It was already second day of training that Mie miss out the on the training, Sho canât help but be worried not because Mie is missing out on the training but it was because he is unable to see Mie. He tried to ask Col. Yoshihiko but he is not answering.
When he saw Mie at breakfast he approached her âMajor Miyamoto can I talk to you privately?â Mie smiled sheepishly then says âoh Gomen Lieutenant Sakurai yeah I havenât been able to get my things but I would get it later. I was just busy with somethingâ Sho looked at her and she again smiled "I promise to get it laterâ
Sho nodded then returned to where his team are, Aiba noticed it and give him a jab âhey, you okay?â Sho shake his head âMie is missing out lately and she is not telling me what she is up toâ Aiba smiled âyou just missed her no worries I saw her schedule earlier and she will be in our combat trainingâ Sho looked at Mie and he just noticed Mie looked tired for some reason.
At the Arena Okada asked the other three groups to join and asked everyone to beat the girls all at the same time, Mie as always was enjoying it and was able to beat at least 7 guys. At lunch time Sho saw Mie look more tired, then Lieutenant Tatum approach him âSho, sorry but I need your help Mie is not eating again and keeps on playing her DS we donât know what to do anymore. She even forgot to eat lunch and dinner yesterday tooâ Sho shake his head âno worries, I can take care of thatâ then Sho grab Aiba with him.
âMie-chan stop playing and eatâ Mie didnât pay attention so Sho and Aiba sit beside her and tried to feed her, Aiba is letting him drink while Sho is the one feeding her âMie-chan is there something bothering you?â Mie just shake her head but still didnât let go of her DS Aiba tried this time âMie-chan, they would be laughing at you because you're acting like a baby againâ
Mie pouted âthen donât feed meâ Sho looked at Aiba and then continue to feed Mie but then her communicator lit up âYuya what is it?â then an answer from the other end âhai on my wayâ then Mie save her game Sho grab her arm then asked âwhere are you going you are not yet done with your mealâ Mie winced and Sho noticed it.
He pull up her shirt sleeve and Sho saw a purplish bruise âwhat is this?â Mie winced again because sho press on it âMajor Miyamoto, as your superior I am asking you a questionâ Mie sigh âsorry officer but this information is classifiedâ Sho grabbed her and whisper to her âdonât let me use Otosan power to get this informationâ Mie sigh âlater, just let me go this time please Yuya needed meâ Aiba grabbed Sho and nodded to Mie, who looked at him then run off.
Good thing there were just Nagoya and Osaka team in the pantry at that time, Ohno approached Sho âwhat was that all about?â Yoshihiko answered âMie is being summoned to 23LG by Doctor Yuya Tegoshi head of our medical teamâ Sho and Ohno gaped then Lieutenant Tatum run and hurried to follow Mie.
It has been 2 hours since Mie left the pantry when Sho and Ohno were pacing in the common room while waiting for Mie, Nino asked Aiba âwhatâs up with those two?â Aiba answered âMie-chan is being summoned to 23LG earlier and Sho saw a bruise on her armâ Ninoâs eyes widen âwhat is she doing there?â then Jun asked âIsnât it the floor were prisoners and uncontrolled assassins are being locked up?â Sho and Ohno darted thier gaze to Jun.
Toma asked âwhy was she there and how did she get the bruises?â Aiba sigh âthat is why these two are pacing and waiting for that question to be answeredâ then a knock from the door Sho was the first one to run through the door and open it Mie was standing there and smile âDomo, Sho-chan I am here to get my thingsâ
Sho pulled her inside and then asked âwhy are you being summoned to 23LG? And how did you get those bruises?â Mie sigh âcan I sit down first I am too tiredâ then approached Aiba and give him a hug âyou need to answer me, and stop avoiding my questionsâ Mie sigh again âSho-chan, I will if you can let me rest for a bit I am exhaustedâ Aiba put an arm on Mieâs shoulder when Mie winced âAiba-shi can you let me sleep? and please donât let Sho-chan near meâ Aiba just nodded then whisper âwant to sleep in my bedroom instead?â Mie shake her head âei, I am comfortable hereâ then she dose of.
Mie woke up after about two hours of sleep, she is now lying comfortably in the couch and Aiba was still on her side âArigato Aiba-shiâ Aiba smiled but worry is evident on his face âdid you had a good nap?â Mie smiled back âhai, where are the others?â Aiba smiled âPantry asking for our dinner to be packed so we can eat hereâ Mie nodded, then Aiba asked âwhy do you have a lot of bruises? You have a new one at the back of your shoulderâ Mie just smiled âI am working with Yuya in 23LG but then I bump into the cupboard I am just being clumsyâ
Aiba was about to ask another question when her communicator lit up âMiyamoto desuâ an answer from the other end âYuc-chan, onegai I-â then Mie look at Aiba âyes can you hold him down for just a couple of minutes I would be thereâ then another answer from the other end. Then the door open and Sho was the first person who entered the common room Mie answered âyes, I am on my wayâ
Mie stood up then eyed everyone âsorry but my bag can wait till tonight I need to get back downâ Sho was furious now âyou are not leaving this room until you tell me what the hell is happening?â Mie look at Sho directly âSorry, but you needed to get a Generalâs clearance to be with me in 23LGâ then Mie walk through the door and opened it and not looking back âIf you manage to get oneâ she addressed Sho by turning her head to look at him directly âpromise me you wonât hurt himâ then shut the door close.
Ohno grabbed his communicator this time then called in Gen. Kitagawa to ask for clearance, Kitagawa approved passes only for Ohno and Sho. When the elevator open they were able to hear a scream and people are on alert Sho and Ohno run through the hallways and follow where they can hear the scream.
They halt to a stop when they reach the end of the hall, Sho open the door and  saw it was the monitor area and when they see what is happening below Ohno gape and then Sho was shocked and frozen. Sho is seeing Mie who is trying to approach a man they saw in the video two days ago.
Mie is not wearing her jacket and he can see her arm were bruised, they can hear Mie screaming âback off everyone please, Ryou itâs me Mie-chanâ then the guy screamed âMie-chan, I might kill them so please end my life nowâ Mieâs voice is breaking but manage to shout back âRyou I am here you wonât hurt them and you remember me right?â the guy sit on the floor then Mie tried to approach him âYou are safe here and I promise I would be with you till the endâ Ryou shouted who prompt Mie to step back âbut I canât control myself and I even hurt youâ
Mie smiled âit was an accident and you see, you manage to stop yourself! I only had bruises so itâs fineâ Ryou eyed her arm then try to calm himself by taking deep breath Mie run and hugged him âitâs okay no one is going to hurt you, and I promised to help them remove it from youâ Ryou nodded then hugged her back âthank you for being with me and reminding me who I amâ Mie smiled âyou have to rest now too so I can rest as well okay? I would be back to check on you tomorrow, for tonight we needed restâ Ryou nodded then followed Mie out of the said room.
Sho was waiting for Mie to come out of the said room where they confine the man they saw on the video. Ohno tried to talk to Sho to go back to the common room and discuss it there but Sho is not listening and he knew Sho too well to even persuade him to follow his orders now.
Mie opened the door and was not surprised to see Ohno and Sho waiting for her âI already warn you Sho-chan, I would not let you touch himâ Sho answer her with a growl âare you freaking insane? This guy almost kill the guards in that room and even manage to hurt youâ Mie stand and never left Shoâs eyes âyou can say that, but he is still a human and I can control himâ Sho smirked âYou call that control when you have bruises that even your father didnât gave youâ
âMay I remind you Lieutenant Sakurai that I am a soldier, by the time I submitted the form I fill up with my name on it I also submitted my soul to deathâ Sho was about to speak up but then Ohno held out a hand because Doc. Yuya is approaching âMajor Miyamoto, thank you so much we wouldnât know what to do without youâ Mie not leaving Shoâs gaze answered back ânext time he look for me let him listen to my voice as instructedâ
Doctor Yuya nodded âyes, I would do thatâ Mie still staring at Sho âDoc. Yuya, I wanted you to pass a memo that no one is allowed to be near Ryou, and if someone hurt him he would have to answer meâ Doctor again nodded âorder taken right away Majorâ Mie nodded âthank you, if you excuse us I have things to attend toâ
Ohno nodded and says âSho, this is not the right place to discuss this now please. We need to get back to our common roomâ Sho and Mie stood still for a few minutes then Ohno again cleared his throat to get there attention âSoldiers let's moveâ that was the only time Mie moved to follow Ohno.
When they reach the common room Sho shouted âno one is allowed to let Major Mie out of this room unless you wanted to be suspended, do I make myself clear?â Mie rolled her eyes and sarcastically asked âIâll be held captive and let other soldiers die is that the consequence Lieutenant Sakurai?â
âIf that is the price I would have to pay to keep you away from that assassin? Then yesâ Mie gave Sho a clap âhow very noble of you to save my life, but let other innocent soldier die without a fightâ Sho face her this time and furiously shout âSo youâre telling us that you can fight that thing?â Mie answered back âas you noticed I am alive and you saw it earlier I can control it. You were able to see I only manage to get bruisesâ
âYou are being unreasonable, drop the case or you would be out of the organization for goodâ Mie laugh is that a threat Lieutenant Col. Sakurai?â Aiba tried to stop them from arguing âhey come on calm yourselves down-â then both Mie and Sho shouted back at him âback off this is between me and her/himâ at the same time âyou maybe forgetting that I am your superior and I can suspend you for disobeying my orders soldierâ
âMay I also remind you that I am a member of the special task force, which means I have the same authority as youâ Sho smiled âreally nowâ then press a key on his communicator âlieutenant Tatum, I needed a transfer confirmation of Major Miyamoto in my powerâ another answer âthank youâ Mie was furious then âyou are being irresponsible for your actionsâ Sho sigh heavily âYou know why I am doing thisâ Mie just scowl at him and run upstairs, while Sho run to follow her.
Sho open the door then close it behind him âMie, I am just doing-â but got cut off âbecause you are selfish and inhumaneâ Sho hugged Mie from behind âI am afraid to lose youâ Mie didnât say anything this time âI am also trying to protect you, if Otosan found out about this he would also be furiousâ Mie cried silently âyou donât understand, He is a brother to me he save my life a couple of timesâ
âI am thankful of him because of that, explain it to me so I would understandâ Mie just shook her head and continued to cry âMie, pleaseâ Mie shake her head again âNo, I am following orders from you Lieutenant, I wonât leave this place until you remove my suspensionâ Sho sigh âit would just be easy if you would tell meâ Mie removed Shoâs hands and gather her laptop âI would be working if you please donât disturb me for a bit Sir it would be much appreciatedâ Sho sigh and leave her alone.
While Sho and Mie is having a conversation in the room Aiba, Toma, Nino and Jun asked Ohno what happen. Ohno detailed what he witnessed along with his observation âSho-chan was shocked! That was the first time I saw him like thatâ Aiba nodded while Toma asked âwhy is he being held captive here and why is Mie doing itâ
Ohno answered âhe was rescued by Mie, and he only listen to her. But he managed to hurt her a couple of times because he is unable to control himselfâ then eyed Toma carefully âit was ordered by Mie that no one can hurt him nor Kill him if any of us do Mie would be killing that personâ
Everyone nodded along with then Aiba shake his head âNow, I understand why she had a lot of bruises and why Sho-chan has been acting weird latelyâ Nino asked âare they dating?â Aiba look at Toma and says âyou would have to ask that yourselvesâ then they saw Sho coming down from the stairs âwe would have a rotation to make sure Mie would stay hereâ everyone just nodded.
