Chapter 14: We're Alive at Least!

Days?: I Choose You! Part 2

(Mistral: Mistral City: 79th Floor Area: Air Bus: Pilot Room)

"Don't worry, the enemies didn't even see us and I made sure to break all the cameras in the Hangar before I charge in. So no worrying about the Olympians trying to track us down." I argue with Izaya, since I made sure to destroy all the cameras that zoom into the Air Bus we wanted to steal.

'I'm more surprise we manage to steal an Air Bus in the first place.' I thought with surprise, but still just waiting for something bad to happen. Right now, I just have to wait for my aura to regenerate back to full before I could either summon my [Persona] or use my [Magic].

"Well, unless they implanted a tracking chip somewhere on this Air Bus." I thought out loud, glancing at Ziarre. Making the poor woman shiver at my gaze and started to whimper louder.

"Besides, they were about to find us anyway and we just take the best chance to reach our goal. Shouldn't you be happy for our successful mission?" I ask Izaya, as I wait for his response while keeping my center of balance as Ziarre continue steering the Air Bus from being shot down by the enemies' Airships.

A whole minute went by and so far, Izaya didn't say anything as of yet. Being a little curious about the lack of response, I look in Izaya's direction to see why he is so quiet when he should be angry at me for getting us into this kind of a mess.

What I find was that Izaya is unconscious and notice Shigure is holding her [Wooden Sword], which she used for training most of the time.

Connecting the dots wasn't that hard and I knew it was Shigure, who knocked Izaya out. I guess Izaya did something to annoy Shigure enough to earn himself a smack by a [Wooden Sword], to the point of being knocked unconscious.

"Hey, Shigure. Got any idea on how many there are chasing after us?" I ask Shigure while keeping my eyes forward. Just to make sure Ziarre doesn't try to take us to somewhere we wouldn't want to go to.

"A...dozen...maybe?" Shigure isn't too sure right now, with the Air Bus being too big and blocking most of her views of the outside. So, she can't tell the exact number of Airships chasing after us.

"Do we even have a defense system on this Air Bus?" I ask Ziarre, but she was too busy trying to get us out of here alive, to even hear my question.

So I repeat it once more and this time I speak a bit louder than before. So Ziarre could hear my question.

"I don't know! Please don't shoot!" Ziarre cried out in terror and I feel amazed that her piloting skill isn't decreasing one bit, if anything, she getting better by the minute. Showing how talented Ziarre is in piloting Airship.

'I guess she one of those type of people, who is scared of mostly anything dangerous towards their life and become some amazing person once they take a hold of something, which brings out their potential for the world to see.' I glance at Ziarre's face, which is cover in tears.

'Maybe it's a bit of a mix.' I rethink about what type of a person is Ziarre, but I know talent when I see it.

"Shigure keeps an eye on Ziarre, and maybe on Izaya if he wakes up. I'll figure out a way to get those guys off our back." I said to Shigure, as I exit the Pilot Room while Shigure already switching her spot with Izaya in order decrease the distance between herself and Ziarre.

Also, Shigure takes out her [Nodachi] for long reach just in case she can't get out of her seat fast enough and when Ziarre notice Shigure's [Nodachi]. Ziarre let out a pitiful whimper and more tears appear after seeing a little girl holding a weapon that almost tall as she is.

35 minutes later*

(Mistral: Mistral City: 79th Floor Area: Air Bus: 2nd Floor Level: Unknown Room)

It took some time, but I managed to find some kind of room at the 2nd Floor Level where I could see a few enemies' Airship on my the left side of the Air Bus.

Taking out my [Evoker], then place it against the side of my head, "Persona."

Hearing the familiar sound of scattering glass and pale blue fog cover my body once more. As I summon [Amakusa Shirou Tokisada] from my Sea of Souls.

Even without a verbal order, [Amakusa Shirou Tokisada] phase through the Air Bus' glass windows and just float outside.

Both of my [Persona]'s arms started to release a blinding white light and at the same time, unlocking more knowledge, which is being downloaded into my brain. In a single second, the world pause for a moment, then resumes the time flow.

I fall down to the ground, as darkness covers my vision and as I fall unconscious due to having my aura reserve empty. Making this a total of 8 times now.

unknown time pass by*

Days?: Awaken!

(Mistral: Mistral City: Unknown Floor Area: Air Bus: 1st Floor Level: Infirmary Room)

"Ugh." I grunt in pain while I feel my whole body is on fire and everything I see is mostly blue and black.

"Enma!" I heard Shigure's worried voice while my vision hasn't returned back to normal after a few seconds, since I still see some black spots along with a mix of everything in blue, making it harder for me to see my surroundings.

"Shigure?" I call out for Shigure, then felt someone holding my left hand and knew this someone is Shigure, who is shaking with the way she holding my left hand with both of her hands.

"I'm...glad...you're...awake...I'm...so...happy." I could hear Shigure is trying to not cry, but I knew the reason she is sad right now is because of me.

"It's okay, Shigure. I'm still here." I try to cheer Shigure up, even though I could can't see her. But, at least I can still hear her and feel Shigure's hands with my left, knowing she still here with me.

"I'm...so glad..." Shigure whisper softly, as I feel the bed move a little and made a small noise as Shigure get on the bed and hug me while placing her head on my chest. Sadly, this caused me lots of pain from the sudden extra weight on me. Making the pain, even worst than it already is and also reminding me about when I trying my best to ignore the pain.

I just stay quiet while patting the top of her head to comfort her, even if it does cause me to feel more pain towards my right hand from just patting.

'I'm mostly surprised that I'm not shouting at the top of my lungs as of right now.' I thought to myself, as I gather my thoughts on what happen after summoning my [Persona], but for some reason, I have no clue what my [Persona] did at that moment.

Of course, it's mostly on pure instinct when I use my [Persona], which just happen to be my second time summoning him. I close my eyes as I continue to calm Shigure down.

What felt like hours was actually just a few minutes, as Shigure finally releases me and place a metal object in my left hand. Feeling the familiar shape of the metal object, I already knew this is my [Evoker].

"I...was...able...to grab...it...before...anyone...could...touch it." Shigure explains to me she didn't let anyone touch my [Evoker], with it being the only thing that helps me summon my [Persona].

Of course, I could replace it by buying another one from the [Persona System], but the price is just too much. The [Evoker]'s price is [3000 System Points], but the reason why it cost so much is the [Upgrade] and [Attachment] for it.

The [Magic Bullet] and the [Repair Feature] aren't included with the new [Evoker] like my current one. I can't even repair the new [Evoker] without the [Repair Feature], which cost me 5x the price on the new [Evoker]. Being [15000 System Points]. The [Magic Bullet] falls under [Upgrade] and compare to the [Upgrade] for my [Magic] with the price of three times the previous cost or the [Magic]'s price. The [Upgrade] for the new [Evoker] is 10x the price of the new [Evoker]. So, my starter weapon [Evoker] actually worth [45000 System Points].

Heck, I could still get the [Tarot Cards] as well, but I've to keep on purchasing every time I use the [Tarot Cards]. Because it doesn't include the unlimited amount of usage and there no [Upgrade] that give that.

I guess something isn't buyable compare to the other, but I didn't regret my choice of a starter weapon.

However, much to my disappointment is that the [Mask] for [Persona] summoning isn't available for me to buy or I just didn't unlock it for me to buy it.

There is a theory I came up with is that with the chosen starter weapon I picked, being the [Evoker]. The [Persona System] unlock all the [Upgrade] and [Attachment] for the [Evoker] since this is my forever path for [Persona] summoning, along with denying access to the other [Persona's Summoning Gear]. The [Tarot Cards] would have countered this theory of mine until I realize it's part of the [Arcana Chance] and [Shuffle Time].

[Arcana Chance] requires me to purchase the [Tarot Cards] first, but the price would be 3x the previous price of purchasing the [Tarot Cards] in order to turn the [Tarot Cards] into a [Arcana Chance].

Sadly, I decided to stay away from [Arcana Chance] until I reach the right amount of [System Point] and strong enough to deal with the [Reverse Effect].

Then, there the [Shuffle Time], which is pretty much the same with [Arcana Chance] compare to both in the games. Instead of gaining them through the after match of the battle, I could just buy them and see what I get.

So in a way, the [Tarot Cards] are both for my [Persona] summoning, [Arcana Chance] and [Shuffle Time]. Making [Tarot Cards] more towards random reward or penalty than using as a summoning.

I have no idea what would happen if I picked something other than [Evoker] as my starter weapon, but I knew it would change something in the [Persona System].

I blink once when Shigure pinch my left cheek and notice Shigure glaring at me.

"Sorry?" I apologize for some reason, but didn't know if it because I made her worry or because I was doing my inner monologue again.

Shigure let out a sigh, then give me a small smile, "I'm...happy...to...see...you finally...awake."

I give Shigure a smile of my own, to show that I appreciate Shigure's concern for me and know she cares for me, making it worth more the effort on my end to keep Shigure happy.

"Thanks for watching over me." I said to Shigure, as my vision finally get back to normal and I could see clearly again after what was like 30 minutes or so.

"So how long was I unconscious for?" I ask Shigure a little curious. After all, I missed so much time when I could've done something at those time.

"You...been...unconscious...for...2 days." Shigure said in a sad voice and look like she hasn't slept in those 2 days, with those dark circles under her eyes to show me that Shigure hasn't been sleeping that much or been having trouble sleeping.

Also, the fact that it still hasn't been a week since Shigure's first kill and first group kill, so I wasn't, well, conscious at the time to help Shigure deal with her kills, when the whole time she was worried about my health and don't know if I wake up or not.

I felt really bad that I cause so much trouble for Shigure. So, I pull Shigure next to me on the bed, causing her to let out a small yelp in surprise that I pull her towards me and ignore the sudden spike of increased pain throughout my body when this is worth the pain. Plus, I'm not that weak enough to not be able to pull Shigure with a single arm.

"Don't worry. Just take a nap for a few minutes. I'll be still awake by the time your nap is over." I continue patting her head while trying to persuade her into taking a nap.

Shigure didn't have the strength to resist and instantly fall asleep, with a small smile on her sleeping face, showing she can rest easy now. Knowing that I'm alright, even if it could be a dream to her.

"Crap." I just realize something, "I forgot to ask Shigure what did I missed during those 2 days."

I don't know if we in a dangerous situation or not, but with the new knowledge, my [Persona] unlocked for me somehow. I could think up, even more, plans, rather they are safe or dangerous, but come with a great reward at the outcome.

Depending on what I find out from Izaya, by then I should have enough backup plans to use without worry.

I try to get up to a sitting position, but massive pain shot throughout my body as they begin to feel like they on fire once more.

Silently, I grit my teeth in pain while trying not to shout. Which will wake Shigure up instantly and Shigure deserves a rest for all her trouble. So, once more, I'll just deal with the pain while casting [Dia] onto myself, which was a bad decision on my end.

Instead of dulling the pain or repair what's wrong with my body. A new wave of pain going through my whole body and I honestly don't know if this is good or not, because I felt like I just empty my aura reserve again. But, don't know if this is true or not. Because not once did I feel any pain from emptying my aura reserve once.

What felt like hours was only a few minutes and the pain slowly gone back to the level of dull pain, where I could slowly move my body.

'By the Seas of Souls, I do hope we're in the clear and not in danger. I can't fight at all and seeing how much pain [Dia] caused me. I don't want to know what would happen if I use [Aqua] or even [Nadtera] now.' I dread of the outcome of what would happen if I use my other two [Magic].

"Well." I heard Izaya's voice, "Look like you finally awake. How are you doing?" Izaya walks into the room and at the same time, Izaya looks at me with narrow eyes and a big grin on his face.

"Awful." I said with pain in my voice while trying to turn my head towards Izaya with lots of effort at my end.

"I could tell easy enough." Izaya snort at my current state.

"Are you just here to mock me or do you have something to say?" I didn't feel like messing around right now when I'm so defenseless at this very moment and maybe a few more days or months, depending on how bad my current situation is.

"Well, I was planning on stabbing you a few times to satisfy me because of your action two days ago." Izaya looks like he would really stab me in the gut, but didn't even take out his [Flick Blade] yet and continue to enjoy my painful state, "However, seeing the sight before me is satisfying enough."

'Now, I really wanted to be the one who knocked him out, but I guess Shigure doing it already made me feel a bit better.' I thought to myself while still a bit annoyed at Izaya.

"Anyway. I wanted to tell you, that Ziarre manage to land us in the 59th Floor Area and we have plenty of [Dust] to keep the Air Bus running to get us to at least 57th Floor Area." Izaya explains to me, that we're currently in the 59th Floor Area.

However, what caught my attention the most is [Dust], which Izaya is pretty much telling me. He planning to use all the [Dust], including the [Crystalline Dust] to get to the 57th Floor Area.

When Izaya notices the look I'm giving him, he realizes what he slips out and feels the urge to run away. But, when he remember I'm in no condition to even lift a finger at him. Izaya feel like he doesn't have to listen to my demand for [Crystalline Dust].

"Use those [Crystalline Dust] and I shall show you the meaning of pain after I get better." I said in a calm, but emotionless tone.

This caused Izaya to shiver at my tone and knew what I say would become true in the future.

Izaya quickly thinks up a few plans in order to protect himself from my wrath by making the usage of [Crystalline Dust] unavoidable and is required to be used as the fuel for the Air Bus.

I was just about to threaten Izaya about what I would do to him if he dares use a single [Crystalline Dust], but pause for a moment when I remember something missing.

"Where Ziarre?" I ask Izaya, who was still thinking about what to say when he heard my question.

"Huh?" Izaya looks confused for a moment, then finally realize what I just ask, "Oh! She should be getting supply and don't look at me that way. I have my way to make sure she would gladly join our side." Izaya looks proudly at the fact he manages to recruit someone like Ziarre.

"Okay, that's good I guess. But, why her of all people and you said something about how it would a bit harder to steal an Air Bus, which we successfully did. What's the reason to pick Ziarre though?" I wanted to know what make Ziarre so important that Izaya would at first, think our success rate of stealing an Air Bus became lower, then later he wanted to recruit Ziarre. Which he somehow manages to do at some point while I was in a 2 day coma.

"Give me a second." Izaya takes out his scroll and search through his data files, to find what he wanted to look up. Izaya took about a minute or so, "Okay, I'm just going to to give you a short summary about why I picked her instead of some random one we could easily grab."

Izaya glare at me for a moment, remembering it was my fault we rushed and now we should be on the Olympians' radar somewhat.

"Anyway, the Mapiya family is known to be the number 1 in piloting any Airship with ease and could outmaneuver pretty much anyone, but their own family members that have more experience. Also, along with being the best in piloting, they are known to be the one, who created the very first Airship and more than half of the current ones we have up to this date. In a way, having one of the Mapiya would be a big advantage to whoever recruit them. Because all Mapiya are taught at a young age to learn everything about Airship to the point of being able to repair what should be known as beyond repairable to the common folks and knowing how to rebuild an Airship with enough materials and time." Izaya finish explaining to me on why Ziarre is so important and I must say, I am pretty I'm impressed.

Another family unknown belongs to the canon of RWBY, or just another thing make this world of mine different from the canon world.

"Okay, I am impressed." I'll be honest that I'm truly amazed to find out more about who, or which family, created the Airships that are being used every day daily lives.

"Anything else I should know about the Mapiya, along with Ziarre herself?" I look at Izaya from the corner of my eyes.

"Well, even though they are the best in piloting Airship. As for vehicles on land and sea, they decent at best like everyone else. However, from what Ziarre told me after promising her a few things. She one of the best of her generation and is actually the heiress of the family. The only reason she was with the Olympians, to begin with, is because of a small favor." Izaya answers my question and reading up on what else he researched so far.

"Plus, the fact that Ziarre's family won't hunt us down because the deal between the Olympians and Mapiya made between each other, that Ziarre herself should not be in any danger towards her life. Luckily, I manage to wake up before Shigure did something that could ruin the chance to recruit her and the only reason Ziarre not demanding to be released after you threaten her before." Izaya pauses in his explanation while looking at me like I'm some idiot for threatening someone important and that person was the one piloting the Air Bus we're currently on right now.

In my defense, either way, we could have ended up being killed by being shot down. So I just motivated Ziarre to do better, even if it seems cruel. Well, it is cruel I guess, but I had to do something and I don't have any [Mind Magic] that could control other's minds.

"Is because this is the only time she ever went outside of her family place and up to now she been sheltered at least a third of her life. One of the promises I made to her was that she can tag along with us until it time for her to return to her family and you have to stay away from her a few feet between each other. Also, the fact that you manage to capture Ziarre, along with the Air Bus and escaped successfully is the main factor that her family won't try anything against us." Izaya stop for a moment to let this sink in.

I just look at Izaya with a blank stare and wonder if the Mapiya is more powerful than Schnee or are they weaker is what I'm wondering about right now, but the look on Izaya's face tells me that I better be listening.

"When the Mapiya family found out three kids manage to do something not most people, let alone kids, to bypass the security of an Olympians' Branch Base. Not a Main Base, but still a Branch Base belongs to the Olympians themselves is something worth praising. So, the Mapiya allow Ziarre to join on our travel to make an investment towards us in a way to make an alliance with us when we manage to become something big in the future. Letting Ziarre stay with us will give the Mapiya more information on how much our worth in this future alliance." Izaya finish explaining to me that if we manage to become something big in the future. We may have a chance to make an alliance with the Mapiya family.

"How do we know they won't stab us in the back when they have the chance?" I ask Izaya once I finish organizing my thoughts and another set of plans being made to protect and Shigure against the Mapiya family. Maybe including Izaya as well, depending on how our bonds are during that moment in the future.

Izaya's eyes gain a sharp glint, "By then, we should have enough strength to fight back even if we have to start all over again. At least we keep our lives and the experiences we build up over time. Making it much easier on us later if we require to start over."

I look at Izaya to see if he serious and a little surprise when he said 'we' instead of 'I' in his answer.

"That's good to hear." I wanted to nod at Izaya, but didn't want to cause more pain to appear, but Izaya knew I meant it.

A whole minute went by and neither Izaya or I have spoken, even if there is another topic we could discuss. But, Izaya didn't feel like explaining any more than he already has and just silently walk out of the room, to leave Shigure and me to our rest.

'I just hope my aura would return back to normal in a matter of days.' I thought to myself, as I continue to stare at the ceiling and wait for Shigure to wake up from her nap.

few days later*

Days?: Much Better...Never mind

(Mistral: Mistral City: 59th Floor Area: Air Bus: 3rd Floor Level: Dining Room)

"You know, this is really good!" Ziarre said with a cheerful tone, as she takes another bite of [Chicken Drumstick].

"Thanks, I guess. But, I'm still confused on where you guys got this [Whole Chicken] from." I said in a bored tone and only a little curious about where they get a [Whole Chicken] from. After all, my body still recovering as we speak and it's taking a bit longer for my aura to regenerate after being used past its limit.

'I swear. Even without aura, I could still work out.' I thought with a little depression, with my aura not protecting me for these days. With Shigure is staying next to me more than usual, to the point of attacking anything that could lead to harming me.

The only few things Shigure allowed me to do while waiting for my aura to return back to its original state is cooking, training without the need of aura, and help create more medical related [Item].

Thankfully, the unlocked knowledge I gained from [Amakusa Shirou Tokisada] includes crafting [Talisman].

It's too bad I don't have a single clue on what the symbols mean by itself and I can only draw out the same design for the [Talisman] with the ending result effect.

Another downside to this is that I can't even create them without [Prana] being used during the crafting stage. Making the [Talisman] itself just a plain drawing of the unknown without containing any power at all.

Still, at least this count towards my [Basic Jack of Crafts Mastery]'s [Training Methods] towards [Art].

[Basic Jack of Crafts Mastery]:

Training Methods:

Cook something edible: (1000/1000)

Build something useful: (32/1000)

Repair something to a decent workable: (2/1000)

Craft something to be shown as art: (1000/1000)

Craft something useful in the medical field: (1000/1000)

Merge something together: (1000/1000)

I berate myself once more, for not taking any equipment with me to train the rest of the [Basic Jack of Crafts Mastery]'s [Training Methods]. But, at least I managed to finish another [Training Methods] and only got two more to do.

In those few days of rest, the only thing I could do in the free time from none related to aura usage training. I finished one of the [Training Methods] belong to [Basic Jack of Crafts Mastery], [Trainee Pistol Mastery] in maintenance, and with [Basic Knife Mastery] in maintenance as well.

Of course, I could have taken the [Mastery Test] for [Basic Detection Mastery] when I already finished all the [Training Methods] for it. But, Shigure denied me the chance to even take it in the first place. She is afraid there a chance I may get injured during the [Mastery Test] and sadly, I didn't have enough proof it was safe. So, I already lost that argument at the moment it begin and Shigure barely replied in a few sentences in that discussion.

"You know the people my family hired to be our chefs are bit better than your dishes, Enma. But, I have to say it is getting better each day." Izaya won't deny that some of the foods I made are better than the one he ate at home.

Shigure just continues to stare at me this whole time, with a worried look and glance around the surroundings once a while. But, nonetheless, Shigure continues eating her share.

I was about to say something about that remark, but something cuts me off at this very moment. A familiar blue light appears before our very eyes and it just happens to be my aura.

Honestly, I didn't know if this is a good thing or not, so the first thing that came to my mind was to cast [Dia], seeing no one but me could see the green light replacing the blue light covering my body. I could feel the familiar sign of aura being drained and healing my body like always.

I let out a sigh of relief when I notice what little pain within my body disappear and I could feel much safer compared to the previous few days ago, with the chance of something dangerous coming near us. Being grimm or worse, human or faunus that decided to become criminals or just have a bad personality.

'Now, I can use [Magic] once more again.' I had no idea how much I rely on [Dia] to heal myself every time I finish training faster than my aura heals me naturally. Also, the fact that I could train much longer thanks to having aura repairing any muscle damage if I did something wrong.

I stand up from my seat, as a smile appears on my face and continue to grow as my aura is finally back to its original state. Even if it didn't increase its capacity, just having my aura back is enough for me to resume my original training. And now, I could take the [Mastery Test] to get [Trainee Detection Mastery].

Not bother to say another word, I rush out the Dining Room towards the Air Bus' Training Room.

Shigure notice this instantly the moment she saw the blue light and finish eating everything on her plate and rush after me, but not before putting her and my plates in the sink, then she chase after me with the help of aura enhance

On the other hand, both Izaya and Ziarre just sat there with a shocked look on their faces and wonder what happen just now.

few minutes later*

(Mistral: Mistral City: 59th Floor Area: Air Bus: 1st Floor Level: Training Room: Entrance)

"Enma...you still...need...to...rest." Shigure blocks the Training Room's Front Door, with her standing in front of it.

I feel like I'm losing my edge during those days and what you know, it was true. Since usual, I would be able to sneak pass Shigure most of the time, but Shigure not only manage to finish her meal and put away the plates but also arrive at this spot before me and I was the first one to exit the Dining Room too.

The next thing I knew it, Shigure is already dragging me back to the Dining Room, where we left Izaya and Ziarre.

1 hour later*

(Mistral: Mistral City: 59th Floor Area: Air Bus: 2nd Floor Level: Living Room)

When we got back to the Dining Room, both Izaya and Ziarre were gone. So, Shigure and I first clean all the dirty plates. Then, Shigure forces me to find Izaya and Ziarre once more to decide on what we should do while Shigure would sometimes check on my health, to see if my aura is back to normal and find out if it would become unstable like before.

After walking through the whole 3rd Floor Level, we manage to find Izaya in the Living Room once we enter the 2nd Floor Level of the Air Bus. But, Ziarre wasn't anywhere in sight and we just walk in the Living Room, where Izaya look at me with a raised eyebrow, as if he asking why I'm here and not doing my usual training.

"Shigure won't let me train until she knows for sure my aura won't act up." I explain the reason why I'm not training right now as we speak and Izaya casual nodded at us, then return back to his scroll.

"Need...to...be...careful...just...in case." Shigure tries to reason with me, with this being the first time she sees this and wanted to be extra careful. Plus, this is happening to her fiance as well.

"Fine. How long would it take you to finish figuring out if my aura wouldn't become unstable once more?" I ask Shigure and gave up on arguing with Shigure at this point and didn't want to make her more worry than she already is.

"A...minimum...of...few...days to...a...month." Shigure didn't want to miss anything and wanted to make sure she got everything right after studying my aura.

I look at Shigure with a blank face and she does the same, as she looks back at me. Waiting for my reaction towards her answer.

"I'm still doing my workout." I won't let myself get rusty by waiting for a few days to a whole month. All those times I could use to make myself stronger would be lost and I won't get it back at all.

If I can't use my newly acquire [Training Dummy] or spar against someone. Then, I'll continue doing my usual workout I have done since I could do it at any time, even when I didn't have my aura unlocked at the time.

Shigure looks at me a few seconds, then nod in an agreement with me since she knows even she can't stop me from training. After all, even she needs to keep on training when there is always someone stronger out there could take us all down in a matter of seconds.

"This is going to be a long month." I thought out loud, as Izaya snorted at me.

"Lucky for you, we are staying in the 59th Floor Area for at least a month because of what we have done. We need to stay hidden for now and not draw more attention towards us until we're ready. And seeing how your not 100% back to normal, Enma. This should be a good time to slow down." Izaya looks at me, with his familiar grin.

"Yeah..." I glare at Izaya, "Lucky me." I scowl at Izaya and allow Shigure to drag me towards her chosen Bedroom on this Air Bus, where she would start her studying on my restored workable aura.
