The Warrior and the Ajin

She would be proud

"I have a list of the most points of our Sato countermeasure strategies. I expect you all to memorize them." Tosaki declared.

He looks at Kou and said, "Nakano?"

The orange haired teen looks at him curiously "You especially."

The Ajin chuckles nervously and looks down at his tablet "What's that word?" he asked Izumi, the female Ajin looks and says "Invasion."

Kou oh's and goes back to looking his tablet over.

Kei holds in a sigh of disbelief, sometimes it's amazes him on how dumb Kou can most of the time.

Pushing that to the back of his mind he looks over the plan when one of guys asked, "Hey Nagai, these are you're plans right?" he asked.

Kei looks at him curiously, "Yeah, so?"

He chuckles "Looks like it'll be fun." He said as he turns his head back to the plan.

Turning back around as well, Kei lightly smiled at that, Ruby giggles making the red eyed teenager look at her "What?"

The huntress shrugs her shoulders "Nothing. Милашка."

Kei raised an eyebrow at the Russian word, but to humor her, he says, "I'm not going to question that."

Ruby snorts and looks at the plans.

Qrow frowns at the teens small conversation, because of Summer, he decided to take lessons on how to speak and read Russian.

Winter looks at Qrow in annoyance and jabs him in the rib and pointed to his tablet.

The Huntsman narrowed his eyes at her but listens and looks over the plans as well.

A while later after the meeting was over Ruby was reading a book that Tosaki gave her to pass the time.

She was starting to get tot he climax of the book when she came across Kei and Kou looking up at a noose.

"Why is there a noose here?" she asked making her presence known.

"Mr. Ogura told Nakano that if he wants to control his IBM, he has to die a couple of times. And so, he asked me what could kill him over and over."

Ruby looks at the noose and couldn't help but feel that it was a bit extreme "Wow. That's deep, but a noose? Isn't that a bit...extreme?"

Kei shrug his shoulders and admitted "Yes it is. But with this, he can keep dying automatically. Even sleep through it."

Kou looks at the noose nervously as he tried to calm his nerves and do it. "Okay. I'm ready."

"There's nothing to be afraid of." Kei stated.

"Well, how do you and Ruby just let yourselves die like that?"

Kei raised an eyebrow and asked, "Well you do it, too don't you?"

"But I'm always scared. I'm mean you never know right. I might not come back" He replied.

Looking at the noose Kei said, "It's just a rumor, but I have heard that an Ajin in China has set a record by dying 2,000 times." He looks at Kou, "And the count is still rising."

Kou's eyes widen in shock, how can an Ajin endure being killed that many times over and over? "Wow, they sure go all out." He muttered.

"Whatever it takes...or else we'll never move forward. There's nothing to be afraid of." Kei proclaimed.

"You're pretty amazing."

Kei blushed at that and for a second there was awkward pause before he said, "Just hurry up and die."
