Day 3
"Look, we won´t be able to save her if you are in the way..."
"But....I need to be with her, she´s the reason for my existence."
"Well, in that case, we will have 2 dead bodies, now move!"
"Hold on, Yuki-chan, hold on!"
I tried to open my eyes. What was going on?
And that voice....seemed so familiar.
"Kage....tora?"
"I´m right here, Miyu, I´m right here."
I smiled.
"I know you are."
"I´m sorry, I can´t believe you came to save me again, I told you not to!"
"Forgive me, I just couldn´t resist...."
I could see pretty clearly now. I was in an ambulance car, surrounded by paramedics, all sorts of wires attached to me.
"I told you, I´ll be fine, It´s my problem!" I heard him say.
"You are wrong. One of those days..." I said as the doors of the car closed in front of my eyes.
"It´s a flatline, get the defibrillator paddles!"
Im not flatlining, Im alive, see?
See?
Weird.
I saw nothing around me. It´s like you are looking with your eyes closed. And you can´t open them.
But I could hear perfectly.
I recognised some voices, to be more specific – Naruto and Sakura – but I guessed some nurses were there too. Sakura´s voice is just too whiny and Naruto´s voice is pretty obnoxious.
"Wake up, WAKE UP!!"
She seriously gets waaaay~ into her work.
Naruto was also screaming for me to wake up.
Everyone was panicking. I heard something fall, I heard someone yelling at that person who probably dropped the damn thing on the floor, I heard everything. Yet I could not open my eyes.
It was like I was totally conscious...yet not in control.
I felt a shock wave run through my body.
Shit, you guys, Im alright, just open my eyes.
„Look at the damn pulse, hit her again!“
Wait wait wait!!
The paddles were pushed against my chest again. Damn, this stuff really hurts.
Maybe it´s just a bad dream.
People dont die like this, right?
Fuck!
Breathe in, breathe out.
And then I couldnt hear either.
I opened my eyes.
Yes, Im not dead!!
And I can see!! AND HEAR!
Fuck yeah~
Everything was foggy though.
My whole body ached. My chest hurt the most. Damn paddles...
"The EKG didn´t show us anything we didn´t know.." a female voice said, obviously Sakura. But she didnt sound as whiny as she usually does.
"How about doing an angiography?" someone said, it sounded like Naruto.
"Angiography? You are not in medical school anymore," doctor Hatake said.
"If she has a stronger case of tachycardia, we should give her antiarrhythmics. At least we´ll have something," Sakura said.
I finally tried to say something:
"Hey, I dont get anything you´re saying, please, in simple English?"
They rushed over.
"Are you OK? How´s your body? You feel anything strange?" Naruto asked me.
"Whats with the questions? Im the sick one, Id like to ask some too!"
"Do you have a headache maybe?" he asked again.
"Look, dude, Im fine."
He backed off a little.
So did Sakura and Sasuke. Doctor Hatake was a little bit further behind, like always.
"I guess my joints hurt a little, but..."
He dived in again.
"Arthralgia!!"
"OK, I have no idea what that is so could you just let me sleep?"
"She´s feeling tired!!! It has to be malaria!! It fits the symptoms!!"
"Now you´re just guessing too much," Sasuke said.
"Her BP is normal, she isn´t sweating or vomiting, she doesn´t have chills or anemia, so just shut up," Sakura said in a low voice.
"Hey, he´s just trying to help," Sasuke said, looking at her.
"Sorry Sasuke-kun!" Sakura said in a sickening "lovey-dovey" voice.
"Isn´t malaria a disease that comes from mosquitoes?" I asked.
"Mosquitoes are not the only thing that carries it. Have you been to India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka lately?" doctor Hatake asked.
"I dont travel."
"Do a blood smear just in case." and with that he just walked off.
"I cant have malaria, it doesnt make sense!"
"You probably don´t, he just wants to check, besides, with the smear, we can also look for other parasites ," Naruto assured me.
"The main thing is, you are OK!" Sakura said, smiling.
I narrowed my eyes at her, again.
Yeah, the main thing...
"Sakura-san and I will get the lab ready, how about you get the sample?" Naruto said to Sasuke.
"Alright."
"But..." Sakura started but then gave up, "fine!"
The two of them walked off.
"Now that they are gone, will you tell me what´s going on?" I asked.
He looked at me funny. Then smiled and walked towards me. No, it wasnt a smile. Neither was the one he gave me yesterday. It was a smirk. And a smirk is not the same as a smile.
If he were to smile at me, Id actually like him a lot more.
But a smirk was condemning, he was judging me.
He stopped at the bed.
„Have you seen House MD?“
House? What has this to do with anything?
„Yeah, one of my favourite series.“
„Well, Kakashi is kinda like House. But less sociable. Well, and less of an asshole. And for sure less of a genius. Cause let´s face it, no one can be that great. This isnt just another case for him, though. This is a true puzzle. You have had so many different symptoms...It´s really hard to give an oppinion at this point.“
Great.
"Alright, at least what do you think I have?"
He looked at my hand while taking the blood sample.
"The symptoms...I dont think they say anything. I think they are a decoy of the real problem, of the real disease. But that´s just my opinion."
I nodded and looked out of the window.
So I was a case to remember.
I never was the type who needed everyones attention.
But for some reason I felt...good.
That they will remember me.
Even if I live, they will remember this case.
Im not a very optimistic person you see...
Im so selfish.
Yet so friggin´ selfless.
Dont worry, I dont get myself either.
