5 - Shishitoren?

Once we made it outside there were already a few students waiting for us. I was walking beside Sakura, Suo was on my right then Nirei walked beside him. This dude with unusual eyebrows started yapping at Sakura because he was complaining.

"It took you seven minutes and forty eight point twenty six seconds to get here. Even kindergarten kids would be faster than you." Oh it's the spiky haired dude from yesterday? Why is he comparing us to kindergarteners..

"It's that guy from yesterday" Sakura said as he stared at spiky dude. "Yeah" I simply replied while looking around with a bored expression.

"You guys know him?" Nirei asked while looking at us. "Not really" We both answered at the same time. "It was when we saved that lady from the cafe" Sakura replied while he moved, facing Nirei.

"You mean Kotoha-san?" Nirei tilted his head. I saw spiky hair flinch from the corner of my eye, bolting towards us. 'What the-'

He smacked his hands over at Sakura's mouth to silence him. "You two come with me for a second!" He started dragging Sakura while I just followed them closely, what a funny sight, Sakura getting dragged.

"Didn't I tell you specifically not to mention Kotoha about yesterday?!" Spiky dude was whisper-shouting. "Why? what about it?" I curiously asked while waiting for a reply.

"Just don't. Kotoha wasn't there yesterday.. don't gossip about it or else.." I was waiting for him to continue when my eyes travelled down to his hand, 'stomach pills-?' my eyebrows furrowed when I looked back at his face.

"I'll end up coughing blood" His face was gloomy while he swallowed a pill. I'm quite curious on how that will end up.

*******************

We made it back to Suo and the others when they started questioning us about what we talked about with Spiky hair. 

I felt someone's breath on my ear- my body flinched. "What did you guys talk about~", ah Suo-san! "U-uh he was just talking to us about his stomach pain" I said while smiling awkwardly at him. I wasn't lying about it right?

"Oh I see~" He just smiled with his eyes and then we heard Nirei talk about spiky hair. He has quite the position up top too huh? That's cool. Hiragi Toma, the weird ass fella haha.

**********************

So here we are, in a group, patrolling the town. I could hear Sakura and Sugishita arguing, Hiragi stopping them. Ahh I don't wanna be bothered by that so I just kept walking. Suo suddenly appeared beside me- why does he keep popping up?

"They're like little kids fighting" He said, I chuckled at the realization. They do look like kids arguing. "They actually do, what a funny observation" I replied, reaching to the point that I was now laughing.

Suo was smiling everytime I look over at him. Is he just a cheeerful guy or something?

Next thing I knew, we were painting a vandalized wall of some old person. 'Why am I doing this? I don't want to do this..' I sighed, looking over at Sakura, he looks like he wants to throw the brush away.

Nirei and the others looked like they were enjoying themselves. While Sakura and I were internally dying. 'Help'

Once we were finally done, the nice man gave us some Taiyaki to eat on our patrol. We bowed and thanked the man before going.

While walking, I was eating my food happily when two hands appeared infront of me, holding a Taiyaki on their hand. I looked up to see Sakura and Suo staring at each other, 'What the hell are they doing?'

Sakura was the first one to look away and then faced me. "You love these right? I'm not hungry" Sakura placed it on my hands. 'dumb head you like this too' I just pursed my lips, before I could thank him, he was already walking up front with the others.

I looked over at Suo to see him still offering his Taiyaki with a smile. "Have it, I'm all good" He simply said and placed it on top of the one Sakura gave me. "Are you sure?" I asked, staring at him when he started walking beside me. 

"Mhm~" He hummed in response, his long tassel earrings swaying from side to side. "Thanks" I muttered lowly a faint blush on my face as I just continued to eat my food. 'ah so delicious'

We stopped infront of a barrier, there's this tunnel filled with graffiti and one stood out, on the top center there was a big drawing of a-

"What an ugly looking dog" I heard Sakura say which made me chuckle. Nirei on the other hand, was panicking while looking around. "Don't say that out loud! They might hear you!" Nirei said, the boy looks frightened.

"We can't go past this point..it's another group's territory! Shishitoren, strenght is everything for them" Hm I see..that's very interesting. "I like that, that sounds cool" Sakura said, a smirk plastered on his face.

We suddenly heard noises from the tunnel. "Stop you brat!" It's a kid? Why is he running? The source of the shouting came from behind him. 3 people wearing the same jacket, chasing after the kid.

"A middle schooler from our school! Hey come over here!" We heard Hiragi shout, he was motioning for the child to come. I saw panic all over his face, he's scared. He's so close..then he tripped, I could see him panic even more as he fell to the ground. The three dudes are so close behind him..

WAM!

The guy who was close to the kid is now on the ground. His face was bloodied up. Sakura and Sugishita are now across the barrier. They kicked him in the face..'oh god'

We all got suprised by their sudden action. Nirei looks like he's about to pass out..Suo is..smiling?? Crazy man-

"What have you done?" Nirei said, he looks very troubled. Now I'm getting nervous too..

"What are you talking about? He's one of us. They started this thing." My dear brother is smirking again. He's going to fight them for sure- I have to stop them-

"I'll handle this, go back" Sakura argued to us. Still across the barrier-

"Awh man what is this, well he's out cold." One of the jacket dudes said, his foot pressing against his team mate's face. "WIth a single kick?" The other said, almost laughing. This is making my blood boil.

We could hear a noise from a distance, coming from the tunnel. "What's going on heree?" We heard someone say. His voice hoarse and deep, his voice is sending shivers to my spine. "I saw people with our jackets running hereee....So I came running buuuttt.." 

A person with the same jacket as the jerks came into view- Black hair fluffy hair, a small braid behind his head, round glasses, he was wearing a traditional wooden slipper. Ah. Another pretty boy- Hima...that is our enemy. I smacked my cheek a bit, getting embarrassed by my own thoughts.

"Dammit..out of all people it had to be him..Shishitoren's Vice Commander..Togame Jo.." I heard Higari curse under his breath. I want to hit him. Not Hiragi..I want to hit Togame.

Once Togame was into full view, I saw him lower his glasses with his free hand, the other held a glass bottle. "Why's Furin in our turf?", he glanced at the ground where his team mate lay. "Mmm..?.....Ehhh?! Saruwatari? What happened?" Why does he look so laid back? He doesn't look that worried at all.

"Your guys were chasing one of our guys" Hiragi answered him as he went inside the barrier. Glasses guy waved over at Hiragi as if he was waving at an old friend. "If it isn't the famous Hiragi, How are ya?" he was smiling over at Hiragi.  "Ah. So this.." He pointed at the guy on the ground as if he was an object. "Was done by you guys?" He asked with a big smile on his face..looks pretty psychotic if you ask me.

I could see Sakura going back to a position that looked like he was ready to throw hands. I immediately went over the border and held his arm. "Hold your horses Haru." I said as I watched their next move. The guy on the floor sat up and started screaming. 

"What are you bastards doing?! You guys can't cross the border! You broke the rule! Don't go in our turf-" Before he could finish, that crazy glasses guy hit him with the bottle he was holding. A loud crack echoed through the tunnel. The glass shattered and the guy is now knocked out on the ground yet again.

'What a crazy bastard! He hit his own mate!' I felt my free hand clench into fists. My grip against Sakura's arm tightened. I could feel the rage within me start to erupt.

He held the guy by his head, ready to punch him. "Our turf?" His aura changed then he started hitting him, "You lost though." smack. "That means you're weak." smack. "You should know already.." smack. "Weak guys.." I can't watch anymore...this is cruel.

"STOP!" Hiragi shouted making everyone look at him. Togame paused, "What?" he stared at Hiragi with a blank expression.

"Isn't he one of you?" Hiragi asked, he was also feeling troubled with watching the scene huh.. "Eh? Who?" He was still holding the dude by the hair. "We don't have any weak members. He lost. It means he's weak..and weak people.." He took off the guys jacket. "Aren't needed in Shishitoren." This asshole!

"Lame." Sakura uttered. His pinky scratching his ear. "Strength matters the most huh? Sounds like shit to me." I'm not even gonna cover his mouth, he's right. I agree with him. Sakura just went on while Togame walks closer to us. I inched forward a bit so Sakura wouldn't be face to face with him.

"Beating up the weak is strength now? Just when I thought things were getting interesting, I'm disappointed." Sakura I think you should stop now- He was now standing in front of us, bending a bit so he could be face to face with us. 'I want to step on his foot'

"Disappointed huh?" Togame started, amused by the situation. "Shall we just kill him?" One of his members asked, 'I'll break your face before you could do that' I thought, my fists clenching even harder. Togame noticed and smirked over at me.

"No it's alright..I'm more concerned about something. That's some hair-do you guys have~ If I put your heads side by side, it's just like reversi." He said, his smirk still visible on his face.

"Shut the fuck up before I wipe that smirk off your face." I said straightforwardly, glaring daggers with my eyes. "Hoh~? You're talking too fast" he said, tilting his head closer to mine. I can almost feel his breathing but Sakura pulled me back. 

"You're just way too slow." Sakura said while he was gritting his teeth. "Ah. I see. " Togame stepped back a bit, "I couldn't hear it at all. It's pissing me off!" His smirk was wider now, showing that maniac looking smile.

"Alright. I've decided. With the proper venue..I'll beat you twins up." He pointed at us then placed his finger on the frames of his glasses. "I'll remember your faces" He smiled wickedly before turning away.

"See you around Reversi twins~" His back stared at us as they walked away. "Hima..what the hell was that?" Before Sakura could question me further, Nirei ran up to us. "WHAT WERE YOU TWO THINKING? CAUSING TROUBLE ON THEIR TURF" He looks absolutely mortified.

Suo came closer and held Nirei by the shoulders, "Okay okay..calm down Nirei-kun. It looks like I lost the chance to step in" he said while smiling with his eyes. 'Is he always smiling?', I thought.

"But looking at him, I don't feel so bad" Suo said while pointing at someone, it's Hiragi- he's pouring out his pills on his palm. I almost choked on my spit with the sight. "You might get an overdose Hiragi-san.." I warned.

"I should have been the first one to act, my bad.." Hiragi said while looking down, I patted his back, not really knowing what I should do.

"Let's go back to school for now...hey you middle schooler" He said while looking at the poor kid on the ground. "..I'm Sasaki" the kid answered, tears in his eyes. "Sasaki, come with us" Hiragi said and started walking. I offered my handkerchief to Sasaki and helped him up to his feet then made our way back to school.

***********

We're in school now, making our way up the stairs. Hiragi looks nervous as hell. "We'll have to report this to Umemiya.." Why is he trembling? Is he that scary? I'm even more curious to see this 'Umemiya' now. 

Hiragi opened the door to the rooftop and we all stepped out. The sun gently hits my face, the place is surrounded by plants..that's kinda pretty.

"Umemiya!" Hiragi called out, walking away from us. Then I saw him. Is that him..because damn..

"He looks good"
