fear or no fear?

"Hey you ever think that sometimes Sagara has literally no fear of like… anything?" regulus asked suddenly

"now that you say it I don't think he can" oddly it was Yamada that answered him

"well I'm sure he's scared of at least something" Sebastian supplied

"that is true, no single man can be fearless," takiko said

"what's wrong ryo? you looked really confused there?" Yamada asked her secretary who looked as if in an existential crisis at the moment

"its nothing major but… why are we talking while trying to hack at each other with swords again?" he asked avoiding a strike from Sebastian's sword

"that's not important here!" regulus shouted using a set of tonfa to deflect Takiko's katana "what's important is Sagara's near dauntless state" he continued

"Actually, can we stop the fight for a second and really talk about this like normal people?" Ryo asked trying his best not to get hit by Sebastian's sword

Surprisingly everyone stopped.

"while he doesn't like bugs but he isn't afraid of them" Sebastian supplied "more like hates them with a passion"

"seriously, I was kidding!!!" ryo said

"it's hard to see his usually calm face in a panic," Takiko said holding her hand to her chin trying to picture a scared Sagara

"stop ignoring me!!!"

"yeah, like seriously, do you remember that earthquake earlier this year?" regulus asked yamada as if the two weren't trying to rip each other's throats out earlier

"yes my mannor was quite alarmed as a balcony in the mansion collapsed from the sheer force" she recalled,

"why?"

"I and Sagara were on the rooftops on the slums and when the earthquake hit the building we were standing on just started giving way," he said dramatically

"oh what did you do then?" Takiko asked

"i couldn't exactly jump from one building to another when the ground is shaking so i did what any normal person would do"

"I started shouting and cursing in as loud and as many languages I know," he said proudly

The others looked at him and in synchronization muttered

"acceptable"

"Next thing I know I was being hoisted up and thrown onto a building that wasn't crumbling to pieces a few seconds later Sagara was beside me and being the calm collected person that i am" he pointed to himself smugly

"I screamed at him yelling 'it's an earthquake were gonna die!'"

"well you almost did" Takiko pointed out

"and you know what Sagara said to me?" he asked as his listeners drew closer, " he said 'and what am I supposed to do about it?' while giving me a stare flatter than yama- oww!!!" he was cut off as he was hit by a sword... right in his family jewels

"…anyways" he continued on the ground in pain and squirming "he spent the entire time staring at me like i'm an idiot while the earthquake was going on"

"While I do think you are an idiot," Takiko said in contemplation "his actions aren't that of a normal person

"Oh look its Ashima" Regulus pointed to a nearby hallway "hey Ashima can we ask you something?"

Ashima was taken aback when half the council and the committee cornered him and backed him up against the wall

"Hey, do you happen to know if Sagara is scared of," Yamada asked politely

To their surprise, Ashima started laughing, hard. As if they just told him a really crude joke, but looked up at the confused faces

"Oh, wait,…. Your serious?" he asked incredulously

"to say Sagara was afraid of anything short of death would be like saying water was flammable," he said sagely

The others looked at him incredulously

"you guys do know he's been held at gunpoint before right?" he asked

"what!?" they screamed

"don't shout, my ears are sensitive" he covered his ears in pain from the sudden blast of noise that was in front of him "but yeah, we were in a cafe' and some guys tried to rob the place pointing a gun directly at Sagara. And do you know what he did?" he asked them with a laugh

"he kept drinking his tea and asked for a refill from the waiter" he barked out laughing as the others sweatdropped "but the moment the gun was pointed at the waiter the gunman was already on the ground curtacy of Sagara. Afterward, the others not armed with a gun were taken care off by yours truly while Sagara requested another refill"

"that sounds…" Yamada thought it over "believable and likely"

"Yeah, no shit sherlock" Sebastian retorted

"well it seems you have a fearless peacekeeper in your ranks," Yamada said to regulus who grinned smugly

LINE BREAK

With All the drama figured, with them just chalking it up to Sagara being a freak of nature Yamada arranged the papers sent to the council as requests for club funding

"no I can not let you have a canon!" she said marking the paper with an x

"and this one asked for if they could have a sacrificial knife,!" she exasperatedly

"the hell is wrong with the people here?" she asked the air in front of her letting her forehead fall onto the table "and I thought the fearless Kosuke was weird" she mumbled

"He's not fearless" a flat voice made her jump suddenly in surprize she whipped her head to the side to see shinoe staring at her

"When did you get here?!" she asked

"I was here before you," she said simply

Trying to save herself from more embracement she decided to switch the topic

"What do you mean he has fears? You know what it is?" she asked the stoic faced girl

"When we were being chased by the yakuza and Sagara had a knife in his shoulder we went to the rooftops and i asked if he was fearless, he said no" she explained

"When did that happen?!?!" yamada screamed

"half a year ago" the short girl said flatly

"Why did you never tell me!!!" she asked concerned

The entire council practically loved their little peace officer as a sister and often doted on her, spoiling her most of the time even though she could probably beat them all in an even fight

"you didn't ask"

She had a point

"well what did Kosuke say?" she asked to hear the secret of the fearless man known as Sagara

"he said he is afraid of many things, but fear is good, it helps people stay alive. it is when facing that fear when he needs to that makes him fearless" she said dully

"he quoted that: if you want to live a life of peace you must prepare for war"

"well that does sound like Sagara" she mumbled "anything else you know about him?" she asked curiously

For a moment Yamada thought shinoe's eyes shone with glee for a second

"he's a great cook! and weirdly tidy around the house too he has a collection full of weapons and probably mastered all of them he owns a dog named yumi," she said in a burst of words Yamada didn't know the short girl could do

"he's also strict with training but good at medicine to fix any soreness" she continued and was about to go on but Yamada raised her hand

"stop," she said trying to catch up with the rapid-fire words

"how in seven hells do you know this?!" she asked worried that Shinoe became Sagara's stalker "are you stalking him?" she asked worriedly

"no… just no…" shinoe just stared at her flatly
