“Hey, Hoki. I’m bored.”
“Then what do you suggest me to do?” The brunette with a face mask in brown with three white stripes tracksuit asks.
After scratching her head, Kyoko’s look-alike scratches her head and closes her eyes. She frowns as she ponders deeply. “I dunno. Hmm... “
Opening her eyes, the brunette in a matching blue tracksuit adds. “Ah! I know! How about we ask this loser?”
While they observe their new target wearing a headband and a dark blue tracksuit with a white t-shirt inside from the corner of a local convenience store, Mero mischievously smiles. “You know what? She could pay for our lunch. Besides, she has nothing better to do.”
“I dunno... what if she says no or runs away?” Hoki asks while watching Shingomi putting down shopping bags to tie up the loose laces of her sneakers with a zero sense of danger.
Instead of listening to her twin, Mero makes her appearance while keeping her hands in her jacket pockets. “Hey, onee-chan, these look heavy. So, how about you need some help to carry those?”
A familiar voice like that makes Shingomi turn and tilt her head. “Kusanagi-san?”
However, the brunette in a blue tracksuit only keeps her hands in her pockets and raises her eyebrow. “I’m not Big Sis, you silly. But then you bought this for her, right?”
As she picks up the grocery bags, Shingomi becomes confused and cracks a nervous smile. “You’re acting a bit weird, Kusanagi-san. But I think I have to go now. So, excuse me...”
Just as she is about to leave, she senses another person behind her back who grabs her shoulder.
Hoki frowns while keeping a calm face. “Where are you going? You’ll hurt your back carrying such a weight. So, don’t turn our kindness down.”
Realizing that these siblings are her precious mentor’s clones, Shingomi panics. I… Weren’t they gone? What are they doing here?
As Shingomi becomes even more tense and shakes her head, she politely objects. “I’m sorry, but I have to really go now.”
Even if this trio attracts the bystanders’ attention, Mero looks around and responds. “Why are you all looking like that? Our little sister got lost, alright?”
When her eyes are fixated on her twin, she briefly instructs her. “Hoki, hold her tight.”
Upon Hoki locking her arms, Shingomi gasps. “Wha-! What are you doing?”
When Mero grabs the grocery bags, she addresses the poor brunette. “Don’t worry, onee-chan. We’ll take you to Big Sis. So, leave it to us.”
Lastly, she glances at her sibling. “Hoki, make sure she’ll behave until meeting our Big Sis.”
Throwing her arm around Shingomi’s shoulders, Hoki speaks to her. “See? We are even inviting you for dinner. So, you better be thankful.”
Even if she is uncertain where she’ll be taken, Shingomi only clenches her fists and tries to remain calm. Please save me, Kusanagi-san.
However, the very little that this poor gal knows is that her prayers might be answered, even if by someone she least expects.
After some time, reaching an old storage, Shingomi accepts whatever fate awaits her behind the steel door.
After all, even if she attempted to push away and run as fast as her legs allowed, she got caught by one of the twins. More so, after getting pressed to the ground, she was restrained by her own headband.
For now, Mero lowers the grocery bags and knocks on the door. “Big Sis, it’s us, Mero and Hoki!”
Soon enough, the door opens, and the clone in the purple gakuran suspiciously looks at them through the gap.
Noticing they brought an unusual guest, she raises her eyebrow. “What did you get there? We don’t need another mouth to feed.”
“Come on, now, Sakura. Just let us in.” The brunette wearing a blue tracksuit smiles.
When she points with her thumb at Shingomi, she adds. “That onee-chan over there not only was kind enough to offer her food, but she seems to know Big Sis.”
While Sakura remains suspicious, she opens the door wider and turns her head. “Big Sis, Hoki and Mero are saying they brought a person who knows you.”
A moment later, the clone in purple gakuran nods and lets her siblings inside.
Thus, while Mero carries the bags, Hoki slaps Shingomi’s back and prompts her to go into their fortress.
As the heavy door slams, the brunette nearly jumps from the same spot.
Despite that, the twins take her deeper into this place.
Quickly looking around, Shingomi scans her surroundings.
The very first thing that she notices is the lighted-up storage and a huge group of Kyoko’s replicas in different color gakurans or tracksuits are gathered around the person at the end of the storage sitting on her throne and observing her.
That person sitting with one of her legs thrown over the other one in the expensive-looking black leather office chair nearly resembling her adored one and only Kusanagi-san if it isn’t for a few details.
This tanned woman with dark hair and mildly glowing crimson eyes looks down on Shingomi with a rather bored look on her face while resting her head on her knuckle and yawning widely like a large feline.
More so, she wears an open black long coat with rolled-up sleeves, and under it, a medical bandage wrapped around her chest revealing her well-built figure, and dark jeans.
As she continues resting her head on her knuckles, she looks indifferently at Shingomi. “Huh? Who the hell are you?”
When her eyes fixate on the clone in a green tracksuit, she orders. “Sage, take these bags. You know what to do with them.”
The replica in question gets up and nods. “Yes!~”
After Mero hands her sibling the bags, Kusanagi further instructs the twins. “Check if she has anything more valuable.”
As Hoki locks Shingomi’s arms and Mero places her hands on her, the brunette struggles. “What are you doing? Just wait and Kusanagi-san will get you!”
Hearing her own name coming from this girl puts an amused smile on Kusanagi’s face and makes her eyes glow in a brighter crimson. “Eh?~ We barely just met, but you are already fond of me. Who are you, little girl?”
Of course, being touched by someone resembling her idol makes the brunette close her eyes and turn her head away.
However, as soon as the replica in the blue tracksuit is about to pick up her phone from her pants pocket, Shingomi takes a deep breath and kicks into Mero’s chin. “DO NOT TOUCH ME!”
Certainly, grasping her aching jaw while regaining her balance, Mero hisses and growls.
Immediately removing her palm, she raises her fist and lashes out at her new opponent. “You bastard!-”
Meanwhile, Shingomi instinctively shuts her eyes and prepares for the strike.
Before the moment of impact, Mero becomes alert as someone pulls her back by the collar of her jacket. As Kyoko’s look-alike gasps upon being lifted into the air, she remains in shock without moving a single muscle.
“Big Sis?…” Mero whimpers in a small voice.
Thus, everyone’s, including the captured brunette, eyes follow the hand possessing such raw strength and the owner of it.
However, Kusanagi comments with an annoyed look. “Enough. You don’t have to jump on our guest like this. So, watch your Big Sis handle her.”
Lowering Mero like a kitten and releasing her collar, the tanned woman gets close to shrugging Shingomi, who is like a scared little animal.
After bending, she roughly holds the brunette’s cheeks and narrows her gaze.
Cracking a mocking smile, Kusanagi yowls. “When did a puppy grow bold to object?”
Releasing her face, she adds. “Now, tell me your name, puppy.”
However, Shingomi only lowers her head and tightens her lips.
“… You will pay for this.” She murmurs.
Gathering her courage, she lifts her head and declares. “As Kusanagi-san’s number one disciple, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
Clearly, Shingomi’s determined eyes alone are entertaining for the tanned woman, who only loudly laughs at her.
After fixing her hair, Kusanagi stands up and keeps her hands in her jeans pockets, looking down at her. “It was funny at first. But now, you are getting on my nerves. So, how about I’ll show you your place?”
Just when she raises her leg and is about to stomp on her head, a banging on the door and the clone’s voice stops her.
“Big Sis, it’s K’-san.” The clone in a purple gakuran announces.
Lowering her leg, Kusanagi does not have the smartest-looking face and addresses the gatekeeper replica. “Then are you gonna stand like you were kissed? Open the door.”
Meanwhile, Shingomi feels like dodging a bullet, if not melting like jelly in the same spot.
However, hearing another familiar name makes her turn her head. K’-san?... What in the world is happening?
As the clone in the purple outfit opens the iron door, a tanned woman with short silver hair and sunglasses enters the storage. She wears a not fully zipped biker leather jacket, white t-shirt, and ripped jeans.
Meanwhile, Kusanagi gets up and greets her with spread arms and the smuggest look. “Hey, if it isn’t K’-chan? How are you doing?”
While keeping her hands in her jeans, K’ straightforwardly responds. “Just checking whether you or your girls have enough food or anything else.”
Surely, it makes Kusanagi grin. As she approaches her, she rests her palm on the white-haired gal. “That is so considerate of you, you know. However, you won’t believe this – a couple of my girls actually met someone who bought us goods.”
“Do they?” K’ raises her eyebrow.
Suddenly, Shingomi’s voice gets everyone’s attention. “Don’t listen to her, K’-san! These Kusanagi-san’s clones attacked and robbed me!”
Surely, it makes Kusanagi grind her teeth and growl.
When she turns her head, she yells at the top of her lungs. “STAY QUIET, YOU STUPID WOMAN! AND WAIT FOR YOUR TURN!”
However, K’ grips her shoulder with her crimson gloved hand and ceases her further menace. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Kusanagi tilts her head while keeping not the smartest look. “Huh? That little girl over there claims that she is my student or something like that. So, chill and let me handle her, okay?”
The white-haired gal only narrows her gaze and fires back. “Eh? Just what did you want to do with my girlfriend?”
“Girlfriend? That thing?” Kusanagi chuckles and points with her chin at her new plaything.
Meanwhile, K’ turning gaze toward Shingomi startles this poor girl.
For now, she addresses the stressed brunette in an unusually deeper tone. “Come here.”
Despite the confusion, Shingomi doesn’t object and immediately follows the command. After getting to K’s side, the tanned girl wrapping her arm around Shingomi’s waist and pulling her closer bewilders the brunette.
But for now, without removing her eyes from Kusanagi, K’ declares with confidence. “Yeah, she is my girlfriend. Do you have any problem with that?”
However, Kusanagi rests her hands on her waist and narrows her entertained look. “You never mentioned that before. So, how long did you keep it a secret?”
Feeling Kusanagi’s curious eyes on her, the white-haired gal responds. “Is it really that important? Look, you’re scaring her.”
However, the tanned brunette turns her head toward one of her girls. “Mero, grab a bottle of whiskey for me. You know where it is, right?”
“Right away!” This Kyoko’s look-alike nods before rushing to the box row next to Kusanagi’s throne.
Watching Mero opening the box and picking a dark amber-colored bottle, K’ widens her eyes and comments. “You don’t have to go that far.”
The tanned brunette laughs and roughly pats her friend’s shoulder. “Come on, don’t be shy! Just take it as a small gift from me.”
After taking the whiskey bottle from Mero, Kusanagi proudly adds. “So, next time we hang out, bring your puppy girlfriend and I’ll give you my blessings. I can’t believe that our little K’ has grown up so fast~”
Shoving the bottle into K’s hand, Kusanagi orders her. “Come on, I insist.”
Meanwhile, Shingomi clings to K’, who only rolls her eyes and groans. Suddenly, the brunette is startled by Kusanagi looking at her with glowing crimson eyes.
But for now, Kusanagi addresses her in a suggestive tone. “You know, you should have told us earlier that you two are dating and we would have avoided this silly misunderstanding.”
Just before the tanned brunette says anything else, K’ grips her partner’s shoulder. “We’re leaving.”
Despite still not comprehending what is happening, Shingomi entrusts K’ and nods.
Lastly, Kusanagi watches this couple leaving the storage and chuckles. “Fiine~ I’ll give you some privacy. But don’t forget to drink responsibly else you or your little girlfriend may end up hugging the toilet.”
Says who… K’ groans and slams the iron door behind them.
Some time passes by. As the warm orange sunset dyes the sky, one couple sits next to the vending machine outside the convenience store.
Getting up and cleaning the dust from her outfit, Shingomi quickly scans the items inside the vending machine.
Upon inserting a few coins and selecting the wanted items, the brunette waits for them to fall. After picking a couple of coffee cans, Shingomi sits down and hands one to her partner while averting her gaze. “Here.”
However, the white-haired girl gently pushes her hand away. “I’ll be fine. So, you have it.”
Shingomi faces her and lowers her shy gaze. “But you paid for my groceries and you’ve saved me. So, that’s the least I can do to thank you, K’-san.”
Suddenly, the sensation of touching someone’s palm makes the brunette panic and withdraw her hand as it gets burnt. “So-sorry!”
Damn... I’m so screwed! Shingomi stares at her with wide eyes.
At first, K’ tilts her head and gives a questioning look at the brunette, not understanding her out-of-blue reaction. “You’re okay?”
The brunette tightens her lips and averts her gaze. “Er... Um, I didn’t mean to.”
Seeing this stressed-out fellow, K’ calmly asks her. “What are you apologizing for?”
For now, Shingomi shakes her head and straightens her back. “It’s... It’s nothing.”
That’s right, I’m the only one making a big deal out of nowhere. Besides, I may have caused K’-san too much trouble already. The brunette rests her clenched palm on her chest and lowers her gaze.
However, her further thoughts are interrupted by someone’s hand resting on her shoulder.
When Shingomi faces her, ‘K leans closer to her. “Did the clones or ‘Nagi hurt you?”
Clearly, such a close distance confuses the brunette, but she manages to respond in a slightly nervous tone. “Um, not really, just a bit shocked. But that’s about it. So, I’m okay... I think.”
After lowering her shoulders, she adds while rolling the canned coffee in her hands. “It's just... It’s weird how that scary woman claims that she is Kusanagi-san when she is clearly nothing like her.”
As she tightens her lips and frowns, she complains. “I’m not sure why she does that, but for whatever reason, I don’t like it at all. What if she wants nothing but to cause problems like Yagami-san? She even treats you as if she knows you.”
At that moment, K’ can swear that Shingomi looks no different from a whimpering puppy who may just need comfort.
Thus, she throws her around the brunette’s shoulders and brings her closer.
Such an unexpected gesture bewilders Shingomi. “K’-san?”
“Sorry that you have to deal with her. However, next time you get into trouble, call me or Kyo, got it?” ‘K sighs and ruffles Shingomi’s hair.
Meanwhile, the brunette doesn’t mind the given affection, but she knows she shouldn’t push her luck too much.
After all, that is nothing more than a friendly gesture. Even how K’-san acted in the storage infected by her mentor’s clones was nothing more than getting her out of trouble again, right? Definitely, there’s no other reason than that. Or so Shingomi convinces herself and nods.
When she faces her friend, she declares with a strong determination. “But then I also have to train harder so that one day, I’ll be strong enough to protect you, Kusanagi-san and the others!”
Even at a moment like this, the white-haired girl can feel how she skips a heart beat by witnessing Shingomi radiating as bright as a sunshine ball. Perhaps even brighter than the sun.
Nevertheless, she manages quickly to regain her cool.
For now, she sighs and rewards the brunette with more head pats. “Sure, but promise me you won’t go overboard.”
Lastly, she prompts Shingomi who barely understands what just happened. “Anyway, let’s get you home.”
Thus, after getting up, the brunette follows her. Even if she cannot explain why she feels out of the blue craving to cling to K’s arm, she doesn’t dare to ask for permission. Not now. Not when she is afraid to ruin this peaceful moment. Besides, maybe next time... if she won’t forget about it or not have enough courage.
