You know how I was saying that Natsou was my favorite brother? Well he might not be anymore.

I mustered up a smile and turned around to look at him.

"Oh, hey! What's up?"

He walked up to me with a smile too, lifting his arm to offer me a handshake. I took his hand in mines and we greeted each other. Both of us could tell that our over the top smile was all fake.

"It's a surprise to see you out here."

"Really?" I laughed, letting go of him hands, "It's a honor to be in your presence then?"

"We didn't get to talk much when Hawks introduced you to us." Natsou replied, ignoring what I just said. "Mind going for a chat."

I had already notice what his intentions were. Though, I never thought he'll be this straight forward about it. Eyes darting around, I spotted Shoto behind him. He too, was staring at me. Having both of their eyes on me made me queasy.

"Unfortunately, I have plans to attend and things to do."

He nodded his head in understanding, "Gosh, I'm sorry for stopping you."

He didn't sound sorry at all. Instead his intense stare was triggering my flight or fight.

"You have something to say?" I asked, knowing it was better if he just got it out of his system instead of keeping it in. "You could just ask now, it's not as if I'm in a hurry."

Oh, how much I regretted asking...

"It's just, you look like someone I knew." He took my silence as an answer to keep talking, "You look familiar, almost too alike."

I scoffed, "Wow, really?" Reminding myself to shut up and just walk away next time, "Sorry for asking but did she pass away? You said 'knew'?"

He shook his head, "No, hopefully not. But she went missing a couple months ago and we still haven't found any evidence of her death or where she could be."

Nodding my head, "I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's alright. Clearly you aren't her, so I'm sorry for keep you here with our useless questions."

I almost released a huge sigh of relief. Luckily I caught myself just in time and masked it as if I coughed. He shot me another glance of suspicion. Most likely knowing that I was hiding something, still believing that I might be someone he once 'knew'.

I quickly excused myself, "Sadly, I'll have to go to finish up my task. If fate brings us together next time, then let's have a proper chat." I could see how he was hesitant of letting me go. Making my sister instinct go haywire. "I-"

"[N/N]!" I snapped my head around to see Keigo. He flew down, landing right besides me. "And Natsou. What are you two doing together?"

"Hawks! We just bumped into each other!"

I turned to Keigo, "I'm out for groceries."

"Groceries?" He almost made it sound like a question, "But we have chicken at home."

"That's exactly why I'm out shopping for food."
