With Chisaki now gone after your strange, exhilarating encounter, you tried your best to mentally return to normal and continue your night. As expected, it was difficult as thoughts raced through your head to better understand everything that had just happened. 
You were eventually able to curl up and find sleep despite your fluttering heart and wonders of what the next day would bring.

Chisaki, on the other hand, was in quite the rush to get back to his room and get the oils of sweat and bodily fluids away from his skin before the medication fully wore off. If he didn't, he'd be an itching mess the rest of the night.


"Did everything go as planned last night?" Kurono asked as the two of them strolled down the hallway the next morning, heading to Hiru's chamber to begin their experiments.

"Of course, why wouldn't it?" Chisaki answered him flatly, shoving his hand into his pocket for that large key ring. 

"I wasn't sure if you'd want to go through with something like that, or her for that matter," Kurono explained as the two entered the room, leaving the door slightly cracked as they rushed in.

"She's touch starved," Chisaki said with a hint of hostility, "and human after all. And you should know me better."

"Sorry, sir," Kurono muttered as the pair approached the frightened man still strapped to a metal table.

Hiru had a mask across his face, muzzling his lips so he couldn't speak or resist. It also would muffle his screams when that time came. His body tensed as the two came near, muffled sounds coming from behind the mask as they stared down at him. Chisaki began to remove one of his gloves to start the process. Hiru's eyes widened in fear, unsure of what was to become of him.

"Do you think she'll stay and refuse the treatment if you can get her to fall in love with you?" Kurono asked. "You really don't think you'll need to lock her away again?"

"Chrono!" Chisaki shouted, halting his movements to glare at his assistant. "Now is not the time!"

Kurono was taken aback by Chisaki's sudden rage. For him, he was simply inquiring about the plan to keep you around. He didn't expect his leader to react so harshly to a simple question. It wasn't as if it mattered for Hiru to know information; Hiru was simply a tool to be discarded once his use had been exhausted.

"Right now, this is our priority," Chisaki continued as Kurono's face paled behind his mask. "If I hear anything more about the subject, even her name coming out of your mouth I won't hesitate to break you into pieces." Kurono remained silent after his scolding. It wasn't often he would lose his patience with his assistant, but Kurono quickly knew his place.


You had wished you weren't passing by the room at the perfect time, the conversation loud and clear thanks to the cracked door. You had lingered just enough to hear a majority of the conversation.
You walked quicker to get away once you knew what you needed to know, feeling warm tears pool at the base of your eyes. You weren't always one to get emotional, but this...was too far. You thought you had grown so close to Chisaki over the years, but he clearly thought nothing of it. Your power was too valuable to him and you felt as if you should've known better. Should he have had your first master's power, he would've taken it from you the first second he could.
And it was your first time, not that you cared about the social construct of virginity - but a first time to you was something you considered special...and he took that from you


You found yourself in the communal kitchen, sitting at the large dining table and resting your head on your forearms while contemplating what to do with yourself.
You could leave, but you knew you had no where to go. You had no money to put a roof over your head and much of your public information had been deleted - so that meant no identification to get a job of any sort (and obtaining that information would surely be difficult, especially when homeless). 
You could kill him and take his position, but it was unlikely that the other Hassaikai would follow you and you'd rather not do that with force. It also wouldn't be that beneficial because that, too, would put your living situation at risk - especially with the true boss out of commission. 
Not to mention, if you were honest about eavesdropping Chisaki would be pissed and if you were to receive the drug they were creating to erase your quirk he'd surely kick you out and onto the streets. But...that could give you enough time to get things sorted out - as long as the creation process took a while. You weren't exactly sure what the best move would be, if any.
