Your POV

Kakucho was so happy to have you back in his arms, that he didn't wanted to let go ever again, while you were trying to wiggle out of his bear hug. "What's going on (y/n)?" "Kaku, I'm smelling really bad. I'm sorry, this is embarrassing." "It doesn't matter." "It does.. please."

He let go of you and he saw you blushing. "You don't have to be embarrassed, I'm so happy to have you back, even if you smell like a skunk." "Kakuu!" you pushed him away. "Seriously, you have to help me shower." you begged. "You are not allowed to leave the bed." "Mhmm.. I have to pee. That has to be allowed, doesn't it?!" "Well.. I guess?"

He helped you stand up and walked you over to the bathroom. Your legs were still a bit wobbly and your head was spinning like crazy.  Now seated on the Toilet seat you looked at him and he didn't moved an inch. "I need some privacy, can you go outside and get some painkillers and fresh bedsheets?" "No, I... you get 10 seconds. I'm calling someone to bring those things and you stay here. Don't stand up on your own (y/n), I'm warning you!"

He left and you could pee in peace. Heaven. As he told you, he was back inside as quickly as he left. "Can you turn on the faucet in the shower, please? I'm feeling really uncomfortable like this." you gave him your best puppy eyes. "Damn it (y/n), you're supposed to stay in bed, but I understand your wish. I'm letting in a bath for you. You can't fall down when you are sitting in it." "That sounds like a plan!"

A few minutes later the bath was ready to step inside. The water was comfortably warm, neither too hot or too cold. Kakucho helped you get undressed and step into the water. He sat down on the closed toilet seat. "Isn't this a bit unfair? You're sitting there, staring at me being completely naked in the bathtub..." you told him and he blushed, his eyes now focusing on the other side of the spacious bathroom. "I'm sorry, I will look the other way."

You smiled, because he didn't take the hint. "Kaku, I want you to join me." "But.." "No "Buts", I'm feeling fine and I need you here near me. We don't have to do anything freaky, I just need to feel your skin on mine."

He jolted up and got rid of his clothes while walking to you. You leaned forward and he sat down behind you. He brushed your hair with his fingers and kissed your neck. The moment was so intimate and full of love. He got some shower gel between his hands and started washing your arms and your back with massaging movements.

"When I'm fully recovered, I need you to teach me how to fight." you told him and he stopped and thought about it for a second, but was still confused. "What?" "I need you to teach.." "I understood what you just said. Why? You've lost your trust in us... From now on we will protect you, there will always be one of us by your side. We doubled the security downstairs and upgraded the elevator to the top floors. It's locked with an electronic key now, only the 8 of us got one. We got.."

"Stop Kaku, I trust you and the others. I stayed after I knew what y'all do for a living and I am still. It's just.. I was so helpless." tears started to swell in your eyes again. "They randomly opened the door and stepped inside, searching for the person they just sold. The fear of being the next one was paralyzing." You touched your face, your lip was still swollen and still hurt.

"The first time they grabbed a girl, I wanted to help her. She was screaming and I couldn't just sit there and watch... one of them hit me in the face with his gun. I couldn't do anything, Kaku! Next time they came in I just watched it happen. I.. I feel guilty that I couldn't defend neither those poor girls or myself." salty tears fell from your chin into the bathtub.

Kakucho was shocked to hear your traumatic memory. He embraced you in a hug and let you cry for as long as you needed to. After you calmed down a bit he kissed your neck again. "I will train you, it will be hard, but you will learn how to defend yourself."

After the bath he helped you get dressed in pjs and switched the bedsheets. You were mentally exhausted from your conversation and your body was still in need of rest. The bed was smelling freshly and it was so cosy that you drifted off to sleep within minutes. Kakucho switched out the lights and wished you dreams of happier memories.

Bonten POV

Everyone was sitting at the big meeting table, discussing their next move. When suddenly Rindous phone started vibrating on the table. "Kakucho just texted me to switch places. He has something to tell us, she opened up about what happened in the basement."

Time skip, some minutes later

"So what happened?" Takeomi asked Kakucho. Everyone was now looking at the bicolored eyed man. He told them everything you told him earlier in the bathtub. "... and that's why her face looks like that, they hit her with a gun. She was so brave to try and help the other victim. Now she wants me to train her." he reported.

"That's insane! First of all she will never ever get in a situation like that again and second, how could she possibly defend herself against multiple armed man?!" Takeomi pointed out. "You underestimate her! She can learn how to fight." Mochi stated. "Yeah I'm with him on this one!" Sanzu joined him.  "No, she is.. too fragile." Ran couldn't picture you fighting in his mind. "She's not fragile when she is fully recovered." Sanzu argued.

"Stop this nonsense conversation! The important point is, we will kill every single one of them. Hunt the remaining members of the black serpents down and let them pay for what they have done." Mikey interrupted the Executives before they could jump at each other. "Haven't y'all thought about why they did it? Y'all need to get information before they die. They sell nobody's, strippers, orphans,... people who, sadly, nobody misses. Why did they kidnap her? Why make the effort to pay our security to get into the Bonten building and capture her? It's not their style... There has to be more to it. Does somebody want to buy specifically her?"

Everyone was shocked by Mikeys theory, but he had a point. What was really going on. Why you?
