Rindou's Party~

On Thursday, when I was sitting in school I witnessed Kisaki being more pleased with himself than usual. Yes, sometimes I could notice when he was cooking something up some schemes in his tiny head. So to get his mind off his evil plans I decided to agitate him a little, but nothing seemed to have worked.

Instead, I tried to get to the bottom of this and outright asked him about the cause of his sudden spur of happiness. He was pleasantly surprised I was paying enough attention to him to notice his change of emotions, but he refused to elaborate, I wanted to complain, but it's not like that would grant me any good results so I stopped talking with him.

Instead at lunch, the twins decided to change our usual eating routine, they wanted to chill on the rooftops so they came to my classroom to inform me about it. And for the first time, Nahoya must have paid attention to my classmates, because he finally noticed Kisaki's presence and once we were digging into our meals he decided to ask me about it.

"You know that guy with the glasses that happen to sit beside you?"

"Tetta Kisaki?" I asked as he nodded his head.

"Yep, I've been annoying him for some time now," I confirmed.

"Wait you are messing with that guy?" I just flipped my hair.

"What can I say, no one can resist my charm."

"Correction... no delinquent can resist your charm." I never thought Senju would betray me so.

"I mean it's true, but you don't have to say it out loud." I crossed my arms.

"I'm not too sure about that statement, I don't see you anything else than an annoying bug." I stared at Nahoya who had this annoying smirk on his face.

"I don't know buddy, you are treating me like a friend... so why are you lying?" He just clicked his tongue, did he like to fight with me so much, was that activity truly this entertaining for him?

"But Michi, I'm a little bit worried for your safety, that guy feels like bad news." Souya voiced his opinion on this matter.

"Don't worry Souya, he can do nothing against me."

"We should be the one being on our guard since that guy is going to join Toman today." Smiley pointed out as I stopped midway through putting the chopsticks into my mouth.

"Wait what?" I asked, it was already time? No, I still haven't made any inspections on Keisuke if he was carrying the health potion as I instructed him to, what if this fool decides to push me away as well?

"Apparently Mikey wants him to be the third division captain."

"Will Ryohei even listen to him?" Like how did he even accept it in the manga was my question. Later we dwelled on other topics like preparations for the school festival and whatnot. I already planned the sick look of the delinquent maid, yes I was gonna add some bandages, an eyepatch, and a bat. Wait what if Kazutora would show up with Keisuke and Hanma at the culture festival, at the same time as Mikey and his friends, wouldn't that create chaos?

After school, we were having our usual band practice, so I turned to Emma while asking, not trying to make it sound like I was making any accusations.

"So let's say at the school festival, my brother may come with his own gang buddies that are in a gang that are on bad terms with Toman... Mikey wouldn't start a fight right there right?" I hoped Draken would be there to be the big person and have the situation under control. Because I couldn't put my trust in Kazutora if he was by himself maybe, but if the giraffe tagged along he may try to rile up drama to watch some kind of sick show.

"I don't think he would." She responded, putting my mind at ease.

"Thank you... I don't want something bad transpiring, because I can't run around keeping tabs on those guys." Yuzuha then suggested.

"Don't worry about it, we can try to ease the situation if something takes place." I seriously didn't hope that all the delinquents I knew would show up. At that point, it would become a gang festival instead. But besides Valhalla, thanks to my brother and Toman, because of our band and the two Toman members that attended it. No one else was informed, and I didn't plan to invite either the Black Dragons or Tenjiku, but if someone dared to show up in their gang outfits, I would chase them away with my bat. If the attendees were scared the festival spirit wouldn't be the same and since it was my first, I wanted to live the experience to the fullest.

We practiced some more until Hinata mentioned.

"I think we are ready for the show." But then a question rose up.

"Should we have some stage performance outfits?" I wanted to coordinate something small, but at the end of it all the girls agreed to go full out, so we would meet up at weekend to figure something out.

Finally leaving school I decided to head home, eat something fast, and head to the party that Ran was throwing for his brother. When I arrived at the apartment it was basically packed with people. Even a stranger opened the door for me. For some reason even if Rindou was the birthday boy, he was acting like a DJ. I just stood there like a deer caught in headlights. Did I just witness teenagers consuming alcohol?

Were those two brothers supposed to be some kind of party animals? Why did I suddenly feel like I was watching an American tv-show? Also wasn't the drinking age like 20 in Japan, what was going on?

Then some girls dragged me inside, probably doing their best to make me feel welcome. I was offered some drinks as well, but I politely refused them all. And yet Ran tried to convince me Rindou would be sad without me around, like hell he wouldn't even notice my presence in this kind of crowd.

I had only been here for ten minutes but I was already exhausted. On top of that, some random guy put his arm around my shoulder.

"Can I help you?" I questioned.

"So... you don't seem the type that would party hard, my question is, who invited you here?" I was about to brush his hand away, but Ran came into our view and gripped his hand hard, glaring at him.

"Keep your hands to yourself." He told the dude, and then his demeanor changed as soon he glanced at me.

"Glad you could make it." So he wouldn't let anyone near me that wasn't approved by Izana or?

"Wait did you invite Izana and the others?" He just smiled weirdly and I was guided to his room. It felt like some kind of shelter from the sounds outside that only his closest friends could use.

"I shouldn't have come here." I heard Izana mutter, but once he saw me it seemed like his perception of this situation changed drastically. Kakucho was there as well, and he wasn't happy with Ran inviting me.

"She's too young to be here." I heard him scold the Haitani as if he himself wasn't only one year older than me. Suddenly Shion came in with snacks, it looked like he was running errands for the king and that's when I heard the most out-there request.

"How about having some fun together?" Wait did he mean dancing?

"I don't know." I was ready to do something crazy, like picking him up and spinning him around, but I bet he weighed more than I could take on right now.

"Lemme just try something." I put a firm grip around Shion's waist and then tried to pick him up, but could barely hold him for a few seconds.

"Yeah... Nah."

"What were you even planning?" Ran asked intrigued by how my mind worked.

"It's simple, spinning him around... Sadly from all the people gathered in this room, I will presumably be only able to pick up Izana." A ping, a notification made itself known.

'Would you rather try to pick up Kakucho or Izana Kurokawa?'

"Right can you give this to Rindou later... he seems to be occupied." I handed the present to Ran, but he insisted I give it to Rindou myself on a later note. I sighed but essentially agreed and just placed it in the corner of the room.

"So Izana get the taste of my grabby hands." He just looked at me utterly stunned.

"What are your intentions?" Kakucho asked, wait he was protective of Izana, but when he in turn tried to do something to me Kaku was just acting like a bystander? I was offended. I picked Izana up really easily and stuck my tongue at my supposed childhood friend. But it was funny carrying him around like a baby while patting his back.

"Who's my little baby?" My mind decided to roll with this insane dialogue.

"Then where are my kisses?" Izana said with the most serious face as if he was telling me, you better or else.

"One smooch on one cheek, one on the other... there you go are you happy now?" Only for Ran to pop his head in and say.

"What about mine?" I mean didn't people greet each other like this in other countries, like France.

"Hohohoho, oui oui baguette." The others just stared at me while I give every single one the same treatment.

At some point, Rindou took a break so I gave him some kisses on the cheeks and the present I prepared.

"You don't hate me?" What was the birthday boy even saying? We shared a prolonged conversation. Long story short, this fella believed I was purposely excluding him from conversations that I had with Ran because I was mad at him for previously breaking my bones. I was so confused since I never mention anything of such. At this point I didn't even care about what happened in the past, so why was he still stuck on it? Wait did it all rundown he felt neglected when Ran was only giving me attention?

I sighed and then an unexpected call came thru, after I walked outside for better sound and connection, I got to know that Chifuyu and Mikey wanted me to arrive asap.

"Okay, okay. I'm coming, give me a minute." A great excuse to flee this noisy party. After I let Ran know where I was off to, he didn't hesitate to offer me a ride, he additionally assured everyone in the harem he would drag me back to the party after our meeting, which pleased his highness Izana.

So once we arrived Ran actually went to Mikey, ruffed his hair, and straight out called him.

"Son, we picked some Dorayaki on our way here." He gave him a full bag filled with snacks.

"Thanks, you're the best!" Draken and every other captain of Toman stood there mortified.

"Mikey, what the hell?" Draken was the only one daring to question his leader and Ran's intentions.

"What? He treats me well." Ran crossed his arms, being really pleased with himself.

"So why did you call your mother all the way here? We were in the middle of your uncle's birthday party." This was getting out of hand.

"Mother?" Draken asked and basically glared in my direction.

"Michi?!" I heard Kisaki yell. I guess he wasn't prepared for this circus.

"Oh Tetta-Kun, I heard you were joining Toman, looking at the uniform it seems to have been the truth." Another bomb was dropped, I guess no one expected me to be close with this guy.

"You know Kisaki?" Mikey asked already devouring his Dorayaki.

"Yeah, we are classmates after all." Chifuyu didn't seem to have the patience to wait any longer.

"Michi, please make Baji-san change his mind, he left Toman for Valhalla." He begged me in a pleading voice.

"What do you expect me to do even?"

"Try to seduce him back perhaps?" Was he out of his mind?

"We aren't even sure why he left in the first place." Mucho seemed to be more ruthless than anyone else. And that's when some of the most ridiculous choices appeared.

'Would you rather tell them he left to have a chance to fight his love rival Tetta Kisaki or tell them the truth?' No way I would tell them it was all because of Kisaki's scheming, if I busted his ass, there was a chance of him coming up with another plan, and how was I supposed to deflect it if I wasn't aware what it was?

"Um... it could be my fault," I admitted, now every captain and vice-captain were gazing at me wondering if I was just making things up.

"So I may have told Keisuke there is a guy I liked, and he thought the best case scenario would be beating him up, to show his manliness I have no freaking clue..." Mikey nodded his head thinking it sounded like his best friend so far.

"But what does it have to do with anything?" Draken couldn't wait for me to get to the good part I see.

"Um... I told him I liked Tetta." I proceeded to send him some hearts, he wasn't amused, not at all. Silence engulfed us all. The one that actually scared me was Ran, his silence was creepy, to say the least, so I grabbed his sleeve to calm him down. Thankfully he didn't take any action. I laughed nervously, as I couldn't stand the atmosphere I created.

"I will talk to Keisuke and try to convince him to come back, but I don't promise any good results. Goodbye~" And then I grabbed Ran's wrist and got the hell out of there. As we were driving back Ran asked me about Kisaki.

"Oh don't worry about it, we aren't dating in fact I was already rejected a few times before." Wait then again why was I even explaining myself to him in the first place?

"Are you planning to someday ask him out again?" Then some flashbacks came to mind about this one character in a drama that never could take a no as an answer.

"No, gotta maintain some pride you know. I'm not that desperate." He hummed happily and left that topic at that.

Then at some point in the evening, I received two texts that implied the same thing.

"Your taste in guys is shit." Both Draken and Mucho wrote.

"Wow, thank you for your meaningful insight." Was my response, did they think I was stupid?
