《Would You Rather?》Necromancy~

I was sitting inside the train trying to head back home on this somehow peaceful Sunday morning, Cupid was seated on my lap totally chilling, but at times I found myself dozing in and out, hence why the following upcoming call managed to startle me.

"Good morning?" I asked in a tired voice, hoping the person on the other end would keep it brief.

"Mikey is summoning all the captains so you better be present." My boyfriend yelled into the lure making me pull away the phone from my ear while I looked at it in disbelief.

"But we had a meeting literally yesterday, what is this about? I don't feel like going out today. I'm way too exhausted." I spoke, but despite my refusal, he kept pushing me to come.

"If you really want me to come so bad, you better walk me home afterward." After we came to an agreement, I let him know that it would take some time before I could reach the meet-up so they postponed it one hour just at my request.

Once I arrived at the Tokyo station, still dressed in my Toman uniform because that's what I was clothed in when I abruptly left the city yesterday afternoon, I bought a lunch box and left for my destination by catching a taxi. I arrived earlier than anyone else so I spared the few minutes I had for dining. As soon as Keisuke came over he was quick on entertaining my cat.

"Cupid what are you doing here?"

"He tagged along on my adventures." Was the cat's simple response, yes I translated for him. So he proceeded to take the cat on his own lap and I just used his shoulder as my personal headrest.

"Sorry I didn't know you were this sleepy, what were you even doing during the night?" He asked as I just brushed the question off for now.

"I can explain it once the meeting is over." It took a few minutes for all the people to gather, but once they did Mikey started to engage in a conversation looking somehow excited.

I heard the word being spoken, but my mind couldn't really comprehend what he was talking about due to all the exhaustion I was feeling from the bad sleep I received.

"Listen, guys, have you heard that one of our gang members was spotted in Osaka, we saw on the morning news program how they fed the tiger, that escaped the zoo's enclosure, with meat they purchased from the supermarket and guided them back to the zoo. So no authorities needed to get involved, by putting the animal down." After that everyone glanced at Kazutora, who strangely enough also was here even if this was supposed to be a captain-only meeting. So I decided to take the opportunity to close my eyes because no one was paying attention to me.

"Guys guys, even if I have a tiger kanji in my name, I'm not crazy enough to do any of this... I was at home when this happened... but I do know someone that is inside Toman that had been missing from home yesterday." I heard some throats being cleared, but not until Keisuke elbowed me did I feel the need to open my eyes, when I did I realized everyone was staring in my direction.

"What do you want? Let me nap." I pouted.

"What were you last night?" Mikey asked looking quite intrigued. I yawned before telling him.

"Out on an adventure with my cat."

"Where exactly?" He asked.

"I took a trip to Osaka... and on my adventure to find myself I encountered a tiger...Why are you all looking at me like this?" I questioned.

"So it was you, wait that means you weren't listening to me!" Mikey looked like he took offense to me zooming out on his speech.

"Sorry sleeping in a tiger enclosure is not ideal when you had a such mass of muscle nearly squishing you to death." People became speechless all of sudden.

"You slept with the tigers? This is even beyond you Michi, that could have been dangerous." Keisuke expressed, I guess this was too much thrill even for his stomach.

"Well it wasn't and by now you should know why it had to be done."

"Ahh... then did you?" He asked as I nodded my head.

"Yes, it's done, complete!"

"What is complete?" Mikey asked, probably he felt left out.

"You will see, tonight for now I will leave your ass in the dark... I will meet you once every procedure is done."

"And what is that supposed to mean?" The poor boy looked so confused.

"You will love the surprise, trust me." Keisuke let out as Takemichi agreed with him, so Mikey tried to pester him to get out the secret.

"No no Mikey, I want to see your shocked face and if we tell you I won't be able to, so you will wait at home until we come to you."

"Wait does it mean you want me there when you perform a strange ritual?" Takemichi questioned.

"I mean if you want to come... be my guest."

"You guys seem to love to talk in secret codes." I heard Hanma declare.

"Precisely, we are like the elite group." So we all headed towards my home, meaning with Keisuke, Takemichi, and Kazutora.

"This whole thing sounds so shady." Takemichi let out looking a little bit terrified.

"Takemichi you are in fact not part of a horror movie, even if it was close to becoming a thriller."

"What was that supposed to mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean." I guess hanging with those energetic people dissolved my need for sleep even if momentarily. But when I invited them into my room they weren't expecting to see a whole cloak with a hood hanging on my chair, waiting to be put on.

"What is this getup Michi?" Keisuke was the only one brave enough to ask.

"My warlock cloak, considering I be doing necromancy I need to look the part while performing it don't you think?" I then revealed a hand-drawn pentagon under the rug in my room.

"How long have you been planning this?" My brother asked since he didn't seem to have any clue this existed.

"Like a week ago?" It must have been this long already. None of them looked impressed.

"What people have to do something to entertain themself and sometimes playing dark magic-wielding warlock can do the trick. I bet none of you understand because you haven't dipped your toes in dnd." I argued.

"Something tells me that being part of weird events won't end with the system."

"Oh, I saw this woman once dressing like a gorilla scaring her husband... How does this future sound to you?" I left him speechless, yes perfect.

"Let's begin." I basically just sat in the circle and suddenly with a puff of smoke Shinichiro appeared.

"But wait I didn't even get to say my wish yet I was anticipating this to wind up some dramatics, what is this about?" I looked at the other people for some opinions but they all shrugged their shoulders.

"Yea you didn't..." I looked at the black-haired guy wanting him to continue, it seemed like the dead stranger got my cue soon after.

"Right right, actually the reason you're here is because of me." My eyes went wide in shock.

"Say what now?" That was a plot twist I wasn't anticipating.

"So I happened to encounter a system and it told me I could resurrect once the person of my choice completed all their wacky missions... and I must come clean, at times I was the one that came up with those weird things for you to do, sorry but I could only follow you around and you were my only sort of entertainment." So it meant I have been followed by Mikey's dead brother for my entire stay here?

"Say what?" I just fell to the floor trying to apprehend the new knowledge that I just received.

"Yo yo yo, Keisuke you heard that?" I turned at him pointing in Shinichiro's direction. But my hubby seemed to have an existential crisis if it was a good idea to approach the guy.

"No, he's not a zombie Keisuke you can safely approach." And I turned to the adult standing in the middle of my room.

"So why me?" I questioned as my boyfriend took a leap of faith and embraced him.

"Yes, it's nice to see you again Keisuke..." Then he looked at my brother who started to cry while saying.

"I'm so sorry." He forgave Kazutora for his mishap in the past and once the situation calmed itself down I repeated the question.

"You were shown as one of the candidates in the search function, and the system said that you were more likely to accept the missions and take them seriously while seizing some liberty to have fun with it. At first, I wasn't convinced because of your hermit status, but in the end, I bet on you because the system told me your compatibility with Keisuke was huge. So I thought in case you ended up dating him, there was a huge chance Mikey would be part of your life too... despite I never predicted that you would outright see my brother and treat him like a literal baby."

"I mean he acts like a child that wants to be taken care of, what did you even expect? Like he has a full-time babysitter accompanying him at all times."

"I don't think Draken will like you saying that." Keisuke pointed out.

"We always have beef with each other what's new?"

"So does it mean I have still a wish left?" Shinichiro confirmed it.

"Great... have you ever thought Keisuke's mom is hot?"

"Michi what the hell?" My boyfriend wasn't too happy.

"I bet you will be ecstatic at having a stepdad that is basically a second coming of Jesus, maybe all those strange Japanese cults are indeed right when they mention he was reincarnated in this country." I received some facepalms.

"So I can go and reincarnate another person? I want all the credit for this work I can get."

"Don't tell me you will proclaim yourself to be a god?" I stood up, and after stroking my imaginary beard I let out.

"They need to know, what kind of power I hold."

"Who are you even going to bring back to life?" Shinichiro questioned.

"Is for me to know and for you to wonder, now help me phrase it nicely so no tricks can be pulled on me." So of course I used my wish on bringing to life Inupi's sister, because why not. Naturally as a gentleman, I first politely asked her soul whether she even wanted to come back after so many years.

"I guess I have a confirmation." And so another puff of smoke Akane appeared in my room.

"Great there is no smoke alarm in here." Kazutora let out because it got all coughing.

"So who's the girl?" Everyone seemed interested, so my response to the matter was.

"You will see, you will see." I was ready to call the two guys in question and disrespectfully demand their presence in my home.
