Chapter Twenty-four: Date, set, match!

(Y/n) woke up in her dorm, fully refreshed from a full night's sleep. Hopefully her narcolepsy would not make her faint into sleep today, that would be terrible if she fell asleep randomly in the halls or in a session with her patients.
The female put on her female uniform as her regular one got damaged during training, the skirt thankfully was not as long or as garish as she feared. It was pretty cute and had a bow in the back and on the chest. She tied her hair back with a matching ribbon.
After looking at the uniform and seeing how cute it was, she could not ruin it with her respirator and mask.

She left her room and walked to the tram station to get to the building she was supposed to visit that morning. Building nine, the building of fates.
It was early in the morning and she did not know if the supervisor of building nine would be there this early.
Koisuke Kyuubi.
A man who was said to have a face resembling a fox mask.
His long silver hair split into nine sections to look like the tails of a nine tailed fox.
"I wonder how Kyuubi-nii is today.," (y/n) spoke to herself as she walked up to the building, "I hope he doesn't mind that I'm here to help him out today."
She held the lunch she received from Hitoshi the previous day, she had chilled it so she could eat it safely. "Maybe I can have lunch with him today and we can talk about things.," she smiled to herself.

The woman found the supervisor talking to one of the guards, his voice was muffled and he had his back to her. He had to be wearing his mask.
She waited for him to finish speaking before going up to greet him, "Good morning, Kyuubi-nii. I'm here to help you this morning."
"Good morning, miss (y/n). I hope we work well together.," The man replied and walked with her to the office, "First is the morning roll call. Then we have to start the day's activities."
(Y/n) listened to him as he spoke, she was determined to help him after being assigned to his building for the day.
The first was to do a roll call and check on his prisoners. A few of the prisoners had an illness and needed to be taken to the doctor to be checked on. The icy female got sneezed on. She cleaned her uniform up and helped the inmate get to the medical ward as Koisuke checked all of his other inmates. She returned to the building and put the inmates back in their cells after the doctor had taken a look at them.

She found Koisuke in the office, he was catching up on some paperwork. Some of the other guards were working as well or cleaning the office. She wanted to help and set with helping the cleanup as another guard made tea. It was easy to clean up the office and she helped Koisuke finish his paperwork after that.
The fox-like man expressed his appreciation to her with a cute fox-like smile. (Y/n) followed him and assisted with what she could as well as breaking up fights and giving advice to inmates to help them with their problems. Koisuke's workload was greatly eased thanks to her help with the inmates. Although she most likely had a lot of practice from working with the inmates in building 13. Building 9 was a breeze compared to her usual building. The silver haired man was able to relax a little.

The time came for lunch and Koisuke invited her to stay to eat lunch with him, she accepted and both sat together to eat.
"Thank you for agreeing to work in my building today, miss (y/n).," the fox-like man said, "you were a tremendous help."
"It's no problem, all part of the job.," the female replied, "And my favorite part is meeting and interacting with people."
Koisuke smiled and took a sip of his tea before eating his lunch, he took a bite of the cooked liver he had.
"How is your search for a girlfriend going?," (y/n) asked with her pink and blue eyes looking to the man. Koisuke shook his head, "Not so well. I hoped to find her soon."
"I have faith that you will.," the cold bodied woman said, "You're a respectable and handsome man. You'll find her."
The young woman ate the lunch that was made for her and she realized, this was like a date. It could have been a date with Koisuke.
Her cheeks got a little pink.

"Thank you.," Koisuke replied, "I hope you are right." He took another sip of his green tea. (Y/n) ate the last of her lunch and was about to close the box before she realized that there was another layer on the box.
'Looks like Hitoshi heard about my sweet tooth.,' she thought to herself and picked up one of the little sweets to bite into.
Koisuke still had his lunch that he was eating, (y/n) offered him one of the sweets that was in her box. He took it graciously.
"Have you ever thought about getting a significant other?," Koisuke asked.
"I used to have someone, but I never told him, I was scared that he would say no and that it would ruin our relationship.," the female answered, "But I have thought about it more and do want to find someone."
Koisuke nodded, "We both will find someone."
"Perhaps try dating each other.," the voice of Kiji said behind them.

Both turned to look at the smiling pheasant guard.
"Kiji-nii...," (y/n)'s face was pink like the ends of her hair.
Koisuke thought a little, "That would solve it. Thank you Kiji."
Kiji left the papers he came to deliver on the desk, "Have fun you two.~"
The pheasant man's canary yellow eyes gave a look to the fox-like man before walking to get back to his building.
"Uh, do you want to try? To see if we are compatible?," Koisuke asked the blushing female.
"We can.," she replied, "It would not Hurt."
"Are you free the day after tomorrow?," Koisuke asked.
The cold bodied woman nodded and gave him a smile, "Yes. I am free then."
"Alright, then that will be the when we have our fist date.," the fox-like man said and put his mask back on, "I look forward to it."

They gave each other a bow of politeness and went on their way, (y/n) stopped and went back to give him a hug. Her hug was chilly but it had kindness in it.
She went back to building 13 after she scheduled the date with him, she walked with a spring in her step to the tram station to get to building 13 before walking through the halls. She passed cells and waved at the inhabitants of the cells as she passed them by.
Her mood was high as she walked back to her office with the empty lunch box. She placed the lunch box in her office and walked through the halls to find someone to talk to. She found it in Jyugo. The Japanese teen must have gotten out again.
The pink and blue haired female sighed and walked up, her cold hand placed on his shoulder.
"Jyugo, Why the hell are you out of your cell?," the female asked, "You're going to get in trouble again, little brother."
The teen male flinched from the coldness of her hand, "Hey Yukino. Just wanted to walk around again."

(Y/n) gave him a smile then looked behind him to the little child that was following him, "Oh, Hello there. I'm (y/n) Yukinohana."
the girl wore a red skirt with red suspenders and a white shirt, a white bow was in her black hair. Long white socks under her black shoes. Her large violet eyes looked really cute.
"Do you two know a Guard named Yamato Godai?," the child asked.
"Did he do something?," Jyugo asked and shrugged the cold hand of (y/n) off of his shoulder. The blue and pink haired female kneeled down to the young girl, she looked to be six years old, "Of course."
"What kind of person is he?," the child asked.
Jyugo thought for a second, "Well... I can't tell whether he is serious or just an idiot."
"He's well meaning and pretty nice, a little over enthusiastic at times.," (y/n) said with a smile.
"What does he usually do?," the little girl asked.
Jyugo thought again, "What he does? I dunno. Patrols and training and stuff. Why are you asking?"
(Y/n) noticed it, this was Yamato's daughter.
"I was just curious about what papa does.," the child replied.

That got Jyugo's attention, "Papa? Are you his kid or something?"
"That's right.," The child replied.
"Have you come to visit him?," the cold bodied female asked and stood, she felt a little dizzy from getting up so fast, but steadied herself.
"I don't have any special reason to visit him. I just wanted to tell papa that I hate him.," the child said matter-of-factly, "because he is always breaking his promises to Nade."
'Nade must be her name then.,' (y/n) thought and recognized how the child felt as she went through a similar situation. She wanted to help.
Jyugo and (y/n) stayed to watch the child as it was dangerous.
"Promises?," Jyugo asked.
"Even though he alway says he is on the way to pick me up, he never shows up.," the little girl said, "He doesn't love Nade at all! That's why I hate him... stupid papa."
The little girl sat on the floor with her head on her knees.

"You really wanted him to know you hated him that much, huh?," Jyugo asked.
The little girl sputtered after hearing that, Jyugo squatted down to her height. "You sure do say whatever you want about him.," the teen spoke, "But he does not seem like the kind of man to break a promise to me. He is simple minded and honest to a fault. He's always getting lost, breaking walls, running in the halls and eating tons of rice. He makes me so pissed off at him."
The child listened to the teen talk about her father, (y/n) sat by the two kids to watch over them.
"He never gives up though. Once he sets his mind to something, he won't stop until he completes it.," Jyugo continued, "setting aside his methods, Yamato always works hard and completes his work. He would never break a promise or half-ass anything. But this is just my opinion."

"Liar.," the child said to the inmate, "You're lying! Papa Lied and broke his promise to Nade on purpose!"
"I just said it was an opinion.," Jyugo replied calmly.
The child felt a ice cold hand be placed on her and a chill run through her, it was the woman who wore a uniform for the prison. "Perhaps you should calm down a little, Nade.," the woman spoke, "I know how you feel."
"If it is not that.. then it's because of his job.," the girl said, "He's ignoring Nade because of his job. He doesn't care about Nade because of his job!"
The child ran away after exclaiming that.
Jyugo and (y/n) both jumped up, she had run into the hall with the traps.
They followed her to watch over her.

"You shouldn't go that way.," Jyugo called after her, "it's dangerous."
"What's so dangerous?!," the little girl said in anger, "Forget it! Just leave me alone."
The child stepped onto a trap and a washbasin fell onto her little noggin. Jyugo had a 'I told ya so' look on his face.
"Thank goodness it was just a washbasin. A pair of dumbells fell on me from that one.," the Japanese teen said.
"That could kill someone!," the little girl yelled at the teen and felt a cold hand again on her head. The woman had her hand on the bump.
"Are you okay Nade?," the female asked. She got a nod from the pouting little girl and she removed her cold hand from the child's head, the little girl saw flecks of ice on her fingertips. She looked up and scowled, "We should not be here..."
"What is this place?", the child asked and looked at the chained door.
"Bad news... it's the entrance to the underground cells. There's a ton of really terrible inmates down there.," Jyugo said, "Probably the most dangerous place here."

"Open it.," Nade said and got a glare from Jyugo.
"Why should I?," the teen boy asked.
"We should probably go to my office.," (y/n) said, "I can show you a cool magic trick there."
"No, he disabled all those traps before, I want him to open this!," the little girl said.
Jyugo sighed, "I could, but I won't. There's really bad people down there."
"I'll go by myself then.," the little girl said and broke the door open before running down into the underground area, "I'll be a bad girl then!"
(Y/n) grabbed Jyugo and ran after the child, "Nade!"
They both grabbed the child, "Didn't Yamato tell you not to go into dangerous places like this?!"
The child pulled away from the two, "Papa doesn't care! He doesn't care about Nade! Nade doesn't want to be good, Nade wants to be bad!"
She looked down, "if Nade does that..."
The child was not able to finish her statement as the horrific wails of the dangerous prisoners called out to them, demanding release.

The child backed up into the legs of the teen in fear, the therapist stood out in front of the two as Jyugo held the kid. Nade saw the Device that was set into the older female's back from the backless uniform, it looked like it had to be painful when it was put in. The blue and pink haired woman held her hand out and a Shockwave of cold ran through the underground, her hands were covered in more ice.
Jyugo pulled the kid back, "Come on, she will keep them at bay."
The two turned to leave when the ceiling fell and a group of bodies fell from the floor above.
(Y/n) looked back to see Yamato and the rest of Cell 13 there.
Jyugo looked confused, "What are you guys doing?"
"Sorry... we could not stop Yamato.," rock groaned.
The Japanese teen squatted in front of his friends, "you okay?"
"Playtime was over as soon as Yamato started breaking stuff.," Uno groaned.
The child was speechless when she saw her father. Yamato got up and hugged his daughter, "Nadeshiko! Are you okay?!"
The child began to cry. Yamato checked her for injuries, "you shouldn't have come down here. Haven't I told you not to go into dangerous places like this?"
(Y/n) made sure the inmates in the underground cells, she came back as the group was ready to go.

She led the group back up as Yamato carried his daughter, Nadeshiko.
The cold bodied therapist was happy that everything was settled so she could focus on her work, she felt dizzy again.
She saw a shadow in the corner of her eye, she turned and saw the tall figure she saw in Okinawa. It was covered in that cloak so she could not make out any facial features or other defining features. She felt tired.
It had to be her narcolepsy again, she could not fight the narcolepsy as she fell forward.
Rock caught her, "Yukino!"
Jyugo saw that her eyes was looking to a particular spot. He looked over and felt like there was a presence, but he could not be sure.
The therapist had to be carried back to her office.
