My pen name is "makasarili" which means "selfish". I am posting this story for myself, or so I tell myself, but I find that I am addicted to reviews.
Warnings: There maybe spoilers here and there, especially in the following chapters.
No other warnings.
I am too lazy to give any more warnings and they tend to become spoilers.
---------------------
Tsuzuki was quiet as he walked beside Watari. He didn't want to go on this mission in the first place, but he remembered the alternative and drew a deep breath. This was better than the alternative.
"Hey? Are you alright?" Watari asked. The scientist didn't want to ask Tsuzuki to come with him on this mission but there was no one else he could ask.
"I'll be fine." Tsuzuki said with a weak smile. "I'm just nervous that's all."
"I really didn't want to ask you or Bon to come but - "
"I know." Tsuzuki interrupted him, hoping they could just change the subject. "If this keeps up you will have a real patient on your hands." He said with a short laugh.
"A real nervous wreak." Quipped Watari in return, but he tried to give a reassuring pat on his friend's back.
Tsuzuki thought of Hisoka and the briefing earlier.
-------
Watari had to investigate a mental ward.
The patients who died were labeled as suicides, but the Kiseki wasn't listing them as suicides, they were being listed as third party deaths - accidents and murders. It wasn't clear if they were accidents, murders or a mix of both, but it surely was not suicide.
Watari could not do this assignment alone. The choice was either Hisoka or Tsuzuki. Neither one wanted to do it themselves, but they didn't want their partner to do it either.
"His empathy combined with that environment!" Tsuzuki appealed to Kanoe and Tatsumi.
"What about your own feelings?" Hisoka demanded. He could feel that Tsuzuki was scared and he sensed it wasn't just because of his partner's concern for him, there was something more personal, but the secret Tsuzuki kept still remained out of his reach.
They had a loud insane exchange about how each was unsuited to go into the mental institution.
"What if some maniac touches you?" Tsuzuki cried.
Hisoka bristled. "Is there a greater maniac that Muraki?"
"There will be lots of crazy people there. Can you handle being around so many patients? All day, all the time?"
Hisoka hated losing an argument, but everything Tsuzuki said was annoyingly true.
"Baka! There has to be a better way!"
No one could think of one and the people upstairs wanted this resolved as soon as possible.
Tsuzuki promised himself that he would make it up to Hisoka later. Hisoka was still part of the mission, but at least he was safe from direct contact with the mental patients.
The choice was so simple thought Tsuzuki, but now as they came closer to the hospital he felt butterflies in his stomach.
