Omake 1!

Time frame: Chapter 9
After Souji, Hajime, Sanosuke, and Kanon were done talking about the Time Healer and meeting Yumeko and Saburo for the first time.

Inspiration from a friend: Aen Silver Fire

Enjoy!

Sanosuke chuckled, "Then we should get going now." Before anyone moved from their spots, Sanosuke took note of Kanon's tired eyes. "Kanon-chan, you look a bit restless. Did you not sleep in the last few hours?" The tone of his voice was gentle, yet demanding.

She blinked, "Ah…" For some reason, she did not want to go over this subject.

But then Souji snickered, "Nope. It seemed she refused to because you and Hajime-kun were out patrolling the area for everyone's safety."

Hajime glanced to Sanosuke when he said, "That's not good, Kanon-chan. You're only sixteen years old and you're still growing." He walked up in front of her and ruffled her hair with a smile. "You need your beauty sleep."

Dryly staring at him, she tilted her head to tell him to take his hand away, but his fingers easily got tangled in her hair. "Hey!" she frowned, grabbed for his hand and her hair with both hands. "I don't need any beauty sleep… ow, hey, be careful!"

Hajime stared quietly and awkwardly at the same time as Souji was snickering in the background. Sanosuke laughed uneasily, trying to take his hand away. But Kanon kept moving her hands around and he barely made any progress to get out of her tangled hair. "See?" he grinned, ruffling her head even more. "Your hair is all messed up! Take better care of yourself!"

Kanon pouted when his other hand took her wrist. She stopped moving and he slowly untangled her hair and then freed himself. Smoothing down her hair, she frowned, "My hair's only messed up because you were playing with it, Sanosuke."

"Here, I'll comb them with my fingers," he offered with a thin smile. "I'll let you take a nap on my lap while we're at it."

"Naooo!" Kanon blurted, backing away like a cat. When she did that, she almost hit her arm to Hajime, but he quietly moved to dodge it.

Souji placed his elbow on Sanosuke's shoulder with a smirk. "Sano-san, looks like we have an disobedient child in our hands," he teased, looking at Kanon. "I'll hold her down for you."

"Why would you care?!" Kanon shot a glare to the green eyes that stared at her mischievously. Reaching for Hajime's arm, Kanon dragged him to the side and hid behind him. Her head peeked out and she hissed, "I won't sleep! And my hair's just fine!"

Hajime sighed and felt her hands squeezing his arm. "Sano, Souji…" he spoke, closing his eyes slowly. "Please do not tease Kanon-san too much. We still have things to take care off." He did not want them to play around for long. Time was running short too.

"Geez, Hajime-kun is defending her," Souji sneered, moving to stand up straight. "You can't hide behind him forever, Kanon."

"Haha," Sanosuke laughed, raising the back of his hand over his mouth. "Okay, let's head back." The time of teasing should not last any longer than it was, he agreed with Hajime. Kanon pouted, still cautious of the men because they were stronger in numbers and in strength. Hajime glanced back to her curiously because she did not move while Sanosuke smiled with a tilting head. "Kanon-chan, are we going or not?"

"Of course!" she whispered loudly, still behind Hajime.

Still wearing a grin, Souji rolled his eyes to her. Kanon acted like a kitten that did not want a bath. But it was a nice treat to see her in this way. Once and a while would not be so bad either. Because of these kinds of moments that Souji was spending with them, it purely meant memories was still worth making and keeping in times like these.

Author's note: Okay, did the time frame make any sense? I didn't want to mislead anyone and tried to make sure where/when exactly this omake would have taken place at. ...Oh wait a sec... Chapter 9 was just the recent chapter. XD Okay, never mind! Thinking too hard here! As long as it didn't make anyone confuse about it.

And I'm not sure if I'm going to have more omake in the future, but I added omake 1 here just in case! I would probably make more if you wish to see a certain scene that should have happened or if you would want to see if this or that took place. Yes, I can take requests... XD

Thanks for reading!
