______Senju Pov______
The moment I opened my eyes, I immediately tried to sit up, only to have an intense pain run through my entire body and make me lie down against my will.
I felt confused, and moving my neck just enough so that it didn't hurt too much, I started to look around. I seemed to be in a bed in a room with smooth white walls, which looked like a hospital room. This brought back memories of my fight against South, and Yuji beating him within seconds.
I let out a disappointed sigh as I remembered how easily I was being outclassed. While Yuji was clearly stronger, I seemed to have stagnated in these two years, since I wasn't even able to stand up to South. So how did I deserve the right to be called the leader of the strongest gang?
If Yuji hadn't shown up, that would have been the end of Brahman. Knowing this frustrated me, because it made me realize that I was weak, unable to protect my own gang.
"Shit." I muttered, my fingers clutching the bed sheet tightly as I felt the tears pooling in the corner of my eyes.
"You woke up, how are you feeling?"
I startled when I suddenly heard a voice, my eyes moving quickly to the door of the room, Yuji standing in the doorway while he had a worried expression on his face.
I bit my lip and looked away, ignoring the pain in my body to wipe the tears from my eyes with my hand.
"..." I noticed the silence, him walking toward me and sitting down beside me.
I refused to face him, whether out of shame or self-deception.
"South was arrested and the Rokuhara Tandai was broken up. I don't know how the hierarchy between the gangs is working, but it looked like Brahman took over as the most powerful gang." I frowned as I listened to him.
That shouldn't be considered a victory, not when we haven't beaten our own strength .
"Hey, we're allies, have you forgotten?" he spoke, almost as if he could guess what I was thinking. "I couldn't just watch."
When I heard him, I fought the pain in my body to sit up, turning to him.
"I'm not angry with you." I spoke, my brow furrowing as I felt my ribs ache. "I'm angry at myself!"
I saw him frown, his face showing as if he knew immediately what I was talking about.
"I couldn't do anything against him! As much as I was giving it my all, in the end, if you didn't show up, I would have been defeated!" I said, feeling myself losing control of my tone as tears began to fill my eyes again. "How can I be the leader of the gang, when I can't even win a fight?!"
I was unable to stop the tears from staining my face, Yuji looking at me with an unreadable expression, which made me look away. Why was I losing control? Why just in front of him?
I shook my head and just as I was about to wipe my face, my eyes widened in surprise when I felt a pair of arms pull me into a hug. The sudden movement made me freeze, not knowing how to react.
"Senju, you are strong, the simple fact that you never give up makes you truly strong. Your will to not want to lose is what makes you someone anyone should fear." Resting my chin on his shoulder, I listened to Yuji say, listening to his words carefully as I hesitated to move. "Even if you are not able to defeat someone now, you will overcome this, because you are the strong girl who came to challenge me on my own territory, the girl who hit me with a kick that I believe I feel to this day."
Feeling his fingers wiping away my tears, I couldn't help but look into his face.
"Then keep your head up and continue without worry, for if you feel you are in a dead end, I will help you."
At that moment, I understood my feelings towards Yuji.
Before, I believed it was just a small infatuation, an interest in his strength and the fact that he treated me differently from most boys, who didn't see me as a girl because of my appearance.
But now, with the support that I doubted even my brother could give me, I understood my feelings for this boy.
"Come on-"
Completely ignoring everything around me, letting only my emotions guide me at that moment, I grabbed Yuji's shoulders, and interrupting anything he would say, I pulled him to me, my eyes closing as I put aside any rational thought for the moment.
Smooch.

____Yuji Pov____
When it came to comforting someone, I had no skill for it, but Senju was someone I liked, and to see his aura slowly weakening was not pleasant. With my encouraging words, at least that's what I hoped they would be, I tried to be as honest as possible.
Senju was strong, one of the strongest I had met, even among the women I had met on my trip around the world. There was no way I could see her confidence is shaken by a simple defeat, so I tried hard to work something out in my mind. When I pulled her into a hug, it was something done almost involuntarily , since I barely thought when I did it, but I worked with it.
Of course, despite seeing the positive effects I caused with my words considering her aura slowly regaining its form, I didn't expect any reaction from the girl, not when she was in that state.
So being pulled into a kiss was really something that took me by surprise, no matter how fast my reaction time was.
'Well, it's not what I expected, but I can work with it.'
When I felt our lips touch, I could only describe it with one word: Magic. It was a short kiss, and as we parted, the feeling of wanting to continue went through my whole body, but the moment I looked at her face, which despite showing embarrassment, had eyes full of anxiety and anticipation, I couldn't help myself.
There was no need for words or gestures. It was clear how we did not want this to be over, and I made sure to do our bidding.
Knowing of her bruised body, I was gentle, carefully placing my hands on her waist as I pulled her close, our bodies pressing against each other as collided with our lips in a kiss, which although simple, carried even more emotions than before.
I could feel the girl's inexperience, but it didn't matter, with me guiding the girl with our lips as I enjoyed every second of that sensation.
The kiss, like the previous one, didn't last long, but that was enough for both of us. There was no need to rush things.
As our lips parted, I felt the girl nestle into my embrace, a pleasant silence filling the whole room as we just enjoyed our contact with each other. It was clear that our relationship would change from this moment on, but there was no need to think about it now.
"..."
Bam!
Suddenly, the door was suddenly opened with a thud, Senju freaking out due to the sudden noise.
"Senju, are you okay?!"
When I turned to see the person responsible for interrupting our moment, my eyes landed on a Takeomi Akashi full of bandages on his face, Senju's older brother.
When he saw us in that position, he seemed to freeze for a moment, before he just nodded with an unreadable expression, turning to the door of the room and leaving while slowly closing the door.
"..."
I didn't understand what had just happened, so I turned my attention to Senju, who was looking at the door his brother had just walked through with an intense expression.
'Oh, I get it now.'
