This Feeling (Takeru 'Juggernaut' Noto X Reader)

Chapter Nine

The time had come for us in the Eighth to go to Central. I dressed into my official fatigues. As I placed my last button I glanced in the mirror in my room. I fixed my sleeves and nodded to myself before turning away from the reflection. I made my way out the door and down the hall to the office where Obi, Shinra, Hinawa, and Tamaki stood waiting for me. 

We all headed out saying a brief goodbye to Maki and Sister Iris. I followed behind Obi while holding my hat. I looked back at company eight's church. I sighed and waited for Shinra and Tamaki to get in the back before I entered. We all settled into silence as we made our way to Central.

Shinra leaned against the door and asked after a while, "Is it normal to summon all the Captains?"

"This is the first time I encountered anything like this since I became the commander of the Eighth," Obi Admitted while looking ahead, "You can tell that they are taking this situation seriously."

"Artificial Infernals, the white-clad, and the bugs," I shivered and peered out the window, "I feel like we are getting closer to the truth."

"I agree," Obi sighed and tipped his hat further on his head. 

I watched buildings pass by the window of the car. The others made small talk as we got closer and closer to Amaterasu. I felt my scar start to tingle and itch. I ignored the feeling, having bigger things to deal with at the moment.

Tamaki, Shinra, And Obi got out of the car as we pulled up to the sidewalk that would lead into Holy Sol Temple where the meeting would take place in the main cathedral. I had made an excuse like nerves would getting to me and that I would need a minute. The others had agreed to let me stay with Hinawa as he found a parking place. 

It took a moment but Hinawa found a place. He pulled the car in and turned it off. His gaze peered at me in the rearview mirror. 

"Talk," Hinawa commanded.

"I-Its nothing," I nervously laugh and opened the door to the car before pausing to say, "It's my scar from the bug. It started acting up a little while ago."

He nodded and suggested, "Maybe it because of your nerves."

"I hope so," I murmured as I got out and put on my Military hat. 

I met up with Obi, Shinra, Tamaki, and a new person I had yet to meet yet. The woman was beautiful in her own right as she spoke with the others. Her gaze turned to me before turning away to suggest that we should get to the meeting. 

We all walked together to the Holy Sol Temple cathedral. I walked more slowly than the others. I looked over the building and the intricate work woven into the pillars and walls. As I entered I took off my hat and tucked it underneath my arm. My gaze fluttered over Karim. 

"Thanks for the help you giving in the past few days, in the past," He thanked Shinra, who thanked him in return, and then turned his gaze to me, "I'm sorry I haven't got to contact you since..."

"It's no problem," I smiled warmly and waved a hand, "I hope you are doing well."

He nodded and admitted, "I've had a lot of paperwork."

I chuckled as Obi opened the main door and entered. I looked around the cathedral. All the Captains had made it. Karim walked over to Captain Burns and took a seat in the pew behind him. I followed after Obi and ducked my head. 

"Captain of the seventh who doesn't show up that often is even here," Obi commented as he slid into a pew.

"He's famous for being the strongest fire soldier..." Shinra added.
