𝙈𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 [Dr. Stone]

||Time Bomb||

It was around 2pm, when Tsukasa called out for you. You were still terrified after the scene from yesterday, so deciding to act as if nothing happened, you went with an innocent smile to Tsukasa.

Arriving there he greeted you, with a kind smile and told you the reason he called you. "[Y/n], as you know, we have here two friends of Senku, the guy I told you before. Everyone thinks that he's dead and I do too. But I also have a suspicion, that he's still alive."

You gulped your saliva down, waiting for the high schooler to continue. He sighed, as he kept his speech on: "I want you to befriend with them both. Their names are Yuzuriha and Taiju, you already know Yuzuriha. Taiju is the one with the most greatest stamina. Use your talents and collect information for me."

You obeyed his order and bowed down teasingly, still feeling scared. "Yes, mighty, bossy emperor." you said with a smirk, as Tsukasa spilled his saliva out after hearing these words. "Don't call me that!" he ordered with his face showing clearly embarrassment.

You chuckled and leaved his cave, walking towards where you met Yuzuriha for the first time. Sadly enough, she wasn't there. You were confused at the thought where she might be. Walking towards Nikki you asked her, if she saw Taiju and Yuzuriha.

"What do you want from them?" she asked harshly. You gave her a sheepish smile, replying to her question: "Nikki, I have to find Yuzuriha, because I want her to sew me some warmer socks and as I heard it from Ukyo, she is mostly around Taiju."

Speaking of the devil. Ukyo arrived right behind your back, as he heard you talk about him. "Are you looking for someone, [Y/n]?" he slightly patted your shoulder making you flinch. The tall male looked down at you, smiling a warm smile.

You were 149,5 centimeters and he was around 1 meter and 70 centimeters, or so you guessed. Of course turning into the scaredy cat, because of the sudden jump scares from the male and Tsukasa you got, you yelped in fear, but soon relaxed as you saw Ukyo.

As you turned back to Nikki, she was far away, leaving you and Ukyo alone. Cringing from the somehow cute side of her, you let out a small 'uh', as to show your misunderstanding. Ukyo stood still next to you, watching to the direction she ran away.

"So, you were searching for someone?" he asked, waking you from your trance up. Meanwhile, you turned your head up, to meet his gaze and nodded, asking: "I've been searching for Yuzuriha and Taiju, have you seen them?"

Ukyo turned slowly his head from right to left, looking for the both teenagers. Gazing back at you, he finally replied: "Actually I saw Yuzuriha and Taiju in the morning next to a grave. I could show you where it is."

You smiled and gathered yourself up, walking with Ukyo to the grave, humming your favourite song. You asked the male, who listened to your humm: "Ukyo-kun, who does this grave belongs to?" You couldn't tell the man that you know, who this grave belongs to. Afterall you were on Tsukasa's mission and deciding to keep it secret, you couldn't let anyone know.

The male let out a heavy sigh and begun to speak, keeping his gaze straight on the way.

"This grave belongs to their friend." He didn't wanted to tell you that this friend was killed by Tsukasa, because you and the highschooler are friends. You gave the white haired a quick glance, while asking: "How did they died?"

Having some suspicion, that the friend's death has something to do with Tsukasa, you stopped in the middle of the way, facing Ukyo's back. Meanwhile, he kept quiet. The male couldn't tell you the real reason, because he didn't wanted to ruin the friendship between you and Tsukasa, but he also couldn't lie to you.

Replying with a quiet: "I can't tell you", he started to walk towards the grave. You narrowed your gaze and followed behind. 'So my conjecture was right. It has something to do with Tsukasa.' Sighing, you quickened your pace to keep up with Ukyo.
