I Am The Red Ranger (JAYDEN SHIBA FANFICTION)

Chapter Thirty-Five (Pt.2 of 34)

Potential subject to change*

I smirk. "Would you mind sharing a bit about your lover?"

Takeru laughs again and nudges my shoulder. "His name is Osamu Kanari. Shinken White...We've been best friends since we were five and we've been dating for about four months now."

Realization hits me. "And Osamu is your lost retainer..."

"He is." Takeru says, shrugging. "It really hurts not knowing where he is."

"I completely understand." I say. "It was just a few days ago Jayden and I were pulled apart. He was captured. I was lucky I was able to find him before anything awful happened to him."

"And how did you get through it?" Takeru asks while looking at me. "Being away from your lover?"

"I never gave up on finding him." I say. "I couldn't. Just like you won't give up on finding Osamu."

"You're right." The Red Shinkenger tells me with a nod after a short moment. "It's been hard but I'm not going to stop until I've found him. Besides, if I lost Osamu then Chiaki and Ryûnosuke would most probably kick my ass, lord or not."

I laugh. "Two of your Shinkengers?"

"Blue and Green."

I smile. "They just want the best. As do I and my team."

"Thank you, Chloe." Takeru thanks for the third time. "Thank you so much."

"Of course, Takeru." I tell him. "We will not stop until he is found."

Chloe's Point of View

We arrive at the docks and immediately, we run towards a figure who is thrown into a lobster crate.

"Ow..." The figure groans, clutching his stomach in pain.

The male wears a white Ranger/Shinkenger suit. It is different, a good different, because I have never seen a white Ranger before.

I know for a fact Takeru has because he quickly picks him up when we both get to his side.

"Osamu!" Shinken Red yells, going over to his retainer and picking him up in his arms.

"Oh my goodness!" I yell, giving him a look over to see if he is hurt. Sure enough he is, badly. "Are you okay!?"

"Yeah...yeah I'm fine." Osamu tells Takeru and I.

"Are you sure?" I ask. "You were just flown into a lobster crate."

"I've been thrown in to worse, trust me." The White Shinkenger tells me with a weak laugh.

Takeru is holding Osamu very close to him, in his head for a moment. He was worried as hell! It affected him greatly while being away from Osamu because, a, they are lovers, and b, Osamu is his protector.

I can't help a smile under my helmet at the scene. Osamu lays peacefully in Takeru's arms, obviously in pain, but content in the moment and happy with his lover.

"Regardless." I tell Osamu kindly. "You are seriously hurt. We need to get you to the Shiba House to get you patched up."

"Right..." The White Shinken says confused, looking me up and down.

I can't help a laugh. "Introductions may be necessary, yes. I am Chloe Shiba, the Red Samurai Ranger."

Osamu looks at Takeru. "Rangers? Does she mean Shinkengers?"
