Chapter Twenty-One: Advancing Forward

A/N: Made this chapter slightly longer than usual due to my lack of update and bc I put a lot of Timeskips 😭

      Y/n stood in her room. Her suitcase zipped open, but completely open and bare. As she sat on her desk chair, staring at it. Still contemplating on taking up offer. Her attention shifting to the door as it swung open to reveal and slightly surprised Mr. Shibukawa. His hand on the door knob as he glanced between her and her empty suitcase.

     "What are you still doing here, Y/n? And you still have to pack! Ha! You can not be this dumb, right?" Mr. Shibukawa laughed. Holding his stomach. "You can't keep holding on to the past, if you keep sitting there dumbfounded, I might as well starting packing for you." Mr. Shibukawa my crossed his arms. Before then making a quick movement. Towards her closet. Stopping halfway as Y/n stood up from her chair and placed it back in its place.

     "Fine, I'll go. But I swear you are just trying to get rid of me." Y/n commented, picking up the book bag she used almost on a daily basis. Flipping it upside down over her bed and emptied it. "I'm packing, but I'm not staying too long."
      "Afraid you'll get homesick?" Mr. Shibukawa teased. Smiling warmly before winking and softly closed the door. Leaving her to begin packing the book bag with some outfits and some necessities.

     Once she confirmed everything she needed was in her bag, she zipped it closed and picked up her phone. Unlocking it and pressed on Retsu's icon. Calling him. Hoping she did not wait too long in order to contact him.

————————————————————

    Even though Y/n had contacted Retsu somewhere in the afternoon, hours before the sun would begin to set, the helicopter ride was still long. It must have been midnight by the time they made it. With Baki already asleep in the makeshift bed the guards had placed him in, and Kozue fast asleep against Y/n's shoulder.

     While Y/n stayed wide awake. She was tired. But was too uncomfortable to even go to sleep. Especially since she didn't want to wake Kozue, she's been through enough throughout the past days.

"So, what made you change your mind?" Retsu softly asked. Quiet but loud enough for Y/n to hear. In which she lifted her head and found him looking at her.

"It was mostly Mr. Shibukawa forcing me out, and partially because I can't exactly handle seeing another person die." Y/n answered. Unsure of how to answer. Looking down as she fidgeted with her fingers.

With what happened to Leroy, she still couldn't let the same happen to Baki. She knew Baki for longer than Leroy, it'd shatter her world.

"I'm glad. It'll mean I'll get to introduce you to my culture even more. I do know you love the food. You love my cooking, imagine the professional chefs we have here." Retsu warmly smiled.

When they arrived, it was early in the morning, way before the sun would rise. Retsu picked up Y/n's bag for her. Watching as she woke up Kozue. Helping her out the helicopter. With both Y/n and Kozue surprised to find a bunch of men knelt down on one knee in front of the helicopter.

"What's going on...?" Kozue asked, confused and dumbfounded, turning to Y/n and Retsu for answers.
"Don't look at me." Y/n shrugged.

Once they made a clearing, a few of them got on to the helicopter. Carrying Baki's bed and carrying him to room. In which Kozue and Y/n followed. With Retsu having Y/n's bag slung across his shoulder. Watching as Y/n and Kozue followed the people carrying Baki. With Kozue staying by his side even after the men carrying him left.*
