Animal Adventure

Chapter 9: Orion's Fight

Aka groans loudly as she stretches her arms above her head. She then processes to slump over her desk.

"Working hard, I see." A female voice said.

Aka turns to where the voice come from, seeing a pretty girl next to her.

The girl has shoulder length, black hair. Her bangs are being held up with a blue flower clip. Her blue eyes pierce into Aka like she is trying to read her. She wears a black tank top with blue shorts and blue sneakers.

"Yeah." Aka answered as she slowly sits back up.

Between work and taking care of two hybrids at home, Aka's schedule is packed. If it wasn't for Teresa being there, Aka would not have been able to care of Sunflower and Moonlight.

Moonlight. The nickname that Aka gave to Tokiya. Although he has only been living with the three for a week, Moonlight has been a big help at home. Especially to Sunflower. Aka first thought that Moonlight would have at least dislike the little dog hybrid because of how similar Sunflower is to his brother. But it seems to not be the case as Moonlight keeps Sunflower company. Moonlight is also been a big help in teaching Sunflower how to speak properly.

It is funny to see two completely different hybrids to be friends so quickly, at least in Aka's opinion. And Aka isn't going to complain about it. Aka was actually worried for Sunflower because he only has her and Teresa to hang out with. So when Moonlight came to live, Aka is happy that Sunflower has a friend that is the same age as him to play with. It doesn't mean that Aka didn't want to play with the redhead. Actually, Aka would drop everything just to play with him, but Aka knows that Sunflower needs kids his age to be around.

"Aka." The girl from earlier called, snapping Aka out of her thoughts. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay, Dana. Just tired." Aka said. "I just need to proofread this report and hand it in to the boss before I head out."

"I'll proofread it for you." Another voice said.

Aka turns to the other side to see a boy towering over her.

He has long brown hair with a light-yellow beanie on top of it. Purple eyes stare into Aka's blue eyes. His light-yellow scarf wraps loosely around his neck covering the top of his purple shirt and gray blazer. His lower half is covered in gray jeans and black dress shoes.

"You sure you want to?" Aka asked.

"I can handle at least this much." He stated. "And you seem really exhausted. You need rest. Just because you have been working here the longest, doesn't mean you need to do all the work."

Aka hums.

"Alright. I'll leave the rest to you then, Judai." Aka finally said after thinking it over.

"On it, Leader." Judai said.

Aka and Judai switch places. Dana nods at Aka before going to where her desk is. Aka grabs her things before heading out.

"See you guys tomorrow." Aka called out as she walks out the room.

Aka is outside and makes her way towards a motorcycle that is parked near the front of the building. Just as Aka was about to put the helmet on, out of the corner of her eye is two small figures across the street. Aka turns her head to see what is going on. Two boys are on the ground. One of them seems to be panicking while the other is seems unresponsive. Alarmed, Aka hangs the helmet on one of the handles and rushes towards the two boys. As she got closer, Aka sees that both boys are hybrids.

The panicking boy has black round ears that stand out against his hair. His glasses-framed green eyes are fully focus on the other boy. His clothes are torn in a few places, but overall it is still in good condition.

The other boy seems to be small for his age. His blond hair is being pinned down by his gray pointed ears. Aka can't see his eyes as he has his closed very tightly. His gray striped tail is being pinned underneath his body. The boy is gripping on to his torn shirt, right here his heart is. His face is twisted in pain.

Aka makes it to them and kneels down.

"What happened?" Aka asked, going into her interrogation mode.

The panicking boy is startled by Aka's sudden appearance but didn't scream.

"Sy- Syo-ch- Syo-chan." The boy sputtered.

The boy is so distress that he can't say anything properly. Luckily for Aka, she knows how to deal with situations like this. Aka pulls out her phone and speeds dial the emergency number. As she waits for someone to pick up, Aka keeps her attention on the two boys.

"Calm down." Aka said. "I need you to breath and then tell me what happened."

The panicking boy did as she told and take deep breaths. Once he calms down a bit, he explains what is going on.

"Syo-chan col- collapses from- from a heart att-attack and- and- and-" the boy sputtered out.

Aka nods as she heard him before her attention is being taking away by the phone.

"Hello. This is 110. What is your emergency?" a male's voice asked from the phone.

"I found a boy collapse outside of my workplace and is having a heart attack." Aka explained. "I don't know how long he has been like this, but it seems to get worse."

The boy with the heart attack is now having a hard time getting air in his lungs. Aka curses under her breath when she hears him wheezing.

"Alright. We'll send an ambulance your way. Tell me where your location."

Aka tells the man on the phone where they were. The man gives Aka instructions on what to do while they wait for the ambulance to come. The panicking boy lets Aka do what she need to do and wait franticly.

It feels like forever, but the sounds of sirens blare towards where the three are. It was like a whirlwind came as the paramedics come to take the boy and bring him in the car.

"I need you to come with us since you are the only person around." One of the paramedics said.

"Alright." Aka agreed. "But I need to bring him with me."

Aka points to the panicking boy. The paramedic agrees without complaint and motions them to follow. They all pile in the back of the ambulance. Once everyone is settled in, Aka couldn't help but wonder where the parents are and why the two boys are alone. Aka sighs as she knows that she'll have to wait for answers. For now, she'll need to focus on getting one of the boys to the hospital and make sure the other isn't going do something stupid.
