It was the day after the disastrous meeting, and Sakura was leaving her apartment to open up the shop and meet with Mikey. It was 5:30 am, and she wasn't expecting Mikey to come until later in the day, so she had some free time to kill fixing up some bikes.

Aiko was still sleeping at Sakura's apartment, so she left a note and breakfast in the kitchen for her, informing her of when she would be back.

Once Sakura arrived at the shop and unlocked the doors, she went into the backroom to change into her work clothes. Although they weren't mandatory for all her employees, she wore them since it was a lot better getting oil on her work clothes than her everyday clothes.

After changing, Sakura started working on her first bike, which was for a neighbor who had been complaining that the bike wouldn't start. Luckily, it was just a blown fuse, so all she had to do was fix the wiring, and it didn't take her too long.

As she was getting started on the second bike, she heard the bell ring, signaling that somebody had come into the store.

"I'll be out there in a second!" she yelled, cleaning her hands before leaving the back room.

"Hi! How can I help yo- Oh, it's you. Why are you here so early?" It was Mikey. He was here very early, and it was only 6:30 am.

"It doesn't matter. Are you free right now?" Mikey asked. He looked like he didn't get any sleep, based on his eye bags. His eyes reminded Sakura of that time when they talked about Shinichiro. He looked broken.

"Yeah, follow me." Sakura took him to the back room. "I still have to work, so we might as well just talk while I'm working," she said, going back to the bike.

"Are you gonna keep Kisaki in your gang?" she asked.

"No." He replied quickly, "I already made my decision last night after seeing how he was acting. I told him to leave and never come back right after you left."

His answer surprised her a bit, though she didn't let it show. She kind of expected him not to have an answer ready yet. She was glad that he decided to kick Kisaki out. Even though she never really was going to go through with her threat. Like she said before, Mikey was like a little brother to her, and even if she stopped the alliance, she would still protect him, for her and for Shinichiro. That included Emma too, even if they weren't that close.

"Good, did the Moebius members leave with him?"

"Surprisingly, only a few left with Kisaki. We still have 75 who want to join Toman and Blossom. Forty-five of them requested to be under you as an official member of Blossom instead of Toman. Do you want to take them?" he asked.

"It's up to you. If you're okay with many of them wanting to join me, then I'm fine with it. I could have the new members join the 1st and 2nd divisions."
