“But I don’t know what to tell him to convince him otherwise..!” She said. “What do I do..? What do I say to convince him..?”
 
Kaguya didn’t know what else to say, turning her head away and crying softly into the floor.
 
He wrapped her fingers gingerly after he carefully cleaned them and offered to help her eat if her hands hurt too much, which he was sure they did.
 
Kaguya accepted his help, fingers too painful to even move as the exposed nail bed rubbed uncomfortably against the gauze.
 
Kaguya picked up her head in confusion, bags starting to form under her silver eyes, and she stared at him in confusion. “Free me..? Why?”
 
Kaguya frowned softly, her tired face scrunching up a bit. “I do too..” She whispered.
 
Kaguya could only hope that Yoichi would keep his promise, going to sleep that night with her hands held gingerly to her chest.
 
With her hands tender and vulnerable, Hakaku tried to make them some kind of painful motivation for her. But Yoichi always stopped it as soon as it started.
 
Kaguya was grateful, always hiding behind Yoichi when he stepped in. “I told you all I know..!”
 
Kaguya held onto the back of Yoichi’s clothes tightly, flinching away from Hakaku when he snapped at her.
 
"Move." Hakaku growled. Yoichi shook his head.
"I will no longer sit back and watch this." He replied, "I'm going to take her somewhere she'll be safe, from you and Douma."
 
Yoichi could feel Kaguya shaking behind him, head her terrified breathing. “I really don’t know anything else..!” She whimpered quietly to him.
 
"I'm sick and tired of your lying!" Hakaku unsheathed his blade and moved quickly around Yoichi, swinging his weapon hard only to have Yoichi block the attack with his own blade.
"I will not hesitate to kill a fellow Pillar if I believe him tl be a danger to others." Yoichi growled.
 
Kaguya held in a scream of terror, unable to react besides turning her head away in fear. When she didn’t feel the pain of a blade cutting through her, she dared to look at what was happened.
 
Yoichi had Hakaku's blade locked, both glaring at each other with hatred.
"Leave." Yoichi demanded. Hakaku glared even more.
"We'll never find him if you keep babying her."
"And we won't find him if she's dead. Leave."
 
Kaguya cowered behind Yoichi’s back, feeling sweat forming on her from the adrenaline and fear. Was she somehow manipulating Yoichi? Perhaps she was playing him to just keep herself safe.
 
Hakaku sheathed his sword and left in a huff, Yoichi waiting before he sheathed his own.
"I tire of this," he muttered, "I'm getting you out of here.."
