1054: "...Youandme?"
[X] "Date time~!!" ~ Kohaku in her head

You check your phone as Shoji pulls up a speedrun of Super Mario 64. It is...

...11:56. Just about lunchtime. Seeing as you have your phone out anyways, you take a peek at your inbox.

>(1) Gma: Your Grandfather and I took Arisu to shop for clothes. Help yourself to whatever is in the house!
>(1) Mami: Kazuya is trying to teach Sayaka how to fight. It's going... Well-ish?

...Hm. Good on Sayaka for taking the initiative!

"Hey, Kohaku!" You tap her on the shoulder, "You said you wanted pizza today, right?"

"Uh, y-yes, I did." Kohaku tenses up a little.

"Okay! What's everyone want on it?" You ask everyone present.

"I want a Double Meat Lover's." Kyoko, predictably, wastes no time in her request, "Oh, with the garlic crust!"

"Um..." Kohaku begins to fidget.

"Yuma will have..." Yuma puts her hand to her chin, then tries to snap her fingers, "...Big Sis Kyoko's pizza!"

"I, uh, wanted...!" Kohaku avoids your gaze.

"Just cheese and pepperoni." Shoji answers, "I'm not too picky."

"Actually...!" Kohaku interjects with newfound fortitude, "I was thinking that we..." She begins to lose her gusto, "...Could just go youandme?"

(INT ROLL: 19+10)

"Just us?" You glance at everyone, unsure of how to proceed. "Uh..."

[] ???????????????????????????????????????

OOC: It is up to you if you want Yumi to realize what's going on.
 
[X] "Uh, sure? That's fine I guess, just let me call some delivery for everyone else, then we can go. Don't really wanna keep their lunch waiting."
-[X] Yumi has absolutely no idea why Kohaku is so uncomfortable or why she wants it to be just the two of them

I'm assuming the pizza place does delivery.

I'm curious if Shoji can guess on what it about.

Yumi "Denser Than A Brick Wall" Konishi at her finest.
 
I mean, he already knows Kohaku likes Yumi, so there's that.
Does he? i don't think we had a actual scene where it show. We know the dude was down in the dump after most likely a convo with Kohaku. But depending on what Kohaku actually said. He might not know she into Yumi. Unless my memory is acting up again.

Let her slowly pick up on things during the date and realize at the end!

Now begins Kohaku's quest to break down Yumi's density, The Heart Thief (among other romance novels she's likely read) don't fail her now!

1055: Cruising On Autopilot
[X] Yumi "Skull Thicker Than Bedrock" Konishi

"Uh, sure?" You glance around the room awkwardly, "That's cool, I guess. Let me just, uh, call up some delivery for the others! We'll go right after--?"

"Eh, it's cool." Shoji shrugs, "I'll foot the bill on this one."

"You sure? I mean, it's not--?"

"Go with Kohaku!" Shoji smiles as he lightly taps your arm, "I've got pizza covered."

You relent, knowing this is a fight you can't win, "Alright, alright! See you guys in a bit!" After a quick wave, you and Kohaku leave for the pizza shop.

(EVENT ROLL: 62)

The walk is filled with... Silence. Not the usual kind, either, where you're both just comfortable with everyone's presence.

..."Tense" might be an apt description, but it's not like the tenseness before a fight. It's more like...

...Something is waiting to happen, or someone is waiting to act, or...

...You shake your head. This is getting you nowhere. Maybe you could try thinking of something else?

Why did Kohaku seem so insistent on being alone with you? She likes Kyoko and Yuma, and she's gotta be comfortable around Shoji, but--?

"W-We're here, Yumi!" Kohaku tugs on your jacket sleeve.

"Oh! I didn't even notice!" Man, you sure zoned out for a while, huh? Whatever's got Kohaku so nervous must be starting to get to you, too.

Seating is quick, and ordering is even quicker. Kohaku gives you the reigns on what pizza you'll be sharing, so you decide to order...

[] Write in a pizza!
-[] Then, ?????????????????????????????????
 
For reference, this is what we got the last time we split a pizza with Kohaku;
"I'm gonna need a large pizza, half with double pepperoni and peppers." You tell the lady at the register. "To go, by the way!"

"Okay, and for the other half?" She asks with a smile.

You look to Kohaku.

She blinks in surprise, "Oh, you want me to-- Okay, I'll have... Mushrooms, and... Aww, heck, just double up on mushrooms, please."
I think Kohaku's half is particularly important to remember here.

-[X] Just talk with Kohaku. Tell her about things that have happened since she's been away. You never really had a chance to just be you and her for a long time.

"just be you and her"? Something definitely feels off here, but I don't know for sure if I've got it right.

Konishi, Part 0.9, 4/?
Even the greatest heroes fall.
You, despite being neither, met such a shameful end. Shot in the back by something wearing your best friend's face. And, in such a cowardly move, you failed to save your world. You failed to save your love. You failed to save anything. You failed. You failed. You--

"...Yuki." Kohaku's voice echoes in your ears, sounding impossibly far off, and yet... "...Yuki, I know you can hear me."

>"I can..."
>>"Koh... Ha... Ku...?"
>Grumble a little.


"Koh... Ha...?" You barely manage to breathe out.

"I'm right here, Yuki." Kohaku assures you, "I'm here."

"I..." You huff, trying desperately to keep some kind of composure, "...I'm sorry."

"Save your strength. You're going to need it." You feel her fingers in your hair, "I know you, Yuki. I know that you have a lot of love in your heart. Love for me, love for your family, love for our friends..." You can hear her calm breaths, "...But I also know you can't leave a battle half done."

Kohaku's voice seems so much clearer now, like she's pulled you right to her from...

"...Shoji...!" You try to move, but your body fails to respond.

"I know, I know...!" She assures you, running her fingers through your hair again, "But you can't face him like this. You're tired, and hurt, and broken." You sense that a sad smile has graced her face, "Just like I was."

There's a familiar warmness seeping into your every pore. This light being cast down upon you...!

"Is this...?" You try to ask, opening your eyes. Everything is blurry, but you know that you're inside of the Maze of Eternity's innermost sanctum.

"It is." Kohaku confirms, looking down at you from where you lay, "This place is linked to you. It's where you feel safest, calmest, and I..." She trails off.

"Is it over...?" You ask, locking eyes with her, "Did I...?"

"No." With a calm determination, Kohaku shakes her head, "You did everything that you could. But... I didn't."

"...What...?"

"My magic." Kohaku explains, "I should've tried to heal you before... It tried to stab you."

"...Heat of the moment...!" You weakly raise your hand to poke her in the cheek, "It happens...!"

"It shouldn't. Not to you." Kohaku closes her eyes as you begin to feel... Everything again, "But now, I'm gonna fix my mistake."

"Kohaku...?" You stare up at her in confusion, "What do you...?!"

You see it.

You see what she's talking about about.

You know what she's doing.

"Kohaku, don't...!" Your heart pounds in your chest as you reach up to her fading form, "Kohaku!"

"This is for the best." She closes her eyes as tears begin to fall upon your face, "You can't die here, Yuki. I won't let you. Not now, not ever." She smiles, motes of light flying up out of her and into the sky, "I will always be with you, watching over you. So long as you carry on, I will carry you."

"This is gonna kill you!" God damnit, why can't you move?! "I don't want to--!"

"I'm giving you everything, of my own volition." She puts her fading hand on your forehead, "You made it possible for me to choose for the first time in my life. And I'm choosing this. Let me fix you the same way you fixed me."

"Kohaku!!" You shout, finally finding the strength to move, "Koha--!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"...Ku...!!" You sputter as you shoot up off of the ground. Kohaku stands just in front of you.

...Or, a statue that looks like her. All that's left after that stunt.

The thing wearing Shoji's body stares at you in abject horror. "NOOOOOOOO!!" It wails in Shoji's voice, his head not even attached to his body at this point. There's just a golden mask replacing his face.

You rise slowly, shambling over to what remains of Kohaku.

"You insolent harlot!!" It shouts, pointing at the body of stone, "You've ruined everything!! That power was to be Mine! And you've wasted your pathetic existence on this... On this vermin?! Idiot! You worthless, wretched--!!"

"Worthless...?" Your voice is low, but pierces his raving like an arrow, "Wasted?"

The Pretender glowers down at you, "You have something to say to Me, your Creator? Speak unto Me your last words clearly, you--"

"Kohaku is a lot of things." You cut it off again, "Caring, protective, gentle... Maybe even a little reckless." Your eyes meet the Pretender's, and you manifest your sword off of your back, "But she isn't worthless, you fuck!"

"And you believe you know the worth and value of a life better than I?"

"Shut your fucking mouth!" You scream out in utter, visceral hatred, "You don't know jack shit about her! You just saw her power and her magic, and wanted it all for yourself! You don't care about anything other than keeping yourself as the head honcho! You can't love, you've never even lived!" You pant out, stepping closer, "And now, I've only got one question for you..." A bright blue glow begins to drown out the golden veneer of the Pretender, "...What happens when a god dies?"
