Chapter 26 - The Opps

The warm brizz brushed through your hair as you were sitted down on the of the stairs of Musashi along with the boys that were conversing about nonsensical stuff, you managed to tune them out and just stair at the clear peaceful blue sky which will never be like your life.

"Here" Draken said handing you a coke as he sat down next to you, he had noticed how quiet you were and things that nobody else noticed, your dark circles. "Thanks!" you beamed opening the can and taking a sip.

"Are you not taking care of yourself? You're much thinner than before. Are you not eating enough?" he asked almost annoyed at how horribly you were doing, he was like a nagging mother.

He was the father of the group and Mitsuya was the mother. Mikey and Hanemiya were the children, you and Baji were like the two siblings that were always at each other's necks. Pah-chin was the middle child. You guys were like a family.

He tugged your cheeks when you didn't answer stretching them as he intruded your personal space. "Answer me when I talk" he said until your cheeks reddened from the pressure.

"Am.. Sh.. ood.." you blurted, it sounded more like baby talk but Draken was able to understand, he let go off your cheeks and moved back.

You rub your cheeks trying to stop down the swelling as you glared at him. "Geez... that really hurt" you mumble.

"I don't believe you. You aren't getting enough sleep are you... What's on your mind Y/n?" he asked staring out into the sky as you felt weirded out that he even noticed that.

"Are you some kind of mind reader or something? Cause I'm pretty sure I did a fine job at covering my dark circles at this point I should be a make up artist. Even Hikari Mitsushima would beg to get her make up done by me. Wait did you hear her new song?"

It was so painfully obvious that you were trying to redirect the conversation to something else. You had managed to do hide your dark circles but how did he of all people see them.

"Don't try change the subject" you dropped your gaze to the ground avoiding any eye contact, taking another sip of your drink. "Fine" you were expecting him to give you shit about you not being able to open to him, you bit your lip waiting for the words to come but what he said next warmed your heart.

"I won't push, if you aren't comfortable with opening up. I'll wait until you're ready even if takes a five years. I'll l-" before he could finish you interrupted him.

"Thanks for worrying but it's nothing I can't handle!" you grinned at him try to eliminate any negative emotion he was feeling even if it was worry. You were grateful for him worrying about you but you didn't want him to.

You needed to take care of the problem before you lost a valuable organ. Especially your heart.

"What are you little shits talking about in secret?!" Pah-chin asked throwing his hands around you and Draken's neck pulling you two closer.

"We were talking about how much your bike sucks!" Draken shot him a snarky glance.

"We all know I have the best bike!" Mitsuya said joining on the conversation and you grimaced, now they were all going to be arguing about who has the better bike.

"It can't be if my Rocket exists!!" Hanemiya jumped in on the argument. They started arguing for the next few minutes you and Mikey weren't even allowed in on the argument since you didn't have one and Mikey had a mopad.

"DOES THAT REALLY MATTER?!" You roared, smacking the back of Baji's head and they all kept quiet but that silence was broken by Hanemiya.

"Says the pedestrian" he dark giggled, grinning from ear to ear.

"Damn, imagine interrupting an argument about bikes when you don't even have one" Baji joined in.

"It's okay we can talk about who has better legs if you would like?" Mitsuya said in the most sarcastic voice ever and now you were red from embarrassment.

"Little shit doesn't even know how to drive one" Pah-chin laughed leaning against Draken.

Yep being friends with these guys was so painful sometimes, they treated you like a guy and you liked that. So them calling you a little shit or just embarrassing was normal. Mikey shook his head a small cartoonish tear escaping his eye, "you should've stayed quiet."

'I also regret speaking up' you thought as they all cooked you taking turns insulting you about you not having a bike.

You needed to buy a bike as well but despite all the mean stuff they were saying about you they managed to make you laugh and forget your life was dancing with death. It made you feel happy.

.

"Wanna learn a bike trick together?" You ask Baji. He was the one driving you home, you were at a red light patiently waiting for it to turn green.

"Don't do anything stupid" he warned.

You laugh at that, you were gonna die soon so why not try something stupid.

"It's simple... I'll try stand up while you go fast" you told him grabbing his shoulders.

"The fuck?! No! You wanna die?!" he yelled whipping his head around but you cover his eyes. "TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!!"

You roll your eyes. "TRYING DRIVING WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED!" you yelled into his ear to annoy him.

He started trying to remove your hands from his face and it you didn't budge, it was a green light.

"Y/N STOP!!! DO YOU SERIOUSLY WANNA DIE" He was panicking.

You leaned in next to his ear. "It's a green light... Better start driving" you whispered into his ear. He panicking even more. "I'm gonna die I'm taking you with me... A double suicide~" you moaned at last part.

Baji's face heated up. "OKAY FINE! I'LL TAKE US BOTH TO HEAVEN" he bluffed. He started driving the bike and almost crash into a car but before he could you let go and he avoided it by a landslide. He drove a little parking his bike by the side of the road.

"GET OFF" he shouted, you knew he wasn't playing so you got off. "Are you crazy?! You almost got us killed! You know what you're gonna walk home!!"

You shrugged not giving a fuck. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU BUT THAT DOESN'T EXCUSE YOU TRYING TO MURDER US."

People stopped to stare at this. You zoned out everything he was saying. He got on his bike and actually left you there to walk home. "He's alive I don't get why he's complaining besides he's gonna die anyway, it would've just come a lot sooner" you say to yourself as you slumped your shoulders.

"And what a coincidence it's a few minutes away from Shinichiro's store," you laugh at this. You start walking there.

"Shin-chan I'm back" you cheered once you enter the store, he was once again working on a different bike. He wasn't there, you close the door, it was dead quiet.

Inui came out from the backroom wearing overalls, oil smeared on his face. He frowned upon seeing you. "You. " He was not happy seeing you.

"Slim!" you beamed sounding way to enthusiastic than needed making Inui flinch. You tone down your voice, changing your whole demeanor to calm and stoic. "Hey...."

"Shinichiro isn't here. You can leave" he scowled picking a bottle of water, drinking half of it in one go, you watch him, more like his Adam's apple. How could someone look attractive when drinking water?

Inui deadpanned. "You're drooling" he pointed to the drool dripping out your mouth normally you would be embarrassed but for some weird reason you felt confident. You wiped away the drool. "Why are you still here?"

He really wanted you gone but you had a new plan in mind. "Inui wanna go on a date?" you ask smiling at him sweetly. "No. Never" he shot down quickly. He didn't even like you so why would he even consider going on a date with you.

"Come on it won't be bad, if you hate it I'll never come back here" you say taking a closer step and he took one back as well. His defense was high.

"I'll even stop bothering you, so what do you say Shady?" before he could get away you wrap your hands around his neck bringing him closer to your face.

He was angry, he unwrapped your hands from his neck. "You're a kid go play with dolls or something" he turned his back on you walking away.

"Has anyone ever told you that age is just a number... and I doubt that we're that far apart from each other. Everyone knows love knows no limit" you grab his hand, turning him aggressively to face you.

He gulped as he stared at your (e/c) eyes. 'What the hell is with that strength for a girl?' he was bewildered by how strong you were.

"So...Seishu what is your answer?" you grin, at him he seemed more bothered than he was before but all of a sudden you were lifted up into the air.

"Y/N YOU'RE TOO YOUNG TO BE GOING OUT!!" Shinichiro cried holding you up into the air with one hand and you felt you had been caught so you stayed quiet.

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU?! FIRST EMMMA AND NOW INUPI? THIS ISN'T A ROMANCE ANIME" he bellowed. In his eyes you were dangerous.

"Shinichiro go easy on her she's just a kid" a guy with long hair awkwardly said, there was a scar that seemed to have been caused by something sharp on running vertically across his face stopping at the bottom of his lip.

"Yeah what would be the big deal if they weren't out?" a tan bulky guy with buzzed hair supported from behind, he was standing next to another slender guy short guy with feminine features.

.

Shinichiro had introduced you to his friends Wakasa, Benkei and Takeomi the former first generation captains. He closed the store for the day, but you guy's were all inside seating in a circle.

"Why did you try ask him out? While you're at why are you even here?" Shinichiro asked not wanting you to grow up too quickly.

"Am I not allowed here anymore?" you ask quirking up at eyebrow at the question.

"That's not what he means...he's just jealous that you're smoother than him" Takeomi laughed placing an arm around Shinichiro's neck smiling brightly.

"Oh that again how many times are you going to keep bringing that up?" Shinichiro whined feeling embarrassed.

"20 rejections? We'll keep reminding you forever !" Benkei laughed and you held down a evil laugh as you remembered that Shinichiro died, that that forever was only lasted four months.

While they started reminiscing about the past you took your chance. You turn to face Inui and wink at him, reminding him you were still serious about the date and he frowned, this didn't go unnoticed by Wakasa.

"This kid sure doesn't know when to give up" he says and you tense up. He had caught you.

"What did she do?"

"She flirted using her eyes" he snitched, you were shy so you didn't say anything. 'I'm gonna bury you in the same coffin as him' you thought glaring at him.

"Oh yeah? What was your answer to the date Inupi?" Takeomi asked a cheeky smile on his face as he bumped the blonde's hand.

"Stop encouraging this" Shinichiro said but he was ignored.

"Never in a million years," Inui said quickly his eyes half closed. He was never going to go on a date with someone so loud and flirtatious.

Shinichiro's friends sent you sympathetic looks they knew the pain of getting rejected by your first love. You nodded your head. "I understand" you say with your eyes closed.

"I'll come back every and ask the same exact question until you say yes because me and you could be for---"

You were interrupted by the loud ringing of your phone, you tried to continue but it got louder.

"Think maybe you should pick it up" Takeomi said awkwardly. You sighed and it pulled it out your pocket and smiled when you saw who was calling, you answered.

"So you've finally decided to commit our double suicide?~" you teased Baji. Everyone sweatdropped. Wondering if you were right in the head.

"Stop talking crap! Where are you?! You aren't home" he yelled, you smirk deepens.

"How do you know that stalker?" you were curious though, how did he know that. You were creeped out.

"I'm outside your house. Text me your address I'll come pick you up?" he sounded calm and guilty.

"You're no longer mad at me for trying to kill us?" you were suspicious of him. This wasn't like him. You had completely forgotten that Shinichiro and the others were there and they all stared at you terrified for their own lives.

"Text me the address. And wait there."

He hung up the call. You were confused and sent him the address seven minutes away from Shinichiro's store to make it shorter for him to come get you.

"Yep, this is where I leave you guys" you say getting up, smiling at them. They looked were sweating bullets, afraid of any movement you made. You scared them even Inui was freaked out.

"Whats wrong with you guys? You look as if you had seen a ghost" you laughed as you left them alone to drown in fear.

"Inupi if I were you I would say yes before she tried to kill me" Takeomi nervously chuckled.

.

You arrived there and saw Baji already there tapping his foot impatiently you run upto him. Ready to get on the bike, he stopped you.

"I don't know what's going on with you today? You're not getting on this bike until you talk to me" his whole demeanor had changed, his eye carried so much sincerety in them not the usual stubbornness.

"Why do you care? You never care" you said, he never did what was up with him today.

"Y/n, I do care especially when it puts my life in danger. So tell me what is wrong with you?"

You sigh, averting eye contact on to the bike instead of his eyes. "I'm sorry I promise not to try murder you again but I'm okay" you smile wavered as you looked back in his eyes.

Yeah.

You were okay.

It wasn't something you couldn't handle.

As you kept telling yourself that then maybe you would also someday believe it.

He could tell you were lying but he was not going to force you to open up. He put his helmet on your head. "If that's true then give me that ugly smile of yours" he said grinning brightly at you with his cute pointy vampire fangs.

"No" you refused but he grabbed your cheeks stretching them out to try force you smile you grab his hands and tried to stop him, key word: tried.

"Whatever you're going through you'll get over it because you're stupid Y/n! My number one enemy... You'll get over it because you're annoying like that"

This was his way of comforting you, it made you happy to know that he still had a heart, you smile at him his hands still on your face. This boosted your spirit more than enough.

That night you had called a meeting with all the members, you were wearing the same mask as before standing before everyone that followed you and Hanma's leadership.

They were murmuring against themselves, about why they were brought out so late. Kuragari screamed at everyone catching the attention and he signaled for you to start talking.

"Faceless has grown but not enough. We're making a loss, we aren't making more money so I say we say fuck the police and expand our business"

At this moment you were someone else, Pluto. Pluto radiated dominance and authority everything you lacked, behind the mask you could become a different person. This was the glasses to your Superman. The mariculous to your Ladybug. The mask to your Spiderman. When you wore the mask you were someone entirely.

The all gasped in awe at your speech.

"We're expanding our business! We'll move our market to all of Tokyo because playing it safe ain't gonna get us anywhere! If the police catch us what the fuck are they going to do? Arrest us? We'll go to juvie for two years or something. Fuck!"

They were getting all riled up as they finished your sentences.

"PLAYING BY THE RULES"

You point at them. "FUCK!?"

"MAKING LOSSES"

"FUCK"

"BLACK PEOPLE" you all stopped to stare at the person that had just shouted that. "What aren't we saying things we hate?"he looked so confused.

"Nah man you need to leave" You said pointing to the door. "We aren't here for the racist shit!" one of his friends shouted at him.

"Just leave" everyone started booing him.

You never really payed attention to color. You didn't see the big deal big whoop you're white? Like bro shut the fuck. Racsim is never gonna end if people keep on talking about it or paying attention to skin color.

His friends gave him disapproving looks as he walked away. Now it was awkward.

"ANYWAY I SAY FUCK IT! FUCK WHOEVER DOESN'T FUCK WITH US! FUCK WHOEVER TRIES TO BRING US DOWN! I SAY 'FUCK' YOU SAY THE OPPS. FUCK"

They wee getting riled up again. "THE OPPS"

"FUCK!

"THE OPPS!"

"FUCK"

"THE OPPS"

"FUCK THEM TO DEATH!!" you were going of the reels yourself.

They all roared in cheers, the sounds of their voices echoing through the abondoned warehouse. You felt like Kanye, everyone chanting your name as you jumped around from the hype.
