Mikey watches as the first division leaders walk into the abandoned building. He was informed of the attack on Nakano, Takemitchy and Hakkai. But that was the least of his worries when he was informed of the incident.
He wasn't told of Nakano's state. He knows that she fought, but he doesn't know if she got any injuries, or if she got treated if she did. He assumes she's okay, otherwise Takemitchy would've said something.
"Takemitchy." He calls to the male Hanagaki twin, who visibly stiffens under Mikey's leader facade. "Where's your sister?"
"She said that it wasn't her place to come because she's not a Toman admin," Takemitchy answers formally.
Mikey refrains from frowning. 'Kano-chin really likes to disappear randomly, doesn't she.'
However, he has a bad feeling. Nakano follows her twin everywhere. When these two are apart, it really makes him worry. Especially after how rocky their relationship has been.
He seems to be the only one who notices the one sidedness. Though, he doesn't want to jump to any drastic conclusions, so brushes this off as her tendency to be overly formal.
"Very well," he says reluctantly. "Let's begin this meeting."
'I want to see her again... I should check on her after this meeting.'

Nakano arrived at Yuzuha's house, and has been here for about an hour now. They've had really nice talks, asking about each other's day, and talking about Nakano's girl friends, Emma and Hinata. Yuzuha was very enthusiastic at the idea of meeting them.
"So... Do you know what's happening at the meeting." Yuzuha hands Nakano a small cup of green tea. "It's about Hakkai, isn't it."
"Yeah. I don't know all the details, but Takemichi said it was definitely about that incident with Taiju." The two girls sit across from each other at the dining table. "He hasn't done anything to you since I last saw you, did he?"
The female Shiba lightly shrugs, eyes looking down at her tea. "Not as bad as usual. I bet it has to do with Hakkai joining the Black Dragons."
"I doubt Manjiro will let him go. We might even end up fighting the Black Dragons. If it comes to battle, we can defeat them and get Taiju the hell out of your life."
"It won't be that easy," Yuzuha snaps, aggressively setting her teacup down. "God, I hate this so much. You already got hurt because of me."
"Were you the one that almost broke my bones?" Nakano gets a head shake as a response. "No. You didn't tell me to fight him. You didn't tell him to attack me out of nowhere. Don't go blaming your brother's actions, or my retaliation, on yourself."
The black haired girl gently sets her teacup down as Yuzuha tries to calm herself. "Sorry... I just... It's a lot..."
Nakano hums in agreement. Yuzuha may seem numb to the pain, and used to the suffering. But it can eventually become too much for her to handle. She can't already tell her friend's on the verge of crumbling under the pressure.
"How long has this been going on for?"
Yuzuha takes a breath. "Since our mother died..."
Her auburn eyes glance back down at the tea. "I'm sorry for your loss."
"It's fine. Without our parents here, Taiju's the one raising us."
'So no one is here to stop the abuse.' Nakano takes into consideration that a father was never mentioned. 'They've been living without parents since they were all children? How come no one noticed or tried to stop and help? How did they even manage without them?'
