His Intentions.

Yuno sits across from Tachibana carrying Tori.

The male just rolls his eyes noticing her angry expression. He drops a file in front her and she looks the papers over.

"You'll be getting into Med school from the start of the new year. Hitori will be under my care during that period, as well as Kai."

Yuno stares in disbelief. He's not giving her a choice in the matter, everything is already paid for and that includes the college and accommodation. "What's in it for you? And why?"

"Honestly I'm offended you'd even assume I'm in this for profit. Well, partly, but that's a story for another day.

"I don't want anything from you. I just want you to help people with your power. If you can bring an old man like Ryujin to life you can surely do more for others".

He takes a seat and writes a time and place on a sticky note. "Tomorrow be here."

He taps on the note giving Yuno a serious look, "You'll see what I'm working on. You'll see what my intentions are, and what your role in my grand scheme is."

They lock eyes for a moment and their stares linger a moment longer. After breaking eye contact Tachibana turns to Tori when he suddenly snaps out of whatever had him snared. "I'm going to borrow him for another week."

Yuno cuddles her Bobo tighter and gives him the warmest hug she could muster. The only reason she's agreeing to this is to work on his separation anxiety if it wasn't for that Tachibana would've gotten a straight No! and a kick to the shins.

"Fine, but I'm spending time with my Bobo today. I'm suffering from separation anxiety too." Yuno's eyes suddenly land on Tachibana with an expression of deep thought on her face.

Her eyes follow the trail to the college papers she was almost forgetting on the table, "Can you make it a habit to call and tell me how he's doing? If you don't, I'll call the police and have you arrested for kidnapping.

"This verbal agreement holds no weight, plus you've got a lot of officials wanting to have your head after that announcement.

"If I cry assaulter you can bet your ass someone here is getting paid a huge lump sum to play false witness, and Kaminari will finally have you out of his way."

Tachibana chuckles in his seat, "Miss Lin, are you threatening me?"

"Not at all, I'm warning you. Just take it as a friendly reminder because I don't think you understand the game you're playing and you getting my family involved is out of the question.

"I don't care what you're working on and how many people will benefit when your big plan goes well because when it all goes to shit my family will get caught in a cross fire, and I won't allow it.

"Everyone knows you politicians are just a bunch of over paid assassins."

Ken sighs, "You're not wrong, but this is a matter of trust Miss Lin I'll need you to trust me.

"Whether you like it or not the dark side of us politicians is going to come out and I won't lie to you sweetheart, I'm no angel, there's nothing I won't do for my end goal.

"Part of achieving that goal is forcing certain people to fall off their pedestals. I don't see them coming down quietly."

Yuno clenches her teeth and stays quiet. She trusts him but not to the extent he wants. She's not built like a soldier to give unquestionable loyalty life taught her to be sceptic of everything and everyone around her. 

"Fine, I'll see your little project tomorrow and from there I'll decide if your little game is worth the risk. I hate the school you picked. I want one closer to home where I can check on Kai and Bobo whenever I want."

"Very bold of you, but no, you will not be debating me over this matter and if I gave you the impression that you had the option not to come tomorrow, I apologise, I would never waste valuable ink and energy scribbling on a sticky note.

"That school is the best med school in the world as far as I'm concerned, so don't waste your chance a lot of people are doing unimaginable things to get this opportunity you're being given.

"This is a chance for you to give your family a shot and Hitori has a better chance with me no one will question his ability as long as he's with me."

"What is it? That it would worry you so much."

"Absolute Zero. Now could you give him back."

Yuno stares in disbelief and hugs Tori tighter.

Tachibana walks over to Yuno's side and holds out his hands to Tori who happily jumps away from Yuno, "I think we've solved that issue, see you at 8 AM Miss Lin.

"Oh, I forgot to mention that you're fired and you will be having some one on one lessons with Ackerman to refresh your memory on all the things you learned in high school."

He walks away carrying Hitori smiling for his flawless victory while Yuno is starting to hate the man.

In the morning she stops by her old house and picks up Kai because she didn't want to be alone where she's going.

"Don't you have friends?" Kai isn't asking to be rude he just thinks it's sad that she's asking her brother to tag along instead of her own friends.

"I do, but in the adult world buddy people are working at this time."

She stops outside the huge office building and takes the elevator to Tachibana's office.

The door to his office opens and Kai runs straight for the window standing with his hands behind his back pretending to be the richest man alive looking down at the world from his top view office.

"This is so cool!" He exclaims excited and Tachibana nods in agreement before handing over Tori to Yuno. He was just being spiteful yesterday, but he'd never admit it to her face.

"Right, follow me."

They go back to the ground floor and get in a car driving to his construction site.

The cause of the damage here was due to two gangs made up of Supers having a street fight that went sour, and left buildings in ruins. The casualties were too many to count.

There are tons of people standing in a long line filling papers and having their blood samples taken.

"Over there is the ability registrations counter, and over there is where everyone who's already been registered will go." Tachibana walks a little further into the loud chaos.

Yuno notices a bunch of people flying from place to place and a few using their hands to direct objects.

"We won't be going in there since none of you are electric types, but that's where those with electric related abilities are.

"In just a week we managed to rebuild this whole place. Citizens will be moved to this side of town so we can work on the other side and repair our city. Which is also why I was looking for Setsuno high and low."

He walks towards an open field and Setsuno is making the small seeds grow in an instant, "He will be joining you at your college, but he will be studying Agriculture.

"There are a few people like him too that I've been looking for, but this city is a reflection of what my end goal is."

Yuno looks around and everyone here has some kind of ability and they are rebuilding the city, "What exactly is your goal Tachibana and where do I fit in all this?"

"I want to build a world where seeing all this is just normal and natural. People like you and Setsuno can help those who can't help themselves.

"Do you know how many people we can feed with all the crops we make in a day? Hundreds. How many tragic accidents like the destruction of all those cities can be avoided if people can work like this?

"My goal is to rebuild Japan and make it a safer place, less chaotic and less violent. I hate it when I see people living on edge worried and panicked.

"All those kinds of stressful conditions can be avoided if we give the next generation a proper foundation to build upon.

"I can acknowledge that I won't fix this country in a day, but I'm confident I'm starting something that someone else will pass on to the next and keep improving and growing."

Kai stares at Tachibana inspired. he's never thought about the things he thinks about. He's always seen that the world is unfair, but doing something about it has never crossed his mind, but that's exactly what he wants to do.

He wants to be just like Tachibana and take on the world to help those who need it even if they didn't ask for it.

He had lost all hope in people, but here before him is a man who's helping people and expects nothing in return, he's just happy with his decision to do the right thing.

"Where you come into this Miss Lin I think it's obvious. I want you to have your own hospital where you get to use your ability the way you like and save lives.

"I don't think you understand that by saving Ryujin you saved all those people relying on his companies and corporations for survival. All I want to do is help you on your journey nothing else."
