I haven't been updating a lot these days. Sorry for that. The reasons will be explained in my BOR.
- - - - - - -

You walked down the street, a paper bag hugged between your chest and hands.

You had promised Mr.Iwa to buy the needed ingredients for today's meal.

And here you were, walking back home... Well, almost home.

JUNGLE was like a second family to you, but you kinda felt... Unwanted or so, despite the fact you being a J-Rank.

Lost in thoughts, you finally reached your wanted destination. 

Sukuna was the first to greet you, waving his scythe in random directions.

"You're gonna cause problems if you continue waving that thing in unknown, even for you, directions." You warned him, leaving the groceries on the coffee table.

"Yes, ma'am." He pouted, jumping on the couch.

"Kids nowadays." You chuckled.

"Heard that."

"It's not like I did not want you to hear it, dummy."

"Meanie."

"I know." You smiled sheepishly at the young boy, making him sent his most vicious glare he could ever make. Which looked like a kitty trying to seek attention and try to be somewhat mad at his owner. The combination from those two things were equal to a huge puffed cheeks and shining bright eyes.

"Aaaah. You're so cuteeeeeh." You used your most childish voice you could ever make.

"If you were not from JUNGLE, I swear I'd kill you." Sukuna muttered.

You chuckled lightly, gazing over to the training part of the secret base of JUNGLE.

You there saw the man who recently entered your mind and decided to not leave it.

Yukari Mishakuji.

The swordsman of the Green Clan.

He's the best one there is.

At least you thought so.

From what you have seen from him.

He swung his blade at the target dummy, slicing it's head away.

He had a few drops of sweat that rolled down his forehead.

He wore nothing but a black tank top and a pair of tight jeans.

Although he was a big woman sometimes, with all this beauty masks and everything, when it came to training - he was always there.

"I'm done for today. Say~, Nagare, when are we going to have a mission? I feel like my body is starting to give up on me." Yukari whined, leaving his sword next to the table.

He brushed away the sweat drops with the towel, sitting on the couch, resting his body.

You stayed silent as you glanced at him, holding the urge to bight your lower lip.

That's why you turned around, pulling your PDA out, searching for something new through the JUNGLE net.

There, as usual, we're the boring conversations between the lower rank members.

You clicked your tongue, remembering that you also were once like them.

But now you were the highest rank there is.

So you didn't care for them.

Then, out of the sudden, pictures of Yatogami Kuroh, the Black Dog and Neko, the Strain cat, popped up. 

"Interesting..." You smirked.

Once Yukari told you about his connection with the young black haired boy. And about his former master, Ichigen Miwa.

You thought nothing though. It was his life. Something you should not bother to think about.

But...

Yatogami Kuroh and Neko were worth points... So, why not earn some points?

°°°°

"I, Yatogami Kuroh, clansman of the Silver King will protect the place we call home! We will protect it from JUNGLE."

"Yeah, yeah. Enough with the speech, I'm starting to get bored." You mumbled, jumping of the clock tower.
"Who are you? You are from the higher ranks of JUNGLE? Do you know about a guy named Yukari Mishakuji?!" He asked-yelled at you.

"Geez boy. You ask so many questions. My name is something you should not be concern about. And whether I know Yukari Mishakuji or not is also something that does have to do nothing with you." You rolled your eyes at your own explanation.

These days you were so bad with forming proper sentences. Probably because you always bit your tongue when you were not concentrated.

"You don't know how much it has to do with me..." He mumbled.

You raised an eyebrow, questioning him. But he did not answer.

He charged at you, his sword crashing with your own blade. Your blade was somewhat similar to the blonde woman from the U-Rank, Douhan Hirasaka.

It was comfortable for you to use. The first weapon that caught your eye when you first started practising such things.

His silver-colorless aura from the sword started surrounding your green colored one.

Out of nowhere, you heard a meow and the images in front of you suddenly started messing up.

"Keep it out, kitty!" You growled, making slow circles with your body, prepared for anything.

You were frustrated because of the fact that Hisui Nagare told you not to harm the girl. She was important for him apparently.

"Leave from here now, or I don't have any choice but to kill you." Kuroh yelled, lunging towards you, his sharp blade cutting the right side of your hip, blood dripping down from the new opened wound.

"Damn it." You cursed for not being able to predict that silly attack.

You hit him in the face with your fist, making him stumble back.

But that didn't stop him from hitting you with the stupid side of his sword, making you groan from the new wave of pain.

You lost balance, your feet shaking, vision blurry.

"What are you doing, (Y/N)?!" You heard a familiar voice scream.

"Yu-Yukari..." You breathed out, losing consciousness from the hit in the head.

°°°°

"She knows that she should not mess between me and Kuroh!" Yukari hissed at Mr. Iwa who raised his hands in surrender.

"Don't blame me. I did not even knew she'd go out for missions." The old man explained.

Yukari glanced at the unconscious body that lied on the couch.

'(Y/N)... Why did you go alone...'

°°°°

You woke up, coughing like crazy.

You hissed from the pain of the sudden movements you made, wishing you haven't done them in the first place.

"What happened?" You mumbled, lying back on the couch.

"You decided to be stubborn as usual and not obey some orders."

"I don't think I have broken an order, Yukari. Plus I just went to get some points." You smirked.

"You know that Yatogami Kuroh is only for me! I am going to finish him. Not you, nor Sukuna, even Nagare!" He yelled at you, his fist crashing with the small coffee table, which cracked underneath his fist.

You gulped, your (e/c)  eyes staring into his orbs that contained anger right now.

 "Sorry. I..." You were cut off by his sudden hug, which took you back for a few seconds. 

 "I was mostly afraid that my beautiful flower would get hurt..." He brushed away a few strokes of your hair.

 "Your beautiful f-flower? Eh?!" You raised an eyebrow at him. 

 He only smirked, leaning closer to you.

 And closer.

 Till he kissed your forehead. 

 "You serously are weird, Yukari Mishakuji." You chuckled, your cheek colored in pink.

 "I do not consider myself as a strange being. More like... A person who tries to seek the beautiful in everything. Though I am not sure what beauty I found in you." He poked your chest, just where the heart was. "Probably this. And the fact that you are so... You look peaceful. You mean no harm in the sight of the people who do not know you like we do. They do not know that underneath this, hids a well prepared person, who's ready to kill you if she has to. You are just like a rose, my lovely (Y/N). Beautiful, but with harmful thorns. Yes, that is why I am attracted to you." 

 From his speech, you only asked about one thing.

 "You like me?"

 He looked at you in disbelief, but then shook it off as he smiled warmly. 

 "Yes, I do."

 "Yukari's got a girlfriend!" Sukuna yelled, laughing. 

 "Shut up, kiddo!"

 Gosh, if someone had a camera... They'd capture a picture of two tomatos. 

 You thought for a second, chuckling. From all relationships in the past, this one just started in the most weird way there is. And things escalated quickly from one thing to another. 

 But this Kuroh, helped you a lot. 

 If it wasn't him, Yukari probably wouldn't have noticed anything.

 It is lame written, but I wrote it just as I was losing my muse once more. The next one will be better, I promise. I hope so...
