Sorry for not updating in like a month, I've been busy with things, hope you all understand. Well maybe, it's a lame excuse. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

The previous chatter that was at our table was now replaced with a rather awkward silence. Well almost. Noda, who had been drinking water at the time was now sputtering and coughing, causing the only noise to be heard. I could see his face heat up as he realized that he was the only person making noise, as his coughs ceased to a silence like everyone else.

Yurippe sighed, closing her eyes, leaning back in her chair. "I guess I should explain then..." she said, sighing again, opening her eyes and turning her attention to all of us now. "You see, Hinata, it honestly wasn't that long ago, it wasn't that far away, either. Just about an hour away from here, probably." She paused, thinking a bit. "Now that I think about it, I can't remember how long ago it was. Anyway, me and my partner were on a rather small mission, cause we work for the Special Assault Team (SAT). It wasn't that big of a deal, honestly. We were just going to an office building, gunshots were reported and we were to arrive until more of our squad arrived.

"We were reported to clear the floors bottom to top. It was a rather huge surprise, since the SAT honestly wasn't used that often, and it was mainly just handled by the local police. Anyway, while we were clearing, we had heard some gunshots, and as we had started to walk towards them, we had found out that there was a rather large group of them rather than just one or two, it turned out that there were at least five. Anyway, that's how I got this." She finished, lifting up the corner of her shirt, revealing a rather large pad, which anyone could guess was covering up her wound. That wasn't all, she had also rolled up her left sleeve, revealing another shot wound.

I looked over at Hinata, who was wincing at it slightly, I could tell he was feeling pretty guilty for asking just by looking at him. Though on the other hand, Yui and Noda were looking in rather amazement along with Ooyama, Kanade had still kept her expressionless features. I was surprised at the sheer amount of bravery Yurippe truly had. Though I already knew she was so brave, carrying on with her past life without her siblings, I honestly wan't surprised, but yet, it would appear I was.

"So when will you be going back?" Noda asked, trying not to be rude in any way.

"That's the thing, I'm pretty upset about it. I won't be returning until at least another month." She sighed again, defeat covering her features. "At least we caught those bastards, though." She smiled to herself, part sad, but you could tell she was trying hard to be optimistic.

Kanade had chimed in this time. "Yurippe, I wouldn't worry about it, it will come before you know it, you deserve the rest. After all, you had saved those people and got rid of the criminals. Nobody could ask for more from you, for you are brave not by choice, but rather personality. You saved those lives." She smiled Kindly at Yurippe.

Yurippe on the other hand, looked like she wanted to cry. "Thank you, Kanade" She smiled back brightly, her eyes shining with tears about to fall and happiness that had taken over.

Ooyama was the one that was really crying from the recent scene, and Hinata had went to go get him some napkins.

Noda was still staring at Yurippe in amazement, smiling some, but when he caught me laughing, he gave me a death glare, which silenced me.

Yui had just finished eating, as hinata had returned, handing the napkins to Ooyama, who was still crying his eyes out. "I'll never be as brave at Yurippe, she's so cool!" I could hear him sob more into the napkins, smiling at how emotional he was. Maybe one day he would find somebody like him, who was on that level of emotion.

"Don't worry about it, kiddo." said Hinata, smiling at him. "You already are cool." Ooyama smiled some at this, still crying

"Please don't tell anyone that I cried" Ooyama said, sounding worried just at the thought of it.

"Sure thing, I promise"

"I can't guarantee that," Yui muttered over her glass of water.

Ooyama's expression turned into one of horror. "you wouldn't" he said, his voice cracking slightly.

Yui smirked "How can you be so sure, Ooyama?"

I've seen Yui, but this was just plain mean, how could she do this right after he finished crying.

Yurippe had noticed this and sent her a threatening glare.

Yui had now backed down, afraid of Yurippe. "Jeez, I was just joking." she muttered

"It's alright Ooyama, no need to worry, I'll make sure she doesn't say anything bad about you." Yurippe said, smiling now.

"Thank you Yurippe!" he said, smiling brightly now, covering up the fact that he cried, making it unnoticeable.

I smiled myself laughing a bit, looking over at Kanade with her same expression, but I could tell she was more happy.
