A truly suffocating room. The sound of beeps. Rushing of people and the drops of liquid following the phase of gravity one by one as they reach into the arm.
A light source right above him causing the red in his closed eyes. But not as red as the blood piped into his veins, Yaku wakes up in a somewhat comfortable bed but in an uncomfortable position. He moves his arms but gets haunted by pain. His arms were filled with needles.
Around him were doctors and the beeping sound was coming from a heart monitoring machine.
He looks at the pipes connecting on his arms. Something was odd about them. They were sucking blood instead of giving it.
Putting in the energy he could consume, he asks,
"What are you doing with my blood? Are you taking it without permission?"
The doctors looked at him in confusion.
He took their silence as a yes and got up, ejecting all the needles and cutting the pipes, making all the blood fall on ground.
The doctors tried to stop him but he signed them to stay where they were.
Concentrating on the holes caused by needle, he sucked all the blood back in.
While he is on it, his very loving teacher, Miss Akane comes in.
She looks at him in surprise.
"What are you doing?" she asks politely. But that politeness was giving weird vibes.
He quickly turns to her.
"Good evening ma'am, How do you do!?" he asks formally.
"Stop acting like that, also you have scared the doctors with your actions. Care to explain?"
He looks at their terrified faces and sighs.
"They were sucking out my blood without my permission...(I wouldn't mind if it was you sucking it out directly though)" he says in a low voice,
*Smack*
He receives a justified strike on his head,
"They were sucking out the blood because it was flowing too fast. A normal person would have overheated or something. It was not healthy even if it has no effect on you. They can't slow the pressure, so they decided to lower the volume. But somehow you are pulling it all back in. You are not even in a contract anymore, Care to explain?"
Just when he opened his mouth to breathe in air to get the energy to speak, Sonia too enters the room.
"He is now a saint." she says.
"What?"
"Not complete saint though. He has his consciousness so its possible the source just use him as a vessel." she explains as she takes off her sunglasses.
"Why would any source do that?" Akane asks.
"Maybe they got bored. So now they are using his life as an entertainment resource. But only powerful general level sources can do it. And if he can use the abilities like blood control too, maybe he can learn every technique of the saint."
"Will that be of any good?"
"Yes, there is a technique to enter the other dimension. The dimension where these boxes come from. It is the most difficult technique to learn and only a few sources can do it. So there is a good chance that he can learn it."
Yaku raises his hand for attention.
"I think you all are forgetting my choice."
Sonia looks in his eyes and asks
"Do you have any desires to live."
"No." he obediently replies.
"So you don't get a choice."
"Got it." he gets humbled quickly.
"Ahem, now that its settled, can I take him back to school?" Akane asks.
"He looks fine so I don't see a reason to stop him. But we will keep an eye on him." Sonia replies.
Yaku hops out of his bed and looks at him uniform.
"There is no blood because I sucked it all, but I still need a new uniform. This one is filled with holes." he complains.
"Right right, stop complaining, I will lend you a uniform but first come with me to the school. My car is right outside."
Yaku falls down, dramatically.
"Oh suddenly I can't walk. Weird, isn't it? So can you take me to the car in your arms?" he requests Akane innocently.
*Smack*
"Walk yourself, idiot."
After a 20 minutes car drive, they were in the school.
Because of the emergency, the student stayed there. They made tents to stay away from bugs and those who were injured stay in the nurse room which was still good in structure.
As they got in, some students came to receive Akane as she was overlooking the students. Along with those students who came for Akane, there were some who came for Yaku.
There were 2 girls. They came to Yaku and grabbed his tie.
"What is it?" he coldly asks.
That voice gave them breezes. But they resisted it. They were persistent,
"You pushed her, didn't you? Cutting your hair won't hide it."
Yaku had cut his hair because they got burnt by the bullet. Now the hair wasn't too big nor too small. Medium length wavey hair.
"Push who?" he asks.
"Mie."
The moment he heard that name, he somewhat raged up.
Grabbing the arm of one of the girls roughly, he shouts.
"WHERE IS SHE?!"
Trembling as if she was threatened, she replied.
"I-in in t-the nurse r-room."
He pushes her aside and rushed to the nurse room.
As he gets there, he slams open the door just to feel disappointment. There was no nurse, she already ran away. And the people taking care of the injured were mere students who were goofing around, playing cards game.
The rumors of Yaku had already spread a lot so the students inside also recognized him and were terrified by the beastly entrance.
He ignored all the self proclaimed doctors and went straight to Mie,
She was unconscious, but even while sleeping, she shined, She shined like snow white who was poisoned, and was waiting for her prince. But unfortunate for her, her prince was a rather berserk one.
She saved her head; it was injured not too deeply. Her back was in a worse condition. The bone was safe, but it would still hurt because the flesh was not in a good condition. Afterall, she fell from 10 feet, on concrete. It's miracle that her face was untouched.
But her treatment was nowhere good enough. Even the bandages were loose.
"Don't take responsibility if you can't even do it correctly." he tells the students in a strict tone.
They got furious with the complain.
"We tried ok?" one of them says.
"You really think trying is enough? THEY CAN DIE YOU IDIOTS!" he shouts.
No one dared to talk back again.
He fixed the bandages and put a cold towel on her forehead because she was also sick. He wiped the blood off her and cleaned her as much as he could.
"She could get infection; the hell are these guys doing."
While he was cleaning the dirt and blood from her, the two girls from before entered the room. And insanely started screaming.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH HER?"
"Shut up and stay right there." he answered and continued with the cleaning.
After finishing the treatment, he leaves the room quietly.
(She and you have same compatibility with blood)
"Oh, you can say stuff in my mind?"
(Of course, I can communicate.)
"So what should I call you?"
(You can name me anything.)
"You are optimistic and wild. I'll name you Ayaka."
(Oh, I like that.)
