_Isogai's POV_

"Cough Cough"

"Are you okay, Nanami?" I asked my younger sister.

"I'm o-cough okay." She softly said. I place my hand on her forehead trying to feel her temperature.

"Your burning up." I worryingly stated.

"Cough Cough" Turning around and noticed my younger brother's sickly expression.

"Haruto?"

"Big brother, I don't fill so well." I like what did with my sister I placed my big hand on his small forehead.

"Not you too." I said as I began to worry.

"Yuuma." My mother softly cried out.

"Go lay down, okay. I'll be right back." I told my brother as I had towards my mother.

"Do you need something?" I asked my mother as I walked in her room.

"I'm sorry to bother you but I need you to go and get me my medicine, I ran out." I smiled softly at her and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I will, don't worry." I said reassuring her.

A small chuckle escaped her lips. "Whatever did I do to deserve a son like you."

"It's because you raised me." I replied. "Now, you get some rest while I get your medicine." Walking out of the room I closed the door behind me.

'Alright, I just have to get mom's medicine. I can handle that.' But my thoughts were cut short do to the coughing fits that came from my sibling's room, realization slowly hit me.

I can't leave them alone while their sick but I also have to go get mom's medicine. I was in conflict, I didn't know what to do. I needed help, and I knew who just to call. Grabbing my phone I went to Maehara's contact.

Text - 10:15am

Hey Maehara, sorry for the short notice but can you came over to my house and help me. My siblings are sick and I also have to get mom's medicine and I don't want to leave them alone. - Isogai

Maehara - Sure, I'll be there in a sec

Thx! I owe you one – Isogai

Maehara – Anytime :)

End of Text – 10:17am

A sigh of relief escaped my lips, I'm so glad I have a friend like Maehara.

💙

Knock Knock

'That must be Maehara!'

"Big brother, who's that at the door?" Nanami asked.

"I asked one of my friends to come over and watch you guys while I get mom's medicine." I told her. "So I want you guys to behave while I'm gone."

"Yes, big brother." Both siblings said in unison.

Smiling at the two I head towards the door and opened it happy to see my best friend but all my excitement was crushed into little tiny pieces as my pale gold eyes meet with a pair of [E/C] ones.

"[Y-Y/N]!? W-What are you doing here!?" I asked in surprise.

"Well, you are the you who texted me to help you." She stated.

"What do you mean?" I questioned. She sighed, taking her phone she showed me the texts, and I did in fact text her. "Sorry, you can leave if you want."

The [E/C]nette shook her head. "You asked for my help and I'm here to help." She smiled happily as she walked in, not before taking her shoes off first of course. "So where are they?"

"Right this way." Leading her to their room I introduced her to my siblings.

"[Y/N], these are my siblings Haruto and Nanami." I turned to the said kids. "Haruto, Nanami, this is [Y/N]. Please don't cause her any trouble."

"We wouldn't." They said.

"I won't take long." I told the [E/C] eye girl as I walked out of the room and head to the door. "And thanks again." I said putting on my shoes.

"Anytime. Now go on, I'm pretty sure you don't want to make your mother wait any longer then she already has." She softly laughed as she lightly pushed me out the door.

"Alright, alright." I chuckled. "I'll be back soon [Y/N]."

"Bye Isogai, take care." She waved good bye before closing the door.

The walk to the store seemed to drag on, which was weird because the distance between the store and the house wasn't long. Time itself seemed to slow down as the people around me moved in a slow pace, but that wasn't really my concern. The only thing that was consuming my mind was the gorgeous teen back home.

'Oh god, [Y/N] is in my house! What am I going to do! I wonder what she thinks about it?! Does she think it's ugly? Does she not like it? AHHHH!' I freaked out as a million questions ran through my mind. I shook head getting rid of the thoughts. '[Y/N] isn't like that, just focus on getting mom's medicine.'

Throughout the walk I couldn't get my mind off [Y/N], I try so hard but no matter what I do it's no use. I stop resisting and just let [Y/N] take over my mind, doing this I began to remember one particular moment.

Flashback

"I'm telling you Isogai, I'm head over heels for her." Maehara explained as hearts formed in his orange-brown eyes. A softly chuckled escaped my lips as I laughed at my love-struck friend.

"I bet you are." I said as I cleaned one of the dirty tables.

"She's such a beauty. Oh the way her silky smooth [H/C] hair sways back and forth as she moves a-and the way her bright shiny [E/C] eyes shimmer when she's curious." He smiled as he describes his crush.

"Wow, you really are crazy about her."

"I'm telling you man, she's the one I've been looking for!" The boy said. "Anyways, enough about my love life, what about you?" I gave him a questionable look.

"What about me?"

"Have you found anyone that peeks your interest?" Maehara asked. I paused for a moment before replaying.

"W-Well, there is this one girl." I whispered hoping my friend didn't hear but my reply wouldn't go unnoticed.

"Really!" He shouted in disbelief. "Who's the lucky gal?" He asked nudging my shoulder with his elbow as he gave me teasing look.

"She's just a girl that comes here often." I explained. "She's really pretty, and nice too. All the staff and customers here loves her."

"Especially you." A huge blush appeared on my face.

Ring Ring

Ring Ring

"Ah, sorry, I got to take this." Maehara said walking away.

Continuing what I was doing I finish cleaning the table.

Ding

Turning to the door my pale gold eyes meet a pair of happy [E/C] ones.

"Hello, Isogai." [Y/N] greeted. "How are you today?"

"I'm doing fine, how about yourself?"

"Oh I'm doing quite well, thank you for asking." She replied, a soft smile appeared on her tender smooth face.

Heat started to crawl up into my cheeks. "W-Would you like the usual?" I asked.

"Yes please." Nodding my head, I head towards the kitchen and started making her order. Once finished I placed the food on a platter and took it to the waiting girl.

"Thank you."

"Isogai!" Turning around I noticed Maehara hiding in the corner as he motioned me to come over.

Excusing myself I walked to the hiding boy, without warning he pulled to towards him.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"That's her." He suddenly said.

"What?" Grabbing my face, Maehara turned me to the direction of [Y/N].

"That's that girl I've been telling you about." He explained.

"You mean [Y/N]?" I asked the boy.

"You know her?" Maehara questioned.

"Yeah," I replied. "she comes here often."

"That's great!" He exclaimed. "You can introduce me to her."

"I don't know." I said.

"Come on man, please." It didn't sit right with me. For some reason I didn't want him to meet her, but his done so much for me. Maybe it wouldn't hurt. Sighing I agreed. "Alright."

"Thank you."

Getting out from the corner we head towards the [H/C] hair girl, but Maehara suddenly stopped me.

"Bro, wait." I turned to him and gave him a questionable look. "Let's sing."

"Huh?"

"Let's sing." He repeated again. "Then she'll think I'm cool."

"I think you going a little overboard." I said. "Just talk to her."

"You don't understand man; I want to leave an impression on her." He gave me a pleading look, I hesitated before giving in.

"All right, all right."

Dragging me to the karaoke machine that the café had he handed me a mic and put on a song.

'Why did I agree to this?'

(Maehara will be on the left and Isogai will be on the right. When singing together they will be in the middle.)

Claps and cheers were heard throughout the small café. Giving our thanks we walked towards the table were the [E/C] eye girl sat.

"I ever mentioned that you could sing, Isogai" The girl said. A small blush appeared on my face, I scratched my cheek in embarrassment.

"T-That's because I don't, this was my first time." I replied.

"Well, for your first time you did a great job. As well as your friend."

"Thank you." Maehara elbow me in my side singling me to introduce him. "Oh um
[Y/N], I want you to meet one of my friends."

"Hey, I'm Maehara Hiroto, but you can just call me Hiroto." Maehara said.

"Hello Hiroto, I'm [L/N] [Y/N], but please just call me [Y/N]."  Pulling out a chair Maehara sat on it and started chatting with [Y/N].

I stood there not knowing what to think. I should be happy that my friend is getting his dream girl, but then why do I feel so angry that the who should be getting
[Y/N] should be me?

Bump Bump

That is all so confusing.

"Isogai, your order's waiting!"

"Coming!"

End of Flashback

Walking inside the store I grabbed the things I needed and pay for them. Heading out I began my journey back home. It didn't take long for me to make it to my small house, opening that door I took off my shoes and walked in.

"I'm back." I shouted. Poking her head out of the kitchen [Y/N] smiled warmly at me.

"Welcome back, Isoagi!"

'Oh God, I would do anything to heard that every day.'

Heading towards the kitchen different varieties of delicious smells hit my nose.

"What are you making?" I asked the girl as she dried her hands.

"Okayu, I heard this helps you when you're sick." She replied. "Mind helping me set the table.

Nodding my head, I helped her set the table for dinner, we talked and laughed as we did so. I was one of the best times I had.

"So, how are you and Maehara doing?" I asked

"We're doing great, though . . . " A small frown formed on her flawless face. "Hiro and I been a little distant lately. He's been spending a lot of time on his phone." A sad sigh escaped her lips. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's nothing. You should for the others, dinners ready." She said returning to her bubbly self.

💙

"Are you sure you don't want me to walk you home?" She laughed as she shook her head.

"I said I'll be fine so don't worry." [Y/N] said trying to reassure me.

"But-"

"Isogai, I'll be fine. Besides you have to take care of your family." She said cutting me off.

"Alright, alright." I sighed knowing I couldn't win this agreement. "Just, be careful, okay."

"I will, see you on Monday, Isogai."

"Yeah, see you."

💙

_Terasaka's POV_

"Tell me again why we're here?" I asked Yoshida as we stood in the middle of a book store.

"Because Hazama wanted to go to the book store and you were too scared to say no." My eye twitched in annoyance.

"You like thim too?!" A familiar shouted.

'No . . . that can be-'

I walk towards the feminine voice as Yoshida and Takuya trailed behind me.

"[Y/N]?! What the hell are you doing here?!"  I asked the [E/C] girl. Said girl turned around and gave me a questionable look.

"Terasaka? What are you doing here?"

"I asked you that damn it!" The girls squeaked in surprise.

"I kind of got bored I decided to come and check this place out." She said. "Did you know that Hazama likes 'The Count of Monte Cristo'!" [Y/N] smiled brightly as her eyes shine with happiness.

"Who knew that little [Y/N] would be interested in those kind of books." Hazama said as she patted the girl's head.

"Hey! I'm not little!" [Y/N] said as she pouted. The black haired girl chuckled.

"Say, me and the boys were about to head off to the arcade, want the tag along?"

"What?! You can't -" Yashida cut me off before I could finish.

"Yeah, you should join us!"

"Well, if you insist then sure, I'll join." The [H/C] hair girl smiled.

'What the actual hell.'

💙

I stop there with an angry expression on my face as I watch the four teens playing with a dancing game.

"Come on Terasaka, dance with us." [Y/N] said smiling at me.

"Hell no!" I shouted turning away from her.

"He won't join us [Y/N], he's just a little pussy." Yoshida said smirking mischievously.

"What the fuck you say?!" I yelled angrily.

"That your a pussy, I bet you don't even know how to dance." He repeated.

"Fine! I'll show you that I can dance!"

Takuya put the song on and we all went to our places.

Roles
Tobi - [Y/N]
Zetsu - Terasaka
Nagato - Takuya
Pain - Yoshia
Itachi - Hazama

"Nice moves Terasaka, didn't know you had it in you." Hazama said.

"Of course I did." I exclaimed as I felt my ego growing.

"Yeah, but I he isn't as good as [Y/N]." Yoshida swung his arm around the [H/C] hair girl.

"I-I'm not that good." She said as a small blush formed on your face.

"[Y/N], I demand a dance-off!" I shouted at the girl.

"Yeah, sure."

Picking out a song we went to our places.

"Whoa! That was fun!" [Y/N] exclaimed happily.

"We should do 'Barbie Girl'." Takuya suggested.

"Hell no!"

💙

"You didn't have to walk me home, Terasaka." The [E/C] girl said as she stood in front of her house.

"I didn't do for you, I did it so the others will shut their traps." I explained to her.

"Well, thanks anyways. I'll see you tomorrow in class, bye." She was about to enter house when I suddenly called out to her.

"[Y/N], wait."

She turned around and faced me. I swallow my pride, I hesitated a bit as I tried to find the right words.

"I-I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"Sorry, I can't quite hear you."

"I said, I'm sorry!" I said louder. She held a surprised expression. "F-For the assassination last time."

[Y/N] chuckled lightly. "It's okay, Terasaka. Besides, I already forgave you." She smiled sweetly. "Anyways, I should head inside. Good night, Terasaka." And with that she retreated into her home.

Bump Bump

A small blush formed on my face. I clicked my tongue in annoyance and walked away.

'Stupid girl.'

_3rd POV_

"So, that's it?" A blonde hair woman asked the old man in front of her as she pulled away the cigarette from her mouth and puffed a cloud of smoke.

"Yes, you'll be starting tomorrow." The man said.

The woman smiled evilly as her blue eyes shined dangerously.

"Can't wait to kill myself an octopus."
