Rei tossed and turned in his bed, the blanket wrapping itself around him with each toss. A bright light flickered on blinding him even with his eyes closed. He moved his face further into the pillow shielding his eyes. The blanket, now completely wrapped around his body kept him still and his arms trapped by his sides. Hot air softly brushed past the top of his head making his hair tickle the side of his face and nape of his neck.

After many failed attempts at trying to hide from the annoying distraction, Rei struggled to unwrap himself from the blanket. A soft giggle made Rei open his eyes, only to be met with darkness. His head snapped to the left, his face free from the pillow, only to be met with the harsh artificial light blinding him once again.

Squinting a few times to get his bearings, Rei came face to face with a smiling Mao.

“Arghhh” Rei found himself staring up at his apartment ceiling lying on the floor. Mao’s face came into view, her hair dangling down past her head.

Her face showed concern but her eyes gave away her amusement. It didn’t take long before she fell back on the bed laughing loudly. Rei sat up peering over the top of the bed watching the strange pink haired woman.

“What are you doing here?” Mao turned to him, her laughing slowly turning into a snicker, “Actually, how did you even get in here?” Rei’s confusion piled up with questions.

“How are you sure I’m even here?” a smirk graced her flawless face.

She moved to the end of the bed, their faces inches away from each other, “You’re the doctor, shouldn’t you know the answer?” Rei’s mouth went dry as Mao slowly moved her face closer to his. He watched her eyes close just as her lip touched his.

His mind seemed to leave his body at that point.

Pulling away from the kiss Mao couldn’t help but laugh at Rei’s expression. With his eyes opened wide, tears had begun to build in the corners desperately pleading Rei to blink, and his mouth slightly open from the shock, you would think someone had just slapped him….or kissed him. Either way it was an amusing sight, well Mao thought so.

She waited patiently untill Rei recovered.

“I’m dreaming, I must be, I know I am” Rei sat down on the edge of the bed, Mao settling next to him.

Rei turned to the pink haired girl quietly sitting next to him, on his bed, in his room, at his apartment.

“How did you get in here?”

“I thought we said I wasn’t here, that this is a dream, remember?” she smiled sweetly, enjoying the torment Rei was going through in his head.

“Oh. Then why are you in my dreams?”

“It’s your dream.” She shrugged.

They sat in silence for a little while longer untill Mao broke the silence.

“Wanna kiss again?” Rei fell off the bed.

Once again staring up at the ceiling with Mao looking down on him, Rei faded off into his thoughts, ‘I must be dreaming, it’s just my subconscious telling me something….like im a pervert.’

“Arghh what is wrong with me!” pulling at his hair he screamed in frustration.

“Don’t do that,” Mao straddled Rei’s waist yanking at his hands to stop destroying his hair, “I love your hair. It’s so soft and beautiful.” She ran her hands through Rei’s hair over his scalp, the soft touches calming him down.

Before he realised it, Rei’s hand was making its way towards Mao’s face. Stopping suddenly from surprise he noticed Mao’s yellow orbs gazing sweetly at him, his fingers brushed past her soft cheek to rest on the nape of her neck. Slowly pulling her towards him their lips met once again in a soft loving kiss.

The kiss became more heated as hands roamed over each others bodies. The top buttons on Rei’s shirt popped open easily under Mao’s hands.

“Bed?” she said breathlessly, with a quick nod from the other she pulled him up and fell back down on the bed their legs quickly tangling up in the bed sheets.

Rei kissed and nibbled across her jaw-line down her neck before settling at Mao’s collarbone. Rei felt the moan under his lips before his ears even heard it. He lifted his head to watch her. Her head was thrown back exposing her neck even more, a loud throaty moan passed her lips and Rei went to turn back to his previous activities only to spot two puncture wounds to the left side of her neck.

A purplish bruise had formed around the wound and dried specks of blood seemed to cover the holes like a seal. Rei ran his fingers over the bruise feeling her pulse strongly under his finger-tips. Mao went ridged and before Rei could ask her what happened he found himself be pushed to the side off the bed. His head collided with the bedside table and darkness faded over his eyes.

*~*

Rei groaned his shoulders and back were all stiff, his bed seemed to have gotten a lot harder since he last remembered. An image of Mao past through his mind and his eyes opened wide to see his carved ceiling. His apartment was eerily quiet; the silence almost seemed like a blanket trying to suffocate him.

Sitting up slowly he made note that he was alone ‘So it was a dream….damn’ standing up even slower her stretched out the kinks and sores in his body.

A faint knock at his front door made him stop and think, turning around he took in the time flashing on his alarm clock, 7:10AM.

“Too early for visitors” the knocking continued as Rei made his way through his apartment to the front door “I’m coming, im coming” he shouted.

Finally reaching the door he noticed all the noise going on outside, grouchy rough voices were coming from the hallway, barking off orders Rei couldn’t quite figure out. When he did actually open the door, he wished he hadn’t.

A young man around his own age stood a bit taller before him. He had vibrant red hair which was sticking out in all directions under his cap. His blue eyes were staring directly towards Rei; a huge smile was on his face. Rei noticed his teeth, they seemed perfect and white, almost like the celebrities on television.

‘Maybe he comes from a rich family, but then…’ Rei looked at the blue police uniform the man before him wore.

Gazing over his shoulder he saw more men and women wearing the same uniform. They were scuffling about the hallway and Rei saw the man with the grouchy voice. A tall buff man standing beside another flat door was glaring at some of the rookie looking officers, he didn’t seem too happy about being there. He wasn’t wearing a uniform like the others, just a simple white shirt and white washed jeans.

A small cough of attention brought Rei back to his situation, the cop standing in his door was still smiling but didn’t look all too happy about being ignored either.

“What happened?” Rei’s curiosity got the best of him.

“Are you Dr. Rei Kon from F36?” the other asked, ignoring Rei’s own question.

“Yes I am, did something happen?” Rei tried again.

“I’ll have to ask you to come down to the station for questioning Doctor.” Rei didn’t seem to have a choice.

Tears formed at the corners of Takao’s eyes as he stifled another yawn. He gave out a squeak as he swallowed, trying to keep his mouth closed. At the sound, Yuiry looked up from his bowl of porridge.

“Didn’t get much sleep?” Yuiry himself was struggling to keep his eyes open, and Takao’s constant yawning was making it more difficult.

“Not really. Nightmares” Takao added.

They were both silent for a moment, the topic was well known around the hospital, but that didn’t mean people liked to talk about it.

“You look tired too Yuiry.” Yuiry’s eyelids were drooping; his back was slouched as if gravity was dragging him down, “Although you look happier today?”

The corner of his red lips curved the slightest, almost unnoticeable, but Takao saw it, “He’s not mad at me.” Yuiry stated.

Takao smiled and the heavy melancholy resting on the room seemed to lift, leaning over the table so only Yuiry could hear him, he whispered, “See? I told you things would be alright, you were just over-reacting.”

“I know you said that but….” Yuiry trailed off, he was suddenly feeling bad about not believing in his friends earlier. A giggle made him turn back to Takao who was obviously trying to stifle his laughter.

“You remind me of a girl with a crush on the most popular guy in school” as Yuiry’s face turned as red as his hair Takao’s laughter escaped his mouth. The laughter echoed through the entire dinning room.

“Please don’t be so loud while were having breakfast Takao, Yuiry!” an old nurse came up from behind Takao.

Her hair was tied back tightly into a bun; wisps of gray hair tell-tailing of her old age ran under her nurses’ cap. Her hollow cheeks were dusted with faint blush and hers lips painted with bright red lipstick made her skin seem even paler then Yuiry’s. The blue nurses’ outfit hanged off her bony figure and the only thing that seemed to fit properly were the white elbow length gloves.

“Were sorry, we’ll keep it down” Yuiry answered, keeping his eyes down. The old nurse stared at him a little while longer before moving on to yell at other patients.

“Ugh, I hate that old hag. I wish she would retire already” Takao grumbled and went back to eating his porridge.

Yuiry went back to his own breakfast looking at it distastefully, “I just wished they’d stop serving porridge. It’s horrible, why can’t we have eggs and bacon?”

A few of the others sitting around them agree, “Yeah! Im sick of porridge!” more of the kids in the dinning room joined in voicing their own opinions and menu options. It didn’t take long before the nurses had to step in and calm them down. With all the commotion going on Yuiry and Takao quickly ate and exited the room before they were blamed for anything. That was the last thing they wanted.

Walking into the main common room, the two spotted only one person in the room sitting in the far corner. Kenny’s brown bushy hair was the only thing visible behind the laptop screen.

“I still can’t believe they let you keep that in here” Takao and Yuiry approached the other boy.

“After what happened the first time, I don’t think they have the guts to take it away.” Takao smiled at Yuiry’s comment, but unfortunately it was true.

When Kenny arrived at BBA Hospital, the first thing they had done was confiscate his laptop. That was a bad idea. No one had expected the polite, sweet young boy to set loose a virus on the hospitals main computer board that threatened to delete their entire network. It didn’t take them long to give in to his demands, he would fix the virus problem in exchange for his laptop back. Seemed like a small compensation.

Yes, Kenny’s arrival was quite an eventful and entertaining week.

“Good morning Takao-kun, Yuiry-san” Kenny closed the computer as the two of them sat down beside him, “Is there anything planned for the day?”

The hospital normally had a daily schedule. The schedule held activities of all kinds to keep the kids entertained untill lights-out.

“There’s a bus going to the park later on today” Takao was jumping up and down on the edge of his seat. It had been some time since he had left the hospital grounds.

Even Kenny looked excited “I hope it’s not to cold, I’d love to go to the park” his smile brightened at Takao agreed.

“You should join up now” Yuiry piped in “You don’t want to miss out”

Their excitement came to a sudden stop as the two realised their mistake. Yuiry wasn’t allowed to leave on the Bus Trips.

Kenny tried his best to fix the mood “Uhh, no I think its going to be too cold. It would be better if we stayed in, don’t want to catch a cold huh Takao?” he turned to his friend for support.

“Yeah I agree, plus there an art class with that Oliver guy. That was lots of fun last time” Takao smiled, but it only seemed to damper the mood.

Both Kenny and Takao kept coming up with other ideas for the day but were stopped by Yuiry “You should go, I know you both want too,” his soft voice came out as a plea “Go to the park, and tell me about everything when you get back, okay?”

Takao sighed in defeat; he knew there wasn’t much he could do to cheer up the red-head, “What will you do?”

“I’ll join the art class” Yuiry’s eyes were back on them and he seemed to have returned to his previous state.

“Well then, we should go sign up Takao” Kenny turned to the bluenette “If we don’t hurry all the seats will be filled.”

All three stood up but headed in two different directions.

“Hey do you think the nurses will let us take pictures to bring back to Yuiry?” Takao pondered as he and Kenny headed to the nurses station.
