--
Breakfast was full of laughter at my expense.
Nejire poked me, grinning as she showed her phone. "Look at this. Hilarious."
I glanced at the screen. Ryukyu had gone full meme mode.
The first one was a screenshot from the agency’s security footage. I was standing there, bowing slightly, looking uncharacteristically polite. The caption?
"When you gotta thank your boss so she doesn't report your ass to the cops."
The second one was still photo of my bending ass, mid-bow. She’d added a text bubble over my head that said, "Please don’t fire me, Mama Ryukyu, I swear I’ll behave."
Mirko was wheezing. "This is gold."
She shoved her phone in my face, her whole body shaking like she was about to collapse from laughter. I already knew it was bad before I even looked.
Ryukyu was just sitting there, sipping her tea, the same calm, composed bitch she always was.
I snatched the phone out of Mirko’s hand.
There it was. A screenshot of me bowing—and not even a little dip of the head, no, full-ass respectful incline—with the caption:
“Gotta butter up your boss so she doesn't fire you.”
I closed my eyes. "You motherfu—"
Nejire snatched it back before I could do anything. "Oooo, she made another one!"
I didn’t need to see it. I could hear the fucking glee in her voice.
Mirko leaned in, grinning. "Oh, this one's even better. Look at the text bubble—"
I did not want to look at the text bubble.
I looked.
“POV: You just realized she’s got security cameras.”
I handed the phone back to Mirko. Then turned to Ryukyu, who had not stopped fucking smiling since I walked in. "This is why no one respects you."
She took another sip of tea, perfectly content. "And yet, here you are. Bowing."
Mirko lost it again, banging the table. Nejire was giggling into her sleeve. One of the sidekicks peeked around the corner, took one look at the situation, and noped the fuck out.
I exhaled through my nose. "You do realize I am going to get revenge for this."
Ryukyu set her tea down. "You won’t."
I narrowed my eyes. "You wanna bet?"
She didn’t even blink. "I’ll win."
The sheer audacity.
"Alright," I said, cracking my neck. "It’s on."
Mirko wiped a tear from her eye. "Oh man, I forgot how much fun it is having you around."
I grumbled, "Sure."
Mirko snickered, leaning back in her chair, arms behind her head. "Man, you’re taking this real well. I thought you’d be crying about your image or some shit."
Ryukyu raised a brow. "What image?"
Nejire muffled a laugh behind her hand. "Yeah, I don’t think Ryuu has an image to protect. His whole thing is just ‘cause chaos and somehow not get arrested.’"
I scratched my neck. "I feel like there’s a little too much slander happening right now."
Mirko shrugged. "Just facts, brat."
The sidekick sitting nearby made the mistake of trying to suppress a chuckle. I turned, locking onto him immediately. "You got something to add, dude?"
He tensed. "Nope."
I leaned forward slightly. "You sure? ‘Cause it kinda sounded like you had something to say."
He looked at Ryukyu for backup. She didn’t even glance up from her tea. "You got yourself into this," she muttered.
Mirko grinned. "Yeah, bro, say it with your chest. What was so funny?"
The sidekick hesitated, then shook his head quickly. "Nothing. Just… enjoying my coffee."
I stared him down a second longer before leaning back. "That’s what I thought."
Mirko shook her head. "Bullying poor sidekicks now, huh? Look at you, growing up so fast."
Nejire poked my arm. "So, what’s your revenge plan? Are you gonna meme her back?"
I looked at Ryukyu, who met my gaze with the same blank, unreadable look she always had. No smugness, no amusement—just the quiet confidence of someone who knew they had already won.
I exhaled. "No. I’m taking this slow."
Mirko whistled. "Damn. You’re actually planning shit out? You must be really pissed."
I waved her off. "Nah, I just know this is a long game. Gotta wait for the perfect moment."
Ryukyu sipped her tea. "Good luck with that."
Nejire hummed. "Ooo, are we making this a group effort?"
Mirko immediately perked up. "Oh, I’m down. If this is an anti-Ryukyu coalition, sign me up."
Ryukyu sighed. "This is ridiculous."
[MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY! GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY! THE REAL MC IS HERE! IN DAA HOUSE!]
I rolled my eyes, 'Seriously, how old are you? Boomer.'

The screen flashed, the words burning into my vision.
I exhaled. “…This one’s different.”
[NO SHIT. WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES, DUMBASS.]
Great. Just fucking great.
Shit. This sounded too serious. I pulled my phone out, thumb hovering over the screen before I just typed out, "Wuzzup girl?"
Nejire leaned over immediately. "Hey, hey, who are you texting? Your girlfriend?"
I rolled my eyes. "Nah."
She wiggled her fingers. "Lemme see!"
"Back up, nosy ass." I shoved her face away before she could snatch my phone.
Himiko Toga replied a second later. Just seeing her pet name on my screen already made my life more complicated.
Her message? "Ryuu~~!!💖 Did you miss me? I missed you sooo much~~!! Ohhh I wanna squeeze you until your insides come out!! ❤️🩸"
I squinted.
Nejire peeked again. "Who’s Blood Bitch?"
"No one," I said, locking my phone.
Mirko, who was lounging nearby, smirked. "Ohhh, that was not a 'no one' face."
"Shut the fuck up."
Nejire gasped. "Wait, wait, wait—is she cute?"
"Yeah, Ryuu," Mirko grinned, "is she cute?"
I was already regretting this. "Can we not?"
Too late. Nejire was on a mission. "Are you dating her? Is she nice? What’s her quirk? What’s her favorite color? Does she know I’m your older sister now?!"
I pushed open the nearest door and slipped out before Nejire could start another round of questions. My phone was already in my hand, thumb hovering over the call button. Toga picked up before the first ring finished.
"Ryuu~~!" Her voice came through like she had been waiting. Heavy breathing, too much excitement.
"Yeah, yeah," I muttered. "Calm down before you pop something. You still in the city?"
"Maybe~" She giggled, but it had that edge. "Why, you miss me?"
"Not really," I lied. "Looking for info. Any big players around? Someone making moves?"
She hummed. "Ohhh, that’s what you called me for? No ‘Hi, Toga, how have you been? Did you stab anyone fun lately?’"
"Fine. Hi, Toga. Have you stabbed anyone fun lately?"
"Not yet, but the day is young~"
Toga dragged it out.
I waited.
Nothing but her breathing, drawn out and slow like she wanted to savor the silence, like the pause itself was a game.
Then, finally—
“Hmmm… what should I ask for?”
I sighed. “If you say my blood, I’m hanging up.”
She giggled. “Ooo, getting smarter! You know I always ask for that first!”
“So?”
“I could ask for a date,” she mused. “Like a real one! Not just you using me for info and then running off to play hero. We could go somewhere nice! Maybe a cozy little café? Or a movie? Or—”
“Pass.”
She groaned. “You didn’t even let me finish.”
“I already know where this is going.”
“But Ryuuuuu,” she whined, voice dipping into that high-pitched, overly sweet tone she used when she wanted to be annoying. “I miss you~”
“You’re deranged.”
“You say that like it’s a bad thing.”
I rubbed my temple. “You want something or not?”
She hummed again, dragging out the moment just a little longer. “A bite.”
I frowned. “What.”
“On your lip. Just a little one. Just enough for a taste~”
“The fuck kind of low-budget vampire fantasy are you running here?”
“The kind where I get what I want.”
I scoffed. “Dream bigger.”
Question: Bold predictions time: What’s Ryuu’s next dumb decision?
Comments
Marvin Baltes
toga gonna join the harem no matter how resistant ryuu is about it initally. you gotta give her credit: she knows what she wants & has an unbreakable will to get it
TheFanficGOD
Yes. She is about to appear.
Travis J Pfenning
This is the Eri arc right if I remember timelines correctly
hector lyng
I hope this decision is approved by Ryukyu and Mirko. I don't want to see him make this decision or plan at the expense of Ryukyu and Mirko's trust.
TheFanficGOD
Haha, Inko be like: "She is a bit wild but she is cute."
Lord Belly
I predict Ryuu’s next dumb decision is openly dating Toga. And introducing her to his mom. “Hey mom this girl is the one who kidnapped me and now we are sorta friends/dating.”
