62 3.19- Confrontation...and The Surrender of the Will.

Thursday, 18th May 1995

I went back to school on Thursday morning right before I reminded the nurses repeatedly to call me anytime, regardless the time whether I'm in school or not when Akira wakes up as I turned to leave and head for school.

Special arrangements were being made for me since the landlord had packed my school bag and delivered it to me personally along with my school uniform that had been freshly pressed on Wednesday evening.

Both the landlord and his wife had somehow regarded me as their step-son as they knew I do not mix with those people who have ill-reputation. And according to the teachers, I had good grades as well and was a quiet student in school except on the futsal field.

My parents, however, were on a world tour to promote their findings in scientific researches that they had been doing so for the past 20 years. Their names were well known with several universities around the world where they were used to be invited for talks on their findings as well as their books.

They never had time for me but made money as an excuse to show concern and affection. Well, it's alright... I won't mind since I am just passing through this body as a carrier and be making the Leap when the time comes.

After school hours, I decided to meet with Ayumi, the President of Sports Committee out of respect rather than the obligation that I had to fulfil after she tried to stick her tongue down my throat.

By 3:20 pm I was told by the school's receptionist that the Ayumi had not entered her office. So I whiled the time away by looking at the photos inside my mobile phone instead. I called up the hospital regards to Akira's progress and after receiving their report, I hung up before saying that I would be returning there after school.

Ayumi finally entered the General Office and she somehow seductively slides her finger under my chin as she walked towards me. "Give me 5 minutes to clear my paperwork..." she told me in a monotone manner like as if the seduction did not happen at all. I smirked when I felt her touch and managed to turn away.

I simply nodded and waited for 5 minutes before I knocked on the door and let myself in.

" Sit down... "

She offered... NO...! Its more like commanded me to sit on the plush armchair opposite her but instead, I remained standing up. I do not wish to be a pushover with her.

"Forget about the Sports and academic sponsorship, I'm not interested in them anymore... If you are here to talk about the remunerations package, use it as a fundraiser for Akira's recovery and expenses in the hospital... I have no interest in the personal monetary gains at all too."

I told her off in the manliest fashion as I could. It is not that I do not need the money but I'd rather see it as crowdfunding to raise money to support Akira's medical expenses. It costs ¥12,000 for a day of hospital stay and inclusive of medicine, treatment and doctors' daily visits.

I had made a request to my parents who were in New York to wire a sum of ¥360,000 a month for 6 months for the medical expenses in case there are any shortages whatsoever. I instructed them to transfer the money directly to Akira's name at Ookuma Hospital. At least my parents won't think I'd use to pay up some Yakuza members et cetera.

"Alright, Shiro... That's fine if you wish to create crowdfunding for Akira. I'm not a steel-hearted girl you know... I will initiate the crowdfunding from tomorrow onwards. I always consider Akira as my swimming mate, of course, I would like to help her and her family to ease the medical expenses...Your personal remuneration for the Futsal tournament; an amount of ¥23,000 will be the initial pool for the crowdfunding... "

I raised my eyebrows when I heard those words coming from her especially the incident that she had left with a rather negative perspective by Akira's aunt.

"Also if it is your desire to release the sponsorship of the Sports and academic, I won't have much to say and respect your decision. It will be scrapped from now. Look here, is this your signature on both the agreements? I'm going to shread them now in witness to you... "

She handed me the previous documents that I had signed and countersigned by hers truly, I nodded that this was the documents that I need it to be done with. She inserted the whole stack of papers into her portable paper shredder and the deed is done.

"Now, tell me... From the bottom of your heart and through your thick skull... Are you going to wait forever for Akira to awake from her coma?"

"Yes, President-sama, even if you had never asked me, I would not give up on her and would wait no matter how long for Akira to come to her senses..."

"Ookuma General Hospital comes under my parents' power, I just want you to understand the situation at hand here...with just a single injection, any patient would slip away from unconsciousness right into the abyss of death..."

I was shocked at the thought of this! How could she have a dark black heart?!? Even to the extent of ordering the nurse to administer a lethal injection, or even herself if she is capable enough!! Omagai...

"Your winnings will be used as the start of the crowdfunding for our dear friend, Akira. Next, your desire to forgo the sponsorships for academic and sports had been nullified. And now all I want is just small favour if you truly love Akira..."

BLACKMAIL...!!! I screamed the thoughts in my head as u try not to fidget and look nervous. She rose from her seat and took the bamboo kendo stick that was beside her table, lifted it over her shoulders and walked towards me.

She walked towards me with a seductive pose and she ran her right fingertips on my shoulder and I suddenly sprang into a battle mode stance and faced her. My left palm open towards me as my right hand was in ready mode to strike.

"Relax, baby...you think I'm gonna hit you with this? You got fire in your soul and ready to spring like a tiger at your opponents and breath fire like a dragon on them from a distance...That's what I like about you... Reserved and collected. Your desire to survive is rather strong and your heart will never admit defeat... I wonder how you would perform in bed..."

I never let my eyes off her hands and the way she prances around me. I was numb to whatever her words for right now Sam Mulder is facing off with a nemesis with a heart so black, it was darker than the night without stars above. Simply put it was blacker than black.

'Tell me, Shiro... What is the meaning of this ring that you had bought for me and slip it into my finger... It is a sign that you would want to spend your whole life with me right? Who in the world would spends thousand of yen just for a ring and especially for a girl like me, whom many boys are going after but no one is of my liking except you, Shiro... "

"I don't want to know about all that. You better take back your words against Ookuma General Hospital matters to them and not harbour any harm against Akira. What did she do to get this treatment? Did you also plant the plan for the accident?"

"Hahahahaha... Money makes wonders and moves things against their will as they succumb towards the desire to grasp them. Greedy fools... I never say I did nor I never said I don't..."

"YOU...!!!!" I screamed and I lunged forward at her aiming her throat with my right hand. She just picked her kendo stick that she was carrying on her shoulders and just stab it at my throat instead and made me bend over and clutch my throat, gasping for air....!!

I raised my hand to stop what she was doing. Dammit... I was stupid to rush at her knowing that she had a weapon in hand... How dumb could I be...?!?

Tears were soon cascading my face like a cup of water that was filled to the brim... "Tell me what I have to do next... Promise... NO... Swear to me that you will not harm Akira in any manner...!! I pleaded through my hoarse and squeaky voice.

She walked towards me, used her kendo stick and raised my chin and she squatted down in front of me.

"I swear upon my ancestor's tomb that I will never harm Akira in any manner... But what I'm going to ask from you is to stay clear of Akira once you got to taste the forbidden fruit... I want you to be the tiger and be the dragon when the time comes, honey... "

As long as Akira is safe and not being harmed in any way, I'd have to do it no matter how much I loathe against it. I won't have to agree to her first but I need to make sure Akira is well-taken care even if she does not come out of her coma soon.
