"Ah... I wonder how are they..." the certain blue eyed female said as she look at a photo.
She touched the frame of the said picture and smile.
"Toman... Nice memories... and also a traumatizing one."
She put the picture back at the box again and hid it underneath her bed.
"It's... Boring here ugh..." she let herself fall to her bed and stare at the room's ceiling.
There's no boring time when he's with the gang before. They are always... either having a gang fight or just hanging out at the Shrine. She can't complain though.
Takemichi then stand up and walk towards the door, leading her outside the house. She look at the sky and smile softly before walking.
"I miss them..."

"MANJIRO SANO!"
Mikey opened his eyes because of shock. He is sleeping and currently dreaming of his favorite food. A talking Taiyaki.
He was met by an Angry Emma, looking at him while holding a spatula.
"It's already 8am! Draken's here!" Emma said before huffing and left his room.
Not too long after she left, a tall, muscular man with a blonde hair and dragon tattoo appear at his door.
"Mikey... Let's go, we have a meeting." Draken said while... dragging Mikey out of his bed.
"Ahhh... Huh?" was all Mikey said while being drag by Draken.
...
"Uh...Hahhhhh..." Mikey yawned while driving the motor Shinichiro gifted him.
"Don't sleep while driving, Mikey!" a shout from Draken made Mikey look at him and smile.
"I won't sle-Ahhhhhahh..."
Draken just look at Mikey who's driving even being sleepy.
'He haven't sleep properly ever since Takemichi disappeared.' Draken thought and sigh.
It's not like he's not worried at him, it's because he can understand what he feels, after all the others also can't sleep properly.
Fortunately, they reach the shrine safe and sound.
"Mikey!! You're late!" a deep raspy voice shouted as soon as they reach the top of the shrine.
It was Baji, with his smirking face, showing his fangs. Pah-chin and Mitsuya sitting at the shrine while looking at him. And Kazutora, who's munching food, not minding Mikey and Draken who just got there.
"What's the meeting all about?" Mikey said while looking at them.
Their once smiling face turned into a serious one. Kazutora stopped eating and look at Draken before speaking.
"It's about Takemichi."
Mikey suddenly went from sleepy to serious and look at them.
"What did you found?" he asked in a serious tone.
'Damn. He's really whipped.' Pah-said as he stare at the serious look of his friend.
Then he stare at the others. 'Well, it's not like they are nothing near Mikey.'
"Wakasa-san may or may not encounter someone who look like him." Baji said while combing his hair with his hand.
"Look like him?"
Baji nodded and look at his phone.
"He said it was a girl, residing at Roponggi, she's wearing a uniform from the same school as the Haitani. She have a black hair and blue eyes. He deducted that she might be a sister or a relative of him."
"Should we approach her?" Kazutora asked while looking at them.
"No. We might scare the girl." Mitsuya said while sighing.
Everyone look at Mitsuya and smile.
"What?" he asked.
"Since you are always with girls, you know how to talk to them right?" Draken said while putting his two hands at the purple haired friend.
"So we are wondering if... You know, you approach her and ask if she knows Takemichy." Mikey continued while smiling at him.
"For once... Mikey... I'm glad you already grown up." Mitsuya said and chuckle when he saw the disgusted look of Mikey.
"Kidding aside... Sure, I'll do it. Let's just not hope that it will go well since... I'm a stranger." Mitsuya said while looking at them.
"Yosh! Let's head to Roponggi now! Better to just watch her first before we ask her."
"I-" Mitsuya was lost.
For the first time, his friends got smart.
"Fine."

Location: Shibuya
"Should I buy foods? I somewhat doesn't have enough stocks stored in the fridge."
She walk inside the grocery at her front but stop while holding a cart.
"Why do I suddenly felt shiver running down my spines." Takemichi said while looking around.
'Hah. I must be just overthinking.'
She continued to stroll to the grocery when she met with her long time rival. The high shelves.
"Hng... Ah... Why is it so high. Aren't they too cruel." she whined while keeps on trying to get the snacks she want to buy.
She heard a chuckle from behind so she did the most obvious thing. She look at the person but instead of meeting it's eyes, she met with his chest. She look up just to see her 'nice neighbors'.
"Ah! Ran-san, Rindou-san, hello, are you also buying groceries?" she asked and tilted her head.
"Yeah. Since we just moved out, we need groceries." Ran said while looking at her, no more like observing her.
"Ah yeah right. Uhm... Can you... Help me get the box? I can't reach it because I'm short..." she said, clearly embarrassed.
Ran just laugh and reach the box and gave it to her before patting her head.
"Yeah... You're pretty small."
She pouted at his remark.
"Meanie..."
Ran suddenly saw Takemichi on her. His pouting lips everytime he is being teased by the people he's closed with. How they stare from afar, looking at his well being.
Ah... Memories...
"...n-san... ran-san... Ran-san!"
"Huh?"
His eyes met the mad but cute look of the girl.
'I want to pinch her cheeks.' he thought.
"I keep on calling you because you are blocking the path." she said, shoving him with a little more force.
'Ayt. Thanks heaven that I decided to learn Kendo. I became strong.' she thought before looking back at the two.
"Thank You Ran-san. Bye byeeee~"
She walk in a rather fast place when she stumbled onto someone.
'Why is my week so full of bad luck!' she shouted in her mind.
"Sorry... I'm quite busy thinking of something else that I didn't see the way clearly, I apologize." she said, bowing before started walking again, not noticing the look at the man's face.
He stared to walk towards the girl who started to line at the cashier, waiting for her turn.
When he is at her back, he leaned at her ear before whispering.
"It's good to see you nice and well, Takemichi~ though... I think you have a lot of explaining to do..."
And that was the time she knew... She failed.
