   (The sexual tension between me and someone I'm arguing with about breaking the fourth wall)

   (And for reference when I say 'the group' it's the entire sdr2 cast. Ya know. Okay love you all)

   (Time to write for six hours straight)

   NAGITO POV

   Chiaki and I are both on our feet in a flash. No, not just us, the entire group. Panic and fear spread through the group like a fire and all eyes turn to Souda-san.

   "They...They found us...!" He gasps out. Koizumi-san is by his side in an instant.

   "Explain. Now." She demands. 

   "I saw them, the main department from our ward, heading this way! They're like, heavily armed, there's so many of them!"

   "T-They found u-us!" Someone squeaks. 

   We're surrounded by panicked murmuring. 

   "What are we going to do?!"
    

   "We're all gonna dieeee!" 

   "How did they find us?!"

   Chiaki's voice suddenly dominates them all. "Instead of panicking we should devise a plan. What should we do?"

   The group falls silent. Everyone stares at the ground, searching for ideas but coming up with nothing. 

   "Seems...like the kind of thing Hajime is good at. He's kind of a natural leader, right? I suggest. 

   "Hinata does not seem to be in the position to think properly." A blonde pipes up. 

   "Perhaps Sonia-san can come up with a plan!" Souda-san suggests eagerly.

   "I apologize! But these kinds of things are not my specialty!" The fair-skinned lady responds. 

   "Then we should talk to Hajime then. It's the only logical solution, no? There's little to no time left." I point out. 

   "I'll go check on him." Chiaki offers. I nod at her and she quickly departs from the room. 

   "I believe there's going to be a battle soon. We should all prepare." A silver-haired girl says. 

   "Alright!" A buff brunette grins. 

   "Guys, there's a problem!" Chiaki shouts, jogging back into the room. We all turn at the sound of her voice.

   "Hajime's gone!" 

================================================================================

   HAJIME POV

   "Turn around! Slowly! Hands up!"

   I let out an exasperated sigh as I begin to follow the familiar voices orders. 

   "Saihara Shuichi, huh?" I say with a slight snicker.

   How did I get here? Let's back up a few minutes. 

   After departing from the hideout for Nagito's safety, I was walking around aimlessly. I was trying to lie low, not wanting to draw attention to myself. I'm a wanted criminal after all.

   In the distance I heard the familiar sound of sirens and large vehicles. Like, some sort of officers were heading somewhere nearby.

   I briefly wondered if investigators have found us already but decide it's not possible. 

   Ah man, was a wrong about that.

   Because not long after that I hear someone's footsteps fall into step a little ways behind mind. At first I thought nothing of it but once I started picking the most random directions to go and they still followed I knew something was up.

   Deciding to confront this person, I lead this person down a dead end. But before I could make a move of my own they acted first. 

   "Turn around! Slowly! Hands up!"

   I let out an exasperated sigh as I begin to follow the familiar voices orders.

"Saihara Shuichi, huh?" I say with a slight snicker.

   "Tch. Hinata Hajime," He points his quinque at me, "I always knew there was something off about you."

   My eyes harden. "I never did anything." I respond tightly. He sniffs.

   "No one in their right mind would believe you. And now, I'm finally going to kill you. Say goodbye."

   'Why do ghoul investigators keep targeting me personally...'

   "I don't want to fight you, Saihara. Come on, I know you're better than this." I plead calmly, extending a hand to this.

   "I'll no longer fall for your twisted deceptions." He growls. 

   "Saihara, please."

    He begins advancing, swinging around his weapon around with professional precision. 

   Okay, so we're doing this.

   I release my kagune.

   NAGITO POV

   "I'm going to go find him!" I decide abruptly. But before I can leave Chiaki grabs my sleeve.

   "Nagito, you can't! It's not safe! Doves are coming into the city as we speak!" She hisses. I frown at her.

   "Exactly! Hajime can be in danger! I've got to find him!" I insist, struggling in her grip.

   "He can take care of himself! He'll be back soon!"

   I shove Chiaki off me. She stumbles back, falling onto the ground. "Sorry Chichi, but this is just something I've got to do."

   I brush past everyone else standing in my way before they can grab me and race out of the building.

   I don't know how much time I have left.


   (Sorry for the lack of action and it being high-key poorly written but I think it's about to get better.)
