I walk towards P/N and kneels down next to him. Two of jaguars leans their body on me. I gently rub their head, as I stare at P/N with sad gaze. Tears begin to stream down my cheeks, as I grief over the death of my best friend. P/N...

Thank you for everything

-Please Save Him-

Y/N P.O.V

I hear rapid footsteps coming towards us. I turn my head to see Homura. She have knife in her hand, as she rushes towards us. I can see a look of anger in her eyes, as she stares directly at me.

The jaguars notices her and growls. But before they could do anything, Kohaku appears out of nowhere and apprehend Homura. She pins Homura into the ground, tying her up. I turn my head slightly to see Kinro, Ginro, Ukyo, and Magma are all here.

"Senku... Y/N! Are you both okay?" Kinro asked. I blink my eyes in surprise. I don't expect him to ask my condition. After all, I'm not with the Kingdom of Science anymore.

"I'm in 10 billion percent perfect shape. What about you, Y/N? Are you hurt?" Senku said. I turn to look at him, to see him already looking at me. I just nod my head, still in shock over what happened.

I bury P/N by a tree. I place a bunch of flowers on top of his grave. I place my hand on top of it as tears starts to stream down my cheeks.

"Thank you so much for everything, P/N. I'll never forget you. I'll visit your grave every chances I get. I promise. I love you, buddy..." I said, in a soft tone. I stand up and turns around.

Kinro and Magma picks up Tsukasa with a stretcher. I gently hold his hand as we make our way back to the headquarter of his Empire. I turn my head to look at Tsukasa. He's breathing heavily, no doubt because of the pain.

"Please hold on, Tsukasa..." I said. He just gives me a weak smile. I feel his hand squeezing mine softly. I bit my lips, trying to control my emotion. I have to act strong for Tsukasa.

I kneel down next to Tsukasa, still holding his hand. He's telling Ukyo where to find the statues he have destroyed. I'm shocked to know that he remembers where the statues are located.

He clutch his chest with his free hand. I can see him gritting his teeth in pain. "You shouldn't talk too much in your condition, Tsukasa..." I said, staring at him with a sad gaze.

"No... I have to finish it..." he said. I just bit my lips, tearing up at what he said. I turn my head to look at Ukyo who's writing the directions.

"You remember every single one?" Ukyo asked, as he turns to look at Tsukasa. "Of course... I never forget a single one..." he said, nodding his head. I just look down, while still caressing his hand.

I can hear the sound of footsteps. I turn my head to see Senku. He have some equipment in his hands as he kneels down next to Tsukasa. I just keep my focus on my boyfriend.

I hear a yelp and turn my head to see Mirai. I notice Yuzuriha next to her. She let out a laugh. "I just got worried about my brother. But they didn't let me see him. So I have to sneak in..." she said. My eyes soften at her reasoning.

"Are you okay, Mirai?" I asked. She turns to look at me and nods her head. "I'm fine, Nee-San" she said. I smile softly at her and turn to look at Yuzuriha. Out of the corner of my eyes, I can see Senku turning to look at her as well.

"Yuzuriha... just in time. There's some needle work for you to do..." he said. I shiver at the face Senku's making. He's looking really creepy right now. I can see Tsukasa and Grandpa Kaseki doing the same.

"Eriously-Say? We don't have any anesthetic. You really want to do a surgery?" Gen said, looking pale in his face. Senku let out a chuckle at what he said.

He turns to look at Tsukasa. "Don't underestimate the Strongest Primate High Schooler. You don't need anesthetic, do you, Tsukasa?" He said, smirking at him. Tsukasa also smirks. "Of course..." he said.

"Wahh... Mirai-Chan!" Yuzuriha said. I turn to look at her to see Mirai have passed out in her arms. My eyes widened at the sight. "Mirai!" I yelled out, in panic.

"She is mentally still 6 years old..." Grandpa Kaseki said. I let out a sigh. "Kohaku... can you look after her?" I said, turning to look at Kohaku who just came. She nods her head and picks up Mirai.

"Go with them, Y/N..." Tsukasa said. I turn my head to look at him. "But..." I said. He smiles softly at me. "I don't want you to watch me as I'm going through the surgery. Please... just go with Mirai and Kohaku" he said. My eyes soften at what he said. I just nod my head. I lean down and place a soft kiss on his cheek. I stand up and leave the cave, heading to where the two girls are.

I sit down next to Mirai. She moves to sit on my lap. I gently embraces her. "Senku will do his best to save Tsukasa. Let's put our trust in him, okay?" I said, as I place my chin on top of her head. I can feel Mirai nodding, but she didn't say anything.

Time-skip

I decided to stand by the cave, waiting for Senku to finish Tsukasa's surgery. Mirai is currently sleeping and Kohaku is keeping her company. I have to talk to Senku about something.

Senku finally walks out of the cave, letting me know that the surgery is complete. He turns to look at me after noticing me. I move from cave's wall and walks towards him.

"The surgery is a success... don't worry" he said, as he notices the look on my face. I nod my head, while sighing softly. "But it's still not enough to keep him alive, right?" I said. He nods his head, solemnly. I look down as I start to cry. My whole body starts to tremble.

"Please... find a way to save him, Senku. I don't want to lose him. If you need a lung donor. Take mine..." I said. His eyes widened at what I said. "You'll die, Y/N! Are you crazy?" He said. I shake my head at what he said.

"I know that! But I don't care! Mirai still needs her brother. I'm doing this for her. I've lost everything when I lose my sister. And... and when you..." I stop mid-sentence. My voice starts to crack as I struggle to form the words.

I feel myself getting pulled into a hug. I froze at the sudden gesture. Senku never attempt any sort form of affection when we were together. It's a surprise that he would hug me.

"I'll find other way to save Tsukasa. I won't let him die. You don't have to sacrifice yourself..." he said. I just lean my head against his chest as I start to cry softly. He runs his hand through my hair.

"I don't want to lose him..." I cried out, as I clutch the front of his shirt. Senku pulls away and nods his head. He places his hands on my shoulders.

"Yeah, I know... he's the one who fixed your broken heart after I broke it. I'm so sorry for what I did, Y/N. I'm sorry that I failed to show you how much I truly love you. I regretted everything. But I accept the fact that you're happier with him. I will save Tsukasa... one way or another. That's my way to make things right with you..." he said. I can hear the determination in his voice. I just nod my head at what he said, knowing he's going to find a way to keep Tsukasa alive.
