***Emma's Pov***

" I'm home." I greeted them then took off my shoes and was greeted with a fragrant smell coming from the kitchen.

" Elwpan ohme, Mmaa. (Welcome home, Emma)" Greeted my brother, his dace stuff with Taiyaki.

" Ah, Welcome home, Emma." Greeted our eldest brother, who's at the kitchen making early dinner. Nodded my head and directly went into my room, ignoring my brother's question.

I got inside with a huff then flopped myself on the bed. Suddenly, the image of Akemi popped into my head making me smile. Her eyes were mesmerizing, her touches were so warm and everything about her is wonderful, not to mention her smile that matches her innocent facade like an angel. I looked at the sunflower tie and necklace that she gave and smiled, recalling our time.

" I want to meet her again..." I murmured out. That's when a knock on my doorstep interrupted.

" Emma, It's time for dinner." Called Shinichiro. I got up to open the door. " I'm coming," I answered and joined him to the kitchen, seeing Manjiro sitting on the chair already eating his food.

" Manjiro, I said to wait." Shinichiro scolded but my dumb brother just stuck his tongue out, like the little brat he is. We then sat down to get our plate of food, unfortunately, grandpa won't be joining us.

" He said that he has some stuff to do and won't be back for a while. By the way, why did you come home late without informing us, Emma? We were getting worried."

" And you ignored me too. Mean, Emma... Is that how you treat your precious brothers?" Whined Mikey while dramatically placing a hand on his chest, acting offended. Annoyed, I just ignored him again and face Shinichiro.

" I can handle myself, plus... I had to check on something that I wanted to buy. Unfortunately, they were out of stock." I explained, even though it was partly a lie.

" What about that sunflower tie and necklace? I've never seen you wear that." Letting out an 'oh', as I eyed the sunflower tie that's given by a 'friend' or the angel.

" A 'friend' gave it to me..." Smiling to myself then continued to eye the item.

" You finally found a friend? That's good, Emma. But I'm worried if that person's using you for their gain." I am aware but Akemi isn't that type of person. She's a person with a golden heart that matches her gorgeous appearance.

" I'm aware but she isn't that kind of person... She's more than meets the eye." I answered. Only to see my brothers giving off a weird look.

" What?" I asked. And received no answer.

" Umm, Emma... As much as I didn't want to assume things... Uhh— Are you in love or something?"

' Oh. That's it?'

" So what?" I glared at my brothers that got them to shiver.

" I thought, you like Ken—"

" Changed my mind! Shut up!" I exclaimed and threw a piece of meat straight on the man-child's face. My eyes landed on Shinichiro, who surrendered immediately by putting his hands up in the air.

' Damn right should they be afraid of me. Cause I have reserved my 7-inch heeled stilettos.'

( Inui: Where can I buy those?

Kokonoi: *Covering his Weiner and prepared to surrender his black card*)

We continued dinner with no further casualties. Honestly, scratch that when the man-child involves. Manjiro kept persisting to answer his question on who was that ' she person that meets the eye'. My response is to ignore him cause there's this probability that he'll scare away that girl and my shots on being alone with her could ruin it or something worse.

" Emma! If you don't tell me, I'll kick down the door!" A tick mark appeared on my head then went to the closet to grab something before opening the door. Standing on my doorstep is the man-child with Shinichiro restraining him. As he has going to say something, I immediately pointed my said seven-inch stilettos in front of his face making my brothers go pale.

" Are you deaf or something, Manjiro?" He shook his head as Shinichiro dragged him out somewhere safe. " Good riddance." Then went inside my room.

' Finally some peace.'

————

The next day, I woke up on my bed. Then started stretching my muscles before doing my daily morning routine. And as I was going to grab the sunflower tie and necklace, only to find it missing.

" Huh?!" Quickly panicking then searched the entire room. I quickly got out of my room to ask my brothers, but stop to see a commotion in the living room.

" Manjiro! Give those items back or Emma will kill you!" Shinichiro scolded the man-child while trying to retrieve the items, I was looking for. But, he refused then started to retaliate.

" Nope! I found it and it's mine." Man-child stuck out his tongue, like the brat that he is. That's when all eyes are on me. Good, so they could see my anger and the stilettos in hand. They shivered at the sight, mainly man-child and that's my cue to show the other pair of my stilettos.

" What's yours, Manjiro~?"

" AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Ah yes, their screams of agony singing into my ears, so early in the morning.

( I'd rather die to a bullet in the head rather than get tortured by a pair of stilettos.)

*** Ken— Draken's Pov***

I am walking through Sano's residence to pick up Mikey to school or wake him up again. Honestly, it's such a pain in the ass like I'm some nanny, yet, I don't get paid. Instead, I'm paying my wages.

" Oi, Mikey. You better be awa— What happened here?" I murmured as I walk into some kind of crime scene? On the floor are the Sano brothers, who are pale and looking dead. Looking around to see Emma not around, so I asked for her whereabouts.

" S- She a-al-already l- le- le- left..." Shinichiro answered weakly, as if those were his last words then collapsed. Mikey's eyes were in shock, plus he was still wearing his pajamas.

" What happened?" I asked again but received no response from them. Sighing to myself then left their residence, cause I'm not dealing with this bull. Though, wondering what got them to be dead, not literally.

' Does Emma have anything to do with these?' Don't get me wrong, it's not appropriate to jump through conclusions. Plus, I'm not fucking Sherlock Holmes. While walking, I stumbled across a girl with blonde hair and no doubt about it — it's Emma, with someone? Curiosity took the best of me and decided to follow them.

' Huh? Emma's got a friend now... Neat.' Not that I'm upset but pitied her, due to her status of being Sanos' brothers who are in a gang. They tend to avoid her like a plague, no matter how much she tried her best to interact or be friendly. Then there are those people who befriend just to gain popularity which is shit. That's why Manjiro and I would take her sometimes to join us, so she won't feel too lonely and would protect her.
As I watched, her companion chatting with Emma who's happy and smiling. This made me smile, just admiring her beauty. ( He was talking to Emma, crush)

Both of them took a turn as I continued to follow cause I'm curious about who's her companion. As I got a little closer, my body suddenly froze in place when my ears heard her voice. And her appearance left me speechless, which made me think that I was hallucinating. Her black hair flows smoothly, her voice smooth and serene and most of all is her eyes... as blue as the sky and as clear as the sea. Mesmerized another profound beauty, only to grunt in pain when my body hit a pole. Cursing under breathe then quickly hid behind a wall to avoid them.

" Did you hear something?" I heard the raven-haired girl ask.

" Yeah, I did. Let's just go, Akemi-chan." My mind stopped working to hear that certain name. I watched to see Emma grabbing the girl as they ran away, making me lose sight of them.

' Akemi, huh? Where did I hear that name?' Realization quickly snapped, making my eyes widen.

" Holy shit... That's her." And I have to admit, Kazutora and Pah-chin were right. She is an angel. That's when I felt something odd as my heart began to beat... Wait, Shouldn't I have a crush on Emma?

( You can have both... *Cough**cough* I can guarantee that.

Friend: Ayo! Is that a spoiler?

Maybe?)

*** Takemichi's Pov***

" Thanks for accompanying me to school, Akemi-chan. Sucks that we enrolled at different schools." I laughed at Emma's pout, so I hugged her to satisfy her.

" That's ok. We could hang out sometime if we ever see each other again."

" We will right?" She asked as her face went grim. Feeling bad, I rub circles around her back to comfort her.

" I told you, we will meet each other again. I promised." Emma didn't say anything but only hugged me tightly. I noticed the students watching us but ignored them as payback for ignoring her or whatever bad intentions they have. So why am I here, with Emma and accompanying her to school? Well, I decided to give her another hang out before telling her about my departure so she won't feel down and thought that I left her. When I'm just going to meet her again, in my genderbent disguise that is.

That went for a few minutes and when it was time for our "last" departure. She did something I never expected her to do, during our meetings.

" Thanks again, Akemi-chan. Once we meet again, It'll only just be the two of us alone. Bye~" She gave a wink then ran inside the school, still ignoring the students' gaze before their gaze landed back to me. I just stood frozen in place as my hand touched the part of my cheek where she kissed.

( And this is my cue to move into another country, which is Brazil! 🇧🇷 Baby~!)

It's been a while to received another kiss or give a kiss in this timeline. Sure, I kissed Pah-chin on the cheek, Kaku-chan and I were only using butterfly kisses and Taku-chan and I were only "platonic" ones on the forehead. Felt kinda bad that I didn't give any 'Platonic' kisses to the other people whom I met first, Kokonoi, Inui, Akane-san, Kazutora... etc. Don't know why I feel like it but they say that 'kisses' help.

( What are you, their Mom? Honestly, you kinda are.)

As I left the school gates, I only noticed a figure leaving. Suspicious, I approached where the figure went and was face to face with a boy with blonde braided hair and a dragon tattoo on the side of his shaved head. And Instantly knew, who this person is but he doesn't know who am I.

" Hello?" I spoke first which greatly surprised him. We stared at each other for a long time that I had to cough and snap him back to reality.

" Oh, Uhm... sorry about that. It's just that, you were hanging out with my friend's sister. The name's Ken Ryuguji but call me Draken... you're also beautiful..." I heard him mutter the last part, making me flustered but soon died out to admire his flushed face.

' So, this is what dorky Draken looks like, huh? Aww~ So adorable!'

" Thank you, you're quite the looker too." I complimented and was joyed to see him getting all flustered. Can't help it, I've always wanted to see their dorky and flustered side cause I have a soft spot for it. He muttered a 'thanks' which I smiled again.

" Nice to meet you, Draken-kun. My name's Akemi, please to meet you." I held out my hand for a handshake, which he accepted giving a light shake.

" Anyways, I should take my leave. It was nice knowing you, Draken-kun. May we meet sometime?" I recommended the last part, cause this is awkward. Though, I'm curious on why isn't Mikey around?

" Uhm... Is it ok if we hang out for a while? I kinda wanted to know you better, especially when our gang started talking about you."

" Gang?" I acted confused then snapped my fingers, pretending to realize something.

" Oh! It's no wonder your name sounds familiar. You're one of Tora-chan and Pan-chan's friends, right? Called Toman, right?"

***Draken's Pov***

' Holy shit, was I surprised from her sudden outburst. But gotta admit, that was cute.' My face flushed seeing her eyes sparkle and shine before composing myself.

" Uhh... Yeah. Wait... Tora-chan? And Pan-chan?" She nodded her head enthusiastically.

" I gave them those nicknames. Want me to give you a nickname too? Kazutora is Tora-chan while Pachin-kun is Pan-chan!" She asked. Let me tell you, it took me every fibre of my being to not jump in joy like some Highschool girl getting her senpai's attention for the first time. Also, I wanted to laugh at Pachin's nickname.

" Why would you name..." I almost snorted but coughed to stop myself from doing so. " Name Pachin 'Pan'? You're calling him bread." I reasoned out and not to mention, it's humiliating.

" Cause Pan-chan is like a loaf of bread and his cheeks are squishy and fun to pinch, plus it's soft like his personality except for the outside cause it's crusty. Don't tell him that, please..." I gave a small chuckle from her reasoning, as it makes much more sense. " Don't worry, I won't tell. Your secrets are safe with me." I told her while placing a finger on my lips as if I pledge an oath but behind was my other hand doing a cross. I may look like the person who keeps secrets, only to use them for tea or blackmail purposes.

" Thank you, Draken-kun." Her smile has gotten brighter every second and I'm very blessed.

" And to answer your question, sure we could hang out. I think it's nice to skip classes for a while. Let me chat with my friends to cover for me." She brought out her phone and started typing, only to hear a notification making her smile.

" There we go, it's done. So where to, Draken-kun?" She asked while taking away her phone.

" Follow me." I held my hand out for her to take and once she accepted the gesture, we started running.

***Maxe's Pov***

' Man, school sucks...' I sat at the very end of the classroom with my twin beside me, as we waited for Sapphire. So far, she hasn't arrived yet, only to feel my phone vibrate. Classes still haven't started and screw those bitches at our front looking at us, I check to see Sapphire's message.

To: Maxe

From: Sapphire

Hey, Maxe... can you cover for me? I encountered Draken and asked to hang out with him.

I heard a whistle and found my twin looking at the text beside me.

" Correction: She's going on a date with Nanny Dragon." He joked and I just patted him on the head.

" Cool it, someone's soul might get crushed."

" Boo~ He ain't even here. Well, time to help Sapphire." I nodded my head then typed, 'ok'. As I was going to put my phone away, I heard some laughter then found ourselves gazing at some fuckers in front.

" Macey..." I said while pointing at the fuckers in front. He got the message and with a smirk, he brought his bag to create chaos. They started chasing him around out of the classroom while I just took a nap cause there was peace.

' I'll repay him later...'

————

***Takemichi's Pov***

Draken and I stopped at an ice cream shop, with him paying. Not that surprising for a young lad like him to work in a brothel. We asked each other questions then answered them, though I lied at some parts.

" So Akemi..."

" Hmm?"

" What do you think about gangs?" Letting out an 'oh', I finished my ice cream before answering his question.

" I think it's pretty chill, why?"

" Aren't you afraid?"

" No. I've met you and the others who are decent. I'm not afraid."

' And I'm used to it already, being afraid and all...'.

He went silent for a moment.

" Draken-kun?" I called out. We gazed at each other which made things awkward.

" Hey..." Someone called out and thankfully removed that awkward tension. Unfortunately, I have to pay the price cause I'm familiar with who that voice belongs to.

" Oh Hey, Mitsuya."

" Umm... Hello?" I awkwardly joined in. His attention was drawn to me before eyeing Draken for some answers.

" This is Akemi. The girl Pah and Kazutora met, 'first'. Akemi, this is Mitsuya." Draken introduces. Mitsuya and I continue to make eye contact, before taking his hand out which I gladly took and gave a light shake.

" Nice to meet you, Akemi. Sorry for making you uncomfortable, I was just astounded by your beauty that I believed in Pachin and Kazutora's words." His words made me blush like always but successfully didn't show.

( Kazutora and Pachin: I told you! * then they proceeded to argue again*)

" Thank you, Mitsuya-kun. You're also handsome." I saw him blush at my compliment and like the others, cute.

" Thank you..." I hear him mutter, and I just smiled.

" By the way, what are you doing here Mitsuya? It's not like you to skip classes, so early in the morning." Draken interrupted, but the tone of his voice was different and I can't put my finger on it. Mitsuya seemed to have gotten it and I wonder what.

" Oh... No one could take care of Mana and Luna, so mom told the teacher that I'll be absent for a day. I'm just getting groceries then spotted you too. What are you guys doing skipping classes? Also, why is Mikey not around?" He asked.

" The Mikey one is a long story. I invited Akemi to get to know her since she's made quite the topic from the two. Plus, I saw her hanging out with Emma. Oh yeah, why were you with Emma?" They eyed me for answers that I took a gulp.

" Well, Someone was harassing her so I took action. That's where we became friends, I swear that I wasn't using her for some selfish gain. The reason why I skipped was that Draken-kun invited me and since he's one of Pan-chan and Tora-chan's friends... I wanted to get to know him too."

" Pan-chan and Tora-chan?" Mitsuya asked as he eyed Draken.

" Kazutora is Tora-chan while Pachin's Pan-chan." Draken answered in a straight face, but we could feel him trying to smother his laughs.

" But Pan is how we call 'Bread'?" I answered his question which made him chuckle as he ruffled my hair.

" As long as Pah's ok with it."

" Do you want a nickname too, Mitsuya-kun? Draken-kun didn't want one, so I'm asking you." I said. Mitsuya gave a shocked expression before being flustered which makes my heart soft.

' They're so cute whenever their dorky side comes!'

" N- No thank you, just call me Takashi." I let out a pout but I think I know the reason why.

' Hakkai-kun has given him one... plus, I haven't thought of a nickname for him before.'

" Ok, Takashi-kun." We started chatting for a moment, only to be interrupted by Draken's cough.

' Is he not feeling well?'

( In health? yes. But in jealousy? 👀)

" Mitsuya... Shouldn't you go back to take care of your sisters?"

" Oh yeah, sorry for wasting your time, Takashi-kun. Maybe next time, let's hang out especially with your sisters. They sound adorable." Scratch that, they are adorable! God, Mitsuya's lucky and hanging out with them was enjoyable on some timelines. This is one of the reasons why I tried to protect him before, for his sisters' sake. And seeing them sad due to his death made me sick that I wasn't eating
properly, not even Yakisoba's going to fix it.

As soon as Mitsuya left, we promised that if then we'd hang with his sisters. Turning my attention to Draken, he suggests going to a park but was interrupted by a call. Excusing himself before accepting it with his face going sour.

After waiting for a minute, he came back with ice cream in both hands. Giving one to me, saying that it's compensation cause his 'friend' called and whined about leaving him. His face still had a sour expression and I could understand that.

" God, I wanted to leave that man-child." I gave out a giggle then thought of an idea. Holding out my hand and motioned Drake to lower himself and as he did, I kissed him on the cheek as I did to Pachin. He gave me a shocked expression, giving me a good laugh again.

" Sorry, it seems like you needed something to calm you down. It's too young and early for you to get stressed out. Anyways, thanks for the ice cream, Draken-kun. Bye." And with that, I left without looking back nor letting him give a response back.

***Draken's Pov***

As soon as she left, I felt my face heat up and didn't care that the ice cream was melting on my hand.

" Holy shit..." I muttered out but smiled. That's when my happy moment was interrupted by a certain man-child. Picking up my phone then pressed accept, I brought the phone as far away from my ear cause of the whining noises.

" Keeeeeeeennnnn-chhhhiiiiinnnn~ Where are you?! I'm bored and lonely here at home! Waaah! Baka- Ken-chin! Why'd you leave me?!" I immediately hang up the phone, listening enough to his tantrums.

' Like I give a shit. Stupid brat.'

***End Of Chapter****

What makes y'all think that I'm letting Mikey meet Michi first? Hah! No, He's last and so are some.

* Hears a gunshot* I said get better aim, Simp! 🖕 *starts running*

Originally, I was going straight for Michi's second-year middle school but that's too fast. And because I've wanted Mitsuya and Draken to meet Michi first. *hears more gunshots but it didn't come from Simp* what the fuck?

... Aww~ Dang. More simps on the way to kill me.

I'm sorry Mitsuya but I'm saving some kiss parts for you on some chapters... Maybe more than Draken.

Draken: Excuse me?

I said what I said! * dodges a bullet* Yeesh... Rude much?
