Viper (Tokyo Rvengers Story)

10 Argument

July 20, 2005

Yūki had been walking around for a few hours while he waited on Mikey and Draken to show up. They decided to meet up by a hospital later in the day to discuss his involvement in the upcoming battle.

Yūki had a short meeting with Osanai the night before to discuss Toman. As much as he didn't want to deal with Moebius, he knew he still needed them. They usually always paid in cash and Kisaki still needed them to get into Toman.

After a while, Yūki decided to head inside the hospital before the others arrived. He had an envelope full of money that he felt the need to give to a certain family. He had visited the girl who was attacked by Moebius the very same day he found out about it. After seeing the condition they put her in, Yūki had purposefully gotten into almost a dozen fights, sending most to the hospital in the process.

As he approached the window that looked into the girl’s room, a middle-aged man angrily approached with a worried woman running after him.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here?!! How dare you come walking in here again after sending my poor daughter into the ICU?!! Get out!" The man sped up toward Yūki as he quickly bowed down.

"I'm very sorry sir." Yūki held up the envelope as he continued, stunning the man for a moment. "I take full responsibility. I usually go near the route where the event happened, but that day I got distracted. I take full responsibility for not being there to protect your girl."

Everyone was silent for a while. Neither the man nor his wife knew what to say. They were still furious and upset about what happened, but for a small homeless kid to show up and try to take responsibility for the whole thing was something they never expected.

"Please take the money. It's not a lot, but it's all I could get in such a short amount of time." Yūki remained bowed toward the both of them as he pushed the money closer. He usually never bowed down to another even if he needed to, but to him, this was an entirely different situation.

The man took the envelope and walked away without saying a word as his wife quietly followed. Yūki stayed bowed for a moment before standing to look into the window once again. He had lied about normally being in the area, but they didn't need to know that. No matter what happened, Yūki would still feel responsible for what happened, because, in the grand scheme of things, he was the one who allowed it to happen.

Slowly, Yūki left the hospital and saw Draken coming closer as he carried Mikey on his back. He started to loudly laugh as he didn't expect to see the leaders of Toman being so chill. However, it soon ended as his laughter woke Mikey from his short nap.

"Man, is this really one of the responsibilities of being the VP?!" Yūki continued to laugh as Mikey got off of Draken with a pout.

Not too far away, Takemichi watched the interaction unfold. He wasn't able to see who Mikey and Draken were talking to, but he recognized Yūki's voice from the previous night. 'Wait, why are they meeting up with that guy from yesterday? I don't think Naoto ever mentioned this guy, unless he's possibly...'

"So, did you guys come to a decision? I do hope you actually have an answer and that I'm not just here to waste my time." Yūki asked with a smirk as he finally calmed down.

"The hospital?" Mikey completely ignored Yūki and turned toward Draken. "What're we here for?"

"A little visit..." Draken looked back at Yūki who had an irritated expression. "You coming with?"

"Just came out. Are you gonna answer my question or should I take it as a no?" Yūki's foot began to tap as he impatiently waited on the answer.

"It was a tie, but Kenchin hasn't answered yet." Mikey looked up at Draken as if telling him to pick the correct answer.
