A Tense Check Up
Yeah Drea Mikami, do you know her?" Saanvi asks curiously and Michi nods, fiddling with the little trinket in her pocket. Something her sister had given her back when they were children, a stone arrowhead they had found while exploring. After Drea had left and never returned Michi kept it with her all the time.
"I'd say so, she's my older sister." Michi sayswith just enough venom to make Saanvi flinch. She had never heard Michi sound this upset before. Michi looked so hurt at just the mention of her sister. "I can't do this. I'm sorry Saanvi but I can't. I haven't seen her in eight and a half years. She probably still hates me," Michi says with a grimace and Saanvi nods, not wanting to make her friend uncomfortable. She could easily tell that there was some sort of unsettled dispute between the two sisters.
"It's fine Michi, I'm sorry I mentioned it." Saanvi says quickly trying to turn this around before her friend has a panic attack. Before the slightly younger woman could a far off look came over her eyes and Saanvi immediately knew it was a calling so she sat Michi down.
……
Michi looks around her surroundings dazedly before quickly realizing where she was and immediately spiralling at the sight of the trail. "Gekai, calm down, you're okay, and so am I." Michi hears a very childlike voice and Michi turns to see a child vaguely familiar to her.
"Ōmu, is that you?" Michi asks timidly and the girl with raven black hair nods sweetly, coming to the young adult, and hugging her tightly before looking Michi in the eyes.
"Yes, it is me but I can't stay long. Mich you have to go and see Drea again, no matter how stubborn she is about it. I know she hurt you and you believe that she blames you for all that happened. My death was not on either of your hands now go please. Don't let past grudges tear apart your relationship. Help her, help her, help her! "Aia repeated as the calling ended leaving Michi breathless.
……..
"Alright then, Saanvi I guess we should get going." Michi says, causing Saanvi to look at her in confusion before her eyes widen in understanding. Michi had a call about going to meet Eden and see her older sister. "I do have one request though. I want to go home and grab my pets. Sakura helps with my anxiety disorder, and I can't leave Tora home alone." Michi says quietly and Saanvi nods.
"Of course, come on, let's get going." Saanvi says and Michi nods, pulling off her lab coat and punching out, seeing it was time for her to leave anyway as long as another passenger didn't come in before she got out today.
They then went to Saanvi's car since Michi had rode in with her due to her car being in the shop.
……..
Sakura, Tora come on, we're going on a little trip with my friend." Michi calls into the house grabbing the leashes from where they were hanging by the door. At her voice the two pets came running to their owner. Sitting at the sight of their leashes, Saanvi just smiles as she watches from outside the door. It was the first time she actually saw Michi's apartment. It was exactly what she thought it would be. It was decorated in soft pastel colors.
"It's a nice place." Saanvi commented looking at the nervous girl. Michi just gives a smile filled with anxiousness as she hooks the leashes on her pets. She then grabs her medicine and sighs looking at Saanvi. "Hey you know it'll be okay right? I don't know Drea very well, but she seems like she has her head on her shoulders. I'm sure you'll work out whatever problem you're having." Saanvi says as they head back down the hallway to the car.
"I sure hope so," she mutters before they get into the car, Michi taking a deep breath and looking at Sakura. "I'm going to need you to stick close." She told the white fluff ball who nods her head in understanding ready to help her owner like always
………
There was a knock at Georgie's door in the early afternoon and she smiles knowing Saanvi and her friend were here to check four year old Eden out and hopefully tell her everything is good. "Drea bring Eden down, Saanvi is here!" Georgie calls out to Eden's bedroom as she goes to get the door.
There she saw Saanvi and another very familiar young woman who looked to be just slightly older than Georgie herself. "Hello Saanvi, and…. Dr Mikami, am I correct?" Georgie says and Michi nods slowly, still very nervous about this whole thing.
"That is correct, but please just call me Michi," Michi spoke and Georgie gave an understanding look. The curly haired girl then looked at Michi's pets with a small smile. "Oh right, those are my pets, Sakura is the pup and Tora is the cat. You may pet them if you'd like, they're very friendly," Michi says, petting the kitten in her arms.
"Nice to meet you girls, come on in. Eden will be right inside." Georgie says quickly leading the way into the house, Michi making sure to lock the door behind her before quickly following behind until they stopped in the living room.
This is where their eyes met and it almost all went down. Drea nearly looked exactly the same. Her hair was short, she couldn't stand her hair being long, she was wearing a sweater and a worn red cardigan that looked just like the one Michi had given her back on her eighteenth birthday. This was her Drea for sure. Drea seems to notice her as well and basically freezes in place, and they lock eyes.
"It really is you," Michi couldn't help but speak in Japanese, their mothers native language. That seems to snap Drea out of it and she immediately stood up and looked at Michi.
"What the heck are you doing here?" Her sister asks with enough venom to make Michi back up in a bit of fear. She knew this was a bad idea. Why did she let a call bring her here? Did it want her to have an anxiety attack?
That's when she hears a tiny timid voice speak to her. "You swaved me and mommy." The kid stated plainly as if it was the clearest thing in the world. Michi just gave the girl a look of confusion although she was grateful for the distraction. She then looks into the little girl's eye seeing something familiar in them. Pastel blue specks just like Michi's pastel pinks in her own eyes, a power that this four year old probably didn't know about, but that power seemed to connect them because within a moment both their specks flash and Michi was in another calling.
Michi reliving a day she had almost forgotten about. This was the child she had saved a year and a half ago. That little preemie was now four thanks to the callings.
"Your Eden, I remember now." Michi says and Eden nods happily before hugging the young surgeon. Who could feel her older sister's glare on her back. She chose to ignore it for the time being.
That is until she heard Drea ask Saanvi, "Saanvi why did you bring my sister here without asking first." Drea grounds out and Saanvi just rolls her eyes gently putting a hand on Michi's shoulder which the surgeon tensed at before slowly relaxing.
"First off you didn't tell me you had a sister. Michi told me that not you, and second off because she's the only dang surgeon who is willing to help the passengers and Georgie asked me to bring a doctor I trust. Michi is the ownly one I can trust and I trust her with my life. Besides, she already saved Eden and Grace once a year and a half ago. She knows what she is doing." Saanvi says defensively now knowing why Michi was so reluctant to come with her.
"Everyone calm down please." Georgie says calmly looking at Michi who looked very anxious. "Just let Dr. Mikami does her work then we can discuss whatever is going on" Georgie says, giving Drea a glare.z cystic"
Drea just sighs before withdrawing and heading to her room. Michi just gave a sigh of relief as she looked at Eden and gave a slihtly anxious smile. "Alright Eden this may tingle a little," Michi spoke and Eden nodded slowly as Michi let her eyes flash completely pink and she looked at every bone in her tiny body. "She's looking good for being rapidly agef up. Let me check her vitals then I'll be out of your hair." Michi says and Georgie sighs.
"Please don't, Drea has never been very open to us and she never showed such madness except to you. I can tell she loves you very much just please talk to her." Georgie says and Michi sighs but nods.
"Alright, but I don't want Eden to hear this." Michi says and Georgie nods in understanding looking to the four year old
"Go play in your room Eden." Georgie says and the girl nods looking to the bedroom not made for a four year old since she aged up so quickly. She then looks at Michi's cat hopefully and Michi offers a smile.
"Tora, why don't you go play with Eden?" Michi tells the cat whose eyes brighten and quickly follows Eden through the hallway to the bedroom. And Drea came out with a glare at Michi.
"Alright Michi, you did what you had to do, can you just go please?" Drea says but Georgie quickly shakes her head n⁸o as Saanvi leads Michi to one of the couches.
