Different people

"Thanks for staying with me" The prince said looking at sari

"Hmph" she said and sat down "it's nothing" she smiled before walking out.

The doctor rushed in to see his patients he couldn't believe the young man is awake as soon as he saw the shirtless man sipping from his cup slowly he almost fainted.

"How" he screamed enough to get yoshi's attention

"Hi doctor" yoshi waved

"Argh" the doctor groaned he almost fell but was caught by his assistant who lifted him, he opened his mouth unable to close it and widened his eyes repeatedly with his hands trying to see if it is real or not. He grabbed his glasses and wore it but when the view stayed the same he cleaned them and walked out.

Yoshi smirked watching the man leave

He was discharged few hours later leaving behind a traumatized doctor and bewildered nurses.

"You were screaming in your sleep" sari said looking down as they walk towards yoshi's home.

"I was ?" he asked puzzled he had no idea what happened when he was unconscious

"Yeah you were muttering words and calling out names"

"Hm hmm" he nodded further increasing the awkward silence between the both of them

They walked faster without saying a word till they get to the entrance of yoshi's place

Sari turned her back prepared to leave when he invited her in she paused to think before accepting his offer.

She entered and greeted the house a tradition of hers yoshi never understood.

"Why do you always do that greet the house".

"To show appreciation"

"I don't understand"

"It's complicated"

"Tell me sari how did you end up here"

"My story" she sighed before leaning back she recounted the things that lead to her death "I caused it" she said

"What ?" Yoshi gasped

"I did and that is how I ended up here." she turned away to avoid his eyes

"Uh it's okay if you aren't comfortable with this conversation" Yoshi said hoping to clear the air

"No it's not that. I'll tell you some other time"

"Take as much time as you need"

"Thanks"

"you're always welcome"

sari smiled in return.

*******

The silence grew longer between the both of them one could hear a pin drop unbeknownst to them they are surrounded by yula's men. An informant told them the poison didn't kill the prince so they're here to finish what they started. They are lead by yula's nephew who is a splitting image of his uncle he stands in front of the entrance with a proud smirk on his face.

Kaito who wants to follow his uncle steps. He was trained in the art of robbing and inflicting pain on others. He was reckless like his uncle leaving trail of devastation in his wake. Furthermore, he trailed his scar with his silver dagger, this time his poisoned weapon will taste the blood of a prince.

Yoshi has been meddling in their affairs, which is a habit of his, so he wants to put an end to it. Yoshi felt their presence trouble was brewing outside his house he quickly alert sari who isn't surprised to see them.

"What is kaito doing here" she whispered

"You know them" Yoshi asked hoping to get some answers before attending to his unwanted guests

"Kaito is yula nephew"

"Who is yula"

"King of thieves"

Kaito patience was running thin he wants to meet the new hero of the dead world. Usually they break into the homes of those they consider their enemies, but today he is looking for a dramatic entrance and duel or a little war. His wish was blessed when the door opened he saw the prince and rolled his eyes followed by his ex lover.

He chuckled watching the woman. Now he is about to kill them both he thought smirking in his head.

"Look boys it is my ex and her new prince" he said loudly

His men laughed before wearing their serious face.

"Hello love" he said to sari "They told me you know how to talk dont tell me the poison made you mute" he said referring to yoshi silence since he came into the party

"Boss he might be deaf too" Hinata said earning laughs from the rest.

"It's okay I'll put him out of his misery soon enough my dear Hinata"

Yoshi watched them silently shaking his head at their stupidity. He finds their humor nonsensical, he took a last look at kaito and sighed before drawing his sword.

"I'll give you one more chance to keep your head if you disappear right now with your friends"

"Hear that boys, hippie here wants to give me another chance. Let me introduce myself bitch I am death itself Kaito Akuma悪魔and today you're going to die by my dagger he said pointing his little weapon."

"Your choice fiend" Yoshi replied stepping back hoping to end him once and for all

Sari watched from a corner as the two began to fight, she didn't want to get carried away so as not get trapped. She knows what will happen if yoshi win or lose the fight, the Dorobō 泥棒 are ready to shed blood. She feared for their lives and tried to focus.

They all have their daggers with them laced with poison, yoshi swing his sword he pressed the tip of his blade into his opponent's flesh. Kaito fell, his hand started burning he had no idea why the cut felt that way since this isn't the first time he was sliced or stabbed. He groaned and held his bloody arm he knew he was about to lose the arm, but he will not fall without a fight.

Yoshi touched his forhead and wiped off the excess blood he is losing. He knows he has been poisoned again but his blade has other plans, Kaito hands has burned down the next thing to burn is his head.
