During the fight..
"Shinichiro isn't here.. Emma and Mikey aren't here.. and grandpa's sleeping right now. I should go out!"
No, you shouldn't. Who told you that?
"I did a good job walking by myself the other day so I can do well again, right? I'll come back home in thirty minutes, that's more than enough time to get back home!"
...
"Wow! This smells amazing," you smiled while looking at the food you ordered.
"Enjoy your food," the female waitress smiled at you.
"You too."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that!"
"N-no, I'm sorry for making you feel embarrassed. E-enjoy your food," she walked away trying not to laugh.
You put your head down in shame. 'That was so embarrassing..'
...
"I'm never going out to eat by myself again!" You said to yourself. After that embarrassing interaction, you were now gonna go to a bakery to buy some treats for your siblings. The problem was that you didn't know where to go, you've never seen a bakery place near where you live. You've been walking for a while, too. 'I'm lost, aren't I?'
You sighed and looked down but you still kept walking. You suddenly bumped into a hard surface and fell on your bottom. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" You looked up to see what — or who you bumped into and saw a big man. He had blue hair with lighter blue streaks and yellow eyes. Oh! It was Yuzuha's older brother. Next to him were the same guys from before.
"Sorry miss," the blonde one spoke up and held his hand out for you. You took it and he helped you up on your feet. "Are you okay?"
"I-I'm okay, thank you!" Your cheeks reddened at how pretty he looked. It was like an angel just came down and helped you.
"What are you doing out by yourself, ma'am?" The other boy with a black hair asked you.
"I uh," you looked up to the big man staring at you. He was staring at your eyes. It kind of creeped you out, but you shook it off and gave him a smile. "I got lost.. I was looking for the nearest bakery."
"Nearest bakery isn't far from here, but you won't make it by foot."
"Oh, really? Never min-.."
"Stop wasting our time," Yuzuha's brother glared at you.
You quickly nodded and walked away since you got too scared to look him in the eye again.
"That was rude," Koko told Taiju.
"Thought she was cute."
"..That's not how you treat women. Especially not someone you like," Inui said.
"Don't tell me what to do. I know how to treat women."
'Sure..'
。。。
"Now I know why Yuzuha doesn't like him! He's so rude.. but still pretty handsome."
"Who's handsome?" You heard a masculine voice behind you.
You flinched and quickly looked behind you. It was the guy who tried to kidnap you before! You were guessing it was your brother's friend since he helped him meet you and was guarding your room in the hospital when Izana visited.
"H-hello.."
"Hello," he smiled. "What are you doing out by yourself?"
"I.. wanted to go out for a little."
"Your brother doesn't want to see you going out by yourself. Let me take you back home."
"I can go by myself."
"Are you sure? Your legs have been shaking the whole time you were walking."
"Oh.. wait! Are you stalking me?!"
"I'm not stalking you, I'm just making sure you're okay."
"Don't watch over me! I'm strong and I can take care of myself."
"Of course you are, but your brother demanded that I watch over you when you're out by yourself."
"Hmph! Where is he? I wanna have a word with him."
"You.. want to visit him?"
"Yes, please."
"I don't think now is the right time to-.."
"I don't care, take me to him!"
"I can't."
...
"I-I'm sorry..? Please stop crying, we're gaining unnecessary attention from others.."
"Izana said he doesn't want to see me.. that's so, so, so mean!"
"No, it's not that. He just doesn't want.."
Now he was lost for words. It was true he didn't want to see you, but he didn't mean it in a bad way. He was dealing with gang stuff and didn't want you to find out that he was in one. It was far too dangerous to get you involved.
"He doesn't wanna see me, just say it!"
He let out a heavy sigh. "Let's go, we'll visit him only for a little."
"R-really?!"
"Yes."
。。。
"Big brother!" You yelled out to him.
Izana quickly recognized your voice and looked at your direction. His smile completely vanished and he glared at the man next to you.
"I told you not to yell, you're gonna disrupt him!"
"Don't tell me what to do!"
Kakucho sighed. He's had enough of your chaotic self, props to your other siblings for taking care of you all these years.
Izana walked to your direction with three other boys. "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to visit you."
"Sis," he sighed. "Why were you even out alone, hm?"
"I wanted to go out for a bit.."
"When you just got out of the hospital last week?"
"Yep!"
The two brothers watched the siblings interact. A bit shocking how Izana was so calm around you, even though he was yelling at them a few seconds ago.
"So that's his sister," Rindou whispered to his brother.
"She looks exactly like how Kakucho described her," Ran mumbled.
"Pretty girl.."
"The hell are you two talking about?" Shion asked. "What sister?"
"Where have you been, man?"
"Have you never heard of Izana's sister..?"
"No?"
"This is why Izana yelled at us. You never listen and mess up every mission."
"Shut the hell up, Rindou. I've gotten enough lectures today."
"Hello," you waved to the boys, completely ignoring your own brother. Ran smiled at you while Rindou gave you a small wave.
"Y/n. Stop ignoring me," Izana held your shoulders.
"Let's get you home."
"I like your tattoo," you pointed to Shion. "It looks super good on you!"
"Of course it does," Shion answered, earning a small glare from Izana. "Thanks.."
"Come on, sis."
Izana pulled you out of the building. "Finally, those pests are so annoying."
"What pests? I didn't see any.."
He just smiled down at you and pulled you into a hug. "You know it's dangerous for you. You could get hurt walking alone, get harassed, kidnapped, sho-.."
"What?! You're just trying to scare me now!"
"Sis, you've got a small brain. That's why I have to take care of you."
"I'm trying my best, big brother.."
"I know, just try to stay home next time."
"Wait.. did you say I have a small brain? Are you calling me stupid?!"
"..."
