Chapter: 10 burn
We walked hand in hand out of the campus and back towards HOMRA; his excuse for not letting go of mine was because it was crowded and dangerous in the streets but I didn't need an excuse to hold his. We walked into the bar and the little bell at the top of the door signaled our presence. "Ohayo gozaimasu!" I waved as Izumo turned to face us.
"Ah, Kitsune-Chan! Yata-Kun! Ohayo" he walked around the bar and put his hand on Misaki's forehead "Hmm, I see his fever's gone down; a job well done, Kitsune" he raised his hand and rustled my brown locks.
Misaki looked back at me before slapping Izumo's hand away "what does he mean?"
"I called him last night and told him not to worry, that Yata-Chan was staying at my place" I smiled "Oh yeah, I have something for Izumo"
"For me you shouldn't have" he smiled crossing his arms
I dug around in my bag before pulling out volumes two through four of Durarara "here! Volume five hasn't come out but when it does, I'll make sure I'll get it for you"
He laughed; flipping through the pages "Thanks Kitsune" the blonde wrapped his arms around me before squeezing.
A pang of jealousy hit Misaki and he broke up the hug "T-That's enough, let-let's not get all touchy feely now" he pouted his cheeks picking up a light pink.
"Aww, Yata-Chan wants a hug too!" I smiled pulling him into the group hug.
"What!?" he wasn't expecting to be pressed up against Kitsune, but when he did his blush deepened.
The bell at the top of the door jingled and in walked Kamamoto and other members of HOMRA that Misaki told me not to get involved with; like Eric and Chitose. "Ah, Yata-san; can we talk" Kamamoto asked stepping outside and holding the door for the teen.
Misaki questioningly blinked before nodding and walking out. Izumo walked up stairs to put his new books away and it was just me standing in the middle of the room. I quickly turned around and spotted Anna sitting quietly on the couch; she looked up at me and blinked. I sprinted to the youth and pounced on the couch next to her "Annaaaaaa!~ how are you Anna? Did you miss me?"
She smiled and nodded "Huh? Anna you barely ever talk; Are you sad?" I asked tilting my head but she smiled again and shook her head. "Oh, I know!" I beamed "want me to braid your hair?" Anna looked up at me her eyes showing an emotion I wasn't really familiar with. "What's wrong has anyone ever braided your hair?" she looked at her hands before nodding "Oh, then does that mean you don't like it? I won't do it if you don't like it Anna"
Her head snapped up and she grabbed my hands "well then why didn't you say so?" I smiled before sitting her in my lap and braiding a small part of her sliver locks to the side of her face.
Izumo trotted down the stairs and looked at us before smiling; he made his way towards his bar, where he started to polish his glasses. A couple minutes after a phone call Izumo just ended; the only sounds that echoed in the room were the sounds of Anna's marbles and my soft humming, but they were soon interrupted by the main door slamming open and Misaki's enraged voice. "What did you just say!?" he had Kamamoto in a head lock before he threw him into the imported bar, Izumo always bragged about.
The overweight teen collided with it head first; leaving a small dent. In the heat of the moment the blonde accidently dropped a glass that shattered all over the floor before rushing to the bar's aid "M-My bar!"
"Oh my" I covered Anna's ears at Misaki's profound use of language while he strangled his friend.
"Dammit you guys!" he growled as he picked Yata up off of Rikio and held them both by their heads; unfortunately Yata being the shorter was lifted off the ground. "Listen punks! This bar was especially imported for England. It cost me a fortune!"
Both teen's cringed in pain as he squeezed their heads "Ow! Mr. Kusanagi you're going to crush my skull!" he rambled on about the beauty of his bar without care for the two "Mr. Kusangi… please let go"
"Wow, Kusanagi-san sure is strong" I gawked and Anna sighed in embarrassment.
"So, care to tell me how this fight all started, boys?" Izumo sighed and both 'men' started to point accusing fingers exclaiming their theories about why Mr. Mikoto allowed himself to be captured; it got to a point where Misaki attempted kicking Kamamoto in the air.
I tried to suppress my giggles over his childish behavior "sorry"
Izumo randomly chuckled manically while Anna and I stared at each other very confused. He pulled both boys into a hug and their expressions reflected ours "do you want me to tell you why Mikoto purposely allowed himself to be captured?"
"Uh… yes" Yata hesitantly answered.
"If you apologize to my bar with respect, I'll tell you" Izumo stood behind his bar a serious expression painted on his face.
I looked over to see Anna smiling, she covered her mouth and looked away "are you laughing Anna?" she straightened up and shook her head.
They both bowed "We are sorry" and Kusanagi explained to them that Mikoto let himself get captured, so they could move around freely without scepter 4 on their backs. They felt stupid not being able to figure that out on their own.
"Alright you see I told you!" the teen gloated; just then a ringing sounded in the room and Misaki clicked his tongue "Moshi Moshi?" there was a long pause "eh?!"
"Huh, Yata-Chan? Who is it?" I asked curiously.
"Really?! Hang on; I'm on my way!" the skater hung up and slipped the phone back into his pocket "Kitsune! Kamamoto! Let's go!"
"I'm counting on you, Yata-kun" Izumo waves us goodbye as Misaki grabbed my hand and pulled me off the couch.
"Huh, w-wait, Bye Anna! Izumo!" I yelled as I was dragged out the bar. We ended up in the middle of an underground train station; where there were little shops ran by nice people.
Three older men where causing trouble for an owner of one of the stores; trying to pry information out of her. Misaki kicked one of them square in the stomach, sending him flying backwards "What the hell, I rushed over because I heard there was trouble with the guy who killed Totsuka" he sighed disappointed "these were the guys you meant?"
"Damn you, punk; what the hell do you think you're doing?!" one of the men, offended by a minor scoffed back; Yatagarasu stood unfazed by their smart remarks. The store clerk ran to him and clung onto his shirt from behind "Yata-Chan, help me out here. These guys won't go away! They want me to tell them about you!"
"Get lost." Misaki growled in a warning his expression was fierce and it scared me "you heard me, get lost." He waved them away with one hand "or else you're going to be in a lot more pain"
"Fuck you!" he growled pulling out a gun.
"Misaki!" I stepped to move but Kamamoto put a hand up to stop me; the brunette looked in my direction before looking back at his opponent; the clerk lady was long gone.
"So you guys want to know about us? Then I'll tell you." his mouth turned up into a smirk "I am HOMRA. We are HOMRA." He pulled down his shirt to show the insignia of HOMRA; a tattoo looking design that I've seen before on his skateboard "Mikoto-san taught us that. This represents our pride-" Misaki was cut off by a gun shot that he miraculously dodged, kicking out of the enemies hands in the process. I yelped out in fear as he fought off the men with amazing speed. He caught the gun in one hand and stomped his foot on the wall next to the man's face; before chuckling darkly "hey jerkoff's, I'm giving you a good story here" he placed the back of the gun to the male's fore head and growled "pay attention!"
The gun glowed a red as the metal of the gun acted as a conductor and imprinted the design of the gun's bottom onto his skin. He let out a blood hurdling scream as it burned into his skin "Misaki, Stop! You're hurting him!" I yelled but Rikio's voice blocked mine out.
"What should we do with them, Yata?" he asked in a mocking tone.
"Ah, as much as we can without killing them" he smiled as a menacing red aura surrounded him.
"Misaki!" I ran up to him as the rest of the gang drew blood from the other two men and snatched the gun from his hand and away from the man's face. Quickly regretting the action; I dropped the gun forgetting that it was still very hot. "Ow!" and Yata grabbed my hand.
"What the hell are you thinking, Kitsune?!" He yelled examining my palm.
My palm was red and it hurt where I had grabbed the gun "Misaki! Stop it you're hurting him!" I pushed him away and stood in front of the man who had fallen unconscious from shock and pain. Yata's face was surprised that I took such a spontaneous action. I looked around at all the blood being shed "Call it off, Misaki!"
He looked around and then back at me confused "Kitsune?"
"You're scaring me, Misaki!" I yelled holding my hands to my chest.
He was taken back and his face softened back into the Misaki I knew "Oi, stop it!" he barked at the clan members.
"What?" Rikio asked speaking up for the rest of the guys.
"You heard me, were done here; let's go" he moved to take my hand but stopped himself, afraid that he would hurt me again; instead he spun around and led the group out of the station. Sad that I hurt Misaki and conflicted with emotions I ran; I ran the opposite way and didn't stop.
