Encounter in the Elevator

 

----------------------------------------

 

 

 

 

After Sakura helps Vincent back into his bed, she carefully puts the lilies into a vase; one by one.

 

Vincent notices that Sakura was actually not wearing jeans, instead she wore a black cloth-skirt that reached her knees with a dark pink v-neck thank-top under a faded-blue denim jacket with her hair braided.

 

She would have looked harmless if it wasn't for the black combat-boots she was wearing that almost reached her knees; just three inches between the top of the boots and the hem of the skirt.

 

“What happened to you?”, she asks.

 

“I don't know…”

 

“Why were you afraid of Bob?”

 

“I have no idea why, but when Bob was closing in on me, it was like I went back to something that happened to me but I can't remember what happened exactly…”

 

“Like you were there, but not there at the same-time?”

 

“Yeah, but I do know this… whatever had happened to me, it involved a man who was tall and bulky in stature…”

 

“Well Bob may be large, but he wouldn't harm a fly”, she says.

 

“Oww…”, he suddenly hisses in pain, holding his hand to his left temple.

 

“What's wrong?”

 

“I was trying to recall what happened… but my head suddenly began hurting… like something hit me…”, he groans.

 

“Let me see your head, Vincent”.

 

Sakura pulls his shoulder-length bangs from his face and sees a two-inch thin scar just above his left temple.

 

(A/N: Remember the head-trauma he had when he first arrived at the hospital ten years ago?)

 

“It's a healed over scar…”, she replies.

 

“the last thing I remember is that big guy coming towards me and I was so afraid, then… pain, all I felt was pain on the left-side of my head and all I saw after that was darkness”, he states, “Until I woke up here in the hospital…”

 

“Good, you're regaining some of your memories”.

 

Vincent actually looked emotionally-exhausted; the memory had drained him.

 

`But I fear the rest of my memories are my worst nightmare!', he thinks.

 

“Here, you should eat something healthier than hospital food”, Sakura says, putting a slice of cheese pizza on a wheat curst in front of him.

 

“Huh…?”, he gasps, looking at the pizza then at Sakura, watching as she takes a bite of her own slice, “You sure…?”

 

“What, you actually want to eat disgusting hospital food?”

 

“No…”, he mutters, picking up his slice up, “Thank you…”, he thanks, before taking a bite.

 

Sakura could only lightly giggle at his reaction to tasting pizza after ten years.

 

“Dr. Inugami?”, a nurse questions from the door.

 

“Yes, Minka?”

 

“The Board of Directors request to see you”.

 

“I'll be right there”, she says, walking around Vincent's bed towards the door, “I'll be back soon, Vincent”, she smiles, before vanishing through the door.

 

Sakura walks down the hall towards the elevator, and she could hear the nurses gossiping around her.

 

“She is so lucky to be the doctor of that hot-thing in 1013…”, a nurse whispers to another nurse.

 

“I know, a doctor with 3 medical degrees at the age of 27. Too bad those degrees do nothing for her looks, I feel sorry that the cutie is stuck with a dull looking doctor…”, the other whispers back.

 

That was what the female nurses whispered, the male nurses muttered.

 

“She is so hot…! I bet she was hot in high-school…!”

 

She just ignores the comments as she enters the elevator and presses the button for the top-floor. And closes her eyes as she let's out a frustrated sigh.

 

`Vincent is a patient at this hospital, and all those nurses care about is how cute-looking he is…', she thinks, `His head-wound was almost fatal, just who the hell tried to kill him 10 years ago?'

 

The elevator-doors open just five floors from the top-floor, causing her to open her eyes and she sees Hojo walk into the elevator.

 

“Ah Dr. Inugami”, he exclaims.

 

“Dr. Hojo…”, she says, mono-toned.

 

They ride in silence, except for the corny elevator music and the dings of each floor it went up.

 

As the fourth ding rang, Sakura prepared to step off the elevator, but Hojo roughly grabs her by the arm and shoves her against the wall of the elevator.

 

Sakura's face displayed mild shock and annoyance as her back hits the wall.

 

“Don't you ever disrespect me again in front of the staff or patients!”, Hojo hisses at her, gripping her arm tightly.

 

She simply smacks his hand off her arm as the elevator arrives at the top-floor.

 

“Keep your hands off me or I'll have to file charges of harassment against you”, she growls in annoyance, pushing past him as the doors opened.
