Saturday morning, I had to deal with the fact that although we planned to make today a family outing only, surprisingly Keisuke wanted to join on the fun also. I guess he missed his buddy and wanted to hang out with him, or was he keeping him in check so he wouldn't go off the rails? As I was on the call I let him know this wasn't up to me.

"That's not my decision to make, you have to ask Kazu-chan for his approval, so just come here and we can provide you with a ride." It was Kazutora's day and I would leave the important decision-making into his capable hands.

"Lemme see if my parent agrees with me." I walked downstairs, seeing how breakfast was already out on the table.

"Mom, dad Keisuke wants to go too." Since at this point they were already familiar with him they decided to permit him to tag along.

"So when will you come?" I asked as he announced he would be here shortly. When he mentioned it I wasn't expecting him to bust thru our doors before I even finished my breakfast, so I was still parading here in my pj's.

"You could have warned me, that you will arrive here at the speed of light," I said while opening the entrance.

"Oh!" How early did he wake up? Didn't he plan to sleep in, or was his mother not allowing him such luxuries?

"Have you eaten?" My mother asked, I think he must have forgotten about food in a hurry.

"Then you can join us, there's still plenty left." He seemed surprised by the invitation but joined our breakfast table nonetheless.

"Have you been friends with Kazutora for a long time?" I guess father decided to use this moment to inquire about their friendship.

"For a couple of years." dad seemed to think about something.

"As long that boy has someone to depend on, we may have adopted him but there is no certainty that he will trust us that easily, so I hope you will listen to his worries if he has any to share with you." I guess dad did have a point, since he suffered thru so much, there was no certainty he would open up his heart so easily, it would most likely take time. Keisuke nodded, but looked a tad nervous, maybe because he didn't expect my parents to be so straightforward. After breakfast since we had some time to kill, Keisuke decided to hang inside my room with Cupid. I started to prepare for the outing, making sure I had all the necessities.

"Your parents seem like nice people." I nodded fully agreeing with him.

"Totally, wouldn't trade them for anything in this world." At this point, I couldn't see them as anything but my parents. I really wanted to remain in this world for this sole reason. We talked about Kazutora hoping he would thrive in this family until mom yelled.

"Michi! Let's go." I left out some cat food to Cupid letting him know we would be out for a while. So we left and arrived just in time for his discharge.

"Baji, you're here as well?" Kazutora seemed shocked.

"Yep, this guy even wanted to join the family outing, what's your verdict on that matter?" He looked at us, probably baffled on why we would accept his friend with open hands.

"It's solely up to you." he seemed astounded to be given so much power. But he wanted Keisuke to tag along.

"Great! Let's make it into a party!" I would get everyone hyped.

"So Kazutora, are you by chance hungry, should we visit a restaurant first?" Mom was looking out for his diet right away. Yes, maybe junk food at the amusement park wasn't the best start of the day. He nodded and we let him choose whatever he wanted. I guess Keisuke's influence came thru because he wanted his yakisoba. Keisuke just laughed while saying.

"An amazing choice." A terrible future flashed before my eyes, Keisuke visiting whenever he wanted because Kazutora allowed him. So we drove to a restaurant and let the boys have their share of yakisoba. They talked a lot, but I guess they avoided certain topics since my parents were here, I really hoped this boy would take his therapy seriously but was Kisaki stronger than a therapist? Great I was thinking about this snake with his slippery tongue even now.

But all my worries ran away when we reached the amusement park.

"So which ride do you want to start with?" I hoped he wouldn't choose anything too extreme since we were fresh out of second breakfast, not that I had much since I shared a plate with mom.

"This!" did he really just point at the hunted house?

"Is that really want you want to start with?" I asked hoping this was just a joke.

"What, are you scared?" Keisuke was really pushing it.

"No, I was thinking we could go on a roller-coaster first." But then mother conveyed.

"Isn't this for the better, at least you let your stomach will rest before beginning with the more insane rides." Point taken.

We decided to tread into the haunted house, and mom and dad chose to go as their own group leaving us kids to our own devices. I wasn't expecting to get easily scared, but who would have thought that the screams I got to hear came from the two guys beside me that played though right before the entrance.

"Here you two you can hold my hands for protection." Keisuke was in denial.

"I'm not scared or anything." that's when an actor jumped out of sudden, and this kid decided to activate his fight mode.

"Duck!" I yelled, thankfully the actor followed my advice, and I slapped Keisuke on the back of his head.

"The heck you doing? You're trying to get us kicked out?" He looked at me sheepishly, as Kazutora decided to cling to my arm, but because Keisuke was still trying to win his sullen pride, I just grabbed his arm myself to prevent him from jumping onto people. Was I suddenly a kindergarten teacher? But we made it out without a problem.

"Never again." At least not with those two, that are ready to fight anything that jumps out from an unknown corner.

"Let's go onto roller coasters next." Keisuke decided to show his bravery by suggesting the fastest and highest ride he could think of.

"How about we begin with something more manageable?" I didn't have a stomach made of steel.

"Oh come on, I can hold your hand if you're scared." Was this guy for real.

"And have Kazu-chan sit for himself? No, I will hold his hand instead." So I said but those two betrayed me and sat next to each other.

"Hold each other's hands, don't be cowards!" I yelled from the seat behind them, Keisuke that menace showed me holding Kazutora's hand, smirking at me. What was he even trying to accomplish in this scenario? So the ride went okay, I felt a little on edge but survived, so we went for another ride, and then the next one, to the point where my parents couldn't keep up with our whereabouts so they went off on their own little date. Then suddenly Kazutora felt like doing something else.

"Let's go to the love tunnel!" he acted like a kid that wanted to try everything.

"You two can go together...alone." but they disagreed and dragged me along, yet wanted me to sit in the middle of the boat.

"But don't you want to hold each other while saying, Keisuke~ Kazutora~" They could extend their date from their previous ride. I was dragged onto the boat by sheer force, that was Kazutora, him now clinging to me causing Keisuke to laugh at my misfortune. But was this by chance a sign from Kazutora that he was thrilled to have a little sister? So the ride began and only a few moments in and I already found a way to get back at Keisuke.

"Look, he looks like you Keisuke." I pointed at a statue that looked like a bard of some sort.

"I don't see the resemblance." I thought about his answer and yes he was right something was missing.

"You're right the statue could never capture the beauty of your enchanting voluminous hair." He didn't deny the fact.

"I was wondering how you two become friends even," Kazutora asked, I guess from his perspective it was a friendship between a sickly girl and a delinquent, not a pair you would imagine interacting with each other on a daily basis.

"So we met by knocking into each other on one fine day after school, this guy tried to start a fight, but once he realized I was a girl he helped me up." Kazutora was following nicely so far.

"But then he held me in his arms like I was resembling the love of his life." I coughed in my hand and quickly said.

"Kazutora." and then coughed again.

"Hey! Stop making shit up, I just was curious because your face resembled his, and I was right you two were related!" I just laughed at his response, why was he so defensive if he knew I was joking. We came out from the ride and went to buy cotton candy, per Kazutora's request.

The day passed by and by the end of it all, we were back at my room chilling, these two playing with Cupid nicely.

"Wait don't say you plan to stay overnight Keisuke," I asked because at this point I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

"Can I?" I thought about it, we probably had some blankets to spare, but someone had to sleep on the floor, I glanced at Kazutora and I saw him nodding his head in excitement.

"Lemme ask mom," I said going out.

"Mom, can Keisuke stay overnight?"

"Did Kazutora ask for him to stay over?" I nodded my head, she didn't need to know I sparked this idea.

"But didn't you say you were heading off somewhere tomorrow morning?" she questioned as I nodded. I had an appointment with Emma, mission Draken confessing to Emma stage 2.

"They can keep each other company when I'm gone," I let her know my view about this.

"Let's get the blankets then." Yes, she agreed, I would let these two take over the bed if they so desired.

"So mom can you wake me up in the morning, I don't want to bother the other two." She gave me a promise she would.

"Thank you, love ya." I returned to the room with blankets.

"So you wanna sleep on the bed or on the floor? If you sleep on the bed you will have to share it with Kazutora." even so he chose the bed in a heartbeat.

The evening went on with these two talking their heads out, they were even worse than all the girls I ever knew. My tired brain couldn't keep up with their conversation no longer. But then a mission decided to pop up.

'Would you rather braid Keisuke's Baji hair or your brothers?' the system already recognized him as such, but Keisuke's hair was easier to work with, I was waiting for an obstacle to arriving to complete my mission. Yet Keisuke was so occupied with the story he was telling Kazutora, that he didn't complain about me playing with his hair. I decided to see if I could take it one step further, so I took out a black nail polish and started to paint his nails thereafter. It suddenly felt like a nail salon over here.

"Oh look isn't it pretty?" I asked holding Keisuke's hand in mine showing it off to Kazu-chan. Somehow it ended up with me doing his nails as well.

My brain: What if this happened in the Valhalla fight? Whatcha think about it?

Me: Neat but lemme think about what happens now ｡･ﾟﾟ*(>д
