Chapter~ 5

~Time Skip because I am author and I hold all power~

Y/n has been working for the Shie Hassaikai for just under a month now, and Chrono's feelings for her only grew. He had somehow gotten the rest of the Hassaikai to stay quiet about his 'crush', with the help of Pops and Overhaul of course. Right now, Chrono was making his way to Eri's room to make sure she was awake. Lately, Y/n would sometimes wake Eri up and get her day started, she said it was so he could get more sleep, which he appreciated, but its not like he could sleep more anyways. He made his way to her room, knocked and walked in. Eri and Y/n were over at Eri's closet and they appeared to be choosing what Eri was going to wear today. "Good morning daddy!" Eri ran over and latched onto Chrono's legs, smiling while looking up at him. "Good morning Pumpkin! Did you sleep good?" "Yup! I had a reaaally good dream!" "Oh did you? What was it about?" He heard Y/n sigh and looked over. "Beats me, I've been trying all morning but she won't tell me." Y/n giggled and made her way over to the trio, helping Eri finish getting ready. "Why not Pumpkin?" "Because! If I tell you, then it won't come true! And I really want this dream to come true!" Eri stood her ground, with her arms crossed and a determined look on her face. "Pretty sure that's wishes sweetie, but, whatever works I guess." Chrono said as he ruffled her hair and turned to Y/n. "I've got a mission that's gonna run pretty late tonight, would you mind watching Eri for me?" Chrono asked Y/n. "Of course! That's not a problem at all." Y/n smiled down to Eri, who was now latched onto her leg. "Okay, thank you!" Y/n nodded, and Chrono knelt down to be eye to eye with his daughter. "Hey sweetie, daddy's gonna be home really late, so I probably won't see you until tomorrow. So be really good for Y/n, okay?" Eri nodded, giving her dad a tight hug. "Okay daddy! I'll be good! I promise!" Chrono chuckled and stood up. "I know you will sweetie, I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow." "I love you too! I'll see you tomorrow Daddy!" "Bye Y/n, I'll see you tomorrow." "Bye Kurono, and good luck!" Chrono nodded and left Eri's room, making his way to Overhaul's office. When he got there, Overhaul, and the other Eight Precepts and Mimic were there. "So, what's the mission?" Chrono asked, going to stand beside Nemoto and Overhaul. "We're going to be meeting some potential business partners, but it might go...south. This group has been giving Pops trouble, so it's entirely possible it's some kind of set up, so be ready for anything." The other Yakuza nodded their heads. They spent the rest of the day coming up with a strategy, and at 6 o'clock, they headed out to meet their new 'business partners'. They arrived at a sketchy looking warehouse. As soon as they walked in, Chrono could sense something was off. In fact, they all did. For that exact reason, they all walked in prepared. Chrono and Nemoto had their guns locked and loaded, Rappa and Katsukame were ready to throw punches, Tengai was prepared to defend whoever needed it, and Overhaul was prepared to slip his glove off if it deemed necessary. When they walked in, they were greeted with the neighborhood scumbag, Ken Hashimoto. "Shie Hassaikai! Welcome to our humble abode. I do hope you came prepared?" Ken smirked as he saw the Yakuza enter his building. "This place is filthy, not sure I'd be bragging about it. And yes, are you ready to finally make that deal?" Overhaul stated seemingly bored, looking at Ken with half lidded gold eyes. "Always such a germaphobe, eh Overhaul? Haha, well about that deal," Ken's expression darkened "It's no longer going to work for us." As he said that, about 20 guys came out from behind him and stood in a fighting stance. "You see, Overhaul your 'peaceful' or whatever ways as a Yakuza aren't gonna work for us anymore, especially not as neighboring Yakuza, so after we kill you, and all your 'Nine Prospects' or whatever you call them, we're going to finally take out that old man, and the little girl. Although, we might not kill her, her quirk could be pretty useful." At the mention of Eri, Chrono was fuming. How dare he even think about going after his little girl. His baby. "Oh! And I probably won't kill that scrumptious little caretaker of hers either...no, no I'll bring her back to have for myself." Ken said as he and his buddies snickered. Chrono could feel his blood boiling. First, they bring up Pops, then his daughter, and now they're going to threaten the girl he loves? He thinks no. "Who knows, I might just share her with my new Yakuza. But, none of that really matters, since you're all going to be dead anyways." With this, the 20 men charged the 11 members of the Hassaikai, so the odds didn't look great, but none of them were going down easy, or if all if they could avoid it. "PRECEPTS!! ATTACK!!" Mimic yelled from on top of Katsukame. With that, an intense and messy battle commenced, and after about 4 hours of nothing but chaos, the Hassaikai had come out on top....but not without a fair share of injuries. Overhaul had been beaten up pretty good, and had been hit with a quirk cancelling quirk, so he couldn't use his quirk for about 24 hours. Tengai had gotten a bad concussion after Rappa had been thrown into him, Rappa had a dislocated shoulder, Katsukame broke his nose, Nemoto got stabbed (He's okay though, it was just in the arm), Hojo and Setsuno were both knocked unconscious, and Chrono...well Chrono took the brunt of the brutal attack. Chrono was shot twice, once in the shoulder, and in the upper part of his arm. He was also stabbed, but in his calf. He had gotten the most bruises and scratches too, and he was almost covered in blood, most of it his. They somehow managed to get back to the Hassaikai. By now, Setsuno and Hojo had woken up and Tengai and Hojo were resting. The others went back to their rooms to deal with their own injuries. Chrono however...didn't get too far past the basement stairs before he collapsed, Nemoto barely catching him. "Dang it, he's lost a lot of blood! Setsuno, go get Y/n! She has medical training!" Setsuno quickly nodded before rushing to get Y/n, while Nemoto brought Chrono to his room. It was around 11 o'clock, Eri ad Y/n were both asleep. Suddenly a series of rapid knocks came from her door, effectively waking up the 20 year old. She sat up in her bed, and Setsuno came bursting in. "Sorry for waking you up, but you need to get to Chrono's room now! He needs help!" "Okay, I'll be there In a minute!" Setsuno nodded and left the room, while Y/n got up and put on some shorts. She quickly ran out of the room and over to Chrono's, almost screaming when she opened the door and saw him lying half-dead on his bead, covered in blood and bruises. "Oh my gosh! Hari Kurono what happened?!" Y/n said as she rushed over to his side, getting the medical supplies ready. "The deal was a bust- *grunt* It was a set up all along." Chrono tried to get up, but Y/n gently pushed him back down. "Stay still, I'm going to be able to help you, but you have to let me, okay?" He just let out pained noises and nodded. Y/n helped Chrono take off his shirt, and almost started crying at the sight. "Kurono..." Y/n trailed off, looking at his bruised and battered torso, covered in small cuts and bruises. She then saw the two bullet holes in this left arm and shoulder. She got to work cleaning his wounds, and removed the bullet fragments from his arm. Luckily for him, the bullet that shot his shoulder went straight through, so there was that at least...after patching up his gun shots, she moved to the rest of his injuries, even patching up the stab wound on his calf. When she was done, his left arm was left bandaged and in a sling, his torso wrapped in bandages for the 2 broken ribs he had received, and his right calf wrapped up as well. Y/n's shoulders started to shake, and her eyes welled with tears. Chrono looked up at her, and he felt his heart breaking. "Y/n, why a-" "Why did you do it Kurono....why would you risk your life!?!" Her small outburst took him back a bit, he had never heard her even slightly raise her voice, but it was loud. "It's my job Y/n, I had to." "You had to?! What about Eri, Kurono? What would she do! What about me!? And Pops! I can't lose you Kurono, I-I" She struggled to find the words, she wanted to tell him how she felt, but that just wasn't a risk she could take. Not now. "I care about you Kurono. I don't want to lose you, so please, please be more careful?" Y/n looked at Chrono with a small smile, even with the tears going down her face, she was still the most beautiful thing on this earth to him. "Okay Y/n...I'll try.." He paused as he grabbed her hand, he wanted to tell her, tell her how he loved the way she smiled, how he loved the little giggle she did at the smallest of things, that he loved how much of a mother she was becoming to Eri, he wanted to tell her how much he was falling in love with her. But he couldn't...he was scared. Scared of rejection, scared of losing the one woman he had ever found himself loving, she was the perfect girl for him, and he couldn't function without her, he couldn't lose her. Pushing his feelings aside, he sat up slightly, "Thank you, Y/n. For patching me up, and...I'm really sorry I did this to you...If it helps we weren't really expecting a fight, a-and I was careful Promise." Chrono looked at Y/n, sincerity filling his fierce gaze. Y/n just smiled even more, and gently pulled him into a hug, minding his injuries of course. "I-It's okay...I'm just so glad you're okay." Y/n and Chrono stayed like that for what felt like forever, until Y/n slowly pulled away. They both sat there, looking into each other's eyes. They were both thinking the same thing. This is it...I'm gonna kiss her/him They both leaned in just a little bit, until "DADDY!!!" Eri ran in, leaping onto the bed and into her daddy's arms, crying. Y/n just looked away, cheeks red and showing her embarrassment. "Daddy what happened?! Why is your arm in a sling?! Why are you covered in bandages!" Eri was clinging onto her dad, crying. "Woah, woah calm down there tiger! Daddy's okay, he just got a little hurt is all. But I'm okay, I promise." He looked down to his daughter and smiled, brushing his fingers through her hair. "It's pretty late sweety, why don't you go back to bed, yeah?" "A-Actually daddy...uhm...mhm..can I stay with you...please..?" Chrono smiled, "Of course Baby." Eri snuggled into the left side of her father (Chrono is on the right side of the bed) being careful of his sling ridden arm. Y/n got up to leave, when a tiny little hand grabbed a hold of her arm. "Wait...daddy?" "Yes Eri?" "...Can Y/n stay with us?" "Eri, We can't ask-" "Please daddy!...I-I I'm scared...please...? Just for tonight..?" Eri hopefully looked at both of her parents. Chrono sighed and looked to Y/n, a half smile on his face. "Well? I don't mind...and she's never going to give up so..." Y/n's face went red and her brain just about short circuited. "A-Are you sure? I-I don't want to make you uncomfortable." "I promise, you won't." "Yeah! Come on Mommy! It'll be like a sleepover!" How was Y/n going to say no to THOSE eyes!?! "Okay Eri." Y/n smiled and got into the other side of the bed. Eri pulled both of her parents close....maybe a bit too close? Oh well. Not for Eri anyways. Eri nuzzled into Y/n's chest, still snuggled up to Chrono. Y/n and Chrono were both laying on their sides, facing each other. Soon after, they both heard little snores coming from the little girl sleeping in between them. "Thank you...Y/n." She lightly giggled, "For what?" "For watching over my little girl. Thank you for being a good mom. She needs you more than you realize you know." Y/n looked down briefly at the little girl, lightly stroking her fingers through her hair, before looking back up to Chrono. "Trust me, I need her just as much as she needs me. I love being her mom...it's a dream come true really." Chrono looked at Y/n with nothing but love, and adoration. Everything he had right now, was all he ever wanted, it was all he ever needed. He wanted to kiss her, tell her how he felt, tell her how much he wanted her to be his...but what would he tell her? He had literally almost died two hours ago, he had willingly gone into a dangerous situation knowing death was a possibility, he was going to leave his little girl and the love of his life. He couldn't do that to her. Not yet, anyway. Someday...someday, I'm going to tell her how I feel. Someday..she'll be mine and I'll be hers. Goodnight Y/n, I "Love you."
