Kiss, Kiss, Fall in Love~

Saturday was supposed to be stress-free, just me and the girls on a nice relaxing shopping spree, during the evening. But before I could step into that zone, forgetting about all the drama that was taking place all around me, I heard Takemichi yell my name across the street.

"Did he really have to ask for my presence right after lunch? I was considering taking a quick nap," I mumbled to myself and started to head downstairs. Cupid decided to join my quick adventure. So I put some shoes on and headed to his house, where I was quickly welcomed in.

"I'm here, what's up?" I asked stroking my cat's fur, imagining myself looking like a villain from a TV show. When my eyes landed on Takemichi's figure and I was led to his room, I could tell he was shaken up, possibly from finding out about Kisaki's nasty schemes.

"You holding up, bro?" I asked putting Cupid aside, opening my arms, ready to offer him a hug which was quickly rejected. Was he perhaps shy or simply convinced no one could beat Hinata's consoling secret techniques?

After I scooped up my cat, and we reached his room, I witnessed Chifuyu sitting there, were they already closely acquainted? No wonder, since they probably recognized each other from their previous encounters.

"Why did you ask her to come over?" He questioned Takemichi, that's what I wanted to know as well.

"I told you I had someone that could help us bring Baji back, and I meant Michi." Blondie didn't seem impressed, also when did I agree to become part of their secret collaboration?

"I understand that Baji-san has a crush on her, but I doubt Michi will agree on luring him back to Toman in exchange for a relationship... then again I doubt even that would work at this point." Did he really believe seducing guys was the only thing I had going for myself? Wasn't he just 2 days before asking me to seduce him back, where did this change of heart come from?

"Wait really?" Takemichi seemed shocked at the news.

"You didn't know?" Wasn't he paying attention to such details?

"Anyway, I have some questions for you, young lady!" I just stood there quite dazed as Chifuyu continued.

"What is that bullshit about liking Kisaki? Do you even know what kind of wicked things he's been up to?" Did he really believe a normal person could catch such details in a school setting when he was acting like a nerd?

"How can you be so oblivious?"

"The thing is... I'm not... I already know what this maniac is up to." Chifuyu in turn just fell to the floor caused of the sudden shock.

"Wait are you working for him or something? If not why haven't you said anything?" I sighed already exhausted by this conversation.

"Listen, everything is based on my speculations alone and intuitions. And rather than seeking out evidence, I rather make preparations for what's to come."

"And what kind of precautions and actions are you taking?" Was his question. I decided to think about it deeply since there was not much I could do before Bloody Halloween.

"Dragging some Valhalla members onto my side?" Sure I had Jun for starters, but could I perhaps convince Chome to follow my lead, I could lure him in with more snacks and positive reinforcement.

"How exactly?" This dude had so many questions, was I required to answer them all?

"She already infiltrated their numbers." Takemichi pointed out, he looked somehow proud of my accomplishment.

"You may not share this news with Keisuke tho." I wanted to see if he could figure it out on his own, since the mission didn't include him, as long he didn't blabber it out to Tora it was fine.

"Wait, what does infiltrate imply exactly?"

"Joining their ranks without having your identity discovered." Which I probably would do myself on the day of the fight.

"How would you achieve this exactly?" I shook my head not believing he couldn't figure it out on his own.

"Wearing a mask, obviously."

"Wait are you that person that wore a demon mask, that persuaded Hanma to mop the floor?" I nodded my head.

"How's that even possible?" He demanded to know the answer.

"Simple, everyone likes food and since I'm probably the only source of nutrients he has besides Kisaki he let himself be bossed around." Chifuyu just sat there with his mouth open.

"You bribed him with food?" I agreed.

"I'm not sure whether I should be amazed or simply terrified." I guess he remembered the guy from the previous fight and simply concluded no one could control that giraffe.

"So for what purpose did you do this all for?" Was this guy for real?

"Didn't you see? Kazutora is part of Valhalla of course I needed to join to keep him in check." I crossed my arms as Cupid meowed in agreement.

"But couldn't you just convince him otherwise?" I just held my head and sighed in defeat.

"I don't think he even realizes I know about him joining that gang, and I genuinely tried to make him open up to me, but every single time, he manages to run away." I then clenched my fist.

"Kisaki is to blame, I bet he told him something nonsensical... that guy is too good with his words." Chifuyu was taken aback again.

"I simply don't understand you right now." I didn't either.

"Don't try to change the topic, into it being another lecture on why Keisuke Baji is the best boyfriend or something. Do me a favor instead and start stripping." Chifuyu just covered himself with his hands.

"Only reserved for Senju."

"Oh come on, I was going to just put some superior balm to reduce your bruises." He just outstretched his arm, as I reached into my pocket and opened up the inventory inside of it pulling out the cream I was apparently saving for this moment.

"So what's so special about it?" Chifuyu asked, Takemichi probably figured out it was something I was granted by the system.

"It has a secret ingredient." He narrowed his eyes at me, being suspicious.

"What could that possibly be?" I decided to mess with him a little to lighten up our spirits.

"My spit, with my DNA infused into your cells you be good as new." He suddenly looked shy.

"Are the side effects getting Baji-san to love me?" I could tell he was joking.

"We can swap our bodies, you get your cool Baji-san while I have Senju, win-win situation." He didn't seem convinced.

"Hell no." And he strolled to the toilet to apply my secret remedy.

"Is it truly so special?" Takemichi in turn asked. Soon Chifuyu basically ran back after applying it.

"What's this? What did you do? It removed the bruises on my body instantly?!" I put my finger on my lips while saying.

"Shhh, it's a trade secret... but I can gift it to you Takemichi, I bet you need it more than me." Then I proceeded to whisper into his ear.

"It should have four more uses, so apply it once on a big scale, rather than individual bruises."

"Are you already leaving?" Chifuyu questioned me as I nodded my head.

"You have some plans for today?" I agreed.

"Yes, a date with four amazing girlfriends. I will send you evidence of our outing." I managed to piss them both off, and left in a flash.

When I returned back home with Cupid, I put up some cute outfit, gotta look the best for our date with the girlies.

So when we met up and decided to hit up a dessert shop first, I had to take some cuddly pictures.

"Don't tell me you plan to piss off our boyfriends once more Michi." Emma inquired about my intentions.

"Why not, they are all in a really difficult space right now, I'm just trying to be the best friend and get their mind off such heavy things, ya see." I snapped all four pictures of me giving each of them a peek on the cheek.

"Wait but who are you even sending my picture to?" Yuzuha asked as beside me she was the only one without a boyfriend.

"Easy, Taiju... gonna tell him you are the only one for me." And that's what I did.

"Won't he try to come for my ass, for seducing his girlfriend-to-be?" Yuzuha questioned.

"Come on don't be silly, I bet he can't even comprehend gay people's existence... is that why he beats up Hakkai?" I got smacked for that question.

"Why the violence? I was asking the important questions here." Yuzuha didn't seem to have agreed.

"Oh look, they all answered at record speed."

"Emma... Draken hopes you will wipe away your cheek or something, what I am, a literal plague?" I crossed my arms, because of the amount of disrespect I was receiving. After reading all the angry messages, I lastly read Taiju's response.

"She can be your sister-in-law if you're so fond of her... Yuzu-chan is that a marriage proposal thru texts?" She gave a glance at the message.

"I guess... what's your response to that?"

"He better line up, he's the third person requesting my hand in marriage." Hinata just choked on her drink hearing that.

"What?" All the girls asked.

"Who are the other contestants?" I then admitted.

"One person wanted it to stay a secret between us, so I can't reveal his name. The second is Keisuke." Emma started to laugh.

"This is the tea of the century, how did that happen?"

"Oh my parents joked, that Keisuke is their son considering how often he visits our house and added something about adoption, then he freaked out and said that was cruel or whatever because if he is adopted he can't marry me later... I never told that story before?" Emma shook her head.

"Thanks now I have something to bully him about." We high-fived on that note.

"Just gonna drag him out of Valhalla first." I reminded her.

"How about sending him a picture in a cute dress?" Was Emma even in those times trying to set us two up? And Venus must have liked this idea as well.

'Would you rather send a photo of yourself to Keisuke Baji or Shuji Hanma?'

"I guess we could go that route." Emma seemed really excited.

"Great when you two start dating, let's go on a double date." With Draken? Wouldn't that be a disaster?

"Why are you so convinced I would date him? It looks like my type is the total opposite." I just groaned reminding myself of the fact. I shook my head since being frustrated about it now wouldn't help. So I decided to have fun by feeding Senju and the other girls the dessert we ordered.

Later we were strolling around the mall trying to figure out what kind of theme we wanted to go for, as I personally tried to recall all the girl k-pop trends we could use to our benefit.

"How about we stick to a theme?" Senju asked while the other girls thought and a random idea came to my head.

"It would be interesting singing in demon horns."

"Angel and demon theme? But like in modern clothes?" Emma suggested which all the girls seemed to have loved.

"How about deciding on a color composition as well? To make it easier?" We all put our heads together.

"Purple, black and white?" Hinata suggested and we all looked at each other and nodded, it sounded like suitable colors for a rock band.

"Let's select some clothing, and I will alter them to make them look more unique." The girls seemed to have liked my idea.

"So how do we decide who gets which theme?" That was a good question Yuzuha.

"How about the singers chose one and the others go for the second option?" Hinata suggested and so Emma took my hand and yelled.

"We are the devils!" She exclaimed loudly and then she begged me to agree.

"Very well let's shop for some accessories as well." So we roughly agreed that I would have the devil horns, Emma would have the wings, as well as some nice-looking earrings with devil motifs.

As for the angel side of things, Hinata chose to have some feather earrings, with hair clips with wing motifs. Senju would have the angel halo while Yuzuha the angel wings.

"This settles is then." We agreed but I was then dragged away by Emma as per promise she wanted to snap a photo of me and send it over to Keisuke to monitor his reaction.

"He just left me on read." Emma was nothing but disappointed.

"Did you at least attach a message?" I nodded my head.

"Yep asked how I looked in it and all." Emma then gasped loudly.

"It couldn't be that he suddenly lost his feelings...?" In retrospect, I believed maybe he wanted to stay away so I wouldn't get any ideas to storm into Valhalla or something.

"You better give me an update, if he decides to answer." I nodded my head but wasn't expecting anything truth to be told however, this development somehow ticked me off. Why when it did matter this guy wasn't speaking his mind and voicing his intentions? In the end, it didn't matter as I was going to make my inspection to make sure he still was carrying around the health potion.

"Let's see how long you can play this game Keisuke," I mumbled to myself, but then returned back to the present.

We purchased all the clothes and later went to my house so I could adjust some of the stuff for them aesthetics.

"This is some unique fashion you have there." Yuzuha pointed out as I nodded my head.

'Would you rather answer you came up with all on your own or call it the invention of the future?'

"Futuristic." I kept it simple and even winked in her direction.

"Sometimes you say the most whack things ever."

"Aren't that the reason you love me so much, come let me give you a kiss." She kept me in my seat beside the sewing machine.

"Focus." I sighed and kept concentrating on the task at hand. Unexpectedly later, I apparently was deserving of a kiss on the cheek, so I whipped out the kissing tier list once more.

"Yuzuha deserves nothing more but the highest of rankings." So I drew her chibi on the S-tier list. I wasn't sure whether bringing it out in front of the girls was such a good idea tho. The gossip thereafter was never-ending.

"Say does it mean you think I should send my brother on a kissing course?" Yuzuha recently loved to bully her older brother, for all the things he pulled her thru. After all, she had the best teacher in existence, me.

"Is that even a possibility?" I questioned, also there is no way she would force him to practice on a stranger. But this sparked another topic, the girls now sharing how good of kissers their boyfriends were in fact.
