It's Always Been You ~||~ Soukoku

~• "Time To Go Home" •~

He was brought out of his thoughts when Dazai placed the phone back in its designated location. "I'm going out for a bit again! Don't know when I'll return~~ See ya!~" He waved to his coworkers. Atsushi panicked, if Dazai was getting involved in this, surely he'd figure out why Chuuya was suddenly being targeted.

"Oi! You can't just leave when you have an entire report to finish!" Kunikida stopped him, relieving the were-tiger.

"Oh thaaaat, I finished the report yesterday and left it in your desk drawer! Ok see ya!~" He walked out the door, leaving behind a surprised Kunikida who was staring at the file in his drawer. Dazai had already anticipated that he was going to be busy today and so he finished his work in advance...

Short timeskip bc this is getting long.

After Dazai sorted out the details with Kouyou, his next task was to figure out where Chuuya currently was. He doubted they would be anywhere near the area, a secret hideout up somewhere in some hills perhaps?

~

He now stood near the back entrance of a building, his prediction being correct. How predictable.

Dazai used a paperclip to effortlessly unlock the door. He strided through the hallways as if he owned the place.

He managed to spot the familiar patch of red hair, surrounded by armed men and a tall white-haired man.

Ivan was ready to attack, and so was Chuuya. With one snap of his (Ivan's)  fingers, his men would fire, which is what Chuuya had to find a way to avoid. Had he been able to use his ability, this would've been a lot easier and quicker. The ginger was trying to formulate a plan on the spot when he heard a loud dramatic sigh from right behind him.

"Chiiiiiiiiiiibiiiiiiiiii.....you're such a bother!! Why do I have to pretend to be your babysitter so many times?!?" Dazai whined, shocking each and every person in the room.

"You- how did you manage to find me?!" Chuuya yelled in disbelief. "Because, I am the legendary Dazai Osamu! Nothing is impossible for me~~"

"Enough of this chit-chat!" The white-haired man spoke up, feeling slightly uncomfortable. He'd heard of Dazai Osamu before. The mafia's ex demon-protege. Being in his presence was unsettling.

"Jeeeez someone's uptight, well I agree though! I want to get this over with so I can go back to sleep!~" Dazai made Chuuya scoff.

"Crafty bastard..." Chuuya whispered.

"You know what to do right?~"

"Of course. Also, punch that bastard twice as hard as he punched me."

Dazai smirked.

They stood against each other's backs, Dazai facing the armed men and Chuuya facing Ivan.

"This is your end!"

The sound of bullets being fired echoed through the room. The duo quickly switched positions, Chuuya now rushing towards the men and Dazai casually avoiding Ivan's attempts of obliterating him with rocks.

"You have terrible aim!" The redhead yelled at the men, dodging each and every bullet fired towards him. He used the wall beside him to launch himself on one of them, twisting the man's arm and grabbing his two guns at the same time.

Chuuya used the guns to eliminate the men, soon running out of bullets. "No problem!" He was still the Mafia's best martial artist.

Using his skills, Chuuya broke someone's knee, another's arm, and crushed another's skull.

Meanwhile Dazai--

"Have the bandages around your head given you a brain freeze? Aim properly! I'm right here!~" He taunted the other man, knowing exactly why the rocks had no effect on him- they'd crumble and lose their force when they came into contact with him thanks to No Longer Human. 

Dazai ducked under the fist (made of dirt) Ivan launched at him. He managed to get extremely close and grabbed Ivan's wrist, twisting it violently. "How did you!--" blue ribbons surrounded both of them, the fist disappeared and crumbled to the ground.

The brunet chuckled, "Normally I'd use my own torture methods to force you into giving me information, but mademoiselle over there asked me to punch you twice as hard as you punched him, so here we go!"

~

The other man landed far...faaaar away. Dazai groaned. "Uuuuggghhhh I did not think this through... now I'll have to walk all the way over there!" He frowned and made his way across the rubble.

"Tell me, Fyodor's pet, why isn't Chuuya's ability working?." Dazai asked, towering over Ivan, whose head was bleeding thanks to the rock he collided with (ironic isn't it).

"How.."

"How did I know it wasn't working? Well that's because I know everything! Now, answer me unless you want another delightful punch."

-weird logic I created coming up-

The other man gulped. "Your blood.."

"Hm?"

"A sample of your blood...was injected into him. You being a-" he coughed out blood, "-an ability user from birth means your ability runs through your DNA...so your nullifying blood being in Nakahara's body...cancelled his ability."

"Ahhhh.." Dazai thought back to the time when he was shot in the back by an assassin while he was chatting with Fyodor in that alleyway. Hah, that sneaky man must've collected some of his blood then.

"Well ok! Now that I've got what I wanted, you are no longer needed, so goodbye!" Dazai jumped back, watching as a giant boulder fell on the man. "Probably should've warned him about that but eh!"

He strolled back to where Chuuya was, "Hatrack! It's time to go home!~"

Oh my god hi! It's been a while :'D

I apologize for not updating as per my schedule :(( Semester 1 is coming to an end and things are just a bit hectic rn...also I came up with a random logic that if Dazai's blood is inserted into another person's body, their ability wouldn't work. So yehhhh- I'm sorry if that doesn't make sense ;-; And this hasn't been proofread yet so sorry about the typos if there are any ;w;

Well I gtg complete my work so yeah! Thanks for reading! As usual leave your thoughts/feedback/suggestions and a vote if you liked the chapter :)

Ily byeee!
