chapter nine: the hot tempered girl
DRAKEN'S P.O.V.
After the meeting ends and I walk away from my discussion with Y/N, I see Mikey wave me over with a childish grin on his face. I stand beside him with a question hot on my lips.
"What are we gonna do about this whole Otsuda thing?" I ask.
Mikey simply shrugs as he takes a moment to think over his answer. "There's probably only one thing left since that idiot Kisaki and your bestest friend Hanma aren't giving us much of a choice."
"Those assholes really have it out for us, don't they?" I sigh, to which he nods quietly.
"That isn't why I called you over here, though," he vaguely adds.
"What else is going on?"
"What do you think about having Y/N around?" he asks plainly.
I look across the room to where she's standing and almost immediately she spots me back. Quickly, I look down at the floor beside Mikey to avoid her gaze.
"What are you getting at?" I then inquire.
"Well, since you are the one who found out about her, I was only wondering if you trusted her," he explains.
"I've been thinking about that lately because at first I didn't trust her at all, but now I don't think there's anything else going on. I'm going to keep my eye on her still, but I don't sense any bad intent."
"Hm," he nods. "Is there anything else?"
"Like what?" I sigh, having enough of his senseless questioning.
"Well, what do you think about her?" he replies as he looks directly in her direction. Luckily, she doesn't notice him watching.
My body stiffens almost reflexively at his inquiry. "I mean she's pretty but she's got such a hot temper," I admit.
Mikey smiles slightly at my comment. "I only notice that when she's around you, actually."
My eyes widen as I begin to realize what he's insinuating. He should know that I'd never try anything with her, though. "Mikey, I can assure you that my only love will ever be your sister. I don't intend on making any such moves with Y/N."
He then nods and doesn't say anything more about the topic. Just because I spend time with her doesn't mean I've got any feelings for her. I mean, I only do that because I didn't trust her around anyone else since she could have been one of Otsuda's spies! Sure, I admit that she is quite pretty and it took me completely by surprise the second I realized it, but there's no way I'd want to hurt Mikey by being with someone besides Emma. I will always love her... but-
"Do you think we should begin to plan a war against the Otsuda gang?" Mikey then asks, pulling me from my thoughts.
"Yes," I sigh, knowing full well that many of us will get hurt should we go through with the war. "I think that would be in our best interest."
KISAKI'S P.O.V.
Y/N knocks on my door late in the evening and practically busts it down the second I open it. Where the hell have her manners gone? She's really been spending too much time with those idiots. I can tell she's angry about something, too, but I don't know what could be so damn serious. What problems does she have to deal with? Did she forget how to put her key in her door to unlock it?
"I was just at a Toman meeting and they're all pissed off because of you! What the hell, Tetta?!" she shouts way too loudly for my liking.
"Y/N, don't be a fool. There's going to be a war soon."
"No shit!" she still yells. "People are going to die because of you!"
I sigh as I pinch my nose under my glasses. I can't believe someone with the same blood as me could be so damn annoying.
"Things are beginning to get serious now and I need you to do a bit more. I told you that you were going to give me information about them and it's time you've started to deliver on that."
"Are you fucking kidding me?" she laughs like some kind of insane person. "What else could you possibly want from me?!"
"I need details, Y/N. Details so that Otsuda can have the upper hand. Remember that you are a part of Otsuda, not Toman, so you need to help me out."
She rolls her eyes at my command. I know she's made friends with Stupidmitchy and his idiot friends, but at the end of the day, you'd think she'd remember where her loyalty lies.
"Why do you need me to do it when you've got plenty of other spies?" she complains.
She must really love to test my patience. "Because, sister, the other spies are there to get caught. You are the real plan because nobody suspects you any longer, especially not after they found out what they believe is your true identity!"
Y/N groans and mumbles yet another complaint to herself as she takes a seat in my chair and places her hands on the top of her head, leaning over to think with that pea-sized brain of hers.
"Remember that you are only here because of me. Don't take this for granted," I remind her. "I could send you right back to the streets whenever I want!"
"Jesus, how many times are you going to hurl the same threat at me? Stop telling me, I know, alright?! I'll do it if you pull that damn stick out your ass that's been there for twenty-whatever years!"
I guess I'll take her word on that for now, I say to myself as I watch her leave in a huff. However, that's how she arrived so what do I care except for the way she carelessly slams my front door shut. But, as she does, I only hope that her small brain is capable of opening her own damn door when she gets there.
