*Teru's POV*

//Age 22, Present day//

I woke to the sound of my phone alarm going off, meaning it was time to leave the comfort of my bed. "Chuuya...time to wake up..." I groaned groggily as I buried my face in his bare chest, his ginger hair tickling my cheek. "Five more minutes..." I giggled softly and pressed my lips to his. "Alright...now I'm awake." We got up and got dressed in our usual attire before making our way to my bathroom to brush our teeth and fix each other's hair. "I still can't believe how long your hair has gotten..." Chuuya said as he looped my now knee length hair through my scrunchie before planting a kiss on my exposed neck. I smiled and put my choker on followed by my glasses before we made our way out to get some work done.

Papa had sent me on a retrieval mission with Akutagawa and Higuchi to retrieve something called the Weretiger. From what I've gathered the Weretiger is a boy named Atsushi Nakajima who possesses the ability to transform into a white tiger. 'I can see why papa wants him...' I thought as I pulled on Chuuya's old black jacket from when we were still kids. As I made my way through the hallways I couldn't help but remember all the fun times I shared with Chuuya AND Dazai. 'god...I miss him so much.' I thought as I thought of my bandage clad ex-boyfriend. It's been four years since he left but even to this day it still hurt.

Once outside, I popped in my earbuds to distract myself from Dazai as I made my way to where Akutagawa was waiting for me. He was carrying a bag which contained a bomb as we strolled into the police station. "I found this on the ground, someone seems to have dropped it..." He said as he approached the counter. "Thank you...if you'll just fill out this lost and found form..." One of the officers said with a smile. "Wait...I've seen you before..." The other said. The two cops pointed their guns at us only to be slaughtered by Rashoumon. We left the bomb on the counter and casually strolled out, not making it very far before it exploded.

It wasn't long after the bombing that Akutagawa received a phone call from Higuchi letting us know that she had the target. The two of us made our way to the alley to see a boy with orange hair, choking Higuchi from behind. I was about to interrupt but Akutagawa beat me too it using Rashoumon. "The stench of death. it does not discriminate against those that inflict it...and those who seek it." He said after coughing a couple times. "It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I am Akutagawa and like these women here I am one of the Mafia's black dogs." He coughed once more before Higuchi stood up "Mr. Akutagawa I can handle this!" She said only to end up getting slapped across the cheek by him. "My orders were to take the Weretiger alive and yet here you are gunning everyone down!" He yelled.

"Take the weretiger alive? So you're after me?" The tiger boy asked nervously. "But, of course...The objective of this mission has always been you, weretiger. Your friends got caught in the crossfire...an unfortunate consequence." Akutagawa said grimly as I approached. "We really don't want to hurt you..." I said softly before Akutagawa could say something cruel. "Special Ability: Rashoumon!" He said and attacked the ground beside the weretiger. "Naturally, I missed on purpose that time but my Rashoumon has grown very hungry. I intend to take you in alive but if you continue to resist I will have no choice but to have it consume your leg next time." I couldn't help the sigh that escaped my lips. "Then let's grab him and get the hell out of here before anyone else from the ADA shows up..." I said. "A-Atsushi run...run away...you've got too..." The ginger boy said, gritting his teeth in pain.

The weretiger then began charging at Akutagawa and even managed to dodge Rashoumon. He scooped up one of Higuchi's guns and began firing into Akutagawa's back only for Rashoumon to prevent any harm from coming to him. He then went in an explanation of his ability before devouring the tiger's leg causing the poor boy to scream in agony. I was about to use my ability to take his pain away but he leaped into the air, latching onto the wall. His ability activated on it's own. "His right leg just regenerated!" 'No shit, Higuchi...' I thought to myself. Akutagawa shoved Higuchi and I out of the way as the now white tiger lunged at us. "MR. AKUTAGAWA!!" Higuchi's voice was the last thing I heard before my head collided with the ground, rendering me unconscious.

=======================

When I finally came to, everything was so blurry I couldn't make out where I was. I tried to lift my right arm so I could cover my eyes to make my head stop pounding only to find that I was cuffed to an infirmary bed. "Finally awake, I see." An all to familiar voice chimed. I looked to my left and could make out the basic shape of a person but none of their features. "I need my glasses..." I croaked before going into a coughing fit. The figure lifted a cup to my lips and I gulped it down without hesitating. Next thing I know the world is coming into perfect focus as my glasses are placed on my face. I turn and lock eyes with..."Dazai..." I said breathlessly, tears already forming in my maroon colored eyes. "It's been a while...Teru." I wanted to throw myself into his arm and never let go again but I refrained from doing so and instead just forced myself to glare at him.

"Is that really how you're going to greet me after all these years?" He asked "YOU LEFT ME!!! You left me and you expect me NOT to be angry with you?!" I shouted angrily and gripped the blanket covering my body. My shouting must have garnered some curiosity from Dazai's co-workers as the door slid open enough for three heads to peek through.

*Atsushi's POV*

I had been doing some light work around the office while Naomi and Junichiro sat next to each other on the couch to rest a bit. I had just set a box of paperwork down when the sound of shouting caught our attention. Naomi was the first one at the infirmary door. She slid it open just enough for us to peek in to see what was going on. The woman from the alley was gripping the blanket as if it were her life line and I could tell she was crying from the way she was shaking. "You think they know each other?" Naomi asked softly "From the way she's talking they have to..." Junichiro responded. "Do you realize how heart broken I was when you left? I locked myself away in my room for days...it would have been longer had Chuuya not dragged me out..." The woman said and bit her lip so hard that blood began trickling down her chin. "What did I do wrong...was I not good enough anymore..." I could practically feel her despair as she attempted to curl into the fetal position.

"Wow...I feel bad for her...she's hurting so much." Naomi sighed "I understand but don't forget she's Port Mafia...we can't let our guard down around her." "I don't know Junichiro...I'm not sensing any bloodlust from her. Not to mention she wasn't being aggressive earlier..." I said softly. "You might as well come in...I know you're there..." The woman said and wiped her eyes before looking up at us.

*Teru's POV*

The door slid open revealing the weretiger and the other two from the alleyway. "I thought you two were severely injured...how are you fine?" "We have our medic to thank for that...she's really good at healing but man is she scary." The ginger shuddered. I nodded lightly before getting annoyed with the damn cuffs connecting me to the bed so I pulled a bobby pin from my hair and picked the lock which caused the three to get defensive.

"Chill...Not everyone from the Mafia is a psycho murderer...I have no desire to hurt anyone."
