Sanemi rushed to Giyuu in hurry, who was sitting on a tree log in a distance.

Giyuu was staring at his own feet. On hearing Sanemi's fast footsteps approaching, his gaze slowly shifted to the taller male.

"Shinazugawa-San?"
Giyuu stood up.

"Tomioka!"
Sanemi ran to Giyuu, hugging him tightly.

Giyuu was caught by surprise, but he didn't question it. He hugged Sanemi back.

Sanemi placed his hand on the back of Giyuu's head. The previous blood had dried out.

"You're okay, right?"
Sanemi asked, his voice almost restless.

Giyuu nodded.
"It's just... My head hurts."
He replied.

Sanemi pulled away from the hug, locking his eyes with Giyuu's.

"I'm sorry, Tomioka..."
Sanemi's voice was shaky.

Giyuu looked up at him.

"Sorry for not being there sooner..."
Sanemi's voice had a tone of genuine remorse, which made Giyuu's gasp softly.

Giyuu soon shook his head in denial.

"It's not your fault... It's mine for not paying enough attention."
He looked down at his feet, a sad expression on his face.

Sanemi looked at Giyuu, his eyes softening.

"Oi... Stop being so gloomy... At least we're both alive."

"The mission is over! You can head back now!"
Sanemi's crow cawed.

The two looked up at the flying crow, chuckling softly.

Sanemi cupped Giyuu's cheek, making him look at him.

He smiled softly, locking his eyes with Giyuu's again.

"Let's head back."

The two reached the Mansion after about 20 minutes of walking.

"Ah... You're back."
Mayumi stood near the front door, smiling at the two.

"You're very injured... But don't worry, the doctor is here!"
She stepped aside, allowing the two to walk in.

After cleaning up the wounds, a bandage was wrapped over Giyuu's head.
The doctor told the two to rest for about a few days before heading back to the headquarters.

The two agreed to stay in the mansion with Mayumi for 5 more days.

Two days had passed by.

Giyuu was finally able to take the bandage off his head.
He was sitting in the backyard of the
Mansion, all alone.

Sanemi was walking to the kitchen, but he stopped in his tracks as he noticed Giyuu sitting there quietly.

He smirked, silently walking up to him.

"HEY!"
He shouted, grabbing Giyuu by his shoulders, sending a shiver down his spine.

"Ah!"
Giyuu flinched, turning around to look at Sanemi.

Sanemi's eyes widened at Giyuu's frightened face. He laughed heartily.

"This isn't funny..."
Giyuu pouted.

"I know... I.... I am sorry.... Really- "
Sanemi couldn't control himself as he laughed loudly.

"If you're going to laugh at me like this, then it's fine. I'll be leaving."
Giyuu stood up, ready to walk away.
