Toman's Little Sister

38 | A True Parent

You scribbled down the word "saved" under Taiju's picture and connected Kisaki and Yuzuha, putting a picture of a knife next to Yuzuha's picture. "It's like every inconvenience was controlled by him." You muttered to yourself.

He told Kazutora to kill Baji.

He told Yuzuha to kill Taiju.

You looked down at Pah's picture, which was labelled "juvie," and then at Kisaki's picture. "Hey Mikey!" You called, lifting the mattress over the bulletin board.

"Yeah?"

"I'll head out, okay?" You walked into the foyer, seeing Mikey seated in the kitchen, and put your hand on his head to tell him you were leaving. "Bye bye."

"Bye." You slipped on your shoes and threw on your jacket and you were out the door.

You made your way to Osanai's shop and waved when you got inside. "Oh, Y/N." He took the nails held between his teeth out of his mouth. "Do you need anything?"

"Yeah, actually. You said that Kisaki was the one who told you to do... everything, right? So, do you think he managed to manipulate Pah?"

He shrugged. "Probably. That guy's a real intellect, so he could manipulate anybody if he wanted to. Scary, these young guys rising to the top are."

"Indeed." You placed ¥100 on the piece of furniture he was working on. "Thanks. Happy New Year." And you walked out of the store.

You sighed, looking up at the sky for a moment. "What does Kisaki want with my gang?" You asked yourself aloud. Somehow, it was related to Hina, otherwise she wouldn't be dead in every future that you could get to.

Come on, Y/N. It's New Year's Eve tomorrow.

You returned to Mikey's house and was immediately greet by nearly tripping over Tora. "Oi, be careful!" You picked up the cat and stared at him. "You..."

"Y/N-chin, your phone began ringing not long ago."

You raised a brow and made your way to the guest room, spotting your phone on the table. You picked it up and looked at the missed call. Wait, that's...!

You typed in the phone number again and held it to your phone. "...Hello?"

"Oh, Y/N. I wasn't expecting you to call back."

"I wasn't expecting you to call me... mom."

"Right. Um, about your father—"

"If you're talking about the man that's living in the house that I was in first, then that's not my father."

"Right, sorry. That man was caught cheating on me... so he doesn't live here anymore."

For some reason, a deep anger began to grow in your chest. "He... cheated?"

"Y-Yeah."

"So that's why you sound... more vulnerable." You balled your hand into a fist, although you were trying to keep your voice calm.

"Do I? I'm sorry."

"Nah, I'd react the same if I caught my significant other cheating on me."

"Oh, do you have a significant other?"

"No, of course not. The gang wouldn't let me have one either way." You squinted. "So... who was he cheating on you with?"

"Some lady from work. The, uh, boss's secretary."

"Of course it was a damn secretary." You muttered through your teeth. "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine... I supposed you want to rub it in?"
