Summary: There were only three kids of the Akai Family, right? There was no way that Masumi had a third older brother. So why the hell were these people calling him Akai Mitsuharu? More importantly, how the hell was he even alive!? [OC Insert as Akai Sibling]

One thing Mitsuharu didn't expect to see was twenty two year old Miyano Akemi in an alley, surrounded by a pair of robbers. Haru could've walked away and pretended that he didn't see anything. He probably should have. If this happened off screen in canon, then it'd work its way out. But once again, he acted against better judgement and interfered. "Leave her alone!"

"Stay out of this brat!" One of the men warned, flashing his knife at him.

Haru reached into his pocket to reveal a knife of his own. Mary had bought him it just before she and Masumi left, wanting Haru to have something to protect himself with. She didn't trust Haru with a gun yet, especially since he had no experience or permit. "Get away from her,"

"Cocky brat!" The first man charged with his knife.

With one swift motion, similar to Okiya Subaru during the Ikkaku Rock Case, Haru knocked the man's knife away before lunging with his own knife. The knife was a distraction and instead he knocked the man out with a punch to the gut. The second man also charged at Haru and managed to cut the sixteen year old's arm. Haru winced in pain but hit the man in the face with an open palm before twisting the hand that held the knife. He pivoted and delivered a swift kick to the man's chin, knocking him out.

"Are you alright?" Haru asked. 'That cut wasn't too deep but it's still painful!'

"Y-Yes," Akemi nodded. "Thank you for saving me," She noticed the blood seeping through the tear in Mitsuharu's sleeve. "You're hurt!"

"This is nothing," Haru told her. "I've been through worse," 'Like being burned alive,'

"Let me tend to your wound," Akemi requested. "You got hurt because of me,"

"The more blood that spills out, the more stained my uniform will be," Haru agreed. "Let's also call the cops to deal with these thugs,"

Akemi retrieved a first aid kit from her car and started to sterilize the wound with hydrogen peroxide. Haru hissed as the cotton swab made contact but did his best to keep still. Akemi applied some ointment and then a bandage. The cops arrived just as Akemi finished. They gave their statements and the unconscious thugs were thrown into a patrol car.

Haru didn't expect to see Akemi after that. He especially didn't think that he'd see her and her boyfriend at Café Poirot while he was on shift. "You're the man that saved me from the robbers!" After all this time, Akemi didn't forget him. "I don't believe I got your name back then,"

'I don't want to use Sera for my surname and since Azusa is out of earshot…' The waiter offered a handshake. "My name is Field Haru,"

Moroboshi Dai eyed Haru carefully. 'Kaa-san did say that he wanted to stay in Japan. At least he isn't blowing my cover or claiming any relation to me. Why did he choose the surname Field? He didn't officially change it yet like Kichi,'

"I'm Miyano Akemi," Akemi shook his hand. "This is my boyfriend,"

"Moroboshi Dai," Dai introduced himself. "Thank you for saving Akemi,"

"Anyone would've done the same thing," Haru claimed. "Why don't I show you two lovebirds to a table and get out of your hair?"

"Haru-san," Azusa held a small box out to him once the latter's shift was over. "The two people you were talking to earlier bought this for you,"

"Huh?" Haru blinked in confusion. "For me?"

"They said it's a thank you gift," Azusa placed the box in Haru's hands. "Why did she call you Field-san? I was confused when she was saying to give it to someone with that name but it was a good thing that she pointed to you. I didn't correct her on your surname though,"

"When I graduate, I'm changing my surname to Field to honor my deceased friend," 'Well, technically my deceased self but I can't say that out loud,' Haru grabbed his backpack and headed back to the Kudo Residence.

"What's in the box?" Shinichi asked once Haru got home.

Haru lifted the cover to reveal its contents. "Pie," He answered. "Want half of it?"

"No thanks," Shinichi refused. "Some girl gave lemon pie to the soccer team and it tasted horrible. I don't know why the others lied and said it was delicious,"

"More for me then," Haru dug into the dessert. 'It's a pumpkin pie, my favorite. I bet Pierrot-nii was the one who suggested it,'

He ended up encountering Akemi again at a bookstore. "We meet yet again, Field-san," Akemi greeted. "We seem to meet each other often,"

"Call me Haru," He responded. "Field-san ismy father," 'It's not exactly lying since in my previous life my dad's last name was Field,'

"Haru-san, do you have any recommendations for any good books?" Akemi asked.

"Depends on what you prefer," Haru replied. "I myself like mysteries, action, and adventure. For mysteries I obviously recommend Holmes Sherlock but for action and adventure, I suggest reading the manga series One Piece. It's about crew known as the Strawhat Pirates sailing the seas to become the freest. It is amazing,"

"You're really enthusiastic about it," Akemi commented.

"It's one of my favorite series," Haru said. "It's also been ongoing for years now,"

Akemi went ahead to pay for the books she had picked out while Haru continued browsing. After Haru paid for his books, he noticed that Akemi had forgotten her phone. He quickly grabbed it and ran outside to look for her. "Miyano-san? Miyano-san?" The phone began ringing and Haru answered it.

"Akemi—"

"Moroboshi-san, Miyano-san forgot her phone at the bookstore. Can you drop by to pick it up for her?"

"Haru-san!" Akemi was running towards him. "Oh thank god you found my phone. I forgot it at the bookstore and was worried someone might have taken it. Thank you so much, Haru-san!"

"Never mind Moroboshi-san," Haru said to his undercover brother. "Miyano-san came back for her cellphone," He hung up and passed the device to her.

Since they kept on encountering each other, Haru and Akemi exchanged numbers and eventually became friends.

So Haru is friends with Akemi now. No, he won't be trying to earn her affections and create a love triangle. They're just friends.

Haru may or may not have gotten scolded by Akai for hanging up on him suddenly like that.
