“Now I have my conditions Kyori. The most notable one is the fact that you treat Mitsuko with respect, and with time I hope you eventually learn to respect me as well
We obviously didn’t start on the right foot so allow me to introduce myself. I am Jean Cross and this is Mitsuko. Miki does your room at headquarters have an extra bed for her to use?

“Yeah and the sheets are washed. I washed them before I left to head back to Sougen. Things have been so busy with me lately that I don’t come around the headquarters often especially since I teach the children, but since Kyori will be staying at HQ for a while I’ll stay with her. I won’t leave her alone.”

Kyori thought for a moment over the self proclaimed angel remarking on Remi telling her anything to keep her out of Veyyard, even bashing bounty hunters. "Actually... If I remember correctly... I don't think Remi ever said a word about Bounty Hunters..." She responded a bit quietly, looking away. "It was the... family of sorts... that I grew up with... most of them would talk about evading bounty hunters... and talked bad of them so often... Remi never spoke of anything inside of Veyyard..."
As the girl called over her father who wasn't her biological father, as Kyori understood it, Kyori began to feel a pit in her stomach at the thought of living with bounty hunters. She had always been a lawbreaker and was never very disciplined aside from learning how to be fast and agile and wield a knife and pickpocket, things that helped her thrive and survive in Veyyard and outside of Veyyard so far.
Kyori felt that sinking feeling inside even more when the bounty hunter began to talk about treating them with respect and such before proceeding to formal introductions. Despite this feeling, she held her stand and maintained her eye contact with the man she now knew was named Jean, that determined look still on her face despite the inner anxiety slowly building.
Kyori listened to the two of them talk about a place for her to sleep, sharing a room with Mitsuko at their headquarters. As the sinking feeling continued to sink, the look on Kyori's face dropped completely as her eyes sort of looked between the two. She felt a little sick in the back of her throat but held herself back. There were many factors developing this anxiety within her, the three main ones being; the possibility of seeing Remi again and how he might react, having to go back into Veyyard which she had thought she left for good, and the fact that she was about to move in with bounty hunters and actually help them, probably against people very much like the ones she grew up with.
A moment later, Kyori suddenly took off towards a row of bushes nearby and leaned between a couple of them, throwing up due to that building anxiety. When she was done, she wiped off her mouth and used her saliva to help clear her mouth out, spitting some of the excess into the bushes where she had thrown up before pulling herself slowly back up steadily on her feet.

Jean took out his cellphone and called Eve back at headquarters. He had to tell her that a new person was going to join headquarters and if she could get some food ready. He could tell that both Mitsuko and Kyori looked famished.
This has been quite a day and he was ready to turn in himself once they get back, he also needed to have a father daughter talk with Mitsuko about how she has been feeling with the scar that she had gotten after, her father had stabbed her and the surgery had followed.
He knew that the scar would sometimes cause her pain, but he also knew that scar wouldn’t fade. Jean had watched how Mitsuko moved and if he felt that she would make a movement that would cause her pain, he would support her body until she got over the painful feeling.
“Miki.. Does that scar still feel fresh? Your father is going to pay for this. The wound may have healed but the surgery scar causes you pain if you move in the wrong way. Just hang onto me for a while. I just can’t believe you are going to be with this pain for the rest of your life. Does Zero know? Do you tell him when you are getting pain on your side?”
In the background Jean could hear someone throwing up, and that someone is Kyori. Getting concerned, Jean along with Mitsuko go to a nearby vending machine in a store and get a gingerale to help ease Kyori’s upset stomach. Jean took it over to her and gave her a smile.
“Here this should help. You can also think of this as a peace offering.”
Jean was no longer mad at Kyori instead he started to treat her like a friend now. Thinking back to how he acted in the situation he also felt bad. He has just been under so much pressure lately that it got the better of him.
“I am sorry. Here I am talking to you about respect, but I don’t think I gave you respect at the beginning. I apologize Kyori. No wonder you let me have a few F bombs.”

“What am I supposed to say dad, Zero babe watch how you are hugging me because the surgery scar causes me pain? If I told him that he would be a little scared to hug me because he never wants me to be in pain, much less get him more angry at my biological father even though he is in custody, for attempted murder.
Oh god… it feels like the pain is shifting from one end to the scar to the next. If anything I will tell Zero about it if it becomes unbarable at times and get him to check it if he could.”
As soon as they get back to HQ Mitsuko will help Kyori get settled in and lie down for a bit as her surgery pain kept lancing. She had to take a few deep breaths to try and ease the pain and when she heard Kyori throwing up she got worried as well. Despite her own physical pain she asked her, after they gave her the gingerale:
“Are you okay Kyori? Try taking a few deep breaths it should help. If it doesn’t settle down by the time we get back I can ease it for you if you let me.”

When Jean brought over a gingerale and handed it towards Kyori saying it's a peace offering, Kyori hesitated for a moment as she saw the bottle then looked up to see Jean smiling at her. A bit confused but quickly pushing herself over that, Kyori accepted the drink. "Th..thanks..." She said a bit hesitantly as she looked at him still with an unsure expression.
She was a bit surprised after that to hear an apology from Jean and when he mentioned her f bombs, she cracked a slight smile with a single chuckle. "Yeah..." She began as she looked away, a kind of mild sheepish expression on her face. "That was probably the first time I actually got caught... " She looked at him again with a sharp look a second after, her small crack of a smile gone again. "Although that was only because I was being overconfident and lazy in my escape. Otherwise, I would have gotten away." She finished, looking away again with her arms crossed.
Kyori glanced back over at Mitsuko again as she spoke to her. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said, looking away again, not really wanting to admit about her anxieties. She stared down at the bottle in her hand and released her arms as she let out a quiet breath of air. She then opened the bottle and took a sip, feeling the fizz run down her throat. Afterwards, she closed the bottle again, staring at it while running over the thoughts of seeing Remi again with a somewhat concerned look on her face.

“You are so used to not getting caught right? Understandable, but I also understand that both of our emotions were running high and when people argue well of course they want to prove that they are right, and the other person is wrong. Being chief also means you don’t get much sleep.
Since I haven’t gotten a chance to rest properly I got moody, and it carried over as I confronted you. We bounty hunters are known for short tempers, beside Mitsuko. She seems immune to that for some reason hahaha!”
“But seriously that may have to do with what she is, though her love Zero is known in throwing an F bomb here and there too. I never have though. Imagine if you and him have a shouting match who would win?
I think Kyori you will fit right in. About your overconfidence… You may want to be careful about that. It may get the better of you on the battle field and we don’t want you dead. So lesson one keep your confidence in check, and be aware of your own limits.”
Jean eventually picked Mitsuko up as she could no longer walk because of her pain.
“And working with other’s is important, there will be times in which you will be working with other people and getting the job done. Depending on how well you do you can get a nickname. Here are some examples that have already been taken-
Zero= Nil Hunter= Crane Eve- Dangerous beauty Miki- Princess
“We’ll discuss more as soon as we get some rest okay? But before that I have to take care of angel face here, she isn’t feeling well and then after that I will be more than willing to show you around after you have had some time to relax.”
“Oh right. We are not enemies Kyori you are now an ally. Remember that I am not against you, I was before because of what you had done, but I have a heart. I know when to apologize. If there is anything you will require let me know. Oh and if you see any bugs crawling around that is just Zero’s partner friends, or pets.
Miki doesn’t like them though. She usually scolds hunter in making a mess and not cleaning up after himself.”
Jean now has a calm and friendly look on his face as he looked at Kyori, as they were on their way to HQ.
