Chapter from before...
Sayo couldn't bear to look anymore, after all this time when Takashi left for a mission she had been training to become an assassin like him. Every day she trained so she could be by Takashi's side and protect him as he protected her. She was done waiting. She was going to tell Takashi that she loved him once and for all. All of her emotions will be set free... Poor girl... Poor soul... The truth always hurts.
____________________________________________
Takashi heads to the kitchen area of the Night Raid base, but before he goes there, he heads outside to take a breath of fresh air and mediated. He leans back against a balcony and takes in the cool breeze and sun rays, he focuses all of his firey aura inside his lungs and heart, he then expels out some flames from the nostrils just a like a dragon does when he charges up its flames that are formed from breathing in air and expelling out the flames within its body( There are many methods on how a dragon breathes fire, but one thing is sure and that most of the flames are centralized at the nostrils and windpipes of a dragon. It depends on the Mythos of the Dragon and its elemental type of course).
But Takashi was a Primordial Dragon, so his flames were at the apex of all Dragon Bloodlines. The only thing he needed to do was learn how to control his dragon flames and cultivate it to even higher heights of power. For cultivation never stops. Cultivation was kind of like evolution, both ideals deal with growing more adapted with your body form and changing yourself to become more powerful and able to survive anything.
Takashi closed his eyes and drifted away into his mindscape. He focuses on all the missions and fights he has done in his life since his reincarnation. So far he had used most of his Primordial Dragon powers in the form of Dragon-Force and the power of Ryuyami to easily slaughter all of his opponents/targets, however many of his targets were just ground tropes and cannon fodder, they were like dogs chained by the might of the Empire. They obey over word and law the Prime Minister spouts as well as the Young Emperor who has no fucking idea on how to run an Empire. The Prime Minister himself took control of everything while the Young Emperor was just a puppet, in the end, The Prime Minister was the one working in the shadows and corrupting the Empire by spreading unjust prejudice.
'The stronger enemies are drawing closer. I can sense them.' Takashi visons a powerful icy aura, it was a females aura as he could see the outline of her feminine body that was composed of blueish and hellish red aura inside the darkness of his mindscape. 'That must be the Ice Generals aura. Najenda wasn't messing around with how powerful she is, I can sense her psychotic and bloodthirsty aura miles away,' Takashi clenched his fist.
Then inside his mindscape, he could sense 5 more powerful aura signatures. Each with their own distinct aura force and color. It was clear that each of them wielded a Teigu. Takashi had to be at his Apex Form at all time if was to survive in this world. There is no second chance in this world. Its kill or be killed. Survival of the fittest.
Takashi finished his mediation and opened his fiery red eyes. He had cultivated some knowledge and sharpen his mind by meditating. He cleared his mind of all emotions and was ready for today.
When he looks ahead he sees Sayo walking on to the balcony of the Night Raid Base. "There you are. I have been looking for you," Sayo said with a cute bright smile as she shyly curls her long raven black hair in a circle. She then pushed back when a strand of her gorgeous black hair away from one of her eyes so that her whole young beautiful face was seen. The sunlight shined over her stunning pale face and body. At the moment she was wearing training gear, black compression shorts, and a white sleeves top.
Takashi stands up from his meditation position, "What are you doing here?"
Takashi at them moment is wearing black jeans and a black sleeveless t-shirt that showed off his muscular and well-toned biceps, he was incredibly in shape and built like a god for his young age(17).
"You know all the times you went out on missions I have been training and fighting with some members of Night Raid. I am thankful for them taking care of me and also helping me getting stronger so that I can protect myself. But most of all I am grateful for having you... You saved me from what was about to happen and-" Sayo was about to say something else.
"But I didn't save Ieysau." Takashi gritted his teeth as he remembered what happened to his comrade. He vowed to never let anyone else die, but he let Ieysau down, it made him angry just thinking about.
"You did everything you can, and so did Tatsumi, don't be hard on yourself. Because of you, I get to live another day. But I will never forget Ieysau...None of us will so don't put that burden on yourself. Takashi to me...You are everything...I don't know what I would do without you..." Sayo places her head against Takashi's chest and holds back her tears.
Takashi calmed himself down and cleared his mind, he didn't want his fiery anger and rage to take over his body and mind. It's just the image of Ieysau struggling for his last breath drove him wild. The Empire will pay with everything Takashi had, all of his hatred would engulf the Empire in Flames. But he must fall into the darkness...
Takashi holds Sayo tenderly on her back. "You need to rest Sayo, so that you can become stronger and ready for our training together,"
Sayo's face pressed hard against Takashi's buff chest, "There is something I need to tell you Takashi," She mutters, her cold breath prickles Takashi's chest.
"What is it?" Takashi asked with an annyoed expression on his face, there was another mission today and he planned to train with Akame, Bulat, and Tatsumi.
"Are you going to leave us Takashi?" Sayo grips Takashi's sleeveless black shirt harder, she was about to cry on Takashi's chest.
"What are you talking about? I will never leave you," Takashi's eyes furrowed as he held her.
In the background was Ieysau's grave.
"I want to be with you forever Takashi" She looks up at him her opal eyes were shaking and her glossy shiny lips were trembling.
"Huh? Sayo what are you doing? This is-" Takashi doesn't know what the hell is Sayo talking about or doing, suddenly Sayo kisses him before he can say another word.
The sun shines brighter upon the two. Sayo had just shown her love and was now going to let out all of her emotions. She kissed Takashi harder, her pillowy lips pressed more against his lips. Takashi's red eyes widen. His mind was blown away. Forbidden love. She was like a sister to him. Now things have changed.
