A/N: Greetings old and new readers! It's been a while -nervously laughs-, before you would go and rant to me for taking too long on my hiatus might I just say that I was, well in a way, "busy" with life these days. I know that it's a lowly excuse for someone who feeds you with my personal stories but I just got into college, just finished my second term and got sent to the hospital due to dengue and extreme exhaustion. It's still an unacceptable reason but that's the only thing that I could give for the reason of my long term absence, I won't come up with a stupid reason like "a dragon just attacked my village and killed off my entire family, so I went on a quest to kill that dragon in order to have my revenge for my family's death", or maybe?

Anyways, I hope that you would enjoy this short filler that I've written while I was on hiatus, I had a hard time writing these day and I only got inspired because of one shower session I had.

'I have a message for CROW'

Mitsuki puts on a smirk as she leans back on her chair, listening to the voice from the speaker phone.

'CROW is not here, but I am willing to take the message and give it to CROW'

There was a pause from the other line, then muffled whispers can be heard, after that the man that first spoke through the phone came back on the line.

'We prefer to speak to CROW, we are not allowed to give this message to anyone else'

'Too bad' Mitsuki put her feet up on the desk and took the letter opener as she play with it with her fingers. 'As I told you before, CROW is currently not here. If you wish to insist to have your message received directly by CROW, I suggest that you'll have to call again next time because you are obviously wasting my time right now'

'Wait!-'

Then Mitsuki hears those muffled whispers again.

'Very well' The man on the line cleared his throat. 'Master Kurosawa demands to see CROW immediately, he expects it to be tomorrow at noon, same place'

'Is that all?'

'The Master was not pleased at her last mission; he is now in line of being arrested by SCEPTER4 due to her failure. So he requires to see her before he is to be arrested, this is code WKTQATK (BREAKER)'

'Interesting' Mitsuki stood up from her seat. 'Alright then, consider your message delivered to CROW. Have a good day'

Then she stabs the speaker phone with the letter opener.

Reisi suddenly woke up by a loud ringing that was coming from the other room; he sat up on the couch and only to be greeted by an excruciating headache. He groaned in pain as he tries to rub his temples in attempt to ease the pain even for a bit but sadly it didn't work, and then he reached out his hand on the coffee table as he grabs his glasses and immediately wears it. As his vision become to a clear, the first thing he saw was that the whole living room was a mess. Empty bottles of alcoholic beverages were scattered all over the floor, decorations on the wall were all taken down, porcelain vases shattered into pieces, and cracks on the wall as if someone tried to punch a hole on the wall.

'What the hell happened?'

He was shocked at his surroundings yet he couldn't remember how it all happened, might have happened after drinking too much alcohol.

'Seems like Akane's going to furious if she sees her home looking like dumpster'

Then the thought of Akane gave him a bitter feeling inside his chest, he started to wonder on where she could be and hopes that she's alright. But the more that he would think about her, the heavier the feeling grows within his chest. Munakata was starting to regret everything, drinking and kissing someone else, but to him his biggest regret was that he didn't stop her from leaving by keeping her within his embrace and keep on reminding her on how much he truly loves her.

Then his reflection was disturbed by a loud banging at the front door, he quickly jumped off his seat for he wasn't expecting anyone. Suddenly he thought that it might have been Akane at the door right now, she came back, and she came back to him. Excitement filled his insides as he ran for the door, without a moment to lose, turning the doorknob and bursting the door open only to be greeted by a big surprise.

He immediately gave the person a tight embrace as he repeatedly mumbles an apology.

'Oi, what's a fucking block-of-ice like you doing here?'

Then he realizes it was a different person.

It was Mitsuki Yamamoto.

'Yamamoto-san,' He immediately lets go of her and took a small step back 'It's nice seeing you today… What brings you here?'

Mitsuki looked awfully pissed. 'Where's Akane?'

He got startled for a moment. 'A-akane?'

'Yes!' She crossed her arms and begins to tap her foot out of impatience. 'That bitch hasn't been answering my calls, she's inside isn't she?'

Then Mitsuki charges for the door but Munakata steps in, preventing her from going in.

'Sorry Yamamoto-san, but it's seems like honey is asleep right now and you wouldn't want to disturb her, right?'

'Asleep? Oi, listen here you punk' She jabs a finger onto his chest. 'Not once has Akane rejected my calls, not even in her sleep or in the middle of having sex-'

He snapped. 'We didn't!'

She thinks for a moment. 'I have a feeling that you're hiding something from me'

'Hiding?' He lets out a laugh. 'I'm not hiding anything at all; Akane just had too much to drink today and went off to bed ahead of me'

Mitsuki doesn't buy it; she leans in closer to him and to find out that he reeked of alcohol and tobacco.

'Geez' Retreats herself and feels like she was about to vomit. 'What the fuck have you been drinking? Fucking hell, ever heard of a shower?'

'Sorry, Akane and I kind of played a game that involved drinking and smoking'

She raised a brow. 'Smoking? You know that she hates smokers right?'

'I know that!'

'That's it!' She shoved Munakata inside the house and he fell backwards down the floor as Mitsuki charges in. 'I don't know what's gotten into you but-'

Then as she enters the house, the first thing she sees the house being a complete mess. Her jaw completely dropped the moment she saw the whole place trashed and chaotic. Then her rage starts to boil up inside her as she screams out loud, releasing all of the anger and frustration that welled up inside her.

'Oi four-eyes,' She stormed her way towards him as she hoisted him up by his collar. 'What the hell happened here?!'

'About that-'

'Never mind, I don't care about your reasoning' She threw him back to the floor, this time more harshly. 'Where's Akane?'

Then suddenly a thought came into her mind.

'Don't tell me-'

She immediately ran across the living room, to the hallway and went straight to Akane's bedroom only to find it empty.

Then she snapped.

'Munakata!'

It took Mitsuki a while to finally calm down from her outbreak of unspeakable furry, it really scared Munakata that he had to be a few feet away from her just for the sake of his safety and after that he started to fear a woman's wrath. Then for an unknown reason, Reisi found himself kneel-sitting in front of Mitsuki as she towers over him with a pissed off look on her face, her arms crossed and a dark aura surrounding her.

'So Munakata,' Looking down on him as she feels so dominant over him. 'What happened to Akane?'

'About that,' He can feel a drop of sweat trickling down from his forehead. 'We kind of had a "small" fight'

'Eh? Small you say, huh?' Looking around the surroundings. 'Doesn't seem like a small fight as you said it was, if it was small then this place shouldn't be trashed in the first place. Don't tell me it was you who did this'

Reisi was about to say something, a lame excuse to get himself out of trouble but Mitsuki snapped at him.

She sounded more like a person with authority, or a mother punishing her child.

'This time, the truth'

Letting out a sigh Munakata finally gave in.

'Alright, it's my fault that Akane left. It's because I cheated on her-'

Slap.

'You what!?'

Mitsuki shouted at him as he stares back at her, he wasn't expecting that she would slap him like that.

He can feel the sting of pain on his left cheek starting to grow.

'I-It was only an accident, I had too much to drink and Akari was there-'

Slap.

'You fucking cheated on her with that woman?!'

'Yes, I know, I'm stupid, I get it, and I regret it! I didn't know what was going on at that moment. When Akane found out she was so mad, we fought, she got frustrated, and she left'

Slap.

'Alright the first two was reasonable' Rubbing his sore cheek. 'But what was the third one for?'

Shaking her hand. 'Just felt like it, you're a bitch'

'Wow, thanks' He had a straight face on and said sarcastically. 'It was fun being your slapping dummy'

'You fucking deserved it!'

'Look, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to be a jerk towards Akane, believe me Yamamoto-san. I didn't mean to hurt her'

She scoffs. 'Then Akane would have still been here, instead of wandering around the whole city, going all missing suddenly. I wouldn't have to drag my ass here from a thousand miles away; I would be in another city for business and not worrying where my best friend would be going off to in the middle of the night. Do you even understand what I have to go through for her, Munakata?'

Then tears started to drop from the corner of Mitsuki's eyes and she buries her face in her palms, dropping down to her knees.

'Akane is my one and only friend, Munakata, I'll be damned if anything bad ever happens to her'

Reisi bit his lip as he felt a pang of guilt as he sees Mitsuki crying her eyes out, he felt a little bit of admiration for her because she would be willing to sacrifice many things just for her friend's well-being, it felt like they were more than just friends- but more on like sisters. At first Reisi couldn't believe it but he was actually jealous on the closeness of their relationship. He reached out his hand and placed it on Mitsuki shoulder, patting it in a comforting manner.

'We may not be in good terms right now, you and I, but we shouldn't be fight one another at this moment as well. Akane may be missing but that doesn't mean she couldn't handle herself'

Wiping her tears with her sleeve. 'How would you know that?'

'Because she's Watanabe Akane, she's SCEPTER4's greatest Clansman and she's a strong independent woman, she can handle herself, just have faith'

'You're right' Mitsuki stood up, straightened herself, and reaches out her hand towards Reisi. 'Since you're giving me a pep talk about faith and all that shit, I'll test it out then, but I'm going to need your help'

He stares at the hand. 'What do you plan to do then?'

She smiles. 'We'll look for Akane, together'

Reisi wasn't sure what he has gotten into, but partnering up with Mitsuki is something new to him and something that he would never expect since she practically hates him to the gut, but it was for the sake of finding Akane's whereabouts so it was a risk he would dare to take.

'Alright then, Yamamoto-san'

He takes her hand.

It was already late at night at the Homra bar and not a while ago Totsuka had to excuse himself for the night which left Kusanagi and Watanabe all alone in the bar. Shortly after her arrival she was given a new set of clothes that came from Suoh Mikoto's wardrobe, since her clothes were in the dryer after getting all wet from the rain. Even though he knows that he's going to get in trouble for it but he couldn't just let his friend get naked while her clothes are in the dryer, he could but he wouldn't, she needed them. Kusanagi lent her one of Mikoto's v-neck shirts, which was quite loose for her except it was tight around the chest area, and a pair of jeans, which ended up being too long so Akane had to roll it up until her knees.

'Here'

Kusanagi handed Akane a glass of wine and sat on the separate couch next to her.

'Thank you'

Placing the rim of the glass on her lips as she takes a small sip of the wine, it went down smoothly as she can feel it's warmth down her throat. It tasted so bold, so rich and so nostalgic; it felt like it was the perfect drink in a late rainy night as she starts to feel like all of her troubles are being swept away.

'Tell me something Watanabe-san,' He breaks the silence. 'What happened to you earlier?'

For a moment Akane felt anxious to answer his question. 'I got into a fight with a friend at my house, that's all'

'A fight you say?' He placed his chin on the palm of his hand and listens. 'Seems like a pretty serious fight then'

'Yeah' She ran her fingers through her damp hair and ruffled her hair in frustration. 'But I don't want to talk about it'

'That's one hell of a bullshit friend you got there'

'You got that right; he's nothing but a piece of shit'

'Then why didn't you kick him out of your house then? I mean, it is your house'

'You think I don't regret doing that'

He scoffs.

'You're so stupid'

She pounds her fist on the wooded bar.

'Shut up!'

'What did you guys even fought about? I mean like is really that big that you ended up walking on your friend'

Izumo looks at Akane's face, trying to read her expression but she stubbornly turns her head away.

'Or maybe you just lost a pathetic argument and you couldn't answer back so you just had to walk out' He smirks. 'You really are pathetic'

'Alright, that's it!' Akane snaps and grabs Izumo by the collar. 'Why don't you try having your boyfriend to cheat on you with Mayoka Akari and break off your very first serious relationship, huh? You don't fucking know what I had to go through, you men are so fucking insensitive and pathetic'

Akane glared at Izumo as her hands tightens its grip on his collar and suddenly she hears Izumo laughing.

'What's so funny?' She let's go as she was taken aback. 'Oi! Don't you dare laugh at me like that!'

'I can't believe I got you there' He couldn't stop laughing and felt a tear was coming out of the corner of his eye as he wipes it off. 'You really fell for it'

'Did you just-'

Akane then realized his ulterior motive of pissing her off was to have her spill the beans.

'Yup'

'Fucking hell!' She jabs a finger into his chest. 'I'm going to kill you, someday!'

'Alright, alright. I'm sorry'

'I hate you so much! You even had to say those shit just so that I can tell you what happened, you soulless mother fucker'

'But isn't that what friends should do, tell each other their problems?' He smiles. 'We are friends after all, Watanabe-chan'

Akane sees the stupid smile on his face and she turns her head away out of embarrassment, with cheeks blushing red.

'I really hate you'

'I know'

Izumo pats her head; he seems to enjoy seeing that embarrassed look on her face and find her too adorable.

'Oi'

Izumo and Akane's head turned as they hear someone call out to them with a pissed off tone, only to be greeted by a red-head with a furious look on his face.

A/N: That's it! I know that you were all expecting something bigger and better but sadly I don't feel confident about my writing skills these days because I just got back from my long hiatus, damn my drafts of this chapter was so much better but I ended up sticking with this one. I hope this is okay with you all, for now. Don't worry I'll make it up to you all soon, I promise that.

Please leave a review, it helps me out a lot when it comes to motivating myself to write because I know that someone is out there still reading my crap.
