Wings of Salvation

Chapter Eleven

 

The black haired teen frowned, nervously biting at one of his nails. He couldn't help but think the worst. Why else would the doctor being asking Kagetsuya all those health related questions if he wasn't sick? `Please don't let him have the virus. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. I'm the one that brought him to the orphanage. He came because he wanted to be close to me.'

 

“Stop worrying, Chihaya. You're going to give yourself a migraine if you keep this up. I feel fine. I know I wasn't feeling well yesterday but I feel great now. In fact I feel better than great,” the blonde informed. He leaned to his side, giving his boyfriend a quick peck on the cheek.

 

The black winged angel smiled barely, refusing to allow himself reassurance until he heard it from the doctor's mouth. They made their way into the familiar building, eyes focused on the room in the back where the doctor and nurses had set up a make shift lab.

 

“Hello, Chihaya, Kagetsuya. How are you holding up?”

 

Both angels turned around, glancing at the nurse who had managed to come up behind them without their knowing.

 

“Hello Yukiko. I can only say nervous. Where's the doctor?” Chihaya asked the quiver evident in his voice.

 

The nurse smiled softly, as she gave them both a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “You're heading in the right direction. He's in the lab and waiting for both of you.”

 

The dark haired teen's heart pounded with each footfall. A hand slipped into his, squeezing gently. Any hopefully thoughts fled as Chihaya took one look at the doctor's face.

 

“He has it… doesn't he?” came the faint question.

 

All the younger male needed was the soft nod before he bolted out of the room, racing out of the building.

 

“Chihaya! Damn it,” Kagetsuya growled in frustration. He glared at the doctor before thrusting his arm in front of the man.

 

“Take it again.”

 

“I assure you the tests are accurate. You may feel fine now but the blood results do not lie,” the doctor explained.

 

“I don't care. I feel fine. I was sick before but I swear it was nothing but a bug. Now I suggest you take it again so that I can tell Chihaya the results were wrong,” the blonde stated firmly, blue eyes blazing in fury.

 

The doctor sighed inwardly, before he turned towards the table. As quickly as possible he set up the needle. He indicated for Kagetsuya to sit down. The man then tied his upper arm, hunting for the vein. With years of practice he pierced the vein, drawing the blood from the blonde's body.

 

“Now check it,” Kagetsuya instructed.

 

The older man rolled his eyes, knowing better than to mess with the upset blonde. `I don't know what this will prove, but if it will make them believe I suppose it's for the best.'

 

With precision he places several drops of the red liquid on the clear slide, before covering it up with another. He then slid it under the microscope, leaning over to gaze into it. He frowned, as he rubbed his blue eyes. He then took another look at the specimen, his mind in a state of utter confusion.

 

“Nurse, could you come in here for a minute,” he called out.

 

Within a couple minute Yukiko made herself show, entering the small laboratory. She glanced at them both, her gaze showing her bewilderment.

 

“What is it doctor?” she inquired.

 

“Could you look at this specimen for me? I believe lack of sleep is beginning to get to me,” the man informed.

 

Kagetsuya watched them both, praying that he was actually right in his initial declaration. The nurse leaned down, eyeing the slide.

 

“Is that Kagetsuya's blood?” she asked in puzzlement.

 

“I just right now took it from his arm,” the doctor answered.

 

The nurse turned pale. “But all of us checked his blood before. It was definitely infected before. How is this possible?”

 

“You two can try and figure it out all you want. I'm going after Chihaya,” the blonde teen announced, before bolting out of the room.

 

Kagetsuya quickly raced through the building. He refused to allow his confusion to cloud his mind as he desperately tried to figure out where his boyfriend would run off to. `I bet he's at the tree where we first kissed.' With that one thought in mind he made his way into the yard. He heard the heart shattering sobs before he even saw the dark winged angel.

 

`Oh Chihaya…' The blonde took one look at the tear stained face before gathering up the smaller figure in his arms.

 

“Why are you touching me? It's all my fault you're sick! You came to the orphanage to see me!” Chihaya screamed out, his voice straining as he struggled to breath through the tears.

 

Kagetsuya said nothing as he ran fingers through soft hair, using the end of his shirt to wipe off his lover's face. He then began to rock the distressed teen, murmured soft reassurances into his ears.

 

He waited patiently for the teen to settle down before speaking, “I love you. Even if I had gotten the virus I would still love you. Nothing is going to change that, you understand?”

 

“But… the doctor said…”

 

“I just had my blood checked again. They're both confused as anything but I don't have it. There must have been a mess up with the lab results from my first test,” Kagetsuya concluded.

 

“You're really not sick?” the dark winged angel asked in disbelief.

 

The blonde gazed at him. “Look at what we did last night. Those are not the actions of an unhealthy individual.”

 

The other male blushed at the comment, hiding his head in Kagetsuya's chest.

 

The blonde couldn't help but laugh at the action, kissing him on the top of the head. “Are you going to be ok now?”

 

Chihaya sighed as he wiped his face again. “I think so. All I could think about when I thought you had the virus was `This is my fault. These black wings can only lead to death.' I'm so used to everyone thinking these wings are evil that even I started to believe it. No matter how hard my dad tried to prove me wrong.”

 

Kagetsuya sighed as he kissed the other male on the lips. “You're father is right you know. Those wings make you different, but in a good way. Everyone has to be different from each other or else Eden would be a very boring place indeed. Your wings make you very special. They're actually quite beautiful. They shimmer different hues of purple in the sunlight. It's your gentle, caring personality that I love. I could care less what your wings look like. Just be yourself, that's all that I ask for.”

 

“Thank you,” Chihaya whispered.

 

“Now I think its time the both of us got back inside. I think the doctor and nurse are both going nuts trying to figure out this blood work,” Kagetsuya announced.

 

The dark haired individual nodded before standing up. The blonde followed suit, before taking the other male's hand in his. They then made their way back into the orphanage.

 

“You two get back in here right now. We have got to figure this out. This could be the cure for the virus,” Yukiko called out.

 

“Would be nice if we knew how though,” Kagetsuya muttered under his breath. They both followed the nurse back into the lab, almost laughing at how rattled the doctor looked.

 

“Let's get all the facts out. We have a child that had the virus, was in the final stages of it in fact, and somehow managed to heal himself. Did you have any contact with the child Kagetsuya?” the doctor inquired.

 

“I only saw him a couple times with Chihaya and every time I was wearing a mask and gloves. I don't see how we could have passed anything to each other.”

 

The doctor sighed as he glanced at the two teens. “What about you, Chihaya? You came in contact with the boy correct?”

 

The younger angel blushed as he nodded. “I know I wasn't supposed to go in there without protection but I couldn't help it. He was so scared and wanted physical comfort I couldn't give him wearing gloves and a mask.”

 

“What does Chihaya have to do with it however? He never got the virus,” the nurse pointed out.

 

“That's just it. Why did he never get it? He was in contact with all the sick children, without protection, and turned out fine. Did anything unusual or different happen last night? Something that could have caused Kagetsuya, who had the virus, to be cured?”

 

Both of the younger males blushed before eyes met in realization. “Do you think that could have done it?” Chihaya asked his face bright as a tomato.

 

“I suppose there is only one real way to test it. Doctor, I suggestion you take Chihaya's blood and then test it with some of the infected blood.”

 

The doctor glanced at the nurse before shrugging, clearly still in the dark on the situation. The nurse however grinned, immediately figuring out what the blush on the boy's faces meant.

 

The older man set about the task of gather blood from the other male, checking it other the microscope before adding it with another specimen. “Well I'll be… you've got antibodies against the virus. Your blood just killed the sample.”

 

“Chihaya how did you cure Ibis? When did any of your blood come in contact with him?” the nurse questioned.

 

The dark angel thought silently for a moment before eyes widened, “The feather. I gave him one of my feathers when he wasn't feeling well. I guess I ripped too hard, it must have bled.”

 

The nurse smiled as she took the younger angel's hand. “This means that we can cure the children and everyone else that are ill.”

 

“Because your genetic makeup is different from the other angels you already had the antibodies in your body. I don't think we would have been able to figure it out if it weren't for you,” the doctor remarked.

 

Kagetsuya grinned as he wrapped his arms around his lover. He then leaned down to whisper, “And you thought your wings were evil. They just saved everyone.”

 

“We're going to take what we've drawn so far to give to the worst of children. We'll be back in a few minutes,” the nurse murmured, indicating for the doctor to leave the two males alone.

 

They waited until the room was empty before pressing lips together.

 

“I guess these wings came in handy didn't they?”

 

Kagetsuya snickered at the statement. “They certainly did and you're not allowed to believe their evil or wrong ever again. You understand?”

 

Chihaya nodded as they continued to hold each other, waiting for the doctor and nurse to return.

 

TBC…
