It had been so long. So long since she had seen it. It’s extraordinary design and a crisp scent of sterilization, herbs and medicine soothed those seeking it’s aid. The hospital looked the same as it had two months before she had gone off on her mission. Now, yes it was true that she had been gone the entire two months but really she had finished what she was there to do within a single day and because in the process she had damaged her location device that woman had gotten hopelessly lost. After smashing through a few buildings and some shaky directions, Omoni Hageshi was in route.
On her way to the hospital Omoni had caught wind of an alarming inclusion during her absence. An evil man had been reborn from the Shin'ōchikadaikangoku and placed in the halls of the fourth. She interpreted this to mean that she needed to scrutinize his judgement. It was not that she didn’t respect Yu’s decision but it did seem to her that a lot of her time was spent nagging the kid into stepping up his game or coming down on him for not performing well enough in her stern opinion. Essentially, she concluded it wouldn’t hurt to get an idea for herself nor would it fade from her mind until she did something. Once the great woman showed up, those in the vicinity were stunned as usual. If it wasn’t her ghastly appearance it was the power emminating from her so fervent she had trouble supressing it. Such an overwhelming sensation could have driven them into the ground but facility wide everyone of them knew that she had arrived and some kind of clash was bound to come between the second and a fresh third. Like a stomping rhino that none in her path could hope to stop she made her way casually through the winding cooridors until the Lieutenant spotted him five feet away from her.
Abruptly, the second seat stood silent while effortlessly maintaining the reality that now that she was finally there, a change of charge was in order. Morbid Curiousity could have been one of the reasons why Omoni opted to do nothing for the time being about what was so dark atleast from her point of view. While some might only see what might have been a snake in the grass...Omoni peered deeper into the weeds where she saw the eggs he sat upon. If anything was clear to her from the first time experiencing the man’s dormant Reiatsu it was that he had something he was guarding. As of yet, Hageshi could not pin point what that was and that great number of possibilities was really what earned her interest in him.
First and foremost, she assessed how the hospital had benefited from or been hindered by his presence there. She took into account the way the medics conducted themselves in response to her arrival or in general. Was there relief in their quick sighs and eyes or did they appear stressed further. Honestly, this would be a little difficult for her to discern because her presence alone was usually enough to experience their avoidance. Actually, there were a few signs that Hageshi could count on reading accurately. Both she and Kaguwa appeared to illicit discomfort from those around them but there were particular differences Omoni caught on her radar. It was immediately plain to see that they did not trust him or his intentions but none in their place would speak up about this. Not even to her. Though he smiled at them and they returned the favor, they were uncertain and that alone was enough to breed distrust. When she passed the halls inspecting their work they were anxious but every single one of them put their faith in her. To them she was a shield that stood between them and those that would seek to do them harm. A valiant warrior stationed to face the horrors they could not while they see to ensure those that need them are tended to safely. Next, she would take into account the condition of the facility at a naked eye’s glance. Were the floors polished, was a nurse or two taking patients in and were those on the lists waiting too long? Were his surgeries getting done in a timely manner and were there records of them? Only a deeper inspection would tell her that.
Now, Omoni could not be so quick to judge the surgeon. After all, it wasn’t but a few years ago that she had taken a trip to the maggots nest herself and she had seen potential in a dangerous convict. The woman had made it her mission to see him released and not only that, given a squad to serve and some might argue a purpose in life seeing as to her pleasant surprise he had been able to secure a Lieutenant’s seat for himself recently. Even so, Omoni could not ignore that when she compared those situations with the present one that in Jinnosuke’s case there had not been the venom dripping off this encounter with Kaguwa. Naturally, Omoni didn’t pay much mind to the vibes she sensed from others simply because anything that she confronted was something she deemed manageable. Either verbally or physically she would force things to move regardless of what could happen to her. Perhaps it was a sort of ignorance that followed the giantess. A sort of ‘ I don’t care what’s going on, I’ll kill whoever I need to whenever I need to.’ thought process played on repeat in the mountain’s head. After taking all of this into account, she greeted him as if he had been anyone. Without a smile and inducing a suspicion that she might have been grumpy.
“ Kagūwa. Been lookin’ forward to meetin’ you---”
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Just as she opened her mouth to speak to the man again, a portion of her Hakama let out a shrill sequence of chimes. This immediately garnered Hageshi's attention and prompted her to retrieve a Denreishinki.
After a brief few seconds of leering at the message Yu had left for her, Omoni turned on her heel and immediately backtracked her way through the halls and out of the hospital. This was without pardoning herself for such a sudden exit almost as if Kaguwa and what was on her mind before no longer mattered. It was that simple for the great woman that she had deemed whatever called her away to be worthy of her time more so than inspecting the new recruit or even meeting up with the Captain to greet him.
Once she emerged from the division four doors, Omoni took another look at her location device. Although she didn't expect the dead screen to change she still glared helplessly at it as if perhaps her anger would terrify it into rebooting itself. When this did not happen, Hageshi released a small sigh and looked forth to her path ahead. It was going to be touch and go for a while but surely she would find her way there.
