Takemichi ran as fast as he can towards the pet shop, a massive grin on his face, him holding good news. It was quite a shock that it was easy doing this, and he thought it'll be dangerous and difficult like what he and Naoto did in the last time travels. 

Once he reached the entrance of the shop, he took some deep breaths before slamming the door open, much to Kazutora and the cat he's holding surprises. They both flinch by the big thud the door made.

"Kazutora-kun!" Takemichi called, breathing heavily from running nonstop.

The said male turned around and the cat meowed softly, "Takemitchy?"

"We're meeting Mikey at 5 pm."

"..." His golden orbs then widen when he realized what he just said. "WHAT?!"

"Bitches we have good news!" Kazutora announced with a big smile on his face as he opened the door towards the store's office. By his loud voice and sudden shout, Chifuyu and Baji's whole body shook. The two then looked at him, ready to punch the shit out of him. Takemichi was just behind Kazutora, holding the cat the latter was holding earlier. (He gave it to him so he could slam the door down where Baji and Chifuyu were.)

"Don't scream! Jeez," Chifuyu growled as he ran his fingers through his raven hair.

"Hehe, sorry. Just very happy," Kazutora scratched the back of his neck. 

Baji was seated in front of the desk, arm resting on the edge, "What's all the ruckus?"

"Takemitchy here has a meeting with Mikey later~"

Silence. Until...

"WHAT?!" Baji and Chifuyu stood up in unison. "HOW?!"

Kazutora looked at Takemichi, still holding the smile he had earlier, "Mind doing the honours?"

"Well," Takemichi began, tilting his head to the side and looking around to avoid eye contact. he then ran his fingers through his messy black hair. "Naoto just got his number and ta-da, we have contact with him."

"HOW THOUGH?!" Chifuyu stated.

"Woah, easy," Baji held Chifuyu's shoulders firmly and pushed him down to let him sit down.

"I don't know as well," Takemichi chuckled. 

"That doesn't matter," Baji smiled. "What time will you be going?"

"What? You're coming with me."

"HAH?!"

"Chifuyu, calm down," Baji panicked.

"I think he's on drugs nowadays," Kazutora jested. "That aside, we'll be meeting Mikey by 5 pm, so let's close this shop early."

"Alright," Baji stood up, grabbing one last glance at Chifuyu to check if he was okay, before walking away and getting ready to close the shop.

"What's going on!?" Shinichiro slammed his head on the desk, letting his arms fall by his side. He was by his office, by the desk in the middle of the large room, and an extensive window was behind him, with the view of the city. The room was decorated in gothic colours, maroon, gold, and black painted everything. This wasn't Shinichiro's style, at all. He preferred more subtle and fine colours like white or brown.

Mikey was seated by the burgundy velvet chair available meters away from his older brother's desk. There were two actually, and he was seated at the right side. He took a bite from his taiyaki and shrugged, "I don't know as well."
