"Hey Karako?" Ganta says as he puts his drink on the counter. "Hm?" "Well," Ganta starts," You told me Tetsu hasnt ever been defeated, Is he really that strong?" "Nah," Karako shakes her head slightly," You know how he trapped us in his branch of sin?" Ganta nodded. "Well thats what he would do. He would trap them and just sit in the ring till they would call him the winner. The only person he ever had to actually fight was Minatsuki." Karako leaned against the counter as she smiled to herself. "I remember me and him spared one time and her pierced my shoulder on accident. He rushed to my side and helped me patch myself up. He was so upset and was so afraid i would hate him. He acts big and tough but hes a total softy!" Karako laughed.
Tetsu stood up and stretched. He sighed and started towards his door when it opened causing him to stop in his tracks. "Ah Tetsu you're here, I was looking for you." Nagi said as he stood in the doorway. "Uh, hey Nagi….Whats up?" Tesu asked as he rubbed the back of his neck with a nervous grin on his face. "Well," Nagi said as he sat on Tetsus bed," Ever since we got you back for the Undertakers you have been…..distant. You're not acting like you. We are worried." 'Damn it Tetsu! Why do you still care for them? They are nothing but little birdies and you're gonna have fun clipping their wings!' Tetsu thought as he put on his best smile. "I do Nagi, but its just kinda hard readjusting, ya know?" Nagi smiled slightly and stood up. "See you at base tomorrow, get some rest." said Nagi.
Tetsu walked into Undertaker headquarters. Hibana looked up and smiled as she ran and hugged his waist. "Hi big brother Tetsu!" She smiled up at him. "Hey 'Bana! Ready to go play with some birdies tomorrow?" Hibana nodded her little head as fast as she could. Tetsu laughed as Hibana grabbed his arm and dragged him over to show him all her crayon drawings. "Big brother?" "Hm?" Hibana cocked her head to the side. "You're starting to feel for the birds again...arent you?" Tetsu was taken aback by this. "You sounded kinda sad about attacking them." Tetsu looked at the ground. 'Am i really starting to care about them?' He thought. "I used to hate you because you're a bird...But you're the best big brother ever! And if one bird isnt bad then the other birds she smiled up at him,"So if big brother wants to protect them so will i!" she declared. "But…Why?" Tetsu asked. "Because you love me and play with me and take care of me. No one else does…..They just see me as someone to fear and a monster. But Hibana isnt a monster. Im a lady. And you're the only person who treats me like a lady." Tetsu smiled. "Are ya sure you'd want to help me protect them if i chose too?" Hibana nodded.
Nagi laughed as Shiro and Ganta bickered in front of him. "Hey Nag, are you sure Tets is comin today? You talked to him yesterday right?" Karako inquired. He nodded."Yes, just give him time." Karako crossed her arms and pouted impatiently. "Heeeellooooo cocksuckers!" Genkaku sang out. He leaned against the doorway and laughed. "Thought you could have a party without us? Well, isnt that just rude. I think its time you learned your manners! Isnt that right guys?" "They are naughty! They should be punished!" Hibana said. She turned to the door," Right big brother?" "Absolutely Hibana! Now lets have some fun clipping these naughty birdies wings!" Tetsu said with a sadistic smile on his face. Scar Chain stared shocked. They couldnt believe Tetsu was still with them. Genkaku raised his guitar gun and aimed at Karako. "Ready to die bitch?" Tetsu crossed his arms and watched the guitar gun. Just as Genkaku was about to squeeze the trigger Tetsu yelled, "Now Hibana!" Hibana swung her sword at Genkakus weapon, slicing it in two. He turned to his so called subordinates with a look of shock. Hibana giggled. "Sorry Genny, but me and big brother arent gonna let you hurt them." Tesu smiled a goofy smile. "Though thanks for the training. I now have no problem killing insignificant worms like you. Now, Why dont you leave, because you're in a room full of birds. And birds EAT worms like you." "Tch!" Genkaku snorted. "You forget im not alone!" He laughed. Hibana giggled as Tetsu point lazily into the hallway. "Are you sure 'bout that?" Genkakus eyes widened as he looked into the hall. all 12 men were dead. "Now," Tesu said, pulling Genkakus attention to him," You have a choice. Leave my friends alone or," he pause as he surrounded himself with spiked blood pillars," heh, you know." Genkaku backed out of the door. "Tch! Like you're worth my time!" he said as he walked away. Tetsu looked over at Hibana. "Good job 'Bana!" "Tetsu? What just happened?" asked Ohara. Tetsu smiled a goofy smile. "Easy, me and Hibana here just betrayed the Undertakers. But not till after getting supplies." "Suppli-" Started Karako when Hibana opened the puppy bag she normally carried her sword in. Out fell medical supplies, Hibanas school books, and documents.
"We have some weapons and shit we took in my room." Tetsu smiled. "Besides did you really think after the way you guys cared for me the past week and a half since our fight id betray you?
Kinda insulted here fellas." Karako walked over to Tetsu and hugged him. "Im glad you're on our side. Nagi stood next to her and put his hand on Tetsus shoulder. "As am i." He kneeled down to meet Hibanas eye level. "And who is this?" He said with a smile. Hibana held Tetsus hand. "Thats Hibana. Shes-" "Im Tetsu little sister!" She said with a wide grin. "Who are you mister?" Nagi smiled. "Im Nagi. Pleasure to meet you little one."
Tetsu laid in his bed. He had made a mat fo himself on the floor but Hibana asked him to sleep with her. In the Undertaker base Hibana was able to keep the light on all night, but now that she was in deadman territory she wasnt able to do that. She was frightened. Tetsu had a billion thoughts running through his head when he felt Hibana shake next to him. From the expression on her face she seemed to be having a nightmare. He held her close and started humming to her. She relaxed with a slight smile on her face. He smiled and slowly closed his eyes, falling asleep.
