III: Fury
In Memorial Hospital a lone figure walked silently down one of the many off white halls. Walking past the nurse's desk, no one even looked up at him. He passed several patients who sat in the hallway, some of them turning their faces away as the man passed them, so as not to actually see him as he went by. One of them looked directly at the brown-clad figure and reached out towards him.
The dying man's eyes pleading as the pale hand stretched out to try and touch the man as he passed. "Take me away from here, please." came the harsh whisper from the man lying in the bed. A deep blue eye flickered once towards the voice and then away, as Tatsumi easily avoided the grasping fingers and continued down the hallway towards the room that held his case.
Entering the room, he scanned it silently as he walked towards the bed that held a form covered in bandages. Standing beside the bed, Tatsumi glanced down at the wires that slipped out from under the wrappings and traced their path to the life support system they were hooked up to. He was about to cause the machine to fail for the time needed when a voice caught his attention.
"Who are you?"
Tatsumi looked down into amber eyes that were filled with furious rage. He raised a dark brown eyebrow. "I am here to release you from this place." he stated simply watching Watari. The eyes closed for a moment before opening, the rage dimmed faintly to be replaced by a firm determination.
"Good, I have business to finish with a couple people."
"Oh?"
"Hai, the bastards who did this to me and killed my friend. I won't allow them to get away with it."
"I see, well you'll have to take that up with EnmaDaiOh-sama. I'm just here to release you from this place." Tatsumi said as he walked around the bed, to rest one hand on top of the life support machinery. He glanced once more at the eyes as they followed him, and hesitated as he stared into the amber depths. Shaking himself out of the daze Tatsumi summoned a single shadow to slice the machine's power cord in two. Soon afterwards alarms screeched as the machine's power failed.
Looking over at Watari once more before turning to leave, he noted the eyes had not closed and were still silently intent on him. Tatsumi slipped out of the room as the heart monitor suddenly flat lined and began raising another alarm. Sliding past the nurses hurrying towards the room he had just left, he continued down the hallway ignoring everyone else in his path until he was out of the hospital and walking down the street towards a nearby ally.
