Masahi is awoken by a crusty alarm clock blasting off.

Masahi immediately smacks it hard. Groaning like he was in pain.

Narrator: As you can see Masahi is a really lazy person who abandons his duty's aren't you supposed to be responsible?

Masahi: SHUT THE HELL UP!

Narrator: No breaking fourth wall! Anyways, as Masahi gets up looking ready to bitch slap a random person on the street. He's wearing some ducky pajamas today.

Masahi groans
As he gets ready and is ready inhale some noodles even though it's the first thing in the morning.

Seconds past or minutes.

Masahi is now wondering the block or the alley ways.

???: Masahi??!?

Masahi turns to see a man who looks around his age.

???: Do you remember me???

Masahi immediately felt the pressure hit him hard. He became nervous because he infact didn't recall the man one little bit.

???: Awe, don't tell me you forgot~!
Groaned the man

Masahi didn't want know what to say. So he did an awkward laugh.

Masahi: Heh, I'm sorry I don't have the best of memory.

???: Well, it has been long since we've talked so. I'm Yukio!

Masahi: Still, don't remember.
Masahi says plain out.

Yukio: It would make sense haven't seen you since highschool. Nor did I talk to you in highschool...

Masahi: Well, I never really paid that much attention in highschool.

Yukio gave a little smile.

Yukio: It's alright. So, anyways how's life been going?

Masahi: Trash

Yukio: Oh, sorry for asking.
Masahi then turns away from Yukio and begins walking forward.

Yukio: CMON WAIT FOR ME!!

Masahi groans for as another possible responsibility held on his own.

--Time passes and Yukio is still falling they're near what seems to be a courtyard--

Random gang member: Boss you've finally made it. Where you go yesterday?

Masahi: Y'know taking care of myself.

Random gang member: Who's this shit stain behind you? A new recruit?

Masahi: Nah, just someone who's been following.

Yukio trembles in fear of what he got himself into.

Random gang member: Want me to get him off your back?

Yukio face went into straight panic. You could see cold sweat drip off his face.

Masahi: Nah, he good to do what he wants as long as he doesn't annoy me.

Yukio: H-heh thanks Masahi..Well I'll be on my way now!! Bye!!

Yukio said in a hurry as he left Masahi saw his face change immensely from the kind look to a plain out menacing face.

Masahi looked confused but ignored it.

Random gang member: Anyways, you know the guy who was trying to take over our territory?

Masahi: Yeah?..

Random gang member: He's been looking for you lately. I'd recommend you just hire us to take him down.
(He says talking about the other members)

Masahi: But what if he's an actual good fighter and ask him to join? I think that's more simple and plus I really don't feel like fighting.

Random gang member: But he's really don't look like he's up for talk a few of our other members went up to him and got bed ridden immediately says the rumors floating around.

Masahi sighs

Masahi: Fine... I'll fight him and whatever happens. Just happens.

Random gang member: Would you like us to accompany you in the fight?

Masahi: No, it's all right it is my responsibility after all...Just go find him and schedule it near the abandoned train station and say about 7 days.

The random gang member nods and goes out to find this man of a beast looking to fight.

Masahi groans

Masahi: When I thought about being a gang leader didn't think it'd be so annoying but that's just how it is.

Masahi walks to a bookstore for peace.

He browsed the shelf to find a book

He found a book called **Too late.**

He found it interesting because of the title and genre it was a horror/mystery based book. He checks it out and heads home to read it.

As he's walking home he spots Yukio again but pays no attention to it.

-- It's now 10 PM --

Masahi hears a knock at the door he goes and opens it to find Katsumi.

Katsumi: You once again aren't looking the best. How's it been going?

Masahi: Fuck do you want?

Katsumi: I take that as it's been a bad day for you. Hope you don't mind the sudden appearance.

Masahi: just hurry up and come in it's cold God DAMNIT!

Katsumi walks in as Masahi closes the door behind him.

Katsumi: Woild you like to talk about what's been going on or just keep it inside if you haven't already told someone.

Masahi: Why do you even care?? You know what why do I bother making sense out of a fucking idiot.

Katsumi: Ouch~ that hurt my feelings.

Katsumi says sarcastically.

Masahi: I got to fight in a week from now. And I'm starving and just don't feel like eating today.

Katsumi: Well it's on you for having a bad day should've at least ate something.

Katsumi grins knowing damn well Masahi can't cook.

Masahi bonks Katsumi's head.

Katsumi: Alright alright, so let's solve one problem.

Katsumi gets up and goes into Masahi fridge to find aboustely nothing but noodles cups.

Katsumi: How do you not even have groceries.

Katsumi glances at Masahi who just gave a simple shrug.

Katsumi: Alright, I'll head to the store just stay here and don't go looking for trouble!

Katsumi heads out the door.

Masahi: ME LOOKING FOR TROUBLE??? TROUBLES ALWAYS FINDING ME FUCK YOU!
Masahi yells

--Meanwhile--

???: Yeah Masahi is just simply carefree and doesn't even know how to maintain his damn own gang. You'll surely win with just punching him in the face.
??? Chuckles

???: Thanks for informing me. Yukio.

Yukio: Anything for you boss.

Yukio gives an evil grin.
