Yukino had left the land of Fiore and went to the land of Bosco. She soon got a job there at a large prison. The prison was a connection to the Era prison of the Magic Council. Unlike that prison, this prison was only belt to lock away wizards who had lost magic that was even more hard to come across unlike slayer magic itself.
For the first week Yukino was told many things such as the tours and the rules. She was surprised that the first rule was that she was forbidden to go down to the underground cells. She wondered why but her fellow guard told her that the underground cells had the worst wizards in all of history that were labeled dark wizards after Zeref himself.
Yukino honestly was surprised to hear that but she didn't mind.
Two weeks had went by and Yukino was doing her runs making sure that everything was in check. When she was finished she saw her commander coming to her.
"Commander."
"At ease, Yukino."
"Sir."
"All of the other guards aren't here so I want you to go down to the underground cells and go to cell 5. Make sure that prisoner isn't doing anything."
Yukino nodded then left to the underground cells.
She was surprised at how large the underground cell area was compared to everything else. When she reached the last hallway she walked straight to the end of the stoned hallway to see a prisoner that was chained to many things.
She was on her knees chained up. Her arms were apart and her head hung because there was a neck cuff that was chained to the stone floor.
She had cream tan skin and black sleek hair that hung to her waist. She wore a long sleeve white blouse with a black vest over it. She wore black pants and black leather boots. She had a strand of hair that framed her face that hung past her shoulder.
Yukino wasn't sure why but for some odd reason she just felt sympathy for this person. She walked into the cell cautiously but saw that the prisoner didn't move, true she was chained up but at the same time there was some movement that could be made.
Yukino crouched down and her eyes widen when she saw that this prisoner had hard metal mask that covered her face as if to keep her from seeing anything. Yukino took a key out and unlocked the mask from the prisoners face.
After taking the mask off the prisoner looked at Yukino who just looked at her.
"What are you doing?"
"I..."
Yukino didn't answer then looked at away. The prisoner just looked at her then she looked at the metal mask that Yukino was holding.
"You're new here, who are you?"
Yukino looked at her.
"I'm Yukino and you are?"
"I'm Nirava."
Yukino saw the chains then her expression saddened.
"Why are you chained up like this?"
Nirava just looked away.
"Really Yukino, I'm a killer. Although unlike most killers I do mine silently."
Yukino looked at her.
"I could be wrong but wouldn't you be in a different prison?"
"No. I also use a forbidden magic but I don't have a real reason to use it."
"So before you were brought here, did you kill people out of rage?"
"Neither. I didn't kill people because I was angry, people are just infuriating."
Yukino covered her mouth as if trying not to laugh but looked away.
"I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh but you are right."
Nirava just looked at her then both women heard a stomach growl. Yukino smiled at Nirava who just looked at her still with a very mono expression.
"Someone's hungry."
"..."
Yukino had her lunch and took a fork out and began to feed Nirava. Nirava was impressed at how good the food was but she was even more surprised that Yukino even gave her lunch to her.
After she was done eating she looked at Yukino.
"Yukino, I am forever in your debt. If I ever get out of here I will repay my debt to you in any way."
Yukino waved it off.
"No need."
"There has to be something that you want, right?"
Yukino blushed looking away.
"Well someone to talk to at least."
Nirava just stared at her.
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"If you could manage to find a way down here then I'm all ears for you."
The next thing Nirava knew was Yukino was hugging her.
"Thank you Nirava."
Yukino let her go then turned to leave but Nirava called out to her.
"Aren't you going to lock the mask back on me?"
Yukino looked at her.
"Did you want me to?"
"Honestly no, that thing had a bad taste to it."
Yukino smiled.
"I'll see you another time and I bring some more food for you."
With that Yukino was gone and Nirava just lowered her head.
"We just met...and already I like her."
With Yukino she had made it back to her place in the apartment complex near the prison. She sat on her bed and smiled down at her lap.
"I can't wait to talk to Nirava more."
She blushed.
"She kind of reminds me of Minerva but I can tell that Nirava is a proud person who keeps things to herself."
Yukino got ready for bed and closed her eyes.
"For a killer she sure is nice."
With that Yukino went to sleep.
