章 9: STRANGER DANGER!
"Masaru, I'll fucking kill you!"
Takemichi jolted up from his bed when he heard the shout coming from the next room. He got up and glanced across at the digital clock on his study table, which showed it was still 9 a.m. To check what was going on, he stepped outside his room. It was a Saturday, and his parents had already left the house to go to work, leaving the two teenagers alone. That was not the case just now, though, because the two were clearly not alone.
He overheard his female cousin yelling their other cousin's name, which was the name of the cousin who was the cause he and his friends were beaten up two months earlier when they went to Shibuya High School. He jerked at the sight of the freckled teenager rushing down the staircase carrying a piece of cloth– Takemichi's eyes widened as he recognized what Masaru had taken from their cousin's room
"You fucker, give that shit back!" " (Y/N) yelled as he dashed from her room. As she strode down the stairs, her nostrils were ablaze with rage. Takemichi had already awoken and was standing outside with a startled expression on his morning face, which she had missed.
"Why is he running with your underwear?" Takemichi spoke aloud as he stepped downstairs, following her into the living room, while Masaru had already bolted outside the house, terrified.
Takemichi only deadpanned as the girl said, "He's going to give it to his leader who has a huge crush on me." Masaru's leader came to mind, and he couldn't help but grimace as the words he heard seeped into his mind.
'Used panty as a gift?' Takemichi's mouth gape in disbelief.
"That motherfucker barged into my room when I was taking a piss, and I caught him in the midst of stealing something from my underwear drawer!" " She said as she changed her footwear. She planned to chase their cousin Masaru outdoors and come back with her underwear. She's not going to let him hand it over to that obnoxious jerk, knowing full well that Masaru's leader will continue to bug her.
"You do realize you're—" Takemichi couldn't complete his statement as she rushed outside of the house to chase after their gofer cousin.
"— you're dressed in nothing but spandex and a tank top..." he trailed off as he gazed out the window to watch his cousin vanish.
"Takemichi-kun, where are your cousins?"
Takemichi flinched in his position as he heard their grandmother's soothing voice. With a cheeky smile on his lips, he gently turned around. Takemichi is the one of her grandchildren she scolds the most because she perceives him as a delinquent (which he is), despite the fact that her other two grandchildren are also delinquents.
Marasu had changed his path to where the neighboring park lies, so (Y/N) rushed as fast as she could, not letting him leave from her sight and followed him there. Her hair was a mess as she had only been awake for twenty minutes. She immediately went to the bathroom as soon as she awoke, and she hadn't had time to comb her hair because she had caught Marasu after she used the bathroom. Her long (h/c) was blocking her sight, so she irritatedly brushed her hair with her fingers while running— she was actually sprinting. She didn't care about the stares she got from passers-by as she followed Marasu towards the park.
"Just let me give this to him, or else your cousin will die." Marasu yelled as he panted while he also kept on running away.
"I'd rather you died in my hands!" she responded with a shout. As if on cue, Marasu stumbled over a pebble and fell face first to the ground, knocking him unconscious.
"Lucky," she laughed.
As she reached him, she released a sigh of relief and even thanked the Gods for helping her. She knelt as he yanked the panty from Marasu's grasp and stood up immediately. Marasu tripped in the park, where a lot of people were exercising, and (Y/N) only realized it when she looked around. Her eyes were somewhat wide in a mix of surprise and embarrassment as she clutched a panty in her palm.
She whirled around to face the person once she heard a camera shutter and a snicker behind her. She crumpled the panty in her palm and turned around to face the person. Much to her chagrin , she saw Baji together with Chifuyu, who had a flustered look on his innocent face. Chifuyu's green orbs swiftly shifted elsewhere, to keep himself from looking at the (h/c) haired female.
(Y/N) scowled at the jet-black-haired man with his flip phone up to his brow, unaware of the fact that his female buddy was dressed in not her usual clothing.
"Your hair is all tangled!" Baji burst out laughing, "You look like trash." He came to a halt as soon as she gave him a 'are you serious' look and grinned as he snapped another picture of her state, showing off his canine.
"Delete that crap or I'll smash it," (Y/N) threatened as she approached him.
Baji immediately stuffed his flip phone in his pocket as he cocked his eyebrow. A cocky grin on his face as he took a complete look at her. His eyes widened as he took in what she was wearing at the time. The unusual sight of her attire made his cheeks flush. This was his first experience with her wearing tight clothing and exposing her skin. Outside of school, she normally dresses in baggy clothes and always wears a jacket.
(Y/N) came to a halt in front of them. Chifuyu's gaze was drawn elsewhere, while Baji was unable to look her in the eyes. Her brows wrinkled in confusion.
"Why your dumb face so red?"
She reached out to touch his forehead, but Baji quickly stepped aside.
"Dumbo, you forgot to change your clothes," Baji mumbled, drawing a tsk from the female as she examined her own body. Her eyes widened as she realized she hadn't changed her clothing since waking up.
"Fuck!" She cursed under her breath and fled away, leaving the two boys behind. Baji exhaled once she was out of sight, realizing he had been holding his breath the entire time since he noticed what she was wearing.
"She's bold," Chifuyu remarked, breaking the silence that had fallen around them as Baji snorted.
She is bold... but not enough for what she was wearing. She lacked the confidence to dress in tight and exposed clothing in front of others. She only wears them inside the house, but she forgot about them today because of her rage at her cousin.
"With her hair down, she looks more attractive. Baji-san, don't you agree" With a teasing smirk on his lips, Chifuyu added.
Through his peripheral vision, Baji caught a glimpse of his vice-captain. "Shut up, Chifuyu. She isn't even that attractive."
Baji, of course, didn't mean it like that way.
(Y/N) came to the house, panting profusely and resting against the doorframe. Her cheeks were flushed with crimson tints owing to the sprinting she did and the hot weather, but it was also due to the embarrassment she felt earlier. Takemichi had exited the kitchen after helping their grandma in the preparation of breakfast. He learned that Marasu was at their house since his parents were out of the country at the time and had left Marasu in the care of their grandma.
Their grandmother usually pays them a visit once a month, but she decided to pay them a visit today, which was unpleasant for Takemichi and (Y/N) because they had to deal with Marasu for the entire day.
"(Y/N)-chan, where did you go?" Ayumi, their grandmother, appeared beside Takemichi who was looking at his female cousin. He'd never seen her so exhausted, nor had he ever seen her sweat so profusely. She did chase Marasu down, and judging by the fabric she was holding in her hand, she did catch him. As he had expected from the Hanagaki family's star.
"Obaasan, we should buy a leash for Marasu. He's uncontrollable," she spoke, breathing deeply every word she said before straightening up and heading upstairs, not before adding, "I'm going to take a bath, I'll come down later."
"I guess she inherited that attitude from her father," Ayumi giggled.
Their Saturday had been ruined completely. Takemichi and (Y/N) had always disliked Marasu, ever since they were little. He was a pain in the neck and often got in the way. Because Takemichi was younger and smaller, Marasu would constantly pick on him, and she would always defend his blue-eyed cousin. They both found out he was a gofer. Takemichi was the one who told her that, and she simply laughed it off, claiming that Marasu lacked balls. When Marasu informed them she was a gang leader, she knew he was lying. Although it was obvious, Takemichi believed him, and as a result, he and his friends got beaten up.
"Can you get the milk? I have to find these seasonings in the list," (Y/N) said, looking up from the paper in her hand to his cousin, who was gaping at the woman in the distance. As she tugged him by the ear, she rolled her eyes in disgust. The woman he was admiring was a tall woman, about 5'10, with wavy blond hair with the most prominent part of her being her bouncing boobs. Every man in the grocery store was staring at her, who appeared to be completely unaware of her surroundings.
As she dragged Takemichi away from that spot, she said to herself, 'Boys will be boys.'
Takemichi flinched when he noticed (Y/N)'s penetrating gaze and muttered, "You get the milk before I resort to violence." He dashed into the dairy aisle, as she began strolling towards the spices.
Their grandma had given them the order to go grocery shopping because it was Saturday. Since Marasu's forehead was swollen from the impact when he tripped to the ground, she ordered Takemichi and (Y/N). He didn't tell their grandma the reason, not that (Y/N) would care, and Marasu already knew their grandmother wouldn't believe him, so he didn't bother.
She was dressed in an oversized brown hoodie with black sweatpants and, of course, Nike flip flops with socks on. Her hair was braided into a ponytail by their grandma. She was too focused with finding the spices area while pushing a cart in front of her to notice that a man was in her path.
"Sumimasen," she said as her (e/c) orbs connected with his purple ones. Her jaw fell open as she realized she had seen him before but couldn't pinpoint where or when. She bowed slightly and took a step back as she moved the cart away from him, but she came to a halt when she realized the cart wouldn't move because the purple-eyed man was holding it.
"Sir, could you let go of your hold on my cart?" she nicely asked, her tone different from her normal, and if Baji was around, he would mock her for the rest of her life. She doesn't want to be rude to an innocent man, *scoff*, but it's because he's quite attractive.
The man appeared to be in his early twenties, but he was an inch shorter than she was. He still looks attractive to her, so she doesn't mind.
"I'm sorry," the man spoke as he smiled at her, removing his grip away from the cart. Her thoughts said 'stranger danger' after she saw his grin, so she tugged her lips upwards; but it was a phony smile, and the man in front of her could tell.
She hastily answered, "It's alright, goodbye," and walked away from him. Her grasp on the cart tightened as she felt his gaze bore holes into the back of her skull.
"It's not fine," the guy whispered, his gaze trailing her figure until she turned towards the 14th section and vanished from view. He scoffingly smirked while sticking his hands in his pockets.
"You didn't show up at the park, and that's not fine."

Don't you fucking dare blackmail me with those photos. I'll come right for your head, fang teeth.
Baji couldn't help but chuckle when he read the message from the (h/c) haired female. He was on his way to the café to meet up with Mikey and the other of Toman's founding members, as well as their division's vice-captains. The twins from the fourth division were also invited, even if he wasn't a founding member. Mikey and Draken were the only ones who hadn't come yet, according to Chifuyu, who had texted him that he was already there with Mitsuya and the others.
He quickened his pace in order to beat Mikey and Draken.
As soon as he walked inside the café, he was met by the aroma of coffee, and he spotted seven boys arguing in the far corner. Mitsuya sat with Hakkai, Pah-chin with Peh-yan, Smiley with Angry, and Chifuyu, and there were still three empty seats for him, Draken, and Mikey.
"Baji-san!" Chifuyu called him as the others glanced over at the long-haired male who was grinning.
He sat beside Chifuyu as the eight of them began to talk about random things.
"Why did Mikey want us to meet here?" Pah-chin questioned.
"Maybe he'll treat us?" Hakkai replied, drawing groans from the others.
Mikey treating them?
Nah, it will take thirty years before that miracle will happen.
As if on cue, the said guy came to their view, asleep on Draken's back as usual.
"Mikey, we're here," Draken announced, and their gang's commander jumped from his friend's back and walked up to the table.
"Thank you for coming in on such short notice." Mikey started as he walked up to one of the vacant chairs between Smiley and Mitsuya and said,
"I'd like to know your opinion about——."
