Fate DxD

Chapter 15

Thursday, October 27, 2022.

I wake up in a bed that's not too comfortable. I open my eyes to see a hospital ceiling. My body creaks with pain at every movement I make. As I try to sit up, the door opens and the nurse smiles, as if reassured.

"Ah, there you are awake, I'll get the doctor."

Then leaves, leaving the door open. I could see the general panic in the corridor, nurses running in all directions.

(We've really caused a lot of caulateral damage, haven't we...).

"Do you remember everything?"

(Absolutely everything. It was really terrifying.)

"And yet that's the path you're going down."

All I can do is put my hands together and squeeze hard.

(I have to do it, so no one else has to).

"Ah here you are awake, good." Said the doctor as he entered the room.

"Hello, Doctor." I calm down to hear what he has to say.

"How are you feeling?" He asks, sitting down in front of me.

"I'm fine, just a little sore all over, but that's all."

"Go get me a painkiller please." He says to the nurse, who immediately complies.

"Um, can you tell me how I got here?"

"Ah yes, you were sound asleep when you arrived. It was the hero Makai Knight who brought you back to the emergency unit that arrived at the scene of the incident, and he asked that you be taken care of immediately."

"Okay I see."

"And we've contacted your guardian, so she shouldn't be long."

"Okay thanks, I should check my phone too."

"Your belongings are here, but wait a bit, we'll give you a painkiller, we tried to wash as much of your clothes as possible so you can put them back on."

Indeed, making a move is complicated, giving me sharp pain, so I wait patiently until Fuji-nee arrives.

I leave the hospital with my clothes from the day before, less stained but still good for the garbage can, so full of holes and blood stains.

I look into my phone and widen my eyes, seeing the number of messages and missed calls. Sorry for everyone, but the most important message is probably from Rias, so I'll have to talk to her about it.

"Senji!" I look up to see Fuji-nee running towards me.

She takes me in her arms and holds me tight. Followed by Chiyo.

"Easy, you're hurting me..." I try to stop them, but there's nothing I can do. I can't blame them, they were worried sick after all.

"Oh boy look at you, you're covered in bandages!" Fuji-nee releases me, looking me up and down.

"So it's true, you were involved in the attack?" Chiyo asks.

"Yes, but I managed to get out of it, now all I want to do is rest."

"Yes, of course, come on, it's one of Dad's men who'll take us back."

I take one last look at my phone, specifically at the message from Rias, then follow Fuji-nee and Chiyo.
