New Life (Katakuri X OC) ✓

Anger

Katakuri grabbed the doctor's collar lifting him up, choking him a little. "How is my wife and child?" Katakuri said glaring at the doctor, the doctor struggle to keep himself up from the ground.

"Calm down, nii-chan" Brulee said.

"Let him finished, Katakuri" Perospero tried calming him down too. After a moment of glaring, Katakuri finally put the doctor back down.

"We have tried our best, but Croissant-sama lost too much blood. Her breathing is really weak right now" The doctor explained.

"How about my child?" Katakuri asked.

"We.. I'm sorry.." The doctor said looking down.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Katakuri said, he knew but he still wanted to hear it.

"It was too late" The doctor tried to continue.

"I'm sorry for your lost" The doctor said looking down, there was silence for a moment.

"..." If Katakuri didn't wear his scarf, people could see he gritted his teeth.

Katakuri didn't say anything as he retreated to his room alone, he was sad and angry, and if he continued talking it would lead into something unwanted, that's why he kept silence.

"I hope you have some good news, perorin" Perospero said.

"I'm sorry but, all depends on Croissant-sama's will starting now." The doctor said.

"We can only pray that Croissant-sama wakes up soon" The doctor ended.

"You have done your best, perorin. You can go" Perospero ordered

'It's all my fault..'

'I couldn't protect her'

'She .. '

"Cro.."

Croissant hasn't woken up for the last few days, she has slept in the infirmary for a few days, and in a week time if she doesn't wake up, she will be moved to her own room. Katakuri hasn't left his room since, denying anyone who wanted to see him, also refusing to eat a thing.

Brulee has regularly visit Croissant to talked to her even if it was only her talking. But then when Brulee mentioned how Katakuri didn't eat for a week now, Croissant finger twitched. Brulee immediately told Perospero.

Even while unconscious, Croissant still worried about Katakuri, he thought

Then Perospero decided that he must succeed in dragging his brother out of his room that day.

Perospero knocked at Katakuri's door.

"What?" Katakuri reply after a moment of silence.

"You should go see, Candy, Katakuri" Perospero said.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Hearing no reply, Perospero decided to enter regardless of his brother's word. Perospero was shock for a moment, the room was completely destroyed, bed was shred, windows were broken, the floor had holes, but Katakuri was not at sight.

Perospero looked to his side, surprised again as he saw Katakuri was sitting down on the floor leaning against the wall beside the door with one leg pulled to his chest as he rested his hand in his knee.

"I can't face her, Peros-nii" Katakuri finally said with his head down.

"..."

"But she needs you" Perospero said.

"We don't know when she will wake up, but wouldn't she feel better when she woke up seeing you first" He continued.

"You should stay by her side."

"..."

Finally, Katakuri stood up, as he strode to face Perospero he then asked.

"Can I borrow your bathroom, Peros-nii?"

"Of course, perorin" Perospero said smiling.

After he finished cleaning himself, he went to the infirmary to see Croissant. Croissant was lying there unconscious, her chest would move up and down matching her breathing.

Brulee was sitting beside her seeing two of his brothers entering she got up to greet them. Brulee glanced at Perospero and nodded, then the both of them strode to exit the room.

Katakuri walk closer to see his wife, his finger lightly brushed her bangs gently away, cupping her pale cheeks for a moment. He then sat down on the chair clasping his hand together resting his elbow against his thigh.

Sighing deeply as he was still full of regret. He glanced once again at her sleeping face.

"Peros-nii was wrong" he mumbled

"I'm the one that needs you"

It's been two months and Croissant hasn't shown any sign of waking up, Katakuri spend many of his times beside her, leaving all his works unfinished, but after Perospero told him to care more of his island he finally decided to work.

The maid that was from CP-0 was locked in the dungeon, even with all the torturing, she didn't say anymore than that Croissant was wanted by the Celestial Dragon.

Katakuri didn't say much when meeting the maid, he just glared at her, as looking at her any longer would only make him sick. Because of that Perospero decided not to kill her, it would be a waste of time.

Cracker came immediately a week after the incident, not like Katakuri, he was furious with the maid. How could she hurt his sister. After being calmed by Daifuku and Oven who had also arrived he finally didn't hit anymore. Leaving the maid half-dead.

The one that didn't leave Croissant was her spear, Ares. He felt torn seeing his master unconscious as he couldn't protect her. The siblings came and go, Cracker cry the moment he saw her state, but that only resulted in Oven commenting "She is not dead you know." That only makes Cracker cry more.

"Good job, Oven" Daifuku said while he shook his head.

That night, Katakuri who couldn't sleep, decided to visit Croissant room. After she was moved to her room, he didn't need to go to the far infirmary, but even if it was far, Katakuri wouldn't have mind.

Entering her room, he saw Ares down on the floor beside her sleeping. He grabbed a chair and sat beside her. Staring at her face, as he sighed.

"When will you show me your smile again, Cro.." Katakuri mumbled as he gripped his hand together.

The next day, Katakuri was ordered by Big Mom to kill some trespasser, he was reluctant at first but because he didn't want to disobey his mother, he went there, it was not far but being away from Croissant made him anxious.

It was a month when he finished slaughtering them because it was not as reported as the trespasser decided to run leaving some behind, but Big Mom wanted to annihilate all so Katakuri had to chase them, after finishing he called Brulee and he immediately went back by the Mirror World home, leaving his ship for his men to sail back.

Even if Katakuri was afraid to not be there when his wife wakes up, he was more afraid that when he went home, she would still be asleep. And that was what happen. He went to her room via Mirror World and she was still sleeping.

He sighed yet again seeing her. He sat down beside her on bed, lifting her hand with both of his hand, he lightly kiss her knuckles.

"Please wake up, Cro.." he whispered.
