The second chapter for Mekakucity Collection. I will be trying to update at least one per week on Tuesdays, but please forgive me if I don't make it into the deadline by any chance.
Taking place after all the members have joined the gang. Momo and Hibiya are sent on a special mission by Kido.
Characters: Kisaragi Momo , Amamiya Hibiya
I'm almost there, just gotta pull through for a little longer. To be honest even if the leader and the others have been helping me control this strange power little by little, I still feel really nervous about going outside.
I held my hood tightly and looked to the sides before going into that old abandoned alley. That number stood before me, 107, even if everyone was a little crazy our hideout was the most relaxing place for me now.
I knocked on the door twice, even though I knew I could just go inside it would be a rude thing to do just like that.
"Yo Kisaragi, you have a nice timing." The blonde boy stared at me with a smirk, as usual Kano must be up to no good.
"Is something going on?" I asked a little curious as I walked inside.
"Your brother and Konoha are having an intense staring contest, the deal is that if Shintaro loses he will be banned from his computer for two days, and will be forced to join Konoha's baseball team." Kido explained as she signaled at the two contestants sitting across each other on wooden chairs.
"Ehhh?! He is going to die!" There was no way that onii-chan could win, after all Konoha was a little scary, and sometimes he doesn't even seem human.
I walked to the spot where the contest was taking place, the others seemed to be there as well curiously witnessing as my brother clearly started to internally fall apart.
"Come on Shintaro, you can do this, you can do this." The young boy clenched his fists as he continued to sweat uncontrollably.
"You are so weird master, talking to yourself like that." Ene said from Shintaro's phone which was being held by Hibiya.
"If it serves as a consolation," Hibiya placed his hand on Shintaro's shoulder. "I never believed you could do it, so it's okay if you give up."
"W-Why is everyone teaming up against me?! This is all Ene's fault again.." He whispered under his breath, trying to gather all his strength into keeping his eyes open.
"He looks really pale, is he going to be okay?!" Mary asked extremely concerned.
"Let's believe in Shintaro, he'll be fine!" Seto reassured her in a relaxed tone.
Konoha on the other hand looked really calmed, it didn't seem like he was even trying. Things like this is what always make me wonder if he's even human.
"I-I must fight.." I could hear my brother whisper but the outcome was just as expected. His body was weak so he ended up passing out and falling into the floor just next to Mary who screamed startled.
"Is he dead?" Konoha tilted his head whole poking Shintaro repeatedly. H-His reaction is way too calm for the kind of question he is asking!
"He is going to be fine." Seto smiled while lifting him up, "Let's just let him rest a little."
"I-I'll prepare some tea to help!" Mary then rushed into the kitchen.
It was really just another day here at the Mekakushi-dan.
"Little sister! You are here!" Ene said cheerfully as she caught a glance of me, everyone had been really distracted so no one had noticed me until now. Something like this feels a little ironic in a way.
"Oh great, it's the big boob monster." The little boy sighed as he stared at me with an annoyed expression. You could say this little brat was my mortal enemy, I swear someday, I'll just-
"Who are you calling monster? You albino rat!" I glared right back at him.
"A-Albino?! Is it because my vest is white?!"
"Eh? My hair is white too, am I albino Konoha?"
Both of them stared at me, I swear sometimes these two are the most difficult ones to deal with.
"Oi, what did I say about fighting?" Kido was standing between us all out of sudden.
"I'm sorry leader." Hibiya and I replied at the same time, it really bothered me how synced we sounded.
"How about sending you two in a special mission so you learn to get along~?" Kano suggested. I think now I know why leader loves to hit him so much. I really wanted to do that right now.
"I think you thought of something good for once Kano," Kido nodded.
N-No, she wasn't serious right? Why leader, why would you do this to me?!
"Mekakushi-dan member 5 Kisaragi Momo, and member 8 Amamiya Hibiya. You two are to run some errands and do all the shopping for the gang today." Kido crossed her arms and gave the order.
"Wait!" "B-But!" Both of us tried to object but we were ignored.
"Mission Start." The leader gave the order, and her orders were absolute. After all she could be really scary if she wanted to so we had to listen.
And so, here I am now. In the middle of the city with this brat.
"Hmp." He looked away upset.
"It's not like I want to be here either, you know." I sighed, after all it wasn't only him, the heat out here was extremely annoying as well.
He didn't reply, he was just ignoring me now. Getting too much attention is a hassle, but being ignored like this really made me upset as well.
The next thing I could notice was how he was slowly walking towards me, this was strange. What as he up to? He slowly stretched out his arm and pulled away my hoodie. Damn it. It only took a second or less before I was completely rounded by people all going crazy about me.
"See you later old hag!" He started to run away, leaving me stuck here.
"Damn you! Just you wait!" I yelled at him, not caring what people would think or say. After all they pay attention me because of my status as idol but never listen to anything I say or care about how I feel.
Ahh, being rounded by these many people was also making it hard to breathe properly. At any rate I had to escape right now!
"Hang in there little sister!" A voice came from inside my pocket. Right, I had completely forgotten about Ene. She had been in there the whole time, I felt a little bad for ignoring her like that.
An incredibly loud alarm then resounded from inside my brother's phone. I quickly covered my ears, this sound was really painful but it gave me an opening to escape.
I ran as fast as I could and put on my hoodie again. Running out of breath, I managed to hide by an old playground. I'm really going to make that kid suffer when I find him.
"T-Thanks Ene." I whispered almost running out of breath.
"No problem little sister! But wow, you sure are popular!"
"I-I guess.." I smiled a little nervous, going out on this mission was the worst idea ever.
"So what are you going to do now little sister?" Ene stared at me, it felt a little strange but I had already got used to talking with her.
"There is a little favor I want to ask from you." A small grin was formed on my face, I think I know of a way to strike back.
"Oh?"
After carrying out my plan with Ene, I went back into the city to look for our destination, the supermarket.
"Boo!" The little brat suddenly walked in front of me.
I was startled and fell back into the ground, hitting it real hard.
"See? I already finished the errand!" He held up a large amount of bags. "It looks like the boob monster wasn't needed after all."
"If you are done let's just go back already." I got back up and cracked my fingers. Calm down Momo, you can't kill him, not yet.
"Maybe Momo shouldn't even be part of the gang, I should be member 5 instead, yep!" He continued to ramble with things that angered me as he carelessly walked through the street.
Isn't he being too careless? Walking across without even looking to the sides. Somehow this felt wrong, something felt really wrong.
It all happened faster that I could imagine.
Hibiya completely froze on the spot at the sight of a large truck charging right into his direction. I hated him, I wanted to get back to him for everything, but I couldn't just stand here and watch.
"Don't just stand there you idiot!" I charged at him from the side and jumped into his direction. It's not something I had ever thought I was capable of doing, I had thrown myself to the other side of the street while dragging him along. The shopping bags flew into the air as we slided through the solid pavement, the truck barely missed us.
"Little sister! Little kid! Are you both okay?!" I could hear Ene's voice from inside my pocket. Thank goodness, I was worried that the phone could slip out of my pocket and get caught up into the accident as well. My legs really hurt from the impact against the floor but I was okay.
"I-I.." I could feel the little boy shaking inside my arms. Somehow it didn't even feel like the same person that had been angering me just some minutes ago.
"Are you okay?" I asked concerned, his face was really pale and the shaking wouldn't stop.
"T-Thanks." He pushed away my arms and slowly stood up.
"Geez, you have to be more careful." I sighed as I slowly started to get up, my legs really hurt a lot after all so it was a little difficult.
"…" There was no response.
"Anyway, let's go do the shopping again. Everything in the bags got all squished."
"Hmp." He nodded and looked away. I wish he was a little more thankful after what just happened, but I guess that stopping the insults was his way to do so.
We continued to walk towards the supermarket, I was surprised, he slowly grabbed my hand and held it tightly. I guess he must still be feeling really scared after going through that.
"Stupid old hag." He whispered under his breath. He was really a brat after all.
As we moved onward, all the screens around the city lit up with an announcement. Uh-oh, I had totally forgotten about the plan I had made with Ene before.
A video then started to play on the screen, it was a video I had made as part of my plan. If it was me it'd definitely get everyone's attention. In the video I announced how, Hibiya Amamiya, was now my boyfriend and then showed a picture of him.
Ene being the prankster she is, agreed to help me edit the video and upload it.
Because of this, everyone's attention would somehow be drawn to Hibiya as well, and just as I thought, it worked.
"There he is!" Someone yelled pointing at the little boy who froze in the spot, shocked. I didn't think it twice, I ran for it before anyone would see me.
From the distance, I watched how a large amount of people all made a circle, around Hibiya, asking him questions and almost treating him like an idol.
Oh well, maybe this wasn't so bad after all. I'll see you after I'm done with the errands Hibiya, good luck!
