Boss' Mansion December 22, 8:00 PM
Akira's unconscious body lies face down on the floor. A man with a number 5 across his face is on top of her still choking her. The door slams open, the man quickly lets go of Akira and looks at the door.
An eerie silence follows the door slamming open. Number 5 slowly grabs onto Akira while still looking at the door. There is still no one at the door, Number 5 now has Akira in his arms and begins to walk away from the bathroom door.
Number 4 begins to dissolve into a black pile of goop as Number 5 walks backward toward the mirror facing the door. After a few steps, he turns around to walk forward. The black gloop rushes toward Number 5 integrating back into 5's body. He takes five soundless steps until he feels a tap on his back.
He turns around to see Rohan behind him. "Yo." 5 tries to shift Akira's body away from Rohan but he punches 5 in the stomach. A clean aura-infused strike to his abs sends 5 flying into the wall. As number 5 is sliding down the wall, he doesn't realize the reason he came here is gone from his grasp.
"That punch felt weird and no sound of that man crashing into the wall?" Rohan mumbles to himself. He stays quiet for a few seconds staring at number 5's unresponsive body. His face which was filled with confusion quickly changes into a smile.
"So that's why I could ONLY sense Akira moving." He says walking towards 5. He begins to think, "You guys had a nice plan, do two attacks at the same time in two different areas of the house. Trying to keep me busy from expanding my ability as I tried to protect her boyfriend."
Rohan now says out loud, "But how oh HOW did you get in here?!?!" Number 5 now as well begins to dissolve into a puddle of black arua but begins to disintegrate into thin air, as Akira falls from the ceiling.
Landing on her feet and waving at the ceiling. "What a pussy," Rohan says as Akira grabs her throat and coughs a bit. "Where's Waka," she says in between coughs with a raspy voice completely ignoring Rohan's statement.
"He should be on his way here. I don't sense any others in this house. Plus now that you're here, she is watching him now," Rohan looks over to Akira, "did you almost punch her?" "No... I nearly did though." "Should have done it."
Rohan walks over to Akira and changes his aura flow to stop at his wrist. He hits Akira in the head. Akira grabs her head in pain. "You were thinking about Waka weren't you." He says reverting his aura flow back to normal. "yes…" "I told you to not worry about him when I'm here." "Well, I kind of hard not to worry about him when I was getting choked out and you didn't show up."
"Sorry." "Don't be I should have figured something was up." Akira has a nervous look on her face, and Rohan notices this look. Rohan laughs as he pats Akira's back. "Don't worry, for such a cool ability. It has way too many flaws."
Rohan signals Akira to follow him and they begin to walk out of the room until he stops a few feet from the bathroom entrance. Rohan sighs, "I didn't wanna do this now but I might as well." He puts his hands together as if he were praying but interlocks his middle fingers. "Enclosed space: Earth's Coffin."
The ground begins to violently shake as dirt and sand start to form around the mansion acting like a coat of paint. This is Rohan's trump card for vibration location with a bonus of entrapment. He turns his aura into sand and dirt to make a barrier that will not allow his opponent to escape. While also sensing everyone similationsuly without any lag to his senses.
However, there are four major drawbacks to this: One, his allies, and him cannot leave this enclosed space until he turns it off or he is killed. Two, people from outside this barrier can easily get in. Three, this barrier takes a considerable amount of aura to use and maintain and Four, he is unable to use his Totsu solely relying on his aura to protect himself and make his punches stronger.
Under normal circumstances, Rohan would be fine with that limitation but he is almost at his breaking point. After almost 2 whole days of the constant use of his ability, Rohan begins to pant and breathe a bit heavier. Akira notices this, she has an even more nervous expression on her face but it quickly turns into an awkward smile as she now pats Rohan on the back.
"Was... that pant because you're getting a bit too tired…old man?" Rohan looks over and sees her awkward smile, "Oh, that's rich coming from the girl who was out a few moments ago." "It's…hard to fight without using any aura." "It's not my fault you have a Totsu attribute." A female voice ruins their playful arguing. "I can see why they chose you." Akira's red nervous eyes widen in pure fear as a chill is sent down her spine.
Rohan notices her reaction and brings her close to him. "We thought your ability was to use some sort of surveillance system made out of Totsu. But in actuality…" Rohan loudly interrupts, "Yeah yeah, you probably have already figured it out," The woman softly laughs as she replies, "You must be getting tired of babysitting." Rohan yawns, "Extremely." The lady lets out a small giggle, "Let me take her off your hands."
Waka is finally at the door. "That's what I'm trying to prevent," Rohan says as he leads Akira out of the room. They both leave the bathroom and walk down the hallway. Rohan asks Waka, "Did you get that water for me?" "Yes, I did." Waka hands him a water bottle and Rohan chugs it all down. "Reliable as always," Rohan says, thanking Waka.
"How are you feeling?" Waka asks Akira. "I'm okay. My throat is still killing me." A bit annoyed, Waka asks Rohan, "Wasn't she supposed to make sure nothing happens to her?" "She WAS. Imma kick her ass when I see her."
Akira puts her hands on Waka and Rohan's back, "I'm sure she had a reason she couldn't intervene." "I'm still kicking her ass after this." A quiet echo vibrates throughout the hallway. It appears to be coming from behind them. They turn around to see a man.
The man appears to be a white caucasian male with a buzz cut and a giant scar across his face. His right pupil has no color. He is wearing a black zip-up sweater with a white shirt underneath and brown pants. He stands at 6'2 with a lean build.
He points at Rohan. "If I kill you we can leave." Rohan smiles and says, "Try it ugly."
