Epiphany ~ Chapter 37, Part 1.

-Narrator-
Yuna had remembered Y/N mentioning going to a nearby clinic after their meeting, so her main priority was to ensure she was safe. She felt guilty for letting her go despite the fact that she had a bad feeling about something potentially happening but on the other hand she didn't want to knowingly interfere with Kureto Hiragi's plans and invoke his wrath.

She wasn't so sure where she was going, after all this was an area she was unfamiliar with, but after asking around a bit and a few minutes of driving she eventually found it. She hopped out of the car and went round to unbuckle Nico,

"Ok, let's go sweetheart."

"Wait mama, isn't this the doctors?" He asked in a slight panic,

She almost chuckled at his sudden worry, "Don't worry it's not for you, baby." She reassured him,

He breathed a heavy sigh of relief before he looked up at Yuna, "Is it for you? Are you sick mama?" He placed the back of his hand on his mother's forehead, mimicking what had he done to him when he was sick,

"No, I'm fine. I just have to ask them a quick question, okay?"

He nodded, "Let's go." She smiled at him.

She entered, carrying Nico at her hip and was greeted by the receptionist, "Hi, how can I help you miss?"

"Ah, I was just wondering if your patient Y/N L/N has arrived for her appointment today."

"No she hasn't, we were actually trying to contact her but she isn't responding."

Her worst fear had been confirmed and Yuna started nervously biting her nails,

"Have you contacted her guardian?" Another receptionist asked their colleague,

"Master Guren is out on a mission so he's been unreachable for the past few months or so." She responded,

"Oh, shit." Yuna muttered, under my breath, "Nico don't say that word."

"Hmm what word?" He asked,

"Don't worry about it."

Suddenly what seemed to be a doctor entered the reception and leaned against the desk, "Hey," she addressed casually, "Has Y/N turned up yet? I know she's been arriving late recently but isn't this a little too late?"

"Actually that young lady there was just asking for her." The receptionist pointed to Yuna,

"Ah, so I'm assuming that's a no." She nodded before turning to her, "Hi, are you an acquaintance?"

Yuna nodded, "Actually I came because I was worried about her, it's quite a long story to explain but-"

The doctor seemed to understand immediately, "Wait a minute, follow me." She walked ahead, peeping into a few rooms before finding an empty consultation room and inviting Yuna in, closing the door behind her,

"First of all, I'm Adora. I'm Y/N's doctor but I'm also Guren's close friend so I know quite a lot about what's happening." She explained, leaning back against the door,

"That's good news." Yuna sighed in relief, "I'm Yuna, this is my son Nico." Nico waved at her and she smiled, gently waving back,

"I came here because I think I set Y/N up I think she may have been kidnapped by Kureto Hiragi." She exasperated, before explaining to her how the situation came about,

"Yuna, you were coerced into helping him, it's not your fault, okay? Maybe that's not even the case, maybe she went home, look, I'll call their house phone and maybe she'll pick up." She took out a mobile phone and looked for a phone number before ringing it,
