(That last chapter is giving me a headache and ruining the smooth story telling. I was going for so i might edit it heavily to match upcoming chapters I'll try to fix my writing style for this one to make it comprehensible. thx for reading <3 )






I woke up in a bed for the first time in three months.

My head was pounding almost as fast as my heart.
What the hell?

Blinding light lit up the room. The breezing of fabric fell on almost deaf ears.
I rolled over onto my stomach. I felt a pang in my abdomen.

Right! I totally stabbed myself.

What a fun idea that was.
I wanted to feel it but I decided against it.
The last place I remember being was the prison. Then it all goes black.

Not memory loss too.

What am I doing? Not just right now but with my life.

I bet most people have this conversation when their younger but I still genuinely want to ask.

What do I want to do with my life?

Younger me would've probably answered differently than I would now.

Younger me would've wanted to go adventuring with my dad and see the world. And I still want to do that now but it's all so complicated.

With dad gone I don't think I'll be able to adventure with him and now that I'm kind of a fugitive because of all the stuff I did with Itto I'm not really looking forward to much.

Then something hit me.
My credentials. Sara has them. Doesn't she? I mean she has my bag. Why wouldn't she?

It seems like I'm in one of the tents on the grounds. I see and smell herbs around me so I'm assuming I'm in a medical tent.

Obviously.

I drag myself to my feet. I go to peak outside the tent but was stopped suddenly when someone met me at the opening.

I recognized her right away.

Kujou Sara.

I gasped and stumbled backwards. She grabbed me by my sash.
My arms flailing in the air as I tried to stop myself from falling.

"Y/n L/n?"

I nodded my head panicked.

She let go of my sash and held my hand as she guided me out of the tent. I stumbled a little on the way.

"Where are we going?"
I asked. She was leading me towards Inazuma city. It wasn't that far but we still had to island hop.

"I am talking you to get cleaned up. We cannot have you looking like this in-front of the shogun."

I looked down.

My neck hurt from the gash on my throat from the fight with Childe. But it was a pretty shallow cut. It wouldn't scar.

I was wearing my normal Kimono that was now covered in dirt, soot and blood.

I looked at her. Her face was twisted in something relating to anger.

"What about Itto?"

"Ugh- He, got away once again."

And Childe? I didn't need to ask to know that he has evaded her as well.
I felt her hand squeeze around mine as she answered.

She was leading me towards her tent. I'm assuming she had some spare clothes for me.

The L/n clan is a member of the three commissions associated with the Shogun, Maybe not directly but we talk.
