"Here I thought you would never get out of that cave." Childe turned around nonchalant, (Y/n)'s (e/c) eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"I never should've come to this land." (Y/n) scoffed, rubbing his temples in annoyance. "You're the reason I was stuck in that cave."
Childe smiled innocently, "I know not of what you speak of comrade!" He tried to touch (Y/n), only for him to slap Childe's hand.
"Do not speak to me as if we are equals, I have not forgotten what you've done." (Y/n) hissed, Childe backing off, still smiling.
"I see it's still a touchy subject." He muttered under his breath.
(Y/n) walked closer to him, "If I ever see hide nor tail of you or Signora in the future, do not expect to come out of the encounter alive." (Y/n) drew, not his polearm, but his katana. "Remember, I am not bound to this land nor it's rules like the other Adepti." (Y/n) all of a sudden had his katana close to Childe's neck.
Childe's eyes widened at his speed.
"I can kill you and not put a second thought to it." (Y/n) pushed the blade closer to Childe's neck.
Childe's face turned serious, pushing (Y/n)'s katana away from his neck, "You say this as though I'd let that happen." Childe then got in (Y/n)'s face. "It's not like you could...just like you couldn't stop-"
(Y/n) immediately hit Childe at the base of his neck with the handle of his katana, not letting him finish his sentence. Childe passed out, falling limp on the ground.
"Well played Childe." (Y/n) let a coy smile on his face, looking at his passed out form.
Before he disappeared.
Timeskip
"Men, all hands on deck!" A female captain ordered, "And full speed to Liyue, we're under attack!" Beidou looked behind them to see the fleet on the Raiden Shogun chasing them.
They were trying to escape with Kazuha, the rain beating down on them from the storm that was meant to keep anyone from entering or leaving.
Kazuha was staring down at the lifeless vision in his bandaged hand, looking mortified.
"Kazuha, we need your help!" Beidou tried to prepare the fleet and help Kazuha.
Kazuha took a deep breath before drawing his katana, putting the useless vision in his back pocket.
Before he could go to attack, a bright light shown on the ship's deck, making everyone look to what it was. They all backed up and prepared their weapons.
Beidou also got ready to attack whatever it was before the light cleared up. When she saw who it was, her face bloomed into a hearty smile.
"(Y/n)! Long time no see!" She smiled, (Y/n) jumping up to where she was.
The crew was in awe, "Our Adepti has returned!" They all marveled.
(Y/n) was back in his Inazuman clothing, similar to that of what Kazuha wears, just not as breezy.
"Beidou, Kazuha old friends!" He patted her back smiling.
The sound of canon fire snapped them out of the nice reunion.
(Y/n)'s face turned serious, "Inform me of the situation." He ordered.
"To keep it simple, Kazuha is a fugitive, and the Raiden Shogun wants him executed." Beidou cleared up.
(Y/n) nodded, "Alright, I'll clear them out." He took out his polearm, the green winged spear glowing. "Kazuha." (Y/n) caught his attention, "Together?"
Kazuha's blank face spread with a small smile.
"Together."
Timeskip
The moon was shining down on the crew and its captain in victory, all of them cheering at successfully escaping.
"Good job Crew, everyone is off duty for the rest of the day!" Beidou smiled, looking down on her cheering crew.
(Y/n) and Kazuha reappeared on the ship, both of them sweaty and covered in blood.
"I hope that isn't your blood." Beidou looked at both of them, Kazuha's arm over (Y/n)'s shoulder.
(Y/n) shook his head, "Nope! We're just tired." Him and Kazuha yawned in sync.
"You two are weird." Beidou chuckled good naturedly, "But you two get cleaned up and go to bed, I have a few more things to do." She walked away.
Once (Y/n) and Kazuha were cleaned up, and in fresh clothing, they lied down in Kazuha's bed.
"Today was fun!" (Y/n) stretched his arms, Kazuha sighing.
"I can't say the same." He disagreed, "Toma is dead." Kazuha revealed.
(Y/n) paused, putting his arms back down at his sides.
Now that Kazuha wasn't in immediate danger, what happened today relapsed in his head, the emotions of it coming to crash down on him.
(Y/n) heard quite sniffles, making him look at Kazuha. (Y/n) hadn't cried in a good 300 or more years, so he was unfamiliar how to help people.
Kazuha turned on his side, so he wasn't facing the Adepti, when he felt an arm around his waist.
(Y/n) pulled Kazuha flush to his body, hugging him close.
Kazuha turned back to (Y/n), letting (Y/n) see his flushed and tear covered face.
(Y/n) rested his chin on Kazuha's head, but light enough to not hurt him.
"It'll be okay...rest Kazuha." (Y/n) shut his own eyes, relaxing his body.
Kazuha inhaled a shaky breath, listening to (Y/n)'s breathing, no heartbeat to be heard.
"Rest."
