Dusk & Dawn: A High & Low FanFiction: Todoroki Focus

Chapter Five

"Sota," I greeted keeping Riku slightly behind me.
"Mayumi," He greeted while glaring at me. "Why'd you bring the snakes with you?" I questioned glancing around at the men. "They're simply accompanying me to pick up my son," He spat. "Where's Haruto?" I questioned feeling the tension rise. "Busy," He stated stretching his hand towards Riku. "I want to stay with Auntie and Roki," Riku spoke holding onto me tighter. "Riku we're leaving now," Sota spoke ripping his hand from mine, causing Riku to fall. Tears quickly sprang from his eyes causing me to react quickly.
     Bending down pulling him up looking him over for injury while Roki had a glare off with Sota. "Keep him," Sota scoffed. "What?" I questioned confused. "I'll send in papers making you his legal guardian, I have no use for someone as weak as him, neither does Kuryu. Come by later to get his clothes," He spat before going to walk away. Before he could fully leave Roki sprung forward striking him in the jaw while I held Riku close to me. "That's for hurting Mayumi and this is for abandoning Riku," He spat striking him again. Sora gave him a glare while wiping the blood from his lip before leaving with his people. Roki glared at them the whole time they were leaving before turning back to me.
      His face quickly softening as he helped me up, before taking Riku into his arms. "Let's get you both home," He stated grabbing my wrist pulling me with him. The walk back was mostly silent apart from Riku sniffling and small whimpers. My heart broke hearing him in such pain, he won't have to feel that anymore though once everything is legalized. I won't let him be in such pain again, I'll protect him no matter what. Sighing I pulled out my phone while Roki opened the door. "I'll be in, in a minute," I stated getting a simple nod from him. Clicking on Shibaman's contact before running a hand through my hair.

"Yeah?" He answered.
"Where are you right now?" I questioned quickly.
"Walking around with Tsuji, Fujio, Tsukasa, and Jamuo. Why?" He spoke.
"Do you remember where my brother lives? Like how to get there." I spoke.
"Yeah I think," He stated.
"Can you meet me there please," I questioned.
"Sure but why not Todoroki?" He stated.
"I'm trying to prevent a murder that's why," I huffed before ending the call.

Quickly peeking my head in the door seeing Roki tending to Riku's scrapes on the couch. "I'm going to get his things, don't worry I'm not going alone," I stated before leaving. Quickly I walked off before he had the chance to stop me. Walking down the streets until finally I saw the boys walking towards me. "Mayumi!" Fujio called while waving to me. Smiling I waved back before rounding the corner.
My expression changed the moment my eyes landed on Sota. Watching him push Haruto around before he punched him square in the face. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO BE WEAK! THERE'S NO PLACE FOR WEAKLINGS IN MY FAMILY OR KURYU!" Sota seethed while holding Haruto by the collar. Balling my hands into fist and clenching my jaw, snapping my eyes over at the guys that seemed to wear the same expression. "Jamuo go to my place we'll be there soon," I spoke before moving forward. Like the speed of light I was shoving Sota away while Tsuji took Haruto.
"YOU WILL NOT ABUSE OUR BROTHER OR MY SON!" I shouted holding him by his collar. "You pathetic imbecile," He seethed pushing me away. "Riku is now my son, you best keep away. Same goes for Haruto, stay the fuck away from him! I'll collect their clothes then I'll be leaving. But so help me Sota if you do anything to either of them or anyone else I care about, I'll walk through hell and high waters to bring you down. We've taken Kuryu down before don't make us have to do it again," I spat shoving past him. "DON'T THREATEN ME YOU LITTLE BITCH!" He shouted grabbing my hair, pulling me back. "Tsuji taking Haruto inside to get his and Riku's things," I stated while Sota kept ahold of me.
Once they safely went in I threw my elbow back into Sota's gut, while grabbing him throwing him over my shoulder. "Who's weak now?" I spat watching him lay there groaning. "Mom and dad," He started. "Mom and Dad would be ashamed of the person you've become Sota. You're not the son they raised or the man, you're just a coward," I seethed while eyeing him. Snapping my head towards the house as Tsuji and Haruto came out with a few bags of clothes and things needed. "Don't worry brother I'll take care of them," I stated before we took our leave. Once away from the house I stopped turning to Haruto. Seeing the blood on his lip, the cuts on his cheek, and the black eye forming. Sighing I walked over to the convenience store across the way. Grabbing some snacks, drinks, and bandages before paying.
"Here it's your favorite," I spoke handing him an ice cream. Quickly his smile found his face again and his youthful energy returned. "Come on kid let's get home and I'll bandage your wounds," I spoke ruffling his hair. "Not a kid," He huffed electing a chuckle from all of us. "You're younger than all of us, you're a kid," Tsuji joked ruffling his hair. Shaking my head I lead us the rest of the way back. Rounding the corner into the apartment building seeing a stressed out looking Roki pacing out front. "Oi Roki!" I called causing him to snap his head over. And just like that I was wrapped in a hug before I had the chance to react. "Don't leave like that again," He whispered keeping me close. Wrapping my arms around him while smiling. "I was just trying to prevent you murdering my brother," I stated.
     A small scream left me as he picked me up without warning causing the other to snicker. "Now you're going to rest and I'll take care of everything else," He spoke taking us inside. Gently sitting me on the couch next to Riku who was peacefully sleeping. Looking around seeing Jamuo standing in the kitchen. "Why's he here?" Roki questioned pointing over to Haruto. "He's staying here. Sota disowned him and was beating him when I got there," I sighed. Getting a simple nod in return while he turned around walking into the kitchen with the bag I had been holding. The others quickly finding places to sit while my eyes followed Roki.
     Watching him work his way around the kitchen. Putting things away, taking things out he did it so strategically that it caused me to chuckle. A smile spread on my face watching him move about preparing things, paying no attention to anything else.
      "I think she's in love," Shibaman whispered. "I think he is too," Tsuji replied. "Why would they be in love?" Jamuo questioned. "Shut up you're gonna ruin the moment," Fujio snapped. Tsukasa simply shaking his head and snickering. "All of you idiots ruined the moment," Haruto chuckled.
      Smiling I got up making my way into the kitchen. Standing behind Roki before wrapping my arms around him. "Thank you for being here and for all you've done," I whispered before pulling away. Turning around he looked down at me giving a small smile. Bending down to my ear before I felt his breath. "We'll talk more when the idiots leave," He whispered causing me to laugh. Giving him a nod causing him to pat my head before pointing back to the couch. Smiling I went back to sit down seeing all the cheeky grins the guys were giving.
"What?" I questioned confused. "It's weird seeing you two act so soft," Tsuji scoffed. Rolling my eyes I sat down in my spot giving his arm a light slap. "It's only weird cause you have no one to do it with," I remarked. "You forgot about my wounds," Haruto interjected before Tsuji could reply. "Get the bandages from the bag and the first-aid kit in the bathroom," I spoke moving to the edge of the couch. Quickly he came back sitting on the small table handing me everything needed.
Quickly I took out a q-tip soaking it in cleaner before gently dapping the blood away. Muttering sorry every time he winced. Pulling out bandages gently putting them where ones were needed. "All done, get the ice from the freezer. Hold it on your eye for about ten minutes then move it down to your cheek for another ten. It'll help with the swelling," I stated with a smile.
Nodding he did as I said. Putting everything away before grabbing the ice and coming to sit. Roki coming into the room with a snack plater he made up along with the drinks I had grabbed. Spreading everything out on the small table, before sitting down in front of me.
Smiling I bent forward reaching for a cracker when one with cheese and meat was shoved into my mouth. Stopping what I was doing looking down seeing Roki smiling at me. Feeling my face heat up as my heart raced. Dear god what is this boy doing to me. Quickly sitting back chewing the food while the others looked between us. "Excuse me for a moment," I spoke carefully getting up before racing upstairs.
Going into my room all but slamming my door shut, pushing myself against it. Placing a hand on my chest while taking slow breaths. Okay heart we can calm down anytime now. There's no need to be so flustered it was just food. Food that he fed me in front of our friends, while sitting in front of me smiling. Oh god no, I'm falling for him.
I was snapped out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. "Can I come in?" Roki questioned from the other side. Quickly stepping back opening the door while pulling him inside before closing it again. Looking up at him still with a flushed face. "Sorry if I startled you or anything," He spoke while eyeing me. "That's not the issue Roki," I whispered looking down at my feet while playing with my hands.
"Then was is," He questioned moving closer to me. His feet now right in front of mine. Thinking over the words in my head I kept quiet for a while. Until his hand gently pulled my head up to face him. "Tell me Yumi," He spoke making me blush at the nickname.
"I think I'm falling for you," I whispered not breaking eye contact with him. God he's so close. Chuckling he gave me a small smile while eyeing me. "I've already fallen for you," He whispered.
