That's what we had in store. You can't fix That. (Story 48)

Chuya entered Mori's office, the sun rays were echoing through his large window wall. "Boss, you wanted to see me. Do you have my next assignment?" Chuya lowered his hat, and Mori looked at Chuya with a twisted smirk. "Indeed. It's happening tonight." "Boss, you just got back from that meeting with the Detective Agency, right?" "Yes." "I'm not gonna be working with them am I?" Chuya asked raising an eyebrow. Mori ignored his question, "You will need to recover Kyūsaku tonight. We know his whereabouts." Mori handed Chuya a folded piece of paper, Chuya took it from Mori's hands reading it.

 He recognized the handwriting, Mori didn't write this, Dazai did. Chuya clenched the paper in anger, "I'm working alone correct sir?" "Correct. We have a temporary truce with the Detective Agency until the Guild is defeated. We are not allowed to harm them in any way or shape." Chuya looked at his boss confused, "I don't get why you're telling me this boss but I understand. I won't let you down." "I know I can count on you." Mori's smirk spread across his face, he looked like the devil in a human form.

 The sun started setting in Yokohama, the moon rose in the sky followed by the stars. Chuya was heading towards the location where Kyūsaku Yumeno was being kept. "Firgues it'd be a trap." Chuya's attention was caught off guard, he spotted more than a dozen men in black with guns. "Shit! This is a trap. Goddamn Guild fuckers." Chuya used his ability and sent a boulder flying at the men wiping out at least thirty of them.

The men that were still standing fired their guns at Chuya, he used his ability to send the men straight into the hard rock grounds, killing them. Chuya scoffed stomping his shoe down on the ground. He had no bullet wounds at all, he was perfectly fine. "Let me set one thing straight." Chuya pointed behind him, "Once I'm done taking out the trash, your next buddy." His blue eyes sent a glaring threat to Dazai's brunette eyes. "Give me a break will ya? I knew there was a reason today was gonna suuck." Dazai groaned, "The hell!?" The blond Guild member shouted, John. Chuya took out the armed men killing them all, and Dazai eliminated John's ability. Once the damage was done, their next task was getting Kyūsaku Yumeno and getting the hell out of there.

Dazai used Chuya's knife to cut the branches down, he rescued Kyūsaku Yumeno. Chuya carried the boy on his back out of the abandoned house as Dazai held onto the cursed doll that belonged to Kyūsaku. They got interrupted by Lovecraft regaining consciousness, together they fought the monster. Chuya used corruption and Dazai used an explosion to defeat him. Once Lovecraft was defeated and dead, Chuya was still in his corrupt state, he was creating gravitation balls and sent them flying in random areas, "Haha!-" Dazai grabbed Chuya's arm, "You've annihilated the enemy. Time to take a break." Dazai activated his skill, and Chuya's corruption state vanished.

He collapsed to his knees coughing out blood, Dazai knelt down beside him with a grin on his face. "I told you to stop me when I killed the bastard." He coughed more blood onto the ground, "I used corruption because I trusted you." "I know, but it was so entertaining to watch you in action Chuya." Dazai teased with a smirk on his face. It was silent between them for a few moments, they haven't fought together since they were both in the Port Mafia working together.

Dazai broke the silence, "Chuya-" "My ass. You're gone for four fucking years Dazai, do you know how lonely and miserable I've been!?" Chuya shouted, blood dripping off his chin and onto the ground, Chuya looked at him with tears forming in his blue eyes, fresh bloody wounds from his corrupt state, and the enemy's attacks. "Four whole years. And then we go on a mission together and you wanna come back and you wanna drop all this shit on me!?" Dazai was speechless, he looked at Chuya, Chuya was full of anger and sadness mixed together. Those emotions cant be fixed. Chuya was out of breath from yelling, "No. I swear I thought I was protecting you.-" "Protecting me from what!?" He cut Dazai off. Silence filled the air, so silent you could hear Chuya's blood droplets splatter on the ground.

"The truth?" Chuya spoke up, he knew Dazai knew what he was talking about. "No." Dazai spoke up, "No Chuya." Chuya looked at Dazai, then at the sky. "Dazai." "Please Chuya." "I need you to leave me the fuck alone. Finish the mission and get the fuck out of here." A single tear fell from Dazai's now dull brunette eye, "I'm so sorry." "Dazai." "Please Chuya, I'm so sorry-" "Get the fuck out of here!" Chuya snapped, his voice raucous birds flew out of their nests. Dazai got up and picked up Kyūsaku leaving Chuya alone, Chuya watched Dazai's figure disappear into the woods, his exhaustion from his emotions, and corruption finally hit him causing him to pass out on the cold ground.

"I'm so sorry Chuu," Dazai muttered looking over his shoulder and seeing him lying there. His heart was telling him he couldn't leave Chuya there, but he was so angry with Dazai he could kill him. Dazai went back to the abandoned house grabbing Chuya's belongings like his hat, coat, and gloves and he brought them over to Chuya. Chuya was out cold on the rock-hard ground, Dazai folded Chuya's coat resting it next to his body, and he placed his hat and gloves on top of the coat neatly. "I'm so sorry." Dazai knelt down and gently moved Chuya's ginger hair out of his face. "I can't fix what I did to you back then. And what we were before." With that, he picked Kyūsaku back up and left the woods and his former Port Mafia partner behind.
