Nakano and her brother stayed behind after the underground fight gathering ended. The four guys from his friend group stayed as well. After Manjiro left, she hasn't uttered a word. She just kept to herself, not sharing glances with anyone.
The events of the day are a lot for her to take in. She watched her brother brawl against a Toman member. Well, more like acting as a punching bag. Then, she met the commander of the Tokyo Manji Gang, who's a complete mystery to her.
She doesn't feel shame when she admits her pure hatred and distrust for this guy. He may seem like a harmless teenager at first glance, but what she saw him do today was the perfect example of 'don't judge a book by its cover'.
And this book is impossible to read or decipher.
"You were fucking awesome, Takemichi!"
The auburn eyed Hanagaki twin fails to drown out the childish antics of her male counterpart's friends. She just recently learned that the black haired pervert is Makoto, and the kid with the half-up little bun and glasses is Yamagishi. As much as she finds them annoying, they seem harmless, which doesn't ignite hatred for them. Just slight irritation.
And the other half, Takuya and Akkun, who are currently sitting in front of her on a bench with her brother while she stands. They're more matured ones, likely more so than her brother at the moment. Part of her wants to thank this group for taking care of her brother on the days she wasn't there for him, but she sees how uncomfortable they seem to be around her. Therefore, she decides against it, and just stays out of their way.
"You got the 'Invincible Mikey' to notice you!"
Upon hearing that new title, Nakano knits her brows together. 'Invincible, huh. Sano Manjiro must have quite the reputation.'
"Don't forget Nakano-san," Akkun adds, still slouching in his spot. "She stood up and spoke back to him of all people."
Yamagishi and Makoto then glance in Nakano's direction, in which she stays still and stoic. She doesn't want the unneeded attention.
"Fucking awesome," she hears them utter in unison.
Having the attention on her, she tenses ever so slightly and keeps her gaze fixed on the ground. They've mustered up the balls to look in her direction, and utter a compliment to her. Not sure how to feel or react, she does neither and keeps her mouth shut.
From her peripheral vision, she can see the horrified look on her twin's face. It's as if he just realized the situation they were plopped in against their will. Then again, neither of them asked to relive their past and change the future. Yet here they are.
"So, you're 'Takemitchy' now, according to Mikey," Yamagishi says, as if mocking the boy respectfully.
"Nakano-san has a new nickname too-"
The lone girl cuts him off with a death glare. No words need to be said. Her eyes normally do the talking for her. She's had enough of hearing that name from other people's mouths.
"A-Anyway..."
The two fanboys create a bigger distance between themselves and the black haired girl, much to her relief.
"They're idiots, aren't they?" As they start reenacting the scene from today, Akkun approaches Takemichi. "But it's been a while since they've been saying stupid things."
"'From today onwards, you're my bitches!'" Nakano silently sneers at the words that come out of Makoto's mouth.
As the group laughs, Takuya joins in as well. "I'll be Draken!"
