Azur Lane:The 3rd Nagato Class

Change of Sides

________________

Nagaro's POV
________________

the day was beautiful,clear skies,calm waves and just peaceful silence all around,there hadn't been any sighting of any Sirens for hours now and it didn't look like there were going to be any  Siren appearances for the following hours to come as I sat on the sandy beach of a random island while waiting for some people I was expecting to arrive

with Me was Kasumi as she was playing with the sand right behind Me as we both just did nothing but wait on the massive island we were on as we both waited for the people we needed to speak to,to arrive

it had already been a few hours since I had alerted them of our presence deliberately along with giving them a message,stating that we wanted to meet,the message clearly got to them as I open fired with my cannons from a long distance to alert them,with my shots just barely missing their docks and ships to prove a point while I threw a makeshift wooden spear with the note attached right into their main buildings wall,so it was clear they got the note

we waited patiently for them to respond as it had already been a few hours since the notification was sent and even longer than that,since we left the Sakura Empire without anyone's knowledge except Lady Shinano's,I informed her of my choice and Kasumi's choice and did nothing to stop us and even stated,that she'd keep her mouth shut about the matter,letting us move without worry and with the knowledge,that we still have an ally in the Empire even after what we're going to do

I was still unsure about this whole choice I've made and it was selfish of Me to have brought Kasumi into it but it was too late to go back now and a feeling in Me told Me,that I was doing the right thing even if I was go back on everything I had to stand for,this was one of the only real things keeping Me still and patient to wait on this beach with Kasumi

I turned my head,slightly enough to look at her and enough to make it unnoticeable as I watched her entertain herself with the sand and some crabs while Foo just floated around her while watching her play with the crustaceans and the sand as she made a small mound of sand 

I know she confessed to Me back in the North and I know she cares for Me deeply and I can say just as much for myself when it comes to her but I still don't understand how she could so easily accept my offer to do this dangerous act,nonetheless betray her Nation just for Me,I had a general idea and grasp of what she thought of Me after her well spoken comforting words back in the North but that was just the surface and I had no clue just how far she'll go for Me 

Nagaro:hey Kasumi

Kasumi:hmmmm?,what is it,Sir Nagaro?

Nagaro:I want to know,why did you so easily and hastily accept my invitation to do something so dangerous

Kasumi:it's because I want to stay by your side,Sir Nagaro

Nagaro:but,you are voluntarily betraying your own Nation just for one person

Kasumi:yes but I trust your judgement more than anyone's,even more than Lady Nagato's,and in the end,even Lady Shinano saw,that you were right in the end,so she supported your decision and kept this a secret for us 

Nagaro:sure but,what about your friends and Sisters back in the Sakura Empire

Kasumi:well,I will miss fighting with Task Force Swirling Cherry Blossom and I will miss my Sisters but I know that this won't last long because I know,that you know what needs to be done,so I don't have to miss them for long 

Nagaro:why do you have so much faith in Me?,for all you know,I could be completely wrong or have no idea what it is I'm doing,how can you just blindly follow Me and put all your faith in Me
