Chapter thirteen: Day off.
(Y/n) woke up in her room with her Shiro doll in her arms. She looked around at the familiar and comforting environment. Her first thought was to check on her patients until she realized she was on leave and at home.
The female got up and changed into clothes that were not part of a uniform for the first time in a few days.
The casual clothes felt a little foreign to her now as she was used to her uniform pants and boots
"I wonder if they are all okay without me.," the female said to herself before she heard a notification from her phone. She picked up the device and saw it was from Mitsuru.
A picture of the said broadcaster and the inmates she had become close to, they were all grinning. The message read, 'Waiting for your return!'.
The female smiled at the picture, this was a good work family. They were weird, wild but great.
The female walked down to the living room, her father was already there. He was working on some work with two guards from the prison he was working at.
He had the same icy blue hair as her., however his hair was just icy blue.
"Morning (Father name (F/n)).," the female said and the male looked up.
"(Y/n). Good morning.," the man said and sat up, "Did you sleep well?"
(Y/n) sat down next to her father and nodded, "I did sir."
"Please, you're my daughter. Not my subordinate.," the male said, "Now, what happened?"
"Enki...," The female said and her father stiffened, "Enki-san killed himself to protect everyone..."
"Enki was a good man... I doubted the rumor that he killed that inmate.," The man said as the guards behind him looked to each other, "You two may be dismissed, I need to talk to me daughter."
the two policemen bowed and left the two.
"Your mother told me that you regained your memories of the days you went missing.," (F/n) said, "Could you tell me who took you and what they did."
"They cut out the limiter from my brain. That's why I am colder than you or mom.," the female said, "They made me watch as hey did then made me watch them cut Shiro apart and put him back together. They put something in me to increase my power even more."
The male looked angered at what happened to his daughter.
"Who.," (F/n) demanded.
"They might come after you and mom If I tell you. I don't want anything to happen to you, they sent someone to kill Enki once he knew too much.," she said to her father, "I... Don't want to lose you and mom."
The icy haired male leaned forward in his seat, "Of they do come after us, it is not your fault, it will be theirs."
The young woman looked at her father then looked down.
"The name of the one who framed Enki, Changed jyugo and I, tortured Shiro.... is Elf.," the female said, "He works for an organization and with a man with a scar on his neck. Elf... controls people somehow... forces them to do what he wants."
(F/n)'s face fell, "Have you seen him?"
"Yes. Green eyes, Blond hair, pointy ears, pointy teeth and a grin that is so sadistic it makes you sick.," the female said.
Her father sighed and nodded, "I thought as much. He has been in places before prisoners and people disappeared, I suspected he was behind it. He and the blue haired doctor."
"A doctor?," (y/n) asked.
"Enki and I were working on this together, he told me of the doctor that 'treated' his friend Noriko. His little brother Samon told him after getting information from another child," the older Yukinohana said and cooled the coffee that was brought to him by his wife, "So my own daughter was a victim of those monsters. You mentioned someone named jyugo?"
The female remembered the picture Mitsuru sent to her and pulled out her phone, Mitsuru sent more pictures and it looked like Uno swiped Seitarou's phone to send her messages as well.
(Y/n) showed her parents her friends and patients.
She pointed to the heterochromatic Japanese male, "This is Jyugo."
She pointed to the others and told her parents the names.
"They seem like nice boys, although they are prisoners.," her mother said, "I'm glad you found some good friends."
"So you are doing well in the job that I helped you get?," Her father asked.
"Yes sir, I am doing well and am respected by the others.," she said then paused for a little bit, "I had to reveal my true power."
Her parents' smiles fell.
"You did?," (f/n) asked, "What happened?"
"First there was the tournament, then I was protecting the inmates from a dangerous security system that was out to kill them.," (y/n) explained, "But I am not the only one with powers there, Upa has qigong, jyugo had his blades and Musashi had his flames."
The young woman played with the tea her mother set in front of her and made a flower with it.
"(Y/n), don't play with your drink.," her mother scolded, "You act like a child with your power sometimes."
"It is okay (mother's name (m/n)).," (f/n) said, "I think that she has enough on her mind right now."
"Dad. Enki told me something.," the female said and her parents listened, "He told me about what you told him of our family. He told me that when the time comes, I need to bloom greater than any of the past blooms."
Her father bowed his head and smiled, "I did tell him that. He never saw my power but he does know of the time I bloomed."
"Dad, mom. What was your blooms like?," (y/n) asked.
(F/n) sat back in his chair, "It feels like you are at your limit, but then you feel this surge of energy that makes your body feel light. However when it is overwith, it burns like you are being dipped into hot copper."
"It is just like an adrenaline rush.," her mom said, "Just a temporary increase in your abilities that causes you more harm than good."
"So it is a last resort?," the female asked.
"Precisely. ," her father answered, "Now. What are your plans for today?"
"I...," the female said then looked out of the window to the sparkling ocean, "I want to see the ocean. Go swimming and just think over everything."
"Okay, just be safe.," her parents said, "And thank the guard at the door, he carried you in last night when you fell asleep."
She nodded and got up, she walked out of the door and turned to the man there. "Thank you. I hope you did not get too cold.," the female said, "I don't want to cause you pain."
The guard panicked a bit before saying it was okay and going back into the room to talk to her father about the prison.
She walked to her room and changed into a bathing suit.
A cute one that complimented her body nicely but covered her modestly.
She tied her hair up into a braid and grabbed some things to go with her to the beach.
The walk was just a few minutes down to the water, she chose a safe spot to put the towel and umbrella.
The cold bodied girl applied sunblock after taking off overclothes.
She walked up to the ocean and put her fingers in the water, it felt nice.
A smile graced her face and she walked into the water.
The waves broke along the shore and she swam as she thought.
She thought about what she heard Enki say to Elf, about her friendships with the inmates and guards, about Shiro and about how she would deal with this elf situation.
She swam farther out and felt a bump against her leg, she looked down to see a shark swimming around her. A shark that had a pattern that looked man made printed on its body. The female swallowed and calmly pushed the creature away.
It kept coming back.
She began to swim back to shore when she felt something.
The current changed.
She was caught in a riptide and was struggling to keep above the water, she was too caught up in her thoughts to realize it.
The shark was following her.
She felt herself be pulled underwater by the tide, she felt water enter her lungs as she struggled to breathe. It kept pulling her down, she was losing energy fast.
The water in her mouth burned with salt, her throat was closing up and she could not breathe.
She was terrified.
Her vision and mind began to get cloudy. She felt something like familiar warm hands on her back.
"Yuki, you need to be more careful."
(Y/n) was on the shore when she came to.
Her mouth did not taste salt but alcohol, her chest hurt.
Her body was sore.
She could have sworn she felt a hand on her head lift away and a shadow pass by her.
A splash was heard and the female slowly got up as she was sore.
A large tail of a shark dipped below the water, she rubbed her eyes after she saw that.
She looked to the sand beside her and saw marks on it like something was dragged onto shore, her. Some more marks beside her and the shape of a body was clearly seen.
Someone saved her.
She rubbed her mouth, alcohol was not her favorite thing to have.
She stopped, and tasted the flavor again.
Awamori.
Why was she tasting that? She was not in or near Okinawa.
The female struggled to get up and heard the clatter of metal, she looked around.
There were rocks beside her on the Sandy beach but nothing else, nobody was there to tell her what happened.
Only whoever saved her, but they did not want to be seen.
(Y/n) walked closer to the water, "Hello? Is someone there?"
No answer.
She looked down at her skin, her chest had red marks in the shape of hands on it.
She was given resuscitation and mouth to mouth.
"So... thank you?," she said, "If you are still here."
The woman walked back to her things and packed it up, she heard more splashing.
She turned in time to see a kimono and a tail that had metal bits on it disappear below the water.
Her eyes widened, was that what saved her? Was it the spirit she saw in Okinawa?
If it was an Okinawa spirit, that would explain why she tasted Awamori.
She felt her sore chest and put the overclothes she brought with her on, She needed to get home and go take a bath.
She took a look at her phone when she saw it flashing, she had another message from Uno on Seitarou's phone. It was Jyugo and Samon affected by one if Nico's crazy effects. They looked like pompoms. It was hilarious and adorable at the same time.
That made her smile. She sent a message back and got one almost instantly from Seitarou. He was asking how her day off was.
She responded with a picture of herself, the message with it read 'ocean day did not go as planned'.
(Y/n) put her phone away and packed up, she looked back to the water.
She hoped to see what it was that was out there.
There was a shark that was bumping her but not attacking, was that a friend to the thing that saved her?
The young woman picked up the bag and walled off of the beach, feeling like she was being watched.
The house was just as she left it when she returned.
Pristine and clean. But her parents were not there.
The young woman looked for them and found a message on the counter, 'We had to go into the offices today for work. Please relax. -mom and dad.'
(Y/n) smiled and stretched, she had the whole house to herself unless her dad left a guard to watch her again.
She looked around to check if there was a guard then flipped the card over.
'Ps, no guard this time. Don't misbehave.'
She laughed at her dad's note, he worried so much. The only misbehaving she did was become friends with prisoners and not tell Hajime of they broke out again.
She would talk to them and return them to their cell. Cell 13 was fun but so mischievous.
(Y/n) walked to the bathroom and took a bath.
The female heard how great hot springs felt, but she could not feel them as they would raise her temperature and cause her to become sick and weakened.
She wished that she could do things like other people could, but she had her limitations.
No hot food, no hot areas, no raising her body temperature, and no physical contact that will result with a raised temperature.
She sighed, so many rules. But they were to protect her.
She ended her bath and dried off.
She put on some comfy houseclothes and used some of the facial products that Kiji gave her before, the products seemed to really work as her skin was clearer and softer than ever before.
She saw her phone buzzing again, it was Mitsuru again.
This time with Momoko.
The warden did not seem to be amused in the first picture but was smiling in the second.
(Y/n) responded to the message with a picture of her and a message of encouragement for the prison warden.
She smiled at the response Mitsuru had, "Nothing for me?"
She replied to the noisy male with a small playfully sarcastic response.
The woman put her phone down and smiled at the doll on her bed, she picked the phone back up and sent a thank you message to everyone who gave her a gift.
(Y/n) felt her chest again.
Whoever saved her knew what they were doing, she needed to rest if their chest compressions on her broke a rib.
She laid down on her bed and looked at the plush beside her.
The small and adorable face that looked like Shiro's made her happy, Shiro used to make her happy. He was her best friend and she had fallen in love with him. She was going to confess if the accident had not happened.
Her smile faded and she looked to the ceiling of her room.
A small spider Web was in the corner, how was there a spider in her cleaned room? Did the maid service not see it?
She got up and got a cup, the female carefully caught the spider in the cup.
She looked at it, it seemed to be a non venomous species.
"Let's put you in the garden. That would be a better place for you.," the young woman said, "You would be able to get tasty bugs out there and won't be vacuumed up by the maids out there."
The young woman put the spider in the garden and smiled, "Here. This should be safe. Just don't catch the attention of birds and you will have a long life."
She got up and went back inside, it felt a little different inside.
It was like the entire air had changed in the house.
(Y/n) looked around and saw nothing wrong.
The front door was opened though.
"I swear, if the maids did this... no I should not think that. It had to be a mistake.," she spoke aloud and closed the door, "Oh well. Time for a nap, I haven't been able to sleep well at prison because of paperwork and nightmares."
She walked to her room and flopped onto her bed, "It has been an interesting day."
