37 - Caught in a Daze?

Tap

Tap

I can feel someone tap my cheek softly..who is it?

"Kitty"

Blink  Blink

"..T-Togame..?" I blinked my eyes again as I stared up at him, he was looking at me..with worry in his eyes..? 

I feel cold...my clothes are drenched but I feel something warm wrapped around my body..

I looked down just to see his arms wrapped around my body, his jacket already wrapped around me as well. The warmth from the owner still lingered on it.

My eyes stared at it for a few seconds before it hit me, cheeks warming up as my eyes then traveled back to his face. 

"Why are you looking at me like that~? You're drenched, would you like me to leave you like that huh?" Togame had the nerve to laugh as his lips curled up to a smile.

"I-okay..thank you.." I muttered out before looking away. My eyes caught Banjo's body on the ground, knocked out.

"Is he okay..?" I asked as I stared at Banjo's figure.

"Is he okay..?"

...Oh..? 

Peculiar.

My lips curled up to an amused smile as I stared at Himawari who was staring at the dude's body at the ground.

You did that, don't you remember? I perfectly saw the scene Kitty.

Hmm..what shall I tell you?

[Back to Sakura Himawari's POV]

"I guess he pissed you so much that you don't remember beating him up huh?" I heard Togame say which made me look at him. Haah-?

"I did that? He's knocked out though!" I stepped back in disbelief, making his hands fall back to his sides as I moved away from him.

He let out a sigh before running his fingers through his hair as he answered, "Kitty, I saw you beat him up with my own two eyes. Plus I just got here, I was with your brother a while ago"

He doesn't look like he's lying-

"Wait. Is my brother okay? Did someone beat him up? Where is he? I'll go to him-" I immediately turned to go back up at the bridge but I got pulled back by Togame. What's his problem?

"I don't think you understand the situation YOU are in kitten." It was like he staring into my soul as his eyes looked at me, his words bearing into my mind.

"What do you mean..?"

"Stay here. I'll ask Hiragi for some extra clothes" Togame replied before he pulled the fabric of his jacket, closing it all the way as he then turned away from me and spoke again, "Stay put, got it kitty?"

I just nodded my head as I watched his figure disappear from my sight. My eyes stared down at my hands as I saw how bloody it looked. People might think I killed someone if they saw me like this-

Then my eyes naturally lingered over at Banjo who still laid there at the ground. I walked up to him and nudged on him with my foot before he flinched, his eyes slowly opening as he then looked at me.

"N-no stop- I'll behave now I-I promise!" I watched him as he frantically backed away from me. That solves my doubts, I guess I really did beat him up enough that he's scared of me now...but..how?

I placed a hand over my eyes, as if trying to remember the events that happened but only a throb in my head was all I got from it.

Why can't I remember?

I let out a sigh before I looked back at Banjo, I won't get a descent answer from him.

"W-What-? Are you gonna b-beat me up again..?" He asked, his body was trembling with fear. The dried up blood on the side of his head made him even more pitiful.

"I'm not gonna do that, stop trembling" I answered before turning away from him. 

Gosh I can't look at him-

"Here" 

I looked up to see Togame standing in front of me, arms extended as he held some clothes in his hands.

"I don't know where Hiragi got it but atleast it's something right?" He added as he placed it in my arms, his other hand scratching the side of his neck.

I muttered a low thank you before I looked at what he gave me, black top and some pants- That's good enough.

I looked over at Togame who was already standing beside Banjo on the ground, not missing the way Banjo trembled as Togame got closer to him. I watched as he crouched down and held Banjo's head in his hands and turned it away from me, covering his eyes and also looked at another direction.

Wow he's actually considering my privacy, what a gentleman.

I shook my head gently before I hurriedly changed my clothes, quite upset that the clothes underneath were still wet but it really is better than being completely drenched-

"Togame"

"Hmm? Are you done now?"

"Yeah yeah, just come here" I said as I pursed my lips, I need a jacket..I don't like just wearing a shirt- What if my binder breaks again-

Togame lets go of Banjo's head before he went over to me, he was grinning at me. "I'm here, what is it kitty?"

"Er- I need a jacket"

"I gave you my jack-" SMACK

I hit his arm as I shook my head, "Dumbass it's already wet I can't use that anymore!"

"Aww..too bad....well..hmm.." He placed a finger on his chin, as if he was thinking before he spoke again, "I'll go ahead and borrow another jacket from my mates, wait for me" 

Did I hear that right? From his mates? So a Shishitoren jacket again-?

"Pardon?" I said as I blinked up at him in confusion.

"What? Oh- I also prefer if it was my jacket but as you said, it's wet so...unless you want me to go back to my house but I doubt that'll take a-" I smacked my hand over his mouth before I pushed him away, my cheeks were even warmer than before.

"Just go will you? Stop wasting time chatting around" I answered as I heard him laugh then he ran off again, disappearing from my vision for a second time.

A few minutes was what it took him before I saw him again, holding a familiar orange jacket in his hands.

"Here ya go~" Togame handed the jacket over to me and I quickly slipped it on myself before I looked at him.

"Let's go, I gotta see Haru"

"Yes yes I know"

"Himawari!" 

Everyone's really out here calling me that now huh- Well anyways-

I ran over to Hiragi who just called me, he was beside Kaji who was lying on the floor.

He paused his movements, staring at me- Well at the jacket-

"Why are you wearing that?"

"Uhm well I was just in a hurry" I excused as I scratched the side of my neck. "Is Kaji-san okay?"

"Alright, if you say so. Kaji? He's okay..just sleeping. I'm guessing you're going to head over to your brother?" Hiragi replied as he smiled up at me. Now that I notice it, his hair is down- You see something new everyday-

"Yes, where is he?" I said as I looked around, not seeing Haru anywhere.

"He's heading over to Umemiya, before Endo gets over there" 

Oh. I gotta head over there too then.

"I have to go then!" I answered.

Hiragi stood up and dusted off his clothes before he looked at me, "Yeah, we have to head there now"

"Let's go" I flinched as I suddenly heard Togame's voice from behind me. 

"I really can't thank you enough for the help, Togame" Hiragi said, acknowledging Togame's presence and smiled at him.

"Well like I said earlier, can't disappoint the twins if they asked for us eagerly~" Togame answered as he smiled up at me.

He's just teasing me at this point- 

I shook my head and just began running to the school's direction, not bothering to listen to their conversation go on

I guess I have to thank him about the help later on.
