The doctor is in..(abby)

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Dr Gackt was feeling miserable for himself..he wanted some one to shoot him.
Day after day the same thing, snotty nosed kids with colds, old ladies with infirmities , men who had things wrong with their lower parts..the usual.
He thought it wouldn't be so bad if the occasional pretty face would come his way, he began dreaming of a nice woman that maybe would come to him to seak healing for this or that and then he could turn on the charm as he helped heal what ailed her. Then after wards if she were really pretty he'd ask for her number and for a date..then the pretty girl would get a more "personalized " sort of care. He grinned to himself as he filed out the paper work on Mr marmot, poor man had throat cancer and not long to live, but he had managed to keep him as comfortable as much as possible in his remaining days. He returned to his dream of the woman who would visit his office , she'd look like heaven for starters and have the softest of skin, she'd have eyes the color of the winter sky in his town back home."Oh you stupid fool , no woman exists like that..at least no woman here..and besides when would some one like that come here."he said to himself again as he finished the files . He felt like he needed a vacation after this, maybe he'd go to england or Romania and see what the woman looked like there.
He wrote down in his planner book a reminder to book a vacation when he had time to take a few weeks off., maybe he'd go see his mother or his obachan , it had been a while since he had saw her, he hoped she was doing well and not tiering herself out in her retirement from being a doctor herself, it was because of her that he had become a doctor.
He was deep in his thoughts when his nurse tapped him on the shoulder.
"Dr. Kazama.your next appointment is here to see you.. a Miss Abigail Kari." He slowly got up out his chair and went to the door that led into the waiting room, he hoped she was as least pretty. "hello Miss Kari, the doctor will see you now."his nurse said as she opened the door and led Abby into the room where he waited.

[abbykari]

Abby had been feeling pain from the scar on her shoulder. So much so in fact she’d seen fit to find the nearest doctors and make an appointment. She had been surprised that they were able to fit her in that same hour and so there she sat, the pain from her scar throbbing in her shoulder in what looked a pleasant room. Chairs sat all around and a table sat in front of her with magazines, seeming a typical doctor’s waiting room.

Picking one up she read on the cover about some celebrity or other marrying to another, then a smaller article about how some other died. Closing it she placed it down on the table, her hands resting on her knees, she had never liked doctors, even when recovering she’d always though that it was that fact why she healed so quickly.

Sighing once more she looked around the room, to her surprise there wasn’t the normal posters of fake flu bugs or of adds for certain injections you must have. Instead, there on the walls sat calm cherry blossom pictures and those of birds more so cranes, she could not help but give a smile, this was not you’re usual doctors surgery.

She looked from there hands to the receptionist who seeing her nervousness smiled friendly at her. Soon an old man left shuffling along as he moved. The receptionist picked up a thing folder and smiled to her before disappearing into the room the man had come from. Abby sighed, she sat thinking about the doctor who she would see, as she sat, “he’s probably and old man with cold wrinkly skin and thick rim glasses and bad breath” she thought to her self her hand moving to her shoulder as she felt a stabbing pain in it once more grimacing she jumped when her name was called.

Standing she picked up her jacket laying it over her arm as she moved to the door the receptionist now stood. The heels of her shoes the only sound she heard, other than her heart beating as she moved, her blue eyes looking around the room. She saw the back of a man standing by a filing cabinet, his dark hair and the way he stood told her he was not an old man, much to her relief, but the cold hands and wrinkled skin , she yet had to find out.

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt took his stethoscope out the warmer. He had all ways put it there to keep the chill off of it as he knew his patients disliked the cold feel. He also donned his glasses, which were mostly for show, he really did not need them but he felt they made him look wise and that his patients tended to trust his diagnoses more when he wore them. He turned around when he heard the nurse open the door and to his pleasant surprise there stood a beautiful woman instead of the old wrinkled matron he had expected to see. This made him smile all the more , but then he put away his smile when he remember he was a doctor and had to be professional , well for at least now."Hello Miss Kari, I'm Dr. Kazama., if you'll take a seat over there, I'll take a look at your chart and we'll get sorted out."he said with a pleasant smile as he took her by the elbow to havea seat on his diagnostic table, he then turned to the nurse."That will be all for now Ami , I will let you know when you are needed."the nurse shut the door and he went and looked at Abby's chart."Hmmm, Miss Kari how long have you had the scar you came in for me to treat?'he said softly as he put his stethoscope on and readied it to hear her heart."Now no worries this is warm as i warm my stethoscopes i find people generally dislike cold stethoscopes , i mean i wouldn't want some baka poking around me with something that cold."he said softly as he slipped it under her shirt to hear her heartbeat."Very good, no irregularities, very steady beat, Now please breathe for me, breath in please..deep breathe.., now let it out."

[abbykari]

Abby looked at the doctor as he turned to face her strike all she had though he was not old nor wrinkly in face he was quiet young, yet he wore those glasses witch she though hide his eyes. She so wanted to just take them off and see his whole face , she was woken from her day dream when he took her arm and let her sit down . She blushed as she wondered how many women he’d had on that table. Sighing she spoke her voice low and soft “I got it ten years ago, by some big headed dignitary, he though he could …” she stopped realizing she was telling him a bit too much about her self, slipping up her top she showed him her back and the scar. Though he had warmed the stethoscope s still jumped more to do with some one else touching her rather than the stethoscope itself.

She turned to face him “that’s good I’d hate there to be a problem with that” she said but he continued and she took a deep breath in her chest rose as she held it in then fell as she let it our slowly. “It’s not my chest or my heart that’s the problem” she said slipping off her off her pink shoulder knitted jumper. She turned her back so he could see the long scar that sat on her back running from her shoulder to just before her spine. “This is the problem, it’s started to hurt” she closed her eyes as a shot of pain shot down her back from it her hand closed up “This is the problem” Pain now sat in her voice as she looked at him. “Its never hurt like this before” her shoulders tensed as she to look at him “can you help me or not?” her voice sounding more like a plea for help.

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt put the stethoscope away after he checked her heart and lungs. He could see she was getting a little impatient with him when she slipped over her off the shoulder jumper to show him the scar that ran from her shoulder to almost to her spine."I well aware of the scar from your chart Miss Kari, i just wanted to check your vitals to make sure you are nice and healthily."he said as he sucked in his breathe at the site of her bare skin. He wondered what it would feel like to his touch.,the smell of her skin, how it would taste. He turned away pretended to look at the chart again least he embarrass himself or her for that matter . he was glad he had wore his glasses so she couldn't see his eyes, because his eyes held a smoldering look that she had caused, by just him having to look at her loveliness. "ahem..Miss Kari..it appears the reason you are hurting is because your scar is not healing properly, there is some discoloration and your scar is bright red ,rather then the nice pink it should be, no its not as it should be, this worries me."he said softly as he donned his gloves and began to gently touch the wound as carefully as he could. He thought her skin was as soft as he had imagined and her perfume was driving him to bite his lip. "I can help you.if you promise that you wont hit me when i go and get the herbs and salve I'm going to put on that nasty scar, I'm also going to put you on a healing diet to get more vitamins in your system ..while your here i want you to go to the Engakuji Rinzai Zen temple in Kamakura, eat your meals with the monks there or i will ask them to send someone to take your meals to you where ever you are staying at the moment, I am also going to have to pay you a series of house calls as the salve needs to be made fresh and applied daily otherwise it wont work. He peeled off his gloves and then got to work with his motor and pestal grinding up the necessary roots and herbs to make a paste for her shoulder, he donned fresh gloves and gently applied the salve all over with a circular motion loving the feel of her skin. "I'm also going to make you up a series of chamomile sachets to put in your bath, i want you to bathe that shoulder regularly in it plus it will help you to sleep, I'm also prescribing you something for the pain..you let me know if you need anything stronger when i come and visit, so ill be needing your telephone number and the address as to where you are staying, in turn ill give you my cell,house and pager number should you need to contact me for anything.'he said softly as he finished, he gently blew on the salve so it wouldn't sting and bandaged her shoulder."Such a pretty woman should not have such a scar Miss Kari."he said softly as he gently covered her shoulder with her sweater again.

[abbykari]

As he touched her scar she winced turning her head so he didn’t see the pained look on her face, she did not speak but just shook her head at first “you’re the doctor” she said taking a deep breath in as he finally stopped poking her scar. She sighed as he continued she had known this for along time but never did anything about it and so nodded “please send them to my address “she said “I just arrived here two days ago and don’t know my way around yet” she held the top tight against her chest she watched him drop some herbs into a stone bowl and crush them down soon he was done as she turned her back to him, as she felt the salve she bit her lip ,but felt the gentle motions as he applied it for some reason relaxed as he did it enjoying the motions he made against her skin , her eyes closed as though he massaged her . When he spoke her eyes opened quickly “thank you, I have to admit since its been playing up I have not had a good nights sleep, I wake early in the morning and just can’t seem to fall back to sleep “ she could not help but sigh as she felt his gentle breath against her back her fingers curled tight around her top at the feeling she got, her mind now raced “could he be, could he be the one?” she asked herself but then pushed that though back in her mind “no, he probably had some one already and that’s how he knows just where to touch “ she said as she felt him help her with her sweater.
Hopping down from the examination table she felt h legs wobble slightly, and she frowned, in all her years that had never happened before, then again she had never met a doctor like him ether

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt frowned when he noticed the face she had made when he touched her shoulder, catching the look before she turned."I'm sorry if I've hurt you, it was not my intention miss Kari."he said softly with a bow to her as he took off his gloves and disposed of them. He turned to a cabinet and took out a series of packets which had sachets of chamomile and gave them to her along with a prescription for pain medicine. "I will deliver the meals myself as i had forgotten that you may not know you're way around yet."he said softly. "Besides I have to come around anyways to give you the salve every day and to check in on you."He really just wanted an excuse to be near her ."Now heres my card it has all my numbers ,the address here and my home address should you need to contact me day or evening..evening would be best though as Ive long hours here during the day."In actual fact he was asleep during most of the sunlight hours, but being as old as he was he could venture out if he had fed well that day, so most patients put up with his odd hours since he was considered one the best doctors around. He then frowned when she said she hadn't had any sleep."Well a pretty girl like you should have a restful sleep, perhaps you should have your boyfriend give you a massage to help relax you before bed time?"he said softly, thinking to himself that this woman as beautiful as she was had been with dozen of guys,where as he had only been with fiancee and that had been decades ago, since then he hadn't the heart to be that close with a woman until this woman came upon his office today and stirred within something he thought was long buried."I wonder if she could be the one..my beloved said she would send someone threw the ages to take care of me..perhaps this woman is she." He then stood and went to a small box."Now since you've been a good girl and hadn't wiggled or bit your poor Dr Kazama during your treatment..you get to pick one the prizes from my prize box and you get a lolly as well."he said softly as he took three lollies from his lab coat for her to choose from waiting for her to pick a prize from the box as well."

[abbykari]

Abby shook her head “not you didn’t” she said “the man who gave me this scar is the one who gave me my pain” she looked at him then with a sigh spoke again “I am sorry, I don’t have a boyfriend, in fact I am quite alone in this world, if a massage is part of the prescription isn’t it down to the doctor to fill it? “She said stopping to pick up her jacket intending on slipping it on, so she could leave. On hearing him speak she turned around smiling at him stood holding several lollies’ and a small box.
Moving back to him she slipped her hand in the box feeling around she brought out a necklace with a symbol on it, she looked at it then to him “love, what’s it supposed to mean?” she said meaning the rune symbol “ love hasn’t been in my life for years “ she held it in her hand. Moving to the desk she wrote down her address and phone number, tarring the paper from the pad she folded it in two before taking his hand in hers “Here’s my address “she said For a moment she just held his hand in hers the same feeling there again, the rune necklace now dangling between them, her eyes looking up at him. She could not help feel as if she knew him. As if in a previous life there had been something between them something passionate and good

Reluctantly she turned away realizing she had been staring at him , her heart beat fast in her chest as she moved to the door “I await your arrival doctor, what time ?” she asked slipping his card into her pocket as she knew fairly well she would not miss any appointment with this strange yet familiar doctor. She brushed some of her hair behind her ear as she left the room with a smile “thank you” she said to the receptionist as she passed now she knew she and to return home and wait.

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt frowned slightly when he told her of a man who gave her the scar had given her the pain she felt now."No man should put his hands upon you and give you pain."he said as he softly growled, wanting to put the man who did such a thing to this woman deep in a grave never to pain her again.
He grinned a silly boyish grin as he took off his glasses and put them on his head as not loose them when she said that wasnt it down to the Dr to fill the massage part of her prescription because she didn't have a boyfriend to do that."Oh I'm sorry you dint have someone to look after you, i too am alone like that, except for my sister,obachan..which is my dear grandmother, and my parents but they all live in my village back home..not here where i work and where i live..here its just me and my little dog..oogie..he's a poodle. but i would be most honored to fill the requirements."he said softly hopeing she didnt think there was something funny with him being all alone with just a dog for company. he then turned when she selected a lolly and a prize from the box and smiled softly at her when she picked the necklace with the symbol on it , as no one ever picked that one out untill today."I haven't a clue as to what that means Miss Kari perhaps you've got a guaridan angel trying to tell you something? they say every person has someone watching out for them..but im sorry that love hasnt been in your life, it's a pity for someone as lovely as you to be alone, now a old doctor like me well no one minds if he's a lonely old bachelor now do they?"he said poking fun at himself to make her relax with him. He blushed and turned his head when she held his hand breifly, it was as if a fire had started up in him, starting at his hand then moving all over his being. It was when she looked him in the eyes he felt postive that she ahd known him and he had known her before , long ago and that their had been love between the two that had been pure..that had been right, but he had to make sure that she was truely the one his beloved had spoke about those many years ago in her dying breathe.
He let go his hand when she let hers go. He saw she had been stareing at him and grinned because he had been stareing at her."what did i leave my glasses on my head again?'he said softly as he patted the top of his head and found his glasses resting there and took them out of his hair and put them back on."I'll arrive at seven if thats allright miss kari?"he said as he waved goodbye to her as she thanked him."No thank you miss kari, take care of yourself."as she left. Now he had to wait untill his office closed so he could speed home,get ready,get her food and pack things up for her and go to her.

[abbykari]

She arrived back at her apartment, it was small but as she liked, her shoulder had seem to stop throbbing after he placed the balm on it, she placed the sachets beside her bath and headed for the living room only picking up a few cushions that she used to sit on when she couldn’t be bothered sitting on the couch, her face seem to light up, as she passed a mirror that hung in the hall she paused for a moment she saw herself dressed in a regal Japanese kimono stepping back she turned away only to turn back to see herself looking rather ruffled “a daydream nothing more” she said softly as she headed for her bed room, slipping out her day clothes to be comfortable and so he could place the rub on easier .

She could not help but let a smile cross her face she slipped off her top in the bedroom, turning she saw her scar and sighed. But in her mind she remembered the feeling of his hands on her, reaching back she touched a spot he had, feeling the balm still soft against her skin. She looked at it as she brought her hand forward there sat a smooth paste, a subtle sent rose came from it and she brought her had closer. Closing her eyes she could smell cherry blossom and she saw a couple sat under a cherry blossom tree, both smiling.

Quickly she wiped it off slipping out the rest of her clothes she just slipped on her trousers and top leaving nothing under it as she planned once he’d left to sip into a warm bath and just soak for several minuets.

Moving back into the kitchen she placed two cups on a tray as she set about heating the hot water, just in case he wanted something hot to drink. She knew she would, as she had not eaten, it was more a case of she did not feel like it. The pain and been so sever she just brushed it off. Opening the fridge she saw an unopened bonito box and she sighed remembering how she’d bought it that morning but then found out it was for a family and so there it sat unopened and uneaten in her fridge.

Moving back into the living room she moved to sit cross legged on the couch, she liked this position as it relaxed her , closing her eyes she still could smell the sent of him around her and this unnerved her, why was she still smelling him even after she’d changed her clothes , she didn’t know whether she should like it or hate the fact she though these thoughts .

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt was glad when the last patient left,his nurse went home and he locked off the office ,he had gone home and grabbed a bag of blood from out the fridge(which he had taken from the local blood bank , he let his fellow doctors think he was a hemophiliac that needed blood transfusions. ) He then went to change into more causal clothing, some black jeans, a pullover black sweater, and his favorite black hoodie and his favored chuck Taylors. He checked his underarms, his breathe, and his other various bits and peices for bad smells as he got ready, he sprayed himself with some light smelling body spray that smelt like pumpkins and spice. and then his cologne which had a nice smelling spicy flair to it, he never wore anything too strong. He then readied and packaged more salve for Abby , as he did he thought about that horrible scar she had that pained her, how he wanted to take the pain away from her., how he wanted to give her only pleasure and happiness. He also thought back to the glimpse of her skin and her body he was honored to see as he put the salve on her and how her skin felt. It made his jeans feel tight when he thought about it, and wondered how her skin felt and smelled elsewhere., how it might taste."Stop it Gack, or you'll scare someone going out the door like that."t he said to himself as he got ready to go out the door and calmed himself down before he opened the door and headed out, he went to his motor bike and put on his helmet, started up and headed to the temple to pick up Abby's meals before heading to the address she had given him. As he rode he kept thinking about her , flash back of memories haunting his head, he thought back to his engagement day but this time it wasn't the pale face his fiancee but Abby's. He finally arrived, turned of his bike, and rang the bell "hello, its me Dr kazama.""

[abbykari]

Abby heard a knock on the door and also herd it washer new doctor she threw the last cushion onto the couch but it rolled and landed on the floor cursing it she left it instead turning to the door grasping the handle she opened it just wide enough for her to look out, the light had gone and the streetlights now lit the road “Quick get in” she said grasping his hand and pulling him in “sorry about that, we’ve had quiet a few attacks in the area” she said as she quickly shut and bolted her door “some say its gangs “ he said just as she heard a siren rush past her door , she looked at him as if to say “told you” but she said nothing .

Moving away from the door she moved past him “well, welcome to my home” she said leading him to the living room, quickly picking up she cushion as she saw it still on the floor “would you like some tea before we start?” she said now placing the cushion down in a chair she had. As she looked at him she became increasingly nervous, him, her alone, and him about to plaster her scar with more paste. It was then she sighed realizing it did work her shoulder had not hurt for several hours “please make yourself at home” she motioned to the couch “so doctor, what shall we start with first?” she asked looking into his eyes once more. Then it happened again and over whelming sense of relaxation, as if she was comfortable with him as if she had been with him more than once, her heart raced again and she sat on the couch next to him, her cheeks now flushed, around her neck she wore the necklace she had been give.

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

, As he took off his helmet while being pulled in he realised where he was , it was the bad part of the city and he started to worry about abby with her being alone as she told him about gang attacks happening in the vicinity and the sound of sirens outside. "I know that abby..may I call you that? i see a lot paitents from this side of town, when you gave me your address i began to worry about you being alone by yourself, keep your door locked and make sure you check on who it is before you open the door and promise me you'll get yourself a dog in the future."he said sternly to her. He looked around the place as she led him around , he noticed she had managed to pretty up the place with her selection of furniture and decoration, his eye was caught by the placement of a wall scroll and orchid in a vase in the alcove."Excuse me abby, but where did you get those and how did you know where to put them in your home."he said softly as he knew not many foreigners knew about the japense custom of the wall scrolls and flowers placed in the alcove. He unzipped his jacket and put the things he brought down on her table as she told him to make himself at home and asked him if he would like some tea."Tea would be great for now thank you."he said as he sat down on the couch and she asked him what they should start with first."Well i think you should eat, you're far to slender for my liking.."he said teasingly to her..thinking that shewas perfect..well what he had managed to see of her was." Then i think i shall plaster your shoulder and perhaps a massage to get the stiffness out?"

[abbykari]

Abby looked at him and sighed “I plan sooner or later to move from here “she said watching him as he looked around her apartment “Ow those I don’t know they just felt right there, I picked them up in a stall in a market, second had I believe” what she didn’t ell him as she got them because she thought she recognized them from somewhere. When he said he’d like tea she smiled and nodded , moving into the kitchen she placed the kettle of hot water on the tray with the cups and all the things she would need , bringing it threw she placed them on a table in front of him, using a cloth she cleaned the inside of the cup, placing it down to her right she then picked up a ladle and taking some of the tea she placed it into the cup that she held , once done she replaced the kettle lid and placed the cup in front of her , taking a small brush stirrer she stirred it clock wise three times and set that down beside her she kept everything neat and in order , soon she was finished and she held it out to him. Then did the exact same for her cup. She sat facing him as she drank “I am not thin, though I have to admit I haven’t had the apatite to eat anything lately, not much fun eating alone and when your in pain too, not much fun.” she moved to sit next to him on her couch her cup held in her hand she sighed “if you don’t mind me saying it sounds nice, and please call me Abby, I don’t stand on formalities, well not all of them” she said thinking to what she had just done with the tea and she chuckled to her self .

[*Dr. Gackt A. Kazama]

Gackt nodded as she said she was planning on moving from her apartment here."There are many houses where i live, my house was a present from my obachan for when i was going to be married, unfortunately for myself..my beloved died."he sais softly with a very sad look on his face, but brightened when she talked about the scroll and the flowers in the vase."second hand? you found some treasures there, the scroll and vase are very valueble."He said , which in fact they were, the vase had been an engagement present from his beloveds parents and the scroll was his and his beloveds name along with the symbols of each house a dragon for his family and phoneix for hers."Not most people would have thought to put them there, its the japense way to do so, you've taken to our ways very fast abby."he said as he then watched her peform the tea ceramony and sucked his breathe in as he watched her movements. The were the very same careful and exact movements of his beloved all those years ago when she had peformed the very same act to show that she loved him and had excepted his proposal. He watched her again as she offered him the first cup and he thanked her."arigato abbychan, ..thank you., you do the tea ceramony flawlessly as if you've done it time and time again." he said softly."You remind me of someone i knew long ago she's was very pretty like you and far too skinny too."he said teasingly. he frowned whens eh said she had been in pain and not had much appetite."Well we will just have to change that now won't we abbychan."he said as he took a sip of tea and smiled for it was very good indeed."The tea is very good, abbychan, i feel like an honored guest."he began to undo the lid for her dinner."The monks have assured me that everything there is organic, im going to eat just some soup..ive got a bit of sour stomach, my nurse says im working my self to the bone, she says i need a wife..but what does she know eh."he said with a laugh and then smiled when he saw she was wearing the necklace. He went and sat closer putting his cup down as he leaned forward and touched it to look at it, as he did the rune character changed to the japense symbol for love and then back again, he sucked his breathe in again knowing he had proof now that she was the one his beloved had said she was sending to him ,which he suspected would be his beloved come back from the grave ..from beyond the ages back to him.
