A/N: I bring you the fourth chapter of this story of crap. I never knew how hard it was to describe the sound of high heels. My brain just stopped and didn't give me any words! So enjoy.
"Oh, good. I'm glad you're awake, Satoshi-san," said Tamako cheerfully from above the raven haired boy. Satoshi flinched at her closeness and sat up quickly. Tamako laughed softly at him. Satoshi noticed she was back to being cheery again, when earlier she had acted so dead. Tamako offered her hand to help him up, but Satoshi stood up on his own.
"Kurenai-sama would like to see you. It's very important," Tamako said with a grin. The blond seemed nice and friendly, but Satoshi didn't trust her. Tamako's facial expression change dramatically.
"What do you mean you don't trust me? That's a mean thing to think!" Tamako growled, annoyed. Satoshi was shocked. She could read his mind. But how?
"That's none of your damn business! Now get moving. Kurenai-sama doesn't like to wait." Tamako motioned towards the door. When Satsohi did not move, she grabbed him by the arm and pushed him out of the room. Tamako stomped out of the small room behind him and hurried down the stairs, not looking back. Satoshi felt maybe that it wasn't the smartest thought he could've thought of. Satoshi started down the stairs after her at a slower pace. By the time he had reach the bottom, Tamako was nowhere to be found. It was completely empty.
Satoshi stepped into the hallway. Nobody was there. He remembered he had been escorted from the left hallway. But there was still a considerable amount of hallway if one went further on. Satoshi double checked again to see if anyone was coming. When he was certain there was no one, he ran off down the hall, as quietly as he could. As he ran he looked for any openings. A door, window, anything. But it was completely bare.
He kept running, running for what seemed like forever; there was no way to tell how far he had gotten. He had to slow down eventually, for he was out of breath. Satoshi began to think that this had been a bad idea since it took a lot of running to get him out of breath and it had all had lead him nowhere. He stopped to momentarily catch his breath. He noticed himself shivering slightly. The hallway was still freezing as it was before, and Satoshi was still shirtless.
After a minute of catching his breath, he began to run again, but at a slightly slower pace so he wouldn't run out of steam as quickly. The hallway continued to be empty and white and seemed to have no end in sight. Suddenly, he saw something up ahead it seemed like stairs. Hopeful, the young boy hurried up. When Satoshi reached the stairs, he looked up. The stairs didn't lead up to far up, but it was still someplace. He ran up the stairs, two at a time. At the top of the winding staircase was a white door. Satoshi opened it up a crack and peered in. It was a white room, small like a closet. It was empty. He slowly stepped inside. The room was completely white, and looked similar to the one he had been in earlier. He took a step further in and stepped onto something. He bent over a picked up the white material that had been laying on the floor; it was a white lab coat. The one Tamako had given him.
"Wait. That doesn't make sense. I just came from there... er here." Satoshi realized he had gone in a giant circle, but how could he have? He hadn't turned and the corridor had been completely straight and unbending. It didn't... no this whole place didn't make any sense. The boy put on the coat in attempt to warm himself a little in the freezing conditions. He looked out of the the room. Why didn't Tamako wait for him? The dark haired boy sighed. He had no idea how much time had passed since he had first left, but it was more than a short time, he knew that. Figuring he had no other choice, he exited the room and slowly walked down the stairs to find try and find Kurenai's office.
This time he walked to the left hall, hoping she would take getting lost would be a good excuse for being so late. He walked this time, trying to get rid of his red face before he got there. About what he assumed to be halfway there(he remembered around how long the first trip had taken), he heard a small undefinable sound. Satoshi turned around quickly. The hallway was as empty as usual and there was nothing that could've fallen down. Satoshi figured the brightness of the white had gotten to him and he was starting to hear things. He turned around and continued walking.
Not long after starting to walk again, the sound came again. Certain his mind was playing a trick on him, he kept walking forward. It came again and again, growing louder and clearer. Satoshi looked over his shoulder to see nothing once shook his head, trying to clear his mind. The further he went, the louder and more continuous the sound came. Soon, after the sounds began to become more distinct, Satoshi recognized the sound. He knew the sound from when he had to wear them on occasions. Not just footsteps, but footstep with heels. He stopped walking and looked all around for any trace of anyone. There were footsteps but no source. Satoshi, holding his breath, bolted down the hall, trying to get away from the invisable source. He kept running but the sound followed, although not as loud. Eventually it faded. Satoshi ran a few more steps until he realized where he was. He had finally made it to Kurenai's office. Satoshi exhaled as he tried to figure out how the door opened. He remember the door had opened automatically when he had left the room, but now it wasn't opening at all. He was puzzled. Suddenly, a chill ran down his cold back.
"Having trouble?" Kurenai said calmly from behind him. Satoshi spun around to see the red eyed woman standing there, expressions unreadable. How'd she sneak up on him. With as straight as the halls were, he should have been able to see her. He looked down and noticed she was wearing black heels. Satoshi looked up at the taller woman, avoiding her eyes. Kurenai smiled slightly.
"You're late," she said simply. Satoshi gulp, hoping his excuse would work.
"I got lost on the way h-" Satoshi didn't get a chance to finish as the woman punched him in the face. He never expected such a skinny, pale woman to have much strength at all, but it felt like he had been hit in the face with a brick. Satoshi fell to one knee and held his cheek in his hand. In his mouth, he tasted the blood. Kurenai, angered, proceeded to grab him by the neck. Satoshi gasped as her nails dug into his throat. It felt like all the air had been instantly sucked from his body as he struggled to breath. Kurenai raised him up, so that he could stand on both feet. She let go and shoved him into the white metal door with a loud bang. Her strength was insane. She grabbed him by the wrist with a little less force as the door opened by her raised palm. She dragged him into the white room and pushed him towards one of the metal tables.
"Sit." Satoshi, panting, quickly sat onto the table, hand gently rubbing his neck. His whole body was shaking as the woman closed the door behind them. Kurenai had her back to him for a moment before speaking again.
"If I do recall correctly, did you not say that you would cooperate?" Kurenai asked softly, trying to keep herself from shouting again. Satoshi noticed both her hands were clenched into shaking fists. Satoshi found himself unable to speak. "If so." Kurenai spun around to face him, her red eyes filled with rage. It seemed to take her only a mere second for her to reach him, but before he could register what was happening, he felt her hands on his wrists, shoving him down onto the table. A pain rushed into his head, as it forcefully met the metal. Satoshi winced at the pain. He opened his amber eyes and looked up to see the woman on top of him, faces only inches apart. He felt her hands guiding his as she spoke through clentched teeth.
"Why did you try and escape?" the woman asked rhetorically. She smirked at his surprise. She brought down her hand and lightly slapped his face, not enough force to cause any pain. She took a finally deep breath before getting off him and walked off to the other part of the room. Satoshi tried to sit up but couldn't. He looked up and noticed his arms had been bound to either side of the metal table. He pulled his arm, trying to break loose, but the restraints were done tight.
Kurenai was searching through a drawer looking at different objects that Satoshi couldn't see. He couldn't felt feel fear coursing through his body as she began to giggle. He had a bad feeling as she placed several items into her coat pocket. Closing the drawer, she turned and walked back over to him, obviously not as angry as she was moments ago, although she didn't exactly look like Mrs. Sunshine. She bent down close to him, and wrapped a lock of his raven black hair around her finger.
"I am going to enjoy this," she whispered almost inaudibly into his ear, causing a shiver down his spine. She ran a single finger down his chest and abdomen before reaching down into her pocket. She pulled out a small, football shaped object.
"You may need this," Kurenai said as she stuffed it into the boy's mouth. It tasted like rubber and blood. Satoshi made an attempt to spit it out but it was stuck. The red eyed woman smile at his ailed attempt as she dipped into her pocket again. Slender fingers were wrapped around a syringe filled with a transparent teal liquid. She pushed the boys head back forcefully, causing the boy more head as she put his neck at an uncomfortable position. She peirced his skin and stuck the needle into his carotid, injecting the serum into his artery as slowly as possible. She pulled out the syringe and wiped away the small droplet of blood from the hole. Kurenai released her grip on his head, letting his neck go back into it's proper position. She placed it on the table as jotted something down on a tablet if paper.
Satoshi at first felt no different, except for where she had poked him. Slowly, a small pain blossomed in his neck, it was small, but felt like the muscles in his neck were tearing. The pain spread down his neck to his shoulder, growing in ferocity. By the time it had reached his chest, which was only a few second, it felt like molten lava was running through his veins, burning his insides. It spread like wildfire; soon his whole body was engulfed in pain. The pain grow worse, causing his body to violently shake. He bit down onto the ball in his mouth as it escalated. The pain morphed from what seemed to be lava to electricity, an electrical current that would have made his Pikachu's thunderbolt feel like a tickle. It felt like his body was being roasted alive. He let out a loud, muffled scream as every part of his body was electricuted. He desperately struggled to free his arms from their restraints as hot tears flowed from his widened eyes. The boy never had experienced this kind of pain as his head felt like it was about to be split into two. Black and red smeared his view of pure white. He began to gasp for oxygen as his lungs felt empty. Satoshi wished the pain would kill him; it was too unbearable. Suddenly, the current simply stopped. His body became limp and still as he struggled to restart the breathing process. The pain had left a strange tingling sensation throughout him and several parts of him were twitching. His breathing evened out as the pained dulled until it disappeared.
Kurenai watched the boy as his chest rise and fell. He was able to regaining normal breathing pattern. She jotted down some notes as she surpressed a laugh. She walked over to the sweat covered boy and felt his pulse. It was racing, but not to any dangerous point. Satoshi saw the twisted woman above him looking at him with her reddened eyes before he felt himself slipping out of consciousness. Everything turned to black.
A/N: I was watching all three episodes were Satoshi crossdresses and just wanted to put that in there (I still fawn over Satoshi when he dresses as Satoko! He's so adorable!). So my story is finally going someplace. I don't know why it is so fun to torture that boy. Well please review! I really appreciate it!
