Well seeing how I have nothing better to do, here's chapter 4! Let the madness continue!
=============================================================================
Chapter 4
Mariko was walking down the hall when someone ran into her. She looked up and saw a girl with short and spikey hair and brown eyes. Mariko was about to say something but was cut off for about two seconds.
"AHHHHHH I'm really really really really really sorry!" the girl said.
"It's fine." Mariko said as she stood up.
"Are you alright?"
"Me? I'm fine. Fine fine fine fine fine! I couldn't feel better. Why? Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
"Um no I'm fine...."
Mariko couldn't believe how fast the girl could talk. She also noticed that the girl was twitching.
"Well I gotta go. I'm on the run from a gorilla. Bye bye! Vroom vroom vroom!"
The girl ran off in a blink of an eye. A couple minutes later Sayaka came running down the hall. She stopped in front of Mariko to catch her breath.
"Have you seen a girl with short hair and has an extreme amount of high energy?" she asked.
"Yeah she went that way." Mariko said pointing down the hall.
"Thanks!"
Sayaka bolted down the hall after the girl.
"Sae! You get back here!" she shouted.
Mariko couldn't help but wonder what that was about. A half hour later, Sayaka walked over to Mariko looking like she had just run a marathon.
"Thanks for helping me back there." she said as she chugged a bottle of water.
"Who was that?" Mariko asked.
"That was Miyazawa Sae. She's one of my patients."
"What's wrong with her?"
"She has a really bad case of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) where she is so hyper all the time that she's like a chipmunk in steroids. She also has tourettes which causes that twitching she has. She's the facilitie's genking and is always smiling. In order to put her to bed, we have to sedate her and tie her in restraints. That girl can never calm down unless you drug her."
"That must be tough."
"Yes which is why I'm handing her over to you." Sayaka said.
"What?" Mariko said in disbelief.
"I have to go down town for a meeting and someone needs to watch her,"
"Can't a nurse handle her."
"Last time a nurse tried to handle her, she let Sae escape and we had to call the police to chase her down."
"Ohhh."
"That is why I'm giving her to you. I'll only be gone for a couple hours. You can handle her."
"Ok if you say so."
"Good. Oh and one more thing, Sae is ABOSLUTELY FORBIDDEN to have any kind of sugar. If she does, it'll be like setting off a bomb full of electricity. Got it?"
"Yep. Good then I'll leave you with her. There are sedatives in my office if you need any."
"Thanks. Oh what room is she in?" Mariko asked.
"Room 208" Sayaka said.
As Sayaka left, Mariko set off to go see Sae. When Mariko found Sae, she was strapped to her bed in a straight jacket that was chained to the wall.
"Overkill much?" Mariko thought.
Sae saw Mariko and couldn't help but smile at her.
"Where's Sayaka?" she asked.
"She had to go to a meeting." Mariko said.
"I see. Well since she's gone, do you mind taking off these restraints? They're kinda uncomfortable."
"Nice try but no."
"Darn. Hey when's lunch comin? I'm starving!"
Mariko realized that Sae must not be allowed to eat lunch with the others.
"The nurse should be here soon."
There was a knock on the door and Mii-chan came in with a tray.
"Here's your lunch." she said as she placed it in front of Sae.
"Oh Shinoda-san, Yuko was calling for you."
"Really? Ok. I'll be right back so watch Sae for me."
"Ok!"
Mariko left the room to check on Yuko. She found her on the ground staring at a picture of Haruna. Mariko wondered where she got the photo in the first place.
"What do you need Yuko?" Mariko asked.
"I was wondering if you could give this to Haruna. I made it for her during arts and crafts."
Yuko handed Mariko a picture of what looked like a cat with a heart drawn around it. Under the picture, Yuko had wrote
"From your squirrel friend Yuko. I love you Nyannyan!" There were hearts drawn around Haruna's name.
"I'll make sure to give it to her." Mariko said as she turned around to leave.
"Thanks!"
Mariko looked at the card thinking it looked like an eight year old drew it. Not to mention the saying sounded like a middle schooler confessing to the one they like. Yuko really needed help. Mariko walked over to Haruna's room and slid the paper under the crack in the door. There was a moment of silence and then on the inside you could hear Haruna go "EHHHH?" Once that was done, Mariko went back to Sae's room. When she walked in, she found Mii-chan on the ground, Sae gone and the room looked like a typhoon went through it.
"Oi what happened?!" Mariko asked.
"Well..." Mii-chan said straightening herself up.
"Sae said she couldn't eat with her hands tied so I untied her. Then she said she wanted something sweet so I gave her some candy I had in my pocket."
"You what?"
There was a loud crash followed by a bang. Mariko looked out and saw Sae running down the halls like a mad woman.
"Why did you give her sugar?!" Mariko said.
"I, I-"
Mariko didn't have time to hear some lame excuse. She ran out into hall and chased after Sae. But the girl was incredibly fast and hard to keep up. She chose a bad day to wear heels. As she was chasing her, Takamina suddenly got in front of her. Mariko stopped right in time to avoid hitting the midget.
"What's going on?" Takamina asked.
"Sae got loose. And she's also had sugar." Mariko said.
"Not good. Did you call Sayaka?"
"She's at a meeting down town."
"This is bad."
"What's wrong?"
Acchan suddenly came out of the room looking like she had just woken up from a nap.
"Sae's out and is on a sugar rush." Takamina said.
"Not again. Last time she was all hyper she ate my strawberry lip gloss. We gotta stop her." Acchan said.
"I agree and I have an idea. Here's what we'll do."
Takamina explained to Mariko and Acchan how they were going to catch the out of control Sae. They were going to lure Sae with a trail of candy into a room where two of them will be inside with a net while one is outside to lock the door. Mariko thought there was pretty old fashioned but it was worth giving a try. They set up the trap and now they had to wait. Within a couple of minutes, Sae came racing down and saw the candy. She started to eat the candy and follow the trail to the room Acchan and Takamina were in. When she was in, Mariko shut the door and locked it. There was a struggle inside and then silence. Mariko thought Acchan and Takamina had got her. But then the door went flying off its hinges across the other side of the hall. Then a even more hyper Sae came running out laughing like crazy. Mariko ran in to check on Takamina and Acchan.
"What happened?" Mariko asked.
"She overwhelmed us." Takamina said while fixing her bow.
"She's really strong when she's on sugar." Acchan said.
"I know." Mariko said as she looked at the door that was practically blasted out into the hall.
"So now what do we do?" Takamina asked.
There was a pause. Then Mariko remembered Sayaka saying there were sedatives in her office. Mariko quickly ran to Sayaka's office which was suprisingly bland. She looked around everywhere but couldn't find them. Then out of the corner of her eye, Mariko saw a small red box hanging on the wall.
"Incase of Sae on sugar rush, open box." was written on it.
Mariko opened the box and found a blow tube and three darts. Was Sae a wild animal? Mariko didn't care as long as it will stop Sae. She ran out into the hall and saw Sae still running around. Mariko loaded the first dart and took aim. Then she took a deep breath and fired. The dart was heading straight at Sae but then Mii-chan got in the way and the dart hit her in the butt. Within seconds, Mii-chan was out.
"Stupid Gachapin!" Mariko said to herself.
Luckily Sae didn't notice the shot and was still in range. Mariko loaded the second dart and took aim again. She was sure it was going to hit this time. Mariko shot the dart and this time it looked like it was going to hit. But then Haruna and Yuko came running through with Yuko chasing Haruna. Again, the dart ended up missing and hitting Yuko in the butt and she was out to. Mariko thought she must have a thing for hitting people in the butt. Personally, she thought she just saved Haruna. But now Mariko only had one dart left and Sae was even further down than before. Mariko had one last shot and this time she had to make it count. She lined the tube up to Sae. Then she fired and instead of going straight at Sae, it bounced off the wall avoiding Acchan and hit Sae right in the arm. It took Sae a minute to realize what just happened. Then she passed out and was out like a light.
"Yosh!" Mariko said in victory.
"Nice shot!" Takamina said.
"You almost hit me!" Acchan said.
That didn't matter. Now all Mariko had to do was put Sae back in her room. When Sayaka came back, Mariko retuned the blow tube and darts.
"You had to use these?" Sayaka asked.
"Yep." Mariko said.
"How did she get sugar?"
"My nurse was tricked into giving her some."
Mariko looked down at the floor and stard at Mii-chan who was still asleep from the sedative.
"Well at least no one got hurt." Sayaka said.
"Except the door." Mariko said as she pointed down the hall.
"Ahh jeez! I just had that door fixed! Well a anyways, thanks for watching over Sae and I'm sorry for all the trouble she caused you."
"No problem."
Mariko left to go check on Yuko who was also hit by one of the darts. She thought she would still be out like Mii-chan. But to her suprise, Yuko was back at it chasing after Haruna. There was nothing that could stop that girl from going after Haruna. Mariko thought there was nothing in the world that could stop the Haruna crazed squirrel.
