The Wanderer

Chapter 5:- Moloch's impatience

"My sentence is for open war. Of wiles,
More unexpert, I boast not: them let those contrive who need, or when they need; not now.
For, while they sit contriving, shall the rest- Milions that stand in arms, and longing wait. The signal to ascend."
 

"I should be much for open war, O Peers,
As not behind in hate, if what was urged
Main reason to persuade immediate war did not dissuade me most, and seem to cast Ominous conjecture on the whole success; When he who most excels in fact of arms, In what he counsels and in what excels. Mistrustful, grounds his courage on despair and utter dissolution, as the scope. Of all his aim, after some dire revenge. First, what revenge? The towers of Heaven are filled. With armèd watch, that render all access Impregnable:"

"Get the fuck off me". A hoarse voice called out from below me. But before getting up, I quickly twisted his hand thus retrieving the weapon he held.

"The hell do you think you are doing?" He couldn't help but ask this with a confused face. I stretched out my right hand to pick him up.

"I don't have time to explain right now, come with us. Police is gonna be here anytime."

I started running and naturally he started too. It is human instinct, if one runs out of nowhere, the others would follow, albeit confused.

There were a lot of things I had to explain to them. Mikey and Draken were a bit further away from me. I saw mikey carrying an unconscious Takemichi.

Sigh. I was correct. There would be times like this where he would be indecisive. If I hadn't rushed to the site at the right time........

It's not the right time yet. We will first fight Moebius, but what follows would be a defining moment for Takemichi Hanagaki.

"So you are finally awake."

"Huh oh, where am I?"

"Calm down Takemichi, you fainted while we were running."

"I see. Are pah-kun and the others alright?" He asked.

"Yes, it was tough. But they told me they will discuss it later as I had to take care of you first."

Someone knocked the door and both of us looked at the source of sound. A head poked out cheerfully.

"Hello! It's me. Oh Ayanokouji-kun you are here too?"

"Ehh Hina-chan....you are here too.... wait what do you mean by the latter part?"

Although he was still feeling awkward and guilty about what took place earlier, he couldn't help but notice the fact that Tachibana knew me.

"Oh about that." Tachibana turned shy after recalling today morning's events. She threw a quick glance at me and I decided to leave the room.

Let's see how their patch up goes.

"Oi, we need to have a talk." Someone said those words to me.

I just nodded my head and followed the two out.

This was inevitable, I can't work my way out of this without talking. We walked for a while even outside the hospital till we were in an alleyway, alone. I looked through, trying to assess my surroundings.
