Part 4 Kojiyuu
At a pirate ship
In the storeroom
Yuu's POVHere I'm, being locked up after escaped from the death god. Now I'm about to meet him again. However, I cannot give up. I have to save Nyan Nyan from that ugly and stupid pirate. He wants to take her as his wife. It is unforgivable. I have to find a way to get out of here. *sigh* what is an unfortunate day
End Yuu’s POV
FlashbackAfter jumped out of the ship, Yuu and Haruna hold on a wooden plank. They are floating on the sea for half day. Then they see a ship come to their direction.
"Hey, help us. Someone, help us" Yuu tries to raise his voice louder to take the attention from people on the ship. Finally the ship turns to them
"Nyan Nyan, they finally notice us" Yuu happily said
"Yes, lucky for us" Haruna said.
However when the ship get nearer, they notice something.
"That flag. A pirate ship" Yuu shouts
"I hope they will not do anything bad for us" Haruna said in worry tone.
The ship stop and someone come to them in the small boat to take them in. When they got to the ship, the pirates immediately surround them.
"Let's see who is begging our help" A man with a messy beard said
"So that ugly guy is the captain" Yuu thought
"Thank you captain for saving our life, we don't know how to repay your kindness." Yuu tries to please them while shielding Haruna behind him
"That girl behind you, she is so beautiful." the captain said
"What does that guy want?" Yuu furrowed his brows and thought
"Give the girl to me. That is your best way to repay me" the captain said.
“That jerk, no way I want to give her to you. However, he has a lot of people. I cannot fight all of them and protect Haruna at the same time. Let’s see what his intention is first.” Yuu thought.
"What do you want from her?” Yuu asks
“Since she is very beautiful, I want to take her as my wife.” the captain said and laughs out loud together with his underlings.
“He what? He wants to marry my Nyan Nyan. Not in million years. I have to find a way to get us out of this situation.” Yuu said
Then he turns to whisper in Haruna’s ear
"Nyan Nyan, can you hold him for one day. I will trick all of them and take us out of this situation."
Haruna nods slightly.
"I accept your offer" Haruna said
"But, Nyan Nyan... you are my girlfriend. Why?" Yuu hurtfully said
"You are just a small thief. How can you protect me while the captain of this ship is a strong and reliable man." Haruna said and walk away from Yuu.
"Young girl, you are a smart girl." the captain said and laughs.
When he is about to hugs her shoulder, Haruna bends downs to dodge his hand.
"But I have some condition before becoming your wife." Haruna said
"What do you want? Just say it, I will do it for you." the captain said
"Because I was born in a wealthy and traditional family, I want my wedding has to be very formal." Haruna said
"Why is it so important?" the captain complains
"Wedding is the most important thing to me. If you don't accept that, I would rather die than becoming your wife." Haruna said and turns away.
"Ok, just do as you please." the boss gives up and said.
Haruna smiles in her thought.
"Good job Nyan Nyan." Yuu thought
"I want our wedding will be held in two day from now" Haruna said.
"Ok, as you wish." the boss said.
"Until the wedding, you are forbidden to go near me or to my room" Haruna said
"What? Why?" the boss said
"That is traditional in my hometown." Haruna said
"Fine" the boss is pissed of
"Those are my first conditions. The rest I will tell you later." Haruna said
"What? You have more?" the boss said.
"You don't want. Then forget about me being your wife." Haruna said
"Ok, ok I will listen to you." the boss said
"Captain, don't forget our promise" Haruna said in soft tone and winks at him.
"Ok, everything is settle" the boss said.
Then he turns to his men.
"Take my wife to be into her room. Then take that guy into the storeroom and lock him there" the boss said
"Wait what. Why did you lock him up?" Haruna asks in surprise.
"Just now, didn't you said that you don't care about him, so why did you worry when I lock him up?" the boss frowning and asks
"Even so, he is my friend. Of course, I'm worry about him. Can you just set him free?" Haruna pleads
"I'm not stupid. If I let him go around freely, you and he will escape from here right." the boss said and smirks.
Haruna looks at Yuu with worried eyes. Yuu smiles reassure her.
End flashback“It is already night, those stupids definitely asleep by now.” Yuu thought
“I should make my move right now.” Yuu stands up and walks slowly to the door
Yuu looks around the place and notices that the 2 men that guard him are sleeping. He slowly picks the lock of the door. After success, he stealthily walks behind the 2 men on the table. Yuu hits one of the men behind his neck. Doesn't let the other man react, Yuu uses his hands to hit the other man hard on his temples. Then he locks them up in the jail. After that he sneaks out of the room. He sneaks around the place to find Haruna. Then he notices a room with two guards stand in front of it.
“Wow, that pirate is not as stupid as I thought.” Yuu thought.
“Uhm….How can I distract them?” Yuu strokes his chin and thought.
Then some ideas pop in his head. He goes back to the storeroom and unlocks it. He comes in and wakes up one of the men. When the man wakes up, Yuu puts a dagger on his neck
“Shut up or I will kill you” Yuu said
The man quickly nods
“Stand up and listen to my instruction.” Yuu orders
He nod and stands up.
Before he goes out, he checks the other man once again.
Then he leads the men to Haruna’s room. He stands behind the man and puts the dagger behind the man’s back
“Stay calm and walk slowly to them. If you do any suspicious move, this knife will go inside you” Yuu coldly said.
The man only just nods.
Then the man slowly walks to them while Yuu is hiding behind him. Thanks to the night, the view of the guards is limited. Therefore, Yuu successfully approaches them.
"Hey man, didn't you guard that man. Why did you come here?" the man said.
"Just answer as normal. Don't do any funny thing." Yuu whispers and puts the dagger nearer.
"He is locked and sleep like a dead person. Therefore I come here to take some fresh air. Plus there is other guy guard him down there" The man said while trying to calm down.
“Asks them, how does the girl doing?” Yuu said
The man nods and said as you said
“How does the girl doing?”
“She did not do anything. Our boss is inside with her.” The man said
“What? He is inside. I need to act quickly.” Yuu thought
When the man is getting between the guards, Yuu quickly hits the man behind his neck. At the same time he turns around and raises his leg to kick the guard opposite him on his jaw making the man lost conscious. Then he uses his elbow to hit the man on his right side at his throat.
Suddenly, he hears Haruna’s voice
“What are you doing?”
Quickly he kicks the door and runs to the room
“You filthy pirate, what are you doing to my Nyan Nyan.” Yuu shouts
“Yuuchan?” Haruna calls him
Then he realizes the situation. He sees a teenager boy kneeling on the floor opposite with Harura
“What is it?” He said in confuse
“Where is that ugly man?” Yuu asks
“And who is that kid?” Yuu continues.
“I’m that pirate. That is my disguise.” The boy said
“What?” Yuu said
“What happened here, Nyan Nyan?” Yuu is totally confused
“Calm down Yuuchan, Sit down and I will tell you.” Haruna said
FlashbackHaruna is sitting in her room
“What should I do now? I hope Yuu’s plan work” Haruna thought
Suddenly the door opens. The captain comes in
“What are you doing here? I said that you are forbidden to come to my room.” Haruna stands up and said.
“....” The captain keeps silent
Then he slowly walks toward Haruna. Haruna steps back. The captain takes her hand and pulls her closer. Haruna uses her other hand to attack his eyes, but he catches it. Then she raises her foot to step on his foot making him to step back and loose his grip. Taking the chance, she uses her head to hit his forehead. The captain steps back and falls on the ground. Quickly, Haruna takes the man’s hand and twists it behind his back and strongly press him on the floor.
“Thank you Acchan for this martial art lesson.” Haruna sighs in relief and said.
“Acchan?” The captain thought
“Wait.” he said
“Shut up, I told you before right. Don’t mess with me.” Haruna said and presses him down more.
“You are Kojima Haruna, right? You are Nyan nee-chan, right?” The captain said
“Who are you? Why did you know my name and call me that way?” Haruna said
“Do you remember the 12 years old boy in “Dew Island”?” The man said
“Kazuki? What about him?” Haruna said
“It is me, Nyan nee-chan.” The man said
“Don’t lie; if you are him, you are only 18 Years old now. Do you think I’m stupid?” Haruna said
“I don’t know how did you know him but don’t deceive me that way.” Haruna continues
“Nyan nee-chan, It is me. I’m Kazuki. This is just my disguise.” The man said
Then Haruna uses her hand to pull out his wig. Haruna takes out her small knife and place it on the man’s neck
“Now, stand up and turn around. Don’t do any stupid thing or I will cut your throat right away.” Haruna coldly said
Then the man slowly stands up and turns around. He uses his hand to take out his mustard and erases all his disguises.
“It is really you, Kazuki.” Haruna frowns as she tries to remember him.
“Yes, this is me. Many years ago, you and Acchan nee-chan saved me from a group of bandit.” The boy said.
Then Haruna put back her knife.
“Then, Kazuki, tell me, what are you doing?” she asks and crosses her hand
Suddenly Kazuki kneel down before her
“What are you doing?” Haruna said in surprise.
End flashback“So that is what happened?” Yuu said and sits down
“Uh” Haruna said
“Then kid, if you knew Haruna, why did you act like that and locked me up in the first place?” Yuu glares at Kazuki
“At first, I just felt that her face is very familiar to Nyan nee-chan. Therefore I did that.” Kazuki said
“Why did you come here and act like that?” Haruna asks
“Tonight, I went here to check if you are really Nyan nee-chan. I just want to take a closer look at you. When I heard you said ‘Acchan,’ I knew it is really you. Sorry, Nyan nee-chan” Kazuki looks down and said.
“It is ok” Haruna said
“Then, why did you lock me up” Yuu said
“Because I don’t know who you are.” Kazuki said with an ease attitude.
“But I’m with Nyan Nyan.” Yuu reasons
“That doesn’t matter. I just want to lock you up.” Kazuki said and smirks.
“You, little brat” Yuu said and smacks Kazuki’s head.
“Ouch, why did you hit me?” Kazuki said and caresses his head.
“Nyan nee-chan” Kazuki pouts
“Yuuchan” Haruna calls
“Nyan Nyan why did you siding him?” Yuu runs to Haruna and pouts
“It is really ashamed. Famous thief the Squirrel was tricked by a little brat.” Yuu said and sighs
“You are that famous thief” the boy stands up and said
“Uh” Yuu nods
“That’s cool.” Kazuki happily said
"You are really happy because you can meet a famous thief in person, right?" Yuu said with a proud face
"No, I'm happy because I successfully tricked a famous thief" Kazuki smirks
Yuu smacks his head again. Kazuki glares at Yuu while caressing his head.
“By the way, Kazuki, why did you become a pirate? And why did you kneel before me?" Haruna said
"That remind me, please Nyan nee-chan, can you help me?
“What happened?” Haruna asks
“My father is missing” Kazuki said
“1 month ago, our village was attacked by a group of pirate. They captured the girls in my village. My father led a group of men to their place to save the girls. After 1 month he and the rest still aren’t back yet. Therefore, I’m on my way with some of the villagers to go and find him.” Kazuki continues.
“Those are villagers?” Yuu asks
“Uh” Kazuki answers
“To evade the pirate’s attention, we disguise like one of them to go there.” He continues
“No wonder, they are easy to take down.” Yuu said
“Please Nyan nee-chan, can you help me find my father?” He said in begging tone.
“Do you know where those pirates are?” Yuu asks
“I heard my father said that their location is in “Sin Island”.” Kazuki said.
"Sin Island" Haruna and Yuu look at each other with surprised.
“You two knew about that place?” Kazuki asks
“Uh, we went there once.” Yuu answers.
“Please, can you two help me” Kazuki bows
“Uh, we will help you.” Yuu said
“Thank you Nyan nee-chan, Yuu.” Kazuki happily said
“No problem, Kazuki” Haruna said
“Do you know anything about those pirates?” Yuu asks
“I heard they called themselves the “Demon.” Kazuki said
“Demon” Yuu frowning
“What’s wrong, Yuu?” Haruna asks
“I have some unfinished business with the boss. He is a traitor. He killed my best friend” Yuu said in angry tone
“You know about him” Kazuki asks
“Not only know. We used to be best friend, brother.” Yuu said
“He is a heartless man. He kills people without any mercy even his own little brother.” Yuu said and hold his fist tight.
“In the past, I nearly got killed by him.” Yuu said
“He is that strong?” Haruna asks and Yuu nods
“Then what are you going to do now, Kazuki?” Haruna asks
“I’m not afraid. I will go there to save my father and the rest for sure.” Kazuki said with serious eyes
“You really grow up huh? You are not the weak little boy that Acchan and I saved from those bandits.” Haruna said
“Yes, I have to. My father is the head of the village. Now he is missing, so I have to be responsible to my village. I have to follow my father footstep. He is the greatest dad, and I see him as my grow model. I want to be like him and protect everything dear to me.” Kazuki said
“I really miss my father and the rest. I hope he is ok. He is my only family.” He looks down.
Yuu looks at the boys and smiles. He walks toward him
“Its ok boy, we will definitely save them.” Yuu said and pats Kazuki’s head.
“Somehow I really admire you and your father” Yuu thought
“Thank you Yuu” Kazuki said.
“By the way, where is Acchan nee-chan? And Why did you two float in the sea?” he asks
“Our ship was under attacked and exploded. We were able to jump out of the ship before it exploded. However because of the big storm, we were separated from Acchan and the rest.” Haruna said
“We still don’t know if they are ok. After helping you, I will go back to my friend’s house to meet them. Hopefully they are ok” Yuu said.
“Who can be that strong to attack you guys “The Legend”?” Kazuki said in surprise
“Uh, this time we pick on a very big enemy.” Yuu said
“Oh, I see. I hope Acchan nee-chan and the rest ok.” Kazuki said
“Uh” Yuu and Haruna nod
“It is already very late. I will leave you two to rest. Tomorrow, I will introduce you two again for the rest.” Kazuki said
“Ok.” Yuu and Haruna said
Then Kazuki leaves the room.
Inside the roomKazuki left the room, and Yuu still deeps in his thought.
“Yuu-chan, are you ok?” Haruna holds Yuu’s hand and worriedly asks
“I’m fine, Nyan Nyan” Yuu said and smiles
“Why did you ask?” Yuu asks
“You look like you have a lot of thought about that pirate” Haruna said
“Uh, I really hate him. When I think about him, I really want to kill him right away.” Yuu furiously said
“Can you tell me what happened?” Haruna gently asks
“Uh, you know the fact that I escaped from Aki-sense’s ship with Acchan right?” Yuu said
“Uh” Haruna nods
“After saying goodbye to them, I travel around the island. Then I was captured by a mine owner” Yuu said
Flashback“I’m so bore. Acchan and Yuki wanted to go on their own way. What am I going to do now?” Yuu walks around and though.
Suddenly someone stands behind him and hits his necks. Yuu falls and lost conscious. When he wakes up, he realizes that he is in some kind of room. He sits up and looks around
“Where am I” Yuu thought
“You are awake” a voice makes Yuu startle
He turns and looks at the source of the sound. He sees in the corner of the room, there are two kids.
“Who are you? Where am I?” Yuu stands up and asks
“My name is Kuno Minoru, and this is my little brother Kuno Minato.” the older kid said
“You are just like us was captured by the mine owner. He wants to find free labor. Therefore he captures all the homeless kids.” Minoru said
“By the way, what is your name?” Minoru continues
“My name is Oshima Yuu.” Yuu answers shortly
End Flashback“That is how I met them.” Yuu said
“Together, we escape that man and live as a group of thief. Every day, we will find information about those rich and greedy. Then we will rob them.” Yuu said
“That time, I thought that we will become good friend and brother for life. However, 8 years later, one day, I overheard Minoru were talking with someone.” Yuu said
“I heard they called him captain. After hearing all the conversation, I realized that he is a pirate. He used me and Minato to take money for him to build his troop and ship.” Yuu angrily said
“What happened next, Yuu?” Haruna asks
“I rush into the room to confront with him. Then we start a big fight. Minato tried to stop Minoru. To my and his surprised, Minoru heartlessly killed him before my eyes. Before Minato died, he helped me to escape the place. I swore that I will kill him to revenge no matter what.” Yuu said and holds his fists tight
“This is my chance to take revenge. I will definitely kill him this time” Yuu continues
Haruna comes and hugs Yuu
“Please Yuu, please calm down. Don’t do reckless thing. I don’t want anything bad happen to you.” Haruna said
“Nyan Nyan, don’t worry. I will not do anything reckless. Now I have someone to take care and love. I will not let me in any dangerous situation and leave you alone.” Yuu reassures with Haruna
“Now, it is already late. Nyan Nyan you should rest now.” Yuu said and Haruna nods
Next morningKazuki leads Haruna and Yuu to the deck to introduce them to the villagers on the ship
“Everyone, They are my friend. The incident yesterday is just a misunderstanding. They promise that they will help us” Kazuki said
“Nice to meet you all” Haruna and Yuu said and bow
“Nice to meet you” the group said
“Our ship will reach the island in this evening, so everyone, prepare to attack them tomorrow” Kazuki said.
“Ok” Everyone said
At the meeting room“Minoru is a smart man. We cannot attack him in normal way” Yuu said
“So, what are we going to do?” Kazuki asks
“Do you know where his hideout is, Kazuki?” Yuu asks
“I heard that his hideout is located in a deserted valley in the west part of the island” Kazuki said
“I see. Tonight, I will go there and investigate that place.” Yuu said
“I will go with you” Haruna said
“No, it is too dangerous.” Yuu said
“But…” Haruna said
“Don’t worry Nyan Nyan, I will be fine.” Yuu said and smiles
“Yuu, can I go with you.” Kazuki said
“Uhm… ok.” Yuu nods
At nightYuu and Kazuki sneak into the valley. They hide behind the big rock to observe the place.
“Their hideout is in that cave?” Yuu whispers
“Uh, There are a lot of guards outside the place” Kazuki said
Then they slowly sneak closer to the cave
“There are a lot of them inside too.” Yuu whispers
Then Yuu wait for a good chance to capture one of the guards. He hits him at his neck and brings the man back to the ship. Then they go back to the ship.
In the morningThey bring the man to the meeting room and ask him
"Where is the place that your boss keeps all the girls and the villagers?" Yuu said
The man keeps silent
"Where are they?" Kazuki holds his collar and asks
He still keeps silent
"Are you testing my patience?" Yuu bends down face to face with the man and asks
The man still stays silent
"Tell me now or die" Yuu holds the man by his collar and puts the knife on his neck.
The man struggle but still doesn't say anything
"Ah...ah...ah" is the only thing he is able to said
Yuu is suspicious. He opens the man mouth and checks
"His tongue was cut" Yuu shouts in surprise.
"What?" Haruna and Kazuki shout
Haruna sits in front of the man and asks
"Can you write?"
The man nods
"Can you tell me what happened to you?" Haruna asks
The man takes the paper and pen that Kazuki gives. Then he writes on it
"I'm just a traveler. I go around the sea with my friend. Then one day, Minoru attacked our ship. He captured me and some of my friend and cut our tongue so that we cannot commute with each other. Then he assigns us to guard the case." Kazuki reads out loud
"That is so cruel" Haruna said
"May I know your name?" Haruna asks
"My name is Jiro" Kazuki reads out loud
"Jiro-san, we want to attack Minoru. Can you and your friends help us?" Yuu said
The man nods
"Thank you Jiro-san" Yuu, Haruna, and Kazuki said and bows
"I also want to thank you guys for saving me" Jiro wrote and bows
"Can you go and convince to your friends and the victims that he did the same thing as you guys to help us?" Yuu asks and Jiro nods
"I have another question. Do you know where did he keep all the girls and victims that he captured?" Kazuki asks
"They were locked in a room at the end of the cave." he wrote
"Ok, tonight we will attack them" Yuu said.
After knowing where they lock the girls and Kazuki’s father, they start the plan
At midnightYuu and Kazuki come to the place. They arrange all the man to hide behind the big rocks around the cave. After everything is set, Yuu gives a sign for Jiro to go in. Kazuki disguises as one of them to protect Jiro. He and Jiro silently go around convincing Jiro’s friend and other victims. Outside Yuu and the rest are waiting for their sign.
After a whileKazuki sneaks out and signal for Yuu to silently attack. More than half of the guards are his prisoners and they are received the same treatment as Jiro. Yuu comes out of the hide place and orders the rest to follow his introduction
Taking the opportunity of the night, Yuu successfully disable all the guards outside of the cave
“Kazuki, you go with the rest to find them. I will go and find Minoru” Yuu said
“Uh, be careful Yuu. Remember what you promised to Nyan nee-chan before go there. I don’t want to see her cries.” Kazuki said
“Don’t worry boy. Did you forget who am I” Yuu said and smirks
“Yuu” Kazuki calls him
Yuu turns around and asks
“What is it?”
“What I said last night was a lie. You are also one of my grow model after my dad. You helped a lot of poor people. I really admire you.” Kazuki said
Yuu smiles at him
“One last thing, thank you for helping me” Kazuki said and bows
“You’re welcome kazuki” Yuu said and smile
Then they run into the cave. Yuu takes the left side of the cave and goes straight to the boss room
At Yuu’s sideHe stealthily takes every step. He checks around to see if there is any guard left. Suddenly a man passed by. Quickly he hides in the corner and waits. When the man steps near him, Yuu uses his hand to cover the man mouth and break his neck. Then he keeps walking. Finally he reaches the room. He stands there and knocks the door
“What is it?” a man voices from inside the room
“I have some urgent business to report to you” Yuu said
“Come in” he said
When Yuu opens the door, the man stands up in surprise
“Who are you? I did not see you before” The man said
“Captain, did you forget about me? Didn’t you see my face familiar?” Yuu ask
“Uhm … a little” The captain said in wonder tone
“So, you really forget about me, Minoru” Yuu said in cod tone
Minoru is taken back by Yuu’s words
“Did you forget the day you killed your own brother, Minato?” Yuu asks
“Y..y..you are Yuu” Minoru stutters
“Yes, I’m” Yuu said
“How can you come here? Guards, guards” Minoru shouts
“No use, I killed all of them. I also save people who you captured and cruelty cut their tongue.” Yuu said
“How can you?” Minoru shouts
“Now, I will take my revenge for me and Minato.” Yuu said and rushes Minoru
“Don’t underestimate me. Remember, you were the loser that day.” Minoru said and takes out his sword
Minoru raises his sword to attack you from above. Yuu raises his daggers to block it. Then Yuu kicks his legs. Minoru jumps back to dodge the attack. Then he swings his sword to attack Yuu from his left side. Yuu bends down to dodge the sword. Then he catches Minoru’s hand and throws him to the wall. Minoru fold his feet to contact with the wall. Then he jumps toward Yuu and injured his left arms.
“What do you think? It is time for you to beg for my mercy” Minoru smirks
“Don’t be too full of yourself. This is just a beginning.” Yuu said
Then they rush to each other once again. Minoru pierces his sword toward Yuu. Yuu jumps over him to dodge the sword. Then Yuu slashes his back make Minoru to fall on the round.
“That is for Minato.” Yuu said
Then Yuu kicks Minoru’s face. Before Minoru can balance himself, Yuu throws his dagger toward him. The dagger flies and shoves into his heart. Minoru fall down and die right away. Then he leaves the room. On his way out, he sees Kazuki and the rest
“Did you find your father? Did you save all your villagers?” Yuu asks Kazuki
“Yes, I found them all. This is my father.” Kazuki happily said and introduces his father to Yuu
“Thank you for saving us, Yuu” Kazuki said and bows.
“No problem. Now, let’s go back to the ship before Nyan Nyan starts worrying about us.” Yuu said and they return to the ship
At the ship“Yuu-chan, you are back.” Haruna happily said
“Your arm? Are you ok?” Haruna worriedly said
“Don’t worry Nyan Nyan that is just a scratch” Yuu said and smiles
“Kojima-san and Oshima-san, Thank you for saving our village. I don’t know how to repay you two” Kazuki’s father said and bows
“It’s ok; you don’t have to do that. Kazuki also saved our life. Just see this is our thank for him” Yuu said
“Son, I’m very proud of you. You are able to come here and manage the village very good.” Kazuki’s father turns to Kazuki, said and pats his head
“Thank you father, but I still have a lot to learn from you.” Kazuki said
“I think you and the rest should go to rest. You all should be very exhausted.” Kazuki said
Then they leave to their room
All the time Yuu just stands there and silent
“Yuuchan, will you stay in the deck with me?” Haruna said
Yuu is surprised
“Uhm...ok” Yuu said
“Why did you want to stay here Nyan Nyan?” Yuu asks
“To relax.” Haruna answers.
“Oh” Yuu answers
Then they silently stand there and look at the sky
“Uhm...Yuu…” Haruna calls Yuu
“Huh, uhm what is it, Nyan Nyan?” Yuu aks
Yuu is a little surprised because this is the first time she calls his name with a serious voice.
“Can I ask you something?” Haruna said and looks at Yuu
“Haruna, don’t be hesitate. You can ask me anything.” Yuu gently said
“Can you tell me more about yourself? I only know you used to be in the same ship with Acchan and you are the famous thief.” Haruna said and looks directly at Yuu’s eyes
Yuu looks at Haruna with a surprised look
“Moments ago, I can feel your sadness when you looked at Kazuki and his father. It is ok if you don’t want to talk about that. If that past is very sad, I hope you can forget the sad past. I just don’t want to see you sad” Haruna sincerely said
Yuu can feel the happiness in his heart. Immediately, Yuu pulls Haruna close to him and kisses her lips. When they break the kiss, Yuu hugs Haruna tightly
“Thank you Haruna. You can’t image how happy I’m right now.” Yuu happily said
"I actually admire Kazuki. He has someone to look up. My father is not like that." Yuu said, and Haruna tightened her hug
"Since I was born, my only family is my mother. I don’t have a father, and I don’t know who he is. Anytime I ask my mother she just stayed silent and cried. Sometime, she told me his stories, but she said in tear. Therefore I decided that I will never ask her about that. People in my village looked down on us. They defied us, and expelled us. My mom has to work very hard to raise me. When I was four, she passed away" Yuu said and tear rolls on his cheeks.
Haruna doesn't know what to say, so she hugs him tightly to ease his pain.
"I'm your family Yuu. I'll never leave you alone" Haruna whispers
"Uh, and I also never leave you alone" Yuu said
After a while, Yuu and Haruna go back to their own room.
In Yuu’s roomYuu takes out a letter from his pocket
FlashbackAfter killed Minoru, Yuu goes around to examine the room. Then he sees something on the table
“A letter” Yuu thought
“This hand-writing” He thought in surprise
End flashback“Is this your good reason?” Yuu thought and frowning
Then the next day, Kazuki's ship takes Yuu and Haruna back to Kuu's house.
