His slanted purple irises glared at Piko, who was visibly shaking in his cold, sliver chair. The man offered his hand, to my surprise, and tilted his head in a sickening smile, "Gakupo."

"Gakupo?" Kaito stood up, "Gakupo!" His arms stretched in a wide embrace as the two guys executed a man hug, "Guys, this is Gakupo."

I straightened my glasses, "Yeah, I got that."

Gakupo clapped his hand on Kaito's back, "Kaito and I go way back."

Kaito turned towards Gakupo, "Yup two whole months," He winked, "Karaoke buddy."

"What the heck?" Piko stood up, "You two know eachother?"

Gakupo rolled his eyes, "For someone who is good with computers, you really should have got that branded in your round head by now." He released himself from Kaito and squinted at Piko, "Sorry Kaito. Wish I could catch up, but my business is with this silver-headed shota."

Piko's eyebrows furrowed in rage, "What did you just call me?"

Gakupo waved his hand, "Shota. Why not?"

I could hear his teeth grind together as he forced a smile, "Okay then, what do you want?"

I winced as Gakupo brought his hand towards Piko's body, their last encounter was far from pretty. It rested on his shoulder, where his oversized fingers tightly squeezed around Piko's arm.

"How about we go somewhere…" Gakupo turned away, "more private."

Kaito put his hands on his hips and pouted, "And why, pray tell, would you want to take our Piko somewhere else?"

"What are you, his mom?"

"Gakupo…"

"Well if you want to hear this too, you're welcome to." Gakupo pushed the small boy into the wall, and pointed his finger between his eyes, "Listen well…shota."

I couldn't say anything…all I could do was watch my friend quiver under the larger boy's strength. Piko struggled to get out of Gakupo's grip.

"See my fist?" Gakupo brought his knuckle close to his face, "it really likes you." His face grew to one of mock pity, "But it hasn't really been able to have a proper introduction with your face."

"Gak…Gakupo…" Kaito's eyes were dull with pain, he must of not known about this dark side of Gakupo.

The lavender haired boy brought his face closer to Piko's spitting, "Maybe you two can get personal now."

Piko prepared himself as Kaito, with a sudden outburst of rage tackled Gakupo to the ground, his deep blue hair swinging wildly as I stepped back in shock. Kaito was the cool one. Always clear headed, cracking jokes, I walked towards Piko, eyeing the struggling two on the floor. The bathroom door stall flew open, as Gakupo finally managed to work his way out of Kaito's grasp, knocking his pretty purple head unconscious. An old gray man stood in the doorway, unfazed by the scene, and sipped at the bottle clutched in his hand while returning to his table. The world grew back to its normal speed; I could breathe again. Kaito stood up and brushed invisible dust from his pants, smiling with delight.

"Piko, are you okay?" I turned towards my friend, who was still breathing heavily. He didn't respond for a while, then threw my arm of his shoulder,

"Kiyoteru...why did Gakupo do that?"

"Well, he always seemed kindof aggressive."

Piko grabbed his USB tail and began to twirl it around his finger, "But it wasn't just that." His eyes met mine, "You know that, don't you."

Before I could reply, Piko began to back away, "I-I need to go to the bathroom."

I tried to follow but Kaito held on to my hand, "Let him go." Kaito led me to a silver bench and sat me down, "I know why Gakupo did that."

"Why didn't you say so before?" My eyes were welling up with tears, I had no idea why.

"Don't cry Kiyo! You're the one who always said, 'Be a man 'cause being a man means that you can have more food than your little sister!'"

I smiled, "Well yeah. Wait what?"

"Piko needs to be alone."

"I get that, but why did Gakupo do that? He's not that insane." My eyes glanced towards the moaning body draped over a chair, "Is he?"

"I didn't think he'd do that either." Kaito leaned back on his bench, "We were close."

"Not really. You knew him for two months."

Kaito leaned in towards me. "Well we were Karaoke buds."

"And that changes what…?"

"You wouldn't get it."

Kaito rested his elbow on the armrest and propped up his cheek on his palm, "We were singing 'I Come from a Land Down Under…"

"Ohh I love that song!"

"Yeah…I know…you were singing it."

"When?"

"Remember the whipped cream?"

"Auggh NOOOOOO!"

Kaito giggled, "Well, maybe we should get Piko now."

"But the story…"

"Long story short, Gakupo is Gumi's ex, capice?"

"Que?"

"C'mon let's see how Piko's doing, okay?"

"How do you know all of this."

Kaito flashed a grin, "I know things." His eyes grew dark, "especially when they concern my friends."

"Shouldn't you have told us this earlier?"

"Shh bro, just let it happen."

"That doesn't…"

"Shh…"

"I…"

Kaito clasped his hand over my mouth, "Calm. Calm time. We need to go," Kaito stared out into the distance, "help a friend."

"Was the dramatic effect really necessary?'

"Yes, it was, now come on my loyal steed!"

"Why am I the steed, and a steed? That means horse."

"You're a wizard, then."

"Mage."

"What."

"I'm a mage, deal with it."

"Fine. Now stop being so self-centered and let's go find Piko."

"KK."
