After refusing to talk to Draken and Mikey for a whole week, Aiko finally gave in agreeing to meet Draken at a festival and dropped going to do something with Mikey which was apparently urgent to him. She texted on the phone, Kuma at her feet as she waited for Draken and Takemitchy at the festival.

                                                                            swag, or what???

chifu: LMAO I WISH YOU COULD SEE HOW ANGRY HES TYPING

"Aikoo, hey!" Takemitchy's familiar voice called from near her, putting her phone in her pocket and ignoring the buzzes. Along with Takemitchy and Draken, there was Hina, the girl who had slapped her and Emma. Emma seemed for some reason despise Aiko, she'd make snide comments, glare at her and just give her dirty looks, so Aiko despised her back.

"Hey, Takemitchy! Oh, Hina! I haven't seen you in a while, last time I saw you, you beat Takemitchy half to death. How've you been?"

The girl giggled covering her mouth, "I've been great! I can't wait to set off some lanterns here, later tonight!"

"Ah, there's lanterns? Ken! Do one with me! I would do it with Hina but I guess she'll do it with Takemitchy."

"No! I mean- yeah, but," 

Hinata was cut off by Draken, "Whatever, if you want."

Emma scowled shifting closer to Draken, she smiled.

"Thanks!"

Despite everyone knowing it, sensing it and seeing it. Emma just couldn't see the sibling bond between the two and was too angry with Aiko to see it, or ever see it. She was angry that everyone seemed to like her, and she was jealous of how close she was to Draken.

"Anyway, lets go."

Hinata and Takemitchy went off together to a game, Draken, Kuma and Aiko went together, Emma trailed behind them.

"Ken, can you buy me something to eat?" She asked nervously, "I haven't had anything all day, I've been really like poor lately because I have to buy Kuma's food. Not that I'm complaining I mean- never mind."

"You haven't eaten? What do you want?" Draken's worried face looked left and right before dragging her to a small food van. It sold things like chips, hotdogs, burgers and more. He slammed his hand on the menu that was on the side of the van, "Choose something."

"What the hell? Uh- can I have a burger please?"

Bringing out his money, Emma chipped in.

"Can I have something too, Ken?"

Draken handed the money to the person behind the van, "Don't call me that, please." Unintentionally, he had completely ignored her request. The burger was ready in just a few minutes before they began to eat and play games.

Aiko and Draken had taken a walk together, she left Kuma with Takemitchy, Hina and Emma. They both wondered what urgent business Mikey had to be on but decided that he'd probably explain when he came back what he had gone to do. The tapping of their shoes filled their ears, and the silence was somewhat comfortable.

"I never really apologized I guess, " Draken said, "I apologize for being so selfish before. I was so disappointed in myself for upsetting you because..."

"You're like a sister to me."  

It's something that anyone could say, yet after Aiko's experience it was something so special and touching but also something she had already known, it felt nice to know and hear it from someone else. A sister, huh? I guess she hadn't ever taken a break from being one then, even after her brothers died.

"Wow, is THE Draken saying he cares about me??"

"You're so annoying."

"Thanks though. Seriously. Both you and Mikey have always been brothers to me, but it's nice to know you think of me as... a sister." She lightly laughed, stopping and hugging the blonde. He pat her head.

"I'm glad I have you two, Ken"

"Me too."

One single footstep confirmed Aiko's suspicion, she pushed Draken forward taking his previous spot, a blow meeting the side of her head she was knocked to the ground.

"Aiko! You alright!?"

Draken's voice was slightly muffled but she ignored it and managed a small smile that showed no sign of pain despite the blood this dripped from her forehead down to her jaw.

"Fine! So, who thought Draken or I would go down with just one blow from a bat?" The metallic taste of blood lingered in her mouth, a grin curled up onto her lips, a dark look finding their way to her eyes, "I'll kill you."
