"Reporting live! Bonten is back to strike after a month, killing ten men in one week!" the reporter by the screen announced, as behind her, different pictures and videos of evidence flashed up by the screen. Naoto sighed, his hands resting on his lap. Kazutora took one more chip by the bag sitting by his lap, stuffing his mouth while his eyes are glued onto the screen. Chifuyu was by Naoto's desk, using the younger's laptop (with permission) to organize other files and search for more news about Bonten. Baji was taking care of the pet shop, while Takemichi was helping him.
Time check: 12:01 pm, Naoto looked at his watch. He then set down his arm and watched the rest of the news. Kazutora crumpled the plastic bag, then miraculously threw it in the trashcan perfectly.
"What time will the pet shop be closing again?" He looked at Kazutora, whose eyes are still peering onto the screen.
"Around three today," Kazutora answered, leaning back on the couch with his hands in his grey jacket's pockets. He buried his chin by the collar of the jacket. "It's Sunday today."
"Ah, because I have to tell you all something about the situation that made Bonten," Naoto said. Kazutora and Chifuyu stiffened. The man with bleached hair by the front part of his locks gaped at him, while Chifuyu stood up and went towards Naoto, stomping. The man with an undercut sat down by Naoto's right, looking at him intensely.
"Spill."
"No need to be aggressive," Naoto scoffed, then standing up and going to his laptop. He leaned forward, his hand on the black mouse, moving it and clicking on it. He grinned. There, he found it. "Come here, you two."
They didn't hesitate. They stood up in unison and went towards Naoto. Kazutora stood by his left while Chifuyu took the chair by Naoto's right and sat down on it, rolling closer to see the screen. The brown-eyed man stood up straight.
"I found more about Arashi Keizo's death, and also what happened during that time."
"August 14, 2015," Chifuyu read. "In a gym by the depts of Shibuya, a man by the name Arashi Keizo was shot two times by the chest. With him were two injured men, one with the name Imaushi Wakasa had his left leg broken, while one named Akashi Takeomi was hit in the head and unconscious. The police had got all information from the only conscious man present in the scene, using evidence from the CCTVs installed in the gym."
"That was the day and month when I killed Shinichiro-kun," Kazutora muttered, making the two men present to look at him.
"Is that just a coincidence?" Chifuyu held his chin, looking down a bit. "Or maybe not..."
"The date isn't important as of now," Naoto crossed his arms. "Right now, what's important is that the Sano Shinichiro, or known as the 'Feral Dragon' is back to his vicious self."
"Feral...dragon," Chifuyu tried to hold back his laugh, while Kazutora laughed his ass off.
"He really turned feral!"
Naoto tried not to hold back his laugh.

"Shin-chan, you should stop," Wakasa said to him firmly, holding the ravenette's arm, avoiding him to leave. "You're causing harm again."
Shinichiro didn't say anything. In fact, he acted like Wakasa wasn't there. They stood mum for a while, with the blonde with lilac highlights pulling his arm towards him, but the sable dragon still tried his best to get off his grip, still not turning around to glance at him.
"Kitten," Shinichiro deadpanned. "Let go, I have some things to do. You too as well."
"Shinichiro! Just stop!"
The taller male harshened. He has never heard Wakasa call him by his first name. Or probably call his name full.
"You're doing more harm! You said you're going to hunt down the one who killed Benkei, right? Then, why do you do the same?! Killing people wasn't even a choice for you."
He stayed silent for a while, before answering, "I'm not Shinichiro anymore, Waka. I'm not myself anymore, you know that. Just let me be."
Wakasa, with all his force, turned Shinichiro's body around and pulled him closer, wrapping around his corseted waist. The shorter male rests his head on the raven's shoulder, closing his eyes and holding him tighter. Shinichiro's arms were wide open, a few distances away from Wakasa's body.
"You're still there," Wakasa muttered. "I know that. After Takemichi-kun came back. After you were saved. Just please, I beg of you. I'll even strip myself off my pride and name just for you to stop."
"Wakasa," His voice then became soft when he felt the one hugging him stifle a cry. His whole body shook, his arms going tighter around him. The ravenette clicked back to his senses, his dark orbs started to water. He took his arms and wrapped them around Wakasa's upper back, leaning down and kissing the top of his head.
"Please...Benkei wouldn't be happy when he sees you like this..."
Wakasa Imaushi never knew how to cry, after all of what he's been through and after all of what he felt, he couldn't even feel emotion. Ever since he was young, the little boy was groomed to be perfect, especially as the family's oldest. He had a younger sister, whom the little girl looked up to him. But, Wakasa hoped she didn't. But, ever since the day he met Shinichiro, he became vulnerable, he knew how to at least, become a person. He felt emotions and feelings he never encountered, from bliss to sorrow, from vexation to scorn. He was glad that he had met him, with Benkei and Takeomi as well.
And it was such a loss to him when they died. Shinichiro died because of a hit on his head, and Benkei (in every timeline) was shot in the same place. Takeomi either left with no trace or now, be with them (but as sometimes, the enemy).
He felt such blasting emotions when, Sana, his younger sister, died. And he thanked the rest for being there with him.
He probably should visit her grave later.
Shinichiro held him tightly, forgetting what he was about to do, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, kitten. How about we go to our place? Fresh air should be good."
"Yeah," He sniffled, burying his face onto his lover's chest. "We should."
