Toman's Little Sister

12 | Festival

"Ken-chan!" You ran up and jumped up as he caught, stumbling back. "Whoa, what the hell? You should warn me before you do that!"

You laughed and he put you down. "Emma-chan, Hina-chan."

They nodded and trotted up so they could greet Takemichi and Draken as you stepped I v back. "I'll be looking at the food, okay?" Draken nodded. "Get me a tariyaki!" You nodded and you were gone.

You stepped behind one of the booths and sighed. August 3rd. You took a deep breath and went back onto the walkway. "It'll be fine." You told yourself.

As you walked up to one of the stands, someone reached out and touched your shoulder, making you jump, grabbing their wrist and twisting it behind their back.

"Ow, ow! Y/N!"

"M-Mitsuya!" You let go and bowed. "I'm so sorry, I thought you were—"

"It's fine. I'd be startled if some guy suddenly grabbed your shoulder like that too. Have you heard what Peh-yan is planning on doing? I was going to tell Draken, but he seems so... relaxed right now."

Technically I haven't heard, but I know what he's planning.

"Yeah, I have. Do you know when he's coming?" He shook his head but smiled. "I guess we'll figure it out. Draken and Mikey told me that you didn't have a date?" You smiled and picked up a dango, putting the top one in his mouth. "Not dating?"

"Not dating." And he placed the second dango in yours.

You skipped over to Takemichi and Hina, watching him play the game.

"I hit it!" He celebrated. Then the owner of the stand banged the wall that had the rule that the target had to be knocked down.

BANG

The man's eyes widened, the target being destroyed on the ground. "Oh, looks like it's been knocked over." You said, your arms crossed and your left brow raised. "It counts."

The man slowly nodded, handing the prize to Takemichi and you walked back to Mitsuya.

"What the heck, Y/N."

"Hey, the rules never said you had to use the items provided."

"What the hell did you even use?!"

You and Mitsuya roamed around the festival for a while longer with the others until you abruptly stopped and smiled. "Sorry, give me a minute, I'll catch up."

Draken, Takemichi, Emma, and Hina all nodded and walked forward and Mitsuya stayed by your side until they were far enough away.

"...Did you see anything?"

"Moebius uniform down that way. Get your motorcycle and beat me to it."

He nodded and departed from you. Once stood up, you ran behind one of the stands and took off your kimono, revealing the Toman uniform underneath.

It should start raining in three, two... there.

You ran into the walkway and searched around. Running down the wet pathway, you tried remembering where the parking lot was from where you were.

"I let my guard down too much, damn it!!"

Running up to one of the stands, you asked for an umbrella and began running into the forest surrounding the festival.

I swear on my step father's life, I will stab someone with this umbrella if—

"Y/N-chan!"

You stopped and turned, seeing Hina standing under a tree. "H-Hina-chan? What are you doing here?"

"I was with Takemichi-kun but he ran off not long ago." She took your hand. "I'm worried..."

"Which way did he go?"

"That way."

You and her quickly ran down the path towards the shrine, calling out Takemichi's name, Draken still lingering in your thoughts.

"Wait, what's that?" Hina looked down the path and let go of your hand. "Takemichi-kun!"

Both you and her knelt down next to him and you took out a hairpin to cut the tape wrapped around him.

"Who did this?"

"K-Kiyomasa-kun..."

Your eyes widened and you stood up. "I'm so sorry, I need to go." You pulled out a small box about the size of your hand from your uniform. "Small first aid kit if he needs it."

You bound through the forest, avoiding low branches and jumping over roots, hearing soft fighting grunts in the distance amongst the patter of the raindrops.

"Draken!!"

In a moment of adrenaline streaming through your veins like a rushing river, you grabbed onto a tree branch and swung, kicking the member that was about to kick at Draken. "Screw off."

"I could've handled it myself."

"Good to know, you're welcome." You stood behind him, your fists clenched and a murderous glare in your E/C eyes. "Besides, what exactly would you have done with that wound?"

He chuckled and got into a fighting stance. "Whatever, it's not like you'd listen to me anyway."

"You know me well."

More Moebius members came and you and Draken made eye contact, nodded, and separated.

Kicks, punches, even slaps, it was admittedly difficult to defend when it was two against seemingly a thousand.

"Hey!" One Moebius member held you in an arm lock while another recoiled his fist, clearly aiming for your face.

You ducked and he punched his own member's face and you punched his stomach, both ending up on the ground.

"Huh, thought I'd have to help you out there."

A small smile appeared on your lips upon hearing Mitsuya's voice. "Took you long enough." You glanced at them and gave them a cheerful grin, although the scenery wasn't quite as 'cheerful' as you were making it out to be.

"What the hell...?" Takemichi looked around you, unconscious Moebius members lying at your feet with you still holding one by the neck.
You dropped him and he landed with a grunt.

You knelt down next to Draken and wiped some blood off his cheek. "Are you doing okay?"

"Just... tired. My head's killing me."

You reached into your pocket and paused. "Um... T-Takemichi..?" He handed you your small first aid kit and you handed Draken some pain killers. "Just take it easy."

Getting to your feet, you cracked your knuckles, your gentle aura from talking to Draken noticeably fading, as well as your smile.

"Peh-yan... tell me... what were you planning on doing again?"

"What? You think you can take them all down with the three of you?"

"Maybe not. But let me tell you something: the only thing worse than a strong man... is a pissed off woman."
