Reminiscent Butterfly - Totsuka Tatara X Female Reader

Chapter 7: Basashi Panic 2

The wind roared as the car tore through its defence quickly. The landscape outside of the window blurred into lines as Kusanagi sped down the road to catch up to HOMRA’s princess. Next to him sat Tatara who was on the phone with Bando who asked whether they had eyes on the young girl. “YES!” he shouted over the violent wind that kept ripping at the males. He stated that the animal and female were in front of them. (Y/N) sat in the middle seat at the back staring through the window. She lifted her finger and pointed towards the end of the road. Kusanagi squinted his eyes and noticed a barrier and tape, preventing entrance. “It’s the Blues,” (Y/N) stated as she leaned close to get a look, “Yeah, for sure it’s them like we thought.”
Nevertheless he carried on driving to the end. The car stopped as the three clansmen set there in silence. Loud sounds and screams could be heard from the phone call which signified their failure. The bartender noted how the matter became much more serious. (Y/N) agreed as knowing the Blues, they aren’t as stupid as many HOMRA members would think. Eye contact was made between the three of them before they nodded and left the car walking straight up to Scepter 4. Kusanagi began conversing with them as Tatara and (Y/N) walked slower, glancing around. “What’s the fuss?” a strong voice spoke out. Everyone turned to face the person. It was Awashima Seri, the right hand woman of the Blue King. The two right hand clansmen came up with an agreement.

The car was faster than Kusanagi’s. They quickly found the two strains as the car dashed down the empty road. The driver drove next to Basashi and allowed the bar owner to roll down the window. Anna looked shocked considering that they were in the Blue's car. He held out his hand and told her to come over to which she refused. She explained how the strain had a place it wanted to go and someone to meet with. She apologised as the horse flew down the road to another underneath. Dejected, Kusanagi sat there with his head hung in shame as the car stopped abruptly. (Y/N) leaned onto the seat and wondered whether she'd be okay. It wasn’t usual for her to behave like this, the determination in her eyes flared when speaking to the man. “Perhaps she would be fine…” the (E/C) eyed female whispered. Tatara faced her and agreed. Awashima was disappointed in us. No, in Kusanagi. However, Tatara gently explained to him to let her go. The reason being was that she was never selfish nor said greedy things but she insisted. That alone was a true reason. He looked at the white shirted male and the female next to him but did not utter a sound. After all, Awashima revealed that Basashi was a ‘good horse’.

(Y/N) stated, “Let’s go. Suoh probably intercepted them and met up with the rest.” 

Indeed she was correct as after they had arrived at the destination, they saw Suoh, Anna and Basashi as the King sent the rest back to the bar as one was injured. (Y/N) looked around at the bright decorations. There was a small crowd of people cheering and clapping. The group of 4 walked over to their targets as Awashima stated that she would take Basashi into custody as part of the authority of Scepter 4. She was understanding and kind towards it. She even asked it for it’s name… but it was Basashi. As soon as she heard that she looked disgusted by the fact that HOMRA called the strain by that name. Alternatively, she changed the name into ‘White Bean Paste Stewed Tofu’. The strain opened it’s white wings and let out noises of approval with blushes on its face. Kusanagi looked slightly surprised by another food name. They all watched what was happening within the waves of people. It was a wedding. Doves flew by elegantly as confetti was sprinkled down. Tatara gently smiled watching as he held (Y/N)’s delicate hand. 

~Back at the bar~

Meanwhile, the remaining members of the red clan came back to the base. (Y/N) immediately noticed the strange occurrence unfolding before her. Bando’s whole face was getting bandaged by Akagi with Yata and Kamamoto staring. According to the young male with the beanie, he was kicked in the face by Basashi. “Shouldn’t he go to the hospital?” she muttered with Kamamoto responding that there was no need because Bando is strong. “That’s harsh,” she thought to herself, “the horse has hooves. Hooves.” 
She sat next to Tatara with a sigh then looked over to the young girl on the other side of Tatara. He told her not to make a miserable face as she pouted. The male filmed her by putting the camera lens close to her face whilst chuckling happily. She told him not to film, but of course, he did not listen. She gently slapped him and took the camera away. Anna shined the device at him, filming his shy movements of trying to cover the camera with total failure. The male in the white shirt began to apologise to her. (Y/N) smiled watching them play around like kids and wished that everything could stay this way.

~The Present Time~

The video stopped on Tatara’s smiling face, trying to cover the camera. It was beautiful, so innocent. (Y/N) looked at him. It felt bittersweet. As kind hearted as he was, it was what ended things. It was what caused everything to shift. “... I found Tatara!” Anna voiced loudly overjoyed. Kusanagi looked over at the two females. He pet the young female on the head and whispered, “What is done is done. He would want us, including you to move on.” 
(Y/N) heard his statement and gave a slight nod. The bartender flashed a grin at the (H/C) haired woman. 

“No one will forget him. He had made us all happy, gave us hope. Therefore we do not want to forget because he is really important to us.”
