Noru Kaneki couldn't help but flinch back upon seeing the expression on Narisa Zeno's face. Then, noticing the presence of the man next to Narisa Zeno, he turned to looked at the man's face. Noticing who it was, he couldn't hide the shock that appeared on his face. Then, it turned to a grin.

"So you joined him, huh, Yagami?" Noru Kaneki asked, lips in a curve.

Tendou Yagami lifted his brows, a smirk appearing on his own face as he watched Noru Kaneki's display. "Got a problem with that?"

Suon Karma lifted his brow, albeit with confusion. "Why Lucifer? You refused everyone but not Zeno, how come?"

Narisa Zeno also turned to look at Tendou Yagami, wanting to see just how he would answer this.

"Well, he didn't seem as annoying as the rest of you." That was merely how he replied. Tendou Yagami could see the anger rising on Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma's face, but his attention drifted to the smile that was on Narisa Zeno's face instead. "And, he merely asked. He didn't tried to persuade. Plus, he's more handsome than you two too, so why not?"

Narisa Zeno couldn't help but smile as he shook his head with Tendou Yagami's last sentence.

"You little," Noru Kaneki started before he calmed himself. Then, glaring at Suon Karma, he said in an angry tone, "And what are you doing here?!"

Suon Karma's face twitched as he looked at Noru Kaneki. "The same reason as you. Why? Am I not allowed in your presence anymore, oh Your Almighty Majesty?"

It was a cat fight all over. The relationship between Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma had never been good, it was already considered well enough if they never got into a fistfight.

"Wow, your face looks really punch-able today! Everyone is just getting me pissed off today. First it was that annoying Ren again, then it's you, and now we have Zeno over here, and an angry dog accompanying his side." Noru Kaneki exclaimed as he held up his hands in anger. "I know what you're going to say, Zeno. And I say to hell with it. I do me, you do you. And second of all, I don't want that Ren kid anymore, his mouth is too big for his height. If it weren't for the sake of annoying Karma, I wouldn't even be chasing after that kid."

Narisa Zeno suddenly smiled at that. Ah, he understood now. And then, glancing at Tendou Yagami, he was surprised to see that Tendou Yagami was already looking at him. His hand sneakingly brushed against Tendou Yagami's as he pretended not to notice.

"Seriously! Was that why every time you were there to insult me? Come on, I thought we said we were going to play fair. Fine, if that's how it is, I was also there just to annoy you. That's why I always mocked you about your height." Suon Karma scowled as he glared at Noru Kaneki.

The two glared at one another, each one unwilling to back down.

Narisa Zeno looked at the two. They were really clueless to how their interactions looked like right now. "You two, if you are done, I will need to speak with you."

Suon Karma was the first to reply as he backed away from Noru Kaneki. "Aren't you supposed to be threatening us about how you're going to punish us or whatever? What would you need us for?"

"Yeah, what would the great overlord need from us, insignificant beings? I would've thought you'd use one hand to squeeze Karma to death by now." Noru Kaneki rolled his eyes as he said this.

Suon Karma glared at Noru Kaneki from the side of his eyes but he didn't say anything.

"Yagami, can you go first to get Akita here?" Narisa Zeno asked as he turned to Tendou Yagami.

"Are you sure you're alright with being alone?" Tendou Yagami answered, a trace of worry lined within his eyes. As he said so, he also made sure to send a glare at Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma, to which Noru Kaneki merely stuck out his tongue.

"They can't do anything to me, I'll be alright. We'll be in the garden if you come back." Narisa Zeno merely replied as he smiled.

Tendou Yagami watched Narisa Zeno's reaction carefully before he finally nodded. "Alright then." And then, he turned back as he walked towards the school building.

Narisa Zeno watched Tendou Yagami wall away before he turned back to look at Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma. "Let's go, I need to talk with you two privately."

Noru Kaneki and Suon Karma looked at one another first before they finally looked back and nodded.

"There's a spy in our school?" Suon Karma asked, unsure if what he heard was correct.

Narisa Zeno nodded his head. "If I am correct, the spy is within Hina's gang. My cousin had told me that there's been someone trying to trace my location and most likely, they're another school gang. I don't know if you two have noticed but many of the cases of robberies have been homes of students from either Shinaku or Takimura. Most likely, they are trying to infuriate me into seeking out the answer and then trying to ambush the gangs from this school." That was a lie, a clear one. But it's not like the two were going to find out anyway, so he didn't care.

"Wait, doesn't that mean that because of you, we all are trapped right now?" Noru Kaneki exaggeratedly pointed at himself, narrowing his eyes in a sneer.

"Stupid, of course that's what he means. Why else would he talking with us?" Suon Karma couldn't help but rebuke, still angry at Noru Kaneki from before.

"Shut your trap, you've leaving soon anyway!" Noru Kaneki refuted, glaring at the man next to him as he held himself back from pounding on the man and beating him up.

"You two, focus on the situation. You can continue your lover's spat afterwards." Narisa Zeno couldn't help but bring up, slightly teasing the two.

"Who's the lover?!" The two automatically stopped from their argument as they both turned to Narisa Zeno and glared at him. Yet, neither of them noticed the slight pinkness from the tip of their ears.

Narisa Zeno watched the two, jealousy spewing from himself too. If only his man was here right now...

"Alright, as I was saying before you two began to play husband and wife in front of me, we need to find out who's the spy in Hina's s gang. Since I wasn't able to do much, I scared her and she's most likely freaking out right now about what to do. I will need you two to act as if you have been warned by me and are afraid about what's to happen next. During this time, I will also need you two to get an insight on the newest members that have joined Hina's gang and find seek information about them." Narisa Zeno began as he explained the plan for the next few weeks.

Noru Kaneki rolled his eyes as he asked, "Can't you just ask someone else to do this? If I suddenly act scared and go around asking people about Hina, everyone is going to know that something's wrong. Obviously, Karma's much weaker than you and I so he should be the one acting like his neck is going to get cut off."

"That's obviously your role. You're small and delicate and act crazy already. No one's going to notice if you suddenly start acting like you're scared, they'll probably be ready for it. Imagine me acting like I'm scared, everyone is probably going to run away from me at first sight." Hearing Noru Kaneki's claim, Suon Karma also declined and added his own side.

"175 centimeters is not short!" Noru Kaneki exclaimed as he scowled at Suon Karma.

Suon Karma smirked as he replied, "Compared to my 190 build, you've got nothing against me. In my eyes, that's pretty darn short."

Noru Kaneki gasped as lifted his fist, ready to throw them before he was interrupted.

"Oh my, I see they're at it again. The newly wedded couple are fighting! Quick, we need to calm them from getting a divorce." Seru Akita walked towards them with throttling steps, as he feigned a look of surprise and shock before it gradually became a huge grin.

"Shut your mouth before I hit you again. This time I'm aiming at a certain place that may become unused in the further if I add too much strength." Noru Kaneki said as he saw Seru Akita swagger over and had a face of disgust on.

"Oh, dear, we both know I've used that place more than you." Saying this, Seru Akita winked as he walked to Narisa Zeno's side.

From behind Seru Akita, Tendou Yagami walked in with a grim expression. Seeing Narisa Zeno, his mood cleared a bit from the matters before. He had just gotten a message that he was invited to his step-mother's birthday party. Who in their sane mind would come to celebrate an enemies birthday if they weren't going to crash it?

Tendou Yagami wasn't going to go, even if his father threatened him like always. That piece of trash could go meet its garbage can of a wife. Tendou Yagami was barely willing to be in a 100 meter radius near any of them. His brother, Tendou Akiyama was the only person he liked in his family. And his mother...but she had already died.

Tendou Yagami absentmindedly walked towards Narisa Zeno, only stopping once a hand grabbed him from crashing into each other.

"Careful," Narisa Zeno said as he stopped Tendou Yagami from crashing into him. While he would like to use this moment to fall dramatically and crash into Tendou Yagami with his lips, he refrained from doing so.

Tendou Yagami then turned up to look at Narisa Zeno. Without him noticing, a smile was already laced onto his lips. "Thank you."

Maybe in the near future, something really will change between them. Until then, he wanted to see just how Narisa Zeno was going to prove his feelings. After all, he was slowly but surely falling too.
