Yata's Childhood Friend

One

I got off the train and looked around Shizume City then went towards the "red ruled district" to find this infamous bar. I ended up running into a man with blonde hair and purple shades then I cleared my throat.

"I'm sorry. I was wondering if you could help me actually."

"Yeah? What with?"

"I'm looking for a bar, the name starts with h." He thought for a second then smiled.

"Is it the red ruled district?" I nodded and he smirked.

"Bar Homra, it's down that way, to the left, and on the corner of fifth. Don't worry, you can't miss it."

"Thank you." I smiled and left him then followed his directions, finding the bar easily. I took a deep breath and looked at the photo in my hand of Misaki and Saruhiko standing together but as I flipped it over, I saw it said 'Shizume City, a bar in the red ruled district.' Behind them, the beginning of a sign and a giant H standing out. I looked at the sign and saw the H then cleared my throat as I pocketed the photo. I don't know who sent me the photo, it just ended up in a letter to me one day so I came here to find them. I opened the door and the people inside stopped as I closed the door behind me but I was looking for him.

"Um, I'm sorry to bother you-"

"Yeah, so what?" A guy in a dark hoodie asked and I cleared my throat.

"I'm looking for Misaki-"

"Yata? He's not here." A guy in a white hoodie said and I felt my heart deflate.

"Then do you know where I can find Saruhiko Fushimi?"

"No, we don't keep up with that guy." Another guy said then a little girl came towards me.

"Misaki is at the shopping mall and Saruhiko is at the high school island, he's in this dorm with some friends." I took the paper then smiled at her.

"Thank you."

"Anna-"

"I trust her, Shohei." She said and smiled at me.

"Misaki should be back later tonight, I don't know when. I'll tell him that you stopped by."

"My name is Seona." She nodded and I smiled as I went to the school island. I got there and went to the dorm that was on the paper, knocking loudly.

"Coming!" A voice called and the door opened to a guy with black hair pulled back in a ponytail.

"Yes?"

"Is Saruhiko Fushimi here?" He nodded and let me in then I followed him to the main part of the dorm, seeing Saruhiko sitting at a little table.

"Seona?" Saruhiko whispered and I smiled as he stood.

"What the-" He laughed then hugged me and I smiled as I held his bean pole frame close.

"Hey, sorry it's been so long." I laughed and he pushed me back some.

"Does Yata know-"

"No, I went to see him but he wasn't there so I came to find you." I said and he laughed.

"Man, the last time we saw you was in high school." I nodded and he grabbed my blue hair.

"You're so different looking."

"Thanks." I said and looked at his friends.

"Oh, this is Adolf K Weismann and Neko. That there is Kuroh Yatogami." I waved then smiled as I looked at Saruhiko again.

"Hey, where are you staying?" He asked and I sighed.

"Uh, figured I'd find a hotel-"

"No, I can't let you do that. Come on, you can stay with me." We left the dorm and I listened as he told me his stories since I've left.

"And are you two friends again?" I asked and he sighed.

"Yeah, we are. I just wish I hadn't been so damn stupid about-"

"Hey, it's alright. I promise, we're all together again." I said and he nodded.

"Yeah, I know. I hope you have cold weather clothes-"

"Yeah, I do. I plan on going to the bar again tomorrow, to try and see Misaki." He nodded and we got to his apartment then he showed me the guest room where I set up my things and we ordered take out, watched silly cartoons, and joked around the rest of the night.
