Everything was seen as blur to me, I had been hit with what I felt was a freight train. The sound of blood dripping onto the concrete below me, the pain of fractured bones all throughout my body, my muscles aching so violently Id think I was being torn apart from the inside, all of which became apparent to me as I was held up there. A mystical blue light illuminated everywhere as the head of two dragons suddenly emerged from inside me, not hurting myself but pushing the Hashimoto in an overwhelmingly manner, going as far as to push him through the warehouse wall and into the ocean. As fast as it appeared, so did it vanish, leaving me to wonder where I've seen it before where it clicked after I saw another figure appear in front of me. A man with his hair tied back, a bow in hand and the left side of his body being covered with a dragon tattoo.

Y/N: "Hanzo?"

Hanzo: "As far as you and I are concerned, I was never here"

Y/N: "But-"

Hanzo: "Not. A. Word"

I silently nodded and watched as he walked up to me, injecting me with some sort of serum which allowed me to get my strength back, enough to walk at least.

Hanzo: "It wont be enough to heal you, but I'm sure you know that"

He says looking over Kiriko whom had fell back over, passing out on the floor again.

Hanzo: "I'm doing right by my brother, he has given me a second chance"

Y/N: "You know you could always come back with us"

Hanzo: "I'm not ready for any of that yet, and tell my brother-"

Y/N: "I got it, thanks Hanzo"

I quietly nod at him and begin to remove myself from the wall, I fall to the ground but land on my feet in pain.

Y/N: "So what are you gonna-"

I look up to see no one there, like I was talking to a ghost. Then I remembered about Kiriko, I began to run over, yelling out her name and get down on one knee in front to lightly tap on her the face despite the pain doing so.

Y/N: "Wake up..."

At first I got no response, so I picked her up in my arms. Only to feel her stir and wake up, take a few moments to look around and then freak out.

Kiriko: "AH! Put me down!"

Y/N: "Can you even walk?"

Kiriko: "Yes! Perfectly even!"

I nod and put her down only for her to stumble around for a bit, then for her to lean against a wall and start healing herself as I watched over her.

Kiriko: "You look worse than I do, come here"

Y/N: "Nah, finish healing yourself first"

Kiriko: "Stop being a stubborn baby and get over here already"

I sigh and stumble over to her reluctantly, feeling much better as she began to lay her ofuda one after another on all my injuries, allowing me to even pop my own shoulder back in place which grossed her out a little bit. During this process, we were provided room for some small talk.

Y/N: "Sorry I couldn't protect you"

Kiriko: "Trust me, its fine. There was no way you could've known he was a spirit user"

Y/N: "Still... I even had a moment when... I don't even know what happened"

Kiriko: "Yeah... Can we talk about that?"
