Chapter 5 - Let's Be Friends: Part 2

Looking at the blank ceiling of his room he sighed. He was too lazy to move. Or do anything. Rolling out of bed he realized he had to get up fast or he wouldn't activate Keiji's friendship event.

Stumbling around his bedroom for a moment he got ready and ran out of the house seeing if he could still catch up.

.....

*KEIJI POV*

Yoshioka Keiji was so tired. But it was somewhat worth it, his family would not be kicked out now. Smiling to himself he kept walking toward his school.

" aaaaaaAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Confused, he did a 360 turn to find the rabbit youth he served yesterday run past him.

But before the rabbit could go far, they tripped and face planted into the sidewalk. Shocked for a moment Keiji just stared at the youth before running up to the boy.

" Hey, are you ok?" standing over to the still youth he was unsure what to do. The rabbit looked up at Keiji. A small wound was on his forehead that was bleeding a little bit.

" What do you think?" the youth said glaring out him. A slight sigh could be heard from the youth before he sat up. Pausing, Keiji started sorting through his school bag, pulling out a small bandage. Unwrapping it, he pressed it on the youth's wound.

Pausing, the rabbit youth locked eyes with Keiji. He gave Keiji a light smile.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

...

*KOHAKU POV*

Well, this wasn't planned.

Kohaku: ' Why did the love interests have to be so good looking!!" (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

This was not supposed to happen. Why did he have to smile!?! He knew Keiji was very susceptible to cute things, so why did he smile!?!

In this scene, the player was supposed to recognize Keiji and have small talk. After school, the player was supposed to visit Cherrypop Cafe in hope of seeing Keiji. You would, of course, find him and through some talking become friends.

But he just skipped over that whole shit and probably entered the area of Keiji's obsession. Yes, Keiji loved cute things that much.

" Oh-uh...thank you...I have to go," Lightly walking away he silently cursed himself.

Satoshi stopped and glanced back. Keiji was still awkwardly staring at him.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope.

Satoshi started walking even faster, eventually deciding to break into a run.

Kohaku: ' Ahhh, I just screwed up big time didn't I?' _(:'3 」∠)_

Arriving at school the classes past by quickly like usual.

" Kai, want to have lunch with me?" A voice said, interrupting Satoshi's empty thoughts. Looking up he realized Kiyoko was smiling at him, a lunchbox in hand.

" Sure," Satoshi mumbled, getting out of his seat to let Kiyoko take the lead.

" I've been meaning to ask since yesterday, but why do you always look out touch with the world?" Kiyoko said staring at the bento in her hands. The duo at the moment was sitting next to one of the biggest trees on campus. Satoshi never brought anything to eat as he found no reason too.

" What do you mean?" He asked as he stared up at the swaying branches of the tree.

" You always have this unfocused look in your eyes, and you take a moment to process anything people say," Kiyoko commented picking at her bento with her chopsticks.

" I guess that's how I've always been," he silently mumbled. His breath caught as he saw in the corner of his eyes the male lead who was talking with a small group of people.

Kohaku: ' Why did he have to appear now?!' (╯°益°)╯彡┻━┻

Getting up he left Kiyoko without a word.

" Hey wait-" she started, but he had already left.

" He is so strange sometimes," Kiyoko said with a frown.

At the moment Satoshi had run into the nearest bathroom and was hugging his knees.

Kohaku: ' I kinda feel lonely in my thoughts without Ryuu'

...

*RYUU POV*

" All we are missing is Chieko and Ren," Murmured a sturdily built wolf.

" She probably is getting bullied by her participant..." Blu said in a worried tone. She was currently in her human form.

Ryuu sighed. It had been like this for a while as all Guardian Hosts, except for sister Ren, and Chieko was waiting for them to show up.

" Hhhh, I just want to start the meeting," Ryuu said. Raising his paw to look at his bean toes he sighed.

" You and me both cat," mumbled the wolf casting a glance at his familiar who was picking at a flower. The familiar was called Mila and was a mouse. The girl had bright yellow eyes with her hair done in a braid. No one knew her hair color as different people would say different things depending on the crimes they've done.

" I keep wondering why you keep such a young familiar Hajime," commented Ryuu. The wolf flicked his ear.

" She has very strong mental energy and potential-" Hajime started.

" Yes, I know very well that she does, but doesn't her young age bring many problems to you?" The wolf snorted who pulled the little girl closer to him who cried out in discontent.

" Sorry for being late," Chieko's cold voice said. She looked very tired with dark circles forming under her eyes.

" Has the girl caused you that much trouble?" Hajime questioned, tilting his large wolf head.

" Mhm, she is not listening to me at all," Chieko sighed as she rubbed her temples.

" Good thing my participant isn't as rowdy as yours," Ryuu chimed in.

" Don't speak cat, that participant isn't even YOURS!" Hajime shot back.

" We get along fine though so it's fine-" Ryuu started.

" You know the rules of the hosts," Hajime growled. They shot daggers at each other as the tension grew thicker.

....

*KOHAKU POV*

Satoshi tried to keep calm. He had decided to visit the cafe as even though he had that accident he would try to lower Keiji's obsession.

Taking a deep breath and entering the store he found..... another employee behind the cashier.

Kohaku: (╮°-°)╮┳━━┳ ( ╯°□°)╯ ┻━━���

Sighing, he decided to order the chocolate fudge cake anyway. Sitting down at the same spot as yesterday he noticed the cafe door open again.

Ah, hope is yet to be lost! Keiji had walked through the door. He must've been late or something.

His gloomy atmosphere flipped into a cheerful one.

After about ten minutes, Keiji appeared with the chocolate cake. A large smile could be seen on Satoshi.

Pausing he watched Satoshi nibble the chocolate cake.

Kohaku: ' *shiver* I love you and all chocolate dispenser but please stop staring' ( ಠ ʖ̯ ಠ)

" Hey, are you ok?" Keiji asked.

" Yeah I'm ok, I just left the bandaid cause I didn't feel like I needed it," Satoshi mumbled as he finished the cake.

Saying thanks to Keiji he got up to leave.

" Come back any time, Satoshi!" Keiji smiled when he waved at him as Satoshi left the store. As he stepped outside.

Wait a minute.
