Denial and Betrayal - Fushimi Saruhiko x OC

Chapter 12

"The phone is ringing. No one's here?" Saruhiko wondered as he stepped inside the bar the next day.

"So noisy who's gonna pic-"
"!" He stopped abruptly as he noticed someone, Mikoto-san sitting on the couch at the side.

"What a pain, it's been ringing forever."
"Hang it up." He demanded.

"Got it."

"Can't you get it yourself?" He muttered, approaching the phone.
"Are you a king or what?"
"Oh wait you are."

"Good afternoon, this is bar Homra."
"The bar owner is not here right now, if there's anything urgent, please dial his PDA."

"My, my, isn't this the hidden weapon user-kun?" The voice from the other side asked.

"Muna-!"

"I was calling bar Homra, did I have the wrong number?"
"Since I dialed the bar's number listed in the yellow pages, I think it won't pose a problem."
"It's open to the public, isn't it?"

"Won't pose a problem?"
"There's definitely a problem here." Saruhiko grumbled.
"What's that king thinking?"
"Is he lacking in common sense?"

"About that matter the other day..." The Blue King began, when a tall shadow loomed over Saruhiko and snatched the phone from his hand, hanging it up, and throwing it to the side.

"I told you to hang up."
"I had a bad feeling, even the ring tone felt sinister."

"You knew all along?" Saruhiko questioned.
"That the one calling was the Blue King?"

"Maybe." Was the reply.

"I think he wanted to talk about the twins." Saruhiko said.
"We can't keep them upstairs forever, unless if they want to become your clansmen."

"They'll end up burned to a cinder." The King said, lighting a cigarette in his mouth.

"I'm afraid so..."

In Homra there's a trial test.
Take Suoh's hand.
Only those who are accepted will be granted special powers.
In formality, it's called "installation".
Each Clan has their own way of doing it.
The twins who have accepted installation from the late Blue King and still look up to him as their only king will never pass the test.

What are the criteria for passing?
No one could solve this mystery.
Or so it seems.

The apitude for handling superpowers, and the mentality to become a loyal clansmen to said king, are factors that anyone would consider to be important.

If becoming a loyal clansmen is the criterion, then how did I...

"Eh? Fushimi is here?" Someone asked as he walked down the stairs.
"So King wasn't the one who picked up the phone?"

"Totsuka-san you were here all this time?"
"Didn't you hear the phone?"

"Yep, but I think it's nice for King to move his ass once in a while." Totsuka-san laughed.

"I did too move my ass..." Said accused king retorted.

"Hey!" I greeted as I walked through the doors along with Misaki, Kamamoto, and Bando-san.

"Hey, Saruhiko, you're up." Misaki greeted as well.
"Ah! Mikoto-san!"

"Mikoto-san, did you hear about that new ramen restaurant?"
"You can win a prize if you finish their ultra huge, ultra spicy ramen!"
"Kamamoto challenged it and got spectacularly defeated!"
