SUEO'S POV:
I put my phone back into my pocket and held out my hand for Sako to take. "Come on Sako, wanna go to the orphanage?" His eyes widened and he broke away from me harshly. "...Tooooooo go get Kiroko for some ice cream!" He smiled and grabbed my hand. "What flavor?" I whistled out of my teeth. "Uhh…- vaaaaaannniiillaaaa?" I asked hesitantly, pulling the keys out of my pocket. He tsked and shook his head. "Kiroko hates vanilla. She'll eat chocolate." I scoffed and opened the passenger door for him. He climbed in slowly. "What about you?" He looked at me for a second before closing his eyes and shrugging. "I'll eat it if she will. And she will." Oh… so is Kiroko his older sister? I hummed and walked around the car, and climbed into the driver's seat while plugging in my seatbelt. "So is it a "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours?"" He shrugged and put on his own seatbelt. "You could think of it that way. I Just do everything she does to show her that I'm here for 'er." I looked at him for a second before blinking and starting the ignition. This kid has some brain, I'll give him that. But there's this sinking feeling in my heart when I speak to him. Even though it might not be in the same way that I have, I know this kid's lost his childhood- no, it was stolen from him. No. He's not like me, who had caused the death of his parents from just being born. I swore to never love anyone else ever again. I won't go back on that promise. …Anyways- He leaned back in his seat. "I kinda feel like you're up to something." I scoffed- my body slightly jerking from the motion. I looked at him briefly, before returning my eyes to the road. He didn't look up at me- in fact, he wasn't even looking to begin with. I sighed and drummed my fingers along the wheel at a red light. "What?" He didn't answer right away. "... Something." "Well do you think it's necessarily bad?" He scoffed. "I don't think anything you do is bad." *sigh* He sure has a lot to learn about me then. "What did you say the street was called again?" "Staku." "M." We sat in a … S-somewhat comfortable silence as I pulled up and onto the highway. Mind you, he's sitting in the passenger seat. Now what I mean by somewhat comfortable silence, I mean it was comfortable besides the clicking sound whatever he was playing with was making. I continued to say nothing as Sako went 'click' again. "..Are you clicking your tongue?" "No." 'Click' Oh my- 'click, clack, click' "Are you… knicking your teeth?" "No." What is he doing? I sighed and payed no attention the next time Sako made that noise gain. I Can take it- right? "Interesting…" 'click' I would've looked at him, but- I-I'm on a literal highway- I can't just do that. But whatever was so interesting, I could tell. Because he was clickity click clickin away. 'Click' Okay, just don't say anything. 'Click, clack, click' I sighed and drummed my fingers along the brim of the wheel. Okay, I can take it- I can- 'click.' Okay that's i- 'click' "SAKO." I felt the car jerk as he flinched. Whatever he was doing, stopped. "Stop, please." "...O-Okay…" I sighed and pushed on the pedal as the lighed turned green. Finally. 'CLIIIIIIIICK' I jerked back and squinted as wind suddenly blasted onto my face. I tapped my hand around until I found the window button, and pushed down on it hurriedly. "Sako,- that is the window button." "ohh…" I pulled onto Staku street, turning my head away from the corner to avoid showing Sako a side of me he probably never wants to see. That corner… I remember that day that the back of my hand, unfortunately.
—-flashback—-
Sueo screamed at the top of his lungs. Never in a million years did he think that Iudane would've gotten herself caught up in this crap! "ONEE-CHAN! HOW COULD YOU!?" Iudane grunted as she tightened her grip on Sueo's torso and kept on grunting. "I'll tell you once– no, if –we make it out alive. Just, no matter what Sueo- Just know that I'll always love you." Sueo choked on his sob as Iudane suddenly tripped and fell. Sueo went flying forward from the impact, his head crashing into a boulder. He screamed in agony as he grabbed his spinning head. Sueo had always had a forehead made of damn metal, but that still hurt, goddamnit! Suddenly- the building he had crashed into began to crumble right before his eyes. "S-Sueo…" Sueo's panicked eyes sprung up to meet Iudane's for the first time today. He gasped and held back his bile as he saw Iudane's bloody nose, bloody forehead, and even her bloody hands and arms had left handprints on his torso from where she had held him. "NEE-CHAN!" Sueo scrambled on his hands and knees over to his older sister. His hands hovered over her body shakily as if he wasn't sure whether he should touch her or not. "N-nee-sa-" "SUEO, GO! GO!" His eyebrows quivered as he contemplated if he had heard that right. "Wh-" "I can hear them coming. Hide!" As soon as she said the last word, as if on cue- a group of deadly looking people soon rounded the corner- taking Sueo by surprise because he did not expect that to happen. "Nee-san… t-the people-" "Sueo, look. You have to get out of here. Now." Sueo began to sob as his eyes roamed uncontrollably as he shifted his hands all over her body. "Nee-chan! We can get out of here!" "RUN!" "NE-

The steering wheel cracked under my fingertips as I stared at the poorly repaired cracks in the building I hit my head on so long ago. "... Nii-san?" I shook my head. "I'm fine. This it?" I pointed to a small looking brown house down the street. "Unfortunately." ..I'll take that as a yes. Now that I think about it- he has better grammar then Idoiko does, and he's… "How old are you?" He shifted in his seat uncomfortably. "...7." Makes sense. "Why?" "Nothing." I gripped the wheel to begin driving again, but I was only met with a piece of it falling onto my lap. Oops. "Come on. Let's walk the rest of the way." He eagerly stepped out of the car and waited for me to take the keys out to clench his fists around my pants. "What are you up to Nii-san?" There was silence as I looked behind me to see that his head was pointed towards the ground, his fists so instinctively tightening around my pants. "If you wanted to put an end to whatever you think they're doing to us, you shouldn't bother to worry. …It's none of your business." I don't know how he intended that to be taken, but.. I took that as a slap to the face! I began to walk faster as we neared the orphanage. They've definitely succeded in brainwashing this kid. I mean- what 7 year old boy basically tells a 29 year old man to fuck off!? Ok, calm down. Oh lord, please have mercy. Let's just say it looked better from far away. As I took the first step on the stairs, I could tell that it was barely able to hold my weight. Gosh this is horrible. As I quickly made it up the stairs, I almost swung open that damned door, until Sako tugged me back. "Wait Nii-san!" I turned around to see him grasping my pants urgently. "You have to wear a mask! I don't want you getting sick!" …wait- sick? "What do you mean sick?" He gulped and let go of me. "Everyone besides the masters are sick, and… and I don't want you catching the disease." I blinked. No fucking way. I'm not waiting another second. I snatched a mask from out of my pocket- yes, I have a mask in my pocket, -and knocked on the door. I… I think I'm not doing that much of a good job at retaining my anger… "Nii-san? What if-... what if you get sick? haha I mean- you wouldn't want to get sick, so- how about we just turrnnnn arounnnd, an-" "Hello?" The door opened to reveal a tall man with a medical mask on. He had olive green-ish short hair, and sweatpants on. That's all. No shirt, no jacket- just a pair of grey sweatpants. I gaped at the man with wide eyes. Sako's hands left my pants and I turned around to see him bowing profusely. " ! I-I SWEAR I-" "Save it, boy." He said in a low growl to Sako. He then turned back to me and put on the most dazzling smile I have ever seen. The most dazzling, fake, smile I have ever seen. "Hello sir, how may I help you?" …I wanna slap this- you know what, never mind. I had to take a few seconds to contemplate what to say. I mean- what would Idoiko say? Woah, woah, woah- where did that horrid thought come from? ….Wait- No, I might actually be onto something here. Usually, (unless she's mad,) she always comes off as happy… sort of… i-in a sense. And I, on the other hand- am… well- …m- stern. He's more likely to let in a 'chill' person, over a 'stern' person. Ok, what would Idoiko do… "Uhh- Hi! I am a… h-health inspector! I saw this kid and… and he told me this was where he lived! So, I just wanna check in on you guys…!" Oh come on, Sueo! Idoiko isn't that stupid. The man eyed me suspiciously, before walking back in and closing the door. Wow Sueo, great job. You definitely covinc- there was a loud bang that emanated from inside, before the door opened again. I looked down to Sako. He seemed to have heard the same thing, and grabbed onto my pants. The man cleared his throat. "...What caused the idea of you having to come and check on us?" Uh- "...M-my boss told me?" He cocked his head and crossed his arms. "What's the name." Oh, I'm done for. This is the last straw- …What's the name of that one nice grey haired janitor at Haigogatu U? …Oh! Sugawara! Though I can't figure out his last- "Sir, if you're going to waste my time, I-" "Sugawara!" The man's brows lifted and a wide smile took over his face. He immediately grabbed my hand and began to shake it wildly. "Oh my gosh sir, what a surprise! I didn't know you were a Social worker! P-please, come in, come in!" Wait-…what has Sugawara been hiding from us?
IDOIKO'S POV:
I ran to the bathroom in tears. My own cousin… Tendo- As soon as I made it into the bathroom and closed the door, I collapsed onto the floor and began to sob. How could this have happened to me!? Why god, why… I pulled out my phone to ask where that bitch Sueo was. How could he leave at such a crucial moment for me?! But, as soon as I unlocked my phone, I saw a text from him.
Sueo: I'm not gonna be there for a while. Business to take care of.
You little- UEGH! THIS IS ALL SO UNFAIR! Hoo… whoo… ff.. F.. F- woah, woah- calm down, calm down. You don't want to kill him, Idoiko. Just- calm down. Whooooo… okay. Well, at least he told me, but- still! He knows how important this is to me! I can't believe him… He… he's so… careless! Chikusho! He's so… selfish, and mean! And he's… hot- he's so hot, and cute- he's also ripped- 'Chijuku…' …He didn't answer. 'Come on Chi', this is no time to fuck around.' …Nothing. I slumped over on the floor. 'Poor human…' 'Chi?' 'Go to sleep.' Don't mind if I do…
When I got there, I wasn't in Chijuku's garden like usual. This time, I was in a hall… it seemed to be a long hall, one with no end. Hello…? Haiko-san? … There was no answer. Huh. He must not- Took you long enough. AH! I jerked around to face Chijuku. YOU SCARED ME, USERO! Hello to you too. Walk with me, I want to talk to you. Well I kinda have no choice... Chijuku grabbed my hand and began to walk down the hallway quickly. Oh! Uh- this is awkward! I know you're wondering where we are. This is the hall of present-tense, past-tense, and future-tense. I wanted to talk to you, but first I want to show you something, Present-tense, past-tense, and what now?! Now that is some voodoo shit. He gripped my hand tighter and pulled me along. After a few steps, he stopped before a random spot in the wall. Haiko-san, what is a- He let go of my hand and lifted the end of his robe. Oh, I didn't even notice he was wearing something different than his red Hakama. He seemed to be wearing a white Hakama top with green embroidery on the seams, and a green and red checkered pattern on the right, while the other side was plain white. Then he wore a long Hakama skirt that was black with a strip of white at the bottom, and a red obi with yellow details. No, gold details, and a golden chain. He also wore a black shaw with icy blue shading at the bottom. Under his Hakama top, was a simple grey long-sleeve, and long grey socks and black ankle boots. damn… alright Chijuku- I see you, I see you! As I was about to look him in the face to compliment him on his outfit, he waved his hand over the bare spot in the wall. Suddenly, a picture frame appeared on the wall, and a play and pause button appeared inside of it. He turned to me and gestured to the screen. Go ahead. Play it. I slowly reached toward the picture frame to press play, and surprisingly- it felt like a regular screen! When I pressed the glass, the picture morphed into a video of an old woman sitting at what seemed to be a desk, writing on a scroll. I looked at Chijuku. Haiko-san, who's this? He waved his hand over the wall adjacent to the frame. Soon, many different hiragana letters appeared on the wall, before they all jumbled together to form… an article thingy? Why do I need to see- Read it. But why- Just read it. But I'm- READ! I'M NOT SURE HOW READING WOULD HELP ME! He grabbed my head, and turned it in the direction of the article. Read. It. …Fine… I sighed and took my first actual look at the article. My eyes actually widened at what I read.
SAGFUTSU RIKO
Hello, my given name is Sagfutsu Riko. I am the first Riko to ever live, and
Have already given birth. I Have faced many ups and downs in my life, and
Many hardships. But no matter what happens, I always stay strong to
Keep my name respected, and my children to come. Later this year, I have
Found out that I have been cursed with a demon. We did not get along
At first, but soon, the demon took hold of me, because I have let
My emotions bottle up inside of me, and all that anger and pain and loss,
Created Kijuku- the water demon. Because I have been blessed with the water
Nindayoon, my water levels are super high. The truth is, Kijuku is technically the
Water inside of my body. But the downside, is that every time I have bottled up
Anger or emotion, the gontu would swirl with my water nindayoon, causing it
To collide. Since Kijuku is my water, and the gontu is in the water, he is able
To control me. Since I have three children- Godenai Riko, Sutare Riko, and tokane
Riko, I have been trying to warn them of my mistakes. For one- so they don't
Make the same, and two- so they are cautious of me. But Kijuku has been
Ruining every chance I try to get with my children. Usually when I'm being controlled,
I'm unconscious. Earlier this morning, I woke up to my eldest son, lying on the floor- dead.
Because of Kujuku, Godenai is dead. My other two children have so much anger stored
Inside of them, I fear two new demons are coming. So for anyone who might be making the same
Mistakes as me and my children, please be aware of what you are doing to yourself. And the entire world. Thank you.
- Sagfutsu Riko
…Wow… I-I'm glad I read that… Haiko-san… is that how you were… made?- … no… But it- Just sit down. I want to show you what I called you here for. He grabbed my hands and opened his mouth. …Uhh- Spit in my mouth. …eu- what? What? Why don't you jus- Trust me. Just spit. This is… not how he usually shows me things. Usually, he'll… Merge our faces, to collect my blood and spit in his mouth, so he can mix his cells with my blood which has my cells in it, then rub it on my hands so he can show me what he's seeing. But now, he just… he just wants me to spit? M… Sometimes it feels like you're talking to someone who's not there, but anyways hurry up. I shook my head and focused all my tongue blood to my mouth. I kinda have unlimited blood, don't worry about it. Anyways. I collected more… saliva- and spit in his mouth. He stared at the trail of saliva between our lips, and pushed me away. Let's just… do what we have to do. Give me your hands. Wait.. it- it kinda looked like he was trying to prevent something… to stop something from happening, or to hold himself… you know what, nevermind. I reached toward his hands as he grabbed them and stuck his fingers in his mouth. As he pulled them out and began to rub them onto my hands, I couldn't help but realize that his eyes weren't their usual violet purple. And no, it wasn't his Haigogatu mask. Haiko-san, what happened to your eyes? I'm surprised you haven't noticed. What does he mea- My eyes change depending on my mood. Well… what are you feeling now? …None of your business. Before I could yell at that… bastard, the image of Sueo and that cutie patudie standing in front of a brown door appeared in my mind. Then that kid's voice came in. "...just turrnnnn arounnnd, an-" "Hello?" The door opened to reveal a tall man with a medical mask hanging on his chin. He had olive green-ish short hair, and sweatpants on. damn, where were they? I wanna go get a slice of that. I mean- he had no shirt on. Sueo's more-irritated-than-usual-expression, yes I guess he was already extra pissed off, changed into a surprised one. Is… is Sueo… is Sueo eyeing that man!? You know what? Never mind, that man is the most ugliest thing on earth. Bitch is uglier than Alfalfa. Skin looks dryer than my chapped ass lips. M-m. Let's just call the little boy… mm… he looks like a Sakako. Yeah, Sakako. What? I never got his name. I only knew him as 'Otouto' from Sueo. Sueo looked at Sakako after he began to bow profusely. " ! I-I SWEAR I-" "Save it, boy." The man- let's just call him uglyjima, since Sakako called him Ushijuma. Uglyjima snarled at Sakako. He then turned to Sueo- you know what? I wanna give them all nicknames. Okay, Uglyjima already has one… Sakako's is… Sakako's is.. Brownie, because of his hair. And Sueo's is… oh, this is easy. His will be blueberry- you know, because of his h- focus, kohai. …Kohai? Since when- focus. Ahh, right… I zoned back into my head to see the man- Uglyjima -, walking into the house. I flinched when Chijuku grabbed both sides of my head. Soon, my vision switched to Uglyjima's as he closed the door behind him. I then saw him point to the back door, and a bunch of sick-looking kids scrambled in a fit of coughs to get out of the back. Uglyjima walked up and slammed the door, before scurrying back to the front and going back outside. He let go of my hands, and the images left my head. I opened my eyes and mouth in shock. Dwat-t- That was Kusaiba official orphanage- OFFICIAL!? -and that was that idiot human Hashiro and Sako Su-yin goin- attempting to pick up his sister- Kiroko Su-yin. …I was… I was damn close! I said he looked like a Sakako, and his name is Sako! Not bad, detective Riko! Ki ni shinai de, Oh, ok. I see what's going on here. You think this is funny? I'm leaving. I stood up and began to walk down the hallway, until I turned back around with a mad blush. Haiko had his arms crossed with an obvious look on his face. You wanna tell me why you're all the way down there? No. Get me out of here. No. Why? I have more plans. I don't fucking care about your plans, send me back! No thanks. UGH! He grabbed the sides of my head, and brought it towards him. For a second… I- like, I thought he was gonna k-kiss me! My heart was like- Yo, peace out my fucker! I swear my lips after this will be like–as always–eug, gross! But surprisingly, He touched our foreheads together, and I was surrounded by darkness. …What the fu- What is this shit? It's called blindness. The fuck!? WHY AM I BLIND!? I need to test your senses. Test my- stop fucking around, Haiko. Give me my eyesight back! Suddenly I was knocked off of my feet, and onto my back. I groaned in agony. When one of your senses is taken away from you, your other senses should be stronger to cover for the one you lost. Since your eyesight is being taken away from you, you should rely on sound and touch. You were not doing that. Stand up. Why that lit- I mean big- Ugh! I'll show him sound and touch! I stood up and stood still. Again, I was knocked off my feet, but this time, I hit my head on the floor. Just as I thought. You need more training. Let's try again, so stand up. Wait, Haiko- I think I hit my head… i-it's bleeding… Your head isn't bleeding, you can't even see. Stop fooling around and stand up. N-no, Haiko- I'm serious… I couldn't catch what he had said next because I blacked out, and opened my eyes to see the real world. "HUUH!" I gasped. 'You idiot mortal. Why did you not tell me you hit your head, and it was bleeding?' '... Just shut the fuck up, Chijuku.' I began to hear chatter all around me as I zoned back in. "Oh my, she's awake, She's awake!" "Oh, she woke up!" "Look! She stopped muttering, she must be awake!" I rubbed my head as I sat up. Uh- woah. As I blinked a couple of times, and looked around- I saw the faces of relieved nurses and doctors looking down at me. "Thank goodness, ma'am- we though you were dead!" Ok- who the fuck- 'why the hell didn't you tell me about this?' 'I did not care. This is your problem, human. You should be able to tell. This is why I train idiots like you for things like this.' '...Fakku o anata,' One nurse lady with chin-length blonde hair tapped my shoulder. "Have you escaped your room? What room are you in? I could escort yo-" "NO, NO! YOU HAVE IT ALL WRONG, LADY! I-I'm not in-in here, I'm just here to see my cousin!" The nurse looked to the brown skinned lady next to her. She nodded her head. "Ok ma'am- enough playing around, I think it's time you-" "I'M NOT MESSING AROUND, I SWEAR!" The lady looked back to the other lady who whispered something to her. She turned back to me and slowly grabbed my arm. "Ok ma'm, just cooperate with us here~" "Yeah, we're not going to hurt yo-" "YOU BETTER NOT HURT ME!" "Oh poor thing, We have ya'!" "Just lift your leg a little, and-" "I'M SANE, I'M TELLING YOU!" 'This is very interesting to watch…' "HELP ME, YOU DEMON!" "Oh look now she's hallucinating~ What a strangled soul…" "MY SOUL ISN'T STRANGLED, PUT ME DOWN!" They picked me up, and carried me out of the bathroom door. Not too far away, I saw Konoakichi talking to Tanaka. "SAKE, TANAKA- HELP! THEY THINK I'M CRAZY!" Tanaka's head nearly snapped as he turned to me. "IDOIKO!? WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR HOURS!" He and Sake ran towards me. "Lady's, this is an off. False recognition." My brows nighted as they put me down. "Tanaka, you sound like a robot." He sighed and laughed awkwardly while scratching the back of his head. "Yeah, well- This is, unfortunately, a mental institution. Things like this happen often, so we have to say specific things as signals, warnings, and signs. By the way lady's, call off." "Yes sir." …Is this the military? "Are you a commandant? Commander? You sound like… like someones boss!" "Well technically, I-" "TANAKA! COME QUICK! THAT CHURRO KID'S AWAKE!" Tanaka rolled his eyes as he jogged into the infirmary. "Okay, but once again- It's Kuroo! Not churro!" I scoffed and shook my head as he made it inside. "Feeling better?" Sake asked, patting my shoulder. I turned to him with a frown. "As much as I was able to in- like- 4 hours." He nodded at my face. "Well… It looks like someone got some good nap time." I blushed and pushed his shoulder back. "You look just as bad, Sake Konoakichi. I mean- look at your bed-head!" He gasped and ran his hands through his rarely ever messy hair. "I-I DO NOT! I-IT'S JUST… O-OUT OF STYLE!" "Oh yeah? And why is that?" He scratched at his clean chin and looked away. "I was… busy with other stuff this morning before work." Wait- …woh. "Sake, it's-" I pulled out my phone to check the time. I clicked my tongue disapprovingly. "-9:45… PM. You were here since one in the morning- as I was told." He nodded. "Well, as Tanaka said- this is, unfortunately, a mental institution. Our patients need us every point-and-time they can have us. That's why I work that long." Well when he put it like that… It makes me feel horribly bad for the patients here at Tokyo Metropolitan Matsuzawa Hospital. Well- I've already been feeling really really really bad for them, but now I just feel… broken. Those 18 words actually made me think about how… privileged I am to be… sane! When I was yelling at those nurses about being sane, I wasn't really thinking about 'hmm- what if one of the patients heard me, and was like- "*scoff,* must feel nice to have your own life. I sure wish I could be sane again."' You know- and then they start to do that thing where they fall asleep out of the blue because of the meds? …..D-damn, this must really fucking suck for them- "B-but don't sweat it, Riko-kyoju. Hey- you said it was 9:45- correct?" I nodded. "Just in time. Do you want to go watch Tendo work-out?" Tendo work-ou- "YES!" Sake laughed and grabbed my hand. "Come on." He pulled me out of the hallway, and into a small janitor-looking-closet. "What I-" "Shh. look," He pointed behind me. I turned around to see a window. "Look behind the blinds," Sake said behind me, and I pulled back the curtains to see Tendo on one of those bench thingies you lift dumbells on. I gasped. "Woahhh…" Sake chuckled and grabbed my shoulders. "Interesting, huh?" I couldn't answer as Tendo began to get up. "Aww, he must be done." ….Well shit! He was actually getting up to bring more of those circle weight thingies! …O-oh, he's bringing two at a time… Now that his shirt is off the abs that were invisible before flexed wildly. Actually, I- wait! don't those say… I squinted. …34 pounds!? "Those are 34 pounds, and he's carrying two at a time in each hand… that's… 136 pounds!" "Shshsussshhh! Someone will hear!" His head rested on my shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my mouth. "And if you really don't keep quiet, someone will hear all of the noises you'll make." Wait- wha- "What do you-" TSUYOKU, NARERU, RIYUU WO shitA. BOKU WO- "Hell-"
"Uhh- Sajuku and Tsukishima just fought, and Tsukishima's still passed out while Shikito and Shoyo went for a walk with Sajuku to calm him down."
…Wait- did he say Tsukishima and Sajuku fought!?…Well- …..I-I don't even know what to say, like- I'm not entitled, but… "Well- who won?" Everything on Asahi's end of the phone went silent besides the constant soft rhythm of some water splashing near him, and his breathing.
"...Well, Sajuku-"
"Oh thank god I raised him right-" I grasped my chest as I suddenly began to release a breath I was unaware of holding. Whoo, I thought all the hand to hand combat I taught him went to waste! "Oh lord, thank God- thank you Jesus, oh Kam-" Wait a second. I've been ignoring my senses this whole time. He said Sajuku and Tsukishima.. Faught. …Sajuku fought Tsukishima! Oh my gosh… HE PUT HIS HANDS ON MY BROTHER! "TSUKISHIMA PUT HIS HANDS ON SAJUKU!?" Sake choked on air. "TSUKISHIMA PUT HIS HANDS ON RICO-KUN!?"
"Is that Sake? Hi Nii-san!"
"Is that Asahi? Hey br-" "NONEOFTHATMATTERSRIGHTNOW. WHERE IS THAT BIG-HEADED, FOUR EYED, PERVERTED BLONDIE!?"
"...Uh- like I said, he's knocked out."
Well d- I didn't think Sajuku would pay that much attention to my lessons. "Oh. Sajuku knocked him out?"
"Well, no- Bokuto knocked both of them out to keep them from fighting. It's just- Sajuku woke up first."
"Oh, well good job mr. Heart Form!"
"You know- Bokuto gets really tired of that name sometimes."
Oh well. Do you know that Manga by that one singer/songwriter named E ve? Ah~ what's it called… K-Kara No Kioku, right? Yeah. As far as I got, I'm referring to the bag Inochi-kun/Tobi-kun carries around on his back. Yeah, that's a Zingai/entity known as your 'heart form'. I call Bokuto 'Mr. Heart form', because heart forms can seem eerie, and a little weird at first glance- once you see how they really are- they're damn scary- just like Bokuto. "Who gives a fuck? Besides, I've never heard that from him himself." Yeah- E ve is my favorite singer/songwriter. My favorite song by him used to be Raison D'etre- ya know, Todayou kono kuukini stuoopu, tada mujun wo daiteiru. Then I think it might've been Boumkuchen End? Don't really know the words to that one, but all I know is that throughout the song, he keeps saying Datteba. Then It was Tokyo Ghetto, where he goes like Kimi wa kyo mo stutaay. And then it was Yoru Wa Honoka, Inochi No Tabekata (Yes infatuated with Inochi-kun from "Kara No Kioku."), and now- It's Literary Nonsense. Yeah. I call the zingai 'Maddohatta', which means 'Mad-hatter' in Japanese, because of his hat. Yep, gotta love Nonsense Literature. Sabashii hoshi wo matte! Yoru ga! Akeru mae ni yoi wo samashite, and last but not least… Bokura! Baka ni nante, chuu wo matte- Ima dake wa, wasurete rat-at-ta! Odori wakasou, kono yoru o wakasou- …Namida wa hoi' shite nemuranai you ni- Yeah- that part kinda trips me up a little. "Well- can you wake that vanilla headed bastard up?"
"Once again, he's knocked out- we can't exactly-"
"Where are you?"
"...I'm in a place that if anyone else were in along with me, it would be inappropriate."
Me and Konoakichi looked at each other. "...Are you in the-"
"OKAY, GOTTA GO! BYEEE!"
Right before the call ended, I could hear the beginnings of a… toilet flushing. "...He must've took a good dump," I turned to Konoakichi. "Wha- I mean, I didn't hear him peeing, so I-" "Just- drop it, Sake. I get it." I put my phone away right when I got another text. I contemplated taking my phone back out to see it, but I decided against it. There are… other, important matters on the table right now. "So… can we still stalk Tendo together?" He looked at me for a second before chuckling and cocking his head. "Of course." Oh, great.
SUEO POV:
I refrained from yanking my hand out his disgusting un-sanitized grasp, but this is for Sako, and Kiroko, and all of the other kids that had to come face to face with this… alfalfa, everyday. He pulled my hand through the door. As my head went first-in, I realized that I didn't have my mask on. I yanked it out of my pocket, and snapped it onto my face. It also smells disgusting here. "Alright, time to get a look-on!" Ok, Idoiko would definately beat the dog shit out of me for acting as if she was this dumb. I looked around. …oh lord, why is this even an orphanage? Aren't orphanages… like- buildings? So wouldn't this be a Foster Home? …And where are all the kids at? "Well sir. I'm n-'' Wait a second- I just realized- they're not here anymore! I walked out of the front door frantically in search of Sako and alfalfa, but what I saw was a black van driving away… and small hands touched the back window. …why do I feel as if I can't move? I-I… I can't even open my mouth anymore, I-my hands are shaking, m-my- W-why can't I fucking move!? I want to run after them, after my otouto, but- I-I can't move! Finally, I reached my trembling hands into my pockets to dig around for my phone, and as I grabbed it, I texted Idoiko. If this was truly, entirely happening- I'm gonna need some help. …..Idoiko's help.
