Mie is playing with her DS while Sho is pacing in front of her, the others are actually seating either in front of her or next beside her. She grab Sho on his shirt âstop doing that otherâs are getting dizzyâ Sho looked at her âshould we tell otosan?â Mie looked at him and shake her head.
âYou don't want Otosan to be here by tonight and drag me back home with cuffs and a platon escorting me ne?â then sigh âbesides, we are already able to find this formula and hopefully it would destroy the serum in my veinsâ then Mie looked at Aya âthese girls can handle meâ Sho sit beside her and hugged her tight âno worries Nii-chan I would be fineâ
âWhy didnât you tell me about this!â Shoâs voice is accusing, Mie smiled âit's because I know you would be like this, not to mention I don't want to worry otosan eitherâ Sho hugged her tighter âwhy do you always worry about us were in fact your the one who needed to be taken care ofâ Mie hugged him back âyou guys are more important than my life you guys are the only ones left to me and I would give up everything I have just to make sure you're safeâ
Then Doctor Yuya was already calling for her âMajor, it's timeâ Mie nodded then face her troop âbe on standby guysâ ladies stand up and followed them, when Ohno speaks up âcan we be the one to handle you instead?â Mie chuckled and run back to hug Ohno âarenât you the sweetestâ Ohno looked at her she planted a soft kiss on Ohnoâs nose âit's okay these girls can handle me better and they are trained in restraining meâ
Then Mie run back to Yuyaâs side along with her girls then Kim voiced out âcan we extract blood for now and try itâ Mie put an arm around Kim âdon't tell me your scaredâ Kim eyed her âpartially no, it's just that I am not sure if they are ready to see you being deadlyâ
âMy brother already saw it earlier so it would be fineâ Inoue also speaks âyeah Dr. Yuya can we just get the extraction for nowâ Dr. Yuya nodded âmy thoughts exactly!â Mie sigh then Dr. Yuya continued âso we would also know what would be the effect of the serum to your bloodâ
Mie nodded âfine then I would also want to see it for myselfâ so they continue then Mie call up Sho to inform him it would be just blood extraction for now and they would run some test. Mie ask Sho to just wait for her at the common room and Sho agreed.
Dr. Yuya perform the extraction then the put it on different plate and then perform the experiment. While waiting for the result Mie ask permission to get back to their quarters since she wanted to take a shower. The girls did the same.
By the time Mie was done her shower Sho was waiting for her downstairs. Mie smiled and sit beside him Sho check her arm as well as her shoulders but sho is unable to see bruises on her shoulders and on her arm Sho can only see a scratch from the slice she got.
Mie smiled âI am invincible bruises can last about 2 days but if it's a cut it would only take few hours and my skin would be regenerating on itâs ownâ Sho eyed her suspiciously âbut the bruises I saw yesterday?â Mie smiled âBruises would last long since it's a muscle and is visible through skin discoloration which was caused by an impact but if it is a wound then it would only take a few hours to heal, the cerum act and regenerate tissue and pump my heart faster to normalize and replace the blood lostâ
Then Sho shake his head then Mie continued âso basically you donât have to worry so much about me, except when I am on a deadly stateâ then sigh âit would be better to not let me bleed or anger me you saw what I did to them earlier right?â Sho nodded then hug her then Nino sit beside her âMie-chan, did you feel any pain when the serum was inserted to you?â
Mie smiled âthanks to Ryou, I didnât feel that much painâ then her communicator lit up âAya-kun?â then an answer Mie stood up then smoothly jump from one couch to the other âgetting it now be there in a fewâ then Mie run through the stairs and when she got back she faced Sho again âNii-chan I need to be back in the lab, would just call you once I needed helpâ Sho nodded and open his arms.
Mie hug him tight âmake sure to open your communicatorâ Sho nodded but not letting her go, Mie chuckle and call on Aiba âAiba-shii help Nii-chan wonât let go of meâ Aiba smiled âSho-chan, you need to let goâ then Ohno smiled âyeah, Sho-chan Mie needed to do somethingâ but itâs as if Sho is unable to hear them.
Ohno and Aiba hold Sho in place while Nino helped Mie get out of Shoâs hold, when finally Mie was out of his hold her communicator lit up again âGomen, Nii-chan wonât let go, but I am on my wayâ then she chuckle and give nino a hug âarigato Kazu, Aiba-shii hold nii-chan ne? I would just give you hug when I get backâ
When Mie was at the door Toma was standing and open it for her âcan I accompany you?â Mie look at him then smiled and grab his hand. When they were in the elevator Toma cleared his throat âMie-chan, about what I said when I was drunkâ Mie answered but not looking at him.
âItâs okay I would understand you said it because you were drunkâ Toma shake his head âit's the other way around, I would ask if we can give it a try. I donât care about the serum in your blood you are still my Mieâ She look up to him this time then the elevator opened.
âA lot of things change in the past 2 years Toma-kun, I changed within those years so the Mie you have loved before might not show up anymore. Can you still accept the new Mie?â she pause for a moment then continue âif you can answer that question then let us talkâ Toma hold her hand and let his eyes wander through the depth of her soul âYes, I can accept anything about you, I would be waiting till our mission is finished so we can start talking about this matterâ
Mie was unable to move for a second nor unable to utter words, then Toma continued âyou can always ask my help about this case and I would be right beside youâ Mie still unable to move was grabbed by Lieutenant Chuck âthank you Major Ikuta for escorting her, I would take it from hereâ then closed the elevator.
Then he put his arm around Mie âone of your fear is happening, what are you going to do?â Mie look up at Chuck âI would need to deal one after the otherâ then take in a deep breath âfirst things is first, request the auth to be transferred me back to you, Â I needed to be away from himâ Lieutenant nodded and requested the permission to be withdrawn via his communicator, then they proceed to the lab for the result.
There were more test to be done and Mie was asked to extract blood from Ryou but Mie seems to be in a deep thoughts Maou pat her âMie-chan, is everything okay?â That was the only time Mie noticed that all of them are now looking at her, she cleared her throat and smiled âsure, let me see Ryouâ then stand up and walk out of the lab.
Aya and Maou noticed it but then Chuck voiced it out âlet her be alone for now, anyway she would be seeing Ryou so it would ease her tension and would get back to her sensesâ Kim arch her brows âmeaning?â Chuck sigh âyour Friend's fear is happening one after the other she is preoccupied with her thoughts and she needed a breatherâ
Mie reach Ryouâs chamber without her knowing it, she entered the room and Ryou smiled, she removed the cuff in his hands and hugged him tight while Ryou is also hugging her âI haven't seen you in a while I thought you abandoned meâ Mie shake her head âI wouldnât do that I promised you remember?â
Then Mie sigh âneh Ryou, you told me that with the serum in my blood I shouldn't be able to feel any emotions at all even fear, how come I can feel it still?â Ryou guide her to lay on his lap âthat is because you are special, not to mention you have a big heart and you already felt the pain of loosing someone you love the mostâ Mie sigh âbut you also said this serum I would forget about what happened in the past, why I canât forget these things?â Ryou chuckled âas what sensei told us before only you can survive this without losing who you areâ
Mie closed her eyes while Ryou is soothing her back âwhen you succeed in killing the said serum in our veins everything will be back to the way it was and you would be able to fix everythingâ Mie open her eyes and get back to sitting position âbut what if I fail, and I am unable to get rid of this Ryou what if I can't fulfil my promise to you?â Ryou smiled at her and wipe the tears that falls down on her cheeks âyou never left me, and just by staying by my side is enough and I know you can find a cure to thisâ
Mie is shaking and Ryou hugged her tight âthanks for always believing in me even if I fail a couple of times alreadyâ Ryou pat her back and hug her back âI should be the one thanking you for always reminding me I am still human and who I amâ then Mikee smiled and ask permission to get blood from him Ryou asked for a knife then cut himself up and put the blood on the vial mikee had on her pocket.
Mikee stayed a few minutes more and make sure that the cut was healed then she hugged Ryou again who asked her to put back his cuff and rest, when she walk out of the door Maou, Â Kim and Aya are already waiting for her she gave the vial to them and asked them to escort her back to 17 theta to gather her things.
Chuck is already waiting for them near Shoâs quarters she nodded at Chuck who hugged her before knocking Aiba was the one who open the door Mie get inside followed by Chuck Aya and Kim âMajor Masaki I need to speak with Lieutenant Sakuraiâ
Aiba says he is at his chamber and asked Nino to call him up Sho was running down the stairs âLieutenant, I believe you were already informedâ Sho nodded then hugged Mie, while Aya and Kim moved to gather Mieâs things âI guess I would be seeing you around once we are able to gather information from my senseiâs daggerâ
Sho nodded then lift her face âpromise me you wouldnât do anything recklessâ Mie chuckled ânii-chan, I am just on a different quarters but we are still in the same buildingâ Sho shake his head âjust promise me imoto and you would tell me everything from now onâ Mie smiled although shaking her head âhaaaaiiiiâ then Maou and Chuck giggled âI love seeing you too togetherâ Maou commented.
Then Sho hugged Mie tightly and face Chuck âLieutenant Tatum, I would take you responsible if anything happen to my Babyâ Mie rolled her eyes ânii-chanâ Chuck bow his head âI would protect her with my lifeâ Sho nodded and let go of Mie who run towards Aiba and hug him tightly.
âAiba-shii, take care of nii-chan for me and so as yourselfâ Aiba nodded and hug her back, then she faced Nino and give him a hug as well âthanks for earlier, and helping me figure out about the serumâ Nino hug her back âit's nothing just come visit us and play with meâ Mie chuckled and kiss nino on his cheek who blushed
Then finally face Ohno âOh-chan, I would miss being around with you guys and arigato in helping me earlierâ Ohno blushed when Mie give her a kiss as well âtake care of these guys especially my nii-chan and Toma-ponâ Ohno laugh âyeah he is such a babyâ Mie wink âyou said that rightâ
Then Mie hugged Jun this time while whispering âtake action, you know I can help you talk to Maou-kunâ Jun hugged her tight âI know, arigatoâ Mie smiled âjust call me you know my lineâ Jun nodded then Kim and Aya is already waiting for her âalright let's goâ Ohno stopped them âwhat about Toma?â Mie smiled âhe is doing something just tell him I already leftâ
Then the group walked out of the common room, on their way to the elevator Chucked ask âit is really okay to not see himâ Mie nodded âit's better this way I needed to be away from him even just for a couple of days or even until we receive oderâ Chuck nodded âas you wishâ the girls giggled then Aya commented âI am sure Chuck is higher than Mie but how come Mie can command Chuck with just a snapâ Mie looked at them and give them a playful wink.
Aya commented that is because when it comes to boys Mie knows them betterâ Maou put an arm around Mie âwhat did you whisper to Jun earlier?â Mie smiled ânothing, I just informed him to take care of my Nii-chanâ Maou was in doubt and eye Mie suspiciously âMie-kunâ Mie just smiled ârelax, I wouldnât do anything that would harm any of you, specially youâ
