Stolen Breath

Chapter Five: Tranquilize

)) JUUNANA ((

The nurses here are just as bad as the doctors. What does the idiot want to do? Sedate me! I will not be sedated! Never!

"Go to hell," I growl in the direction of the nurse, my tone thick with fury. "You're not sedating me!"

"Sir, you're running a fever high enough to cause delirium. You're in no condition to argue with me." The nurse sounds insistent. Annoying wench. "Your parents aren't here to concede, but seeing as you told Mr. Briefs here that you're eighteen, we don't need their permission." Damn. For a second I'm almost angry at Him, but the thought is quickly brushed aside. He was only doing what He thought was right.

"You're not drugging me, whore. Take one step closer to me with a needle and I'll kill you," I promise, a warning hiss in my pitch.

"Excuse me?" The nurse sounds affronted. Good.

)) TRUNKS ((

My parents file in along with several doctors and nurses, and I have to hide my annoyance. Why do they have to come now?

"Trunks, what's going on?" my mother asks me, her eyes wide.

I shrug. "They want to sedate Jay and he-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU BASTARDS!" Jay's roar makes me wince, and my father raise an eyebrow. "IF YOU THINK YOU'RE DRUGGING ME, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!"

"Mr. Jay, please!" comes the voice of a nurse, sounding slightly frightened. "You shouldn't wave your arms around like that-look, you've ripped your IV out again.."

"LIKE HELL I'LL STOP. YOU ASSHOLES THINK YOU CAN TRANQUALIZE ME? I'LL KILL YOU ALL BEFORE YOU CAN CALL FOR SECURITY!"

The smirk on my father's face widens as the frown on my mother's face deepens.

"Um. Security?" comes the weak call of the same nurse. "We have a problem here.."

"Damn right you have a problem." Jay's voice is lowered to a dangerous tone. "I may be blind, but that won't stop me from snapping all of your necks."

"Mr. Jay!"

"DON'T MOVE! Stupid bitch, don't think I won't follow through with my promises. I SAID, DON'T MOVE! I, J-" My head feels as if it's about to explode, and I interrupt him.

"Jay?"

)) JUUNANA ((

I pause in mid-tirade, realizing how close I've come to revealing myself. "Y-yes, Trunks?"

"Could you please shut up? I have a horrible headache.." The plaintive note in His voice hits me like a punch to the stomach.

"Sorry. Of course I w- SHIT! YOU BITCH!" Something's piercing my flesh and I know it's a needle.

"Got him sir!" That damn little bitch..

"You.little." Already I feel the drugs taking effect, and I sink back onto my bed, my limbs turning to jelly. "I'll.kill.you."

)) TRUNKS ((

"You'll wake up soon, Jay," I call out as reassuringly as I can. "Don't worry."

"Little." comes the slurred response of my roommate. ".bitch. Trunks.."

"Good night, Jay," I say softly, and there is no reply.

)) JUUNANA ((

Trunks's name is the last word that falls from my lips before the drugs take complete control of me. That horrible darkness closes in on me as I hear His quiet reply, and then everything is darkness and loneliness.

)) TRUNKS ((

I listen, hoping for a last reply, but there is none, and slowly the nurses and doctors file from the room, leaving me with my parents and an unconscious Jay.

"Your friend seems.interesting," my mother manages to comment after a couple minutes of silence. Vegeta simply continues to smirk, though I can tell he agrees a little with Mom.

"He's a character," I agree, nodding a little as my headache slowly eases. "He's nice once you get to know him."

"Well, he certainly shut up once you asked him to," Bulma comments.

"Yeah, and look where that got him," I cannot help but mutter, frowning at the nurse's deception. "A nice tranquilizer in him."

"Well, on the plus side, he'll get rid of some of these damn nurses when he wakes up," Vegeta murmurs, earning a dirty look from my mother.

"The nurses are psycho. They smile all the time," I add, shrugging towards Bulma. "Even when saying stuff like, 'Oh, you have a concussion.' They're very insane. They're the ones who need to be sedated."

Any further conversation is interrupted by a beaming nurse bustling in and only proving my point.

)) JUUNANA ((

The darkness.. It is as if I'm dead again. All I have are my thoughts. No sensations, only utter night that surrounds me and hides any memory of light from me. I strain to recall His face, remember His bright smile, but all I can think of is the darkness, the way it seems endless. I labor to wake and get away from the darkness, but no avail.

I can't breathe, and there is an abrupt sensation. Pain. My lungs are burning, and I cannot take in any oxygen. My mouth opens to breathe-but there is no mouth and there isn't any air, and all there is, is the darkness.

)) TRUNKS ((

The nurse is checking my temperature when the soft whimpers begin, turning everyone's head towards the sheet blocking Jay's bed from us. The nurse actually frowns, looking puzzled.

"He should be out cold," she murmurs, before bustling over to the other side. Yet the whimpers continue, pained and terrified sounding.

"Jay?" I can't help but call, my heart suddenly pounding in my chest. The only reply is another faint whimper, and my palms begin to sweat. "What's that tranquilizer doing to him?!"

)) JUUNANA ((

My entire body which somehow exists for pain but nothing else is afire with agony. My lungs are ablaze, and every nerve in my body screams for release. I have to open my eyes to another type of darkness, another type in which I can picture Him and be safe-

The darkness is shifting now. Somehow, even though everything is utterly black, I know it's surrounding me, dragging me farther away from Trunks.

Have to fight. I have to stay with Him until He's out of the hospital.

)) TRUNKS ((

As the soft whimpers grow louder and hold more hurt and panic, I struggle from my bed, tugging the IV along to peek around the curtain. The nurse is bending over Jay, looking anxious as she feels his forehead. The unconscious boy frowns, tossing this way and that on his bed, the whimpers escaping his lips, which are pale with pain.

"Jay?" I whisper softly, pushing the nurse aside with much effort and leaning over the trembling young man, effectively blocking him from the sight of my parents, who I can tell are glancing around the curtain now.

)) JUUNANA ((

Wait. Amidst the pain, I hear something. A voice..

Him?

No, impossible. Why would He be in my nightmares?

Yet there the voice calls again, the darkness shying away from the soft call of my name so that the pain in my chest gradually eases.

I open my eyes.

)) TRUNKS ((

His eyes gaze blankly into my face, but he seems awake, for he whispers my name, sounding incredulous. My motions automatic, I take his warm hand in mine, patting the heated flesh.

"It looks like the nurses gave you the wrong type of tranquilizer," I cannot help but comment, continuing to pat his hand, which still trembles a little in mine.

)) JUUNANA ((

I attempt to smile, all too aware of His cool flesh against mine.

"I guess so," I say, although I know it's really because tranquilizers don't affect androids that long. After all, we aren't all that human anymore. I close my eyes for a moment, because the unseen light is making my eyes throb. "Shouldn't.shouldn't you be in bed?"

He laughs a melodic sound that makes me weakly smile. "I only have a concussion, Jay. All they're going to make me do is rest, so if I can screw up their plans every now and then, I'm quite willing to."

In the momentary silence which follows, I can hear the nurse's indignant huff.

Smiling, I don't open my eyes but reply nonetheless. "Have you gotten any sleep in the past few hours?"

"Not really," He admits after a moment, and I can almost sense His shrug and amused grin. "I'll make it up when I go home."

Home. My smiles slips from my lips. Ah yes, soon He will be back at Capsule Corp, and I will be stuck here in the hospital with these insane nurses and doctors. I stay silent.

)) TRUNKS ((

The fact that his smile is gone is all too obvious to me, and I cease my patting, instead taking his hand in mine.

"You have to have parents, or at the very least family that will be willing to put you up for a bit while the doctors run tests," I attempt to assure him, and again that harsh, bitter laugh.

"I'm not subjecting my sister to-" He stops dead, an almost horrified look flitting across his face.

"You have a sister?" I latch onto the fact, and his lips twist into an unpleasant look.

"She's married, and even has a kid. I'm not going to bother her," was his flat reply, his tone making me think he doesn't care for his sister's husband.

"If she's your sister, then she wouldn't mind taking care of you if it's for a couple weeks," I insist. "What's her name?"

)) JUUNANA ((

"I'm not telling you." I know my tone's rebellious, to Him of all people, but I can't tell Him Juhachi's name. Especially not while the nurse is here. After all, Juhachi is definitely not a normal name. "Go get some sleep, Trunks."

I hear Him sigh, and then His hands are no longer gripping mine. "First, do you want some water?"

I'm thirsty, but I want Him to get some rest. "I will once you have at least thirty minutes of sleep," I inform Him, hoping for a smile, unseen though it might be.

)) TRUNKS ((

I smile, a weak one, but a smile nonetheless.

"All right, I'm going, I'm going. Try and get some sleep yourself, Jay." The other boy doesn't reply as I return to my side of the room, where my mother is attempting to look innocent and my father wears an indescribable look on his face.

I sigh. This is definitely a long day..
