First Club Meeting~

On Monday the first news I got delivered was in fact how Yuzuha took both Emma and Hinata for a shopping spree yesterday, to purchase the school uniforms out of her own pocket. I was taken aback by her quick initiative since our initial plan was to go the week thereafter. She must have felt quite excited to spend so much money, buying uniforms wasn't a joke.

"I got the uniforms so let's meet up the earliest we can... how about today?" I agreed since I haven't anything planned.

"But since I spent this much money you better allow me to use you to get out of tricky situations." I was so confused seeing this message.

"What situations are you talking about?" An answer came right back.

"Glad you asked... let me use your name whenever Taiju is going off the rails." I was so confused by this request.

"And what's that going to do for you?" I questioned.

"Simply I tell him what you were up to and he will calm down." Was he truly this interested in my day-to-day activities to forget about his current issues?

"Sure go for it." If it worked I wanted to hear about it.

"Thanks for making my life more comfortable." I scratched my head but started to prepare for school.

Once there I was so excited I totally forgot about Kisaki's existence, or more like I didn't feel like bothering him today. He must have caught on that something was about to transpire, because when the school ended he demanded to be let inside the club room for studying.

"Let's be honest here, you probably already figured out I invited Hinata and the other girls over, just be honest with your intentions, you aren't fooling anyone." He dared to roll his eyes at me when I called out his simp behavior.

"Besides, considering you're one of the club members it's not like I can't stop you, even as the president of the club." He would probably resign if I didn't allow him to do as he pleases anyway.

Senju soon came and the three of us headed to the now-cleaned club room, we left our bags inside and proceeded soon to the school gates in wait for our company. It took them only 15 minutes to commute to our school. Once they arrived we gave them a proper school tour, so they wouldn't look lost. Walking everywhere with confidence could probably trick anyone. When we opened the door to the club room the first thing I heard coming from Yuzuha was.

"Cozy... but who is this guy?" Before Kisaki could say anything I intercepted.

"You see... since to create a new club you require three people, once I asked Tetta-Kun to join, he was kind enough to help us out, in exchange for using this room for his studies whenever he pleased." I assumed it was better to showcase that he could have a good side, rather than weirding out the girls by forming an unpleasant atmosphere.

"Thank you for helping us out Kisaki," Hinata spoke while smiling in his direction, maybe no one else noticed but I could swear this dude suddenly got shy, he even nodded when the other girls gave their sincere thanks.

"No problem..." Was his answer, I couldn't believe it, how come he never acted this tame and nice around me? I crossed my arms now pouting. But decided to get over it once Emma yelled.

"Great! Let's have a meeting." I took a seat beside Senju who leaned in and asked.

"Are you sure you want to allow him to stay here?" Her eyes landed on Kisaki whose eyes locked on his school books. Now when I was aware the twins were attending the same school I could ask them for their assistance, but there was no certainty they weren't already associated with any clubs.

"Let him be, there is no certainty we can find a replacement anyway." Senju must have realized that Kisaki wouldn't be here for any other reason than Hinata, so we left it at that. Besides, it could have posed as some kind of distraction from his endless schemes.

"I hope you guys don't mind me not attending those club meetings often." Hinata seemed sad at the fact, but there was nothing we could do since she was in fact the busiest out of 5 of us.

"Don't worry about it, you already mastered the piano, unlike us that are mostly beginners." We assured her it was okay, much to Kisaki's dismay.

"For now you can relax, while we master our instruments... you could try to write a song for us." She seemed suddenly more excited.

"I will try my best!" She took up the challenge. Next, we made a throughout schedule on when we would meet, since the practice room needed to be booked a week in advance, also Classical music Club was usually hogging the practice rooms, so we needed to be extra diligent to snatch it away.

Kisaki left right after he obtained the most important intel, my guess was that he wanted to make sure which days the room wasn't going to be occupied and when Hinata would make her appearance, which we decided upon was once a week, while we others would meet twice as much.

Later when we were discussing whether to try to purchase our own instruments to practice even outside of school Emma received a call.

"No I forgot, I was supposed to go on a date with Ken." She apologized and gave her whereabouts to him, but once he heard she was in my school he asked for the address.

"Why is he coming here?" I asked as we all packed our stuff and closed the club room behind us.

"I have no clue," Emma admitted, he arrived rather fast. But with a dog at his side and Mikey. The first thing he did was give me the dog's leash.

"I told you, you would babysit Mikey." I looked at Pochi wide-eyed while gasping.

"Mikey you're stuck in a dog's body? What can I possibly do for you to lift this curse?" I hugged the dog dramatically and fakely sobbed, causing everyone to laugh beside Draken who just facepalmed at my dramatics.

Hinata soon disappeared for her afternoon classes, Yuzuha dragged Senju on some promised shopping spree as I was abandoned here with Mikey and the dog, not sure what to do in this situation. Do I take them both on a walk?

'Would you rather start a discussion about your brother Kazutora Hirabayashi or ask how your favorite son was doing?' I knew right off the bat starting any convo about my brother would end badly.

"So how's my favorite son doing?" I wasn't expecting him to beam so brightly at this single question, was he really enjoying being treated as a baby from my side? Why? I thought he didn't like to be seen as weaker.

"Great! Thanks for asking." Was this really the Mikey from the manga or was he exchanged with a lookalike?

"Glad to hear that. How about we grab some snacks?" And some food for me.

"And a nap in the park later?" He asked, I just decided to go along with his request, it wasn't like I could drag him to my house. We started to walk but soon he outstretched his hand prompting me to take it. I didn't even question it, just took it. As we were going to our destination he started to ask me about my training.

"So can you already stand your own in a fight?" He asked all excitedly, was he hoping for me to get stronger?

"I'm not so sure about that." Since last time I lost so badly to Haitani bros, but then again those two were a different breed.

"Lemme take a look." He suddenly started to feel my arms.

"Oh~ I think you're ready to join Toman!" So he said, but I shook my head.

"Didn't I tell you to ask me after Halloween?" His face suddenly looked sad.

"Come on, I can tell you can already fight... I'm pretty sure you are stronger than at least 2 % of our members." I blinked at him. Where did those statistics come from?

"I'm not emotionally ready to go into a real fight tho." Since I was firmly standing my ground he backed off, for now at least.

We arrived at the shop, I bought some Taiyaki for Mikey and a more savory treat for myself. We went to the park as Mikey desired and after enjoying our food, he laid down on the bench using my lap as his pillow once more. Pochi relaxed as well and laid down beside my legs, I kind of felt trapped in place. I stroked Mikey's hair until he fell asleep, this superpower of his was really something.

I just relaxed, wandering around with my thoughts until I received a call from Momo.

"Hi Momo, is something wrong?" I asked as she soon explained excitedly.

"I managed to overturn some of your haters into believers." A what now? I blinked in confusion, getting slightly distressed.

"Come again?" She shared her story properly this time.

"So I overheard some two dudes slandering your glorious name! So of course I took it upon myself to correct them, how could they call an angel, demon, I am right? So I gave them some piece of my mind!" Demon? Did she just pick a fight with the Haitani hoes?

"They didn't tell you to follow them right?" At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they even attacked an innocent person for following a demon's orders.

"They want to meet up with you, to apologize for their mistake." She said proudly, did she not realize it could have been a trap? Abruptly the phone was snatched away from her hands.

"We truly didn't realize your real form, please give us a second chance!" Ran yelled into the lure. I couldn't believe it, was this some kind of sick scheme to lure me out where Izana's eyes wouldn't reach?

'Would you rather meet up with the Haitani brothers or tell them to never cross your path again?' Yes, I wanted to follow up with the second choice, but what about Momo? I decided to meet them up tomorrow when she wouldn't be around, and somewhere close to Izana's apartment so in case they tried anything I could turn to Kakucho or Izana for that matter. Once I gave them time and coordinates I added.

"If something happens to Momo I will never forgive you." And I ended the call. Once the conversation was over Mikey glanced at me.

"What was that about?" I sighed in defeat while responding.

"Some weirdos want to meet up." I didn't give him more details than that.

When Draken arrived he was surprised at how well-behaved Mikey was, his whole reaction really sold it to me that I was babysitting some naughty kid.

"Right you gotta come to another Toman meeting, you will do it for me won't you?" Mikey asked and since he looked very eager I just agreed.

"But keep Sanzu away from me." Was my only requirement, he just gave me a thumb up claiming he would take care of it. Once I took some pictures of Pochi, they left with the dog. But a strange mission appeared.

'Would you rather call Manjiro Sano and tell him that actually you can't make it to his meeting or write a letter to Haruki Hayashida?' Upon choosing the second option I returned home and started composing a letter, telling him not to worry since I would take care of his case, also adding a handful of pictures of his dog and friends in a thick envelope.

Who said that he needed to finish his whole sentence? No one would be any wiser if I just bribed some police officers to let him out sooner, Kisaki would be furious if he saw Pah-chin walk out from his penalty sooner than he predicted. I couldn't do anything but laugh like an evil villain, scaring poor Tora next door.
