Recollected Memories // Kuroken

Chapter 4

Kenma's POV

A few hours after the incident, the metal door once again clanked open revealing a different guard. Actually, he didn't really look like a guard. Instead, from what I could recall from my hazy memory, he wore blackish clothes like the two who originally brought me into this hell.

However, seeing the tall figure, my thoughts immediately trailed back to the past event and my body instinctively backed away towards the corner of the room.

He peered into the room tsking when he saw my timid body radiating a mixed scent of pheromones. I glared back at him attempting but probably failing to scare him off.

Retreating, he walked out for a few seconds.

"Doctor...!" I briefly heard the man shout. "This one's about to go into heat." He then began eyeing me weirdly before gazing back at the rest.

I felt my stomach drop again for like the millionth time. Wait... I'm going into heat already...? No... what's gonna happen to me again. Wasn't before already enough for me...

Unconsciously, my body began quivering nonstop. I was scared alright. And I seriously didn't think I could even stand another day in a form like this.

"Everyone, get up and ready yourselves, we will leave in ten minutes." The man said before turning to look at me. "You, there's a doctor that will give you some medication." he said harshly. With that, the older male left.

Relieved for nothing had happened, I felt my body relax a little. That wasn't too bad... I thought before the suspicions came up again. No, he could still hold some kind of hidden motive. I can't oversee anything after what happened before...

After a brief few seconds, a voice neared the small room.

"Pfff... I know it's your first time, but seriously... acting so harsh..." He stopped to say something to the guard before entering the room.

A young man, no... not even a young man he looked more like a teenager, appeared in the doorway. Wearing a spotless white coat and a genuine smile.

"So... who's going into heat?" His tone was careless.

Nervously, I raised my hand.

"Okay, coming this way." He lightly walked in my direction.

Still wary after what happened before, I backed away from the approaching man.

"Ha..." He let out a sigh when he got a closer look at my body. "So you've been that already... it's always worse the first time. And you're so young as well... I need to tell the staff about this. The treatments they're giving the kids are getting a little harsh."

I was surprised at how calm he could say these words as if it was normal. The somewhat assuring smile he had on was also way too lax.

He crouched down next to me and held out a hand. "Um... do you mind?"

Still alert, I lifted my hand for him to see. Without notice, he pulled out a syringe. Seeing the needle, I withdrew my hand.

What is he gonna inject into me...?

"Relax... It's just some serotonin, dopamine and some other chemicals that will calm down your symptoms a little. You're not supposed to take pills on your first heat I presume so that'll help a little." He proceeded, taking my arm and injecting the fluid.

Why is he so calm... I thought as he did so. It's so unnatural. Ugh, this just doesn't feel right.

At that moment I felt a sudden urge to ask. He didn't really seem like the type of guy that would get angry. Well... here goes nothing...
