The Disappearance of Osomatsu-san Drabbles

Memories (Todo)

After Todo got hospitalized after he fainted in front of Maruka's house in the cold rain, he awoke with no memory from meeting Maruka to even having a conversation with her, only remembering that he had done all the groceries before passing out all of a sudden. When he asked his brothers why, Ichi came up with a bullshit excuse that Todo must have been so fatigued, and that he let himself get soaked in the rain. Todo believed it, since it came from Ichi who was logical and always calm no matter what the situation, but the pink-haired punk was unaware that Ichi made up the story right on the spot.

The purple-eyed male had told the rest of the brothers, not including Todo of course, about how dangerous it was to have Maruka near Todo. The brothers remembered that one day when they were having a picnic, in which Choro noticed that there was a pink-eyed girl watching him and Todo as they played with the rubber ball. They had to leave the park soon after, not wanting Todo to see her and remember her. It was harsh to keep Todo away from his real family, but Todo himself had stated that he never wanted to see them ever again. Plus, Todo was abandoned.

Why would they want him back, when Todo was already living happily with his brothers?

Ichi decided not to think much about it; he decided to bring his family to Flag Corporation today, after a certain incident regarding someone's pet owl and pet snake decided to do in the house, with the assistance of a cow and six chickens, which pretty much meant that the house was going to get cleaned for the time being. Ichi had hired a cleaning team and decided to let his family stay in Flag Corporation's building until the end of the day, because the house obviously smelled bad because of nine pets deciding to have a fight inside the house.

Ironically, Ginger was the only one who didn't contribute to the mess.

Ichi was at his office doing work, and Jyushi was in his old bedroom, deciding to play around with the stuff he had left at the top floor. Kara wanted to assist the employees, so he made snacks for them, something everyone was grateful for. Unfortunately, they had to keep Hana as far away from him as possible, as Hana was actually capable of eating everything in the tray. Choro was interested in what Flag Corporation had to offer to him at the library, so he decided to spend the day reading instead, often coming to Kara to get a snack or two. Oso followed Jyushi to the highest floor, just because Oso liked heights.

Todo stayed at the lobby, sitting on the sofa. He did chat with a few employees, mostly Yuki, but besides that, he decided to read every single magazine that was lying underneath the glass table, and use his phone for the time being. He was glad that Ichi was nice enough to actually have internet connection in this place. He also watched as clients walked in or out, and the most interesting thing he saw today was when someone walked in with seven statues of Hijirisawa Shonouske, and asked where to put it.

"Are you okay, Todo-san?" Todo looked up. Homura was offering him a foam cup that smelled like coffee. "It's sweetened. Hopefully, you're not bored. Sir Ichi is still doing work."

He took the cup of coffee. "Thanks, Homura. I'm fine, I'll probably go see what Jyushi and Oso are doing later, but I'm fine for now. Thanks for the coffee though. Are you working down here in the lobby?"

Homura smiled. She seemed to be getting over her shyness towards more and more people, and it was nice to see that working out for her. She was a nice girl, and most people at Flag Corporation knew that at this point. "No problem! I'm on my break, actually. Besides, the nice lady at the information desk needed a cup of coffee too, so I decided to bring some to her-"

She was interrupted when the sliding doors opened, and a group of three came in.

"Flag Corporation, I demand you to give me my son back!"

Homura froze. "Oh no." She quickly took out something from her pocket, her phone, and fumbled with the keys as she tried to make a call. "H-Hello?! Sir Ichi, it's Homura! There's that situation at the lobby again! And Todo-san is still here!"

Wait, what-

Immediately, the other employees of Flag Corporation marched up to Todo, and one of them covered his eyes with their hand. "Hey! What are you-?!" He managed to take a peek, and then he realized that the other employees were surrounding him with their backs turned, almost as if they were protecting or hiding him from something.

He heard Homura's voice, and surprisingly, she didn't stutter as she spoke. "Please leave. Our president is terribly busy at the moment."

"As if! Not when your bastard president has my son!" That was a woman's voice.

"..He's no longer your son, ma'am. He has a new family now. He's happier that way." Homura replied, voice slightly shaky.

"How dare you?!" It was a man this time.

"Sir, ma'am, please leave. We have work to do. Our president says he doesn't want to do anything regarding you, so-"

"Please just let me see my brother! Just this once!" A higher-pitched voice spoke, like a teenage girl's.

That voice is..!

Todo broke free from the grip and ran over to the front of the crowd, despite the other employees trying to stop him. When he got into the front of the crowd, Homura, and the nice lady at the information desk, were having an argument with a family of three; a mother, a father, and their daughter. While the mother was wearing a black dress and the father was wearing a black suit, the daughter was wearing what seemed to be a school uniform.

"What's going on here?!" Todo snapped.

Homura's head turned to his direction. "Todo-san! Please, go to another floor-!"

"That's Todo?!"

Todo had a frown as he looked at the woman and her husband, analyzing their looks. Both had black hair, the lady was wearing shades so he couldn't see what eye color she had, but the dad had brown eyes. As for the daughter, she also had black hair tied into a side ponytail, pink eyes-

He froze, feeling something cold brush against his cheek.

That girl.. she's..!

"TODO-SAN!"

Once again, everything blacked out.
