You, Eli, and Chifuyu sit in the back of a van. Eli is holding Ena in his arms. You stare down at your legs feeling discombobulated. Chifuyu notices and holds your hand. You slowly look at him and he softly smiles at you. You stare at his smile a bit before looking back down.
Not long later the van goes down into a garage. Once they park, they let the three of you out. You and Chifuyu still hold hands as you follow behind the guys into the building. Eli is walking in front of you two, still cradling the baby in his arms. They motion you all to a room, closing the door behind you and Chifuyu. Both you and Chifuyu stare at the door after it closes. Chifuyu turns his head to look at Eli who's staring at him.
"What's going on? Who were those guys?" Chifuyu asks Eli. Eli stares at him and then looks away making an irritated face. "Yo. I'm talking to you. What's going on?" He asks again.
"I-"
RIIIING RIIIING
You look around the room confused as to where the ringing was coming from. It sounds like an old phone. An old landline phone. Eli walks in the direction of the phone and picks it up, pressing a button on it. You have no idea what he did, but you still stood by the door watching him from a distance.
"Eli. You there?" A voice says from the phone.
"Eno?"
"How's the baby?"
"Where's my sister?"
"She's being taken care of. I'm on my way- The other two with you... I will have someone else deal with them."
"What are you talking about?" Eli huffs.
"You and your sister will be coming with me. Wasn't that the deal?" Eli clenches his fist and slams the phone down. Chifuyu looks at Eli in a confused way. Eli stares back at him.
"Did you hang up on him?" You question.
"Yeah." Eli replies.
"Who? What's going on?" Chifuyu asks glaring at Eli. Eli looks down at the ground with a sad look on his face. "ELI- COME ON DUDE. I'M NOT GOING TO KEEP REPEATING MYSELF!" He shouts as he lets go of your hand and approaches Eli.
"Chifuyu-" You say, holding your hand out. Chifuyu looks at you and then back at Eli.
"Eli." He calmly says. Eli slowly nods and takes a deep breath.
"That was my father-" Eli replies.
"He sent those guys to attack you or Yuki?" Chifuyu asks. Eli stares at him confused.
"I don't know." Eli replies. Chifuyu looks at you causing you to look at him.
"How did you know that guy's name?" He asks you.
"What guy?" You question.
"The guy who shot the girl."
"I have met him before... He had attacked me, but I got away..."
"Wait- You mean- he was one of the guy's you told me about before? The one's who ki- tried to kill you?" Eli asks in a panicked tone. You slowly nod. He furrows his eyebrows and looks down at the ground.
"What do you mean? Someone tried killing you?" Chifuyu asks in a low tone. You slowly nod again. "Why?"
"I don't know..." You answer looking down. Chifuyu relaxes his eyes and sighs. Eli looks at you and furrows his eyebrows.
"What happened to you today?" He asks you. You slowly look up at him confused on what he meant.
"What?"
"You walked out of class with that- white haired guy and never came back..." Eli replies.
"White haired guy?" Chifuyu repeats with a confused tone.
"Huh? You mean Mitsuya?" You ask.
"Whatever his name is... You left and never came back to class."
"Oh... Yeah- that's because I left the school." You softly reply.
"Why?"
"Yeah... Why?" Chifuyu repeats with his eyebrows furrowed.
"I was feeling stressed out... Mitsuya wanted to talk to me but didn't actually talk to me... then Kasumi came to me about her sister dying..."
"Kasumi?"
"You mean that girl with the two different colored eyes... She was like- very annoying that one day trying to talk with a hip hop accent?" Eli asks. You slowly nod.
"What did she want from you? Or did she just decide to tell you that?" Chifuyu asks.
"It's kinda like she wanted help... She told me that Kisaki wasn't helping her anymore." You imply.
"That really sucks... to hear." Chifuyu listlessly says.
"Who's Kisaki?" Eli questions. You stare at Eli and then sigh.
"Wait... you said Kisaki isn't helping Kasumi anymore?" Chifuyu asks. You nod. "Baji was right then."
"Right about what?" You question.
"Well... we know Kisaki has been targeting you, but I couldn't figure out why. So, I asked Baji."
"What did he say?"
"He believes Kisaki is using you to manipulate Mikey." He replies.
"Wait- What is going on with the two of you?" Eli asks pointing to both you and Chifuyu. You look at Chifuyu to see if he will give an answer. Chifuyu sighs and puts his hands in his pockets.
"Toman sees us as traitors."
"What? Why?" Eli questions. "You aren't even a member of Toman, Yuki. So why-"
"She's not a member but she's affiliated." Chifuyu interrupts. Eli furrows his eyebrows and looks away.
"I'm worried about Baji..." You comment. Chifuyu looks at you and softly smiles.
"He will be okay. Don't worry." He softly says.
Chifuyu is sitting on the small couch in the corner, and you are sitting on the floor beside him. Eli is sitting on a chair across the room with his eyes closed, still holding the baby in his arm. You can't tell what time it is but you're exhausted. You don't want to sleep out of fear of something bad happening when you're resting. You slowly look up at Chifuyu who's eyes are halfway open. He's leaning forward, resting his arms on his thighs and his hair hanging down a bit. You tilt your head to get a better look at him. His eyes shift towards you, giving you butterflies.
"I'm sorry." You softly say. Chifuyu tilts his head a bit when you say that.
"Sorry for what?" He asks.
"For getting you involved in this..."
"It's okay. It's better than being in Shibuya running away from Toman members." He comforts.
"Nothing about this is better..." Eli huffs from the other side of the room. Chifuyu lifts his head a bit to look at Eli.
"What's your relationship with your father?"
"Not a good one." Eli blankly answers. Chifuyu slowly nods and droops his head back down.
"Is that your kid or something?"
"Huh? What kid?"
"The one in your arms..." Chifuyu motions towards the baby in Eli's arms.
"No- She's my baby sister..." Eli huffs.
"Mmm... Okay-"
"Do you know how long we will be here for?" You ask Eli. Eli shrugs and closes his eyes again. Your furrow your eyebrows and pull your knees towards your chest.
Hours pass. You start to get irritated the longer you stay asleep. Eli is laying on the ground and Chifuyu is still in the same position. His eyes are closed. I think he's sound asleep... You think to yourself. You adjust yourself a bit trying to get a little bit more comfortable but your butt hurts from sitting on the ground so long.
"Yuki..."
You slowly look up towards Chifuyu. He's staring at you through his hair.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to sit here?"
"No it's okay..." You say, looking back down.
"I'm okay with sharing..." He adds. You slowly look back up at him and then nod. He moves over a little allowing you to sit beside him. You lean back and close your eyes. Chifuyu slowly leans his head to the side, resting it against your head. The two of you fall asleep.
The sound of cries slowly wakes you up. You look towards Eli who's walking in circles around the baby, rocking her. You slowly look down at Chifuyu who's still asleep, laying his head on your shoulder.
"Eli... Are you okay?" You quietly ask. Eli opens his eyes and looks at you. His eyes look heavy and tired.
"No- I want to know where Emi is..."
"Oh." You furrow your eyebrows and look down. "Did you get any sleep?" You calmly ask.
"No... Not really... Did you?" He softly asks. You slowly nod. "That's good. Is Chifuyu asleep?"
"No- I can hear you." Chifuyu replies, still sitting in the same position.
"When will we be able to leave?" You ask.
"I don't know..." Eli quietly says, continuing to walk around the room.
"Is the baby okay?" You question.
"I don't know... She's been acting weird."
You stand up, moving Chifuyu a bit and walk over towards Eli. The baby looks pale and uncomfortable.
"Where's the baby's mother?" Chifuyu asks, stretching a bit.
"I don't know." Eli huffs. Chifuyu narrows his eyes at Eli and slowly nods.
"The baby looks sick..." You say, touching the baby's hand.
"What do you mean? She's always looked like that..." Eli replies.
"Her lips are blue..." You imply.
"Blue? That means the baby isn't getting enough oxygen." Chifuyu states. You turn your head towards Chifuyu who's walking towards the two of you.
"How do you know that?" Eli asks.
"When someone is turning blue it's because they can't breathe."
"But she's obviously breathing..." Eli replies to Chifuyu.
"She's breathing but not getting enough air..." Chifuyu huffs.
"She needs to go to the hospital." You imply.
"I agree." Chifuyu says nodding his head.
"NO- No... we can't-" Eli shouts, walking away from you two.
"Eh?"
"Eli. I get you don't want to lose Ena but she's going to get worse if you don't get her help." You say, walking towards Eli.
KNOCK KNOCK
The three of you stare at the door, wondering who it is.
"YEAH?" Eli shouts. The door opens and Emi walks in. Your eyes widen when you see her.
"Emi?" You softly say.
"Eli! Yuki!" Emi sluggishly walks over to the two of you. The door closes behind her and you hear it lock. She wraps her arms around the two of you. You furrow your eyebrows feeling confused.
