Her breathing became soft and even. Her flame that was like a whisp disappeared soon after. I trailed my hand through her (long, short) hair and listened to the old house creak. I had been worried when we first set off on our mission. (F/N) had seemed like she never left the streets. I wondered if she would ever tell me about Haru.

I was angry and frustrated that he had hurt her the way he did. I couldn't help the feelings that came when she talked about him and what he had done. 

My thoughts turned to what she had tried to say earlier when we were waiting on it to become night. I wanted to know what she had tried to say. It had sounded important. 

(F/N) murmured in her sleep and sighed into my hand. She was so strong to get away from this life. It had to be hard living like this. I wish I had the same strength she did. She cared about others before herself and would do anything to see that they didn't get hurt. 

I looked over the closet we were in, It was big enough for us to both stay in comfortably, and was surprisingly clean with dust here and there. I thought back to the older woman who had suggest that I fight for money. Why did we even need to get jobs from these people? Was it to get closer to the people and get information?

(F/N) had been so kind to step in when the woman was suggesting I fight. She had put a stop right then for me. She really did seem to care. 

On the way here (f/N) had said that the white-clad had taken people from the streets to help with their mission and if we wanted to know where they were without making them aware then it was best to go undercover as Captain Honda suggested.

I thought about (F/N) again and her being in Asakusa. I had called and Sister Iris answered. She explained that they were off on a mission and would be back soon. I had felt worried after getting off the phone. I was tempted to leave my station and head to Asakusa. What had stopped me was Hajiki. 

My stomach rumbled and I winced. We had forgotten to eat before we left or maybe we were just in a hurry to get our mission done. I closed my eyes and leaned my head back against the wall. 

I want to get stronger for (F/N)...

I woke up before Takeru again. I felt better but still ached from my wounds. I sat up slowly and nudged Takeru awake. He woke quickly, having slept softly, and was up and ready to go. I heard the rumbling from his stomach. I felt bad for having staved him. 

"Let's go to the convince store right outside this area," I suggested, "I'll get us some soba noodles and maybe they will have strawberry sandwiches."

Takeru nodded and grabbed his bag as i grabbed my own. I moved the dresser out of the way and opened the closet door. Sun beamed in from the broken window and I looked around the room for signs that someone was around during the night. I went to the bedroom door and unlocked it and turned to see if Takeru was following me. 

He bumped into my back as I stopped suddenly, I lost my balance until Takeru's arm wrapped around me quickly, "I-I'm sorry."

"T-Thank you for catching me," I stammered as he slid his arm from around me.
