NAJAKUN'S POV:
I don't know what to do. Aniki and Idoiko have been gone for over a week now, and I just don't know what to do! I've tried asking her friends, but they're not here either! So, I'm on my way to Kai-Kai's house now, to see if she knows what they're up to- Well, and to see my crush! As I parked my bike on the sidewalk just out front of her ao, I noticed something. I haven't checked with Sueo-kun. Oh, Well. If Kaiogane doesn't know, then I'll just ask Sueo. I walked up the polished granite stairs, and knocked on the door. "ONE MINUTE!" A hoarse voice called, and my heart dropped. Why is her voice so strained? Was she crying? Well, I sure hope not. Once the door opened, My heart dropped even lower. My cheeks flushed. My balls ached. Oh shoot, what a beauty! "Uh…Najakun?" Oh- Oops, I was staring. I hope that wasn't weird. "Oh, Uh… hai, do you know where Aniki and Onee-chan are?" She just stared at me, and I cocked my head to the side. Nani?
KAIOGANE'S POV:
I was watering Pat, uh, and cake- my flowers, when I figured I should probably put on some music! So, I took out my phone, and put on my favorite song~ Go Kitty Go!

My favorite song! I couldn't help but sing along to it- It's just too good not to sing along to!

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
Aww, Shoot! I was just 'bout to sing the chorus too!
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!
damnit, so impatient! "ONE MINUTE!" I called to my anonymous visitor. Oh. My voice must be really hoarse from singing songs…OH WELL! I put down my watering can, and turned to my pink painted door before gently twisting the gold chain lock to reveal Idoiko's younger brother. Najakun. As soon as I smiled at him, his cheeks flushed. He stared at me for a moment, and I began to wonder if he forgot why he was here, or what he was going to say. Yeah, 'cuz that happens to me sometimes. "Uh…Najakun?" I asked. His eyes refocused on me, and I smiled. "Oh, uh…Yeah, do you know where Aniki and Onee-chan are?" He asked. Uh…I THINK, he asked? What did he even just say? What is a Aniki? A kind of monkey or something? And an Onee-chan? Yeah, never heard of it. "C-could you repeat that for me?"
He threw his head back to laugh a little, and smiled at me. "Aniki just means 'older brother', and Onee-chan means 'older sister'." He says, giving a gentle yet playful roll of his eyes. "Oh. Well, I just thought-" I sighed as I stepped back and opened the door, ushering him to come in. When he sat down on my couch, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed my kettle. Good thing I was preparing tea beforehand, or else this would be PRETTY awkward. "Well," I began, continuing the conversation me and Najakun had started on my porch. "I just thought that she was doing what she usually does- Stay home, and kill people- Well, the bad ones anyway," I quickly add in, making sure not to scare Najakun. "NO," He quickly interrupts, Voice radiating with irritation. "They've been gone for over a week now, Kai. Where could they have gone? I've checked- Well, tried to check, with everyone else, but they're not here either!" He exclaimed. I put the teapot down as I looked up at him, my expression soon becoming serious. "What are you saying, Najakun?" He stood up, and stared down at me with this certain Ire in his eye that I couldn't place, but could tell that this was very much serious. "I'm saying that Idoiko and Sajuku are missing."
IDOIKO'S POV:
By the time I got back to the hotel, and through the doors, I'm PRETTY SURE I WAS A stickman. "My," Shikito suddenly said from behind me. "You sure look thin. What happened?" He asked. I was about to answer him, when Sajuku cut in. "YEA! You look like a goddamn branch, Ido." I snorted at his poor humor, and roasted him into a stupor. Bars for days. "No cap, sherlock." He gasped as Shikito softly chuckled, and I patted both boys' shoulders. When I turned back to Sajuku, he was frowning down at his phone. The expression on his face was weird- like it was something between confusion and some sort of fear and hurt- Yeah, I couldn't really place it. Ah, he must be mad at me because I was rude to him. So, I walked up to him, and was about to ask if he was ok, until he just yanked my arm off to the side. When we were completely alone in a nearby hallway, he shoved the phone in my face, and my heart dropped.
SUEO'S POV:
Goddamnit. Why did she run away? All I was gonna do was… Actually, Yeah no. Good thing she ran away. I got up to my feet, and stuck my head out of the door of the hospital, only to see that the streets were empty. I turned around, but then turned back around. I thought I saw a shadowy figure standing next to one of the dumpsters in a nearby alleyway. I stuck my head out further to get a better look at whatever it was, but to no avail. So, with my damned curiosity in tow, I strutted toward the alleyway. It was eerily quiet- Like nobody was there, despite the moving figure next to the dumpster. Once I got within earshot of whomever was out there, The person stopped moving. "HEY!" I shouted once the figure began to sprint off into the distance. But, soon after, the small figure must've tripped over something, because they fell just at my feet. I looked down, and saw a small boy–nearly around seven or nine–covering his face while sobbing. His clothes were worn out rags, and his shoes were made of cardboard. He must be homeless.
'No cap, sherlock,'
I could hear Idoiko's voice loud and clear in my head. It sure sounded like something the idiot would say. I rolled my eyes. "Please don't hurt us…" The boy sobbed helplessly. I sighed. "Look, kid, I-" Wait, did he say us? "Us. What do you mean us," I pushed, knowing the kid would give up in do time. "M-m-my f-frien-...friend!" Oh, faster than I thought. Impressive. "Please d-don't hurt us," The boy repeated. How sad. *scoff*. "...What are you doing all alone out here." I ask, reaching in my coat pocket. "I was searching for food for my sister." I pulled ten ryo bills and opened the boy's hand to stuff them in. His eyes lit up at seeing the money, and something went off in my head- Like, a feeling I haven't felt before-
Well, no, I mean haven't felt since a long time ago… Since her death. Could it be me feeling Happiness? I'm not sure. "Go home. It's not safe out here." The boy nodded enthusiastically, and I stood up to turn around, but he grabbed my hand. "Wait! Nii-san," He pleaded. Nii-san… Nii-san. I like it… I like being Nii-san. I've never had a brother…
—-flashback—-
He slowly approached his father's desk, Doing his best to step around the blood, But it was difficult as it was almost everywhere. By the corner of his father's desk, He saw a pale hand with elegantly delicate fingers that were smeared in blood, The hand palm-up and showing deep cut wounds into it. "O-Okaa-san." He cried, Rushing towards her and slip-
—-flashback—-
No, not again… no- "Otouto," I answered. He smiled up at me, and that feeling came rushing back in, to the point where it made me feel a little nauseous. "Thank you," The boy said. And for the first time in my entire life, I smiled. I turned back around, expecting the boy to let my hand go- But he didn't. Actually, instead, he tightened his grip, and began to stand up to follow me. I sighed. This one was going to be a pain to let go. "Fine," I mumbled, leading the boy into the Hospital. He looked around curiously, gasping and running over to a sink.
"Wow," He gasped. "You guys must be filthy rich!" I tilted my head back and forth. I was a billionaire- Though I never used my money. I considered money to be…Mmm, useless- until…SHE, came into my life. The money left by my family… Such dirty hands like mine should not touch. My weaknesses…My sins- My betrayal's… My hands shall be forever cursed by the blood of them. "Nii-san?" The boy asked, suddenly tugging on my sleeve. I looked down at him. "What." He frowned, and pointed to the sink. "You have clean water. That's cool! Nobody in my country has that…" He said with a pout. I tilted my head in confusion. I was about to ask him where exactly he was from, until someone grabbed my shoulder. I didn't move. In fact, out of instinct, I grabbed the hand, and almost twisted it, until the voice frantically called, "Sueo-kyoju, you wanted to see him?" I turned around in confusion. Two guards- something in between. Redhead… Slanky- He stepped forward. He's a Redhead, He's slanky, He's familiar- He's Tendo.
IDOIKO'S POV:
My heart dropped. The color in my face disappeared. My teeth clenched. I snatched his phone, not excusing his grunt of disapproval with a smack to the head. This… This is the death of me, I swear. In fact, I could feel my breath hitch in the back of my throat, and my heart started to stutter. I wasn't breathing. My body started to shake, and I looked up at Sajuku. "Ane…" He said, grabbing my hand. "Ane… N-Nani Desu Ka?" He asked, And I scoffed at him. Why was he being so respectful? More formal- I'm just family. Family… My eyes shot back down to where Sajuku's phone still sat trembling in my hand- No, Not the phone, My hand was shaking. Constantly. My eyes flicked back down to the phone- Rocking like a boat in water. Constantly. I skimmed through the text- Again, and again. Constantly. "Onee-chan- "What?" "-Are you ok?" I flicked my eyes up at him through my lashes. "This… Who is it f-from?" He gently took his phone from my hands–which I let him–And tapped a few buttons. "Him," He said, handing the phone back to me.
'OF COURSE IT WAS HIM,' A familiar voice said in my head. "Yeah… We have to go. Now," I said, already pushing past Sajuku to get out of the empty hallway. "He said he wanted to talk to you," Sajuku said- Catching up to me rather quickly. "Who?" I ask. 'Who else?' I scoff. 'Why would you want to talk to me? What do you want?'...No answer. Good, I don't want to talk to him either. Once we got back to the lobby, Shikito walked up to me. "Are you okay, Tomodachi?" He asked. I smirked at him. "Tomodachi? More like, Shin'yu." He nodded. "I don't really know, but I have to go back to the hospital." Shikito stared in my eyes- A glossy coat of clouds soon filling them. His eyes were guarded- I don't know why. "Hai." I guess that was all he had to say. Okay, was all he said to me. How suspicious. He turned around- But I stopped him by grabbing his shoulder. I came up behind him, resting my chin on his shoulder so I could whisper in his ear. "Where's Kuroo?" I asked. His shoulders shook- a shiver. I smirked. Mmmhmm, I did that to him. He shrugged- the movement pushing my head off of his shoulder, and scurried up the stairs. I turned back around to Sajuku, hoping that he would know, until someone tapped my shoulder. "You were looking for me, Itoko?" He asked. "Yes. He found him- He's there with him, he- He's there- Alive," I spat out. At first I thought he didn't get what I was saying, until his brows shot up. "W…Were you going to ask me to co-". "Yes. Yes come." He smiled softly, and nodded. He looked down, and froze. He looked back up at me and sucked in air through his teeth. "Yes- My body, I am aware." He nodded- Biting his bottom lip. "But, are you sure-". "Yes." I answered, getting a little frustrated. He nodded again, Biting his lip harder. Red substances dripped from his lip and onto his chin, but he looked like he was contemplating something- Not paying any attention to the blood on his white shirt.
.
(Link to Kuroo's outfit…!)
"Kuroo," I started. He still stared absentmindedly at me. "Kuroo." Nothing. "KUROO," I yell. He didn't move- He merely blinked, eyes still glued to mine. "No," Kuroo suddenly said, eyes filling with rage. "What did you do?!" He exclaimed. He grabbed the collar of my button up and yanked it forward.
/images/I/61jG25RnHrL._AC_UX342_.jpg
(...W-well, SORT of what she was wearing… heh…B-Btw, people dress sort of formally in Tokyo for these sort of occasions, so that's why they wear formal clothes like this. Oh, and she's wearing different pants, but the same button up. I couldn't find a different picture with the same pants and shirt, but hey, I found something.)
"W-what are you asking me?" I ask, ripping myself out of his grasp. "You're body…" He started, staring down at me- past my eyes kind of down. I smirked. "Are you looking at my chest?" His body jerked. His hands fell limp at his sides. His teeth clenched. Oh my gosh, I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. He stepped forward a few steps, and tilted his head curiously while nodding to the side. "Do you want me to look at your chest?" Though it was a question, it kinda sounded like he was PRETTY serious. I jerked back as well. I brung a crimson red manicured hand to my chest, and gasped dramatically. "YoU pErV!" I smacked his arm, earning me a small yelp. He glared at me while rubbing his arm. "HEY! I was kidding… Hmph." He looked away with a pout. Wow. A grown man pouting. How conVINCing. "I'm not buyin' it," I shoot back. "Idoiko," Sajuku warned, and I scoffed. "Oh, fuck off!" He stared at me incredulously in dead silence, and I shuffled from one foot to the next. "S-sorry, I didn't mean to-" Sajuku walked past me without a word. "W-wait, SAJUKU! Y-you know I-I was kid-kidding, RIGHT!? WAIT!" He walked out of the Hotel without another word. 'AW shit!' 'Way to go, human' 'Aww, fuck you!' He didn't respond, although he mentally slapped me on my head. I turned back around to find a smirking Kuroo and Shikito, and I snarled at them. "What the hell do you think is so funny?" I spat. Kuroo waved Shikito off, said boy running up the stairs in a fit of laughter, and turned to look at me. "Nothing, Hahaoya." I scoff and turn on my heel. "Whatever." I turn and walk towards the exit, but make sure to keep an eye on those two. I mean, I've never seen Shikito act like this before. It's suspicious.
When I pulled up to the hospital, Kuroo gasped. "This place…" He bagan. "Tendo, he-" The car jerked forward. I looked down at my hands. The steering wheel turned right, and we almost went plummeting into the building, until Chijuku took hold of my body and steered the wheel back in the right direction. 'Watch out- you were thinking too much,' He warned. 'Thanks,' I sighed. 'Hmm, you owe me now.' 'pch,' I scoffed, and he just swatted at me. "What the hell was that, Itoko!?" Kuroo gasped in between labored breaths. I looked at him. If I didn't know any better, I would've thought he had shit his pants. "...My hands just slipped, that's all," I muttered. Kuroo scowled at me and got out of the car. After he got out he just stood there and stared at me before glowering like I was some sort of crazy person. "We could've died, but that's all." And slammed the door. Kuroo was never someone to get mad like that. He's usually known as a really calm, cool and collected person, but I guess I just pulled the wrong string. I quickly slipped out of my car and made sure to lock it before walking up to Kuroo, and grabbing his shoulder and pulling it back to get him to look at me. "...Don't touch m-"-"Kuroo, listen," I cut him off, looking into his hazel eyes with my pleading ones. "I wasn't focused, Okay!? I just happened to be overthinking at the moment, and I was worried, and…" I began to shake, my eyes glossing over with a coat of pink. "Idoiko, you're panicking!" He warned. I whipped my head around to see him reaching toward me, his hands desperately trying to console me from destroying the world. "You know what happened last time you had a panic attack…" he nodded to the building. I remember that day. Me, Sajuku, Kuroo, Sueo, Shikito, Kaiogane, shoyo, and Tsukishima were out shopping, when I suddenly slipped and knocked a little old lady over, and that's not even the bad thing- her cane flew out of her hand, and landed wherever the fuck it did, but all I know is that seconds later, the sky just erupted with lightning, and te ground began to shake, and before everyone knew it, Chijuku was tearing the whole damn mall apart. None of us will forget, and a lot of people are still mad at me for that. But, anyways, I took a few deep breaths to calm myself, and looked up to his hazel eyes expectantly. "What?" He asked. "Are you still mad at me?" I asked, hoping to clear up the problem from earlier. He smiled at me softly. "Of course not, Itoko Hahaoya." I smirk back at him softly, returning the gesture. "Hmm," I say as I turn to open the door to the hospital. Grip, twist, pull… no? Ok- grip, twist, pu- What the hell? "No…" I mutter, the realization dawning down on me. "NO!" I yanked at the door with labored breaths, ignoring the shouts of Kuroo telling me 'not to break the goddamn door.' "IDOIKO!" I stopped mid-yank. He yelled my name like he had just caught me stealing a million dollars from him, so I supposed he was angry. I turned around to see the surprisingly calm hazel eyes of Kuroo, and turned back around with a 'Hai, Hai' before violently shaking the hell out of the door until I made it brake. "Can you stop." A random voice asked. "Can you die!?" I yelled without thinking about it. I stilled. "Nii-san, that big scary lady seems bad." The voice of a male child pouted. I stiffened. "Yeah, Idoiko, you shouldn't be using big bad scary words like that in front of a child." The voice of Sueo quipped. I froze. "Yeah, I'm kinda with Sueo on this one, Idoiko…" Kuroo boaed. I fell. All the surprise and shock knocked off my own feet! Oh my! "Nii-san… Is she dead?" Sueo laughed lightheartedly. Wait, what? He laughed lightheartedly? Can you repeat that word? He? No, the other one. Laughed? No, idiot! Lightheartedly! Oh… 'Are you talking to yourself, brat?' My cheeks immediately flushed, and I spat at him mentally. 'S-shut up!' 'I would prefer not to.' '...fucker.' 'm,' Was all he replied with- In fact, he even walked away from me. Just like I said- fucker. "No, ototou, though I would much rather that to become a reality than this," I heard Sueo muse. They're both fuckers. Harumph. "Oh, what was that, petty boy?" I asked while dusting myself of any dirt before getting up and turning to them. I looked down at the kid, and my heart dropped. He… HE'S SO CUTE! "Oh…" I said shakily, My resolve crumbling before my eyes at the sight of a little brown haired boy clinging onto Sueo's pant leg. "I said- 'No, ototou, though I wo'-". "Shut the hell up and let me have 'em." I demanded as I bent down to the small boy's level, locking eyes with hazel easily. "You're cute- want candy or whatever kids like or some shit?" I asked, dumbfounded. The boy scrunched his face up at me before hiding behind Sueo, the fabric of his pants bunching up at the boy's fingertips. "Hahaoya, you must've forgotten the reason why we were here?" Kuroo asked boredly. "...They're all fuckers," I muttered to myself. "LANGUAGE," Kuroo yelled. "Yeah, yeah- of course, of course." I spat. First, Chijuku being an asshole- Then SUEO being an asshole, Hell- even that kids' an asshole. But, now my Itoko's an asshole too? Oh HELL nah. "Yeah, yeah- Sure." I got up and looked at Sueo. He had his hair in a manbun- goddamnit he was smokin' hot! "Why are you staring at me like that." He said. Well, he didn't ask it, so he said it, okay? "Who knows. Anyways," I began. "Sajuku got your message. You saw him, correct? Lead me to him," I said as I propped my hand onto my waist. "Slow down, Sonic," Sueo replied as he walked toward the door, the small boy soon following after. "But I was just going to get my keys from the car because visiting hours are over-" He said while sticking a key into the hole on the door. "-That's why the door was locked. He's waiting for us, so don't keep him waiting," He said while moving to open the door. "Okay, well I just have to go get my keys from my car," I answered sheepishly. Sueo choked on air- The motion shaking the small boy at his side. "What did you just say." He said. I almost laughed. "I need the keys from my car," I repeated coyly, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear in an attempt to keep my hands busy with something, while Sueo was too busy staring daggers at me to notice my slight shift in posture. "...You have a car." He asked breathlessly, stumbling over to me as his voice twisted and shifted into anger. "All this time, you had a fucking CAR!?" He yelled as he threw his hands up in an attempt to look as frustrated as he sounded. "LA-" I cut Kuroo off by putting my hand up to his face before turning back to Sueo and smirked at his dumbfounded expression. "Did you just ask…? Nevermind. But, Ya' know, when you're on an island you've never been on before and need a car, you buy one- Don't you?" I asked as I turned on my heel, leaving Sueo to stand there dumbfounded and sputtering. I made my way over to my new red Honda Accord, and fished my car keys out of my pocket to unlock it. Once I got the door open, I leaned over the seat to get the keys off of the driver's seat, but my arm didn't quite reach far enough. I tried to climb onto the seat, getting into a kneeling position, but still couldn't reach. "Idiot, Do you need help." I looked from in between my legs and spotted Sueo standing there, waiting for me to answer him. "Oh, yeah- thanks." He sighed in acknowledgement. I looked back up, about to get out of the car so Sueo could come in, until I froze when I felt him lean over me, nearly on top of me. I yelped as I felt his crotch digging into my lower back and tried to crawl out from underneath him until he fully laid on me, causing me to fall on the seat. "Move," He said dryly before leaning forward a little bit, and losing balance- causing him to pull his knees onto the seat in hopes to force himself to find the balance he needed. damn. Sueo had brought his knees up into the seat- meaning I was between them. I was between his knees. I was between his legs… I was between Sueo's Legs. "S-Sueo- Nngh!" Oh shit… Oh, shit… OH shit! I just moaned in front of Sueo! Hey, It's not my fault! He dropped his body onto mine and his erection pressed into my stomach! "...Excuse me?" D -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d -d-...DID HE-HE-he-he-he-HE JUST ASK A QUESTION!? WHAAAAAAAAAAAA…..!? "No way… Did you just ask a question?" He looked down at me weirdly- His face scrunched up, but also scowling while he… Smirked- at me? "I just never ask questions to YOU. I mean- why would you ask a question to someone who's too stupid to know the answers? But, you forced me to spend time with you so I learned to believe that you're not THAT stupid." …Should I feel confused right now? Because I'm confused right now. Should I feel honored or disrespected? It made me feel special, but…- "Could you stop staring at me like that?" Sueo pushed me out of the seat- effectively making me fall out of the car with a loud 'thud'. I turned around angrily and pushed him down on the seat, and began to climb over him to try and get my fucking keys! He kicked at my leg as I stepped on his chest to get over his body to my keys, but he pulled my leg, making me fall back and turn onto my stomach. "AH!" I exclaimed as I fell on his lap. I subconsciously wrapped my legs around his waist for support, and he held onto my waist to keep me from falling. Yep. I was sitting on Sueo's lap- he was holding my waist- my legs were wrapped around his waist. …This was a little sussy. "HEY! SUEO, YOU BETTER COME GET YOUR KID, BECAUSE I AAAAaaaaa….-" ….fucking hell. I knew I could feel the bile that comes up when some bad shit is about to happen coming! I whipped my head around to see Kuroo coming from around the corner, and forze. I could feel Sueo's hand still against me as well. A slow and steady smirk creeped up his cheeks as Sueo suddenly shoved me off his lap harshly, causing me to fall on my butt frantically. I get up and stomp back over to the building- not even caring to grab my keys anymore. 'Forget that hot ass bastard!' I yell to myself. 'Says the one who's literally crushing on him,' 'MMM! But I still called him hot!' '...m' 'I scoff at the bastard, but I should be scoffing at you.' 'HMPH!...I've been thinking, and-' "Idoiko! I knew you'd come back!" Tanaka suddenly shouted in front of me. I looked up from my dirtied shoes, and saw a happy-go-lucky Tanaka running towards me. I smirk upon seeing him. "Hey, 'Naka. Are we too late?" He playfully slapped my shoulder while laughing lightly. "You never are." I smirked as he fished out his keys to unlock the door to the building. I winced. It was so dark! How did Tanaka know which key it was!? "I think he's still up and awake," Tanaka said as he otherwise wordlessly sorted through the rows of lights on the wall. "AHA!" He exclaimed as he soon found the one he was looking for. As he pressed the button up, the whole floor illuminated with golden light. "Thank god," I sigh. Tanaka looked over to me- confused. "What?" He questioned. " mean- I thought the light was going to be white too… Just like everything else in this boring place," I complain. Tanaka laughed boisterously before patting my back real hard, making me sputter a few times. "Well- not everything that goes on in this place is boring!" He yelled with his smooth but booming voice. "...No wonder everybody in this place is crazy," I said to myself rather than anybody else. "Tanaka- can he move?" Tanaka stopped abruptly. He turned to me with an annoyed look on his face as he stared into my green eyes. "You need to stop worrying so damn much!" He said rather loudly. Wow- I've never heard Tanaka nor seen him mad befor- TSUYOKU, NARERU, RIYUU WO shitA. BOKU WO, SURETE, SUSUMEEEEEEE! DOU SHATTE! KUSENAI YUME M-
"Geez- Hel-"
"WHAT THE HELL, IDOIKO- WHERE'S MA BROTHER!?"
The blood drained from my face as I stopped walking abruptly. Is that… Atsumu?
