Welcome to Gaia! ::

"That sounds delicious." Akira said and nodded then shifted to start moving, but then he paused. "It's not some fancy resteraunt like last time is it? That was a little embarassing, I was wearing a pair of ratty old clothing there at that expensive resteraunt." He said with a slight pout.

Akira looked down at Hatori's pager and frowned. "You can go ahead and answer it. Your job is important. Just to stress okay?" Akira said with a sad smile. He still held tight onto Hatori's hand. Although he tightened his grip a little bit showing that he wasn't going to let him go. "I'm not that hungry yet anyways." He said and nodded stepping off to the side taking Hatori with him so he could open the door for an old couple walking in.

"Oh my god! You're Mr. Takeo right?" A female voice asked. Akira turned around when he heard his name and saw a tall blonde girl standing there infront of him. She was even taller than him. Which was rather scary to Akira for he was pretty tall himself.

"Anou, hai..." He said trailing off. Oh no, I think it's an American Otaku.. He mumbled to himself. The girl's accent clearly said American along with the English she spoke quite fluently. Also the blonde hair gave it away.

"Oh my god! You are! You're so much cuter than in the pictures! Oh! Is this your boyfriend? That's so hot. I bet you make a great seme! I just love your voice as Jiro. I have to tell my friends that you're, here they are! Look guys its the guy from that yaoi!" She screamed out to another group of American girls.

Akira blushed slightly but then his eyes went wide as he saw the group of girls coming towards him.

"Oh look Gackt!!" Akira said pointing in the opposite direction. The girls squealed and turned around. Using that as a distraction, Akira tightened his grip on Hatori's hand and ran for it.

Hatori glanced down at the pager and recognized the number. His eyes widened slightly as he pulled out his cellphone to call someone, however Akira suddenly yelled out something that Hatori didn't quite understand and dragged him off. "Ah! Akira!?" He ran, following him as he gripped on tightly to his cellphone so as not to lose it. "A-Akira...!!" His free hand reached weakly into his pocket and carressed the black case that held his medicine.

Hatori stared at Akira, trying to catch his breath. "Fangirls....ah...I see...." he whispered, trying to compose himself. He took a few gasps before his vision began to blur. Hatori could run, there was no doubt about that, but running when he was tired, hungry, and not sure why he was running was not good for him. His knees were introduced to the concrete floor beneath them, quickly found by his hands, his black case spilling onto the floor.

Hatori looked up at Akira with pain-filled, aqua eyes, cool beads of sweat forming on his face and neck. He then turned and reached weakly for the medicine case to his left. His breath was coming in sharp, deep, useless gasps and he knew he had to get the medicine into his system before the next five minutes or he would go into cardiac arrest. "Med......neck..." He whispered as his fingers grazed the case.

Jun smiled at Kyohei and made a discreet wink to Zeke, though he probably couldn't be due to the fact the man was snoozing on the couch.
"hey Kyo, you want some fruit pancakes?"

Akira nodded and had to grip his other hand to stop from shaking so much. Finally, when he steadied his hand a little more, he took a deep breath and took the syringe from the black case and pulled off the cap. Gently tracing the vein, he cringed slightly when he slowly put the needle into it. Injecting the liquid in, he tried not to much as much as possible. Completely frozen in place. Except for his hand that pulled away the syringe gently when the liquid was gone.

At first, there seemed to be no reaction. Hatori continued to lay there, shaking, gasping, hurting. The cold sweat poured down his face, neck, and chest as his hands grabbed uselessly at his chest. However, after a moment or two, his hands began to still, his shaking began to lessen, and his breathing evened out. It was only after this that either of them noticed that Hatori's cell-phone had been ringing off the hook for quite some time. Hatori weakly reached for it, but he was too weak to even move. "A...Aki-kun.....could you....answer that....for me?" he asked with a slightly stronger voice.
