You'll Be Just Fine (BxB Budo x Taro Next Gen Main Ship)

Chapter 29 - Winner Went Home

-9 am, Cloudy-

The limo stopped back at the Himitsu manor. Ryukon got out of the car with both Infos and went to the trunk. They all met up in the living room. The boss turned around toward Ryukon.

"So?..."

Blue dropped a black body bag onto the ground. The boss walked over and unzipped it. She was stained head to toe in her own blood. Ryukon was holding back tears. He hated this sight, but not as much as seeing Keito dead.

The man smiled, "...I guess I'll have to make a call... Keito."

Keito looked at him. The man tilted his head toward Ryukon and walked upstairs. Kane looked at him.

"Are you from a gang?" she whispered to Ryukon.

"Kane."

She listened to her grandfather and ran upstairs on her tippy toes. Keito lifted Ryukon off his feet and walked out the door with him. Info White understood why he didn't celebrate immediately. He knew better.

-10 am, Clear-

The group arrived back at the Aishi household to sunny autumn weather. The cool breeze had disrupted the sun's heat, but it wasn't fair weather. It just jumped between hot and cold. As soon as Info White unlocked the door, she looked around the house to see if anything was out of line. She then placed her bag onto the couch.

"Well, that was fun," White commented.

Keito lifted Ryukon off his feet, hugging the life out of him. Ryukon half smiled, since his skin was still covered in glass. Keito kissed his neck, which allowed a smile to crawl onto Ryukon's lips.

"...You're safe now..." Ryukon said.

Keito saw the life drained out of Ryukon's eyes, "...yeah... yeah I am..."

He was choked up. He hugged Ryukon again, making sure that Ryukon's face was against his chest.

"...Ow..." Ryukon went.

Blue patted him on the back, "you're a free man now... What are you gonna do?"

"Man... I don't even know..." Keito smirked. Blue chuckled. He was happy for Keito. He left in the best way. Keito brought Ryukon over to the couch so he could get all the glass out of his skin.

After an hour, Keito was cuddling Ryukon on the couch. He lifted Ryukon's face and planted a kiss on them. He couldn't stop littering his face with smooches for a good two minutes. Ryukon smiled, wishing for it to never end. However, his phone brought his focus back. This time, in the form of a call. He placed his forehead against Keito's lips, and answered his phone. Keito sighed.

"Hey, ma... How was your trip? I know you guys are coming back today," Ryukon said.

There was no answer on the other end. Eventually there was a sigh.

"...Son?.... Where's the Yanslayer?" Taro asked.

Ryukon didn't answer at first. His eyes then welled up. A sniffle escaped over the phone.

"...I get it now..." Ryukon said, ".... I get it..."

Taro had seen the moment arriving in his dreams for years. Perhaps he could finally rest now.

"You used it... didn't you..."

Ryukon hiccuped, "I had no choice. Things just got worse and worse until I finally had to... I'm sorry... Dad, I'm sorry if you're listening too..."

And he was. Budo sat on the couch, speechless. He went cold from the thought and turned on the news. He looked for anything relating to any murders. He found a news story about a fight going on between a boy with a katana and a girl with a gun. He then found a stray bullet hole in the floor and the decapitated Halloween doll.

Taro looked down at Budo and wiped his eyes, "I'm sorry, Budo... I just knew..."

Budo sat there for a moment before he stood up. He hugged Taro and kissed him on the forehead.

"Yeah.... I guess you did..." Budo said.

"... Please don't let this split us up... I never knew I had this sense... I never knew it was really genetic. I-"

Budo stopped him with a peck and released, "if this is the case, then so be it... As long as he uses it to protect people and not go on a random killing spree, then fine... He has to be a force for good when using that ability... No rage... No greed... protection..."

"...Yes, father..." he said, overhearing them, "I promise to use it only to protect..."

Budo looked at the phone and took it, "very well... Who did you even fight anyway?"

"The Yakuza.... But I was able to get Keito out of it.... Hello?"

Budo just dropped the phone and headed upstairs, blank in the eyes. Taro picked up the phone.

"Well, congrats on that I guess..." Taro said, "are you still staying at the Aishis house for today, or are you coming home?..."

"We'll be coming home soon," Ryukon said, "see you then..."

"See you... and Ryu... I'm sorry..."

Ryukon sighed, "it's not your fault..."

They both hung up. Keito looked into Ryukon's eyes, asking if he was alright. Ryukon kissed Keito's cheek and hugged him. The front doors finally opened. Info San and Ayano walked through the door with their red luggage. Info San could only chuckle.

"...Congrats, Ryukon..." Info San said, "you likely have the whole rest of the year off... Unless you're trying to get more missions..." she rolled her luggage over to the couch, "what you have is an incredible skill... I think you should become a spy... Really... no joke... The police could only beg for someone with your talents..."

"Well, I could see that," Info White said, "but it's only because he gave up on getting rid of the Yakuza..." she rolled her eyes.

Info San looked at Ryukon, "I mean... I don't see why not. Perhaps someday when his skills are perfected... If he's like this now, imagine him at his peak..." she headed upstairs with her bags, following Ayano. The group looked at Ryukon, imagining the idea. Keito had shifty eyes about it, but he knew better than to say that Ryukon was incapable.
