Souji gave a sigh of relief as the door clicked behind Chisaki. That had been intense. He didn't know how, but he'd talked his way out of this... by getting Adachi in trouble. Shit.
He lay back down and stared up at the ceiling. Tomorrow, huh...? He needed to apologize to everyone for what had happened... he needed to find Izanami again. Apologize for that too... Hopefully that mirror he'd gotten from her was with his things. Actually, he couldn't really remember where he'd put it after she gave it to him.
Despite everything, Souji actually felt a lot less depressed now. There was still the fact that Izanagi wanted him dead and Christmas was officially ruined, plus that whole chaos with someone getting killed and it being his fault.
--------------------
Adachi groaned as Chisaki cleared her throat and opened one eye. Despite how well the doctors had fixed him up, his face was still a wreck.
"Nekoi-san? What are you doing here?" Adachi asked.

Chisaki didn't move from where she was standing. She crossed her arms and fixed him a glare in the eyes. Or eye. That teenager had really messed him up. Not the face of a killer. She shook her head and her glare deepened. It would be better if he'd come outright.
"Adachi, I know."

Adachi winced and sat up. She knew? What exactly did she know? He shook his head and looked back toward Chisaki, still wearing the facade he usually did.
"Know? Know what?"

Chisaki frowned. Damn, she knew it wouldn't be that easy. She was maintaining her position by the door. If she had to shoot him, it would be very problematic. Why couldn't these god damn rooms have cameras!? Screw patient privacy! She shifted her weight to her other leg and shook her head. Her expression hadn't shifted that much. She still looked pissed. However, she still had the faint traces of worried and caution.
"All of it. Takahashi isn't very subtle."

There was a rather long pause after that. Adachi looked a little shocked. He closed his one open eye and looked down, and was silent for a few more moments before beginning to chuckle. His words were a bit slower and those who knew him would realize he'd dropped the mask as he began to speak.
"Just from that, huh... you're damn observant, Chisaki."

Chisaki frowned at the chuckle. Had part of her hoped she was wrong? She had to fight the urge to make sure she knew her position by the door. She'd been paying attention to it, she knew it. She was confident she could draw her gun before he reached her, he was still in bad shape. More than that, the hospital wouldn't have left him with access to a weapon.
"It's the only way things make sense, Adachi. The story from those kids was full of holes. Takahashi isn't that unstable, and you know I don't believe that curse crap. I get why you tried to kill him. Souji too, if he knew. Adachi, we've got enough evidence, enough facts. I'm sure Takahashi will be happy to confirm you tried to kill him. Do that boy you killed a favor and tell us where you stashed his body."

Adachi actually looked pretty confident with himself as Chisaki explained how she'd figured it out. No, she had part of things wrong. He hadn't killed that miko, someone borrowing his body had been, though Adachi doubted that mattered to Chisaki. His smug expression changed to a death glare as Chisaki implied he'd killed Bakura.
"You've got that part wrong, Chisaki-chan. I've never killed any boys. The only people I've ever killed were annoying bitches like you," Adachi snarled. He looked at his arm. He'd already gotten in trouble once for this today, but right now Adachi didn't care. He pulled the tube from his arm and stood up before taking a couple steps toward Chisaki. His eyes glanced toward the TV across from his bed. If she got pissy, there was always that route...

Chisaki tensed up as Adachi began to speak again. That voice difference was night and day. Killers rarely looked like killers, but at the moment, Adachi was pulling the effect off flawlessly. Even with his condition... She had her hand on her gun and pulled halfway out of the holster as he pulled the tube from his arm. She took a side step so that her free hand was right next to the doorknob.
"I wouldn't try it, Adachi. I'm not the only one that has this evidence. You want to dig yourself deeper by killing me? With your injuries, I could easily shoot you," she lifted the gun higher to make her point, "The fact is you're the one that was watching that white haired boy. If you didn't kill him, what did you do to him?"

Adachi gave another chuckle as Chisaki lifted her gun higher. He'd done several things to Bakura. Anpu had done several things back. Really, Anpu had started it.
"Nothing I'd intended to do. My luck's just that bad. Right now... He's probably still stuck in that damn necklace." Adachi didn't really give a damn that Chisaki didn't buy any of that supernatural crap. As far as he was concerned, he was in full control of this situation.
He'd really never noticed how pretty Chisaki was before now. They always were nicer looking when they were scared.

Chisaki looked confused for half a beat by what Adachi had said. Stuck.. in a necklace. Not stuck with one? She scowled and lifted the gun again. Dammit, why was he still walking towards her!? What did he think he could do, she was the one who was armed! The door opened inwards, meaning she'd have to take the time to pull it open.
She'd already waited to long, he could lunge at her if she made that motion. She lifted the gun up and held it with both hands, pointing it at Adachi. She narrowed her eyes again. She could go for a non-critical injury, and take that chance to escape... could she? If he followed her she'd have to deal with civilians.
"Adachi, get your ass back in bed. I will shoot you."

Adachi only gave a louder chuckle as Chisaki threatened him. Maybe it made him insane to not back off when he had a gun pointed at him, but Adachi highly doubted he counted as anything close to sane.
"You actually think you're the one in control here, Chisaki?" Adachi took a couple steps closer. He didn't like using this in situations like this, but Chisaki had a gun pulled on him, so... "Did Seta go into detail about how I killed those gold digging whores back in Inaba?"
Before Chisaki could answer that, a large, yellow eyed being positively dripping with blood manifested right in front of Chisaki. It was close enough to her that she might actually be able to see a couple strands of silver hair hanging down behind the mask. Magatsu Izanagi did nothing but stand there, staring at Chisaki. The way he'd manifested also cut off Chisaki's only escape route. Adachi had made sure to summon his Persona in a way that Chisaki couldn't just pull the door open and run for it.
"Well, it wasn't like this, but it was pretty similar," Adachi said sinisterly.

Chisaki had pulled the trigger out of surprised reflex as something appeared in front of her. The bullet hit Magatsu Izanagi in its stomach region, but it caught in the "fabric" of the Persona's clothes. The most the linked Adachi would feel was a solid thump. The Persona was resistant to physical attacks, after all.
The woman's eyes widened as it hit her that whatever was there wasn't human. She tried to speak, but all that came out was a slight squeaking. The grip on her gun had loosened, and it angled a bit to the side now as a result. The doorknob was right behind her, but the thing that was floating in front of her could easily swing its spear if she tried to run. Her mind was yelling at her to put things back in order. All she was able to manage was some comprehendable words.
"Wha...what the hell..." She swallowed and tried to glare at Adachi. Her attempt at a firm threat failed spectacularly, "S-Souji knows I went to speak to you, Adachi."
She couldn't deny this. She was stubborn, but she had never doubted her own eyes. Somehow or another Adachi had managed to summon... something. A kami or a demon. Shit, if this direction continued she was dead.

Adachi gave a small wince as he felt a bit of pressure up against a preexisting wound from where Chisaki had shot Magatsu Izanagi. That ill-fated trip into the TV World recently had taught Adachi that him and his Persona's senses were linked. If that was the most that bullet had hurt, then Adachi had nothing to fear.
Magatsu Izanagi reached up very quickly and swiped Chisaki's gun from her, pulling it effortlessly from her hand. The Persona tossed the gun to the side, where it slid across the floor and impacted against the wall. Adachi continued to chuckle, and Magatsu Izanagi moved to the side a bit so Adachi could get even closer to Chisaki.
"You think I care about that? Seta already knows I'm not the one stringing up the dead bodies," Adachi was getting rather close to Chisaki now. "He'll suspect things, but everyone will just assume it was someone else."
He paused to examine Chisaki. "You know, you're actually really pretty for a cocky bitch. Might as well have some fun before you go, hm?"

It was probable anyone could have pulled the gun from Chisaki's hands. Her grip wasn't very tight. Magatzu Izanagi? It was perhaps lucky she hadn't had a tight grip on it. The Persona could have likely ripped it out of her hands. She backed up again, her back pressing up against the door that was no longer an option. God damn it she should have left when she had the chance! What bothered her even more was that no one had responded to the gun shot! It hadn't been quiet, so where the hell was everyone!?
She gave Adachi a defiant glare as he stepped closer. Everything she could think of to do was running through her mind. Anything she could think of would result in her immediate death. She sure as hell couldn't just let him kill her, though. Her eyes were flicking about the room, trying to find somethign she could use. Adachi had reacted to the kami getting hit by the gun...
She looked back at Adachi as he gave the last bit. Her eyes widened as the meaning of his words sunk in. He was a murderer, but that hadn't come up in her conversation with Souji. That didn't sync with anything else she was sure he'd done. With the realization of what he was saying, her body reacted to the threat before her mind could object. The reaction was rather sudden.
"Get the hell away from me you bastard!" she screeched, bringing her knee up towards Adachi's groin. It would be rather hard to dodge.
If it could only connect, she'd turn around and yank the door open. To be more precise, she would try. The door wouldn't open, reacting as if it was locked even though it couldn't be so. There was, after all, a reason no one had reacted to the gun shot...

Adachi hadn't been focusing on Chisaki's legs. So when she screeched, he'd had no chance of dodging the quickly lifted knee. He gave a gasp of pain and collapsed to the ground, clutching his groin. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chisaki turn and try to pull the door open. Adachi gave a snarl.
"You damn bitch!" Adachi yelled. At the same moment he yelled, his Persona reacted. Magatsu Izanagi was once again showing an odd degree of autonomy as it suddenly gave a growl and took its spear in both hands before skewering Chisaki through the lower back with it. Adachi's eyes widened as he realized what had happened and slowly pulled himself to his feet.
"Hey! I didn't tell you to kill her!" Adachi yelled. The Persona removed its spear from Chisaki's back as Adachi yelled. Adachi blanched as the Persona looked him in the eye and words formed in his head.
Insolent human. I think you're forgetting that I'm the one in control here. The only reason I didn't kill her before now was because I thought an "experienced" murderer could handle a little mortal human girl.
