Lost Items~

On Monday I thought I could finally have some peace, no training, no part-time job just painting and tranquility, and peace of mind. However, Kazutora busted into my room without warning asking me about my love life.

"So you're really single, the date was just a fluke right?" I looked at him.

"Why do you want to know?" I questioned him, nonetheless, he didn't answer.

"Keep your secrets I guess," I said while focusing back on my illustration.

"Nope, no secret boyfriends or girlfriends here. How about you?" I just saw him shaking his head.

"I wouldn't mind if you dated Baji." That was what I heard this crackhead say, but I answered.

"Me neither." He looked at me with curious eyes and then I realized he took it the wrong way, not what I intended to say.

"I meant I wouldn't mind if you dated him either." I saw him standing up and coming behind my back putting me in a headlock.

"Let me go," I yelled while he was messing up my hair. I dramatically dropped my brush while letting out dying noises.

"Goodbye world." Kazutora released me being a confused bean, as I dramatically fell to the floor. But my theatrics soon ended when mom yelled from downstairs.

"Michi! Some guys are here to see you!" Again? When would I have the time to relax in peace? As an introverted person, I needed my alone time.

"Why are you so popular?" Kazutora asked me as I shrugged my shoulders.

"Who knows. Let's see who it is this time." We both went down the stairs only to get a glimpse of Takemichi's friends, but we weren't so close, what could they possibly want? The guys looked at each other it seemed like all of them were too afraid to speak up so Akkun stepped in and took the lead.

"Listen it may sound crazy, but I think your cat stole some of our items. We would be grateful if you could return it to us."

"Wait wait, when and where did that take place?" I inquired as they explained.

"Yesterday." So when we were at the beach this orange gremlin snook out and brought strangers' items into my room?

"Just step in and go upstairs," I said as they looked confused.

"You can help me search, I'm not too sure what is missing and the cat won't probably tell me so..." They nodded and went up, it looked like Akkun and Takuya seemed embarrassed by striding into a girl's room all of sudden, but the other two treated it like some sort of adventure of the century. Kazutora that didn't feel like helping retreated to his room.

"So any specifications on what you're searching after?" I had some organized mess in this room, but clean enough so it would be presentable to the guest that visited more often than I would like, they suddenly explained what they were missing.

"So a hat, phone, pills?" I asked as Takuya nodded his head. "And lastly a magazine." I tried to guess where my furry friend could put those belongings, but then I remembered something strange being in my closet this morning.

"If I'm right there was something there." I opened up my underwear shelf and found a freaking phone inside.

"This is beyond my understanding how this cat got in there." I then gave it back to Kazushi.

"Also stop standing around, I want to get this done with and finish my painting," Akkun spoke up.

"Are you really okay with us going thru your stuff?" It's not like I had anything to hide and I rather not waste my whole day seeking stuff I weren't aware of how they look like.

"Nope," I assured him and pointed at Makoto.

"You look under the bed." That's one of the places I could think of, the other would probably be something high, like on top of the closet. I slid over the chair to stand on it and see if something was indeed up there.

"Oh, here it is." I saw a hat I never witnessed before and took it only to lose balance and be caught once again.

"Is your favorite pass-time falling?" Akkun asked, he seemed like really bewildered at this scene.

"It's more like a curse, I fall every time there is a guy in the vicinity." Not really I took it out of proportion, but it happened so often that I demanded to have answers on why this was taking place on a regular basis.

"I guess it's like the god intended." All the guys were at a loss for words, but I just knew the system had most likely something to do with it. Did it really want me to date, someone? It was always between choosing violence or romantic options. I was helped back to my feet and I handed Akkun the hat he was searching for. Then Makoto found the magazine he wanted to find under the bed, it looked like porn from what I could see.

"Yea so I guess only the pills remain." But I had no clue where to find those, thankfully after some serious investigation, I found them behind some finished paintings that were standing in one of the corners of the room.

"There you guys go... all items were found." I smiled but then a notification popped up.

'Would you rather tell them to never come again, or ask them to be more careful around the cat.' I wasn't so sure why the first option existed. I chose the second task and my facial expression turned serious.

"But next time don't let my cat steal your items so easily, I don't have time to search for lost items, so be on guard while passing this street." They all nodded in sync.

"Actually before we go I wanted to ask you something," Kazushi said, while I made a hand signal for him to continue his sentence.

"I heard you know a lot of Toman members. Is it true?" I understand he was a delinquent information guru or whatever, but why did he need to inquire about such strange information as well?

"I mean.. it's true, why are you asking?" he then proceeded to explain.

"Rumors are circulating that a powerful girl refused to join Toman upon Mikey's request, so now every other gang tries to find out who it is, so she can join them instead to annoy the leader of Toman." I sighed in disbelief.

"So it was you that refused Mikey and his invitation?" He questioned as I nodded my head.

"But what is it with the powerful girl part?" Kazushi just shook his head.

"Actually the rumors speculate you are just as powerful as Wakasa, the one training you so..." That seemed like a serious problem.

"Not going to any future Toman meetings, noted." But then I backtracked.

"Ah no, just realized no one would believe it is me with my puny strength." Yeah, those rumors wouldn't cause me any difficulty, one can always argue one of the Toman members was my boyfriend that's why I hang there a lot, but how could such ridiculous rumors even form? I had no clue. Who was spreading those lies? I thought I was in Toman Revengers, not Gossip Girls.

"Also one more thing." Akkun began, and they sure had a lot of talking to do with someone they met twice in their life.

"Do you perhaps like Takemichi?" he asked carefully as I stared at him in utter disbelief.

"Why would you even come to such a conclusion?" I asked.

"I mean last time we saw you, you whispered something into his ear, he never told us what it was about." I laughed while explaining.

"I just joked I would steal Hina-chan from him if he didn't treat her right." They looked shocked, presumably it was something they never anticipated me to say.

"I see." Now when they had their items and they asked their share of questions they left. I decided to look thru my relationship status, merely wanting to make sure all the people I did consider friends had mutual feelings.

"Let's see." Right off the bat, I saw Keisuke and Senju on top. Both reached level 5 friendship whose title was 'Best friend'. When I looked at Kazutora's profile, however, it said sibling love on his status window, something similar to parental love I witness before on both my parents. However, his was significantly lower it was 50 out of 100. I scrolled down on the friend list to my surprise, both Chifuyu and Mikey had level 4 friendships.

"Why is Mikey considering me a close friend?" We barely talked with each other, was him muttering something about me being his favorite pillow making him consider me as one? Emma, Hinata also thought of me as a close buddy.

Souya, Nahoya, Yuzuha, Takeomi, Mitsuya even Draken thought of me as a friend surprisingly enough. But suddenly I found Kisaki's name in the same column. Level 3 friendship meant they considered me a pal.

"What the?" I asked and clicked on his profile. Not only did he have level 3 friendship but alongside it level 2 hate that was titled 'I wanna punch their face.' Shortly I found out the same was implied to Draken.

"I guess relationships can be complex." I shrugged and decided to see what were my thought on Kisaki as well. And my ass found out our levels were exactly the same in both friendship and hate meter.

"I won't even question how this works." Then I found Hakkai, that thought of me as nothing else than a rival, which was level 3 on the hate meter.

Then people like Mucho, Wakasa, Benkei, Kokonoi, Inui, and Takemichi's pals were titled as 'Interest' reaching only level 2 friendship.

The worst part was that both Ran and Ridou had level 4 Hate, which was titled as such, however, their profiles were marked as irrational fear, which made me realize it was best to be careful around those two, there was no telling when their hatred would overcome their fear.

Keeping that in mind I went back to drawing.
