Saruhiko And Misaki
Yata Misaki, sitting inside the bar, the incidents now are less than before, he has more time sitting there without doing anything, they are turning to normal life, he thought it would be better if he looked for a part-time job after things calmed down right Now.
Anna was sitting and drinking the juice, while Kusanagi is arrange the drinks and the atmosphere was quiet.
The watch in his hand began to ring, there was a call. He raised his hand and answered the call without checking the caller's name.
"Misaki?" The voice that called his name.
Misaki left his seat and went outside.
"Are you doing well? I told you to come visit us, didn't I? What do I do with you…"
Yata's hand lowered on its own a little as he whispered, "Ugh, mom…"
"What did you say? Did you just say "ugh" to me?" a menacing voice came through immediately.
"N-No, I didn't! S-Sorry, sorry, I've been really busy, so…" in a cracking voice, Yata made timid excuses to the PDA. If any of his Homura comrades saw him right now, he could almost imagine them grinning and teasing him about how weak his knees went in the face of his own mother, that's why he chose to complete the call abroad, away from the others.
Yata's home wasn't all that far away from the Shizume town. He could visit it any time if he wanted.
"Yes, you always say this to your mother, but a visit from time to time will not hurt you, does not it?" His mother said with reproachfully.
"Sorry mom, this time I will definitely come!" Yata felt he was wrong, he said confidently.
After Home was very busy recently, it was hard for him to keep in touch with his mother, so he always promised her that he would come soon, but a lot of things happened, but a lot of things were happening, so he was always busy with it.
"Glad to hear that, but you did not forget your promise to me and Minoru, didn't you?" His mother asked.
"Promise..?" Yata.
Then, he remember the last time he saw his mother and his brother, it was at the beginning of this year, where he was busy after the Green Clan stealing the Dresden Slate.
"Sorry… But right now, I really can't…" At that time, he answer his mother with refused.
It was the time when Anna had sensed that the Slate would be "freed" - that is, would go completely out of control - any moment now. Yata couldn't allow himself to be the only one happily enjoying dinner with his family away from the Shizume town at an explosive time like that.
"Once you're done with all those things waiting to be done, you will visit us, won't you? And then, you will play with your sister and brother to their heart's content. Promise me."
"Yeah… I promise."
"And don't forget to bring Saruhiko-kun, too."
"Hah?!" Yata's voice cracked into falsetto when his mother suddenly added that condition.
Minoru, who looked on the verge of tears after Yata had refused to have dinner with them, livened up, face clearing, "Really?! If Saru's coming, too, I'll bear with you not coming with us this time, and I'll make Megumi bear with it, too! Nii-chan, make sure you bring Saru with you next time~"
"Ah, no, he… there's no way he'll come…" Yata's voice trembled.
His mother and his brother still whole-heartedly considered Fushimi Yata's friend, like 5 years ago.
Yata's hands clenched into fists without him realizing.
"Aah, I get it. You got into a fight with Saru, yes, nii-chan?" Minoru asked with an innocent face.
"Oh, is that so? I bet it was your fault." His mother shrugged her shoulders as if to say "good grief, what do I do with you", and Yata just couldn't stay quiet at that, "Why is it automatically my fault?! I've been calling him like forever, but he's the one who just keeps ignoring me! And things that happened ain't so simple as to call them just a f-fight… a lot of shit happened, actually…"
"But you're the one calling him, right? I see. In that case, just keep going, and sooner or later, Saruhiko-kun will run out of patience and answer."
"Good gracious, you were always like that, I swear. Foolish, unruly and forgetting to do your homework on a daily basis. And always getting into fights, too; I lost count to how many times I had to go apologize to your teachers and the parents of the kids you beat up…"
"Well, sorry for being such a bad son…"
"But you know…" When his mother's voice sounded again, as she continued despite complaining not a moment earlier, Yata got confused.
Her eyes, probably resembling Yata's own a little, with strong the yet warm light dwelling in them, were fixed right on him in a straight stare. "I believe that my son is not a person who wouldn't understand what he must do for a friend. I can say this with confidence, as your mother. So fix things with Saruhiko-kun as soon as possible and bring him along to visit us."
Shifting from one foot to another impatiently, Yata said, "I can't promise to bring h-him with me, but I'll visit you soon. And take my time to play with Megumi. At the moment, we have a shitty situation on our hands, but once we've dealt with it, I'll make sure come visit."
"OK. We will be waiting," his mother nodded with a smile, and Yata nodded back, then turned around and energetically pushed the skateboard to roll forward.
"Nii-chan, you promised! And bring Saru with you!"
"Let's go home, Minoru. It can't be helped that he can't stay tonight, so I should probably put that extra chicken we'll have left into your dad's bento tomorrow."
Listening to his mother and little brother parting comments behind him, Yata caught up to the rolling skateboard and jumped on it lightly.
At the time he was angry from Fushimi, when Yata thought he was a traitor, after he betrayed Homra for the first time and Scepter 4 for the second time and became one of the Green Clan Clansmen.
He tried calling Fushimi a few times, after he learned that he had become a Green Clan member.
"Fix things with Saruhiko-kun as soon as possible and bring him along to visit us." His mother's voice echoed in his head.
Yata knew more about him since that incident, that he was not the traitor he thought, he was an amazing person from the Scepter 4, there was a promise between them that they would speak more later, but even so ...
"Misaki…? What are you thinking about? Don't tell me you didn't fix things between you and Saruhiko Kun?" His mother's voice cut off his thinking.
"Ah..? No… It's not that.. But I need to talk to him first."Yata.
"Then you can bring him tomorrow and talk together, is that alright?" His mother said.
"Eh…? No.. I mean..." Yata said, confused.
"If I wait for you, you will still postpone that. Isn't that true? Megumi and Minoru still waiting for you both. So stop making excuses and being Saruhiko Kun tomorrow with you, alright ..?" His mother said, without giving him a chance to respond.
"Well .. I understood Mom ... I will try to bring him tomorrow with me .." Yata's voice trembled.
"We will wait you tomorrow, take care.." His mother's voice before hung up the call.
He sighed, while he was leaned on the wall.
"How do I bring Saruhiko with me tomorrow? We have not had a chance to talk yet."
It was true that things were better between them, but Yata felt he needed more time before he could call him to his home.
But, as his mother said, he would continue to postpone it without a chance to talk to him, as if he was still run from him as before.
"Alright.." Having decided that, Yata pressed the call icon.
Yata glared at the holographic screen that his wristwatch PDA. The screen with the name 'Fushimi Saruhiko' and the status 'calling' showed no signs of changing to 'connected'
As the only time Saruhiko responded to Yata contact from five years ago, the time Anna was kidnapped and Yata asked him for help, Saruhiko opened the call without saying a word.
"S-Saruhiko…?" Yata asked, feeling embarrassed.
"Misaki, huh…?" Fushimi said.
Hearing this, making him feel his heartbeat, he was worried before the call began, but after hearing his voice he felt as though he were talking to his friend as he had in old days.
"Hey… Are you doing well..?" Yata asked.
"Yeah.. Our work is still going on, but things are quieter than before." Unlike Yata who was initially confused, Fushimi was speaking without tension.
"I see.. Then, we can meet tomorrow?" Yata.
"Tomorrow..? Why suddenly?" Fushimi asked.
"N-nothing, but it will be a good opportunity to talk, can you take a vacation tomorrow ..?" Yata.
"Yes, it's not as if I can take a vacation or not. But you have to ask me the proper time for me first." Fushimi.
"You are right, but it is important to see you tomorrow." Yata.
"Okay…" Fushimi.
"Really..?!" Yata asked with a cheery voice.
"Yeah…" Fushimi.
He did it! Fushimi finally will come to his home, his mother, his brother and his little sister will be very happy!
"We'll see you tomorrow!" Yata.
"See you.." Fushimi.
Yata jumped up and felt happy.
After time, inside the Munakata office.
".. Thank you for organizing the notes from meeting with the prime minister. To say the truth, I shouldn't be troubling you to do these sort of jobs." Munakata smiled.
"By the way, I'm taking Tomorrow off." Fushimi.
In the next day, at Homra Bar.
"Honestly Misaki, you decided on the meeting time yourself. Why you are so slow?" Fushimi said, after he opened the bar door and stood there.
Yata who was sitting there, turned to him and asked "You were waiting outside? Why didn't you come in and tell me?"
"We're going anyways, there is no need." Fushimi.
"What's the matter? The cat's behaving for a change today... Ah! I'm not talking about Neko! Not that one!" Yata.
Unlike what was on the phone, Yata was talking more comfortably now, wondering why he was confused at that time, but that was not important now.
"You do not have to be rushing, isn't it? Today you are on vacation so come in and I will give you what you want."
Kusanagi from behind the table, who wanted to prepare them for some tea.
"...Please don't act like as if nothing had happened." Fushimi after being silent for a few seconds. "... I will come back again as a customer. And I will pay."
With a shocked look, Kusanagi turned to him.
Anna, who heard their talk, walked toward Saruhiko and stood in front of him.
"The monster ... Is gone..." Anna.
"Hm.." Fushimi.
"Saruhiko. It's okay now." Anna said, with a nice smile.
"Huh? Monster…? What do you mean, Anna..?" Yata asked.
"Yata Chan, don't you have to go now ..? Have a fun time with Fushimi." Kusanagi.
"Ah… Right.. Let's go Saruhiko." Yata.
As they walked in their way, Anna's words echoed in Yata's mind.
"The monster ... Is gone... Saruhiko. It's okay now."
He felt as though there was something important that he did not know, that arouses curiosity inside him.
"Say Saruhiko… What did Anna mean by that?" Yata asked.
"I wonder.." Fushimi.
"I see.." Yata. "And sorry to ask you all of a sudden. My mom said I need to take you home no matter what!"
"Please let her see you. My younger sister and brother also really miss you." Yata stood in his place, begging Fushimi to accept his request.
"Sure.. No problem." Fushimi said quietly.
"By the way, have you seen your mom yet?" Yata asked as they completed the walk.
"No.. She wouldn't want to see me anyway. I look more and more similar to him now." Fushimi.
His words were because of his great resemblance to his father, Fushimi Niki. His face looks more like him year after year.
"You won't become like your father." Yata stopped again and looked at him. ... That won't happen. It's okay Saruhiko"
"That's right, I won't become like him. I'm not genius like him. I'm just an ordinary human." Fushimi, who looked shocked for a moment, looked at the ground.
"That's not true. You are a genius as well. But you are not like him. You feel guilty, right?" Yata.
Fushimi look in a daze. "Guilt...? If that is what it means to be a Human." Fushimi smiled. "100 points."
"? What was that?" Yata asked.
"Nothing…" Fushimi.
They continued to walk, while a bus passed by them on the road.
"It's gotten warmer. I need to start considering getting a job this year. It pains me to think about it." The girl who was sitting on the bus, opened the window as she think.
"Back then, IT could only stand in the small world and gaze from afar. It used to me much worse powerless and suffocating, but i also realized, how narrow my sky was, yet compared to now, my heart back then was even more fearless." Oogai Aya.
The girl who was one day in the same class as both Fushimi Saruhiko and Yata Misaki in the school. It was at that time that she became close to graduating from the college.
"I wonder... How he is doing..?" Oogai Aya.
In the corner of Shizume city where the near-futuristic buildings with a large vision on the wall are built, there are times when it is often seen that the scenery as if the flow of time has been stagnant for decades or so beforehand. The vending machine of bottle juice, which is quietly standing in a place where the gap between the building is located, was also one such scenery. A retro design cola and a carbonated orange bottle are lined with cloudy windows.
"Oh, is this vending machine still here, I will buy something ... You are okay with a cola? You like the taste of carbonic acid, right?" Yata asked.
"This from several years ago!" Fushimi with a cold voice.
"What's going on, don't you mind if you don't complain once?" Yata immediate reply of a feeling that it was not "unbelievable".
Yata bought two Cola.
"How many years have passed before you see them? You will be shocked how both Minoru, Megumi grew up so much! They are in Sixt and... Hmm.." Yata.
"Sixth and second, isn't?" Fushimi.
"Oh, Yes, yes ... You remembered it, I had to count on for a moment" Yata.
"Not as if I remembered it, the last time I went to your home from five years, you can figure it out by calculating from there." Fushimi.
Even though Yata invited himself to keep the conversation without interruption. There was somewhat embarrassing thing more than he thought. He was with his friend who had hostile relationship for several years and going out together.
"Do you remember? Before entering Homra, when we first met Mikoto San, I was drinking the cola I bought from the same machine, when Mikoto San grabbed it and turned it into ashes, I was very scared." Yata.
"You said you were not afraid." Fushimi made a correction to complain.
"Even though we can do that too" Yata.
"... That's right" Fushimi.
"Well, it's a story if, what if ... What if the Dresden Slate was not in this world form the first?" Yata added "If Mikoto San wasn't the Red King, And Homra didn't exist.. If I didn't met Mikoto San? We were doing what we were doing right now. Well maybe I will be doing part-time job as same as now. And you will have gone to the high school and to the college."
"I don't want to think about the possibility of another future. It does not make sense to think about it, it is stupid, isn't it?" Fushimi.
"I see ... So Saruhiko, you don't have any regret?" Yata.
It seems like Fushimi had been touched by the words Yata said casually, after making a small tongue, he look forward. "Even if Mikoto San isn't the king, I think you will have met Mikoto San somewhere"
"Why? Why do you think so? Destiny or something like that" Yata.
"It don't have anything to do with destiny, you originally strolled around Shizume city, and Mikoto San was talking to Shizume city before Mikoto San became "King ", with Mr. Kusanagi San and Totsuka San. You probably had a chance of meeting them." Fushimi.
"Oh, I see.." Yata.
Yata remarkably nodded so many times. Fushimi frowns his eyebrows to Yata who satisfied nods. "Are you glad that you told me that they were hopping around, are you stupid?" Fushimi.
The left watch informed Yata of the incoming call.
"Yes….?" Yata.
"Sorry for being late, Misaki. I greeted Megumi and finished shopping. Where are you now? Is Saruhiko Kun is also with you?"
"Ah.. Yes, I'm with Saruhiko, where are you now?" Yata.
When Yata looked at the side of the sidewalk, he saw his mother and sister who gave up shopping bags walking hand in hand. Megumi laughed his mother and ran happily. Rather than being carrying on the back, the backpacked shoulder bag still shakes on the back.
There was one motorcycle running through the roadway at a tremendous speed. A red flame is blowing out like a jet engine from the muffler, and the rider clings to the body and screams "Wow ah ah".
Other cars coming and going on the roadway suddenly braked one after the other, and the cars in the opposite lanes seemed to be in contact with each other, and the surroundings turned into panic.
"It is a Power out of control" Fushimi's voice color switched to work mode.
The incident that the general person who got a sudden ability by the release of the Dresden Slate by "JUNGLE" cannot control the power, it is still often happening.
"Megumi!"
Yata suddenly blew up his mother's voice and threw a cola's bottle into the air and ran. He didn't bring his skateboard.
"Let me borrow!"
The whole body wears a red light in front of a frustrating merchant. Immediately after kicking the asphalt a little, the wheels of the dolly blow a flame and accelerate quickly.
Sliding in front of the runaway motorcycle, Yata jumped out of the carriage and hugged Megumi.
A sounded and throwing knives pierced the asphalt in rows. Three knives shone blue, yarns of light tangled and stretched up to form a net in the empty space.
Neither the riders just screaming to give up driving and the mesh accepted the motorcycle at all. Although the motorcycle broke through the net as it was, the net of light increased one step from Yata who embraced Megumi, and bounced off the motorcycle.
The driver was caught in the net, but the bike blew backwards and hit the side wall of the large truck that came running.
Fushimi caught two bottles that fell from the sky while rotating, while juggling with Pompon on the right hand, put the knife left on the left in the cuff.
Applause with a roar of relief from those people who got their face from the window of the car to Fushimi who made a trick like juggler and magician's skill with a cool face.
The blue clothes that came running immediately took over the wrecked bike and the riders in a state of confusion. While the influence of the Dresden Slate remains in the world, it seems that the work of "Scepter 4" will not go away.
"Well, I left it to you" Fushimi.
"Yes, sir... Fushimi-san" Scepter 4 man.
Leaving the blue clothes, Fushimi came back to where Yata is waiting.
Leaving the blue clothes, Fushimi came back to where Yata is waiting.
"Oh, in the end, you are the one who got a good look after all"
Fushimi threw a cola to Yata. One is what Yata released when helping Megumi, and the other raised from Fushimi into the air before throwing a knife.
"At least for her, you are more cooler." Fushimi gazed at Yata's feet. Where his sister stood and clung to his foot.
Yata caressed his sister's head, "Its fine, it's okay for Megumi to go to Mom."
Yata gently pulled Megumi apart and pushed her toward his mother.
"Megumi, you was surprised? Your mother was surprised, too." His mother hugged Megumi.
Megumi took a climb to cling to her mother.
"Well, I mean, that's Megumi's hero"
Yata was a little proud that he could use "The Power" that he don't know when it will go out, to protect his family.
"Let's go, I finished my work here." Fushimi.
"Is it ok if you do not get back to work?" Yata.
"Today I'm out of service, and it's not a job they cannot do without me, or don't you want me to see your family?" Fushimi.
"No ... I mean maybe if you cannot come today, so that's another day, come on. I've been looking forward to this!" Yata added "You are so crooked and not changed!"
Fushimi slipped a knife from his cuff, it was the moment that the blade was hooked at the end of the bottle crown and the crown was pulled out as a dexterity.
Purely!
The liquid in it began to blow.
…Ah. A guy, maybe Yata is the one who had done so. After that it was a frustrating thing to wield.
His own cola has been replaced with Yata's when he threw it into the air a little while ago.
Megumi looked up at Fushimi standing and the cola on his face and laughed "Saru, soda-boshi" Yata, watching the dark aura blurred out of Fushimi's shoulder.
"Okay, me too, I will also go with you" Yata
Yata swung the bottle he had with a lot of power.
"What? What are you thinking ...?" Fushimi.
Yata added his crown with his front teeth and pulled out boldly.
Yata was going to smile with "Wahaha" and accept it from the front, but the liquid blown towards his mouth with more than expected.
"Brother, don't do anything danger" Megumi.
Yata looked at Fushimi with a sticky liquid filled with bubbles. "...", Fushimi
"Are you stupid?" Fushimi.
"Yeah! If you need an idiot, leave it to me." Yata.
"Do not boast." Fushimi.
Stupid, a stupid conversation, Fushimi and Yata laughed, how many years have passed before they laughed so loudly?
"Oh, what are you doing now, you guys - as soon as we go home, you will need a washing and bathing" Yata's mother.
They scolded by Yata's mother like an elementary school student.
It's been a long time, before they laughed like that before they were together.
To Be Continued!
Most of the written events were part of the stories, but I am working to complete them from this point, and the most important point for me is Power and what happens after the destruction of Dresden Slate, the events will be action and about the characters, especially Fushimi, there are ideas about being carrying three colors and other ideas about what get with him as a result.
If it is not tired, please add any opinions or suggestions, I will be happy!
