks as he comes closer to my bed, takes my face in his hands and kisses my forehead like he use to when I was a kid. I want to tell him that I'm alright but he'll see right through my lie in a heartbeat… I feel like I've been up for a week straight without any sleep and that I've worked none stop but dad also looks tired himself, drained even but he looks content.
"How long was I out?" I ask hoping to change the subject.
"About four to five hours but you needed it. You look better than when I saw you this morning son." He says as he sits down on the chair, bringing it closer to the bed.
"I don't even remember…" I remember professor Saiga, I know I managed to get to a home and banged on the door and it was professor Saiga that answered but after that I don't remember what I did. I don't recall how I was transported here to begin with; everything is just a total blur.
"You had hypothermia, it's all normal that you might not remember but your fine now." He tells me as he takes my hand in his, stroking his thumb on the top.
"… I'm not fine…" I finally said it but I can't look at dad but down at my hands. Physically I feel worse than when I got my ass kicked back in school but mentally I don't know what I feel. I feel numb and yet my brain just won't stop processing everything I've been through over and over again. It's like my brain has gone on over drive and has been given several dosage of caffeine in one go.
"No one expects you to be either and no one expects you to get over this immediately. Everything that's happened we know that it must have been so horrible and traumatic for you, you need time to heal son." … Traumatic… I guess you can call it that…
I look at dad when I hear him get up and come closer to the bed to sit next to me, taking my face in his hands again, kissing my forehead. "I'm very proud of you son, it took a lot of courage to do what you did back there."
"He just forgot to lock me up like he normally did. I got the hell out of there as fast as I could, the more I ran the more the fear and panic grew in me. Somehow he'd come out of nowhere and It'd be over." The more I recount about that night in my head, how I ran and how cold I felt as I ran for my life. How he had forced himself on me over and over until I no longer could stay conscious. All the images just come back in a rush and I had to fight the sudden urge to gag.
"It's alright, don't push yourself Nobuchika." He tells me as he rubs my back and somehow it helps pass the urge to be sick. "My break is over but I'll come back later. Get some rest alright son." He kisses my forehead again before getting up and leaves the room. I want him to stay, I don't want to be left alone in here but I can't find my voice to say it and now I'm trapped with the voices in my head. The memories that just keep flashing up into my mind, I don't want to remember it. I just want to forget that it ever happened.
"Excuse me, a miss Akane Tsunemori wishes to see you?" The nurse from earlier brings me back to reality and all I can do is shake my head and with that she just leaves without another word.
The ticking of the clock on the wall is driving me nuts; it feels like an hour has passed but only ten minutes has. I start hearing Kagari's voice in the distance, by his tone he sounds frustrated so I guess that he's trying to argue his way in with the nurse at the desk to come and see me but the nurses are not letting him through no matter how much he raises his tone. Tsunemori must have told the others that I refused to see her or they were already with her to begin with…
I wonder what the nurse told Kagari because I can't hear him anymore but the way that he is, it wouldn't surprise me that Kunizuka followed him to pull him back to work. A few inspectors did try to discourage me when I picked Kagari to be a new enforcer for division one since he had been in isolation for more than half his life considering his young age, instead they tried to get me to pick an older man but I went with my initial idea anyway and it turned out that I had made the better choice. A week later the guy that I could have chosen had been placed in division three and had tried to kill one of the inspectors. I don't regret picking Kagari or any of the current enforcers, I wouldn't want any others to work with…
"If you thought by refusing visitors that it would keep me away, you got it damn wrong." Kougami's booming voice takes me out of my thoughts as I look up towards the entrance of the room; yeah Tsunemori told everyone figures…
"I just can't face any of them right now." Was all I was able to say and it was the truth, I don't feel like being asked a million bunch of questions and the fact that they know what happened to me just makes it the more awkward.
"Figured it was something like that, so how are you feeling?" He asks as he makes his way inside the room, going straight for the chair.
"Glorious…" I tell him as I catch a smirk on his face.
"Sarcasm… I'll take that as you're feeling better." He shoots back. Not sure that I feel better but considering how I don't remember much from earlier I can't argue with that, truth is that Kougami's probably right but I still feel like crap.
Silence then filled the room; the only thing I could hear was the ticking of that damn clock and the nurses at the front desk. Kougami just sat in the chair staring at the ceiling, not saying anything. I can tell he's not sure what to even say, I feel like when the nurses come by and even dad, it's as if they are all walking on a pile of needles around me as if I'm some ticking bomb that will explode at any moment. "Kougami… Tell me is he-"
He removes his attention from the ceiling and directed it towards me, I can tell just by looking at him, I know the answer but I want to hear him say it from his own mouth. "No, he got away… For your safety it's been decided that you'll stay here. You'll be able to heal at your own pace without having to worry that he'll come out of nowhere." That's what I was afraid that would happen… What kind of human being is he anyway? Those iron bars were solid and I know I locked that door so how on earth did he even manage to break free from there?
"Dime's here then?" I wish I had not asked that, by Kougami's expression he isn't and I feel a lump form in my throat…
"Dime's gone Gino. He was already dead when we searched your home. He had a broken neck, he didn't suffer Gino." I shouldn't be surprise at what Kougami said but still I was hoping that Dime might only have been injured. I just hope that he's right and Dime didn't suffer…
"He stole so much-…" I manage to say after swallowing that lump in my throat. He managed to steal so much from me in such a small period of time. Just thinking about all of that burns my eyes, I don't want to cry. I'm tired of it but all that he's taken away that was mine, it just hurts and I can't hold back the tears from coming out as I hide my face between my knees.
"… I know…" He says as I hear him get up from the chair and walk up to me putting his hand on my shoulder. "Your hue has improved since you got here so focus on that but I'll get him and I'll make him pay for what he did." He adds, without a doubt I can trust that Kougami will make him pay; I just don't want Kougami to stray further from the system. Sibyl must judge him, no matter how much I hate the man; we still have to go by the laws of the Sibyl system.
I dry the tears with my hands; yeah I guess that's something to look forward to that my hue is clearing up. I know that things could be worse, I don't seem to have any broken bones and my health seems to be fine but still it's not making me feel better.
"Did you know him Gino?" He suddenly asks me as if he didn't know exactly how but it was something that's been chewing up inside of him for a while now without a doubt.
"No… His voice was familiar but I don't recall meeting him. I only knew his brother when I saw him the day I was able to run away." I answer.
"His name is Seiho Yoshida; apparently he was a P.E teacher at the time we were in high school." Even as Kougami tells me that, I still don't have any memories of him. The name and his position he had just doesn't ring any bells and our P.E teacher was a woman and I never hung out much at the gym except for Kougami's kickboxing classes but I was always alone on the bench studying.
"I wonder what will happen to Hideki. He isn't normal, he's mentally handicap." I ask but the question was more to myself than Kougami. How will Sibyl judge him, the fact that he can't tell what is right from wrong can he still be viewed as a latent criminal? Does his hue even get cloudy? He was simply being manipulated by his brother into doing what he wanted without even realizing that what he was doing was hurting others.
"Akane found his body at the house."
"What?!" I wasn't expecting that and yet is it that surprising that he'd kill his own brother? He admitted to me before during when he was raping me that he killed his own parents; his reason had been because he simply felt like it. "He's insane…"
"That wasn't your fault."
"I know." I think it was always just a matter of time before he'd kill Hideki, when he would no longer be of any use to him but still, no sane human being could be this cruel and brutally murder his own family without any remorse what so ever. I wonder what color is his hue; it has to be completely black. If everything he told me was true then his psycho-pass must be extremely high, probably the highest that's ever been recorded to date.
"Gino just promise me this; don't try to kill the pain with more pain." I can't help but glare at him for that one. Seriously I'm on edge, I'm nervous, frustrated, angry even and maybe even losing my mind at moments but do I really have written on my face that I would actually try to hurt myself?
"Kou I'm not suicidal. If I wanted to kill myself I would have done it already… I've seen enough crimes to know how easy it is to die; I want to live that he can't take away from me." I quickly reply. I could have bashed my head on the wall back there if I wanted to, bashed it hard enough in consecutive blows and that would have done the trick but that would only mean that I would have allowed him to win.
"Good." He replied with a sound of relief in his tone.
"But that damn clock is about to die though." If I have to hear that ticking for one more minute I swear to god that I will throw a tantrum, I'd rather hear Kagari fight with his cursed computer than hearing that tick tock over and over again.
"That can be arranged." He tells me with a grin on his face and I just know what he'll do. I say go right ahead, maybe the nurses will let me leave this room quicker.
