(A/N)

Thank you to those who were keeping up with the story and I apologise for the long update.
--------------------------------------------------

Anna searched through the box filled with film tapes. Analysing and identifying. Kusanagi leaned over the bar counter and asked, “Are you looking for something?” She responded, “The thing that Tatara had filmed.” The male asked whether there was any of such. He began a small speech as he walked over to the young female about how the male's belongings were everywhere but he didn't think that he had one which captured his figure. Before he finished, Anna called out his name. He looked at the red dressed girl who was presenting a tape which was labelled 'Basashi Commotion'. “Ah… there was. That incident...” he whispered.

~The Memories~

It was May 10th at 17:30 when Anna and Fujishima walked in the bar together. She called out Kusanagi's first name, Izumo. (She tends to call people by their first names). The bartender asked them what the matter was but the response came back as whether they could keep it. (Y/N) faced the two members who were embraced by delight. Kusanagi immediately pulled a face whilst asking what it was that they bought back and if it was a human. “No… It's not a human...” the slim male replied. The opposition seemed surprised by the response before he was stunned by the unusual expression that came from Anna. She had sparkles in her eyes and was blushing from joy. He turned to Tatara and asked him to say something. He held the camera then looked back at his friend saying that it's fine as he would help look after the stray. Kusanagi looked as if his world had ended as Anna dragged him out. Luckily, he agreed to let it stay if it was one or two dogs or cats. (Y/N) crept by the door to see it too. A majestic brown horse was presented to the mini crowd. For a short second (Y/N), Tatara and Kusanagi were silently staring at the horse. Kusanagi screamed in rage as the white headed female and the ginger male petted the horse happily. They were told to put the horse back where it belongs to their dismay. Anna crept up to Kusanagi with a saddened yet cute face saying how he said it was fine.

The ruckus outside awakened Suoh. He walked out yawning with a headache. He then asked for some water. The next thing the red head knew was that he was sitting next to a horse. He stared at it. “Why did a horse end up here…?” the King asked with a questioning look at his friend. Kusanagi had a solemn expression beneath his shadowed face as he sipped his drink in hand. Many questions were asked until he asked if there were only idiots left. Anna called out the spiky head's name. In the background compliments were thrown from left to right from Tatara to the horse. Yet again, Anna tried to charm Suoh with her cuteness using the same expression she used on Kusanagi earlier. “Name it!” she commanded whilst holding a naming sheet to Suoh. The King gave a little thought. The stray looked at him and attempted to make itself look beautiful to have a perfect name.  The atmosphere dropped as he called the horse “Basashi”. Everyone looked shocked, even the animal. (Basashi is a Japanese dish of raw horse meat that is sliced). Anna stared at Suoh with wide eyes. He did not say a word. Her head rotated as quick as a heartbeat when Kusanagi called the day a feast with his usual blank face. Suoh perked up saying how it was not a normal horse… it was a strain. A majestic light emerged from the horse transforming it into a beautiful white unicorn like creature. It's wings opened revealing how angelic it was. The strong wind blew at the audience. Everyone looked at it surprised. “ANIMAL STRAIN EXISTS!!?” the bartender loudly voiced over the heavy breeze. The young female looked mesmerised by the strain. Meanwhile Yata and Kamamoto commented on the strain pulling a disgusted face when it was named. They looked blue. The King's stomach growled as he stared at the shoulder of the horse. The pacifist voiced, “King? Do you seriously just look at it as Basashi?” He did. So he didn't reply.

(Y/N) and Tatara felt bad for Anna when Kusanagi was trying to get around her by saying such unbelievable things. Things like it's sad but it's best to let it fly away to the skies because Basashi is not a 'little kitty' that should be kept shut in a small place. (Y/N) sweat dropped upon hearing this nonsense. He made it seem like the strain was dying although it was totally the opposite. Even Dewa was trying to get around Fujishima but using a more mature and non-stupid method. The male with glasses asked what he was going to do with a horse strain as it is bad but it turned out that Fujishima was only bothered about the strain, not the horse side. Dewa muttered, “Don't just pick up all sorts of things...” whilst glancing at Eric who was sitting on the sofa with a blank look. “No no, it's when the horse breaks down it should be that,” Chitose replied. (Y/N) couldn't keep her eyes off of Kusanagi and Anna's strange 'goodbye' moment. “...Do you have a place you want to go?” the kind hearted girl asked. The strain's eyes slightly glimmered upon hearing the words spoken. The excitement from the strain created a ruckus in the bar, practically tearing it down from within. It started to become quite dangerous from the mess and destruction (plus Kusanagi's anger). “Alright, Anna! Let's go for a walk!” Kamamoto voiced whilst hurrying her out. Fujishima quickly raced out holding onto the strain's bridle. (Y/N) calmly spoke out, “If you want to you can follow them, you know.” She gave a small nod at Eric. Nodding slightly, he left as well. 

Meanwhile, Anna and others were eating taiyaki (japanese sweets) elsewhere. Kusanagi threw a fit in horror, staring at the destruction caused by the 'horse'. He demanded the remaining people to clean up the mess. Tatara handed (Y/N) a broom and took one for himself. They both began sweeping the ground and helped the bar owner fix his place. Kusanagi became serious as he voiced how strain-related incidents are dealt by the Blues as it was their job. The newcomer Akagi then asked whether they were the same people who looked like the police to which the male agreed and explained how the leader of Scepter 4 was also a King. He looked quite surprised upon hearing this new fact. Tatara turned away as he wondered how “He” was doing. Kusanagi responded, “Hmm… doing fine perhaps? I don’t know.” (Y/N) perked up and faced the males. “You are talking about Fushimi, aren’t you?” she sighed, afraid that Yata may throw a fit. Poor Akagi, he still did not know who he was thus the pacifist explained. Fushimi was the one who went to Scepter 4 after HOMRA. Aside from it all, everyone including (Y/N) began to worry that the Blues may be on the move currently.

~A few moments later~

Kusanagi received a worried phone call from Kamamoto. He glanced on the ground, saying no more. His hair shadowed his face as he ended the call. “Kusanagi-san?” Tatara asked. The room temperature dropped as he revealed the news. 

“It seems that Basashi ran wild while Anna was sitting on its back.”

(Y/N) felt her skin crawl. It was a strain. A strain that has run wild with a child. It began to get dangerous. Everyone was in shock.
