Planet: Astra
City:???
Time:??
People are running in and out of the city hall as it is engulfed in flames,an official walks out with guards as they head towards the mountains "where is asuka?"
The guard hesitates, unsure of the outcome of his answer "s-sir she's in labour now" hikaru grins unsure of how to react "let's go to her"
"Sir... What about the ongoing war"
There's a moment of silence
Hikaru exhales deeply as he halts his movement temporarily "two guards go ahead the rest follow me "
"Oh?"
Hikaru turns immediately as he recognized the voice "what are you doing here "
"U should be asking you the same embodiment of war, hikaru hoshino"
Hikaru frowns
"I would like to know why you are heading to the hospital at a time like this "
"I need to see my wife, she's in labour now "
The mysterious person smiles, slightly showcasing a scar on his cheek which was covered by his black hair
"I see..." "So..."
Hikaru maintains composure as he suddenly appears in his front angry
"She is more important than saving everyone hikaru?..."
"Im sorry taka, you'll cover for me.....right?"
"You know you'll die for what you are about to do right?"
Hikaru smiles and walks towards the hospital leaving taka behind
"Hikaru you owe me one"
"Sure..."
Taka runs towards the mountains where the battle going on slightly more energetic than earlier
Hikaru closes in on the hospital and realizes that it is partly engulfed in flames and the entrance has fallen over sealing it from outside
"Damn it..... Got here late"
Hikaru uses his sword to effortlessly clear open a path as he rushes in
Hikaru is greeted by a nurse who seems to be in a bad shape
"S-sir..."
"What happened here?"
Hikaru observes her thoroughly to check for clues
"Sir they attacked this place..."
"They?"
They both seemed to have knowledge of 'they' as hikaru mood changes after hearing those words
"Where is my wife?"
"She's resting in her room, she just gave birth to your son"
"Okay thank you"
Hikaru's mood didn't lighten up despite hearing such good news. He walked to the ward and enters only to see blood everywhere and his new born child crying amidst a puddle of blood besides his seemingly dead mother
"C-chinatsu..."
Hikaru runs to her side uncertain of her death but too guilty to check as he makes sure of his child's safety. After cross checking on his child he carries his wife's hand and holds it to check only to realize it was dead cold and felt lifeless. A tear drop rolls down his eyes as he couldn't contain his grief anymore till he feels a gentle pat on his head
"There there, don't cry hikaru..."
Hikaru immediately raises his head and sees his wife stroking his hair gently and smiling
"I'm not dead hikaru,I just fell asleep from tiredness"
"Chinatsu,... don't go dieing on me okay"
Chinatsu says nothing but keeps smiling and caressing his hair
"What name do you want to give our child?"
Chinatsu is partially shocked by that question
"Wow, you thought of that..."
"Why not?..."
"Well, you see, you tend to forget alot of things"
"Oh...my bad.... so what name did you think of"
Chinatsu calls his attention towards her left arm where a writing is displayed on
"Look here..."
"Er... I'm bad at reading remember?"
Chinatsu couldn't help but let out a small laugh which pleased hikaru completely
"You have yours right?"
Hikaru answers boldly"yes "
"Let's say it together then"
Hikaru let's out a deep breath and waits for chinatsu's signal
"3,2,1...go"
"Danzai"
After calling the name in unison,they stare at each other shocked at their answers
"You too taught about danzai?"
Hikaru smiles
"Yeah,i wanted to name him after taka..."
"Me too"
Apparently taka has been their best friend for a long time now
Chinatsu looks at the door and sees the nurse peeping in on them but ignores her
"What about the battle hikaru"
"Forget about that for now "
"No I can't ..... If you don't stop them, they'll still come after us"
Hikaru felt reluctant to leave but had to
"I'll come back for you"
"I'll be waiting"
Hikaru jumps out through the window and runs to the mountains. Just then the nurse enters the room looking annoyed
"Took you two long enough"
Chinatsu brightened mood changes to a mix of worry and fear
"A-as promised, don't kill hikaru or his son please....he started the war because of me so let me pay the price"
The nurse lets out an evil laugh as she tears the outer skin revealing a male inside
"Hikaru is quite easy to deceive though, did he think I'll aid him"
The mysterious man finally focuses his gaze on her
"And now....."
