Blueberry-flavored Revenge

十五 Of Who We Belong To

Flood Control

"And I believe she already knew about that because I told her many times", a voice interrupted the two. "Reiji-san?!", Airi was startled and Mitsuya removed his hand as well. "I was calling you for the last 30 minutes but you weren't answering. I just happened to pass by", Reiji gave a smile to Airi. "Sorry, Reiji-san. By the way, this is Taka-", Airi was interrupted. "Takashi Mitsuya, sorry for cutting you off. I just met him on so many occasions", Reiji cleared his throat and grab on Airi's wrist. "Let's go. Hazuki might be waiting for us", he looked at his watch. 

"See you around, Takashi-san", Airi bowed and followed after Reiji who was silently leading her to get out of the place as soon as possible. 

Mitsuya was left watching them get away. "I thought I saw you with a lady. I was about to throw confetti at your face but I guess I was at the right time. How can he steal your lady in front of you", Draken walked closer and scratched his nape. "She's not mine", Mitsuya let out a small laugh and faced his friend. "Tell me, Draken. What made you go back to the life of being a delinquent. We were already disbanded. If there would be a leader that you would follow, I know it will always be Mikey but with what he's become, I don't blame you for bowing your head to others", Mitsuya leaned on the flood control wall and so did with Draken. "I didn't join Brahman because I am bowing my head to Kawaragi. I'm doing this to save Mikey", the lad explained his actions. "Be careful, Draken. You're dealing with two dangerous gang", Mitsuya warned. 

High School

Classroom

Airi looks outside the window. She felt something cold on her cheeks. "That's cold!", she was startled. "What's with the long face?", Hakkai smiled and handed the lady the drink. "Here comes the first year's prince", Shira sat beside Airi. Hakkai felt embarrassed. "Then, how's music club doing?", Airi asked Shira. "Doing great. We're going to have a concert for the school festival. We're preparing as early as now", the lady answered peeking since Hakkai was a huge blockage. "How about you, Hakkai-kun. Have you already decided whether you'd join volleyball or basketball?", Airi turned her attention back at the tall lad. "I don't know. They don't give as much thrill and there's so many girls watching during practices", he sighed. "You have to get use to it. When you'd become a hot shot model in the future, you'd be working closely with beautiful female model", Airi chuckled. 

"Hara-san. You are needed in the clinic", a student called her. She stood and looked at her friends. "See you later, the doctor is needed", she waved and left. 

"Doctor, I see, she already knows what she wants to do for the future", Shira smiled. "She's good in tending wounds. When she helped me and my sister few years ago, her hands felt gentle and kind", Hakkai recalled. "It's quite strange that you still remember how her touch felt", Shira teases. "No way. Hara like someone and I cannot measure up with that person", Hakkai shook his head. 

Clinic

"I'm here", Airi raised her hand and saw the school nurse cleaning the wounds of a student. There are few more students seated on the clinic bed. "You can help me in cleaning their wounds. They had a brawl and it became a little violent", the school nurse explained. The lady just nodded and went to wash her hands. After preparing the wound dressing, she recalled something in the past. 

Mitsuya's blood was flowing from his head. Takemichi and the rest were badly hurt as well but Mitsuya took a lot of beating. Still, he was able to maintain a gentle look on his face. If Mikey didn't arrive to help them, she knew it would have been worse. 

"Ouch!", one of the students winced in pain. "You wouldn't have these wounds if you decided not to brawl in the first place!", the school nurse scolded them. They were finally able to patch their wounds and were left alone. 

"Hara, I think will do good in the medical profession. Planning to be a doctor?", the nurse asked. Airi looked at herself at the mirror. "Who knows what will become of me but I wouldn't dislike being one", she nodded.  

Street

Shira and Airi talked about the upcoming field trip. "Do you think I can also bring my hamster with me?", Shira pouted. "I don't think that's possible. You know Iki-san is scared of rats", Airi shrugged. "The guy you told me about is great in taking care of animals. My hamster was sick for three days and the clinic took care of it well", Shira gave a thumbs up. "Matsuno-san", Airi introduced the person. "You've come to know a lot of people ever since. I guess you and your brother share the same blood", Shira nodded in agreement of what she said. 

A trashcan was thrown on their side. They froze in shock. They looked on the side and saw gangs brawling. They are wearing black coats and purple jumpsuit. "Let's get out of here", Airi held on Shira's hand. "My brother", Shira squinted her eyes and recognized someone. His brother is being stomped at by their enemy. "We should not interfere into their battle. We'll wait for the fight to finish and we'll tend your brother's wounds", Airi knew that jumping into the scene will caused them trouble. 

"What are you looking at?!", one gang member in purple suit got his face wrinkled and pushed Airi making her fall on the ground. "Hey!", Shira shouted and received a slap on the face. "Don't hurt a woman", a voice came from behind the gang member who attacked the two. He fell on his knees as he was punched on the gut by someone. "Draken-kun", Airi was startled to see him wearing Brahman's uniform. 

Park 

The two sat on the bench. Shira assisted her brother to head back home. "Mitsuya told me that he's joining me but I stopped him right away. He's got a good future in front of him. Just this week, he was nominated to join one major competition for fashion and designing. I couldn't be any prouder of him", Draken smiled. "Then, does that mean you would have to face Mikey-kun as an enemy this time? I tried to ask my brother about him and he mentioned that he created Kantou Manji Gang. That explains why I never saw him these years, he moved", Airi pressed her lips. "He kept pushing us away as if he's running away from us. There might be something he's going through. Something he doesn't know how to explain to us", the lad stood and looked back at Airi. 

There's a dark impulse inside me. 

"There's nothing else I can do for Mikey-kun but I will always pray for his welfare. Draken-kun, keep safe as your try to save him", she gave a weak smile. The blonde smiled and reached out to pat her in the head. "I will, do the same. You're so prone in appearing in dangerous places", the lad chuckled. "I don't want to sound so reckless but whenever I'm faced with danger, you guys will suddenly appear", she laughed with Draken. While walking out of the park, they reminisced the past particularly talking about Emma. 

"The memory of her laughter will always keep me going", Draken said before the two separate paths. 

Hara's Residence

Airi entered and smelled something coming from the kitchen. "Is the world going to end tomorrow?", Airi peeked and saw Hazuki baking something. "You know nothing about being in love", he hummed. The black haired lady chuckled and recalled the beautiful lady last time. "Kawaragi-san?", Airi mentioned the name making Hazuki look at her. "Don't laugh", he said with an embarrassed face. "You are fortunate enough to be in love. Introduce me well to Kawaragi-san once you started going out", the lady lazily waved her hand. "Then, you have my support?", the lad's eyes brightened. "It's your decision. Who am I to stop you?", Airi sighed. "Reiji gave the opposite reaction", Hazuki sighed as well. "He's probably pitying Kawaragi-san in advance for the misfortune you will be smearing in her life", the sister pulled out her tongue. 

"Misfortune?! She will be the most fortunate woman once she goes out with me", Hazuki said with conviction making Airi know that his brother is really serious. "Yes, yes. I'll ask Reiji-san to close his eyes and just be happy for you and Kawaragi-san", Airi continued teasing Hazuki.
