I'm the best! I'm the king of me! I'm gonna eat chips out of the garbage!

Yu limped through the shopping center, supporting himself on crutches as he made his way through it. This was a pain in the ass, especially since he was stuck like this for a bit longer. And people kept staring at him. Well, it wasn't like you saw an injured teenager on crutches every day. Except they did, because this was Nagashima, land of the Yakuza.

"Oh, Yu-kun! I didn't expect to see you out and about so soon after your accident!" a lady called. Yu waved politely.

"There's just some things that cannot wait until I recover, Sayuri-san," Yu said.

"Well, look on the bright side! At least people can tell the difference between you two now!"

Yu chuckled nervously before continuing his way toward the pharmacy. As a matter of fact...

---------

"Makoto, I need you to go buy me medicine."

"Can't you do it yourself?"

"I would, if it weren't for the fact that I am in too much pain to get out of bed."

"You don't sound like that's the case. And besides, I know the kind you buy. It's that specialty herbal stuff they only sell at that one shitty natural foods store."

"And why is this a problem?"

"I haven't been allowed in there since I fucked the manager's daughter."

"Ah, well, that's simple to get around. You just have to look different."

....

"No. Hell no. Absolutely not."

"I'll cook steamed broccoli tonight~"

"...God I hate when you drive a hard bargain."


-----------

And now he just had to hope that no one recognized him. He limped into the herbal foods store, the bell on the door tinkling as he pushed the door open. He made an effort not to make eye contact with the manager as he walked in. As he looked at the vials of disgusting herbal mixes, he prayed to God that no one would walk in and notice him.

Then again, it wasn't like anyone at their school went here, right?

don't stare at it too long

And then someone from their school just happened to walk in. It just so happened to also be the other twin that was probably fucking his sibling from Taiyoutono. Nagashima sure was weird!

Kyoishi had stopped by the store to look at some of the objectively awful tasting herbal mixes the store sold. While they were objectively awful tasting, most of them were also objectively good for you. A healthy lifestyle was sure to help Kyoishi get stronger faster right? Stuff that tasted bad was always good for you.

And then he saw Yu limping into the store as well. Or Makoto. He wasn't entirely sure which was which, though if his lurking on Bedlam was to be trusted the two twins had fallen into quite the series of trials recently. Makoto had tried to kill Yu or something. That made it likely that this injured twin was Yu then right?

Regardless, Kyoishi didn't happen to like either of them very much.
"Are you going to be able to carry everything back out like that?" Kyoishi asked, without making an offer to help with said potential predicament.

Health items. Most tasted bad. Any health crap was always horrible. And it filled you up less than normal food. Sure, it was good for you, but it tasted like crap, and it was a bad substitute for sunlight, good exercise, and a decent steak. As one of those Nakagawas walked in, Charles looked away from the shelf he was standing by. He walked up to him, as the other half of a sibling pair walked in. First hat destroyer, and now shadow destroyer. If they were twins to each other, Charles would've asked them to activate some Wonder Twin powers.

"I agree with the male half of the Watanabes. You sure you're going to be able to get everything out on your own?"
asked Charles, chuckling at a mildly confusing play on words. "I could use an extra Boy Scout badge for helping injured people, I guess."

Someone spoke up behind Makoto, and he had to carefully limp around to face whoever it was. Naturally, it was one of the other sets of twins at Taiyoutono? One of the Watanabes, if he remembered right. Lots of nasty rumors about them. Incest heavy rumors. Saucy. If he hadn't been pretending to be his stuck up brother right now, he would have been all over this one. Still, if Kyoishi was here, then Kiyoko probably wasn't far behind. Best that he watch himself.

"I'm sure I'll be fine. I've had a lot of prac--" Oh, there was another person. The foreigner of indeterminate race, who also happened to be the guy whose hat he ruined. This was sure to get awkward fast.

"Are you volunteering to be my slave for the day, Oliviera-san?" 'Yu' asked. "I could always use someone to massage my leg when I get home."

Kyoishi frowned. No one was going to be anyone's carrying-around-items-slave today. Especially not Charles helping out Yu. Or Makoto. Whatever. They were basically just two halves of one single douchebag as far as Kyoishi was concerned.

"He said he could take care of it himself." Kyoishi said, looking at Charles. "He can probably handle it then."

"Shut up! You're not my real dad!" yelled Charles facetiously at Kiyoshi. He ran away in a manner that looked like he was physically handicapped, then came back holding a drink from a cooler.

"But seriously. Cripple twin needs some help here. Even if he is the guy who threw my hat into a full bedpan, I can put aside my desire to get back at him away to help him with health groceries."
said Charles, opening the drink.

Daaamn, that was cold. What had Yu done to piss off Incest Twin #2? Probably insulted Incest Twin #1 or threatened to reveal the Incest Twins' not-so-secret Incest shenanigans. At least Charles was being helpful--

'Yu' coughed. "I believe you're mistaken, Oliviera-san. That was my brother who did that. I was the one who got strangled." The store owner was paying very close attention to him right now. If he slipped up and let anyone know he was Makoto it was all over, and he was getting his ass kicked out.

Kyoishi just sort of stared at Charles. Was this guy perpetually high or something? No one was really that thick. No one. Or maybe Charles was just an exception. It would probably be bad for Kiyoko's health if she hung around this guy too long.

Yu\Makoto commented on how he had been strangled. Kyoishi scoffed inwardly. Clearly, he and his sister had the far better geminal relationship (despite their small feud at the moment) than this two would ever have.

After looking at the injured twin for a while though, Kyoishi found himself agreeing with Charles. Sort of.
"Fine. Do you... need any help Nagakawa-san?"

"You know, I don't think I actually learned which one of you guys was which, even after all the times I came in and talked to you guys after cleaning." said Charles, sipping the drink. For some reason he had neglected to ask who was who. He had probably caused a lot of awkward moments there. But hey, not like it was that big a deal.

"But yeah, go shop around, I'll help you with your bags. Maybe I'll massage your leg too, if I got nothing better to do."
said Charles.
