"Rin?! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU!"
Y/N Shouted out of rage and sadness.

"Big brother...Or should i say, This body's big brother. I remember how the original owner of this body was desperate to meet you again. But I think you're wondering how this girl truly turned into a herrscher?"

RIN, no, The herrscher of corruption persona spoke in Rin's body.

"No...Is Rin...gone?" Y/N was on his knees.

"Don't worry, She's fine for now. Now listen to me.
My host turned into a complete herrscher after some soldiers shooted her for no reason, and celebrated about it. She bore a deep seed of hatred afterwards, Which 'Germinated' And due to which, I exist now."

The herrscher of corruption spoke, Sighing a bit over the stupidity of humanity.

"THEN, IS RIN ALIVE?!" Y/N's eyes shot up.

"She is alive...But she doesnt want to come out. She is deeply saddened and enraged, and wants me to end everything. Oh and the soldiers from earlier that shooted rin, I corrupted them and killed them."

The HoC (Herrscher of Corruption) persona said with a smile. She was surprisingly friendly for a herrscher.

"Are you friendly towards humanity?"
Y/N couldn't suppress his urge to ask, and blurted it out in the end.

"I am friendly towards humanity so long as you exist, My Dear Big Brother."
Rin's persona came out.
She was immensely happy at the sight of Y/N.
"Rin! YOU'RE ALIVE!!"

Y/N Hugged Rin, Who still had the aura of corruption around her, but due to Y/N's Immense resistance to honkai energy, He is unaffected.

"Y/N! ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" Kevin, Su, Kalpas and Sakura arrived.

"I'm alright you three! Wait, SAKURA?! Long time no se-"

Before Y/N could finish, Sakura's sword reached for Rin's Neck.

"HEY SAKURA! SHE'S YOUR OWN SISTER! DON'T!"

Y/N started shouting.
But sakura was immensely saddened at the thought of a herrscher persona taking over her beloved little sister's body and mind, thus wanting to end her little sister's 'suffering'.

"KEVIN! GORDON! PLEASE RESTRAIN HER!  THE GIRL INFRONT OF YOU IS THE REAL RIN! NOT THE HERRSCHER OF CORRUPTION!"

At Y/N's words, All four flamechasers were shook.

This was a first.

A herrscher, that was possible to be reasoned with.

A herrscher with no hatred towards humanity as a whole.

"Rin...Are you still there?!" Sakura pleaded. She almost teared up at the thought of having to kill her own sister.

She immediately tried to hug her only to be interrupted by Y/N.

"Sakura, Sorry to interrupt you, But look around rin, The aura of corruption might get to you." Y/N said.

Sakura hadn't looked at his face nor paid attention to what he was saying.
But after paying attention to how he actually sounds like, and looking at his face directly, she instantly let go of her restraints of emotions, and straight up cried.

"Is it...hic...Is it really you...? Y/N!" Sakura had finally, let go of her tears.

Rin, Kevin, Kalpas and Su Sighed. And just watched on as sakura bawled her eyes out on Y/N's shoulder.

"Yes yes, It's me sakura. I'm here. I'm not dead, Nor are you. Both of us are alive and well. I'm glad you survived that place-OOF-"

Y/N was grabbed by the collar and Sakura brought him close to her face.

"Do not pull anything like that ever again. Or i will trap you in a place where no one will ever see you other than me, and you'll be safe forever in there."
Sakura said in a cold, shrill voice, which brought shivers down Y/N's spine.

"No-Noted... Seems like you still have capabilities to send shivers down my spine...As expected of 'Big sister Sakura'"
Y/N said while laughing a bit.

Sakura then said again, in a cold shrill voice.
"Do not change the subject so early. I mean it. Do not. And i mean. DO NOT. EVER. TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT. EVER AGAIN." Sakura brought him even closer to her face.

Y/N was halfway filled with fear.

"OKAY OKAY ALRIGHT! I PROMISE NOT TO DO ANYTHING RASH!" Y/N said out of panic a bit.

"Good." Sakura pulled the most bold move yet.
She kissed Y/N on the cheek.

Y/N fell flat then and there.

Rin, Kalpas, Kevin and Su had the same reaction.

"Oh my!" Rin said.

"Elysia, Eden and Aponia could never!" Kevin, Su and Kalpas said in unison and then laughed about it hard.

"Well, What should we do about rin?"
Kevin asked sakura.

"Let's take her to MEI. She'll find out something." Sakura said, As she slowly lifted up the fainted Y/N and put him on her shoulder.

            >>>At War Room 55<<<

"Mei!"
The four entered the room.
Mei saw Y/N  on sakura's shoulder, but didn't question it.
She already knew what events transpired through her intuition.

So the four explain what events actually transpired, purposefully hiding the fact that sakura kissed Y/N on the cheek.

"A herrscher on the side of humanity... That's new. And can you switch personas anytime, rin?"

MEI asked rin.

"Yes,  I can switch personas any time. The 'other me' and me co-exist in this one body, and communicate whenever we're bored. Even though she was created an hour ago, She already knows me so well."

RIN answered MEI.

"Rin, can you ask the other you, if she wants to be on the side of humanity?"

Mei felt the need to take a gamble.

"One sec. Uh, she said, 'As long as Y/N is alive, I'm on humanity's side.' So i guess, She does want to be on the side of humanity."

Rin said, bringing relief to Mei.

"That's great. Rin, Since you are now in control of herrscher powers, I will give you and sakura the same room to live in so that you both can catch up after probably years of desperation and separation." MEI said to Rin.

"Thank you, mei." Sakura and rin bowed in respect.

"You're welcome, Rin, Sakura."

Afterwards, The four leave the war room, and discuss their own for a while, then go to Y/N's room.

They just lay Y/N down on the couch, and leave.

A few minutes later, Y/N wakes up.

"Ah yes, A good morning, what a good day-" As Y/N was saying that, he remembered the events that transpired between sakura and him, and he just
Fell flat
Again.

This time, a few hours later.

"Mmmmm...I don't want to wake up...WAIT SHIT I HAVE TO WAKE UP I HAVE A JOB"

"Dont stand, Just lay down, Y/N. You must be tired." Sakura said to Y/N. Next to sakura was Rin.

"Rin! You can control the HoC powers!" Y/N said out of joy.

"Yes I can big bro! Now I'll be able to protect you if harm ever comes to shove!" Rin also said gleefully.

"Not if I end the threat first." Sakura said firmly.

Rin and sakura looked at each other.
It seemed like they were fighting with lightning.

Y/N just thought of it as them bonding and went to sleep.

Chapter 9: END.
