Time Has Gone : Second.

The room was quiet, except for the beeping sounds from the ECG machine that was placed next to Ougai's bed.

(Y/N) had her head down, sitting on a chair next to him. Her eyes were still red from all the crying when she saw her father's unconscious self-being carried in the HQ of Port Mafia.

Chuuya, on the other hand, had received a note and he was with Kyoyo in one of the many meeting rooms in HQ.

"So, not only the boss was hurt - he has a virus placed on him when he was stabbed..." Chuuya said and crumpled the note.

"In addition to that... we have to kill the Director of the Detective Agency, Fukuzawa Yukichi, in order to save him from this virus in two days. THAT THRASH!" he continued.

"But Chuuya kun, the boss had stated that we shall not engage in battle with the Detectives. Thus, you're playing into the mastermind's hand..." Kyoyo reminded but Chuuya kept quiet.

"I'll confront the detectives, you keep (Y/N) safe here in HQ..." after that, he stood up and walked away.

Kyoyo felt conflicted in his actions, though she understands what must be done - and that, she headed towards the room where Ougai is held.

Quietly opening the door to the makeshift ward, she saw (Y/N) sitting there with her upper body bend on the side of the bed.

"Finally, she calmed down a little..." Kyoyo thought and took a blanket from a cupboard to place it on the executive.

"Ozaki kun..." Ougai's voice was weak but it was picked up by the other female in the room.

"Yes, boss?" she said and placed a hand on top of his.

"No matter what, never go into war with the detectives..." he said before going into unconscious again.

"Will do, boss..." Kyoyo replies and tucked Ougai's hand under his blanket.

"We won't start a war..." (Y/N) stated, Kyoyo was surprised as she looked at the young executive.

"Where's Chuuya?" she continued while her eyes turned into the colors of revenge.

"He has headed out to talk to the detectives..." she answers her.

"Please look after the boss, I have errands to run..." (Y/N) orders and walks away.

"I hope the young ones aren't too rash with their decisions..." Kyoyo whispers to herself as she knows the consequences.

Chuuya was on top of a building, opposite the hospital, where Fukuzawa is held for treatment. Through his binoculars, he saw the detectives outside of the ICU - gathered and beaten by the news that they had received.

He was giving out orders through his walkie talkie when one of the subordinates told him that (Y/N) is on the way to them.

"Tsk, I specifically told Kyoyo nee to keep her there..." Chuuya clicked his tongue and mumble about (Y/N) was out of HQ.

Because he knew Fyodor was after her for some worldly reason that he couldn't place his finger on, yet she is coming all the way out here into the war zone.

"This girl doesn't learn her lessons at all..." he mumbles again until he felt a tap on his shoulder.

"Chuuya, what were you mumbling about?" (Y/N) asked, Chuuya turned around to look at his fiancee.

Her eyes were red all around, even her nose turned pink from all that crying. He felt pained when he looked at her but he was glad that she pulled through the ordeal.

"The detectives are in there..." he pointed out and she nodded, but before he could let out an order to his subordinates - (Y/N) voiced out.

"Father doesn't want us to fight..." she said and this made Chuuya glare at her.

"What do you mean by that?" Chuuya asked.

"Father woke up for a short few seconds, to convey this to Kyoyo nee. He doesn't want us to wage war with the detectives..." she stood her ground.

"He is your father for goodness sake! Are you just gonna let him die because of the detectives?!" he bickered.

"No..."

"Then do you have another idea how to save your father in this condition?!"

"There must be another way..." she looks away from Chuuya, thinking of anything that could stop this war.

"IT'S USELESS!" Chuuya shouted at her but quiets down when she started tearing up.

"I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice at you... but, my love. I don't think that we were given much of a choice with this..." he said while hugging her.

"Either he goes or your father dies. You make a choice..." he continued and stares at her.

(Y/N) was left with no other choice, but her first thoughts were Dazai. However, it won't make Chuuya happy if she suggested that.

"Let's confront them first..." she mumbled and Chuuya nodded his head.

Kunikida was pacing up and down the hallway, frustrated at such a thing had happened to their Director.

Even they received the letter about killing the boss of Port Mafia, not one would want to cross the line that Fukuzawa and Ougai had made a pact on.

"Damn it!" He cursed.

Atsushi stares in disbelief, the agency is falling down due to the attack. Even Ranpo was not in his calm state of mind.

Tanizaki had started on the idea of killing the Port Mafia boss when they heard footsteps coming down the hallway.

The detectives turned and saw Chuuya and (Y/N), Akutagawa and the Black Lizard group.

The Port Mafia and Detective Agency is having a staredown, Kunikida asked why were they there, Chuuya replies.

"Should we go one on one?" this made Atsushi nervously stare at Akutagawa as he continues.

"Or should we all go at it at once?" Tanizaki's sweat rolled down his face.

"Well, I don't mind either way..." Chuuya finished but he was replied by a rather angry Atsushi.

"(Y/N) san! Think about it! We're playing right into the enemy's hand! Your father doesn't want this to happen!"

"It had already been done..." she said before launching an attack on them.

"Protect the Director no matter what!" Kunikida gave out the order before countering Hirotsu's attack.
