The second time wasn't so happy.

Right after he had lunch with Jinsoku at the cafe, Yasutsuna had gone back to work. Apparently, his job was to observe the Cult headquarters, as the demons had received information from Fatima (which probably came from d'Eon) that a band of humans and fairies were about to blow it up.

And now, he was observing from bushes. Cliche, but it worked.

He watched as two humans and two fairies entered the place. Maybe they were going to burn the place down, or maybe they were just instructed by the dragon gods to rescue their princess. Most likely the first one, he figured.

He waited.

And waited.

And finally, there was a great big explosion.

The Cult headwuaters busted into flames, and the place burnt down completely in no time.

Well then, I suppose that's it.

As he got up and prepared to leave, he caught a glimpse of a green cap.

Green cap?

He turned around, staring at the ruins of the Cult. And right there, in all his fabulous glory, was Jinsoku. His hand was on his cap, pulling it down as far as possible.

Jinsoku was with the Cult?

But then yet another person came along. The good for nothing Perm Idiot. Or known as Windy. Said person took out his guitar and strummed the strings, and started singing the most worst sounding Ballade ever. It was so bad that Yasutsuna wanted to leap out and break his guitar, and possibly kill him as well in the process, but no.

Just no.

After the terrible Ballade was finally over, he saw Jinsoku remove his cap, and smile brightly. Windy nodded and flew away on his Driver.

All was good, he thought, and got out of his hiding place. But his return was halted once again when he saw Jinsoku fall on his knees.

'Jinsoku!' His instincts took over and he rushed over. Jinsoku landed on him, falling limp immediately. 'Dude, you all right? Oi! Jinsoku!'

He could hear him mumble. Good. He wasn't dead. He heard him mumble something.

'What is it, Jinsoku?' Was it his dying wish?

Calm down, Yasutsuna commanded himself. He's not dying.

'Oi! Speak louder!'

'...'

'Yeah...?'

'...I'm hungry...'

Yasutsuna face-palmed, messing up his hair in the process. 'I suppose I have no choice, then.'

Somehow, he managed to get Jinsoku on his back, and carried him away to his home.

He got hit in the head at least eight times on his way back.

...

Jinsoku woke up and yawned, stretched his back, feeling all the bones pop. Only then did he realise that he was in an unfamiliar place. He sat up, patting the sofa that he had been laid on.

'You're finally awake.'

He whipped his head around and saw the Cushion sitting at a low tea table.

'Cushion! Where am I?'

Yasutsuna sipped on a cup of tea that definetely wasn't there just now.

'My house.'

'Really? Why am I here? Wasn't I at home-' Jinsoku slapped his hand over his mouth when he realised what he had said. The Cult was feared by and despised of. 'Morally wrong' experiments were conducted there, and they had tried to kill most of the world just a while ago. Known cult members were spat at or left alone once seen, so members were cautious about what they said.

'You seriously don't remember? You fainted after that god damned Perm Idiot sang his terrible crap. Was it really that bad that you fainted after it? And yeah, I got you here since lying in front of a pile of ruins doesn't sound really enjoyable.'

'Really? Thank you.'

Yasutsuna brought his hands in front of his face and rubbed at the area around his eyes. 'I swear to the gods...'

'Hmm?'

'... Nothing.'

Yasutsuna sipped on his cup of tea again. 'So, what are your plans for now? You just said that your "home" had been destroyed, so I guess you have no place to stay, but you still have your job with Chronos.'

Jinsoku raised his hand to his chin in a thoughtful way. 'Then... I'll stay here!'

'Huh?'

'You've already brought me here, so I guess it's alright?'

Yasutsuna rubbed at his eyes again. 'I regret bringing you here.'

Jinsku only stared at him in response.

'...'

'...'

'I give up. You'll stay here until we find you another place to live, alright?' Yasutsuna decided after letting out a sigh.

Not those eyes again.

'Thank you!'

'Stop thanking me.'

'Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Yasutsuna!'

'Just stop it already!'
