HE'S MINE

099

"did you call Hanma?" I asked Yuzuha after getting in her car. She nodded and looked at me.

"Is it okay to be nervous?" she questioned, her hands shaking on the steering.

"I'm pretty scared myself," I admitted and tied the belt. We were headed towards the house, the house where I've spent my whole childhood, learned to love and hate too. Everything ends tonight and I will finally know if Shinichiro has anything to do with my parent's death.

"Is Yasuda and smiley on their way?" she questioned and I nodded before answering.

"yeah, they left before me," I replied and Yuzuha started the engine.

"I know you wouldn't wanna talk about it, but Sanzu did it to prevent you from pain. Emma and Shinichiro played him as well," she mumbled.

"I kissed Mikey!" she halted the engine with shock, "Sanzu saw us," I said and looked straight.She remained silent and then began to drive again. I wanted her to know that it was over and talking about it, it was only going to make things worse.

We reached the house and my heart started to beat like a drum. Mikey was standing outside waiting for us and Hanma too arrived a minute after us.

"Let's get inside," Mikey whispered and we all walked together. Entering the house was the hardest part, my skin felt goosebumps when I looked around. I have spent so many years in a lie and now I was back only to investigate more.

"Oh, um, you al---," Shinichiro, who didn't expect us to visit him before Sunday, stammered as he watched us all one by one.

"Bro, we will be here, watching movies," Mikey announced and we all have him a wide smile. I can tell that our smile crept him out. I noticed the windows being shut closed with planks.

"He is paranoid," Mikey whispered.

"But you guys planned to be here on Sunday!" the words left his mouth almost too quickly for him to take them back.

"But how do you know that bro?" Mikey, who has recently found out that his bro has never loved him, muttered but calmed himself quick and smiled.

"E---emma told me." he stammered and hesitated to look at my face, it appeared as we have ruined his plans.

"have a seat you all." he quickly regained his fake sweet posture and smiled. we took the seats and looked around.

"so what movie are you guys watching?" he held his hands together before his body and asked.

"suicide squad." Mikey mumbled and at the same time, I shouted, "isn't it romantic!" while Yuzuha said, "bird box" well you have no idea what Hanma yelled, "my sexy secretary." which I am guessing was a porn movie.

we all glared at Hanma, who held his hands over his mouth and hid behind us.

"suicide squad!" we quickly said again, he nodded like he has caught us and smiled.

"I will bring you cold drinks." he stated and my skin felt goosebumps.

"No! no thanks." we all shivered at the thought of his drugging us. weird how Shinichiro and I were acting as if we were strangers.

“why? Mikey will help me.” he smiled again, “come on, you can trust mikey.” he has this weird smile on his face that was creeping me out. he knew we were suspecting him of drugging us.

“yeah, that will be fine.” Mikey got up and rushed to the kitchen after his brother.

“what do we do now?” Yuzuha turned towards me in haste, “we can't drink it,” she added.

“he did it to turn Mikey against us, if we didn't drink it Mikey will suspect us.” I murmured and rubbed my forehead.

“where is Yasuda?” Hanma asked in the middle of our conversation and I looked at Yuzuha in confusion.

"she left before us, why isn't she here yet?" I asked myself, but a little too loud to be heard by them as well.

"Then where did she go?" Hanma questioned and we all looked at each other with no clue.

"There you go!" Mikey approached us and handed us the drinks, that we all just looked at for the next two minutes.

"What is wrong?" Shinichiro came out of the kitchen, Mikey sat with me and looked at us and then at his brother, "You guys don't trust Mikey?" he asked and Mikey quickly looked at my face, like waiting for me to respond. The problem here was that Mikey wanted to be on our side, but he was easily manipulated by his brother.

"Of course we all do, why wouldn't we?" I shivered and smiled hysterically. "There is nothing suspicious about these drinks." I laughed and when followed Shinichiro's stare, he was watching Hanma, who had his one eye almost drowning in the glass. We were watching the drink with his one eye closed.

"Hanma!" I yelled, getting his attention.

"If you guys trust him, drink it." he insisted again, he was still manipulating Mikey's mind and it was not going well for us.

"I poured it," Mikey reassured us, but I refused to drink it, my heartbeat was accelerating in my chest and my body shaking beyond my control.

"Oh! I thought my brother has finally found some friends who trust him." he faked a sad face and clicked his tongue. Mikey veered at me and watched my face, his eyes were asking me to prove it to this brother that I believe him.

"Y/n!" Mikey watched my face with disbelief, I didn't look in his eyes, I was not sure if I trust him or not, but I definitely wasn't going to trust Shinichiro, he could drug us through the glass, or what if the bottled he poured from having drugs?

"I---," I gulped and put the glass down, Shinichiro had a smile of triumph on his face when Mikey stepped back and got up. His eyes were watching me with sadness.

"I will go wash the utensils." he smiled in victory and left us in the lounge.

"really y/n?" Mikey mumbled and picked the glass from the table.

"Mikey don't," I warned, but his eyes were looking straight into mine. He gulped it down and placed the glass down, looking at my face.

"There was nothing in it, at least you should have trusted me," he added, Hanma and Yuzuha sighed and Hanma gulped it down too.

"you don't trust me?" Mikey questioned, looking through my eyes and the thunderstruck shook us all.
