It hurt, after everyone had reunited.. they had found out you had been found and taken by the world government. You were like a little sibling to him.
You weren’t even 17 when they took you away from him. You would always follow him around, even if it got you two lost due to his terrible sense of direction.. you would idolize him, you wanted to help him reach his dream of becoming the worlds greatest swordman, yet it was painfully obvious.

“Oi.. get away! I’m not fighting you!”
He yelled as he tensed up and glare at you as he got ready to defend himself.
