alright so I should warn you some things are gonna be cringe so beware

Itto was taking a shower at Sara's house while she was searching for clothes for him to wear.

she put the clothes in the bathroom and started making dinner, making sure not to add any kind of beans in the food.

Itto came out of the shower topless, Sara looked at him with a red face and started yelling at him.

"yo chill Tengu, the hoodie couldn't fit in me and besides I was always topless in the first place I just had a few things attached and a shoulder pad so basically you shouldn't be surprised to see me like this"

Sara looked away in embarrassment and as clueless he is he was confused because he doesn't live with women except for granny oni, so he doesn't know how to comfort a girl or ask her about her feelings, since granny did all the comforting, she was his mother and he would do anything to protect her and sometimes he gets jealous when she compliments anyone but his friends, he sees everyone in his gang as a brother, and he never forced anyone to call him boss, they just like to call him that. As he was thinking of his family an idea spiked in his head, just like granny oni used to comfort him, he wanted to do the same for Sara.

so he hugged her and said "do you want to talk about your feelings?"

"....." and the only answer he got was a slap straight in the face

"OW why did you do that?"

" I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THAT" She was even redder now and she was stuttering immensely

" granny used to comfort me like that, every time she saw that I was feeling uncomfortable or sad or scared or embarrassed" part of his face was red because of how strong the slap was, he was holding his face with one hand.

Sara felt guilty, when he finally understood something about her feelings, she greeted him with a slap. So she decided to hug him again and she didn't open her mouth after that, she couldn't see his face expression but she felt him smile while hugging her back.

Itto looked at the clock and saw how late it was getting.

"I have to go, the gang and granny have been waiting for me, thanks for the food and letting me stay here a little" he was getting ready to leave when he felt someone hold his hand.

"c-can you stay a little more..., if you want to tell them you came back we can find one of your gang members and tell him so he can tell the others"

".... why would you want me to stay? I though I annoyed you"

"......" She just looked at him with a sad expression

" okay if you won't mind me staying then I won't either"

Both of them went out to find one of his gang members

"is today Wednesday?"

"yeah why?"

"well that should cut our efforts, some of my gang members would often go to the bookstore at this time"

"you really know your members good huh"

"well they usually tell me where they're going because if anything happened to them I would know where to find them, or I would at least know where to start looking for him"

"I never though I would say this but that's smart"

They walked towards the bookstore and found two members of the Arataki gang, and of course they where happy to see their boss. They where told that he would stay a little more away from them but he promised he'd be back from one to two days. The members said their good-byes and went off to tell the others.

"happy now?"

"HEY don't make it sound like I was desperate, I only did it because you couldn't go back to the wild after you went out to that dangerous place to look for me"

They where taking their time getting home, while enjoying the starry sky and they also went and got a few snacks.

But those moments where cut off by a blond woman coming towards them

" Arataki-saaaaaan"

"hm?" Itto turned his attention to the person calling his name "Kimi ! hey how are you"

"I'm good thanks" she said while slightly blushing

Sara didn't talk but she was simply watching how that woman was looking at Itto

" Arataki-san, who is she?" The girl asked him while pointing at Sara

"Oh right, Kimi this is Sara. Sara this is Kimi, she's like my little sister" he said as he hugged Kimi by the side.

Sara felt quite relieved hearing him say that, because knowing him he wouldn't be embarrassed to say that she's his girlfriend, or maybe just his friend and that may imply that he might have feelings for her sooner or later. But saying 'she's like my little sister' implies that he friend zoned her without knowing.

Sara noticed that Kimi looked sad when Itto said that she was like his little sister.

"Arataki-san, I was worried about you, I haven't seen you in weeks"

"Oh yeah sorry I didn't tell you, I went out to Tsurumi Island with Sara"

Waiiiiiiit did he just say Sara? isn't he kinda missing a part of that story?

Sara looked at him confused but the only thing he did was wink at her, Kimi couldn't see that because she was too focused on what he said.

"o-oh okay... I actually wanted to talk to you privately about something important"

Itto looked at Sara with a confused look " hey Tengu I'm coming back just give me a minute" Sara nodded and waited where she was as Kimi dragged Itto to a little corner between two houses, Sara could still see them but she couldn't hear them, the place was a bit crowded so no one would notice Sara looking at them by the corner of her eye.

"A-Arataki-san, I just wanted to make it clear that I don't see you as my big brother" she said while blushing

"what do you mean? did I do something wrong?"

"N-No of course not Arataki-san, I don't see you as a big brother because.... I-I love you Arataki-san"

Itto looked at her even more confused "you love me? like love, me love me as a boyfriend?"

Kimi nodded her head

"I.... I'm sorry Kimi but I don't feel the same, I on the other hand only see you as a sister"

She looked very sad and heartbroken

"I-I understand" she was holding her tears "then at least I want you to see me as a friend for three seconds"

"three seconds? why I don't understa-" she kissed him for a few seconds, enough for Sara to see it, get heartbroken and tears started filling her eyes but she had to hold them in as much as she could, but it wasn't enough time for Itto to push her back.

"Why did you do that Kimi ! I told you I only see you as a sister"

"Well sometimes you should learn to see it from another person's view, you're extremely selfish"

"EXCUSE ME? Selfish really? Is it my fault for wanting to love someone because it's my will and not because I'm forced to? I think you're the selfish one, because love has to be from the both people in the relationship... I still see you as my sister, I might be mad but you're my sist-"

" I want nothing to do with you anymore"

"wh-"

"if you won't love me as your girlfriend then I can't stand being anywhere near you"

Itto simply glared at her, he was thinking to himself, how can someone be so selfish? how could someone end seven years of friendship just because someone doesn't share the same feelings? he never saw this side of her, was she always putting up a face for him?

" I can't believe that I though highly of you... if you wanna end our friendship then so be it" Itto turned away and walked towards Sara

"IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT FUCKER ISN'T IT?" Kimi pointed at Sara looking like she's about to tear her apart.

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL HER THAT, AND SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT"

"I'M GONNA RIP HER TO SHREADS JUST YOU WAI-" the only thing she felt was someone slap her, she looked at Itto looking bloodthirsty, his eyes became an even darker shade of red, the white in his eyes became black, his horns became bigger, his fangs where also bigger, and he had a darker aura around him. just looking at him could make someone fain or possibly kill them.

"If you even think about it ever again I'll tear you apart" The shock of the scare didn't let her move. she just saw him as he parted ways.

Itto didn't have the heart to hurt her more so he calmed down and made his way to Sara

"Hey Sara sorry that took longer than expected, wanna eat something else?" He said leaving everything that just happened for the past to take away, although he's sad for leaving a friend, he still didn't want to do anything with a selfish person with him.

"...No..." She said plainly looking at him with a cold expression.

He was very confused, that's even colder than anytime she talked to him, at first he though she was just tiered but the fact that Sara needed less sleep than him struck his mind. Then he realized that she might have see what happened with Kimi.

He looked around to see many people walking around,

He took her by the hand and rushed to her house, but she was trying to resist and her actions where making it hard for him to run. So he stopped and looked at her.

" What do you think you where doing dumbass?"

"you're sad... and mad"

"wh-? what the hell are you talking about I'm fine..."

"Don't lie to me, I can see it in your eyes"

Sara looked at him with sadness in her eyes, she was about to deny it again, but Itto picked her up catching her off guard, and rushed to her house before she could pull any stunts.

She was very embarrassed of what the Oni had done to her, he was so fast people could barely tell he held someone with him, they just figured it's a boy in a hurry, well it was partially true, if he would've slowed down a bit, it would look as if he was kidnapping her.

Itto reached Sara's house and slammed the door behind him, "let's talk shall we?"
