The sound of water dropping, the footsteps of guards walking tro and fro, the screeching sound of rats and the scream of prisoners being tortured, Tatsuya could hear all this going on around him, he was one with the environment, I've felt as though he was connected to the prison itself, and that's what kept him alive all this while
'How many days, no weeks, no months. I don't know I can't tell, what am I doing here'
Tatsuya looks down at his lean hands. His entire body had dried up, his bones where all visible, his eyes where good as dead
'What am i doing here, when am I leaving, huh I don't know I can't tell'
"What an unlucky boy, I hope he isn't dead"
"Yeah right?? Everytime I pass his cell all he does is look at me as if he was looking at my soul"
Two talked with themselves
.
"Ano.... when are we going to reach, if we can please hurry it up"
Ineyo says with a saddend face, that's right. The entire squad was present here to. Today was Tatsuya's release date
"Missy please be calm, we will soon approach"
One of the guards assured her
Soon after walking a few steps they approached his cell, the guard with the key opened the cell and the entire group looked at Tatsuya in horror.
He was leaning in the wall all dried up. Tatsuya raised his head and looks at the group
'Oh, it's you guys'
Tatsuya thought and passed out. Ineyo immediately dash towards him and raise him up, surprisingly or not surprisingly he was light, but Ineyo still needed the help of the boys to lift him up
"Katsumichi!!"
Ineyo shouts prompting him to come out from his head and help out.
Soon later that day In Tatsuya room
Tatsuya was on the bed surrounded with his squad members
Ineyo sat on the bed beside Tatsuya all teary as she held his hand
Sakono, Minagawa and Katsumichi sat on the mat on the floor
"Damn he's all dried and messed up"
Katsumichi with a saddend face, even though he had some misunderstanding Tatsuya, Tatsuya's consition was no the one to laugh at
"I hope he gets better..."
"He will get better"
Ineyo cuts Minagawa short of words
Sakono in shock looks at the sad Ineyo and chuckle
"That's right, after all it's Tatsuya we are talking about".
The entire group gained a little confidence and left Tatsuya alone but Ineyo stared back ad company to him.
In a void, the environment was just black or colourless, Tatsuya couldn't differentiate the colour around him, all he did was hover on the space, he opened his eye wide to take a look at the environment and infrint of him was a Figure, it had something like a human figure but yet it made of light, it wad almost as if it was concentrating on something it wad doing. The figure then noticed the presence of someone, then in annoyance
"Hey get the fuck out of here"
It shouted and in that instance the scenary changed
Tatsuya found himself in Mikoto's mansion, with him were Kaori and Yue all sitted opposite each other round the wooden table
"Ara ara, if its isn't Tatsuya kun"
Kaori says
"Yue, Kaori san, how are you guys here?'
Tatsuya says in suprise
"That question should be reversed, Tatsuya sama"
Yue says
"Ehh I don't understand"
Tatsuya leaned on the table
"Tatsuya kun, we want to thank you for what you've done for us, both you and Mikoto kun, you guys have done more than enough for us, we very much appreciate it, words alone can't express our gratitude, but unfortunately we are dead"
Kaori says
"But I can see you, I can hear you but I'm not dead"
"That's right and that's why you need to leave, Tatsuya sama, you have a bright future ahead, make sure you become the strongest"
Yue says, immediately the entire room began to change as though it was spinning rapidly the more it spin the further Yue and Kaoi move
"Yue!!"
Tatsuya shouts, gradually his consciousness began to fade until....
Yue!!!!
Tatsuya jumps from the bed he pants furiously for air, after sometime he regains his act and looks around the room and sees ineyo sleeping on his laps
'Don't tell me she has been here all through the night'
He looks out through the window
'It's almost day break '
After some minutes it was morning, a knock sounded on his door immediately Minagawa opens the door
"Ineyo chan your breakfast is rea...."
Minagawa in shock left the meal on his hand as it drops on the floor
"Ta...ta...Tatsuya!!!"
The shout was so loud enough it woke Ineyo up and alarted Sakono and Katsumichi
"Tatsuya..??"
Ineyo had sleepy eyes
"Sup, Ineyo chan"
Tatsuya says making her to fall in tears and jumps on him hugging him very tightly
"Tatsuya... tatsuya... tatsuya, I though... I know you will come back"
Ineyo cried out, Tatsuya pats her head consoling her
"I can't go that easily"
"Hmmm, I am lying if I said I'm not impressed, welcome back to the land of the living"
Sakono says
"Cold as usual"
Tatsuya chuckles
"Hey, don't go making Ineyo worry over you like that"
Katsumichi says
"Hahaha, is that a way to welcome back an old friend"
Tatsuya laughs
"Friend??? Over my dead body"
Katsumichi face turns red as he left the room
After that the group went for a general breakfast, Ineyo began talking to Tatsuya about how life has been so far for them
"That reminds me, for how long was I gone"
Tatsuya asks
"2 months in prison, 3 months asleep, you have alot to catch up on"
Katsumichi says
"Ohh? That's long"
Tatsuya replies
"But you will be going for lessons todays right??"
Sakono asks
"About that,... I'm not sure, I have to go and check on something first.
"Again with this excuse, you are not going anyway, you have to come with use to the academy"
Sakono says
"Why???, alright someone should go with me"
Tatsuya request
"Hmmmm..."
Sakono began to contemplate and think of the most compatible person in the squad to watch over Tatsuya
"Alright, Ineyo follow Tatsuya and make sure he comes back in one piece"
"Roger that Sakono sama"
Ineyo's eyes glowed in excitement
'Me and Tatsuya kun, alone...'
Ineyo began to turn red and lost in thought that she didn't see Tatsuya moving towards her, Tatsuya pats her shoulder
"Ineyo...."
"No, no, no I'm not going to do anything awful or suspicious.... Huh"
Ineyo entered panic mode
"I just wanted to tell you to look after me"
Tatsuya says
"Humm, yeah I'll do that"
On the way
"Hum, Tatsuya kun, so where are we going to"
Ineyo ask out of curiosity
"To my former home or my place of birth"
Tatsuya say as he smiled
"Ohhh.."
'Since he is joyful, it must be a nice place'
So she thought
After some minutes of walking the two where in front of the Uzui clan Lords House, Ineyo stood there admiring the house while Tatsuya went to the old ban, after some minute she came back to her senses to find out that Tatsuya was not beside her
"Oi why the spacing out? get over here"
Tatsuya calls her to the ban. When she came over inside the ban she finds 5 grave stones on the ground
"Hum, Tatsuya kun what are we doing...."
"Ohhh, I didn't tell you, this is where I grew up"
Unlike Tatsuya the rest of the squad grew up in a well loving house under care of their parents
".... I didn't know"
Ineyo became a little bit down
"You don't want to ask about the stones?"
Tatsuya asks
"I thought it will trigger..."
"They won't trigger any emotions, after all they are the reason I'm still alive, My mother, Yue chan, Kaori, Makita, Yukihara, they are all the reason I'm still alive today"
Tatsuya says as he looked at the grave stones with joy
"Whats with that sad face cheer up"
Tatsuya pinch Ineyo chick
"Ouch."
Ineyo pouts cutely
"Alright for following me I'll treat you to anything you want"
Tatsuya says
"Really???"
Ineyo's eyes glows in excitement
"Really"
"Then what about snacks"
Ineyo asks
"Sure thing let's head over
In a training room, a man with brow spiky hair and Muscular shaped body was training, after rounds and rounds of exercise he decided to take a rest
*knock *knock
"Reporting..."
"Alright go on"
"Target had been confirmed alive"
"Alright good to know, you can go"
"Roger"
'Uzui Tatsuya, what kind human are you?? Well we will get to know "
