Shuu Nishikawa and The First Mistake

Ah, Shuu Nishikawa. I haven't talked to him since... since some time after Rei-kun and the others started inviting me with to hang out with them. 

I guess, I just got busy and hung out with Rei-kun often that I forgot about him. But we were close. Really, really close. The three of us.

Ah, I'm starting remember him.  He's very eccentric and a bit too playful one could say. But because of his chuuni nature, it was actually fun being with him. In middle school we would be randomly walking around the neighborhood just doing random stuff. 

I was kinda jealous of him, because he's funny and silly and he would make Miu laugh more than I did. I loved her smile and her laugh. It was pure and soft and gentle. You can tell she was truly happy when she smiled. She wasn't hiding anything behind it. Though, now that I think about it, it's been a while since I saw her smiled that way.

But still... why did he have to appear now of all times...

"Kiyoshi-kun, you know this weirdo?" I wasn't prepared for Rei-kun's question. Ah damn, what should I say. 

"Ki-kun ♡, who is he?" Ah, Yuzuha-chan, uhm... 

Before I could say anything though, "Of courseee, we were allies of war since the World War 3. Serving the supreme leader herself. In war we were revered as the Twin Fangs of the Canis Wolvis empire! A dynamic duo of sorts." 

Ah, Shuu, what are you saying... 

"What is he talking about?" "Is that supposed to be funny?" "There has to be something wrong with him." "This guy is wack." The others gossiped among themselves. 

"Hey, Kiyoshi-kun, you know him or not? And you, shut up. I don't want any answers from you" Rei-kun made sure he is going to receive a clear answer. And from me. 

"Mouth is shut. You know what to say Ki-kun."

"Hey, I'm the only one who calls Ki-kun Ki-kun ♡." 

"Girl, you know nothing about Ki-kun. He has many wives, and you're a mere concubine for the man.

Shuu... you idiot. Stop it please. 

"I told you to shut your mouth didn't I? Kiyoshi-kun, what's the answer."

"Okay, sheesh, tell 'em Ki-kun." Nothing could shut Shuu's mouth. 

"Ki-kun ♡ who is he?" 

Ah... man. Shuu, what have you done... They're all looking at me. What am I supposed to say? If I say I'm his friend or used to be his friend, they... they might think I'm weird. Do I say I don't know him then? I really don't want to lie...   

"Uh... uhm... I- I..." Indecisive, I kept on switching my stare between Shuu and the others. "Uhm...."

Crap! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry Shu... "N-no, I don't know him."

"There we have it. That didn't have to take so long and so annoying as it did. Now can we order? We've wasted enough time as it is, right Kiyoshi-kun?"

"Y-yeah, Rei-kun..." I'm sorry Shuu, but it was kinda your fault. You didn't have to do all this stupid stuff. We could've talked some other time and place. Y-You forced me into doing it Shuu.

"Ah, I see how it is," Shuu mumbled to himself. His voice so low that I couldn't hear what he said.

"Okay, I would like to order some ramen, and this gyoza here, and for the drink I'll-" Before Rei-kun could finish his order, he got interrupted by Shuu.

"Ah... You know what.... I don't feel like taking orders now..."

"Oh man, this guy is killing me." Rei-kun stood up and made his way outside of the table towards him, "Man, f*** this guy." 

"Well, f**-." Rei instantly punched his face the moment he was in punching distance. Shuu instantly bounced back up and made a return jab to Rei's face. 

Shuu's personality always causes him problems. And when they lead to physical fights, he does not back down. He's basically experienced in fighting now. 

One of the waitresses shouted out, "Shuu is in a fight again."

A waiter came in running towards the scene. He locked Shuu's arm and dragged him backwards away from the fight. Rei, who was on the floor was about to pounce back at him, but Hamasaki held him in bay, "Rei, let's just get out of here."

"Yeah, let's get out of this stupid place. The food probably sucked anyways. I don't know how you managed to find this place out," He stood up and tidied himself up. He placed his hands on his cheek to see how much it hurt. "Let's go. I'm hungry, Let's hurry and find some other place than this dump." 

"Let's go Ki-kun ♡."

"Y-yeah..." Me and the other three who was still sitting on the table stood up and followed Rei and Hamasaki who was already going for the exit. 

Shuu, you idiot... what have you done....

As I was walking at the very back of the others, I managed to hear Shuu's parting words to me, "You made a mistake Ki-kun. I know what happened between you and Miu. I know everything about Miu."

Huh? How does he know? What does he know about Miu? I turned my body to face him. 

"But you have made your choice. Leave Ki-kun. Leave me like you left Miu. Leave and don't f****** come back." Shuu's tone became sharp and serious, opposite to how he normal talk. His eyes giving me a death stare.

"Shuu! W-what do you mean?" 

Yuzuha-chan who was infront of me heard me. "Ki-kun ♡, what's wrong? Let's go."

"Go, Ki-kun. Just f****** go already."
