41 - Worry on clouded thoughts

"How did you know we were talking about a....'she'?"

"Oh? Vice commander of Shishitoren?"

'What the hell did he not notice me earlier??' Togame thought as he looked at Takiishi.

Takiishi gets cuts off by Hiragi's sudden outburst, "Wait Himawari is a girl-?! I just thought he- she- was a little feminine-" Hiragi looks around, he finally understood that he was the only clueless one among them. "You all knew...and you.." He stared at Umemiya, waiting for him to say something.

"Sorry I did promise that I won't tell a soul Hiragi-" Umemiya said with an awkward laugh.

"Okay enough of that" Togame sighed out, pushing his hair back as he looked at Takiishi again, "Answer my question"

Takiishi just stood there with his expressionless face, not wanting to talk to Togame, not a bit interested in fact.

"Why isn't he-" Togame was about to go up to Takiishi but Hiragi pulled him back, stopping him.

"You can't handle him, just stop" Hiragi shook his head at him.

"And? I want to make him talk" Togame stared at Hiragi with half lidded eyes, his composure slowly fading away.

"Okay okay, how about you answer us so no one gets mad, Takiishi?" Umemiya tried calming the mood down even though he himself can't stay calm at the situation in hand but he has to, even if he has to force himself to.

"If you get mad, that'll be fun" Takiishi answered, a hint of amusement in his voice. 

"So he answers Umemiya but not me huh?" Togame already sounds annoyed as he spoke, he was now glaring at Takiishi.

Umemiya looked over at Togame before he faced Takiishi again, "Tell us what you know"

"What a bother-"

"Tell us what you know while we're being nice Takiishi." Umemiya said, cutting off Takiishi. Just as Togame was doing, he was also glaring at Takiishi now.

"I don't want to-" 

Umemiya's fist flew over at Takiishi's direction but he dodged it in time, taking Umemiya's fist in his hand. "Look at you" Takiishi's lips curled up to a little smirk as he looked at Umemiya.

"If only you answered." Umemiya brings his other arm up, gripping on Takiishi's arms tightly before he flipped him over and threw Takiishi down on the ground with a loud thud.

Takiishi lets out a loud groan, not expecting Umemiya to still have energy after their fight that got interrupted not too long ago. He was even more curious now to know who those twins were and why people kept talking about them. More so, why Umemiya was getting all fussy with him over something he saw as 'nothing'.

"He keeps talking about them before we got here. Even on the days we were planning, all I got from him was 'Sakura twins' 'twins that' 'twins this'- Until he blabbered about the other being a girl." When he was saying he, he meant Endo but didn't really want to use his name. The others thankfully understood who he meant.

"You're being too general, mind narrowing it down?" Umemiya spat out as he stared at him.

"Then go ask him, I can't see why you're asking me if you're complai-"

THWACK

Togame had enough of Takiishi's bullshit, all he could hear was an annoying brat. He kicked Takiishi's jaw while he was still on the ground, making him look off to the side.

'Did he just hit me?'  Takiishi's head snapped over at Togame, his eyes boring into Togame's figure.

"Stop glaring at me like that brat" 

Takiishi was about to pounce on him but Umemiya held him down, "Behave Takiishi."

"No wonder she's gone, she must've been tired of you guys-"

Everyone stayed silent debating on how they'll process what Takiishi just said. 'Tired? What could make Himawari get tired of us?' They all thought while still glaring at Takiishi.

As they were about to say something, someone burst out of the door, it was Haruka. He looks quite pitiful. His clothes are all covered with dirt and blood, his eyes frantically looked around, hoping to see his sister but he couldn't see her.

"Where's Hima?" He looked desperate. He sounded desperate.

Once again, they were silent. No one dared to say the news to the loving brother who's desperately looking for his other half.

"Gone missing" Was all Takiishi said, still lying on the floor while looking boredly at Haruka.

"Where is Hima? Show me where Hima is." 

"They don't know, I also don't know" Takiishi rolled his eyes, wanting Endo to take him away already.

"You don't know?" Umemiya suddenly asked as he looked at Takiishi, he thought he knew.

"Seeming as you guys didn't say he also disappeared then I don't know where she is"

Haruka stood there, his knees felt week but he held on. 'He knows Hima is a girl? Did Umemiya tell him-? Why isn't no one surprised? Did he tell everyone? I knew it. I shouldn't have truste-'

THWACK

Togame kicked Takiishi again, he really had enough of him. "Are you playing with us?"

Takiishi was also about to snap, he's tired of getting questioned about something he doesn't even know and doesn't care about in the first place. He couldn't see why they were making a fuss over something like this. He thought in his mind, 'Why not just let it be?'

Haruka turned around heading for the door but Hiragi went after him, gripping on his hand. "Where are you going?"

"...I'm going to find Hima-"

"-..I already lost Hima before. I can't let it happen again."

[Moments before Himawari went missing]

[Himawari Sakura's POV]

I stared at the scene in front of me, Endo was knocked out on the ground. Haru was also knocked out on the ground.

..And..

....I was the the reason behind it.

So,

I ran.
