Missing Shiro?
Top's POV
Sakusa
I can't find him in his room or play area. Where the fuck did he go!?
Daichi
Calm down, he might be playing hide and seek, or he might have been injured.
Tsukishima
He might have gotten tired of you and run away.
Daichi
Tsukishima, another goddamn word out of your mouth!
Tsukishima froze and walked away.
Sakusa
What if he is injured? I wouldn't know where to find him.
Sakusa paced around the room. Komori entered.
Komori
There's a problem with the Bitches Kingdom.
Sakusa glared at her; she stuck her tongue at her. Sakusa was about to extract her nails.
Daichi
STOP!
The two girls stopped and looked at Daichi.
Daichi
What's the problem?
Komori
Rebels have formed against the kingdom, Maria has taken over, but the Queens have gone missing.
Sakusa and Daichi looked at each other.
Daichi
Wait, you're telling me that the Queens are either still alive or dead?
Komori nods.
Sakusa
Maria might be part of it, but we can't just run inside the kingdom and ask where they are. The people might have already taken Maria's side and are after the Queens.
Komori nods again.
Komori
Yes, Sakusa is right. There's also an explosion in the Far Far Lost Forest, up on the hill.
Daichi
The blue house! It's where the peace agreement was made, meaning it's where they might have headed for an emergency.
Sakusa
Let's go and check; we will look for Shiro later.
--------------------------
Noya
Hinata is saying something; I think she saw other people coming here.
Kino
What do you mean no one is supposed to be flying at night? How could there be someone else coming this way?
Kita looks up at where Hinata is staring.
Kita
Unless they are people after us, Noya, tell her to come down and head to the forest.
Noya nodded; she looked at Hinata and pointed to the forest. Hinata nodded at her and flew low. Kita, Kino, and Noya ran to the forest.
Kita
Let's wait here for a while and check what they are doing. We already grab the stuff we need; then we can leave.
As the Tops come closer to what is leftover of the blue house.
Daichi
It's burned down; check if there is anyone else here.
The Tops head toward the opposite forest of where the four are.
Kita
Let's go! We can't stay here.
They head out, but still in the forest so that they are not spotted by the people surrounding the house.
When they arrived at the cave, it was close to sunrise already, and Suga was waiting by the opening. She looked up and smiled.
Suga
Are you okay? Did anything happen? Did you guys bump into Maria or the villagers?
Hinata
Sugamama, are you okay now?
Suga
Yes, I am okay now. Bring the things you have brought inside, and I'll talk to Kita.
The three nod and head to bed after putting aside the luggage they brought.
Suga
What happened when after I was put to rest? Why is there a big dog lying down with Atsu? And why does Suna has a little dog lying down on her stomach?
Kita laughed and wrapped her arms around Suga.
Kita
Haha, calm down. We were about to sleep when the little dog cried out, but Suna went to check and noticed the dog was injured. So the big dog followed Suna back here, which is now attached to Atsu, but Kawa got cranky that the dog had stolen her best friend.
Suga's eyes widened, and she started laughing, tears forming.
Suga
Wow! These girls are amazing.
Yaku
Yup, but come inside so we can eat. The five who had gone out will let them sleep for a while.
Kita
Yeah, it was a long day yesterday, and we shall plan what we will do next.
Kita yawned and lay beside Kino, snuggling her head on her back.
Suga
Okay, girls. Right now, I know we are frustrated and confused about what happened.
The girls look at Suga while eating their breakfast.
Suga
I know we are not emotionally ready to fight because of what happened, so I might suggest something you don't like, but we need to train ourselves.
Yaku
I meant that we can't always use our powers but fight in hand-to-hand combat.
Suga nodded.
Atsu
I want to do it; it might be fun to know how to do it.
Kaashi
But how long does it take us to learn? I mean, it might take months or years to learn.
Suga
True, but not when I know what you girls are capable of. I know it might take some of us to learn, but I would take any risk to let you guys stay put.
The girls stop eating.
Yahaba
Wait! So some of us have to stay because we don't know how to combat hand-to-hand? Why?
Suga looked at them and sighed.
Suga
I'm sorry, it's just.. you all know what I am capable of. We all know what we can do if we use our powers.
They nodded and looked down.
Suga
I am suggesting it because we can do in-person fighting rather than at a distance, taking advantage of your opponent's blind spot and your wings. I know you all can do it. I want my girls to know how to fight to protect themselves if we are trapped and no resources will provide for us.
They know that they couldn't do anything without their powers, but at least Suga gives them an option that will provide them more assurance and fight back.
Kawa
I will do it.
Kaashi
Me too.
Yaku
Me three.
After Yaku agreed, everyone else decided except for the five who were soundly asleep.
Suga
After the five woke up, I would explain what I told you guys to them.
Everyone stood up.
Everyone
Yes! Let's do this.
The two dogs started to move, and the big one sat up and looked around. Then, it opened its mouth like he was yawning, licking its face.
Atsu
I think we woke up the big one and might be hungry. Come on, Kawa.
Kawa grumbled. Everyone else laughed and watched the two run outside while the dog followed behind them.
Suga
I didn't know Atsu could tame such a big dog.
Everyone shrugged and went back to cleaning themselves up.
Outside, Atsu rode behind the dog while Kawa followed behind.
Kawa
Geez, this dog is too fast for me to catch up.
Atsu
Haha, that's why you should ride with me.
Kawa
Hmph!
Atsu
Weeeeee! Slow down, boy!
Villagers
LOOK! THEY ARE OVER THERE!
Kawa and Atsu look at each other.
Kawa
Fuck! Let's go!
Atsu
Come on, boy!
They ran away from the villagers, but the dog pulled on Atsu's clothes.
Atsu
KAWA!
Kawa turned around and found Atsu being carried to a big cave.
Kawa
Calm down. It's just helping you.
Atsu
But like seriously!
Kawa
Fucking calm down. At least we got away from the villagers. I'll check if they are gone, but I will get the rest and return to contact you.
Atsu nodded and snuggled close to the dog.
???
What the heck are you doing here?
Atsu
What the actual fuck!?
Atsu stood up and formed a fire on her palm.
???
Wait! Don't!
Atsu
Who are you? And what are you doing here?
The girl stepped forward and put her hand up; she froze the fire on her palm.
???
Calm down; I'm not going to hurt you. It's just that the dog you are snuggling belongs to someone I know.
Atsu
How do I know you're not lying?
She formed her lips as a whistle, and the dog came toward her as she blew. Atsu looked shocked and whined.
Atsu
No fair. I was cuddling with him. Now, give him back!
The dog ran toward her and tackled her, and she screamed. But then she heard the girl laugh at her.
Atsu
What's your name? I haven't seen you around here.
The girl hesitated and looked at her.
???
My name is Samu.
When Atsu heard her name, she froze and glared at her. The girl tensed up.
Atsu
Did you say Samu?
The girl nodded. She could feel the temperature inside the cave rising.
Atsu
NO! She died! I was there!
Then Atsu fainted, and Samu ran toward her and checked her temperature.
Samu
Shit, her temperature rose dramatically when she lost control. Come on, Shiro! Let's go home.
The dog nodded, and she placed her body on the dog. They left the cave and headed toward the kingdom, but then Kawa arrived at an empty shelter.
Kawa
Oh, shit. ATSU! Fuck! Where did she go?

Top's POV
Sakusa
SHIRO! My boy, I have been worried. Where have you been?
She looked behind her back and saw Atsu.
Sakusa
Who did you bring back, Samu?
Samu shrugs her shoulders.
Samu
My twin sister and Shiro were with her when I found them.
Everyone
Twin sister?
How is that possible?
She looked down and sighed.
Osamu
She thinks she has killed me. She thinks I'm dead.
Daichi
You mean she tried to kill you?
Samu shook her head.
Samu
No, she lost control over her powers when she was young and thought she had killed me accidentally.
Sakusa
But how did she get Shiro with her?
Samu
We will have to find out when she wakes up. But first, let me reduce her temperature.
———————————————————————-
Bottom's POV
Kawa arrived at the cave.
Kawa
I FUCKING LOST ATSU!
Tears kept escaping her face, and everyone looked at her.
Suga
YOU WHAT?
