"That could have gone better..." Said Peko.
The Peko and Fuyuhiko walked out of a now burning warehouse together. They had went there for a meeting with an informant who claimed to have information on rival gangs. But it turned out to be a trap set up to kill the young yakuza. Thankfully Peko's sword skills saved Fuyuhiko from an early death.
"BASTARD!" Said Fuyuhiko. "He lured us into a trap!"
"Well he's burning alive now." Said Peko. "He got what he deserved."
Fuyuhiko noticed blood trickling down Peko's arm.
"Your bleeding."
Peko looked at the wound.
"So I am..."
Fuyuhiko sighed and took a phone out of his pocket.
"I'll call Mikam and tell her we're on our way." Said Fuyuhiko.
"Its just a scratch, theres no need to-"
The swords woman was cut off by a loud gunshot, her eyes widened and she remained in place.
"Peko!?"
Peko lurched forward and coughed up a small amount of blood.
"Young...mas...ter..."
Peko fell over onto her stomach, a bullet wound could be seen on her back.
"PEKO!"
Fuyuhiko looked at the source of the gunshot. A man, his skin and clothing burnt by flames stood nearby holding a smoking gun. It was their "informant".
"Gotcha..." Muttered the man.
The young yakuza immediately pulled out a handgun from his jacket and took aim.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKER!"
Fuyuhiko unloaded every shot in his magazine into the fake informant, killing him.
"PEKO!"
Fuyuhiko quickly rushed over to Peko and tried to help her up,
"Peko!? Answer me Peko!?"
Tears started to fall down Fuhiko's cheeks.
"PEKO!"
The bullet had just barely missed her heart. Even the Kuzaryu clan's best doctors could not do anything.
So he brought his own.
Mikan tended to Peko whatever she had to do.
"Damn it..." Muttered Fuyuhiko. He was the only person in the hospital's lounge.
"Hey Fuyuhiko..."
Fuyuhiko noticed Hinata approaching him.
"I heard what happened..." Said Hinata. "I'm sorry..."
"Don't apologize, your not the one who shot her." Said Fuyuhiko.
The young yakuza let out a sigh.
"First my sister now Peko..." Muttered Fuyuhiko.
"She could pull through." Said Hinata.
"Speaking of that..."
Fuyuhiko got up.
"Mikan probably has an update on Peko's condition." Said Fuyuhiko. "Better check."
"I'll go with you." Said Hinata.
Fuyuhiko smiled and led Hinata down the hall.
Once they reached Peko's room, they were greeted by the sight of Ibuki about to strum her guitar next to an unconscious Peko and Mikan, who was hiding in the corner of the room.
"The hell are you doing?!" Asked Fuyuhiko.
"Well Ibuki thought she would wake Peko up with the healing power of music!" Said Ibuki.
"Healing power of music my ass! Get the fuck out!"
Ibuki sighed.
"Everyones a critic..."
Ibuki left the room. As soon as the door closed, Mikan approached Fuyuhiko.
"Anything new?" Asked Fuyuhiko.
"No." Replied Mikan. "Shes still out cold, and shes barely holding on."
"I see...thanks..."
Fuyuhiko took a seat next to Peko's bed.
"Coukd I be alone with her for awhile?" Asked Fuyuhiko.
Mikan nodded and led Hinata out of the room, following him out.
"Hey..." Said Fuyuhiko. "You...you better wake up soon..."
Fuyuhiko looked around the room.
"I mean its your job and everything so you have to wake up..."
Tears started falling from Fuyuhiko's eyes.
"You have to...I-Its an order..."
Fuyuhiko buried his face in Peko's chest and continued to sob.
"Don't leave me Peko! Y-Your my best friend... M-my partner in crime...literally!"
Fuyuhiko slammed his hand on the hospital bed.
"Don't fucking die on me!"
He remained like this for several minutes.
"I'm sorry..." Sobbed Fuyuhiko. "I-It was my idea t-to go to the d-damn informant in the f-first place!"
"You don't have to apologize."
Fuyuhiko's head shot up. Peko was looking at him.
"P-Peko! Your alive!"
"Thats what it looks like." Said Peko.
Fuyuhiko could not hold back any longer. He wrapped the swordswoman into a tight hug.
"Young master?!"
"Peko don't ever scare me like that again." Sobbed Fuyuhiko.
Peko smiled and returned the hug.
"Of course young master..."
Little did they know, Hinata and Mikan were watching from a crack in the door.
"Thats so sweet..." Said Mikan.
"Yeah." Replied Hinata.
Hinata closed the door.
"Lets leave them be." Said Hinata. "Fuyuhiko will probably order our deaths if we saw him acting like this."
Mikan nodded and the two left Fuyuhiko and Peko to their tearful reunion.
