Toman's Little Sister

9 | Moebius

"Hey, Emma." Mikey looked around the kitchen. "When does Y/N-chin's school start?"

Emma looked at him with a surprised expression, putting down her glass. "I thought she'd already gone to the meeting with you. I didn't know you were still here. She said she wouldn't go to school today so she could attend the meeting."

Mikey furrowed his brow. "You didn't come home with her?"

"You know how she is. If she has something in the morning, she'll try her hardest to try and sleep early. She left about an hour before Hina-chan and I. You didn't see her in the guest room?"

Mikey shook his head and took out his phone to see if he missed a call while he was asleep. Nothing.

He pressed his hand on his forehead, combing through his hair with his fingers. "I'll.. try calling her. I know she didn't just go back to her house either because her stuff is still here." He turned around and faced the front door as he dialled your number.

"Please pick up, please pick up." He whispered. But it just rang and rang until it went to voicemail.

"That's... not like her." Emma mumbled with concern evident in her voice. "She always picks up unless she's at school."

"I'll try calling Baji." Mikey paced around the living room, his phone ringing constantly as he dialled different numbers. "Damn it. No one's seen her since yesterday."

Swearing under his breath, he opened the front door. "She's probably just there early... that's something she's done before, right?"

You haven't.

Mikey hopped on his motorcycle and sped down the road towards the warehouse. He came to an abrupt halt and didn't even bother putting up the stand as his motorcycle fell over and sped inside.

"Y/N?!"

Silence. It was just the abandoned warehouse and him. There was a slight echo that rang back in his ears and he wished it was just you answering back.

Another motorcycle drove up to the warehouse and he heard someone walk in. "Oi, Mikey. You called me about Y/N and next thing I know, Emma's telling me you sped to the warehouse half an hour early. What's going on?"

Mikey turned around with a blank expression. "Y/N didn't come home last night."

Draken's shoulders dropped. "You're sure she didn't just go back home...?" Mikey shook his head. "Her stuff is still at my house. She would never forget those things... or at least, not this."

Mikey pulled out a picture frame and Draken examined the photo.

It was you, Draken, Mikey, Mitsuya, Baji, Pah and Kazutora when you were younger. When you all founded the gang. The seven of you were in the middle of the road wearing your newly made uniforms.

"She would never forget this anywhere. It's even the picture in her wallet." Mikey turned his whole body to Draken. "Do you still think she's just at her house?" He waved it in front of Draken. "This is her treasure, second only to her uniform and the gang itself. Do you really think she'd just leave it? Tell me, Ken-chin!"

Draken put his hands on Mikey's shoulders. "Oi, calm down. Freaking out won't do crap for us or her. Pah and Peh-yan are going to be arriving soon. We shouldn't get them riled up, too. We could have an all out war going on if we get the whole gang in it."

He crossed his arms. "Y/N's strong. She's been through quite a bit. She'd never go down without a fight.... Ever." Mikey wiped sweat from his face and looked away. "I know..."

After a while, Pah and Peh-yan arrived, knowing not of the situation.
