***3rd person Pov***

Takemichi sat down at a designated café that she and her companion agreed on. While waiting, she started messaging the twins in a group chat. After about thirty minutes, 'He' finally arrived and was out of breath, like he ran a marathon. Takamichi smiled, not bothered by his tardiness.

" You finally arrived, I was worried that you've abandoned me again." The girl foreshadowed, though her partner never suspected it and only smiled on meeting her.

" Never again, I'd slit my wrist for that." He answered while panting, still tired from running. The girl giggled then suggested that he should rest and she'll order for both of them. He agreed and then proceeded to do so, sitting in front of Takemichi and then using both of his arms as a pillow for him to lay. After ordering their food and killing time, Takemichi stroked her companion's head with a smile, if it weren't for the bitter feeling. Memories from the past timelines showed, her expression slowly forming into a rage and her sudden bloodlust acting up. After seeing her hand close to his neck, wanting to strangle him.

' Shit... It's showing. Calm down, Michi. Remember Maxe's lessons...' Taking a deep breath while going back to stroking her companion's head, slowly calming herself down just in time for their food to arrive. " Kaku-chan~ Wake up." She said, lightly shaking the boy's back. He woke up while groaning a little while rubbing his eyes, then greeted by the girl's smile making him blush.

( Not me wishing to be in Kakucho's place 😒✋)

" H-hey, Hana..." Not caring for his stutters as he's still affixed to the girl's smile. It doesn't help when the sun perfectly blends with her beauty, hypnotizing him even further.

" Hey, you going to eat or let the flies have them?" The girl asked while pointing at the food below him, snapping back to reality. Though, he's still living the reality of having a date with his childhood lover. He thought of initiating a date, only to be surprised when Takmichi was the one who did it first. Maybe next time, he'll do one better.

" Ah, Sorry..." He apologized before focusing on his food. Though his eyes would randomly look at the girl and blush he got caught.

" What? Got something on my face or having love at first sight vibes?" Takemichi suddenly asked, laughing and enjoying Kakucho's shy and flustered face. Just brings back memories of when they were kids, including Grandma who was alive and became their Wingwoman. The two continued communicating throughout their whole date, recalling the past and laughing at the foolish things they'd done since they were together.

" Remember when we broke into Masaru's house just to retrieve granny's stolen jewelry?" Asked the girl while poking the cherry on her sundae. Kakucho's expression as his smile turned into a frown. " You got in trouble after that, then received a scar from Masaru for defending me. Do you still have it?" The girl smiled at his question and then nodded her head. " I see." Seeing him frowning saddens her, so she taught of an idea to cheer him up. Takemichi held both of his hands and then planted a kiss on both of them. Kakucho became even more flustered and embarrassed, hiding his face by looking down.

" You could've warned me..." He mumbled out, even though he enjoyed it.

" Oh come on now, just say that you enjoyed it."

" No..." The boy defended, receiving a pout from his companion.

" Want a kiss on the lips then?" She offered in a teasing tone, with him blushing even more.

" Please stop..." He begged. It didn't even help when there was an audience watching beside them. He secretly flipped them off, only earning a laugh or snicker.

( Readers: Oh no, I've been exposed. What will we ever do?)

The rest of the cafe date went smoothly, with Kakucho being more comfortable. Both of them started playfully flirting with each other, reminiscing about when they were kids. They left the cafe, not minding their hands intertwining together, sharing each other's warmth.

————

" Hey, Kaku-Chan..." The girl called out, her head resting on his shoulders. Both of them are seated at their secret spot, having a bird's eye view.

" Hmm?" He responded while pulling her near him, even making sure that she was in a more comfortable spot, being the "gentleman" that he is.

" Heard you that you joined a gang?" She asked and he stayed silent.

' Should I tell her? But it isn't a safe place for her...'

" Uh... Yeah..." He was hesitant on going further to answer her question and she knew that.

" It's fine. Whatever gang you're in, I'll accept. I promise to not get involved, you're protecting me from them, right?" Kakucho's eyes widened at her guess, like how did she know those? Takemichi smiled then pat his head. " It's nice to see you playing as my Hero now, but you know who's stronger between us." With that, she pulled him and their faces closed in. To his utter shock when he felt a weight on his lips till he realized that the girl was kissing him.

It only lasted for three seconds, when she pulled away smirking at him then winked at the end. Talemichi laughed when her date started blabbering incoherent words and his face red and heating.

' Heh, Still the Dork I remember. Cute as always.'

" Just admit that you love me, Tsun-Tsun Kaku-Chan."

" S-Shut up... Also, you didn't have to put the Tsundere."

" Then say that you love me."

" Fine... I lo...v...e...—u..." He mumbled looking away.

" I'll pout if you don't say it loud and clear."

" F-Fine... I- I love you."

Takemichi smiled and then pulled him into a hug while giving him another kiss on his lips, even though she had to tiptoe to reach his level. " See, that wasn't so hard now. Wasn't it?" Kakucho smiled, wrapping his arms around his date's waist and finally initiating the kiss.

" Yes, it wasn't."

***Macey's Pov***

" Macey..." Oh shit! Chills ran down my spine when my name got called out. Facing my fears then slowly turned to see my sister glaring at me.

" Yes, sister?"

" What did you do while I was away?" She asked while watching the chaotic scenario in front of us. We have Toman fighting over something that I had no control of anymore and just laughing at them, fulfilling my selfish boredom.

" Umm... I don't know what you're talking about." I tried to play it cool but my fears worsened when she took a step closer to me.

" Explain." She demanded. I sighed in defeat and then started the tale of what happened in front of us.

***Flashback***

A meeting is being held it's boring as fuck, like where are the thrills or fun and chaotic thing Toman does that Sapphire mentioned. I started fidgeting a bit, growing more impatient before yawning how boring to listen to some reports about gang territories. Sapphire and his sister aren't here at the moment, which makes it worse. The meeting finally ended which made me happy.

" Hey, Maxe..." I turned and was faced with a long raven-haired guy, whom I'm familiar with.

" Hey, Fang Meister. What ya want?"

" I'd like to ask about something..."

" Knock yourself out." I saw him fidget a little and I already knew where this is going. Seriously, these guys are too easy to predict. No wonder Kiss-Ass-King targeted them, though, except this Fang Meister, I guess.

" How long have you known Akemi?" My mouth was going to say something, only have something in mind that made me smirk on the inside. No lie, this dude is downright for Sapphire... most of these guys on this gang are.

' Well, this will be interesting. Hope Sapphire won't mind if mess with them a bit.'

" For about six years now, Why?"

" Well..." He fidgets a bit more while I'm just thinking about what's for dinner. " Is Akemi in a relationship now?" 'Oh? That's all?' My mind went blank before remembering a certain memory then grinned again. I placed an arm around his shoulders and then moved him away from the crowd for a private conversation.

" She's not, though she has suitors courting her." Foreshadowing her conversation with a certain Kaku-Chan last night and the phone call between her and Nanny Dragon. His face went grim and serious it's scary~ Oh my, This is fun.

" Suitors? As in with the 's'?"

" That's right, with the 's'... Plural." He looked at his gang as if he were investigating something.

" May I know who they are?"

" Why not take a guess? I'll give you a hint, it's not only on Toman other gangs too." Another foreshadowing, cause I shouldn't "lie". Lying is bad, you know? I'm a good and reasonable guy.

( A reasonable Wingman.)

I controlled my laughter, seeing how pissed he is now. And being the reasonable wingman that I am, decided to help him a little. Grabbing my wallet in my pocket then brought out an item to present it in front of the Fang Meister, who froze and then continued to eye the item.

" Consider it a gift..." I gave a wink. Though, as he was going to reach for it... 'My hands slipped'. The photo fell when it suddenly flew due to the wind's sudden blow. Fang Meister decided to chase for it, drawing attention to the gang. I backed away more then took a seat in the shade of the shrine, bringing out my favourite snack and watching the scene unfold over one photo.

Fang Meister caught up to the photo but bumped into the Tall baby, bringing Dragon Nanny's twin in the fall. The three groaned in pain, only for Fang Meister to snap back once the photo flew again. This time, someone caught it with ease and examined the photo, blushing in the end.

Fang Meister immediately took back the photo, growling out 'Mine' which pissed off, Nanny Dragon. They started arguing since Fang Meister won't spill the beans. That's when someone grabbed the photo out of his hands, both of them glared at the thief who had an astounding look.

" Give that back, Sanzu." Both Fang Meister and Nanny Dragon glared at the male in front of them, who was paying no attention and continued looking at the photo. Without saying a word, he simply walked away pissing the two more.

" Oi, Give that back..." Both boys took a run and successfully tackled Sanzu down, one of them successfully grabbing the photo only to get snatched yet again. Damn, when will this end?  The fight got worse when Midget joined in, running away with the photo in hand.

" Mikey! Give that back!"

" Finders! Keepers!"

***Flashback Ends***

" And that's what happened. I was simply bored, sister." I finished and was let go and able to breathe in relief.

" Sapphire's on a date with that Kaku-Chan, right?" I have a thumbs-up as an answer. She nodded her head and then sat beside me to watch the chaos.

' I wonder how's the date going? Such bad luck for not being able to take a video of it, maybe next time.'

—— Back to The Date——

***3rd person Pov***

The date finally ended with Kakucho assisting Takemichi at the twin's house, as she'll be leaving with them for a while. Not that she minded cause of how persistent they were in letting her stay at their home. It was sweet of them but Takemichi being Takemichi, being the selfless and humble person that she is, was having doubts.

" Thanks for assisting me home, Kaku-Chan. Even though you didn't have to, I'm fine and strong." She reassured him. He could only blush and nod his head.

" Well, I'm just being a gentleman..." The boy mumbled out, scratching the back of his head. He knew that Takemichi was capable of fighting though something was not right and felt like he was at fault for something. He just doesn't know, only to shrug it off and fully be attentive to his date. Her giggles were comforting and soothing, feeling butterflies in his stomach.

" Guess this is goodbye now, Kaku-Chan."

" Yeah. Guess goodbye now, Hana. Want to meet again, next time when I'm free?" He offered.

Admittedly, both of them didn't want to let go. Kakucho left her first, spreading the guilt that he almost stood Takemichi on their date. However, Takemichi was anxious to even see him after the times they've spent- most of them were unpleasant encounters, such as Betrayal. Although, they snapped back with Takemichi heading to the gates.

" Oh by the way Kaku-Chan..." Kakucho stopped to gaze at the girl in front of him, curiosity peeking through his mind, wondering what she'd say next.

" Can I have the numbers of your gang?" The boy stopped, recalling her words that echoed in him. Even had doubts and thought that he got a hearing deficiency.

" ... I'm sorry, you what now?"

" Their numbers, Kaku-Chan. I want them." He was silent again but did do as he is told. Pulling out his phone with the girl doing the same.

" Also, can you pretend that I requested "My Brother Takemichi" for their numbers after meeting with you?" The boy simply nodded his head, following her plan even though it was strange. Though, she rests assured that it was something personal cause there was a problem she needed to handle. Though, that doesn't explain her asking for his gang's numbers.

" Are they included in your gang?" The girl stuck out her tongue at him in a teasing manner.

" Nope, 'cause I met them and missed them. Like how I miss you."

" For Pete's sake, Hana..." Kakucho got flustered again, even though he was jumping in joy for being missed.

' Has she always been this bold? You've changed Hana...'

After getting the cell number of Kakucho's gang, Takemichi had another surprise for Kakucho that would ascend him to Heaven. As the boy got distracted a little it was enough time for Takemichi to immediately take action with a smile. She then cupped Kakucho's cheeks for a face-off, then pulled his face to meet his lips on hers. Everything went slow motion when the girl pulled away and fluttered the boy's heart.

" Bye, Kaku-Chan~" And with that, she left leaving him dumbfounded. His heart was still racing but cracked a smile in the end.

" Damnit, Hana. I'll get back at you, someday." He uttered then left the area, his smile still plastered on his face.

Looking through the window, Takemichi giggled and congratulated herself on the stunt she pulled off with confidence. Smiling wider as she looked at the additional contacts on her phone, tempted to call one of them.

" Eenie, Meenie, Meini... Mo~ Who should I call at this hour..."

Results? She chose no one yet.

" Later, Some other time. Oh yeah, I wonder how are the twins handling the Toman situation." Takemichi had doubts but with Maxe around, it should be tame right? Right?

——Back to Toman——

***Macey's Pov***

" Well shit, it got worst," I commented with my sister agreeing with me, to see the chaos evolving and it all started with a photo of Sapphire that's still flying and landing on someone else's hands. The ones who didn't even meet Sapphire joined after getting influenced by the ones who knew her.

They've been going back and forth, hands in the air just to reach for the photo.  I'm debating if it's the Photo or wind trolling them or the universe watching them, punishing them for the torture Sapphire endured — even though they were able to have some redemption.

That's when the photo went so high up and everyone started pushing or nudging, just removing the 'Parasite' out of their way. The photo went so far up before landing below...

On my hands? Oh fuck! Oh shit!

I looked at the guys who had predatory gazes on me and the photo. And you know when you're in danger, you'd simply throw or give the photo away as if returning it to the owner? Heheh... This is literally "Macey" you're talking too. And my pride of being a troll is on the line, so as any troll people would do with a smirk. I tightened the hold of the Sapphire's photo then bolted away leaving my sister behind.

" STEP IT UP, FELLAS!" I yelled while cackling and wheezing like craze man. They immediately chase me and damn are they slow, though there are two people who are catching up quickly.

" Wow, y'all are fast. Ran a marathon before, Mustard buzz cut and Tall Baby?" I said in a taunting manner.

" Nah, just born with it." Mustard buzz cut said with confidence as he's catching up. Oh, Scary.

" So you better give up." Joined Tall baby.

I wasn't picking the pace much and saw the rest behind us trying to catch up. There's even my sister at the very end with a camera in hand, recording everything. Aww~ She's so sweet doing the work for me.

" Nah, Giving up ain't in the option. It's called 'Surpassing' me, fellas! Ahahaha!" Finally picking up the pace, running full steed giving them no time to catch up and eventually lost sight of the two.

I ran through an alleyway and hid on the shadows, patiently waiting for them. So many Voices and footsteps are closing in but soon disappeared, though he knew better to wait for another minute or two. Only one stepped in the alleyway while tapping their finger on the wall, using Morse code. He knew who it was already.

" It's safe now, Brother."

' Aye~ Bingo!'

" Thank you, sister. Wanna watch them at the top of the roof as they helplessly search for me?"

" Sure." We got unto ladder of the alleyway that leads to the rooftop of the building. We got a bird's eye view on some of the scenes below us. Hah! Fools! We got the high ground, suckers! Now, I'm cackling like a dying horse instead of wheezing like a kettle.

" Wanna bet on who's going to notice us here on top?"

" Thousand yen that it's Nanny Dragon's twin."

" Deal. A Thousand yen that it's the Nanny Dragon."

Unfortunately, it led to the a tie since no one even noticed us. So, we just went home.

***End Of Chapter***
