Chapter 7

Time: Sunday, Afternoon Place: Kentaro's home

….

….

Hmm...Zzz...Zzz..zz.z? Thinking the room was a bit darker than usual, Kentaro woke up to see a certain girl standing in front of him.

"..." Stare...

"..." Stare…

With the reality setting in, Kentaro let out a scream fitting for the heroine in a shojo manga….

Sometime later….

"You can't just enter someone's room like that.." Kentaro had gotten dressed and gave Shira a lecture. I'd have to teach her some normal etiquette then…

For her part, Shira takes what she's told to heart and says that she would not do it without asking first..

"I only went in due to your cellular device being called multiple times from someone you know."

Someone's calling me.?

Kentaro went to the table where he put his phone and pulled up his contact list.. Holy...24 missed calls.. Itsuka!? What would he want that's so important to be freaking out about…. He went to call him but something else caught his eye.. Or more accurately.. 2 things…

"Uhhhhh…" Crap.. I forgot… With haste, he grabbed Shira and took her to his room..

"Damn... Why don't any of these fit..!?"

"Question, for what purpose do these cloth garments hold?"

"Eh? There to cover yourself up!"

"They seem impractical for combat, as they will get torn.. Why not wear armor then?"

"You can't go out in public wearing armor...and besides, clothes are not meant for fighting"

"Then I will not wear them" sounds of crashing and other loud noises filled the house as Kentaro and Shira fought over the use of clothes…

"Whew.. There's something simple at least to cover you up before we go shopping…"

"I still don't understand how these garments are beneficial.."

"I-It just is!"

With all the ruckus and extra noise the two were making they hadn't noticed a third party walking in…

Why isn't he picking up..? I hope he didn't decide to sleep in.. Itsuka Myoshi was not an early riser, especially on his free days. He however, made an exception for this day in peculiar due to his new-found friend gaining a job. Looked high and low for a week and when I threw him a golden bone, he ditches!? "What a nutcase.." Itsuka was no stranger towards a terrible schedule, and chalked it up to him still being new..gotta give the man some credit though...might just be nervous or stayed up all night...well whatever...I'll get him to buy me a nice meal after I saved his ass!" With a slightly bigger smile, Itsuka continued to make his way towards the main intersection, until he noticed a road block up ahead.. ?

"Move it kid! This is a construction zone.."

"Eh!? What happened here?" This was the way towards Ken's house, right?

"Sorry, someone broke the road and electrical boxes, best head back where you went, might be another way around"

Who in their right mind would destroy the road and other people's property? With that said Itsuka knew that the detour would cost too much time, (also the fact that he would rather not go through the extra effort) he opted to sneak around to cut the time. It took no effort at all to get around the workmen, and with a slight mistake or two, managed to get to the other side of the road block and only a step and walk away from Kentaro's.

Still, they weren't kidding, someone really destroyed the area for good...I hope Kentaro didn't have any blackouts...would suck without t.v. As Itsuka made his way closer towards the aforementioned home, he couldn't help but feel a pit in his stomach... w-what? Why do I have such a bad feeling..Dude… Once he reached the home he had seen the door broken, sending the teen into frantic thinking Shit...shit! "Kentaro!" rushing inside he noticed all sorts of stuff on the ground and the table along with drops of blood. ...Kentaro? Hearing noises from the bedroom..Itsuka carefully made his way don't worry bro...he held up a pan he "borrowed" and entered the slightly open door revealing….

His friend on top of a semi naked girl.. "..." "What the Fu-!" The scream broke the two out of their little world and the 2 boys felt as if many things needed an explanation..

After calming Itsuka down enough, Kentaro knew he had to explain..

"It was not what you think.."

"..."

"I'm serious, nothing happened, and I was just trying to put clothes on her since she refused to herself.."

"...?" The look Itsuka made said that he wasn't buying it.

"Correction," eh? "Kentaro-san helped repair my burning interior while I laid down last night.."

"Dude!"

"That is not what happened!" the quickly crimson face teen made quick gestures and other ways to symbolize wrong.

"Don't say things outta context!" He pointed an accusatory finger at the girl in question and only got a small head turn as a response..

"Don't try to not understand.."

"Whatever dude!" Itsuka shot up, his face was filled with worry and pain..

"Someone busted an entire street and you don't answer.. Not to mention your door is broken, from the outside!. And you don't call or answer whatsoever.." He had a bit of tears due to the pressure from his outburst.. "I was worried, man.. Thought you died.. So I come and see you hanging out with a total cutie, I don't know what to feel.." He sat back down and drank the rest of his water as he took a long breath..

I didn't know he cared that much...especially for someone like me..

"Sorry, stuff came up last night and it took too much out of me… I woke up only an hour ago… sorry.."

"It's alright, just be careful and answer, things have been getting weirder than usual.."

You have no idea Itsuka...And I want to keep it that way..

"Alright, how about I make you a nice lunch as an apology, would that be enough?"

The second those words left Kentaro's mouth, the smile that beamed afterword was more than enough conformation.

"Hell Yes dude!" Itsuka quickly packed his stuff up and made it towards the door..

"Even better, let's go to the café, that way you still get to put some hours in and I get double treatment!"

Glad to see him smile again.. "Sure, let's do that." Kentaro replied with a small smile..

Magician Rank up

Rank 3

"Oh! We can add your new girlfriend as well."

"She's not my girlfriend!" the blush returned with a vengeance..

Seeing his revenge fully fulfilled, Itsuka let out a bigger smile..

"Whatever dude!" He made for the door. "Come on, err?"

"Shira, My designation is Shira.." She then took a bow.

"Neat, call me Itsuka!" he opened the door. "I'm sure you'll love it, the café has it all...and greeted the moon and sky, shining yellow and green…
