Rikyu POV
I opened my eyes as I looked around the room trying to make my vision more clear and stable only seeing the light shining from the only window in the room. I didn't hear any kind of noise, I sat up from the bed seeing I was in a hospital room. I had an IV in my arm but the drip looked like it had been empty for a while. I was dressed in a hospital gown. As soon as I tried standing up I grabbed the side of the bed when my legs were about to give out after stepping one foot on the cold floor.
My head hurt and was pounding like I was hit against the head, I tried remembering who I was or even my name or age but I didn't have any clue of who I am or why I was even in a hospital. My memory was fuzzy and my head would hurt even more as I try to remember the slightest thing about myself.
"W-where am I?" I asked myself, hearing the roughness of my voice and the scratchy feeling in my throat like I haven't spoken in days. Once I was able to get my legs stable enough to where I could walk without them giving out on me. I looked at my arm and the empty IV drip as I sighed wondering if I was able to take the needle out of my arm without harming myself.
Shaking my head I sighed wondering if there were any doctors or nurses even around to take it out. Inspecting the IV stand I noticed it was a portable one so I wrapped my hand around the pole as I pulled it with me sliding the door open I looked around seeing papers scattered everywhere like the hospital was abandoned after a fight or something happened. I didn't hear any sounds of anyone walking or even talking just a faint sound of the wind.
"H-hello!..... Is anyone there!" I called out the best I could as I walked further into the hallway trying to find a doctor, a nurse or anyone. Once I got to the reception desk I saw no sign of anyone and only the same as when I was in the hallway, scattered papers. I smiled softly when I noticed my legs got the strength back in them a little bit from the small walk from the room to the desks I moved to sit down and stared at the IV drip and down the small tubes leading to my arm. I bit my lip as I took hold of the tube close to my arm and pulled the needle out of my arm.
Gasping at the pain I saw the blood start coming out and the bruise forming from where the needle was located I looked through the desk, and only found some tissues I used to put over the small wound. I sighed and walked back to the room looking around as I did and all I saw was more scattered paper and dust everywhere. There had to be some type of clue of who I was or where I am. I just couldn't be the only person at this hospital. Once I walked into the room I searched through the drawers and grabbed a bandage where I could properly wrap it around my arm.
"Ok this was the room I woke up in, I have to have my name written somewhere. Even the slightest clue would help" I mumbled to myself as I looked through the papers on a table and even at the medical records. Nothing. Nothing had my name on it or even the hospital location. Groaning to myself as I kicked at the couch clicking my tongue in frustration.
"H-hello?" I jerked up when I heard a small squeaky voice coming from the hallway. I ran out of the room seeing a smaller boy who hugged himself, he had white hair and looked so innocent. My eyes landed on his arm and it had dried blood around where the IV could have been. He looked around and then laid eyes on me and before hiding away in his room poking his head out like he wasn't expecting another person around.
"D-do you know where we are?" He asked in a soft voice as I shook my head and moved closer. I was just happy to see I wasn't alone... wasn't abandoned.
"No I don't even know what my own name is, let alone my age.... How about you? Do you have any clues?" I asked as I moved to get closer to him as he shook his head and looked back into his room.
"I just woke up here last night, not able to remember anything either. I was too scared to leave my room hoping someone would come to me... I almost lost hope and then I heard your voice. I honestly thought I was losing it before I heard walking around" He says looking down as he placed his hand on his chest with a small sigh like all his worries just went away.
"Lets clean your arm first and we will search for others as well ok? We can't be the only ones here in this hospital. Maybe we can find our names out" I say as he nods going back into his room. It had more papers scattered about, He must have been searching for his name when he woke up.
I looked in a drawer and grabbed some alcohol wipes and a bandage in case his arm was still bleeding. Walking closer to him as he sat on the bed and looked down biting his lip like he wanted to ask me something but didn't. I took hold of his arm and cleaned the dried blood from it. Luckily he wasn't bleeding anymore.
"Do you think others are really here?" He asked at last before I looked at him, giving a sad smile and nodded my head.
"Of course, I mean look we are both here. Even though we have no idea who we are or what we were even doing here..... others have to be here or even some clue of why the hospital was abandoned." I say trying to keep a smile on my face trying to be strong for him when I stood up and held my hand out to him as I glanced at the clock, seeing it was still early morning.
"You have a point I guess" He whispered before standing up from the bed and seeing he was also in a hospital gown as well. I ruffled my hair and looked around seeing the cupboard was cracked open.
"Maybe we can find some clothes if anything" He says before giving a wide smile as he moves to walk past me. I could only nod my head as I followed him out of the room and looked down the hallways.
"Should we go together or split up?" I asked thinking if we split up we can find more in a shorter amount of time. When I looked back at him he had a frown as he shook his head holding my arm shyly.
"I would rather not be left alone again, we can each take a side as we search" He says pointing to show the doors across from each other. I only nodded my head as I walked towards one of the doors.
"Then let's start searching! For someone, clothes or even something to eat" I says as he perks up and nods following behind me taking one of the sides as we walk.
We searched the long hallway and made small turns when we reached the end. We gave up looking at the papers that were scattered in the rooms losing hope that nothing was there. We just started looking for food or even something to wear.
"It looks like it gets worse and more abandoned as we go" I mumble to myself as I walk out of the room and see the other male was waiting for me.
"Hey I don't think anyone is here, can we just look for some food more than anything?" He asked as I opened one more door seeing the plain and empty room. I sighed closing the door back as I nodded looking back towards him as he leaned against an open door with crossed arms.
"Well you have been awake longer than I have so you must be starving. I'm sure the cafeteria is here.... somewhere. I was able to find the nurses station earlier so maybe there is a small map of the hospital there" I said leaning against the door feeling defeated, we gave up searching the rooms when no clothes were found and they were either a mess or everything was flipped and knocked over. So far only the both of our rooms were the cleanest.
"Yeah so lets head back... I have a bad feeling about this anyway" He mumbled the last part like he was unsure of something.
"You have a bad feeling?" I asked as I walked into the last room he opened and grabbed a chair, setting it in the middle of the hallway so we knew where we left off on our search.
"Well last night I was hearing these weird sounds coming from outside... I didn't know what they were and I hid in the closet" He says as he bit his lip when I looked at him confused. I glanced at his arm and nodded now understanding why his arm was so bloody, he ripped the needle out and hid himself away.
"Then let's get some food and find a safe spot to rest, we can continue our search later" I say, taking his hand and heading back down the long hallway.
We were talking about the noises he heard and trying to finger out if any of our memories came back. We didn't have any luck sadly but our attention went from each other when a loud banging sound came from the nurses station.
"What the hell what that?" He asked moving behind me as I glanced at him and moved to hide against the wall and peeked out seeing another man. He was going through some files tossing them to the ground after looking through them.
"FUCK THIS SHIT!!" The male yelled as he kicked the IV drip stand I left there earlier this morning.
"I think he is like us, let's talk to him" The white haired boy said as I sighed nodding my head knowing he was probably right, the other male was in a hospital gown as well so he had to me. I bit my lip moving away from the wall and walked towards him. I noticed he was taller than the both of us and his hair was an orange color.
"Hi?.... What are you searching for?" I asked as the orange haired man looked at me a little taken aback when he heard me talk and he moved to sit on top of the desk, his eyes watching me and the other boy. He made it obvious he didn't trust the two of us.
"Are you both the ones who put me in here? Or at least know who I am!" He yelled at us as we jumped back seeing a stapler thrown at us.
"No that can't be right, you're both also wearing gowns" He whispers under his breath probably hoping we didn't hear him.
"Hey we don't have a clue either! We have been searching all day for an answer!" The white haired boy said loudly as he moved past me to go closer to the other boy.
"So you're telling me that you have no idea who we all are?" He says before laying eyes on me and glaring as he jumped off the counter moving closer to us. I backed up slowly as he moved closer.
"No we have no idea" I say moving back from him as he got closer to me, he grabbed my wrist and went to grab the smaller males wrist but he moved far back from him where the taller one could reach.
"Come with me then, I know of a door that has files in it... we should be able to find something then." He says pull me with him. I looked back trying to pull away and motion for the smaller boy to help me get away but it wasn't no use.
I sighed in defeat as I was dragged down a hallway, it went from clean to papers scattered. Until finally it had a bad smell like something was rotting it made me forget my hunger from earlier. The further we went into the hallway we started seeing blood splattered on the walls and floor. Some of the stretcher had loads of blood like a mass murder happened and the people trying to help were killed for doing so. I bit my lip feeling the smaller boy grab my hand the further we went.
"Why is there so much blood... and why does it smell like rotting flesh?" The white haired boy asked as he covered his nose with his free hand as he looked around curiously with a frightened look on his face.
"I don't know, I woke up in the middle of a hallway that seemed to have been barricaded on both ends. I don't remember anything." The taller male said, I looked at the smaller one who had a confused look on his face.
"Wait so the both of us woke up in clean rooms but you woke up here like a mass murder happened and cant remember anything either?" The smaller one says looking down like he wanted to say something further but the taller guy just turned back and glared like he was being suspected of killing all the people here.
"You both woke up in rooms? That's kind of weird I guess I got the short end of the stick" He says before stopping. I wasn't paying much attention and ran right into him, he looked back at me and it was a double hit as the smaller male ran into me as well.
"Anyway this is the door, it does have a small glass frame but I couldn't find anything to protect my feet from the broken glass. I would rather not have glass jammed up my feet" He says running his hands through his hair.
"Could you find a spare hospital gown?" I asked as he shook his head and we both looked at the smaller male who was staring at one of the cleaner stretchers.
"Why not go ahead and break it then put the padding on top of it?" He asked looking back at us.
"That works as well" I say with a small smile
"Then let's open this door and find some clues on who or even where we are" I add clapping my hand.
"It's actually getting pretty late... shouldn't we find food?" The smaller boy asked looking up at me.
"Ah how about I run back to the nurses desks and find a map of the place. You both can search for any clues" I say as the taller male just glares at me.
"Wouldn't it be faster if all of us go together? What if you get lost from what I gathered? This place isn't very small" He says, obviously not trusting me.
"I think it will be faster, I can grab a bag or something and bring lots of snack back here for us to eat, even some water would do besides two people searching this room will be a lot faster than the three of us wasting time and searching for the food" I say trying to make a point as the smaller male just nodded his head.
"Then go find the food, I will help mr. Grumpy look over the papers here" He says with a wide smile and a playful salute.
I looked at the taller male as he only huffed and waved me off as he looked for a rock or something to break the glass on the door not saying anything further. I sighed petting the smaller males head as he laughed softly before pushing me to find the food.
