I do not own Tokyo Revengers or Inuyasha

Chapter 5: Out

Her face, to be put frankly, was fucked the hell up. Her left eye was near swollen shut, her lip was busted, and her right cheek was scraped up. Her knuckles were red and had been shredded by whatever and whoever she had been hitting. Kagome pouted and avoided eye-contact as they appraised her face. She knew she looked rough, but she still won! The loser who had been talking shit on her brother was in the hospital with a broken leg and cuts on his face that would definitely need stitching.

"Yo, Kago-tan. Nice face." Mikey teased, narrowing his eyes playfully.

"Shut-up! At least I won!" Her brow ticked. They couldn't all be an overpowered blonde chibi. Kagome was short, petite in build and almost as skinny as a twig. Emma made fun of her endlessly for it. As such, people always underestimated her. Their muscles would stay soft and relaxed, their attention focused just enough to talk shit. They were completely unready for her right hook, her her teeth, her sharpened nails. Kagome would never be the type of fighter that her brother or his gang were. She was fast, flexible and scrappy which worked out for her just fine in the few times she needed it.

"Why are guys still in my apartment? Go away." The girl stepped past them and opened her dresser to find new clothes the wear.

"Are you going out again already?" Chifuyu asked as he sat on the edge of her bed.

"Yeah."

Chifuyu glanced at Mikey wondering if he was going to press her for more information.

"You should invite Emma. She's worried about you."

"No thanks."

"Where are you going? Kagome!" Chifuyu squawked she grabbed the edges of her shirt to lift it over her head. The boy gasped and whipped his head around as a large blush overtook his face. " Don't take your clothes off in front of boys!"

"Wow, Kago-tan you got beat up real bad" Mikey gave an impressed whistle as he looked at all of the bruises on her torso.

"Don't look Mikey-no-baka!" She growled and turned to glare at the boy.

"Well you shouldn't have started undressing in front of us!" Chifuyu fussed at her while covering his steaming face with his hands. Kagome turned her back to them, a small smile on her face. Chifuyu-kun was so cute! She glanced at Mikey from the corner of her eye and saw him looking off to the side with a soft barely-there blush coloring his cheeks.

Chifuyu gave a mortified whimper when he heard more of the girl's clothes fall to the ground. When he didn't hear anymore clothing moving, he peeped between his fingers just in time to she her shorts get pulled over her surprisingly well shaped rear.

"Strawberries." Both Chifuyu and Kagome whipped around to face the small teen as he muttered the the pattern decorating her underwear. A fierce blush rose to Kagome cheeks as she reached behind Chifuyu to grab a pillow to throw.

"Pervert!"

"Kago-tan, where are you going dressed like that?" Mikey looked her up and down, noting how he could see the smooth, pale curve of her rear peeking from the bottom of her shorts. He grit his teeth.

"Out." The girl snipped as she searched for a pair of earrings. Chifuyu looked at Mikey with a questioning gaze. The room was starting to feel a little cramped.

"Kagome." The gang leader stepped forward and hardened his gaze and voice.

"Mikey." She turned to go get her makeup bag when a hand shot out grasped her arm tightly. A startled gasp left her when Mikey yanked her close and looked down at her with an intimidating gaze.

"Where the hell are you going Kagome?" He lowered his face to hers so that they were only a few inches away from each other. The girl instinctively looked down and away, feeling the immense pressure being given off by the infamous gang leader.

"I don't know yet.I haven't decided," she said softly. Mikey smiled down at her and pat her head. "You should hang out with Emma then. But, it's perfectly understandable if you want to stay home too. It's important to grieve. You can't just go around and pick fights to avoid it."

"But-"

"Are you hanging with Emma today or are you staying home?" Mikey smiled down at her as if she was the one who had narrowed her day down to only two options.

"I'll go hang with Emma today I guess." At least she'd be going outside. She couldn't stomach the thought of staying in the apartment. Sitting alone in an empty apartment would just make her feel as though she was waiting for her brother to come home.

"I'll walk you." Mikey said while texting his sister to ask for her whereabouts. Kagome sighed and grabbed her purse and keys as Mikey led them out of the apartment.

Only briefly upset that he had been entirely forgotten, Chifuyu left the girl's room and walked down the hall, stopping at Baji's closed bedroom door. He laid a hand on it and debated opening it. He felt as though he would be desecrating it. Baji's mother should be the first one to go inside-the room of her only son.

Chifuyu left the apartment.
