Doku

Chapter 9: The Truth

"Doku! What are you doing!?", Kikiomi shouted at him. "Nothing, dear sister. I am just taking some allergy medicine.", he lied. "The hospital just called about your friend Niomi. She is in the hospital. She got in a car crash or something. Both of her parents are dead. You can't tell her though. They said you should go and visit though to comfort her, because her parents can't. And they said she should be ok." Doku's eyes widened. He put the pills down, got up, and started packing a few things in his backpack. Once he was finished stuffing his bag, he said,"Ill be back soon.", and walked out the door.

Niomi woke up. She slowly opened her eyes, shielding them from the light. Once they were adjusted, she looked around, looking confused. A nurse ran in to inform her about what had happened. "You were in a car accident. You will be ok, though. How are you feeling, sweetie?", she said, smiling. "Wh-where are my parents? I need to see them. You have to let me see them! Are they alright?!?" "Calm down, darling. They will be fine, but they are very critically injured, so they are not taking any visitors right know. Plus, you are not in a great shape to be getting up and about. Rest.", the nurse told her. Rest?! How could she rest, not knowing if her parents were alright?!? She needs to see them! As she was watching the nurse leave, someone else walked in.

Doku ran as fast as he could to get to the hospital. He ran past Levi's house, thinking about what had happened the other day. He was wondering, maybe he flipped out too much on Levi. Maybe, maybe they could still be friends, but then he remembered why they were arguing in the first place. "Never mind...", he grumbled. When he reached the hospital, he ran in went to the visitor sign in. "Doku here to see Niomi" The receptionist typed in a few things into her computer, and said ,"Go right ahead. Room 287" Doku ran over and opened the door to her room. "Niomi!", he shouted, running over and hugging her. "Are you ok?" He inhaled the smell of her hair, almost peachy, but also a hint of a burnt smell. Niomi didn't answer, but just held onto Doku, not wanting to leave his arms. Niomi started crying. "I-I got in a car c-crash.", she sobbed. Doku sat down on her bed and tried to comfort her with soothing words, reassuring her that everything was going to be alright, but he wasn't even sure if everything was going to be alright. Her parents are dead was the only thing he could think about. He felt guilty as ever, not telling her the truth. He leaned in and hugged Niomi again, and knew what was about to happen. His heart beat sped up, and so did Niomi's. He could feel Niomi's heart pounding against her chest, as he moved in closer to her, and stared into her eyes. Then, their lips met, a soft kiss. They both didn't pull away, because they felt a spark.

The nurse walked in on them, and slowly walked away, blushing. Doku slowly pulled away, not moving his eyes from hers. He then whispered in her ear ,"I love you".

Doku then started to take some things out of his bag, the feeling of guilt returning. "I brought you some things. Clothing. Toys." He could no longer look at her, feeling embarrassed and knowing that she needed to obtain the truth. "Hey, Niomi. I have to tell you something that I wasn't supposed to tell you, but I am because I love you." "What are you talking about?", she asked. "Niomi, your.... Your parents are dead."

What do you think will happen next? Niomi gets mad and won't forgive Doku? She breaks up? Soon to come.
