By the time Eiji came back to Ash's little home he put up the jacket on the coat hanger as he sits down on the couch as he yawns.

"I know you're behind me Ash."

Eiji turns around as he looks at Ash, who was behind him, as he smiles at him.

"Well, look at that..you're quite capable."

"Eh? Of what?"

"...Look..I know I came into the department kind of like a mad man. I mean..not the first time but even so. I think you need proper training. I'm not risking shit."

"But I already got the training from the police-"

"THAT Is NOT SHIT When it comes to the streets Eiji!"

"Why the hell are you so worried?! You done this before and you never told me why!"

"...Even You know why I'm like this. Don't bullshit me now. Now. You're on somebody's hit list. Blanca told me."

"...Blanca?"

"Doesn't matter. Just know he's a person that taught me everything I needed to know to live out here. Now I'm here to do the same for you. I don't need you shot out here while I'm not around Eiji."

"I..I'm sorry Ash but..why would they want me dead?"

"To get to me. What else? Come on Eiji! Think here!"

"Well I just came back from work! Sorry if I'm not on the same level as you!"

"Well that can change, if you agree on me giving PROPER training."

"...This has you really shaken up hasn't it Ash?"

Ash fell silent as he looks away as he sighs.

"Im sorry. I.."

Eiji grabs his hand as he smiles at him. Ash looks at him as looks into Eiji's eyes. It helped calmed him down a bit. Just a bit as Eiji smiles at him.

"You have nothing to apologize for. I know you mean well Ash. Just..I never seen you this worked up before. If..if it means a lot to you then I'll do it. You don't have to worry about it too much okay?"

"..Then you will start training tomorrow? When do you have your little shit cop beat?"

"You mean Police job that's very respected?"

"You know what I mean."

"Well, the day after tomorrow."

"So then I'll train you tomorrow."

"Do I get to meet whoever warned you about the target on my back?"

"Yes. He's my teacher on everything that I've known. So if I had to go through it so do you. It is a necessity."

"Ah..Okay."

Eiji would get up as he has his hands on his shoulders. Ash looks at him. He smiles at Eiji as he grabs his hands gently as he looks at his eyes.

"If you do well..well..I'll ask you something. Okay?"

"..What if I dont?"

"I'll still ask you regardless"

They both chuckle as Ash smiles at him. I mean with the police training he had, it won't take as long..maybe.
