After her ceremony, the next few days, Natasha felt like she was 40ft high. She felt like she was on cloud 9 and she never wanted this feeling to end! “Another strike!” Natasha smiled at Hakkai who bowled another strike in his lane. Taking her pink ball, Natasha then rolled her 15lbs ball down the lane only to get 8 pins. “Ugh! I swear I’ll never get how you do it man!!” Natasha groaned as she pouted over her 8 pin shot. Hakkai only smiled at her and patted her head. “I could give you lessons. I’m a great teacher.~” He said in a flirtatious tone. Natasha giggled and replied. “Oh I’m sure you are. So Shiba Sensei, when’s my first lesson?~” As she said this, Natasha snaked her hand up Hakkai’s arm and stared at him with lustful eyes. Face turning red and fully flustered, the boy nearly dropped his ball on his foot which made both Natasha and Yuhuza laugh hysterically. “Oh she got you good!”

Hakki groaned and turned back to the bowling lane. “You guys aren’t funny!” A little while later, the trio were joined by 1st division captain Takemichi and his girlfriend Hinata. As Hina and Yuhuza talked amongst themselves and shared snacks, Takemichi, Natasha and Hakkai bowled. That was until Natasha decided she was done for the day and joined the girls for a little gossip time. “You know Natasha, You and Hakkai are such a cute couple! The way you look together is so sweet!” Hina said as she smiled sweetly at the girl in front of her who was pigging out on a donut she brought prior to coming to the bowling alley. “W-what?! No! Hina we’re not dating!” Yuzuha smirked as she watched Natasha nearly choke on her donut.

“Sure but you can’t deny, you guys practically act like you are. You guys can’t keep your eyes off each other. I counted 6 times he’s looked back here to check on you.” Sure enough, as Natasha turned to look at Hakkai, their eyes met. The taller boy smiled before turning back to Takemichi who demanded a match in something else. Which led the 5 to other activities in the bowling alley. One of those being a punching game. As Takemichi punched the pad, the screen came up saying his punch was 50%, yet when Hakkai punched the pad, his came up as 100%. Natasha cheered for the taller boy, making him smirk and lead Takemichi to the next game. Whack-a-Mole. While Takemichi struggled to hit a few moles, Hakkai hit them with accurate speed and precision.

Which once again, made Natasha cheer for her friend. Though she was sure it seemed like her support was platonic, Hina and Yuhuza kept smiling at each other with knowing expressions sharing the same thought. Natasha and Hakkai were totally into each other and it was only a matter of time before the two became a couple. The next and last game was pool. Once again, when Takemichi failed to hit a ball into the pocket, Hakkai succeeded. A bright smile came to Natasha’s face as she cheered louder for her friend which only fueled Hakkai’s confidence and suggested a game of ping pong. Yuhuza however was quick to point out there was no ping pong game in the building and that she was ready to go.

As the 5 walked to Hakkai and Yuhuza’s place, Natasha looked at her phone as texts from her brothers popped up asking for her whereabouts and if she needed a ride home since they weren’t at all busy. She was so engrossed in her phone, she hadn’t watched where she was going and bumped into Hakkai’s back. “Woah there, you okie?” He asked, turning to her and smiling. Natasha felt her face heat up as she noticed just how handsome her friend was. Even though they flirted with each other and hung out quite a lot, not once did it cross Natasha’s mind that Hakkai was potential boyfriend material until now. She was starting to feel butterflies in her tummy as the feelings she was sure were platonic started hitting her like a truck. She liked Hakkai. Really liked him. However, she wasn’t sure he felt the same.

“Y-yea man I’m good!” Hakkai looked down at her seriously before shrugging as they went on to his and Yuhuza’s house. However as they turned the corner, they were greeted by the sound of engines, cussing and loud mouthed guys dressed in white uniforms with the emblem BD on the back written in black. “Shit.” Yuhuza whispered as they walked closer to try and get past the gang. As they tried, a handsome black haired boy with a very …interesting hairstyle, stopped them by telling them they were in Black Dragon territory and they don’t appreciate Hakkai bringing home friends etc. Natasha wasn’t paying attention however because of tw things. The boy’s good looks and her utter boredom from his blabbering. That was until he asked who they were.

“I've seen those two before. The blonde pussy is the 1st division captain of Toman. Takemichi Hanagaki. The purple haired chick is the 6th division captain. She just got in Toman not long ago. Apparently, she’s the one that nearly got killed for the commander’s sister. Heard she’s badass.” One of the guy’s said while looking at her. The black haired boy’s face contorted into anger as he heard these words.”You mean to tell me we got Toman pricks on our turf?!” Natasha then started to tense and glared at the boy. She then knew with his reaction and the way the others were looking at her like she was their prey, she wasn’t gonna walk away without a fight. And she had no problem with kicking ass. As she started to crack her knuckles and her right eye twitching, the black haired boy looked at her curiously. “I’m fucking ready if you are pretty boy."
