Punk and Goth Chapter 6

As the next day reaches, the rays of the sunlight peek onto my closed eyes, urging me to wake up hazily from my slumber. Blinking my eyes a few times, I steadily climb out of my bed, stretching and exercise my limbs, feeling better than before since my body is quick to heal, even though the remnants remain, which are some bruises from strong punches. I head to the bathroom to brush and rinse my teeth, and then going down the flight of stairs, I don’t see any sign of my members around, and thus I begin to look for them in the living room.

“If you’re looking for them, they already left an hour ago.” Kuroi sets up breakfast for the both of them.

“Oh, thanks then. Good Morning to you though.” I smell something fragrant and sweet.

“Likewise and I made breakfast, hope you don’t mind oatmeal.” Kuroi heads back to the kitchen, getting two mugs of hot milk.

“Its fine, I’m not picky with food anyway.” I just sit in front of her.

From my view, the breakfast that she cooked has assorted nuts, milk and oats in it. It looks rather appetizing than I thought. Dipping the spoon into the oatmeal, I gulp it in my mouth and my eyes widened so you could say I ended up eating continuously but slowly, since food is more enjoyed in leisure. Kuroi ends up smiling while I eat.

“You look like a little kid when you eat like that.” She also eats as well.

“Sorry, it’s really good, I mean it. What’s in it?” I just slowly eat while she starts explain.

“It has Cashews, Almonds, Walnuts and Macadamias, along with some low fat milk and honey. I think sugar is a bit unhealthy, so I replaced it with honey, but this dish is meant to be bland. Having some sweetness in a meal is okay right?” She just smiles as she takes another bite.

“Its fine, honey is a very healthy alternative, so I don’t mind. You brought this all the way from home?” Kuroi just smiles at him.

“I did, thought it might be a nice thing to make.” Both of them just eat quietly.

Eventually, both of them are done indulging on their nutritious breakfast. Kuroi washes the dishes while Hisashi sips on his mug of milk in the living room. While he finishes his serving, his phone vibrates on the coffee table in front of him. Curious about whom it is, he steadily lands his hand on the phone, clutching and scrolling his phone to see the notification. Opening his inbox, he notices a video file.

“This video...?” He clicks it to play.

The video begins to roll as the surroundings look a little creepy in his sight. The camera gives us a tour around the area and it has like axes, whips, chains, mallets and more junk to mention. What made me hold my laugh is that I see the Midnight Crows restrained in those wheel-like attractions where you throw random weapons at them; you can mostly witness that in a circus. Kuroi heads over to me since I’m done with the dishes.

“What are you watching?” Kuroi asks as she sits near him.

He pause the video.

“This must be a video of them torturing that gang.” Kuroi leans closer to get a better look.

“Well, can you play it now?” Hisashi’s face became a bit flushed when he notices her being close.

“Y-yeah...” He plays the video once more.

Since it was paused at the scene where the Midnight Crows were restrained on some wheel, Hisashi just rewinds the video till at the very start, thus playing it. The members of Green Daggers and Monochrome Beasts have a pile of random weapons on their side. As the wheels started to spin in a normal pace, their leader Kizami starts to whine like usual.

“Hey, can we guys talk about this calmly?” He notices the leader of the Greens throwing an axe, landing near his head.

“No way, all of you really deserve a beating.”The Green’s leader said as Kizami has a scared expression when he looks at the axe.

“Boss, can we start now?” One of the members asked, holding a spear on his left hand.

“Go ahead; let’s make sure nothing is left injured.” The Monochromes leader threw a spear at Kizami, landing on his palm.

All of the members hear him scream from the pain, thus starting their weapon-throwing bonanza as the wheel speeds up a bit fast. One by one, all of them members threw mallets, spears, swords, and knives. For some of the members, they have a number of shotguns with them, firing a single bullet one by one as the wheel turns faster. All of the members are screaming in pain and agony as the said weapons land on their limbs. The members were just laughing when the green’s leader notices the camera and goes up to it.

“Well, for whoever is watching this, this is a real footage of the Midnight Crows being tortured, but don’t worry, we’ll be sending them to a nearby hospital. I hope none of the crows will say about this, or we’ll do this again, alright? Heard that you pigeons?!” The Midnight Crows nod in a panicked way.

The video ends with the leader waving at us, walking back to his assign position for more torture. As he keeps his phone, both of them stare at each other accidentally since he literally forgot that Kuroi got close to him, with the awkwardness lingering in their current area, Hisashi can’t help but blush a bit due to the situation.

“Why are you blushing?” Kuroi asks, looking at him on the eye.

“It’s just awkward looking at you up close, especially when you try sitting on top of me last night...” He just looks away.

“You may have changed your looks and attitude, but your shyness is still within you, how cute.” Kuroi just giggles.

“I’m not shy! Don’t be such a bully.” He just moves away, getting up from the couch.

“Well I’m sorry, and I’ll be taking a bath okay?” Kuroi stands up and waves, going to my room since her bag is there.

With a sigh, I just walk the flight of stairs to my room as well since I’m going to pick out a certain amount of clothes. From the moment I enter my room, I just check my huge closet to choose some clothing and trying to Ignore Kuroi, who heads into my bedroom’s shower with her wardrobe. I carefully pick out today’s wardrobe, which is a gray t-shirt with a pair of headphones as a print, black jeans and underwear. Since the bathroom is occupied in the second floor, I’ll be using the one on the first floor.

“I wonder what kind of day I will have today.” I ask as I go through the bathroom door, locking it up.

Meanwhile in the risky cities of Osaka, there’s a huge silver car on motion. From the driver’s seat, there’s a hologram version of a GPS locating a certain area as she drives the spacious roads within the city. Driving with one hand, she glances at her phone, looking at a picture of Kuroi with a cake resting on both of her hands.

“She’s wandering off like usual, good thing she gave me instructions to where she is.” She just picks up the pace as she turns to the next road.

Back at Hisashi’s house, he’s through with bathing, along with putting necessary stuff on him like deodorants on him, dressing himself up and spraying the masculine-styled perfume on his shirt. Applying his red contacts on his eyes and combing his hair a bit since he prefers a ruffled hairdo with his bangs, he steps out of the bathroom clutching the towel on his bare hand, heading out through the back door leading to the backyard where he hangs the towel he used.

“I’m going to hang this here.” Hisashi hangs it up on the clothesline, securing it with a clothespin.

As he walks towards the door and landing his hand on the knob, a sound of a car driving and parking in front of the house is obviously heard. Feeling curious about who is outside, he just sneaks a peek near the front door by the left as he moves closer.

“A big silver car and there’s a slightly muscular yet curvaceous woman going to the door.” I just ran to the door the moment I saw it.

The lady outside his residence in a white sleeveless polo shirt and black jeans steps forward to the door, looking at Kuroi’s picture with a slight confused face.

“Of all the places, why is she in this house around the woodlands?” She rings the doorbell.

In haste, I unlock the door to see who it is and it’s a lady with a white sleeveless polo shirt, black jeans, a cross necklace and  black layered hair covering a bit one of her black eyes by the left. Both of us just stare out of fear when she shows a picture of somebody through her phone.

“Is there a person that looks like this around?” The picture appears to be Kuroi’s alternate outfit with a cake.

“Isn’t that Kuroi Yatsuhashi?” I asked as she just nods.

“Yes, and she said that she’s around here, so can I come in?” She politely asks.

“You can, and I think she’s still fixing herself.” I just let her in.

Removing her flat shoes and temporarily swapping them with house slippers, she just leisurely waits for Kuroi to be done as I bring a tall glass iced tea for her as refreshment by tray. As I return to the kitchen to lay out the tray near the sink, Kuroi steps out of my room as she slowly goes downstairs with a bag, wearing a black lace dress that reveals the shoulders, but the sleeves are around her armpit, lace gloves, Mary Jane shoes, black stockings and a matching mini hat with a black lace ribbon around it. Her hair is in a rose-braided hairdo like yesterday, along with wearing her purple contacts.

“You’re going somewhere?” I ask as she reaches the 1^st floor.

“Yeah, and I’m guessing we have a guest.” She turns to see a person on the couch.

“Kuroi, my niece, you were here last night?’ She asks in a slight annoying manner.

“Niece, is she your aunt?” Hisashi asks as she looks at Kuroi.

“Yes, she’s my aunt, and also my guardian.” Kuroi heads over to her, doing a curtsy with her dress.

My fear right now is that I’m with women, but those two aren’t that bad. With both of them sitting down, I just take a seat a bit near them and both of them started to talk as I just listen.

“Well, I’m here to spend time with you Kuroi, like I promised.” she smiles as Kuroi just hugs her.

“Thanks, even though i know you’re really occupied. Can we take Hisashi with us?” She asks as Hisashi has his eyes widened.

“Hisashi? Is this the Hisashi you often talk about in the past?” Hisashi just looks at them.

“Yeah, though he had some changes.” Kuroi replies with a nervous smile.

“Yeah, from what I recall, he looks shy and neatly groomed, but he looks a bit like a punk.” Her aunt just teases.

“So can you come with us?” Kuroi asks.

I think about it for a short while and I reply.

“Well if you’re okay with me, then I can.” I just smile anxiously.

 Settling the free trip that I will be experiencing, I pack a backpack upstairs with water, extra clothes, men’s perfume, phone, ear set and my pocket money, which is a slightly huge amount. Checking every room if I left any lights or appliances open, I just wear and tie my sneakers on, going outside and locking my house, bringing along the key. Both of them are already in that huge vehicle. I wonder what day will I really be experiencing today?
