My legs practically hurt while walking from Cobra's apartment. My lips were pursed as I entered the place I shared with Akumu and Bunko. Both sitting on the couch.

"Where were you last night Takeshi?" Bunko's voice cut through the air like a knife, a tinge of worry carried with her tone. 

"I was with someone," I sigh as I push my hair out of my face. "Besides, why does it matter where I was?" 

"We were just worried Takeshi." Akumu spoke up, she was still wearing her night gown, the flower pattern clinging to her skin. 

I walk past them, my legs aching with every movement. I grunt as my door closes and I slum down, breathing slowly. I still couldn't get that moment out of my mind. Rocky with a girl on his couch with me crying in his arms. Such weakness. I tap on the floor with my nails, thinking of what to do. 

As if to disturb my silence, a dinging noise came from my phone. A message. I grumble as I shove my hand in my pocket to grab my phone. By the time I open the message, I pray and hope that it isn't Rocky or Cobra. 

My eyes trace the name of the contact, or rather lack of. The only thing there is are numbers. Who would have gotten my number? A hundred ideas flooded my brain. Reading the message, I can quickly decipher it isn't someone I know.

Yami Hoshi Takeshi.

Sorry, who is this?

1898 Moshui LN. 20:00. Be there.

What makes you think I'll trust some random ass person messaging me an address and a time without telling me their name?

You know me. Be there.

My phone dims as I read the last text again. You know me? Who the hell types that? I push myself up off the floor and walk out of my room towards the front door. 

"I'll be back later, I have to meet someone." I spoke quickly. 

"This isn't going to be like the previous night is it?" Bunko's voice yelled from the bathroom. 

"Nope!" I said, closing the door behind me as I left. 

I had been sitting here for an hour straight

I had been sitting here for an hour straight. Nothing to do except look at my surroundings and scroll through my phone. It was 21:00. An hour after the meetup time. My eyes had felt heavy as I waited. 

"Didn't think you would show." I spoke as someone walked out of the trees that surrounded the little place. They hesitate to take another step, clearly confused on how I knew they were there. 

"Well, I thought I would be out earlier than expected, turns out they held me there for another two hours," the person got closer, a red jacket of some sort glowed in the light. I squinted, trying to get a closer look at their face. "I heard that the infamous Takeshi was back, and not for the reason I thought." 

"Two questions. Who are you and what was your reason?" 

"I figured you would have been back in SWORD to take down Kohaku's group, MUGEN." He stopped, face still out of the light. He cracks his neck before walking into the light. "Norihisa Hyuga." 

My eyes go wide, I couldn't believe it. The man that I have wanted to speak to this whole time turns out to get to me first. My thoughts are loud and processing as I stare at him. He doesn't move. He just stands there, staring right back at me. 

"Cat got your tongue, Hoshi? I didn't think someone of your," he pauses, "personality would be taking a long time to say something. But I shouldn't be surprised, you came back to SWORD just to find your deadbeat of a brother? That is quite pathetic." 

I hop down from the place I was sitting, staring him dead in the eye as I get closer. "You'd best shut your mouth you god damn piece of shit. At least I didn't get my ass kicked by MUGEN and lose my status." 

He swings, his punch missing my face by inches as I kick him in the side. 

"You're just a girl." He coughs as he stumbles to his knees before getting up. 

"Just because I'm a girl, doesn't mean I won't kick your ass." I hiss. "Besides, you might as well start doing the walk of shame, Norihisa." 

With that I notice three people on their way to stop or potentially help him, I turn and hightail it out of there. 

So sorry for the long ass time before I put out this chapter! I was so busy with everything going on
