Takemichi And His Gang~

On Tuesday we wrote our exams, I was so confident because I didn't have to memorize anything besides Japanese kanji. Most of the material I needed was provided by the system, yet things like English were just a simple breeze, I was done with that part in like 15 minutes surprising the teacher, she must have thought I was bluffing but came closer and nodded her head in approval and let me leave the classroom. Since English was last I was let off early, I couldn't contain my smile, Kisaki was going to lose so badly. I could already imagine the shock on his face after he realized how badly he messed up.

"Maybe I should start planning where I should drag his ass." There was one detail about Kisaki that I would never forget, it was the fact he liked plants and of course his favorite flower.

"Pacific Wisteria... is that what it was called... weren't they early spring but also summer flowers? I hope I can find a spot where they grow." For someone that was an ass, he sure did have a neat hobby. Maybe I should buy him a cactus as a present, but that would be on his birthday unless he manages to piss me off until the time comes.

I was heading to the juvenile center on my bike, which got repaired by dad from the last incident. I was prepared with a list of questions and things to take up with Kazutora since now he was supposedly in our care, and we wanted to make it right. No one wanted to trigger our new baby so were trying to be extra careful. As soon as I saw him, I said.

"My wonderful twin, how are you faring on this peaceful day?" he was taken aback.

"Is this how you usually talk?" I shook my head.

"Just sometimes when I'm bored." At times you wanted to sound more aristocratic because you were above those peasants.

"So your fate has been decided, you have to live within my vicinity for the rest of your teenage years, what are your thoughts about that?" I wasn't sure what kind of answer to expect from him.

"Do you plan to be as clingy as at those family gatherings?" I shook my head.

"Only sometimes, I have to do it in moderation right? I suggest also implying wake-up body slams." He didn't seem too sure what to think about what I said.

"I'm just kidding-" I then chose to shift to another subject.

"Right my dad asked if you want to retrieve all the items from your mother's house all by yourself or would you have us do it before your arrival?" I had a hunch he was going to choose the first option, maybe he had something to hide.

"Once I'm out of here we can pick it up." I shook my head.

"On Saturday we going to have a family outing, you included." Kazutora seemed surprised at the news.

"We are going to celebrate having a new family member, son, brother." I shoot him a smile.

"A celebration for me?" he asked as I nodded my head.

"Yes, so I came also to ask what you wanted to do on that day. We can have a family outing or stay at home and watch movies or play board games." These were the few examples I gave to him.

"We can go eat at the restaurant, go to the amusement park, it's up to you." Suddenly his face lighted up a little.

"Amusement park..." he said softly.

"Awesome choice," I said and wrote it down while adding.

"We can always eat the snacks there." My brain was already dreaming about some ice cream.

"So yea about the sleeping arrangements, since we will pick up your stuff probably on Sunday you can sleep in my room." I nodded, I wouldn't let him escape from my cuddles, all the cuddles for an affection-deprived baby.

"Why do I have a strange feeling you're calling me something ridiculous inside your mind?" suddenly I gasped.

"The twin power got awakened inside you, welcome to the ranks brother."

"I wish you stopped calling me your twin." I shook my head.

"Look at how similar we look, it's like someone copied your face and changed the color scheme."

"I want to disagree but you do have a point." I nodded my head.

"But if you're not okay with twin... I can always call you banana boy." he wasn't happy at his new nickname.

"Why banana?" I then pointed at his hair.

"The way you colored your hair makes it kind of look like you have a bunch of bananas on top of your head not gonna lie." Then I added.

"So adorable." He stared at me in silence, like he wanted to start a fight but was trying his hardest to resist the urge.

"I will just call you Kazu-chan, is that acceptable?" I guess he realized there was no better option so he nodded his head.

"Great we have this clued out." We sat there and talked for a while, although I got surprised by the fact that once the visit ended he put me into a hug. But I returned it back and was happy that he was treating me gently, despite his usual violent behavior that was described in the manga, maybe he was trying his best to not screw this up. We waved each other goodbye and I returned back home.

Once I was at home it was time to change this humid temperature was the worst, I put on something simple as a tank top and a pair of shorts, I decided to open the window, but as soon I did it a ball came straight onto my face.

"Who did it?!" I grabbed the ball in anger and looked around, only to find Takemichi and his friends sheepishly looking at me.

"Can you toss it back?!" I heard Akkun yell like I would manage to toss it that far, then suddenly Cupid decided to jump out the window and ran to the other side of the street into Takemichi's garden.

"You little gremlin!" I yelled and ran out of my room downstairs while putting on sandals in a hurry onto my feet. As I came forward I saw Cupid attacking one of the boys. Takuya was struggling to try to get the cat off himself, which was basically clinging to his shirt as if his life depended on it. I shoved the ball into Akkun's hands and tried to get this mischievous cat off him.

"Just let him go Cupid!" but I had to be careful because it looked like I would rip his shirt by tugging the cat away too much because of its sharp claws. But before I realized I had fallen down, Cupid escaped and looked at me hovering over Takuya with satisfaction, while licking its stupid paw. I think I heard some whistling sounds from the other guys. I sighed, stood up, and stretched my hand to the bewildered Takuya.

"Sorry about that, my cat is a little bit eccentric." I pulled him up. But it looked like the cat already spotted another target and it jumped onto Kazushi next. Since it didn't work by using force, I decided to try another tactic.

"You better get off him or you will starve today." Cupid looked at me meowing while I answered.

"I'm serious, play stupid games win stupid rewards." Cupid jumped from Kazushi and now smugly returned back home.

"That's what I thought." I couldn't believe this cat. Would he try this again if they were hanging at Takemichi's house?

"Have you been living here for long, I don't recall seeing you around here," Takemichi said trying to start a conversation.

"But Takemichi we exchanged the pleasantries, don't say you forgot?" he stared at me not believing what I just said, since the Takemichi from the future was present, he probably didn't recall such stuff since it's been years for him.

"What's your name then?" he asked, I guess he was stressing a little not wanting to seem as rude.

"Michi, can't believe you forgot since our names aren't so different from each other." Yes, I wanted to mess with him a little.

"Wait that's funny since you guys are living so close," Akkun said. Then a mission popped up.

'Would you rather ask Takemichi Hanagaki if he and Hina ever kissed or say something that will make him suspect you of you being a time traveler?' What could I even say? Mention a game that wasn't released yet? I could do something really subtle, but I decided it would be funnier to mess with him further.

"So how are things going between you and Hina? Have you guys kissed yet?" His face instantly became red like a tomato, even the other guys were shocked at my forwardness.

"Ah~ You have still some way to go," I said and patted his arm like a bro.

"You know Hinata?" he asked as I nodded.

"Yep, we're friends." I gave it some thought and then said.

"Treat her well... if not I may steal her for myself." Hinata was the best girl, his eyes widened in shock as he heard the last part, making me bust out laughing.

"Sorry sorry, it was a joke," I said holding my stomach, but then I leaned in and whispered.

"Or was it." and then I ran back home leaving him to wonder whatever I was serious or not.
