Chapter 7

Hey long time no see people, forgive me for the sudden almost year long hiatus on this story. But finally here's chapter 7~ sorry its a short, chapter 8 will be a little longer than this.

Hope you enjoy this chapter ;v;

Haise jumped up with a yelp, panting heavily from his disturbing nightmare. He felt himself drenched in sweat and tears, crawling out of bed Haise grabbed some new clothes too sleep in and headed in the showers not caring how late it is too be taking a shower right now. Taking the drenched clothes off and in a hamper he turned on the shower and went in to clean all the sweat off of his body.

Forehead touching the wall, Haise let the hot water fall on him as he stood silent in the shower. The night kept repeating on and on in his head and he couldn't help but wipe some lose tears that were in his eyes. "I'm not weak….I'll show that damn Centipede who's the strongest once again.." he muttered too himself as he grabbed the soap and started too scrub his body.

Once he was done in the shower Haise changed and went right back too bed, thinking of plans to do when he gets up in the morning or afternoon. Hopefully his old self would give him a break and let him get some actual rest. After all…he did need it after that torture.

When he awoke his head was killing him, not getting the proper rest he needed due to his horrid nightmare that ruined his night. Rolling out of bed once more he walked out of his room and right into the kitchen to start brewing himself some coffee to wake up, skipping the shower since he took another one last night. Hand going under his shirt as he scratches gently his stomach as he lets out a yawn while he watches the coffee brew. Turning his attention to the remote he turned on the tv and began to watch whatever was on the television that the squad might had watched when they came home last night.

Some game show was playing as he just sits down quietly and watches while he waits for the coffee too be done. He wasn't really listening to what was going on with the game, no he was too busy thinking about how to become mentally stronger too defeat the Centipede in his head.

He didn't like what I did too him last time I fought back….if I do that again…no I can't repeat that. But maybe….I can…..no…no I can't be that inhuman in my head…even if it was my previous self. I'll get him…sure as hell I will.

When the coffee was done Haise helped himself to two cups before the rest of the Q's squad was awake and moving. He then got up and started making breakfast while his squad cleaned and dressed themselves for work today.

Once everything was made, eaten, and then cleaned they all headed out to start their work day, the Qunix were moving on ahead while Haise was a little behind them. Mutsuki noticed that his mentor looked like he was staring into space or something. Getting closer to Haise he waved a hand in front of his face to wake his mentor from wherever his mind was at. "Are you okay sir?"

"O-Oh sorry Mutsuki I wasn't paying attention, uhhh yes I am okay. Just didn't get a good nights rest last night…don't worry about me." he reassures the other.

"Oh okay sir. I uh hope you get some proper rest soon." the teen said kindly to his tired mentor.

Haise smiled kindly at Mutsuki. "Thank you Mutsuki, I hope so too."

Finally making it to work Haise was automatically thrown with paperwork while his squad went to do some training for a bit while Saiko stayed. This made Haise bored and beyond tired to the point he was telling Saiko to do stuff just to keep him awake. By the time it had hit two o clock Haise had finally finished that dreaded paperwork he sighed and suddenly his forehead collided with the desk blacking out instantly.

In the depths of his mind a creepy like chuckle could be heard and the sounds of may be a bug wiggling around in someones hands directly into his ear.

"Hey Haise….do you want to find out what a centipede sounds in your ear?"

Haise's eyes opened as he yelped, awaking from the dream that almost turned into another horrid nightmare for him. Haise heard a whimper and blinked the sleep out of his eyes before realizing what was in front of him.

Saiko was hiding behind a few investigators who all had their weapons out as they were trying to fight off the kagune that had been released from the sleeping Haise.

"Rank One Sasaki…..are you alright?" asked one of the investigators in a calm matter.

"Y-Y-Yeah….how did….i'm so sorry.." Haise didn't know what too say.

Arima walked in just in time to hear everything that was going on in this very room. "Do you remember anything before….well this?" Arima asked, pointing to one of Haise's tendrils that was the closest one towards him.

Haise shook his head. "All I remember sir was finishing the paperwork…I was so tired after that…and then I passed out I believe." he looks up at Arima. "I never meant for this too happen…I would never Arima….."

"I believe you Haise." Arima responded to the other, reading the others eyes like a book. He could also see how tired and confused the other was, Arima then turned his attention to the crowd in Haise's office. "Is it okay if I talk too Rank 1 Sasaki alone please? All you people in here are not helping him calm down…."

Without any protest all the investigators including Sakio left the two alone to talk.

Arima pulls up a chair and sits across from Haise's desk. "There's no need to fear Haise and you know that. Can you please put your kagune back?" he asked the two toned investigator in a calm manner.

Haise nodded and slowly calmed himself down and retracted his kagune, once that was over he rubbed the back of his head and blushed slightly from embarrassment. "I-I'm so sorry about that Arima….I would never-"

"Don't worry about that Haise…I want to know what causing you trouble to the point you look dead tired coming into work. Is everything okay at the Cheatu?" Arima questioned the other.

"Y-Yes Arima….everything is fine….I'm just not getting the proper rest I need…but don't worry about it. It'll pass eventually." he laughs nervously at the end, his hand coming up to rub his own chin gently.

"Forgive me but I don't believe what your saying Haise." there was then a long pause before Arima spoke once more. "Have you been having nightmares Haise?"

Sasaki shoulders twitched slightly in response before he smiles at Arima. "What would give you that idea Arima? I've just been busy at that Cheatu with taking care of the squad and doing paperwork at home." he lies once again.

Arima didn't believe him and just stares at him. He saw Sasaki's shoulders twitch in response to his question…there was no hiding that the young investigators mind was being plagued by nightmare very night.

"Haise…its just you and me in here, you can tell me the truth. I'm here to help you and too make sure we don't have another random incident again incase next time gets too far. Now answer me….are you having nightmares almost every night Haise?"

Sasaki fake smiled didn't last long as it then finally turned into a frown as a defeated sigh left his lips. "Every night Arima….every night."

Arima then gets up from his seat and makes his way towards the door. "Then I will find someone that can help you with your internal struggle Haise. Thank you for telling me, you can go home…oh and me and Akria will take care of your squad till the mean time. Give you a break from their wild actions they may have." he then leaves the room and shuts the door leaving Haise alone.

Arima now knows whats going on now.

After chapter 8 things are going to get juicy again...and when I mean again I mean blood. ovo
