That was only what [Y/n] could see around her surroundings while she sees her arms, as a matter of fact entire body somewhat emitting a glow, as if she's the only thing that's serving as a light in the dark place.

The female turned around to scan her surroundings and what caught her eyes was a small figure from a few meters away, to where she stood.

It was a little girl. She looked like her during her childhood days, and she was also emitting the same brightness like her.

the child sighed.

She paused as her small lips curved into a gentle smirk.

[Y/n] opened her mouth to ask a question but nothing came out as she felt her body being suddenly pulled away, and she could only see the little girl waving her hand as her figure got even more smaller the more she went further.

A deep breath was what the [h/c] teen did the moment she opened her eyes to put some air in her lungs.

"I know..." she mumbled, still taking deep breaths. "I know how to reach...and speak with you again.."

"Big sis..." Akio shakily said while weeping beside her lying figure. "...Yeah." [Y/n] responds after snapping out of it while slowly sitting up in the process.

"Tch. Not only are you fuckin' weak, you also can't damn swim." Muttered Taiju as he brushed back his damped hair using his hand whilst droplets of water continues to drip down on both his body and hair.

"You're downright pathetic." He scoffed with a scowl on his face then walked away, exiting the room while Yuzuha and Hakkai comes running in.

"We have the car re– [Y/n]!" Shouted the brown haired girl. "You're alright, thank goodness!"

Hakkai silently wraps a towel around said female's figure while Akio hugs his sister now, not minding if his clothes would get wet in the process.

The child was still crying that snot was slowly dripping down his nose but he kept sniffling it back in.

"Sorry for worrying everyone...again." [Y/n] said with a sheepish smile. "I keep doing that, huh?" She chuckled lightly.

"But I'm alright." She assured them in a soft voice, specially her little brother.

Yuzuha lets out a small sigh. She and Hakkai could still notice their friend's little trembling of their body yet she's still trying to keep a strong front for the sake of her little brother, Akio.

Yuzuha stands stands up from her kneeling position just like Hakkai's. "Let's get you changed into some dry clothes." She said. "It hasn't been that long since you had a cold after all."

"...Alright." [Y/n] replied with a slow nod of her head after pondering about something for a second. "And after that, we'll be on our way." Both Shiba siblings glanced at each other.

"I don't wanna cause another scene and make you guys worry any more." The girl sighed. "It's getting embarrassing at this point." She adds with a little chuckle and a smile.

"Don't say it's embarrassing." Yuzuha remarked. "You gave us a fright, almost a heart attack even." She huffed while [Y/n] tries to stand up despite still feeling her legs weak as a matter of fact, her entire body feels exhausted, drained but chooses not to complain or say anything to her friends.

Hakkai gently lifted the female after feeling his sister's nudge and eyes telling that he should help or do something instead of just remaining quiet and standing there.

[Y/n] of course was startled a little that a small a squeak came out of her lips. "You'll get..." she spoke in a soft tone but stopped when the tall boy glanced at her.

"Doesn't matter." He muttered as Yuzuha opens the door with Akio standing beside her, holding her other hand.

"Are you sure you don't wanna stay for the night?" Yuzuha asked, concern evident in her tone and expression as [Y/n] dries her hair with the new towel Hakka gave her.

"Yeah, don't worry." She replied with a little smile on her face. "And besides, if we do stay for the night I'm afraid that I might attack Taiju if he says another word to me."

The brown haired girl chuckled a little when she saw her friend beam a smile. "So it'd be best for all of us if we just go back home and rest there instead." [Y/n] continues.

"And since he did saved me, I'm letting it slide." She huffed before putting a pretty smile on her face again when saw a drawing of Hakkai that was drawn by Luna on Yuzuha's wall.

Both girls laughed a little before leaving said girl's room and going downstairs, seeing Akio in Hakkai's clothes that he once wore when he was the same age as the boy.

"Big sis!" The kid ran towards his sister with a huge smile on his face. "You're okay, right? No need to go the hospital?" He asked while staring at the female's eyes with his big and innocent ones.

"Yep!" [Y/n] beamed then ruffled Akio's hair. "Go put your shoes on, kid." She told him which the boy saluted his hand and went to do what he was told.

"Thanks for everything." She smiled. "I'll return your clothes back once I've washed them, Yuzuha."

Said girl shakes her head. "There's no need to." She said. "You can have it since I don't wear it that much anyways."

"Oh, well thanks!" [Y/n] puts on her shoes quickly while Yuzuha went towards the door and twist its doorknob, opening it. "We'll be on our way then."

Hakkai opens his mouth after contemplating about something in his mind but the loud sound of a motor engine beat him up to it.

"You're slow." Taiju huffed with a frown on his face as he was the one responsible for the loud motor sounds. "Hurry up and hop on."

"What..." [Y/n] trailed while blinking her eyes with a look of disbelief in her face just like her two friends behind her.

"I said get your ass on the bike." The huge man repeats, obviously impatient.

"So you'll be taking us home..?" The female asked, still in disbelief but is quite suspicious at the same time.

Taiju raised a brow. "What else?" He replied which leads to [Y/n] mentally questioning herself about the man's out of character.

"Who are you?" She blurts out and Taiju could only give her a quizzical stare. "Just hop on already, woman."

Without saying another word, the female lifts Akio up and before she could put him to where he was supposed to sit, in the middle of her and Taiju, the said man swipes the boy away from her hands and puts him in front.

"Ya better hold on tight because I'm not taking responsibility if you ever fly away." Taiju states with a little 'hmph' while he feels [Y/n] getting on the bike this time after he saw Akio nod his head with determined eyes.

"I'll see you both later then." She told her two friends that was standing outside of their doorway.

Yuzuha nods her head. "Yeah." She replied with a subtle smile and Hakkai begrudgingly follows her older sister's action.

"Bye bye!" Akio cheerfully bids them too then after that, Taiju twists the throttle of his bike which caused it to move in speed.

"...He's such an unpredictable guy when [Y/n]-chan's here." Hakkai blurts out with a huff while Yuzuha nods her head then smirks.

"So that's the first thing you'd say?" She teased before walking back inside their house and leaving his red faced brother outside.

"I'm not jealous!" Hakkai shouts while stomping his feet on the way inside. "But you look like you do!"

Yuzuha glares at her brother. "No one's jealous, and if there is that'd be you."

"I told you I'm not!"

"Yeah, keep convincing yourself."

Taiju, [Y/n] and Akio's side.

"You owe me." The blue haired man says with a smirk on his face as he puts down the sleeping Akio on his bed when they reached said boy's room.

"Yeah, I know." [Y/n] muttered while they both leave the room and when they did so, she found herself being pinned on the wall as Taiju's tall figure towers over hers.

She frowned. "What the he–" her words were cut off when the male in front of her leaned his face a bit close to hers.

"So, how will you repay me from saving your stupid life?" Taiju asked with taunting eyes. "With your body?"

"You may have saved me but I won't tolerate this sh–" The sound of the doorbell ringing cut her off and only her head turned as the person in front of her continued to focus his gaze at her.

"Move." [Y/n] said with no expression on her face but she looked at Taiju with a cold gaze which really irked him for some reason, and the female could clearly see that yet she still stood her ground without an ounce of fear showing on her face.

The tall man scoffed. "What're you gonna do if–" he stopped when he felt something poke his stomach then the next he heard some loud electric sound.

A stun gun.

"That's a warning." The [h/c] said coldly as Taiju's eyes widened for a moment. "Don't act so buddy buddy with me just because you saved my life."

Taiju smirked. "Well, it's nice to know that you're still the same feisty woman." He chuckled and kicked the door to her room since it was opened a little but not too strong.

"Hey!" [Y/n] shouts while another ring of the doorbell rang at the same time. "You like the bear?" He asked with a stupid grin on his face making the female frown and push him out of her room.

"You don't just enter a girl's goddamn room like that!" She scolds him. "Do you like the bear?" He asked again.

[Y/n] glared at him before walking away to open the door and see who was the unexpected visitor with a tall and muscular man following behind her.

"It's a nice bear, of course I like it." She finally answered after a few seconds. "What's it go– Oh, so it...how much are you gonna surprise me for today?"

Taiju lets out a small huff. "Don't let it get to your head." He said. "Whatever. I'm leaving." He opened the door, revealing a boy with blonde hair and glasses.

They both looked at each other but the taller one looked at the shorter one quite coldly which made him to avert his gaze.

"Kisaki?" [Y/n] muttered under her breath with a dumbfounded look on her face.

Said boy nods his head. "Yo." He casually greets while Taiju passes him, almost bumping his shorter figure.

"I really hate that guy." Kisaki muttered with a frown as both he and [Y/n] watch the blue haired mount his bike and start its engine.

"Think of a way to repay me," he said with a grin on his face. "Using your body." With that said, Taiju leaves as the roar of his engine was the last thing both teens heard.

"It's not what you think." The female instantly said when she received a weird look from the blonde guy.

"So..." [Y/n] starts while putting a cup of warm tea on the table in front of Kisaki. "What brings you here?"

"Nothing just came to check up on you since it's been a while." He replied. "And just wanna tell you that I'm finally in Toman."
