"They don't look that dangerous, thought."
"Don't let their good looks get to you, Nao-chan. They're burglars; criminals."
It was late afternoon. Nao, Ren, Kura, Kengo, Ichi and Yamato stood in front of a fence surrounding a dumpster near the harbour. It was the presumed place, they thought Kamiya went to. Indeed, they saw a group of handsome young lads lingering around on the dumpster. All in all, there were six of them. One guy was busy tuning his motorcycle while another one was polishing something that looked like a screwdriver. The rest of them was just hanging around in the middle of the dumpster, sitting on old sofas and listening to loud music.
"They look like normal youngsters to me", Nao was still not impressed by them.
"Guys who look innocent are the most dangerous", Kura said, "trust me. I know these kinds of people."
"Yeah, we do indeed", Kengo smirked.
"Let's just find out how tough they really are and what they know about Kamiya," Nao started to pull down the leggings she wore under her school skirt. Her friends looked at her in shock:
"What exactly are you planning to do?"
"I know what I'm doing, trust me." She handed her leggings to Yamato and pulled her skirt up her waist so that it barely covered her bottom. She also put her hair in a ponytail. After that, she took a deep breath and entered the dumpster.
"I'm doing it for a friend. I'm doing it for a friend..." She whispered to herself.
"Wait."
It was Yamato who held her back.
"You can't go in there like...like...this..." He blushed while pointing at her skirt.
"I know this is not my style, but do you have another plan how to make them trust me? Do you want to go in there and start a pointless fight? I don't think that will help us to get any information from them."
"But it's dangerous! I won't let you go!" His grip around her arm tightened. Surprisingly, it was Ren who spoke in Nao's favour:
"Just let her do it, Yamato. I don't want her to get hurt either, but I know her well enough to know that she won't listen to us anyway. I know how she feels. She wants to help Kamiya the most as she feels guilty for hurting him. We can stay here and step in when she needs our help, alright?"
Nao furiously nodded her head and looked in Ren in awe. She felt her heart warming up due to his words. The more time she spent with him the more he seemed to understand her feelings the most. Yamato grinded his teeth. He looked back and forth between Ren and Nao and finally let go of her hand:
"Fine. You can count on us but be careful."
Nao smiled and nodded her head:
"I'm quite fired up now, thanks guys."
She confidentially threw her hair back and made her way into the dumpster.
However, her heart was skipping a beat. Her hands felt all sweaty and her knees were getting weaker with every step she took. There was no helping it, though. She had to go in there. It was the least she could do to help a friend. A friend who probably hated her by now...
"Wow, look what's coming over there!" She heard one of the boys whistling while he started walking towards her with his hands in his pockets. He was limping.
"Looks like she's looking for us. Is it she your girl, Gaso? You picked someone up last week, right?"
"Dunno, forgot what she looked like", the guy tuning his motorcycle just shrugged his shoulders and went on with what he was doing.
