"Captain I-" I start to say when I run into meliodas

"You're leaving to get (y/n)" captain cuts me off

"Yeah, I want to make sure she's ok" I explain

"As long as your not gone for to long the tavern will lose a lot of customers if I'm the one cooking" he replies

"I'll try not to take to long but it's not really up to me" I tell him

"Tell (y/n) we all miss her" captain says as I start walking out of liones

'(Y/n) I know you're hurt, but please let me help you start to be ok' I think but then I hear a twig snap startling me enough to get me to reach for a weapon

"Wait!" I hear before seeing the barber boy

"Jerry curl?" I raise an eyebrow

"Its jericho!" They correct me

"Ok whatever" I say walking away

"Wait! You're not even going to ask why I was following you" she complains running to keep up with my big steps

"You were following me?" I ask

"I-uh was trying to find you" she blushes and I just hum in reply making her get frustrated
"I need to do something to repay you for savings my life!" They say

"No thanks" I tell her

"You can't just say no!" She whines
"I'll help you with whatever you're doing now" they tell me
"Where are you going anyway?" She asks looking around

"To get someone" I answer

"Who?" They ask

"(Y/n)" I reply

"Who's (y/n)?" She raises an eyebrow

"One of the eight deadly sins" I say

"Eight?" She gets more confused

"Yeah" I say

"Isn't there only seven?" She asks

"No" I roll my eyes

"What's there sin?" They ask

"I don't feel like answering a million questions" I say

"Ok... sorry" she apologized then walks by me silently until she starts complaining about being tired then about an hour later I give in

"Fine we'll camp here for the night" I tell her after seeing how dark it was getting

"Camp but neither of us have a tent or even a sleeping bag" she says

"So?" I reply

"S-so I'll have to stay close to you to stay warm" she blushes

"I'll build a fire, you'll be fine" I tell them, starting to look for some dry wood

(Y/n) pov

"Ok meg I'm sure we could find something to eat somewhere around here" I say to the girl I used to play soccer with after teleporting us to a town where I'd know no one

"Its the middle of the night and this place doesn't seem like there would be anywhere to eat even during the day" she tells me after looking around at this poor town

"Maybe not" I sigh then I hear some strange noises coming from an alley
"I'm going to see what's going on" I tell Meg and she follows me as I run into the alley to see a few men beating up someone. I quickly knock out the attackers and save the man
"Are you alright?" I ask right before he faints and I hurry and catch him to let him down softly

"What are you doing?" Meg asks as I check my pockets

"Damn, I left them all at home" I cursed not finding any healing spell beads on me so I put a hand on the fallen man and meg teleporting us to my house and lifting the man up to set him on my bed making his hood fall off
"Oh he's a Beastman?" I say as meg freaks out

"Are you crazy you can't just bring some strange fox man into your house!" She yells as I activate the spell bead healing him

"Relax, dont make judgments on appearances, Even If he does end up being a threat I'll be able to teleport us out of here" I tell her right before she disappeared then I reflexively grab Endarah but before I could do anything the man stopped me

"What the hell just happened? Where am I? Where did your friend go?!" The man ask frightened

"Sorry I didn't mean to freak you out, I teleported us here so I could get a spell bead to heal you. I can take you back now if you want" I explain

"Where did your friend go?" He repeats on of his questions

"Oh uh, she... she was actually dead, only visiting for a few hours" I instantly regret telling the truth

"What?! That's not possible" The man freaked out

"Well I have the ability to temporarily revive someone because of this one of a kind weapon only I can use" I explain

"So you can revive anyone?" He asks

"Yes, as long as they want to see you" I tell him

"I know you have know reason to, I'm some strange man you just met and you've already done so much for me, but could you revive my son's? I just want the chance to apologize" he tears up

"I'd love to help" I tell him

"Really?" He asked surprised

"Yeah, I just have to wait until this name turns into a scar" I tell him

"How long would that take?" He asked

"I can take as long as a week, but its normally around five hours." I explain
"Do you have anywhere you need to be? I can take you there then get you once I can revive one of them" I say

"No, I don't have a place I'm needed or wanted" he replies

"How about I make you some dinner then you could maybe tell me about your sons while we wait" I say

"Why are you doing so much for me?" He asks

"Helping someone, helps me feel a little better about being alive" I tell him

"Your kindness is greatly appreciated" he says making me smile slightly
"Could I know the name of my savior?" He asks

"Oh... My name is (y/n), what's yours?" I reply

"It's zhivago" he answers
