It was a normal day in Yokohama. However, for the ADA, it was a bit slow…until…
"Oi! We've got a case!" Kunikida shouts.
Atsushi, Dazai, and Ranpo look at the client. He had longish blonde hair and purple eyes, with an air of a noble. He instantly attracted the attention of all the females in the vicinity.
"I need help finding my friend," he explains, "He got kidnapped in Koyomi City, and got taken to Yokohama."
"Sounds like human traffickers. A nasty bunch," Kunikida comments as his glasses flashing.
"Since I don't know this city very well, I need someone to guide me," he says.
"Eh? You plan on taking care of them yourself?" Atsushi asks, a bit surprised at the man.
He smiles, "It won't be a problem for me. Don't worry. I just need a guide."
"Are you and your friend Ability users?" Dazai asks.
"Hm... In a sense."
"?" is what everyone was going to say, a questioning look in their eyes.
He chuckles, "Let's just say that our powers are a bit different from yours."
"Hm~... Interesting," Dazai smiles, already interested in who this man really is, "We'll help you...Mr?"
"Hayakawa."
"Hayakawa-san. We'll help you find your friend in no time."
Dazai and Hayakawa shake hands, sealing the deal.
A while later… Dazai, Atsushi, and Hayakawa are surrounded by thugs.
As Hayakawa activates his power, Dazai touches him…but the green aura wrapping Hayakawa-san's body didn't dissipate.
"Just what...?" For Dazai, it wasn't the first time his Ability didn't work, but he was still stunned, 'My ability didn't cancel it out?'
Hayakawa-san just smiles, his body wrapped in a green aura as he prepares to fight, chuckling as he asks, "If I told you it was magic, would you believe me?"
Then, at an intense speed like the wind, all the thugs were on the ground, unconscious, with Hayakawa-san the only one left standing.
Meanwhile…
Chuuya was in-between jobs when he spotted something. A gang of thugs and… a boy with black hair and yellow eyes tied up. He was dress in fancy clothes, so he looked to be a rich kid. The kid looked at him pleadingly, like a cat begging for food. After seeing that look, he couldn't just stand by and watch anymore. "Hey!"
"Crap! It's Chuuya!"
"Some greeting..." He comments before kicking their asses and untying the kid.
"Thank you..." He says.
"Don't thank me yet kid," Chuuya says as more the reinforcements come.
As Chuuya took them down, he sees the kid holding his own in the fight.
"Huh... Nice moves," Chuuya comments as he kicks a thug to the ground.
"Thanks... You have some nice moves too," he says as he punches a guy before kicking him.
After the fight was over, all the thugs were unconscious.
"Hey, kid?" Chuuya calls as he sees the kid panting, trying to catch his breath.
"Hm?"
"You're not from around here, are you?" Chuuya asks.
"No...and," *growl* goes his stomach.
Chuuya chuckles, "Let's get you something to eat, and then we'll talk."
"That's OK, really," he tries to deny, a slight blush on his face, but his stomach says otherwise, *growls*.
"Don't worry about it. It's my treat," Chuuya assures with a smile.
"... Ok," the kid relents since he's hungry.
Chuuya walks to his bike while the kid follows him.
"You ever been on a motorbike before?" he asks.
"No," the kid shakes his head.
Chuuya smiles, "Well, today's your lucky day. Climb on." Chuuya gets on the bike as the kid gets on behind him. After giving the kid a helmet and helping him put it on, Chuuya revs up the bike. "Hold on tight!" Chuuya warns before he speeds off, the kid holding onto his waist for dear life.
Later… at a restaurant.
After ordering a meal, Chuuya asks, "Now then... You gonna tell me your name, and what you're doing here in Yokohama?"
"You can call me J," he says after he slipped his water, "As for what happened... Well, in a nutshell, I got kidnapped, and you rescued me."
"Where're you from exactly?"
"Koyomi City."
"Damn... That's pretty far from here," Chuuya swears before offering, "Look J, I'll do what I can to help you get home, alright?"
"I'd appreciate that, Chuuya-san. Right now, my friend is probably freaking out and looking for me. He's probably already made it to Yokohama though, knowing him."
This caught Chuuya's attention, "First off, don't call me Chuuya-san. Call me Chuuya. Second, what sort of guy is this friend of yours to track you down and come get you so fast?"
"He's stronger than me, for one thing," J sighs, "Another thing is that he's the type to hold his own vows over everything else, and that includes his vow to protect me."
"Really? Sounds like a pain in the ass," Chuuya scoffs, bluntly saying that.
"I couldn't agree more," J smiles in agreement.
"Still... Between you and him, who's stronger?" Chuuya couldn't help asking.
"... We're both adept at using knives, or sharp objects. We're about equal in terms of speed, but strength-wise, he's stronger."
"Hou?"
"Yeah... He's the one who taught me how to fight, after all."
Chuuya was impressed. J was good, but this friend of his…might be worth fighting.
"What's your friend's name?"
"His name is Hayakawa-san, Chuuya."
Later…
"Is he your friend?" Chuuya asks as he sees the blonde J was looking at.
"Yeah…" J nods, confirming that it was indeed Hayakawa-san.
"Would he mind a round?" He asks, a bit raring to go.
J shrugs, "Probably not."
Then, J watches as Chuuya sparred with Hayakawa-san.
"Would you kill to protect someone?" Dazai abruptly asks.
"... Maybe...if there was no other choice but to... But, I hope I won't have to," Hayakawa answers.
When Chuuya asked J the same question…
"No...and, I hope I won't have to," is J's reply.
The thugs were back, yelling about claiming back their stolen property.
"Oi, J! You fine with me killing these bastards?" Chuuya asks, hitting his fist into his palm.
J, who was being called 'property,' replies, "... Yeah. Show them no mercy."
"Good," Chuuya smirks as he attacks head-on, easily beating them down in seconds.
When Hayakawa and J see each other again…
"J!"
"Hayakawa-san!"
They hug as Hayakawa smiles and scolds, "I'm so glad you're safe. Never worry me like that again."
"Ok ok," J smiles.
"Thank you," Hayakawa bows to Chuuya.
"You're welcome. Just keep a better eye on the kid, OK?" Chuuya scoffs.
"I will."
Hayakawa and J head out together, and on their way back home.
"Chuuya..." Dazai says from around a corner as he was watching the whole thing.
"What?" Chuuya glares.
"Thanks for your help today," Dazai sincerely smiles.
"Tch. No need, Mackerel," he says as Chuuya went off to his next job. He may have to visit Koyomi City soon to see J and Hayakawa again.
Omake:
When Chuuya does visit…
"Best coffee ever," is all he says as he sips the coffee Hayakawa made as J just watches, shaking his head. Hayakawa…was happily smiling at his new friend and occasional sparring partner.
