Chapter 2 - The Demon Massacre returns

At Yamiko Memorial Hospital, the people were worried about their loved ones from the explosion. Hiroki, Miyagi and Shinobu discovered that Nowaki got injured his head and on a coma. He's at the hospital room, lied on the bed and covered his body with a blanket. He wore an oxygen mask on his nose and mouth to breathe, dextrose and a hospital heart monitor. Hiroki sat on the chair and held Nowaki's hand. He looked at Nowaki's face. Miyagi and Shinobu were worried at them about what happened.

"Kamijou, we're going home." said Miyagi.

"Okay. See ya tomorrow." Hiroki replied with a sad tone.

Miyagi and Shinobu exited from the hospital room. They're walking at the hallway. Shinobu looked at Miyagi.

"Is he going to be alright to stay there? I mean, he doesn't want to leave alone." Shinobu asked.

"It's okay that he stayed there. Sadly, it was their ninth anniversary." Miyagi answered.

"Oh... I hope Dr. Kusama will wake up soon. He's a nice person." said Shinobu.

Miyagi and Shinobu went home. Meanwhile, a doctor is going to Nowaki's room. He was holding an injection with a purple liquid. At Nowaki's room, Hiroki felt upset for himself.

"Nowaki, Please wake up. I know you're always happy to see me. I'm here for you. Please wake up." Hiroki whispered and cried.

The doctor opened the door. He went closer to Hiroki. He held his injection tightly and smirked. He charged to hit on but Hiroki dodged it. The insane doctor hit the injection on the bed and missed. Hiroki kicked the doctor's stomach. The doctor bumped at the wall. Hiroki got up and grabbed the injection. He looked at it and read 'snake venom - deadly sin'. He grew angry at the insane doctor.

"Why the hell you want to kill me?" Hiroki asked.

"Hahahaha! In many years that we see each other for the first time." the insane doctor laughed and stood up. "Remember me, Hiroki." he smirked.

Hiroki remembered the insane doctor in his childhood memories. "Tsubasa Hatsunaga, your codename is 'Insane'. Long time, no see." he answered.

"Hahahaha! Glad you remembered me. Hahahaha! NOW DIE, YOU $# &!" Tsubasa took out his knife and threw it at Hiroki.

Hiroki blocked it with his briefcase and the knife stabbed it. Tsubasa took out his another knife and ran to kill Hiroki. Hiroki kicked Tsubasa out of Nowaki's room. He pulled out the knife from his briefcase and went out. Luckily, no one was there to see them. He closed the door. Tsubasa punched Hiroki in the face and knocked at the ground. He tackled him by his arms in wrestling style. Hiroki choked and tried to get rid of him. He stabbed Tsubasa's shoulder with the knife. Tsubasa screamed in pain. Hiroki kicked and pushed Tsubasa away. He got up and coughed. Tsubasa slashed but Hiroki blocked using his right arm and wounded with a huge scar. Hiroki and Tsubasa were fighting each other. They were slashing with their knives as sword fighting. Tsubasa charged to stab his target but Hiroki dodged it. He touched Tsubasa's back and pulled Tsubasa's backbone. Tsubasa shocked and fell down. He died by a broken spinal cord. Hiroki panted and dropped the knife. He went forward and looked down at Tsubasa's dead body.

"Sorry... It's your fault to kill me." he said.

The man clapped his hands and appeared at the scene. Hiroki looked at the man.

"Bravo! You defeated Tsubasa. You're still memorize the lessons that I told you." the man with black coat, scarf and brown fedora congratulated Hiroki.

"O'ren-sensei, did you order him to murder me?" Hiroki asked and glared at O'ren.

"Me? I do not. Your rival, Tsubasa worked to the assassination group called the 'Deadly Sin' but fired because you killed him... There's still more subordinates to kill you." O'ren exclaimed.

"They're going to kill me. That's bull $# ^! I quit becoming an assassin. I never kill any people in many years." Hiroki hissed.

"I know and I understand but your life is in danger. The hospital exploded by the Deadly Sin. The boss knows that your boyfriend." said O'ren.

"THEY ARE THE ONES THAT GOING TO KILL NOWAKI!" Hiroki shouted and shocked what O'ren said.

"Chill! You're going to wake the other patients up. Yes, it's true and I didn't know you're gay... Most importantly, Nowaki is still alive. The Deadly Sin is going to kill you because you're the most dangerous man in my assassination group. If you don't do anything, they're going to chop your head off, even your lover. Do you want to survive and save your lover's life? Are you going to perish those guys?" O'ren asked with a honest question.

Hiroki heard O'ren's words and stayed in silent. He looked at the ground and thinking of his decision.

"Well, if you're undecided, I leave your case here. My workers will secure this place. It's nice to see you again, Hiroki Kamijou or I should say, The Demon Massacre." O'ren smiled and walked away.

"Hey! O'ren-sensei!" Hiroki called out but O'ren disappeared. He sighed and saw the case on the front of Nowaki's room. He picked up and went inside the room. He checked on him. Nowaki is still on the bed with a coma. Hiroki felt sad about him. He wishes to wake Nowaki up. He went to bathroom because there's no security camera. He locked close and put down the case. He opened it. Inside the case are a gun and a red and black katana. Hiroki took his katana and removed the case. His katana has a silver blade and written 'The Demon Massacre ' on it. Hiroki stared at his katana and realized that he want to stop the assassination and protect his lover. He already decided.
