Haruko stumbles but keeps his footing. He was silent now, and his eyes were filling with determination, even as the demonic half of his face became the color of the other half, and eventually the same shape, too. "How far away... was it..."

"Only about another block." Echo answered. "It shouldn't be much further.." She bit her lip. Hopefully they'd reach it soon, she knew he was in pain, greater than she'd thought originally. "Don't worry, we'll get there." She assured. She wasn't sure who needed more assurance, Haruko or herself. Either way.. Haruko was more important, in this time of need, and she'd do whatever it took.

Haruko smiles a bit, and he seems to regain a bit of strength, but his smile beocomes a grimace. His teeth were flecked with blood. "Heh... I would still be lying in the gutter... I'm so weak..."

"Well, hopefully this cure will work swiftly." Echo said, "Well, I've seen a few people with the infection, and I daresay, you're doing pretty well." She tried to give him a reasuring smile, but she just couldn't do it. "Hey, isn't that the hospital, right there?" She asked, while pointing to a large brown- and white-bricked building.

Haruko looks right at the hospital when it's pointed out, and he takes some of his own weight back on his own feet, and tries to speed up a bit. "I hope it will work... I'm tired of being like I am... Tired of being... infected"

*HE stopped next to the talking couple and looked from either of them sweat beading from his forhead and a few cuts on his face and well his cloths were torn and tattered from hunting the sewers.*
"Are any of you lycans?"

"Well, I'm sure they wouldn't have put it out for the public unless it worked." She felt him take some of his weight off of her, and she speeds up slightly. "At least they don't have stairs." She joked. As they walked into the lobby, she looked at a sign. "Uh, basement is under this floor." She looked around for an elevator, or a sign pointing them to one.

*Growling he moves on. There has to be a damned lycan here somewhere, where is Athren. He ran four blocks away in a blur of speed and stopped on a roof top so he could get a good view on the city and search with a better vantage point.*

Haruko nods slowly, "I'm sure it works... " he looks around, too, "The paper... said... a metal door..." by now he was once again leaning on Echo. To a casual observer it might appear they were simply a couple.

"Okay, metal door. Got it." She found the sign, and took a left down the hallway, and they came to the elevator. She punched the button that said, "*0*" and the doors closed slowly, as they started the descent. After they reached the basement floor, she helped him off the elevator, and looked around for the metal door.

Haruko follows echo, he doesn't speak untill they were off the elevator. Every breath out brought more blood and pain and his breathing was slow and shallow now, to minimise the pain. "I hope... ungh... I hope I don't have to swallow anything... I haven't been able to eat for... days..." he admits.

Echo almost wished that he was lying. "You.. haven't..?" She asked, trying to keep her mind on the door. She couldn't believe that he hadn't eaten for so long. "Well.. the cure is an injection, so I've heard." She said smoothly, "don't worry, no swallowing."

Haruko shakes his head, "I... could drink untill... yesterday... but it started to hurt too much..." he laughs, weakly, but coughs once again. "I... didn't want you... anyone to wory... anyone to care if I... if there was no cure... I always thought... I'd die in a battle... die hundreds of years ago but... no one ever bested me... nearly beaten by an illness... still might... urk" and he spits out some more blood, diluted a little with yellow bile.

*Sighing he disappears from the city in a blur of speed going into a building a couple miles away on the other side of the city.*
((Exit the city))

"I would care if anything happened to you, that was out of my control, Haruko. You, nor anyone else, can do a damned thing about it." she said firmly. Finally, they came to the metal door. "Well, here we go.." She whispered, knocking on the door with her foot, wondering if they could open it for them.
