The First message
Fushimi Saruhiko, opened his eyes slowly ... He was lying on a bed in the hospital, the place was quiet ... for a moment he did not remember what happened with him, it was like he was waking up from a long dream ... But that was not a dream ... That was a long mission... It was dangerous and could make him lose his life at any moment ... But Yata Misaki at that time saved his life...
Fushimi took a deep breath and sighed. "That mission ... Finally finished ..."
He sat in his place, but soon he clicking his tongue.
It was the moment he remembered when he fell to the ground ... he was embarrassed by what happened ... but at the time he felt he could not breathe ... he was trying to resist and stay standing ... But suddenly, he lost his strength and this made him fall while the others stared at him...
He turned around, his PDA was next to him, and he grabbed it and pressed the keys.
Several hours had already passed, at that moment the sound of footsteps was approaching the place.
Someone knocks the door quietly and slowly opens it.
"Hmm?" Fushimi was wondering.
"Ah? Fushimi San!" It was Hidaka Akira.
Hidaka rushed to bed "Are you fine? We have been very worried about you!"
Fushimi said while he clicking his tongue "I'm fine…"
"I am glad!" Hidaka said.
Fushimi looked at the other side, silent for a moment. Then he looked at him and said, "More importantly, what happened after that?"
"Everything is okay! Everyone is suppressing chaos, and we are regaining control in the region. Most of the people who gained the power are losing that gradually. The chaos has begun to disappear…." Hidaka.
"Losing their power?" Fushimi asked.
"Eh?" Hidaka said, surprised at a moment. "I see… Fushimi San, you didn't know about it yet? The Dresden Slate has been destroyed."
It was something that could surprise him if he did not really know about that... But Fushimi did not show any different expressions...
Hidaka felt confused for a while, but he understood that he had to complete his words "The Slates were destroyed by the Silver King Damocles Down.." Hidaka added "And the Green King, died through the destruction of the Dresden Slate. And according to our information, the Gray King also died.."
It was hard for Hidaka to understand Fushimi feelings at the time, he was listening without giving any expressions to explain what he felt, it was something that made Hidaka confused and did not know what he must say...
After minute, Fushimi said in a low voice "I see..."
He raised his hand and stares for a while, perhaps wondering in himself about they will soon becoming from the normal people without any powers.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Hedaka said as if he remembered something.
When he entered the room, he had something in his hands, Hidaka took out Fushimi's uniform from inside the bag.
"That is…?!" He could not hide his surprise, Fushimi was looking strangely to his uniform that he left in the night he came out of the Scepter 4.
"And this.." Hidaka smiled. He also carried Fushimi's saber.
Fushimi grabbed the Saber and was staring at it with a strange look.
When he had the falling out with Munakata, in the heat of the moment he lodged the saber in the door of the truck, leaving it there. He had other weapons, after all. Surely, he wouldn't be inconvenienced because of one saber missing - or so it was supposed to be, but actually not having the saber with him made him feel anxious.
He had been wearing the saber for 3 years. Its weight engraved itself into the marrow of his bones during those 3 years, and now, without it, he felt like his balance had become strangely precarious. Well, he was sure that it was just a trick his senses played on him, nothing more.
In his long mission, in the moments when he was in danger, his hands reached out for his saber several times... Fushimi wished he had his Saber with him...
He remembered a previous scene when Munakata wanted to name his Saber.
"I see. Then, would you mind terribly if I named your saber at my own discretion?"
"Be my guest."
"Subaru."
Receiving such an instantaneous reply the moment he had voiced his careless okay left Fushimi effectively lost for words.
"You did say you did not mind, only a moment ago, right?"
Watching Munakata's smug face as he pointed that out, Fushimi felt the frustration welling up inside about the fact that he had just been tricked. The bastard had been looking to do this right from the start, huh…
"Subaru," Munakata repeated loud and clear. Seated behind his desk, with his chin still on his hands, he was looking up at Fushimi, who was standing in front of the desk, with a refined, yet self-satisfied smile. "It is another name of the cluster of blue binary stars, the Pleiades. Although I imagine that you already know that and hardly require my explanation. It is a good name, do you not agree? I have no doubt that your work will live up to that name."
The provocative phrasing caused Fushimi to want to rebel.
"…Register it all you want, but I'd rather die than use that embarrassing name," Fushimi almost groaned with a face full of disgust.
"Fushimi San?" Hidaka wondered anxiously as Fushimi stared at his Saber.
"Subaru…Huh…" Fushimi said in a low voice.
Perhaps it was the first time he could call that name on his Saber! He was thought that the saber is just a tool ... But after he knew its importance... and without realizing... He called it with that name...
"Eh..?" Hidaka asked.
"It's nothing… Have you kept them all the time?" Fushimi said.
"Of course ... I mean at the time ... No one understood what happened ... I did not know what to do ... So I kept your uniform and the Saber ... I'm glad I mean ... Fushimi San ..." Hidaka. He did not know what to say. At that time everyone was in shock because of what had happened ... They did not believe what they were hearing about Fushimi being one of the Green Clan...
"Thank you…" Fushimi said.
"Ah…No… It's…" Hidaka.
Fushimi was able to thank him for having kept his uniform and the Saber, they mean a lot to him ... Fushimi Saruhiko He felt belonging to the Blue Clan, SCEPTER 4... His feeling towards the others here is different now ... This is not the place where he does disturbing work ... Or dealing with some idiots...
In the previous month, Fushimi was moving, changing net cafes and places every few days.
While there was a lot of time spent outside, it was cold, and his back was sore ... As if he was lost without a home and no shelter! At that time he had nowhere to go... The home to which he was returning...
Even his food, he did not eat much. He always felt cold and did not feel like eating. He spent long hours alone without talking to anyone! Just remember this makes him feel appreciated where he is now ... It is a good place for him!
"Fushimi San… I will come back now ... But, if you need anything please contact us!" Hidaka said and turned to the door.
"Wait…" Fushimi said.
"Eh..?" Hidaka turned.
"I will go too.." Fushimi said.
"What? But the doctor said you need rest today.." Hidaka.
"I'm fine now..." Fushimi said while he was standing carrying his uniform, then he said ... "Can you wait for me to change my clothes?"
"Ah of course! No, I mean ... The doctor should allow you..." Hidaka.
Clicking his tongue, Fushimi said "Don't bother, just wait me out!"
"Y-Yes, sir..!" Hidaka said and left the room.
It was strange that Fushimi asked Hidaka to wait for him! In a normal situation, Fushimi would prefer to go out alone ... He was not the kind who would prefer to go with others!
"Fushimi San…." Hidaka said while he was standing alone in front of the room.
A few minutes later, Fushimi came out of the room, dressed in his formal clothes, and put the Saber on his waist. It was a long time since Hidaka had seen Fushimi like this.
The person who works nonstop, and the one who performs most of the work that belongs to the special unit in SCEPTER 4.
In his absence, the work has become difficult to accomplish, because they rely a lot on his personal skills, and that person has finally returned to them ... But ... He did not have to wear his clothes now ... It is not like he has to go back to work this immediately!
"Fushimi San..?" Hidaka asked.
Fushimi walked a few steps forward and said "Let's go"
Hidaka was walking behind him, he noticed that Fushimi could barely walk.
After they were about to leave the hospital, Hidaka act with decisively... "Fushimi San ... Please sit here ... I'll go to call a car to get us from here! Just wait for me.."
Without hearing any answer, Hidaka ran out of the place, Fushimi looked at him for a while, then sat on one of the seats there ... He was breathing hard.
"Seriously ... Why should I burden myself like that?" Fushimi said while breathing quickly.
He put his hands on his right leg, on the wound where he was wounded in his battle against Sukuna...
"Hisui Nagare has died...Huh…" Fushimi.
Hisui Nagare ... The person who spoke with him a few years ago ... and the person who gave him a real chance to join his side ...has died...
For him, after being under his command for a very short time, he did not think this person was bad, the person who wanted everyone to live freely and have the power and responsibility to survive...
The place where he was not so bad, although he was on a serious mission, was constantly nervous, there were moments he felt as if he were in a strange family atmosphere ... Not as if he was one among them... But in a way their lives and the time spent with them... That time was better than the time spent alone in cold places! Iwafune was preparing food for them as well... When Hidaka told him a little while ago, there were no feelings about it ... But ... Thinking about this... The news of their death was a bit shocking...
Hisui Nagare accepts Fushimi among them until the end! And gave him the opportunity even though he knew his intentions from the beginning...
Fushimi sighed "What is this stupidity I am thinking now?"
Fushimi pulled out his PDA from his pocket, then he notice that there was a message.
When he was on his mission, he had turned off the ringtone and the vibration, so now it was impossible to know when he had an incoming call or anything.
He had to cut off all his ties to Scepter 4! His phone was totally being tapped, so get the clue. So, he did not know about the message right on time.
The message was from Yata Misaki.
He felt some tension, Yata Misaki, who was calling him all the time last month.
After he heard that Fushimi had stormed off, ditching the Blues, at the end of the year, Yata was worried and that's why he tried calling Fushimi a few times. When he had free time, that is. Which he hadn't had at all in the past month. The only time to date when he had was back when Anna was kidnapped by the Greens before awakening as the Red King and Yata requested Fushimi's assistance to rescue her.
His friend, his partner when he was in Homra ... And the person who saved his life when he was in danger!
Fushimi pressure to see the content of the message, how many years have passed before he received a message from him!
[Saruhiko.. I hope you are okay now... You know ... They said you will be fine after you get rest ... Get well fast! So that we can talk!]
His hand was trembling a little, not as if he could speak to him as easily as before! He had a deep feeling in his heart ... He did not understand that ... Should he feel happy? Or should he regret? Or what should he do? ... Anyway Fushimi smiled and said "That idiot.."
At that time, Hidaka had returned to Fushimi, and there is a car was in front of the hospital to get them.
"Fushimi San…" Hidaka called.
"Yeah I'm coming." Fushimi said.
While staring at his PDA, he pressed several keys as if he were writing something, then stand and went with Hidaka.
At that moment, Yata Misaki, who was sitting in Homra after a long hard day, his PDA ringtone started playing.
At that moment, Yata screamed, saying, "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" As if something terrible had happened to him.
Kusanagi Izumo, Who was in his usual place, sighed and said, "At a time when I was saying to myself that Yata Chan was quiet for hours ago ... What the matter!
Yata looked awkward for a while, whenever the rest stared at him. That was a violent and surprising reaction! They were eager to find out ... But Yata was not really able to tell them the reason, he will be more embarrass if he tell them!
"I'm sorry..." Yata turned his face away, avoiding everyone. He looked at his PDA on his hand.
The moment Yata screamed was the moment he saw a message from Fushimi! Maybe because Yata thought that Fushimi Will not respond to his message ... not as if Fushimi did not want to respond to him ... he was even thought to be asleep, or unable to respond now!
In fact, at that moment ... it was mixed up on Yata!
In the last month, while Yata was desperately trying to contact Fushimi, he was not receiving any response!
His reaction a moments ago would be the same as if Fushimi had responded the last month!
For this, there is something in his mind that still exists... The moment when Fushimi's response! The moment that Fushimi answers ... This is finally happening now, moments ago, despite the fact that Yata managed to talk to Fushimi face-to-face hours ago, but the time that passed, his mind make him imagine other scenes ...
Yata Misaki also was not able to write a letter to Fushimi Saruhiko easily! He has not been able to understand Fushimi for too long! So he had to feel some responsibility and embarrassment! He spent a whole hour writing and wiping that message so he could send it!
He finally send the message.
[Saruhiko... I hope you are okay now... You know ... They said you will be fine after you get rest ... Get well fast! So that we can talk!]
The message from Fushimi was,
[Yeah ...]
Yata felt as if he needed to talk more with him ... he wanted to ask him about his condition ... Wanted to talk to him about a lot of things... But was not able to do so ... he was confident that Fushimi would need more rest. .. And he will be able to talk to him after that...
