Toman's Little Sister

33 | The Mind

Once again, you stood in front of your bulletin board and took down one of the pictures. It was a picture of Hakkai.

With a quiet hum, just under your breath, you closed your eyes and thought long and hard.

How would this be put in Kisaki's favour?

"Kisaki admired Mikey."

You opened your eyes, staring at the picture of Kisaki on your board that was cut out of a newspaper. "Perhaps..." You tapped your chin. "Is his goal making Toman the biggest gang in Japan?"

"Kisaki's aiming for second in command." Osanai said to you.

"Second in command..." You tapped your foot.

That goal does seem to line up. But if he wanted to be the largest gang in Japan, he has full capability to make his own gang himself. Does he just believe in the title of 'Invincible Mikey'? And if he does want to make the largest gang in Japan, then what does Hina-chan have to do with it?

"Y/N-chin?"

You quickly pulled up the mattress so it leaned on the wall over the bulletin board, sitting down in front of it and opening the nearest book. "Come in!"

He walked inside and tilted his head. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah...?"

"Any strategies for anything?"

You looked down for a moment, closing your book slowly. "Nope! I've been focusing on adding Hakkai's info into the Black Dragons and seeing how they go together."

"Oh."

There was a long, awkward pause, before Mikey turned around and said, "Gramps and Emma are waiting at the table. He said you should come and eat."

You gave a single nod and smiled at him. "I'll be there in a minute."

"Okay." He closed the door and you heard his retreating footsteps get quieter and quieter. Once it went completely silent, you sighed and leaned on the wall, looking up at the ceiling with tired eyes.

His mind is such a confusing place. What does he want with Hina? Whatever it is, what does it have to do with Mikey? With Toman?  Why does he keep killing Hina in the future?

You finally stood up and brushed off your pants, making your way to the dining room. "Sorry for being late." You said, bowing your head and sitting down beside Emma.

"It's fine! But that big brain needs a lot of food, as long as those muscles!" Mikey's grandpa pushed a plate full of food across the table and you smiled down at it. "Thanks..."

"Grandpa, the plate is too full!"

"Don't worry about it, Emma-chan."

Mikey's grandpa laughed in triumph. "See? Gramps knows what he's talking about!" His face suddenly softened. "Have your parents tried to find you at all?"

You sipped water, staring down for a moment. I haven't even thought about that. At all. "No, they haven't. I'm sure my mom is simply thinking that it's safer somewhere other than their house."

Emma squinted her eyes, not in suspicion, but in annoyance. "Your mom isn't supposed to put some dude she met at work over her own daughter!"

You let out a quiet chuckle. "Well... that's how it is." You looked up at Mikey, seeing him cut his steak with one of the knives rested on the table.

You stared at it for a moment, suddenly beginning to shake.

"No!"

You took a deep breath and Emma looked over. "Y/N-chan?"
