  Being a part of the gang was sort of irritating, even if you weren't at the meetings most of the time. Their leader always found ways to find you and inform you of things— and if he couldn't, he would just send someone else to find you.

In a way... he kind of reminded you of the flame pillar; Rengoku.

So when you turned out of the alleyway you were walking through, you weren't surprised to find a familiar Vice-president.

"Hey Tomioka," He greeted while pushing away from the wall he was leaning on."Mikey wanted me to tell you that the fight is tomorrow. Y'know, between Valhalla and Toman."

You thought about it and figured you would show up, albeit you wouldn't be wearing their uniform. You wouldn't wear any uniform other than the one that represented the demon slayer corps.

"Thank you for telling me, I'll see to it that I come." You nodded again and was about to take off when a sudden thought came to mind.

"Oh, and how is it that you keep finding me?" you asked, observing how Draken turned back to you with a deadpanned expression.

To those around both of you, your bodies seemed to become chibis with a question mark above one and sweat dripping excessively off the other.

Do they really not know...? Draken thought before laughing and turning back to walk away. "You're funny, Tomioka. See you at the battle." He waved and you could only watch in confusion.

Why did he laugh? Did I say something funny? Maybe I did.

And with that, you decided to just leave and maybe find someplace to get some (favorite food) before night.

Arriving at the place the fight was supposed to be, you saw that you were the first one of toman there. Because of this, you simply stood by one of the entrances, waiting to see if anyone you recognized would show up.

You made sure to strap your Nichirin sword onto your back before coming, hiding it behind your mismatched Haori to avoid suspicion.

"Oh~? I wonder what kind of gang you belong to, pretty." A sultry voice sounded from behind you, only to be ignored. "The silent type, are we? That's okay, makes you even more mysterious." A hand reached out to touch your shoulder but you moved out of the way of its path.

"Hah! It seems like you're not beloved by all, brother." Another male came up from behind the other, his hair blonde with blue streaks, while the other had hair that rotated between black and blonde. "Don't worry rindou, this is how some of them start out." the seemingly older one smiled at you before walking away. "Come on, I wanna sit down. See you later, pretty~!"

As the left, they spared you one last glance, the same question's floating throughout their mind.

What gang were you in? And who were you?

"Hey! Tomioka, right?" A new voice comes up after a few minutes. It was the blond you saw step up at that meeting. He was walking in what seemed like a messy version of a school uniform with another blond following after him.

"You're the fifth division co-captain, Aren't you supposed to have a uniform or something?"

"..."

"..."

"I-I'm sorry...." His face turned a red hue when he got no response before he turned to his companion. They talked for a few minutes before being silenced by some male calling out the gangs.

"Representatives step forward!!" The male yelled and you watched quietly as Draken stepped up, along with a black and yellow-haired male.

"Hey, you gonna be alright?" Muchos' voice came up from beside you where he was standing. He didn't know if you could fight or not but that's not what he really cared for. No, What he wanted to know for sure was that you wouldn't go and use that sword you have— even if it was strapped to your back.

He already has to deal with that with Haruchiyo.

"Do not worry about me. Focus on the battle before you." you said, not caring about the males' worry.

And just like that, The two gangs ran towards each other and the fight started.

Sorry for being gone for so long and only coming back with a short chapter💀. But I'm working on the fight as soon as I post this so hopefully that comes quicker!
