Chapter four: Searching for the unknown man
Otonashi lied awake looking out the window sighing. "Goddammit. I swear. I will find you. And kill you. You goddamn bastard." It started to snow and he smiled.
"I hope they have fun while I'm in here. It would be best for them to not worry." He said before someone came in.
"Yes. It would be best for them to not worry." The man spoke.
"Who are you?" Otonashi asked.
"The one that could of killed you. You little fucker." He said. Otonashi was scared shitless because he couldn't do anything.
"Don't worry. I'll wait until you get better. When you do. Meet me at the park. By yourself. No one else. Just you and me. Only one will leave." the man left and Otonashi closed his eyes. He fell asleep. In the morning the group came to the hospital. Only a few people at a time were allowed to visit. So that meant that the group would have to come in three to four people at a time. First Yuri, Kanade, and Noda came in.
"Please guys. Do not worry about me. Go have fun. I'll get better. I promise." Otonashi said looking at the three, "Tell the others I said that. Yuri, and Noda nodded then walked out.
"I'm going to stay here with you Otonashi." Kanade said sitting down on a chair next to him.
"Are you sure Kanade?" He asked. She nodded and Otonashi smiled.
The rest of the Battlefront had already left and were walking back to Otonashi's house. They walked past a man that was wearing a black and blue hoodie with the hood up and Hinata glared at him as they walked past each other.
"Hinata. Otonashi said to not worry." Noda said to Hinata.
"Yeah. But still. He could go after anyone else. He could be going after all of us for fucks sake." Hinata sighed and kept walking. Back at the hospital Otonashi was standing up. He was well enough to leave. He was trying to choose between the two choices. Leave and get killed possibly, or stay and live for a while longer. He decided to leave. He was going to chance his life to stop the man. He woke Kanade up since she fell fast asleep in the chair next to him.
"Go catch up with the others Kanade. I'll be with you guys soon." He said to her.
"Why?" She asked tilting her head a little bit.
"Just do it. Please." He finished grabbing his coat putting it on and walking out of the room and to the elevator and Kanade followed him and he pressed a button then the doors shut and the elevator went down. Otonashi walked out of the building and to the park. Kanade went to Otonashi's house and sat down on the couch waiting for him to come back. The others were talking being loud. Kanade covered her ears and closed her eyes. Otonashi had made it to the park and the man in the black and blue hoodie was there. He had a few others with him.
"I see you made a full recovery." He spoke.
"I thought you said we were to settle this alone." Otonashi said.
"We are. They're just here if you beat me." He replied.
"You're a fucking pussy." Otonashi said balling his hands into fist running at him punching him in the stomach. The punch and been a direct hit and he flew back a few feet. Otonashi then grab the mans head and slammed it into his knee and the man fell. Bleeding to death. He knew that the man had lost on purpose just so others could do his dirty work. Otonashi looked at them. Meanwhile at Otonashi's house the group had been talking still and Kanade still had her hands over her ears then she got up and ran outside looking for Otonashi. Hinata had noticed and so had Shiina and the two left a few seconds apart from each other. Kanade was halfway down the street about to turn around a corner when she saw someone at the park getting punched and Hinata and Shiina had ran after her.
"Kanade! STOP!" Hinata yelled running. Kanade has just gotten there and looked at Otonashi punching the hooded man. He then ran towards one of the others punching him across the face knocking him out instantly then grabbed a knife off of him then ran at the last man. He stabbed him in the stomach and sliced him open.
He then walked over to the hooded man. He grabbed a wallet and looked for a name.
"Okazaki…"
