"A new doctor?"

"It's only a temporary assignment." The director declared as he introduced Watari to the rest of the hospital staff.

Some of the nurses let out a sigh of regret. He was so handsome, too bad it was just temporary.

"My name is Watari Yukata. I am very happy to meet you all!" Watari said with a winning smile.

He was rewarded with more sighs of admiration.

"Let me give you the grand tour." The director said, after chasing off the nurses back to their stations.

-------

Tsuzuki was also settled in, as a mental patient.

Watari had told him to act normal, as if he was going to be discharged anytime.

"I can do this." He silently told himself, as he went into the common room.

It was suppose to be simple, but one patient went wild calling him a demon, shouting that he was there to kill them all. She charged at him, with the intent of clawing his eyes out. He ducked under the table, so she won't get to him. He didn't want anyone to get hurt. He didn't want to get hurt himself. He didn't want to explain why he would have bruises that would suddenly fade away, right before everyone's eyes.

The hospital staff managed to subdue the patient. A nurse cried out in pain as the patient clawed at her arm.

Tsuzuki was shaken, not by the violence but the rejection. It hurt, this all too familiar rejection.

"You will be the death of us all!"

He could feel the many eyes on him, even as he hid his face.

She continued screaming as they dragged her away "Demon! You'll kill us all!"

Tsuzuki curled up like a ball under the table. One of the nurses called Watari, while another was trying to coax Tsuzuki to come out.

Watari came and led Tsuzuki to a private room.

"Don't worry everything will work out." Watari still had his sunny disposition. His hand smoothing over his friend's cheek, wiping away the tears. Tsuzuki could say nothing.

The scientist outlined their plan of action. Tsuzuki seemed to recover, having a task set before him.

"For the reputation of Shinigamis everywhere!"

Watari smiled.

-------

"A new doctor?"

"Watari-sensei. He just came this morning."

"It is a little strange no one told me." The doctor said as he wrinkled his eyebrow a little.

"Well, it's only temporary."

". Hmm I see." His eyes narrowed a little.

"If there is nothing else." She asked hopefully, the evaluations were beginning and it wouldn't hurt to earn extra points.

"Were there any new patients today?" He asked with casual interest.

"Well there was one. He came with Watari-sensei. They are actually having a session right now."

"Oh? Really?" He asked as he leaned in a little closer.

"Yes. There was some trouble earlier." She said as she rubbed her arm. "I almost forgot to take his picture." One of the hospital's rules was to take picture of patients ever week for their files in case anyone went missing. She was just filing the pictures when the doctor came.

His eye cast a careless glance over the pictures on her desk. She felt embarrassed over the mess and tried to clear it away. His eye rested on her arm.

"Oh? What happened?"

"Well, Sisa. she attacked him. She went wild calling him a demon, and that he would bring death to everyone. She scratched me hard try to get at him." She showed him her arm, which had some long scarlet marks.

"Oh my goodness, that is terrible!" He said tenderly taking her arm in his hands. It reminded him of another arm covered with scarlet marks. One he knew so well.

"It was a good thing no one else got hurt." She blushed slightly, she wasn't used to this kind of attention.

"You are so right." He said with a sympathetic smile. "Did you have someone look at your arm?"

"Well it isn't really that bad." She knew she could pull her arm back... but she didn't.

"I insist."

"Thank you sensei."
