One Moment
By Shinto Red
Part 2:
Misa looked as if a ten ton truck had run her over.
She had barely heard anything the doctor said after…
‘ Pregnant. I’m pregnant. ‘
“ Should you decide to go through with the pregnancy… “
‘ Do I want to keep the child? ‘
“ I would like to… “
‘What about my career? What would the others say?’
“ Captain. “
‘Oh God…what would he say? ‘
“Captain!“
Misa jumped in her chair.
The doctor pushed her glasses up
and rubbed the bridge of her nose before letting out a sigh. “ I see
we’re not going to be able to discuss anything today. Let’s just
schedule something. I’ll give you clearance to have the rest of the
day off. “
She opened a drawer and
pulled out some pamphlets. “ In the
meantime, why don’t you read through these. If you have any questions,
please call.“
Misa nodded her head automatically,
but her dazed appearance
let the doctor know that she probably didn’t hear her. She escorted her
to the door. After closing the door, she returned to her seat and prepared
herself for the next patient.
*************************************************************
Hikaru searched scanned
the numbers of the doors. ‘ Why’d they have
to rearrange things. Why’d they have to make a separate military wing.
It
was easier when it was combined. ‘
The wind was briefly knocked
out when he slammed into something.
Without thinking, he grabbed the person’s shoulders that he had run into
and prevented them from having a nasty fall on their rump. An apology
was on his lips but what came out was a name.
“ Hayase. “
They had been avoiding
one another like the plague after what had
happened. A few days ago, Hikaru tried to talk with her, but she always
ran away from him and acted extremely cold. Even Claudia was complaining
to Roy about receiving the cold shoulder from Misa.
“ Have to do a physical too? “ he said with a lopsided grin.
Misa snapped out of her hazy state of mind. ‘ Oh no! Not him! Not now! ‘
“ Let me go! “
She pushed him away. “ Leave me alone! “
Hikaru, to say the least, was more than a little stunned by her behavior.
He took a step towards her. “ What’s wrong? “
Her eyes were wide and wild. “ Keep away! “
She tried to run around
him but he caught her arm. She wriggled out of
his grip and made a mad dash down the hall.
The noise had not gone
unnoticed. Soon, several heads to pop out from
the doors. One of them had been the doctor Misa had been to.
‘ Ah, the father. ‘ she thought.
Hikaru noticed that his
doctor, a middle aged, balding man, was leaning
against a door frame.
“ I need to reschedule. “
The man waved him off. “ No problem. “
He turned to Misa’s
doctor across the hall, an amused look on his
face. “ Another one? “
“ Another what? “ she asked while raising an eyebrow.
“ Another girl who knocked herself up.“
She gave a dirty look.
“ I can’t disclose any information about my
patients. “
He gave her a smirk. “ The guy at least has some taste. Nice tail. “
“ No wonder why they
only make you check the male soldiers. “ she
said dryly.
“ Hardy Har Har. I check both. Besides, my wife would slap me silly. “
“ Then you get slapped often. “
He flipped her the bird. “ Your wife deserves a prize. “
“ Why? “
“ For staying with you all these years. “
Another doctor added his two cents. “ Probably drugged her. “
He scowled at the man.
“ In any case, that boy is going to get the
shock of his life. “
She let out a sigh. “ Yes he is.”
***********************************************************
The two had gone running through two, causing any heads to turn.
Shammy Milliome , Vanessa Laird and Kim Kabirov, members of the bridge
crew that usually worked with Claudia LaSalle and Misa, were more than a
little surprised at seeing their usually cool and proper sempai running
like a mad woman right past them. Even more surprising was the young,
loud mouthed pilot, Hikaru Ichijyo, chasing after her.
“ Did you guys see that?” asked Vanessa.
A joint ‘yes’ was the other two women’s response.
“ Good. It means I don’t need a new prescription for my glasses. “
‘ Though I think I may need a shrink. ‘ she thought.
******************************************************************
The chase had taken them
to the Officer’s Quarters. Some soldiers,
either having heard about the two officers running about from word
of mouth or through a phone call, rooted them on as if they were marathon
runners when they passed by. Claudia, who had been busy filing out
some paper work in her place, decided to grab a drink from a vending
machine. “ What in the world is all the excitement about? “
A young officer who had
been standing next to her replied, “ There’s a
chase, ma’am. “
“ What chase? “
“ That pilot in Skull Squadron that argues with Capt. Hayase…”
She raised the soft drink to her lips. “ He’s runnin’ after her. “
Claudia felt like she swallowed a rock. “ What?! “
“ Take a look for yourself, ma’am. “
Sure enough, the two were running down the hall away from them.
***************************************************************
Misa unlocked her door
and quickly tried to shut it. Hikaru placed his
foot in between the door and the frame. Misa gave up on the front door
and ran to her bedroom, dropping the pamphlets and the test results on
the way before she locked herself in. Hikaru ran up to the bedroom door.
“ Hayase! Hayase!
What’s going on? What’s wrong? “ he said while
pounding on her door.
After a few minutes, the pounding ceased. “ I don’t get why… “
Silence.
Misa, who had been sitting
with her back against the door and her head
cradled in her hands, raised her head up. ‘ Maybe he gave up. But, I
didn’t hear him leave…’
She got up and opened the
bedroom door a crack. Hikaru was sitting on
the floor and reading a piece of paper in one hand, holding a pamphlet in
the other. His jaw was hanging open slightly, his eyes nearly as wide as
saucers. He suddenly looked up and caught her gaze.
He looked like a lost little boy. “ Misa? “
Misa blanched. ‘ Oh no… ‘
“ You…You shouldn’t have read that…”
Misa felt her world go black.
“ MISA! “

I’m evil, aren’t
I? hehe. I seem to like making Hikaru run
after Misa. Seems fair considering she did that during the show.
Got to make the boy suffer. ;-)
