"How did he get me into coming here?" Karasu mumbled as she stood in front of the bar Tatara had talked so much about whenever they had lunch at the playground.

"I'm an idiot for listening to that idiot in the first place." She said to herself walking up the front steps when the door opened showing her ever smiling friend.

"Your finally here! Come on in!" He grabbed her hand fragging her through the doors.

"H-hey! No pulling idiot!" The door shut behind them, all eyes were on them or rather on her. Karasu was confused about that. It couldn't be the outfit she was wearing since it's just a red V-neck short sleeve shirt, black capris and black converse with her hair up in a bun with a few loose strands framing her face.

"So this is the girl you were telling us about, Totsuka? Boys?" A man with blonde hair questioned from standing behind the bar cleaning a glass cup.

"Beautiful red..." Karasu turned to see the same little girl from the other day looking at her from the couch. Karasu  blinked before smiling at the red eyes girl ruffling her hair, causing the girl to smile.

"Mikoto." The girl said looking over at the red haired man who has been watching the two girls the whole time. Icy blue eyes clashed with fiery amber eyes.

"King! This is Karasu Nishi! She's the one I've been telling you about." Tatara said sitting beside Anna who looked at him then back at Karasu. Anna held her arms up at the brown haired woman who picked her up into her arms. Anna looked at Karasu before laying her head on her shoulder.

"Please tell me she doesn't do this with strangers?" Karasu looked at the men in the bar.

"Anna isn't like this except with Mikoto." The Izumo said smiling at the scene in front of him. Karasu placed Anna back down on the floor only for her to be pulled by her hand towards the couch where Mikoto was sitting on. Karasu sat down beside him as Anna laid down resting her head on Karasu's lap.

"Must be a Strain thing, huh?" Tatara mumbled before standing up making everyone look at him as he rushed upstairs.

"Are you a Strain, Karasu?"

"Yes. I'm what you call a Beta Strain." Karasu said looking at Izumo. Everyone was shocked by this.

"I found it!" Tatara appeared with a video recorder.

"That's not fair! You promised you wouldn't!"

"I don't remember saying that. Are you sure I said that?" Tatara grinned as Karasu glared at him as he recored not only her but Anna and Mikoto.

"You guys look like a family- ow! That really hurt, Kara!" Tatara whined rubbing his head as he picked up a shoe from the floor that belonged to Karasu.

"Idiot." Tatara pouted giving Karasu her shoe back to her.

"Your so mean to me, Kara. I thought we were friends."

"Keep whining and I'll hit you again, brat." Karasu threaten tying her shoe.

"I'm older then you remember?" Tatara pointed out making his friend glare at him.

"Act like your age then."

"So mean.."

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" Karasu rolled her eyes as Tatara went back to recording. Karasu looked at Anna who was looking back at her. Anna laid her head back on her lap which Karasu ran her fingers through her hair causing Anna to close her eyes falling asleep.

"Cute."

"Sh-shut up.." Karasu said moving the camera away from her as she had a small blush on her cheeks. Izumo chuckled as he watched Tatara continue to record Karasu and Anna.
