Chapter:

Hiro came back to the practice room after he was finished in the restroom. He picked up the fighting stick again and grinned at Mulan, "Ready?" When the girl looked hesitant he tilted his head, "What's wrong?"

Mulan smiled a little and said, "I'm just worried about you is all. Do you think it's okay for you to train?" She picked up her own fighting stick as she awaited his answer.

"Yeah. I'll be fine..." Hiro ducked when she swung the rod at him and he laughed.

"Keep on your toes, old man," Mulan teased as she jumped over his stick. Hiro usually tried to take her legs out first. They sparred for a good thirty minutes before they stopped.

Mulan went and got them each a bottle of water while Hiro got gummybears. He never stopped his love for gummybears. Mulan sat down on the ground and was eating the pack Hiro had given her. She asked carefully, "How often does Lapis try and take over?"

Hiro hesitated before admitting, "At least twice a day. Sometimes more often. Once she did it while I was sleeping, that was terrible. She hasn't done it since. But I did end up in the hospital."

"Does Tadashi know?" Mulan asked, pausing when she asked before taking a sip of water.

"Not about the hospital. Although I suppose he will when he reviews the security tapes," Hiro commented as he ate a couple gummy bears.

Mulan considered this and then ate a couple more gummy bears. She glanced up at Hiro from her seat and tilted her head, "How have you been doing? Honestly?"

Hiro hung his head a little and said, "I've been tired. I wake up at unusual hours now. I try and tire myself out so that way I can go to sleep all night long. I miss my wife."

Mulan nodded slightly and pulled her knees to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. She was ready to listen to anything he wanted to tell her. Mulan prompted him to talk again, "What do you miss most about Honey Lemon?"

"Her dependability. Her honesty and gentleness. The fact she was always there. It seems odd that I've outlived her. Especially since I should have been dead when I was 14. I shouldn't have outlived anyone," Hiro replied as he rubbed a hand through his hair, "And now the saving grace has become my worst nightmare."

Mulan nodded quietly and thought it over before saying, "I never thought about how Immortality would effect people. I always thought it would be a mercy. But when you outlive people...it must be torture."

"I've considered ending it all before."

You have the chance to do that now

Lapis, stop it!

Mulan saw the change and said sternly, "Lapis, stop. You need to leave Hiro alone."
