chapter 3

Takemichi ran as fast as he can towards the pet shop, a massive grin on his face, him holding good news. It was quite a shock that it was easy doing this, and he thought it'll be dangerous and difficult like what he and Naoto did in the last time travels.

Once he reached the entrance of the shop, he took some deep breaths before slamming the door open, much to Kazutora and the cat he's holding surprises. They both flinch by the big thud the door made.

"Kazutora-kun!" Takemichi called, breathing heavily from running nonstop.

The said male turned around and the cat meowed softly, "Takemitchy?"

"We're meeting Mikey at 5 pm."

"..." His golden orbs then widen when he realized what he just said. "WHAT?!"

"Bitches we have good news!" Kazutora announced with a big smile on his face as he opened the door towards the store's office. By his loud voice and sudden shout, Chifuyu and Baji's whole body shook. The two then looked at him, ready to punch the shit out of him. Takemichi was just behind Kazutora, holding the cat the latter was holding earlier. (He gave it to him so he could slam the door down where Baji and Chifuyu were.)

"Don't scream! Jeez," Chifuyu growled as he ran his fingers through his raven hair.

"Hehe, sorry. Just very happy," Kazutora scratched the back of his neck.

Baji was seated in front of the desk, arm resting on the edge, "What's all the ruckus?"

"Takemitchy here has a meeting with Mikey later~"

Silence. Until...

"WHAT?!" Baji and Chifuyu stood up in unison. "HOW?!"

Kazutora looked at Takemichi, still holding the smile he had earlier, "Mind doing the honours?"

"Well," Takemichi began, tilting his head to the side and looking around to avoid eye contact. he then ran his fingers through his messy black hair. "Naoto just got his number and ta-da, we have contact with him."

"HOW THOUGH?!" Chifuyu stated.

"Woah, easy," Baji held Chifuyu's shoulders firmly and pushed him down to let him sit down.

"I don't know as well," Takemichi chuckled.

"That doesn't matter," Baji smiled. "What time will you be going?"

"What? You're coming with me."

"HAH?!"

"Chifuyu, calm down," Baji panicked.

"I think he's on drugs nowadays," Kazutora jested. "That aside, we'll be meeting Mikey by 5 pm, so let's close this shop early."

"Alright," Baji stood up, grabbing one last glance at Chifuyu to check if he was okay, before walking away and getting ready to close the shop.

"What's going on!?" Shinichiro slammed his head on the desk, letting his arms fall by his side. He was by his office, by the desk in the middle of the large room, and an extensive window was behind him, with the view of the city. The room was decorated in gothic colours, maroon, gold, and black painted everything. This wasn't Shinichiro's style, at all. He preferred more subtle and fine colours like white or brown.

Mikey was seated by the burgundy velvet chair available meters away from his older brother's desk. There were two actually, and he was seated at the right side. He took a bite from his taiyaki and shrugged, "I don't know as well."

"You know anything about Bonten?" Shinichiro muttered while his face was still smashed on the table.

"Bonten was one of my gangs in the present," Mikey said. "It was the result of my gang named Kantou Manji Gang against the war of the three deities? Yeah, that. The logo was inspired by Izana-nii's earrings. I don't know now about the reason Bonten was created."

"And how did I become a criminal?!" Shinichiro lifted his head up, revealing a red mark on his forehead. "My values and beliefs are far from this!"

"I don't know as well," Mikey shrugged. "How about you ask for help."

"Manjiro, I'll look stupid if I ask for the documents of my criminal doings."

"Just act tough- oh wait," Mikey grinned mischievously. "You don't know how."

"That's the point," Shinichiro pouted. "I'll just ask. Rate my intimidating-ness."

"What word is that?" Mikey tried to control his laugh.

"I don't know," Shinichiro said. "You know your brother's stupid as shit."

Mikey laughed. Shinichiro then stopped smiling, clapping two times hoping to see someone enter the room.

"Why'd you do that?" Mikey was laughing so hard.

"I saw it in movies!"

To anyone's surprise, a guy with blue and purple streaks entered the room. He wore a blue suit paired with a pink tie. His hair was short, bangs slicked back to the side. He had a calm and serene smile on his face, and his eyes were half-closed. He had the same tattoo as everyone else printed on his throat. Shinichiro recoiled about how much pain he felt while the needle drew on his throat. He went closer to Shinichiro, his hands on his pockets.

"Kindly get all of the documents recording all criminal activity Bonten has done," The ravenette shot him a glare. "Don't question why."

"But sir," Ran stumbled on his words. "You know every single crime you made-"

"Just give it to me, please?"

"Yes, sir," The man bowed one last time before turning around. He leaned closer to Mikey, "Is the commander alright?"

"I think the drugs Sanzu put in his drinks are finally kicking in," Mikey joked.

Ran chuckled before leaving, "Hope he goes back to normal."

As the man left the room, Mikey started to laugh, holding his stomach. Shinichiro whined and buried his face onto his hands, his ears red from embarrassment.

"HAHAHAHA YOU LOOKED LIKE AN IDIOT!" Mikey said, running out of breath as tears fell down his eyes. "AFTER ACTING ALL TOUGH YOU THEN SAID PLEASE!"

"Manjiro, stop teasing me," Shinichiro mumbled. If Waka sees this, he'll laugh much louder than Manjiro.

"You're going to hell," Shinichiro said.

Little did he know, Wakasa heard everything from outside and told Benkei and Takeomi everything.

chapter 3! I really had fun writing this chapter, though it's one of the shortest ones, it's very relieving to me hehe. I'm sorry for making shin stupid, I just see him that way :"D and yeah, in the next chapters, I'll be adding tagalog dialogue bc I'm filo and I want to since they studied in manila blah blah all that.

this is becoming more comedy and fluff rather than being serious just like how I planned it to be

oh well, more fillers. I should stop.

no notes for now, what will I explain? I can't even understand how michi and naoto got mikey's number. and I don't know what to do to make shinichiro remember everything that happened before building bonten.

I'll make up some things, eventually.

anyways, thank you for such fast reads T^T like, for a newly published book that just got 22 reads in just a few hours is insane :D thank you for all your support ^^

I also post this on quotev and fanfiction btw, and fanfiction told me 100 people had already read this in a few hours.

I didn't expect someone to read something with just 2 chapters

well, consider myself lucky.
