Blinded

Chapter 18: Oblivion

"He what?!"

Shizuo's loud growl was heard throughout the big hospital, startling all the patients, doctors, nurses and even some of the workers there who happened to pass by the counter.

The male nurse, whose currently dealing with the problem stared back at the blond with a straight face, not even in the slightest bothered by the presence of the fortissimo of Ikebukuro. Any normal people would have been afraid of the man's strength. The nurse might just came from another part of Japan; perhaps Osaka since he had the famous Kansai dialect as he spoke.

"Haven't you heard me, Sir? I told you, Izaya Orihara from room 406 is in the surgery room. This morning, he got out of the room by climbing out of the window. He was caught in a hit-and-run accident; he experienced severe injuries which is a head concussion, but other than that the others are minors. He didn't break anything this time, not even a finger, but he did have several wounds here and there,"

He repeated the sentence slower than before, as if wanting to make sure that the blond heard him right. People were staring at them, and he, being a new nurse who had just recently started working here wouldn't want to get fired so quickly. It wasn't his fault that everyone's attention fell on them;

It was this monster's fault.

Monster? Yeah, this guy IS a monster with that height and that vicious look that could kill.

On top of that, his co-worker kept asking him to calm himself down while saying something like "Dude, stop. That's Shizuo Heiwajima!"

Like hell I'd care who the heck this guy is!

He gritted his teeth as he waited for another response from the blond, who in turn gritted his teeth in an attempt to chase his anger away too.

"Why didn't anyone notice that? And how did he get out with the lack of his eyesight?!" Shizuo barked, clenching his fists on both side as he banged the table.

He was mad. One; because Izaya didn't stay in the room as he was told. Stubborn flea, look what happened now. Two; he was mad at himself for actually leaving the window opened and unlocked. Three; these assholes who never came to check their patients from time to time. And lastly, four; that bastard who dared to hit Izaya and just get away from it-

He would never let the person live; in fact, he would send them flying straight to hell for hurting his flea.

Only he has the power on him, and nobody else shall lay a hand on his property.

"Sir, we're deeply sorry. But could you please tune down your voice? This is a hospital, not a mad house-"

"A hospital? What kind of a hospital that would actually let a person out unnoticed?! You tell me where the fuck is the surgery room right now or else-"

Shizuo was just about to reach out for the desk to hurl it towards the nurse but a hand caught his arm, stopping him in midactions.

He spun around only to spot his famous brother looking back at him with his stoic expression, just like usual. "Kasuka?"

"Stop it, nii-san. Violence won't do you any good," Kasuka replied. His dark brown hair was combed neat as usual while his shirt looked a little too presentable, perhaps he had just came out from one of his filming scene.

People were staring at the both of them. Some whispered words like "Ohh it's Hanejima Yuuhei! But why is he with Shizuo Heiwajima?"

Though Kasuka wasn't bothered by it even in the slightest.
He finally let go of the blond's hand once he saw him calmed down. Shizuo mumbled a shameful "sorry" to him before repositioning his shades. Kasuka walked a little to the counter and asked, "Where is the surgery room?"

The nurse, who was still mad at the tall blond finally pointed out to a direction in the hallway, "Turn left on the third corner, and you'll spot the surgery room at the end of the hall,"

He recognized Kasuka as an actor, but couldn't really make out who he was; whatever, not that he cared.

Kasuka politely thanked him before taking his brother towards the surgery room.

"Kasuka,"

Shizuo started but was immediately cut off by his younger brother's words-
"It's okay, nii-san."

A pang of guilt hit his chest as they silently walked. Kasuka had always been so nice to him, but he always managed to somehow ruin his kindness.

Sometimes he wondered if he deserved to actually become his elder brother.

Now that he looked at the brunette, he spotted a bouquet of roses tugged tightly across his chest. They were red and white roses; did he come here to visit someone as well?

"Kasuka, why are you here?"

"Oh," he stopped to turn to look at the ex-bartender then back at the roses in his arms, "I came to visit a friend,"

Shizuo nodded.

They had finally reached the surgery room. It wasn't that far from the counter, but it took almost 7 minutes to walk.

Kasuka was just about to turn and head towards the ward his friend was in, when suddenly the door opened, revealing an exhausted, bespectacled doctor walking out from the room almost too quickly.

Shizuo frowned instantly. He was just about to ask him about Izaya, when suddenly he spoke-

"Is Mr. Heiwajima here?"

Dun dun dunnn-
Our little Kasuka is here too yayy ;3
