SAINTS (1x1 w/DarkMukip)

“I have to report back to them, otherwise they’ll think I stole what I was supposed to deliver.” She said. “Then we’ll both really be in danger.”
 
Motochika didn’t even have time to react, flat on his back with Nana on top of him. “You just don’t get it, do you!” Her kakugan was flared angrily, her face pale from exhaustion. “They catch one whiff of me and we both die! They will eat you alive, and kill me as an example! I do what they say or I suffer!” She hovered over him, finger pointed in his face. “I have to show them I’m not dead, that’s the only chance I have to keep both of us alive!”
 
He stared up at her, fighting his blush, before scowling, "Why join up with them, then, if they're such assholes, huh?! If you had just stayed with me like I asked, this wouldn't have happened! I don't wanna 'get it' cuz there ain't nothin to get! I wanna protect you, and I can't do that if you keep pushin me away!"
 
“You can’t do anything anyway! You’re weak! A human, you don’t stand a chance against a ghoul!” She argued back.
 
He scowled, beyond angry with her, "I'm not weak. Just because I'm human, doesn't mean I can't hold my own against a ghoul. Stop being selfish and let me fuckin help you."
 
“I will be selfish!” He could see tears forming in her eyes. “You’re the only person left I have! I can’t be the one that gets you killed!” She was barely holding back her crying now.
 
He was quiet for a moment, "I can't be the reason you get killed either, Nana..." He said softly, "It's my fault yer even with them...let me make it right..."
 
“I’m with them by my own choice, anyone could’ve come along and found me out like you did.” She said.
 
Nana looked sad by his question. “I don’t know, maybe, you shouldn’t have been involved with me anyway.”
 
“Right now you just have to let me go, trust that I’ll come back.” Nana said softly.

Kojurou had been patrolling alone for weeks now, Megohime’s leg still healing and leaving Kojurou without a partner once more. He was oddly used to it, but it still left him vulnerable.
 
He frowned heavily and made a bold move, leaning up and kissing her gently.

He didn't mind too much, he would rather Megohime rest and recover than force herself to work. He kept to the places Masamune didn't frequent while it was just him, it made things easier.
 
Nana sat there in shock, face flushing deep pink. Was he kissing her? Why? She couldn’t think straight, couldn’t bring herself to pull away.

Things seemed unusually tense with the ghouls in the area, things seemed off somehow, and more and more ghouls kept popping up dead.
 
He held it for a moment before pulling back, "Sorry...just wanted to show ya that I trusted ya.."

It was odd, to say the least, but Kojurou kept note of the numbers. Maybe there was another big fish trying to take Masamune's pond.
 
“Yeah..” She could hardly breathe, could barely talk, only nodding like an idiot.

If there was another ghoul trying to poach his territory, he hadn’t heard of anything.
 
He blushed and grinned, "Stunned?"

He made a noise, some people avoiding him, others making it obvious they were watching him. Perhaps they were waiting for him to be alone.
 
Nana sputtered incoherently, turning her head away. “That changes nothing.” She muttered.

Kojurou could feel more than one gaze burning into him, he was in danger and had no way to avoid it, he could only prolong the inevitable.
 
"Hai, hai. If ya say so." He said, grinning more.

Kojurou kept the path before he was stopped by a pack of ghouls.
"You aren't welcome here, Katakura."
"I'm not here to cause trouble." Kojurou said, "I'm just conducting a personal census."
 
Were they all Masamune’s men? It was likely that even though he was avoiding places Masamune frequented, Masamune was still aware of Kojurou and keeping eyes on him. He was still in danger though, regardless if Masamune was there or not.
 
They didn't look like Masamune's men, but perhaps they were merely hired by him to keep tabs where he couldn't.
"Leave." They said.
"When I'm done." Kojurou replied.
 
The group didn’t look pleased at his answer, and Kojurou spotted a few angry kakugan flared. “You think we’re gonna tell you anything?”
 
"I don't expect you to." He answered before his clicked the button on his briefcase. The ghouls launched at him and he pulled out his quinque to defend himself.
 
The first ghoul to reach Kojurou swung hard to slam his club like Kagune into his head, an angry scowl on his face. If none of the ghouls were masked though, did that mean they didn’t intend to let Kojurou go alive?
