Love Resigned

Chapter 3:

Awakened Troubles

Part One

Aoi Sora's eyes opened with ease in the dim light of his hospital room and began to hear the sounds of the diagnostic equipment that were near his bed.  There were several minutes that had passed as he became accustomed to these sensations, the softer and quieter sensations came to his attention.  Those that had shocked his weakened mind was the acknowledgment that there were two humanoid bodies that were saying the bed with him.  The first was slightly heavy and curled up upon his feet with moans of slumber that he knew that he should be able to recall, but he wa unable to do so at this moment.  The other was laying upon his left arm and was softly snoring with her hand holding his own.  It was when he saw that there was a gold ring with a dark red diamond upon the sleeping figure's ring finger.  It was, then, that he caught her scent within his nose and identity became real to him.

"Aki..."  He began to whisper as her heart began to race.  As this occurred within his weakened body, he began to convulse and sat off the machines that he was attached to.  This had brought both women to be fully awake as the night nurses entered into the room in a run.  They were pushed away from the bedside to allow the nurses to perform their emergency duties.  The work on him was done quickly and efficiently and soon he had been stabilized.

It was only the head nurse for the night shift that had stayed behind to speak with these two women.  "What were you thinking of doing that?  You know that his condition is very erratic and unstable though it has been over a month since he had collapsed and transported here.  We had flushed all of the monoamine oxidase inhibitor from his system, but there is still the underlying cause of his overdose.  We will be keeping him here until he is strong enough and will be giving him psychological therapy for his depression."

The two women had agreed and lowered their heads as they had been scolded and given the current status of the single man that they, both, had fallen in love with.  It was, only, after the nurse had left that the women looked at one another within the glow of the neon lights.  Aoi Aki was the shocked as it seemed that she looked at her own twin that she had never known that she had had.  "Who are you?  What is your relation to my brother?  Are you one of the women that had used him for your own purposes?  And why do you look like me?"

"Who am I, Aki-chan?  I look like you, because he wanted me to be your replacement.  And yes, I had used him to look at me as an exhibitionist.  It had not been until the first time that your so-called 'father' had taken you away from him that we had made love with one another.  Afterwards he had disappeared to find you.  Then, you had the gall to leave him with the love that he had for you.  He had come to me for reassurance and to continue to be with you.  That is why I look so much like you."  Satsuka Runa explained in as much detail as she could.  She wiped the tears  from her eyes as she began to relive those first experiences.  She had to gather all of her courage to admit all of this.  "In time, I had come to realize my true feelings for him.  There is nothing that you can do about it, because unlike you, I will not leave him ever again."

It was after those words that Aki moved with lightning speed.
