Bonten's Advisor

Nineteen

It was early the next morning by the time you woke up. You had ended up sleeping through the whole day on your bed, not waking up even once. You sat up slowly, listening to the birds seemingly chirping softly outside. You looked over to your side and found out that the bed was empty. Your eyes widened, as you stood up and rushed to open the door. Tripping clumsily on the laundry basket you left in the middle of the room last night, you fell forward, landing heavily on the floor, head hitting the door. You groaned, placing a hand on your forehead and rubbing it to soothe to pain away. You picked yourself back up, clutching your head and slowly opened the door, trudging to the kitchen and opening the freezer door and grabbing an ice pack, placing it to your forehead that began to swell a little. 

"What happened to you?" Koko asked, eating his breakfast at the table, looking up from his meal. 

"I fell," You mumbled, embarrassed. "Where's Sanzu?"

"He's with Ran and Rindou downstairs," Koko replied, pointing to the floor. 

"Oh." You crackled your knuckles. "He better not be doing anything stupid or strenuous."

"That's a little far fetched. Just a little." He scoffed, bringing the teacup to his lips. 

"Well thanks, Koko. I'll catch you in a bit." You replied, making your way to the elevator, hearing him hum in response. The elevator door closed, and you pressed the button to the Haitani Brothers' floor. Luckily, they had kept the floor unlocked, giving you access without having the need to take the emergency stairs. The elevator door opened and you stepped out, walking towards the door at the end of the hallway. Immediately nearing the door, you heard laughter and the clinking of glasses, along with the strange electric sound. You knocked on the door and heard them scuffling around.

"Oh shit," Ran uttered, definitely not even trying to hide his voice. The door opened as Rindou opened the door. You peeked in the room, and the room was a mess with Ran attempting to shove things into the corner of the room, and Sanzu sitting on a chair in the middle of the room. Pushing Rindou aside, you entered the room and headed straight for Sanzu. 

"Hey, sweetheart. What are you doing here?" Sanzu asked, his eyebrow twitching slightly. 

"Came to check up on you. That's all. Checking that you're not doing anything 'stupid,' so you don't hurt yourself more than you need to." You replied quickly, looking over at the two brothers before turning your head back to Sanzu. 

"Hey don't look at us like that. We didn't do anything!" Ran exclaimed quickly, noticing the gaze on him. 

"Sure, says the one that was hiding shit the second I knocked on the door," You walked over to the corner of the room and pointed at the badly hidden pile of alcohol and glass cups. You heard the three of them gulp audibly as you noticed the pile. "See?"

"Yeah and?" Rindou started. "We just wanted to drink and you were still sleeping so we took bored Sanzu with us."

"He's injured." You replied. 

"I'm fine though," Sanzu replied, swinging his arm normally.

"That's your non-injured arm," You pointed out, walking back to him and pushing softly at his thigh, causing him to breathe in a sharp breath of air through his teeth. "How much did you drink?"

"One glass," He replied quickly.

"No more then. It'll lead to more bleeding."

"Yes ma'am," Sanzu replied in a quieter voice. 

"So what are you doing now?" Ran asked, picking up the drinks and the alcohol from the corner of the room and placing it back on the table. He poured a glass of whiskey and handed it to you, which you declined.
