Yata and Nami are patrolling over the town skirts. "You've been hanging a bit rarely with Fushimi these days", Yata noticed. "He's spending time with the mission", Nami explained. "What's with the smell of jealousy?", Yata teased. " I am not. Im just worried", Nami denied. "Dont lie to me", Yata pinched her nose. "The Black King being kept into custody will slow us down. How long will she stay there?", Yata sighed. "We cannot blame her. She's still a kid after all", Nami said in a weak voice. "Hm... So bad that she came before you", Yata slightly pushed her. "May the best girl wins", Yata smiled.
Prison cell...
Awashima went to check her and saw how she is struggling to escape. Her hands are already full of wounds. "Shinoa, you are only hurting yourself", Awashima dragged her down and let her sit. "Here are some drugs made by Weisman. Take in some", Awashima offered it. Aisaka drank all of them. "Shinoa, Gino came and delievered a whole roasted chicken", Awashima informed. Aisaka's eyes widened. "Gino.. How is he?", Aisaka panicked. "He's fine...there are just some signs of bandage on his arm", Awashima answered. Aisaka slammed the table. "Erina and Gino...are being targetted", Aisaka stuttered. "Call them at once", Aisaka asked. After a while, Erina and Gino entered the cell. Aisaka ran and hugged the two. "Dont leave this place unless I am also able to", Aisaka ordered. "I cannot do that. The fact that Strains are increasing", Gino sighed. "Gino... What is under your sleeve?", Aisaka asked. "Just few injuries", Gino answered. "Mikoshiba never lied to me", Aisaka said in a soft voice. "Asahi created a counterpart of the Kings. They are already here in Tokyo. Anna and Reishi are both struggling to fight them back", Erina reported. "Erina...", Gino face-palmed. "Its all my fault!!!", Aisaka tighten her grip on the two. "Aisaka..stop blaming yourself", Gino patted her head. "Please let me out of this place", Aisaka begged. Erina slightly pushed her and stood up. "You cannot", Erina looked at her with pitty and her eyes and left the room. Gino stayed with Aisaka.
"I dont know what to say...", Gino sat at the bed and scratched his chin. "Sorry for always comparing you to Mikoshiba", Aisaka opened. "No, its fine", Gino smiled. "Mikoshiba had always been our pillar of the group. He is irreplacable", Gino added. "Seeing you stuck here also breaks my heart", Gino stood up and opened the door. "It will always be your choice, your highness", Gino had a bright shade of smile on his face. "Your smiles never failed to lift my soul. I regret that I chose you as a vessel", Aisaka burrowed her face on her palm. Still, she kneels on the ground. "Dont be, it's like saying you regretted that you knew us and had couple of moments with us. We'll bare it all. Good times and bad times. Times where there will be too much supply and scarcity. We'll bare it all. We were the once who tortured you to death, allow us to atone our sin. But more than that, allow us to show how we loved you. Not as a King...but as a friend", Gino took a moment for his speech. Aisaka smiled and wiped her tears. "Let me rest for just a while. Until then, please stay alive", Aisaka stood up.
Scepter 4's gate...
Gino heads out the building and saw Fushimi waiting on the gate. "Let me join you. You are being targetted, right? I am here to offer company", Fushimi offered. "What's your deal? Mr. Four-eyed?", Gino hummed. "It's an equivalent exchange. You protected us and we'll offer assistance", Fushimi explained. "No need Fushimi. Dont get the wrong idea. Its not that I underistimate you. Its just that you are irreplacable to Aisaka's heart. Somewhere deep inside her is still a special place for you", Gino smiled at him. "You are also an irreplacable individual to her", Fushimi looked at Gino with serious eyes. Gino looked down and went closer to the guy. "Always remember, Aisaka is not always that strong. There will be times her feelings will be swayed. During those moments, please be the one to control her" Gino requested. "No, that is your job!", Fushimi declined. "Keep it between us. The Slate is already taking over me. In no time, it will also kill me. Keep Erina and Aisaka safe", Gino informed. "You will furtherly hurt her feelings by suiciding", Fushimi grabbed his wrist. "I wont be like Mikoshiba. I will fight until the last drop of my blood", Gino gently removed Fushimi's grip. "Thank you", Gino walked away. Fushimi bit his lips and went to the opposite direction.
Apartment..the next day...
Fushimi woke up and sensed someone beside him. "Tch, Nami, it's already 6:30 in the morning", Fushimi tried to shake her but she's in deep sleep. Fushimi sat and put on his polo. He also wore his glasses and gazed upon the lady. Nami yawned and fastly sat straight. "Fushimi-san, I suddenly.. Fell", Nami stuttered. "What are you doing in my room?", Fushimi asked. "Im scared. People are starting to panic upon the things that are happening. Gino and Erina-san are getting targetted so I want to stay beside you", Nami reasoned out. "I didnt ask for your explanation", Fushimi stretched his arms. "Nami, dont tell me today's breakfast will be vegetable", Fushimi glared at her. Nami chuckled. "You really hate them dont you?", Nami headed at the kitchen. Fushimi followed afterwards. Both of them sat at the table. "How's your work?", Fushimi asked. "A lot of Strains are scattered around the city", Nami answered. "That air-head grew stronger. Dont worry, he's a reliable partner", Fushimi stabbed the carrot on his plate. "Mikoshiba-san taught him a lot even in just a short period of time", Nami informed. "Mikoshiba...trained him", Fushimi asked. Nami nodded in response. "It's just that Sukuna is still in the process of recovery. If you recalled, they are always together during meeting and break times. The attachment is still lingering on him", Nami added. "Sukuna, that brat", Fushimi recalled when he was nearly killed by the little boy. "Be careful, anyone can die anytime", Fushimi warned. "You're not even comforting!!!", Nami whined. "I'll be here. I can still fight for you, no need to be worried", Fushimi averted his stares.
Tch.... Hahaha. Things are getting cheezy?
When will Aisaka recover from her breakage?
