"Get away from him, (Y/n). I'll teach him," Rock said softly, pushing (Y/n) away from him. Kaito looked up at Kaito and took a step back nervously.
"K-Kaito? B-But... Why?" (Y/n) mumbled.
"What! Let me explain! I didn't know they were going to hurt you and Akira!" Kaito said. "Please! They told me that you were special and sick! That you needed to go to a facility. I helped Kat get the money to bail you out of prison; she told me that she only wanted you to be healthy and happy... I would have never thought of hurting you (Y/n)!"
"Sick?... But I'm not sick," (Y/n) mumbled.
"... They told me that you weren't mental there. The reason you always zoned out in class, looked outside, always reading a book during lunch... Always reserved. Your only interest in life was the stars... Everyone loved you at school even though you were a bit odd. And when they told me that, I believed it... Because you always kept to yourself. Always keeping people at arm's length... Everyone but for Akira," Kaito said. "... If I knew they were lying and were going to hurt Akira and be after you like this? I would have never helped."
"So... I'm weird?" (Y/n) said.
"What? No-" Kaito said but was cut off.
"You just said I was odd! Because I don't talk at school... I have a reason for it. And frantically, you are pretty stupid, Kaito. I knew you were dumb, but I never knew you were that dumb" (Y/n) said. "Jeez~... Why do I always make friends with idoits~."
"Says the girl that is always trying to do the impossible~" Kaito teased.
"Says the guy that actually thought I might date him," (Y/n) said, pointing at Kaito smirking.
"... That might have been too mean (Y/n)~" Nico whispered.
"Wow, you always go back to me asking you out~... Is that your weapon against me?" Kaito laughed.
"Nah, he is a tough cookie," (Y/n) said, looking at Nico. "... So... Are you going to help us?"
"Of course," Kaito said.
"Continue to work for them. You can help us get more information on what they want... You can also give me details about the facility I'm supposed to go to. If you can get them to believe you no matter what they do to me... Like, act like you are still 'in love' with me. As long as you get me in the end, you will do anything" (Y/n) said. "Lie to them. Tell them you know they are lying after you found out Akira was poisoned. You can manipulate them into doing what we want as well."
"Whoa... You cane up with all that just now?" Trois said.
"Yeah, it's not the best plan, and I know it's dangerous... But it's the best bet that we have without having any serious danger. If this fails, the worst-case scenario is they hold Kaito hostage after finding out our plan and threatening me to go with them... Which I will" (Y/n) said. "That's also the most likely thing to happen if so... But if this works, I'm sure we can totally get through this. But we will be going back to prison for this~."
"Our strategist as spoken," Uno said. "I'm in."
"Same! (Y/n) is smart!" Nico said.
"I mean... I don't have any better idea," Trois said.
"I still don't think we should trust Kaito... But if (Y/n) says so~" Jyugo said.
"I'll follow you if you really think this might work," Rock said.
"I'm staying. There is no way I'm letting (Y/n) be around you boys, let alone Kaito, alone," Honey said.
"Now, we just need one more person," (Y/n) said. "And we know him very well~."
"No... Not him~" Nico said.
"Do we really have to?" Rock said.
"But he is mean!" Uno whined.
"It's the best way of success. Hajime is stronger than all of us. He can also get Kat arrested... He will also be the ones arresting us... But in the end, it will be worth it," (Y/n) said nervously.
