How Junie Met S.W.O.R.D.

Genre: mostly crack if I'm being honest

Warnings: typical H&L violence, mentions of kidn@pping, Junie jokes about getting sold, cuss words here and there (let me know if I'm missing anything so I can update this)

These are written in the order Junie met each leader/group. Since Junie is Cobra's little sister, I am writing with female pronouns, attributes, etc.

There's incorrect depiction about Junie going to a performing arts school, I don't actually know how those schools work lol I went to public school my whole life.

How Junie met each S.W.O.R.D. leader, Amamiya Kyodai, and Mighty Warriors

✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧

Mugen dominated the Chikuni City area. No one challenged them except for the Amamiya Brothers. For what exactly? Junie didn't know. At age 11, Junie didn't fully understand the concept of Mugen or the gang world. She just knew that her brother was friends with a bunch of other guys who also liked riding motorcycles. Junie didn't quite understand the impact of Mugen within the area, only that other kids would stop playing with her once their parents found out who her older brother was. Sure her brothers rode motorcycles and got into fights but they weren't bad people... This often left Junie lonely during recess, this is where this story begins.

It was recess time, and Junie had two options. 1) be lonely and sad that the other kids didn't want to play with her or 2) go exploring to keep herself busy and remember to come back before the next class started. Around this time, Junie had gone from arguing with Cobra a lot to finally putting in more effort in school. She could've chosen to follow the rules... but she was too bored today and didn't want to tell Cobra that she hated school because no one wanted to play with her. She didn't need to add more to his plate. Besides, she would only be gone for a little bit anyway; she'll come right back before the bell rings. No one will even know she was gone.

Junie made her way to the back of the school, piling a few boxes and old desks on top of each other so she could jump over the back gate. Junie slowly made her way down to the other side and checked her watch. 20 minutes left of recess. I should be able to walk around and come back in no time; she thought to herself.

Junie began walking away from the school, finding herself in front of a random drink vending machine. Junie pulled out her coin pouch from her uniform pocket and began counting the correct amount of change she needed to buy herself a bottle of juice. As Junie continued counting her change, she felt a much taller presence behind her. She turned around and looked up, meeting the eyes of a tall stranger with black spikey hair and a leather jacket.

"Hello," she said nonchalantly as she went back to buying herself a drink.

"Can you hurry up kid?"

"Can you be patient and wait your turn Mr. adult?"

"What the hell are you doing here instead of being at school kid?"

"None of your business sir."

"I-"

Just then, another tall guy in a leather jacket appeared. "Hiroto! That's no way to talk to a little kid." He knelt down so he could be at a closer eye level to Junie. "Hi. My name is Masaki, and that is my little brother Hiroto. What are you doing here? Don't you have school?"

Junie looked over at him. He was friendlier looking than the other one. He sounded nicer too. "Hello, I'm Hino. I do have school, but it's recess time."

"So shouldn't you be playing with your friends inside the school?"

"I don't have friends, but I didn't want to be bored, so I snuck out. Bye bye. Have a good day," she said as she took her drink and began walking away.

Masaki looked at Hiroto who closed his eyes in frustration. "No, Masaki, Absolutely not."

"But she's all alone. And she's so cute."

"I don't care! I didn't sign up to babysit!"

"Let's go!"

"NO!"

"YES!"

"NO!"

"YES! I'M OLDER! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME!"

"OH MY GOD! FINE!"

"Hey! Hino! Wait up!"

Junie turned around to look at the two guys she just met, the nicer one had ran to catch up to her. He again bent down to be closer to her eye level. "We'll hang out with you during recess so you aren't lonely."

"That's okay, I don't want to bother you guys."

"We insist."

"He insists."

"NO! We insist."

"Well, recess is about to be over anyways so I am just walking back. Bye."

"We can drop you off on our motorcycles. It'll be faster than walking."

"Sorry, I don't trust anyone on a motorcycle besides my brother. Even then, I don't really trust him either."

"Who is your brother?"

"He says I can't say his name for safety purposes but to tell people who ask that he is a part of Mugen and can fight."

Masaki and Hiroto both froze and looked at each other like 😧

"Masaki dude no. She's a Mugen kid! We can not be seen in this region with a Mugen kid!"

"But she's all alone and so cuuute."

"I'm gonna punch you."

"You guys act like a puppy and a kitten, always arguing." Now the two turned and looked at Junie like 🤨and😑 (guess which brother is which expression lol). "Now that I've stood here instead of walking back to the school I won't make it in time for class before they call my brother. Can I still get that ride?"

"Of course!" said Masaki. So Junie hopped onto the back of his motorcycle and the two brothers drove her to the back side of the school and helped her over the gate.

"Bye Hino. Do us a favor and don't tell anyone you were with us okay?"

"Okay! Bye bye Masaki. Bye Hiroto!"

"Bye kid. Stay behind those gates next time."

"No."

Masaki laughed at how Junie said no to Hiroto. The two waved back to her and drove off. As Junie was going to walk back to the playground, one of the staff came running to her.

"JUNIE! It's class time! You're 10 minutes late!"

"Sorry, I was playing with a puppy and a kitten."

"A puppy and a kitten? Where?"

"On the other side of the gate."

"That's nice but remember to listen next time when we say it's time to go inside okay?"

"Okay." Junie walked with the teacher back to class.

Later that day...

Cobra and Yamato were at the gates of Junie's school to pick her up. As usual, the other children's guardians who were also there to pick them up were talking about them. The two boys rolled their eyes. Neither boy was doing anything besides standing next to their bike and waiting for their sister, so they didn't understand why these other adults couldn't just mind their business.

Right as Yamato was getting ready to lose his cool, Junie came running out to give them both a hug. "Hi guys!"

"Hi Junie," they said back.

"Happy to see us?" (Yamato)

"Of course! Going home is the best part of the day."

The two teens laughed as Junie hopped onto the back of Cobra's bike, the three making their way over to the Mugen garage. The other Mugen members greeted them.

Junie sat on top of Cobra's bike, playing a game on his phone as he worked on his bike's wheels. "How was school Baby?"

"It was the same."

"What about lunch and recess?"

"The same also."

"Are you sure?"

"Mhmm."

"So then why did one of the teachers call me to tell me that you were late to class after lunch?"

"Oh... that..."

"Yeah, that. Where were you?"

"At the back of the school."

"Doing what?"

"Playing with a puppy and a kitten I found..."

"Why weren't you playing with the other kids like you should've been?"

"I thought you knew by now but clearly not... I don't have friends at school."

"Why?"

"Because everyone says their parents tell them to stay away from me. But that's okay! I get to walk around in peace and quiet. And the puppy and kitten I found were funny."

Cobra didn't know what to say to her, it always seemed like whenever his sister was having problems they directly tied back to him and his lifestyle.

"It's not your fault you know. I like my life outside of school. School is just a few hours out of my day, being with you and Yamato and all of Mugen is way more fun than having friends at school."

"You always know exactly what to say huh Baby?"

"I try."

Kohaku listened in on the siblings' conversation, he was always worried for the two because they were each other's only support system considering their parents weren't around often. Watching Junie's change from being super stubborn and constantly fighting with Cobra to her always reassuring him that she was fine, was reassuring to Kohaku. He knew that as time went on the two would figure things out.

The two siblings went back to what they were doing. As everyone continued doing their own thing, the sound of two more motorcycles entered the garage.

"Here they are."

"They've herded together quite nicely."

Junie turned at the sound of their voices, she knew those voices! Junie hopped off her brothers bike to get a closer look at the newcomers, to be met with the two men she just met earlier that day.

"Hino! What are you doing here?!" (Masaki)

"What the fuck do you mean what am I doing here? I'm a part of Mugen." (Cobra)

"Not you, the kid." (Hiroto)

"Junie? You know them?" (Cobra)

"Maybe?" she said as she looked at her brother. "I told you guys my brother is in Mugen earlier!" she shouted back at Masaki and Hiroto.

"And lied about your name!" (Masaki)

"Hey! No I didn't! Hino is my last name bro. You asked for my name you weren't specific about which one you wanted."

"Earlier?! Junie," said Cobra in a stern voice.

"They're the puppy and the kitten I met during lunch..."

"HUH?!" shouted quite literally everyone in the garage.

"Oh my- Yamato take her to the back." (Cobra)

"Yes sir!" So Yamato threw you over his shoulder, taking you to the back tool room and setting you down in there. "We'll come back for you when we're done okay?"

"Yeah yeah whatever you say. Just hurry, it gets stuffy back here."

Yamato ruffled your hair and locked the door. You sat in the tool room for what felt like forever while Mugen and the Amamiya brothers fought.

Before Daruma Ikka, Hyuga wasn’t involved in the gang world. Even though his brothers were a sector within Kuryu, they kept him far away from it. His older brothers made money to send him to school, to chase a better life away from danger. Things took a turn though when Hyuga Kai rumbled with Mugen.

Wanting to impress the higher ups, the leaders of Hyuga Kai gathered around and talked about what their next steps were. As the 3 older brothers were talking, Hyuga had just gotten home from school.

“Hi guys!”

“Welcome home Norihisa. How was school?”

“It was fine. What are you guys talking about?”

"Just a new task. Go wash up and do your homework. We'll call you when dinner is ready."

Hyuga took a quick glance at all the documents his brothers had scattered across the dining table, catching a glimpse of a picture of a little girl entering a school. He looked around and realized that there were multiple shots of this little girl doing various things in various places.

"Why do you guys have a bunch of pictures of this little girl?"

"She's the younger sister of a prominent Mugen member. Our plan is to kidnap her and use her as a bargaining chip against Mugen. Once they give up their claim to the area to us, we'll use that to appeal to Kuryu."

Hyuga's brothers saw the way his facial expression changed, his eyebrows furrowing in a disapproving manner.

"You do what you have to do sometimes Norihisa."

"I know... but... she's just a kid. She doesn't need to be involved in any of this. Kuryu and Mugen's business is its own matter. You guys don't need to drag a literal child into it do you?"

"It's a foolproof plan."

"But-"

"Go wash up Norihisa, we'll call you down when dinner is ready," said his eldest brother.

Hyuga walked away, slightly disappointed in his brothers for stooping low to get something done.

✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧

Hyuga laid in bed that night, staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep. The thought of a bunch of adults putting a child in harms way to get what they want not sitting right with him. Don't get him wrong, Hyuga loved his brothers and respected that they worked their tails off to give him everything, but even the people we love can have faults and be criticized.

Hyuga slowly sat up from his bed, tip toeing around the house to his eldest brother's office. His eldest brother was usually the one to keep all their plans in his office. Hyuga quietly flipped through all the pictures and papers, looking for what exactly his brothers were planning. After what felt like forever, he found what he was looking for. Junie's name, her relation to Mugen, where she went to school, her school schedule, and what day and time they would be taking her from her school. Hyuga made a mental note of all this information, then returning to his room.

✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧

Hyuga didn't usually ditch his classes unless it was a day he knew nothing important was happening so he could just to the library to study or maybe take a nap; and yet here he was, standing behind this elementary school at the back gates waiting for the little girl that was supposed to show up and pray he could get to her before his brothers' workers do.

Just as Hyuga was contemplating switching up his plans at the last second, Junie showed up. "Hey, hey kid. Junie."

Junie looked around and saw a guy who looked to be around her brother's age standing at the school's back gate. She walked to the gate, standing a good amount away so that she could run if need be. "Um... who are you? How do you know me?"

"My name is Norihisa, but you can just call me Hyuga. You need to come with me for your safety, I'll return you before you have to go back to class."

"I don't even know you. I'm not going anywhere with you!"

"Some people want to kidnap you to make a deal with your brother and his friends. I'll hide you for a bit and return you later. I promise."

"Why would I trust you?"

"I'll take you to whatever food stall you want and buy you lunch?"

"Okay I guess," she said as she began stacking old chairs, desks, and boxes in a formation to jump over the gate.

"Wait really?!"

"Yeah. Who doesn't like free food? Plus, if you're working with the bad guys then my brother will just find you and them later," she said nonchalantly.

✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧

Junie was nagging Hyuga on the way to the ramen shop, asking him about who was coming for her and why. He eventually caved and told her what was supposed to happen had he not ditched class to come find her.

The two sat together at a table, eating their food. Junie put down her utensils and looked at Hyuga, him doing the same.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Can I ask why are you doing this? Why are you helping me? Wouldn't you want to help your brothers?"

"Because I don't agree with what they're doing. I agree with them on a lot of things but not this. I don't think there's any good reason to get you involved between them. After all, you're not a part of Mugen, your brother is, and you're just a kid."

"Oh. That makes sense. Sometimes I don't agree with my brother on stuff too. Thanks for helping me then Hyuga."

"You're welcome Junie."

After lunch, Hyuga had returned Junie back to her school, his brothers' workers should be back to tell them she wasn't there, stopping their plans of kidnapping her.

Hyuga Kai's downfall from Kuryu after unsuccessfully trying to gain power over Mugen took a toll on all the Hyuga Brothers. The three eldest were removed from Kuryu, Hyuga Kai having to disband. The youngest Hyuga swore revenge on Mugen and Kuryu, hellbent on making them pay for what happened to his brothers.

Hyuga sat in his jail cell, knowing that this was all a consequence of his own actions. As angry as he was, a small part of him knew that he did the right thing. Junie had no business being used as Kuryu or his brothers' pawn in a game she didn't willingly choose to play.

Bonus

This is after Road to High&Low but before High&Low the Movie

Junie madę her way through Daruma Ikka territory. There was a festival happening, a usual in this part of Chikuni City. She came upon the Daruma house, knocking on the wood of the front door. After a few moments, the door opened, Junie being met by Shu Kato. He was confused seeing Junie at the door. "Uhhh what are you doing here kid?"

"I wanted to talk to Hyuga."

"Why?"

"Why do I have to explain myself to you?"

"Oh I don't know. Maybe because we just got done with a brawl against Sannoh like 2 days ago so it's weird that a Sannoh kid would show up in this part of town afterwards."

"Who's at the door?" said someone from behind Shu Kato, Junie had a guess it was one of the Daruma babies because it didn't sound like Hyuga.

"Cobra's sister. She wants to talk to Hyuga," shouted Shu Kato over his shoulder.

"I'll go tell him!" said the Daruma baby.

Shu Kato looked back at Junie, "What do you want to talk to him about?"

"Personal stuff?"

"Yeah. It happened before you guys met anyways."

Before Shu Kato could respond to Junie, the Daruma baby was back. "Hyuga says to send her back." The two moved out of the way, letting Junie into the Daruma house. Junie followed as the Daruma baby led the way to Hyuga. He opened the door, closing it after Junie stepped in.

Hyuga, in all his maniacal glory sat on his bamboo mat. Candles lit up the room, smoke from incense and whatever Hyuga was smoking filled the room. A sense of attempted comfort and an unsettling eeriness filling the space. "You can sit down," said Hyuga as he motioned to the mat that sat directly in front of him. June sat down on the mat, criss crossing her legs and studying Hyuga.

"What do you want to talk about Junie. I know you didn't come all the way to Daruma to stare at me," he slurred as he looked at her.

"I haven't seen you since the day you took me out to get lunch all that time ago."

"No one has seen much of me since that day. I did go to jail after that remember?"

"I know. I just can't help feeling like that was partially my fault," Junie said quietly as she looked down at her hands that were in her lap.

"I made the decisions that landed me there kid. You had nothing to do with that, don't give yourself too much credit," he said in a joking manner. He waited for her to respond, but she didn't, so he continued. "I'm being serious Junie. I made the decisions that landed me in jail, not you."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why didn't you just come for me if you really wanted to fight against Cobra?"

"Because I still stand by my statement from all those years ago. You're a child. You aren't apart of whatever fight I have against Sannoh and Mugen. I don't put innocents in harms way, especially children."

"And I still think you're a very noble man for that mindset like I did then."

Although Junie wasn't allowed to participate in the fights of S.W.O.R.D, she had a tendency to meddle with everything and everyone anyways. When her brothers were busy and she had no one to bother, she snuck out and entered the other S.W.O.R.D districts.

The first time Junie ended up in Rascals territory Rocky was STRESSED because wtf was a kid (the girl was 12) doing in a place popular for night-life?!

Junie was small so Rocky threw her over his shoulder and took her back to club heaven, locking her in his office. Koo was stuck babysitting Junie while Rocky took care of some work before he came back. Koo's head was getting ready to explode because 12 year old Junie asked so many questions.

"Why call yourselves White Rascals? Why wear white if you're gonna fight other people? Doesn't blood get on the clothes? Is your cleaning fee expensive? How did you join? How do you fight? I like your outfit. Are you guys gonna drive me home?"

Thank god Rocky came back to his office so Koo could leave. He thought she was cute, but his head hurt because Junie spoke at the speed of light.

Rocky sat down on the other side of the couch in his office, putting space in between himself and the kid as to not scare her. "Kid. What are you doing in an area full of clubs? Don't you have a bed-time? Are you even from here?"

"Nope. Not from around here. Definitely snuck out because I was bored."

"Where is home?"

"Sannoh."

"Sannoh?!"

"Yeahhhh."

"What's your name again?"

"Junie. My brothers call me Baby because I'm the baby of the family."

"How old are you?"

"12."

"And you're by yourself?! Where are your parents?"

"This is sounding awfully a lot like an interrogation. Are you making sure I don't have a family before you sell me on the black market?"

"No kid. I protect women, I don't harm them. People aren't allowed to do that in my district."

"Oh. Sounds nice. The rest of the world should do what you're doing."

"Thanks kid. Where are your parents?"

"Never met my dad, don't know who he is. My mom is never around either. It's just my brothers."

"Who are your brothers? You got a lot of them?"

"Only one of them is my brother, you know him. Everyone else are my honorary brothers."

"I know him?"

"Mm-hmm. Hino Junpei. Cobra."

Rocky was even more stressed now. Of all kids to stumble into their turf it had to be another S.W.O.R.D leader's sister. "Where are they?"

"Out fighting. I didn't want to bother Naomi either so I went for a walk but clearly, I walked a little too far cause here I am!" said Junie with little jazz hands.

"You got a phone?"

"Yeah. Here," Junie pulled out the old phone she was given to keep in contact with everyone. Before Rocky could say anything more the phone lit up with a call from Cobra. "Ohhh I'm screwed. Hello?"

"HINO JUNIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Junie looked up at Rocky and then back at her phone. "Um... At Club Heaven in White Rascal district?"

"WHAT?!"

"Yo Cobra. Come get your kid and don't let her walk around by herself at night." Junie heard Cobra let out a big ass sigh before hanging up.

"Well... that went well. What's it like running a club?"

Rocky was happy to answer all of Junie's questions. He led her outside so that Sannoh wouldn't come into the club and cause a ruckus. Rocky thought Junie looked cute with his big white coat wrapped around her. The poor girl being much shorter than Rocky is, was struggling to hold the coat in her arms while talking to him, trying not to let the bottom touch the ground.

Cobra, Yamato, and Naomi arrived to take Junie home. Naomi hopped off the back of Yamato's bike, definitely not happy. "HINO JUNIE! I SWEAR I'M GONNA DIE EARLY BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR BROTHER! Why didn't you just come to Itokan?!"

"The diner was packed and I didn't want to bother you, so I went on a walk.... and then walked too far..."

Naomi put a hand on her head, calming herself down. "Next time just come to Itokan okay? Don't scare us like that."

"Yeah Baby! You had all of Sannoh running around looking for you!" said Yamato.

Junie looked at Cobra who was just staring at everyone. "You're mad at me... aren't you?"

"Not mad Baby. Just stressed. You scared us you know?" One thing about Cobra is that he never raised his voice unless needed, so hearing him say these words in such a calm voice always felt worse. Junie would've preferred if he would just yell at her so that it didn't sound like he was disappointed.

"I'll remember to tell someone next time I go on a walk."

"Thank you for watching her Rocky. Let's go home Baby."

Junie returned the coat to Rocky. "Thanks for the coat and hanging out with me Rocky!" He smiled at her (which left the other 3 young adults completely bamboozled because Rocky doesn't just smile genuinely at people).

"If you ever need somewhere to go when you're bored, you're welcome at Club Heaven Junie."

"I'll remember that! Bye!"

After that, Junie would occasionally turn up at club Heaven to bother Rocky and White Rascals. Rocky enjoyed having the little girl around even if he didn't say it. Having her around felt nice, like he got a second chance at protecting his sister. (cries)

At first the others had no idea why a random ass Sannoh kid was always found sitting in Rocky's office but they grew to like her company. Junie became the honorary little White Rascal.

Guess who loves Junie the most? Kizzy.

Kizzy thought Junie was cute and even bought her a white leather jacket to match with White Rascals. She would always replace the ones Junie grew out of as time went on also. Junie and Kizzy's first actual time meeting was what made her like Junie a lot.

It was about a month after Junie's first initial stop at Club Heaven. Junie was back from school for the weekend so she decided it was a good night to go bother Rocky because she hadn't been there in a while and Sannoh were gone for a fight again.

Junie remembered to text the Sannoh group-chat (that was made after her first time going on a walk because now Junie was obligated to tell them where she was going) to tell them she was running off to Club Heaven for a while. Junie ignored the chat after that when a few of the Sannoh members told her to just stay still at Itokan lol.

Junie showed up right before Club Heaven was opening for the night. "Hiiiii," she exclaimed as she walked into the building. Koo was the first to see Junie come in. Rocky had told him to just take the girl to his office if she ever showed up again so that's what he did.

So, Junie was locked in Rocky's office again. Koo accompanied her, and just like the first time, Junie talked his ears off. Koo thought Junie's sense of humor was actually great once she stopped asking questions and just held a conversation with him. As much as he thought this was fun, he had to go check on something happening downstairs so he pulled Kizzy into the room and told her to sit with Junie until Rocky got back.

Kizzy just sat on the couch and watched Junie as she drew on a notepad that was on Rocky's desk. Kizzy wasn't sure if she should talk to Junie so the two just kind of just sat in awkward silence. Junie continued to draw, and when she looked up to stretch her neck, saw Kizzy fixing her lip gloss.

"That's a really pretty shade of lip gloss. It matches your skin tone," Junie said to Kizzy and then went back to drawing.

This caught Kizzy off-guard. Kizzy wasn't exactly fem-presenting so when she would pull out makeup, people looked at her and judged her, but Junie didn't do that.

"Awww. Thank you, why are you at Club Heaven kid?" Kizzy took this opportunity to strike up a conversation with Junie, she seemed like a nice kid after all.

"Last time I was here Rocky said I could come back here whenever I wanted because I would always be welcomed at Club Heaven. It's been a month since then and my brothers weren't home so I thought I would come bother Rocky but he's not here today."

"Ohhh. You're Junie, the little girl from Sannoh right?"

"Yes si- wait! How do I address you?" Kizzy laughed, thankful that Juunie had the thought to ask. Kizzy thought that whoever was raising Junie was definitely doing good.

"Ma'am. I'm a woman."

"Ohhh. Are you like Naomi where you just patch up the guys or do you fight with them?"

"Both."

"Woooow that's cool."

Junie continued asking questions and Kizzy was happy to answer. It eventually lead to Junie asking Kizzy to tell her more about herself. Kizzy talked about how Rocky found her and Kaito, how she found out she identified as a woman, how her and Kaito went to the US to get married, etc.

Junie was so understanding and accepting of Kizzy that she decided from this day onwards Junie was her adoptive child😂🤍

Kizzy and Kaito were basically Junie's parents away from home and Rocky was her bougie, rich uncle. Whenever Junie popped in to see them at the club they always made time for her.

Even when she got older and had to go farther away for school, they kept in contact via text and were always excited to see Junie when she came back from school to visit.

If anyone touches Junie or harms her White Rascals will definitely be after their asses.

Junie's first run in with Oya was chaotic to say the least.

Junie's performing arts academy gave students a few days off as a reward for hard work. Some students took this time to go on vacation, and some took the time to stay at school and to continue practicing their craft. Junie however took the day to go back home. She hadn't been home in about three weeks at this point, preparing for a big performance so she was excited to be home.

Junie went out to run an errand for Naomi while she took care of Itokan, only to run into Oya while they were looking for Chiharu.

Junie had met Chiharu the night before when she arrived home, he was nice, so she couldn't understand why anyone was after him. This prompted Junie to think that the Oya high guys were kind of weird.

Junie was carrying the groceries Naomi needed when the Oya High hoard of students came storming into Sannoh looking for Chiharu. They stopped in the middle of the road, debating on which way to go to get to Yamato's shop. In turn, they were also blocking Junie's way to get back to Itokan.

She really needed to run this errand so that she could catch up with everyone then run to White Rascals territory, so it was not helping that these dudes were blocking her way.

"Hey! Can you guys like move out of the way, please?! At least stand to the side if you have to think about where you're going!"

"HUH?! STAY OUT OF OUR WAY KID!" (Seki)

"YOU ARE LITERALLY STANDING IN MY WAY BRO! MOVE! I GOT SOMEWHERE TO BE!"

Seki moved closer to intimidate her but Murayama stopped him, coming forward instead to look at her. Around this time Junie reached maybe around his chest so he bent down to her eye-level to talk to you.

"Hey kid, do you know where we can find Yamato?" (Murayama)

"Why are you looking for Yamato?"

"We need to.... talk." (Murayama)

"Head to his car repair shop."

"DO YOU THINK WE WOULD BE TALKING TO YOU IF WE KNEW WHERE IT WAS?" (Furuya)

"It's not my fault you guys stumbled onto Sannoh territory without knowing your directions."

"WHY YOU-" (Furuya)

"OI! Let the kid talk. Go ahead kid, which way do we go?" (Murayama)

"Walk straight down, turn to the left, go straight again, turn right and you'll see it. Who are you guys anyway? You guys aren't from around here."

"Murayama. Leader of Oya High. Nice to meet you, kid."

"Junie. Have fun dealing with Yamato."

"You know him?"

"Well yeah, he's friends with my older brother Cobra so he's basically my older brother. Bye! I gotta go." Junie calmly walked past the hoard of stunned Oya students like she didn't just tell them she's Sannoh's little sister. Junie continued walking in the direction of Itokan until she heard Murayama shout for her again.

"HEY KID! KID WAIT! YOU'RE RELATED TO COBRA?!"

"YEP! HAVE FUN DEALING WITH SANNOH!" she shouted back as she kept walking towards Itokan.

Junie dropped off Naomi's stuff and told her about making a quick trip to Club Heaven and that se would be back before dinner, to which Naomi said okay.

Junie ran off to see Kizzy and Kaito who made her try a new cake they added to the menu. Junie also remembered to bother Rocky and Koo. Koo drove Junie back to Sannoh and dropped her off at the entrance of Sannoh, needing to head back to tend to something going on at the club.

As Junie walked back to Itokan since Naomi said she would make Junie dinner while she was home. Before making it to Itokan, Junie ran into Murayama who was still lurking around Sannoh.

"Hey kid!"

"Hi? What are you still doing in Sannoh?"

"Tell me where Chiharu is."

"Yeahhhh no."

"No?!"

"No. It's getting late you should probably go back to Oya. I have to go home."

"Tell me where Chiharu is."

"Nooooo."

"Whyyyyyy?"

"Cobra and Yamato and Dan and Tettsu and Ken and Hikaru and Naomi said I'm not allowed to get involved with Sannoh business. That's between Sannoh and Oya. You figure it out."

Murayama moved to grab Junie's arm and her reflexes kicked in so she ended up putting him in a headlock.

"WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE STRONG FOR A KID! LET GO!" he shouted at her.

"You gonna leave me alone?"

"Okay, okay. I'll leave you alone."

Junie laughed and let go of him. He was stretching out his neck and then looked back at her.

"You know what? I think kids are annoying, but you're cool. See you around kid."

"Bye Murayama!"

"Murayama - san."

"Huh?"

"Murayama - san. I'm older than you."

"You act like we're the same age though."

"HEY!"

"Go home bro it's late."

Junie walked away afterwards leaving Murayama a little baffled but he let out a small laugh at what she had said and started walking back to Oya.

He thought she was funny, not being scared of him or the other Oya guys; and how nonchalant she was. Murayama also respected your loyalty for not giving up Chiharu.

Afterwards he just casually popped in to check on her because he saw her like a little sister. As time passed by, Murayama just grew to be protective over Junie as well.

Junie popped into Oya whenever she felt like visiting him to check up on him. The other Oya guys knew not to mess with Junie when she came around or Murayama would kill them, then Cobra would kill them, and then Murayama again.

Murayama ranted to Junie about his problems as well. How he didn't know what he wanted to do in life, how he wasn't sure who he was without the title of Oya High's leader, etc.

Junie's first encounter with Rude Boys was..... very random to say the least. (This happens during the show/RTH&L right after Yamato, Dan, and Tettsu find Chiharu working at the Red Rum factory and shut it down.)

Junie was on the way back to the gas station from Dan's store. She went to buy some snacks and a cupcake for Cobra because she was gonna stay with him at the gas station tonight. She walked past an alley while walking back home but saw movement from behind a large dumpster.

Being a curious cat, Junie walked into the alley way (not safe don't do this kids) to see what or who was there. Junie found two little girls and a boy all around the same age maybe 5 or 6 years old huddled together. Her sudden appearance had scared them, causing them to huddle closer together and farther into the corner.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you guys. What are you guys doing here?"

"We need to go home." (Boy)

"But we don't know where home is." (Girl 1)

"You don't know where you live?"

"No, no. We know where we live, but we don't know how to get home." (Girl 1)

"Where do you live?"

"Nameless City." (Boy)

"Nameless City?! Then why are you all the way in Sannoh?!"

"We need to go home. Can you help us?" (Boy)

"I, well, I think so? Do you want to come with me to drop off some stuff and then I can have someone help take you home?"

The one girl who hadn't spoken the whole time grabbed onto the other two kids and shook her head. She signed something to the other two with her hands and they looked back at Junie.

"Our sister says she doesn't know if she can trust the other people." (Boy)

"The other people would be my older brothers. They have motorcycles so they can drive you guys back to Nameless City."

They looked at their sister who again shook her head and signed to them.

"She says that she doesn't trust the adults, but you seem nice. Can you help us?" (Girl 1)

Junie thought about it for a few seconds. Does she know her way to Nameless City? Not exactly.... but she knew the general direction. She could get them there... right?

"Please? We need to go home." (Girl 1)

Cobra is gonna kill me. Then Yamato and Naomi and Dan and Tettsu and Chiharu... oh well.

"Here's what I'll do. I'm gonna go home and drop off some stuff for my older brother, make sure my directions are correct, and then I'll come back and take you guys home okay?"

The second girl signed to Junie. Junie looked at the other two kids for help.

"She says you have to promise not to tell any of the adults and promise to come back."

Junie crouched down and smiled at the three, "I promise I'll come back. It might take me a little long but I will come back."

With that, she quickly ran back to the gas station and dropped off the snacks and cupcake for Cobra.

"Baby! Where are you going? I thought you were hanging out with me for the rest of the day?"

"I just remembered I have to ask Naomi for something real quick and I'll be right back!" she shouted to him as she ran off towards Itokan. Outside of Itokan, DTC were sitting on their bikes. It looked like the trio were getting ready to go somewhere. Junie ran up to them, stopping them.

"Chiharu! I have a question."

"Oh. Are you finally gonna admit that I am older and wiser than you and you do absolutely need my help with stuff like how you ask Cobra and Yamato?"

"Absolutely not. You act like we're the same age bro. Anyways, how far is Nameless City from here? Walking wise and motorcycle wise."

"Why are you asking how far Nameless City is?" (Dan)

"Because I want to know how far you idiots went the other day to get there. Yamato texted me to tell me what happened but didn't tell me all the details."

"Oh. Well, Dan and I didn't ride our motorcycles in case we would get spotted by Rude Boys. Nameless City shares a border with Sannoh, it's to our left. We walked through Sannoh, and once you get to the border, just walk straight following the dirt road path and you eventually make it to Nameless City. That thing is huge you won't miss it." (Tettsu)

"Ohhh. Did you guys like go through the structures or anything to stay hidden?"

"Yeah we were tucking and rolling as if we were the Rude Boys." (Dan)

"What about you Chiharu?"

"I didn't have a motorcycle at the time, but I did the same walk through Sannoh. But I had to hide and enter Nameless City from the far side to get into the Red Rum factory. It usually took me around a 30-45 minute walk depending on how much I had to hide from Rude Boys that day getting to the factory."

"Oh.... you three are always doing something dumb.... sounds about right."

"HEY!" all three of them shouted.

"I'M JUST SAYING! Still love you guys though," she said as she made a heart with her hands. "Thanks for telling me the details. Where are you guys off to?"

"Just a quick night drive to patrol the area and relieve stress from everything going on. Noboru joining Iemura is really stressing everyone out."

"I bet. Well, see you guys later! I have to talk to Naomi."

"Bye Baby!" they all shouted as they drove away.

Junie walked into Itokan to find Naomi. She was tending to a few customers when she heard the bell above the door ring, turning to see who came in.

"Hi Baby."

"Hi Naomi!"

"What do you need love?"

"Do you by any chance have extra ingredients for onigiri? I'm hanging out with Cobra tonight at the gas station since it's Friday and figured we might need extra snacks. AKA I need more snacks."

"Of course, in the back where they always are."

"Also, Naomi?"

"Yes?"

"The other day I dropped off some stuff here because you said you were throwing your old clothes out and asked if I had anything to throw out also, did you take those to the donation yet?"

"Not yet, I'm going tomorrow morning before I open up the diner. Why?"

"I realized I accidentally threw a sweater I still want in the pile and was just looking for it."

"Yeah the clothes are in my car you can open the trunk and grab what you need."

"Okay thank you!"

Junie felt bad for lying to everyone today, but she needed to take those kids home. They can be mad at her later, none of them give her harsh punishments anyways.

Baby went to the back, washing her hands and started making onigiri. She ended up making 12 of them and separately wrapping each one. She put 6 in a bag, taking it with her and leaving the other 6 on a plate tucked into the corner with the other onigiri making materials and a note that read "I know you're gonna be mad at me once you find out but I made these for you guys :)"

"Naomi! I'm headed out the back!"

"Okay Baby! See you tomorrow!" she shouted back.

Junie went out to the trunk and grabbed 3 of the sweaters she was going to throw out from Naomi's trunk and went back to the alleyway.

About 3 hours had passed since she met the three kids. It was now 5 o'clock, the sun was beginning to set. Junie walked into the alleyway, looking for the kids and find them still in the same position she had found them earlier.

"Kids? I'm back."

"We thought you wouldn't come back." (Boy)

"I wouldn't break my promise like that," she said as she sat down next to them, hidden from the view if anyone walked past. "Here, I made you guys these in case you were hungry. You guys have been sitting here for a while I assume."

"We've been sitting here since last night when we jumped out of the van." (Girl 1)

"Why were you guys put in a van?" she asked as she handed them each an onigiri.

"There are bad people who always come into Nameless City. They kidnap the kids and the girls there. Our brothers usually stop them, but sometimes if they are successful we never see them again." (Girl 1)

"Oh, I'm sorry that happens. Will you guys tell me your names?"

The three of them looked at each other and then back at Junie. The second girl signed and the boy told her what she was saying. "Our sister says you've been really nice but we can't tell you. Our older brothers tell us not to tell anyone for safety reasons."

"That makes sense. My older brother doesn't like it when I tell strangers stuff also. I'll be quiet now so you guys can finish eating and then I'll take you guys home. Here is a second one if you guys want to eat it," Junie said, handing them each a second onigiri.

"We get two?" (Girl 1)

"Of course. I would've made more for all of your brothers and sisters but I didn't want it to take all night and you guys think I didn't come back. If we see each other again I promise to make you guys more."

"Okay!" they said.

The kids finished eating and got up. Junie handed them each a sweater. "Here, put these on. The walk might be a little long and it will get cold."

"Oh no, we can't take those. They'll get dirty." (Girl 1)

"Yeah, we don't want to give it back to you dirty." (Boy)

"You see the fun thing about this is that I'm giving them to you, like a present, so you get to keep them."

"You'll really do that?" (girl 1)

"Yes, you guys can keep them. A small gift from me to you guys." The three kids gave her a tight hug, grateful that she was helping them. "Okay, let's walk this way. Let's make it a game. We have to stay close together, stay quiet, and stay hidden so I can get you guys home. Okay?"

They all nodded as they held hands and followed her. Junie was walking towards the entrance of Sannoh on the left side, having to duck and hide a few times to hide from the shop owners who were closing up and residents who were out and about before retiring to their homes; scared they would contact Cobra if they saw her lurking around late at night by herself. Eventually, the group reached the border between Nameless City and Sannoh, where the paved road became dirt. Junie turned to look at the kids, "This is the end of Sannoh and start of Nameless City. Do you see how the dirt road is different from the pavement?" The kids nodded. "Remember that the bad people will always drive this way towards Sannoh to go back to their house. So if you ever find yourself stuck in a van again, when you feel the road change from dirt to pavement, try to get out and you will be in Sannoh. Then you can walk this way, and when you see this dirt road, you keep walking straight and you'll reach Nameless City. Okay?" The kids nodded at her.

"Will you be leaving us here?" (Boy)

"No. I'll walk with you home so that you guys aren't alone in the dark. Let's keep going." They all continued to walk on the dirt road.

"Our sister asked what about you? Won't you be alone in the dark when you come back?" (Girl 1)

"Yes but I have a light I can use when I walk back. I know my way home. I want to make sure you guys arrive home safely before I go back."

"Oh thank you. People usually aren't very nice to people from Nameless City. Thank you for helping us." (Girl 1)

"You're welcome. Thank you for trusting me to get you home."

The four kids continued to walk as the sun was almost completely gone. Junie saw Nameless City come into sight. Just as she was about to turn and ask the kids if they knew where to go from here, she heard a sound; like clothes brushing against each other above her head. Junie heard that same sound around them.

Well shit, Rude Boys found us faster than I expected. This is the part where I'm gonna have to plead my case about them letting me live and leave in peace.

The Rude Boys landed around them, circling around Junie and the kids.

"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" (Smoky)

"Smoky!" The kids shouted and ran up to him, giving him a hug.

"Are you guys alright?" (Smoky)

"Where were you guys? How did you escape?!" (Takeshi)

"We jumped out of the car when they stopped and started running. We hid behind a big dumpster for the night to sleep yesterday." (Boy)

"She found us today. She helped us come home." (Girl 1)

The Rude Boys members looked away from the kids to look at Junie, studying her. "P, take the kids back, get them to bed."

"Yes sir!"

"Wait!" the little girl ran back to Junie, giving her a hug, then looking up at hey. "My name is Eri. What's yours?"

"My name is Junie. It was nice to meet you today Eri. Remember to tell everyone what I said about the road and how to get back home okay? If you ever find yourself at Sannoh again, know that you have a friend there."

"I will. Thank you," she said as she let go of Junie to follow P.

"What the hell is someone from Sannoh doing here?" (Yu)

"Back to fight us?" (Takeshi)

"Okay woaaaahhhh hold up! Pump your breaks! I am quite literally risking my life to bring your kids back and you're accusing me of coming here to fight you guys? Do I look dumb to you? Why would I come alone?"

"Yamato came alone. Dan and Tettsu as well." (Takeshi)

"Okay, well yeah, because they're dumb that's why. I just came to return your kids. Now I'm gonna leave because I don't want any trouble with you guys."

"Junie? I've heard that name somewhere before. Who are you?" (Smoky)

"Hino Junie. My older brother is Cobra. Now I'm gonna leave, bye."

"You're not going anywhere!" Shouted Yu as he and a few other Rude Boys charged at her.

"ARE YOU FUCKIN KIDDING ME?!" she shouted as she dodged the members. Junie fought defense, not wanting to actually swing or hurt anybody because an actual fight meant that she would be in more trouble and could potentially cause a turf war when she didn't mean to. Junie continued holding them off but eventually lost energy going against 4 other people by herself. Takeshi knocked Junie off her feet and Yu threw her over his shoulder.

"HEY! LET ME GO! PUT ME DOWN! AAAAHHHH!"

"You're so loud can you shut up?" (Yu)

"PUT ME DOWN!"

Rude Boys carried Junie deeper into Nameless City as she continued hitting Yu (lightly) on the back and telling him to release her. Everyone eventually came to an area in the center of Nameless City where there were fires to keep the residents warm. Many were gone, already asleep but others were still awake and watching the commotion.

"Smoky, where do I put her?" (Yu)

"Just set her down, she can't run anywhere anyways. I know she's smarter than that." (Smoky)

Yu put Junie down, as her feet touched the floor she shoved him away. "You guys are lucky I don't feel like starting a turf war with all of you. I'm being serious! I need to go home."

"Who are you? Why are you here?" (Smoky)

"I already answered these questions! My name is Hino Junie. My older brother is Cobra. I found some of your kids hiding in Sannoh and am risking my life bringing them all the way back here. I need to get home, kindly tell your members to scoot out of my way and I'll leave."

"Why did Sannoh send you?" (Smoky)

"Smoky. I get it, you found five of my older brothers in your territory without permission and a drug farm being run out of one of your buildings without your knowledge, but I had nothing to do with that. I was at school outside of SWORD. Cobra doesn't let me get involved in Sannoh business anyways so I don't know why you think I was sent here. I was seriously just bringing the kids home, they can't hide in a Sannoh alley for the rest of their lives."

"You didn't fight us, why? If you're Cobra's sister you're just as strong as he is I'm sure." (Smoky)

"There is so much happening outside that could harm all of S.W.O.R.D, I don't need to add a turf war to it. Sannoh doesn't need that right now. My brother doesn't need that right now."

"What do you know about what's happening outside?" (Takeshi)

"That Iemura and Kuryu plan on making S.W.O.R.D crumble to take over so fighting amongst ourselves is something stupid to be doing right now."

Smoky walked closer to Junie, bending down so he was eye-level with her. "You don't look much older than some of the kids here. You're well spoken for a kid."

"Sometimes I don't have any other choice than to be well spoken." Before either of them could continue Junie's phone began ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket, Cobra's name with a picture they took together on her screen.

This is the part where I hope the ground opens up and swallows me whole.

"Shit he's gonna kill me," Junie whispered to herself as she picked it up and put it on speaker. "Hello?"

"HINO JUNIE! I SWEAR TO GOD I'M GONNA GROUND YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR DAMN LIFE! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" (Cobra)

"Um... I may or may not be held hostage by Rude Boys in Nameless City?"

"HEY!" shouted P as he regrouped with the Rude Boys members.

"CAN Y'ALL TAKE A JOKE?! GOOD LORD WHY ARE ALL OF YOU SO DAMN UPTIGHT?!" she shouted back at him. "I'm in Nameless City Cobra."

"WHAT?!" Yamato shouted from behind Cobra.

"FOR WHAT?! HINO JUNIE WHY DO YOU KEEP RUNNING OFF TO DIFFERENT TERRITORIES?!" shouted Naomi right after him.

"I-"

"DON'T TELL ME YOU WERE BORED AND WENT FOR A WALK MISSY!" (Naomi)

"Okay, funny story. While I went out for snacks to buy a cupcake for Cobra and a cheesecake for myself right? Then I found three kids who are from Nameless City hiding behind a dumpster in the alleyway by the store. They asked if I could help them get home but I had to promise not to tell any of the adults because they don't trust the adults. So I dropped off the cupcake and snacks with Cobra-"

"AND LIED TO HIM AND ME?!" (Naomi)

"Technically I lied to Cobra, then Chiharu, Tettsu, and Dan, and then you..."

"YOU THINK THAT HELPS YOUR CASE?!" (Naomi)

"No.... BUT AT LEAST I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH! So I left the cupcake and snacks with Cobra, lied to him about coming to talk to you, ran into Dan, Tettsu, and Chiharu, lied to them and got them to tell me the directions to Nameless City, then lied to them again and came inside to talk to you. Then I went to the back, made onigiri for the kids and made you guys some also so that you wouldn't be as mad at me, and then grabbed three of my sweaters from your trunk and lied to you again saying I was going home but I went back to the alleyway to pick up the kids and bring them to Nameless City. We arrived, the kids went home, but then Rude Boys wouldn't let me leave because they thought I was sent here to fight with them, thank you so much Yamato, Dan, Tettsu, Chiharu, and fuckin Noboru for making Rude Boys not trust anyone. Then, I got manhandled and brought to the center of Nameless City and now here we are with me on the phone with you guys. Please don't be mad at me. I'll even report my misbehavior to Rocky, Kizzy and Kaito so they don't buy me anything or allow me to eat cheesecake."

The phone was silent for a few seconds before anyone talked again.

"Baby. Where are you right now?" (Cobra)

"I told you, being held hostage by Rude Boys at the center of Nameless City."

"WE'RE NOT HOLDING YOU HOSTAGE!" (Yu)

"YOU LITERALLY ARE!"

"BABY!" (Cobra)

"WHAT?!"

"Stay there, don't move, we're coming. Is your phone on speaker?" (Cobra)

"Yes."

"Smoky if something bad happens to my sister I will rain hell on you guys," said Cobra before he hung up.

"Well... that went well. Dan, Tettsu, and Chiharu said it takes about 30 minutes on foot so it should take less on bikes. Can I go back to the edge of Nameless City so my brothers can pick me up?"

The Rude Boys members just stared at Junie because what the hell did they just witness? Smoky dismissed the others but kept P and Takeshi with him because he believed she wouldn't be much work considering she wanted to go home and wasn't trying to actively harm anyone.

The three walked behind Junie as they all walked back out to the edge of Nameless City.

"You're so weird." (Takeshi)

"Excuse me? I should be judging you guys, not the other way around."

"You're not scared of us." (Takeshi)

"Why would I be scared of you guys?"

"Because we're mysterious and have cool fighting skills." (P)

"You guys are literally just the same as Sannoh so if I'm not scared of them, I'm definitely not scared of you guys."

"That's insulting." (P)

"That I'm not scared of you?"

"That you didn't acknowledge our cool fighting skills and said we're the same as Sannoh," said P with a sad pout.

Junie turned around and started walking backwards as she talked to him. "I'm not saying it in a bad way. I acknowledge the cool fighting skills, I'm sorry. You guys do have cool techniques I know that the other S.W.O.R.D gangs don't fight that way. And I'm saying you guys are like Sannoh because you're just trying to protect your own, I respect that. It's what my brothers are always doing even if it gets them roped into trouble. I'm really sorry my brothers barged in like that, they have a tendency to make rash, in-the-moment decisions before thinking about it. And I'm sorry for barging in like I did, I would've had the Sannoh members just bring the kids back on their bikes so it would be faster but the kids were extra persistent on me not telling anyone else they were there."

"Thank you for doing that." (Takeshi)

"Yay. You acknowledged that we're cool."(P)

"Dude seriously?"(Takeshi)

"You guys even act like certain Sannoh members it's so funny. I think you guys are really cool. And you guys are very welcome, glad I could help."

"Will you always bring the kids back if you find them?" (Takeshi)

"If I'm there I definitely will but I'm not always in Sannoh. I'm usually in a neighboring city for school, but I'll force the Sannoh members to keep an eye out for any sketchy vans carrying Nameless City residents while I'm gone."

Smoky had been silently observing Junie and his brothers up until now. "You would do that?" (Smoky)

"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Most people don't care much about Nameless City residents and what happens to us." (Smoky)

"Cobra taught me better than to ignore people in need."

"Cobra did?" (Smoky)

"Yeah, it's been just us, Yamato, and Naomi for as long as I could remember. They raised me, not my parents."

"Sounds like all of us." (P)

"You said five brothers earlier, we only saw four Sannoh members the other day." (Smoky)

"One of my brothers... isn't hanging out with the right people at the moment."

"Iemura?" (Smoky)

"Yeah.... Sannoh is still trying to take care of it. I guess some people just lose their way sometimes."

"I can understand that." (Smoky)

"Hopefully we get him back on track."

The four made it to the edge of Nameless City, waiting for the Sannoh members to arrive.

"Why is your brother working with Iemura?" (P)

"I guess he wants a better life than the one he had, I don't really know."

"We had someone like that." (Takeshi)

"You did?"

"Yeah. Our brother left to work for Iemura also. We couldn't get him back... I guess you could say he lost his way and we couldn't get him back on track." (Smoky)

Before Junie could answer, the sound of multiple motorcycles filled the air. Cobra, Yamato, DTC, and Naomi were here to pick her up.

"HINO JUNIE! I GOT A FEW WRODS FOR YOU YOUNG LADY!" shouted Naomi.

"Oh I am so dead," she whispered to the 3 Rude Boys.

"HOW. DARE. YOU. LIE. TO. ME?!" (Naomi)

"Well-"

"AND COBRA?!" (Naomi)

"But Naomi-"

"AND DAN, AND TETTSU, AND CHIHARU?!" (Naomi)

"Okay but like-"

"Naomi! Let the girl explain herself first." (Yamato)

"YOU'RE ON HER SIDE?!" (Naomi)

"NO! I'M JUST SAYING LET HER EXPLAIN HERSELF! She's trying to talk to you." (Yamato)

"Start talking Junie." (Naomi)

"I didn't mean to lie... but the kids said they didn't trust the adults! So I had to promise not to say anything and then I brought them home."

"What kids?" (Naomi)

"The Nameless City kids! They got kidnapped by Doubt but then they escaped and hid behind the Dan store dumpster so after I bought a cheesecake for myself and a cupcake for Cobra I found them. They didn't want me to tell any adults so I went on a little expedition to bring them food and sweaters and then take them home. I knew you would be mad so I made extra rice balls for you guys once you found out. This is like 100th time saying this at this point! So technically you can get mad at me if you want but I wasn't out being bad or intentionally causing trouble. That should lower my punishment level in my opinion."

Naomi smacked the side of Junie's head. "You're in trouble and you're still cracking jokes."

"I'm just trying to lower the tension!"

"WHAT ABOUT US?!" DTC all shouted together.

"What about you guys?"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE WE GOT IN WHEN THEY FOUND OUT?!" (Tettsu)

"It's not my fault you guys are daft so I tricked you guys into giving me directions!"

"WHAT?!" (Dan)

"OH YOU DID NOT!" (Tettsu)

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING DAFT?!" (Chiharu)

"OI!" shouted Cobra, the 4 quieting down. Cobra walked past Junie to stand in front of Smoky. "I'm sorry if my sister caused you guys any trouble. Thanks for taking care of her while she was here."

"Don't mention it, she brought our siblings back after all." Smoky looked past Cobra and at Junie. "Like you told Eri, if you're ever in the area, know that you have friends here. Be safe Junie," said Smoky as he and the Rude Boys members retreated back into Nameless City.

Cobra turned around and looked Junie, "Let's go home Baby. We can talk when we get home."

"Okay," she said quietly as she mounted his bike behind him. The Sannoh members drove back to Sannoh. DTC going home, Yamato dropping off Naomi at her home and then heading towards his. Cobra and Junie went to the gas station, continuing their all-nighter plan. The two silently entered the office, sitting in their designated seats.

Junie awkwardly sat there, the silence killing her before she looked over at Cobra and started the conversation. "You have got to stop letting me sit in silence to contemplate what I did wrong before you start talking to me Cobra. I would rather get yelled at than drown in the tension of disappointment in the air."

"At least you know what you did was wrong I guess."

"I'm sorry! I really am. But the kids didn't want me to say anything to anyone."

"I'm not upset at you Junie."

"You're not?"

"I don't really know how to feel about it. I'm glad you took initiative to help those kids out, I really am, but the running off needs to stop kid. You know that it's not safe for you to be doing that so you need to quit running off to different territories like that. I'm trying to keep you safe and out of SWORD business, so you need to quit running into it head first."

"Okay... can I use one of your ice packs?"

"For what?"

"I may or may not have fought a little with the Rude Boys and feel a few bruises forming?"

"YOU WHAT?!"

"I fought defense I swear! They were surrounding me and not letting me leave! And then one boy charged at me and then it just kinda happened," Junie said with a shrug. "Them bitches be strong though. I held my ground for a while but then got tired out because I was fighting four of them. Then one of them threw me over his shoulder and he carried me away before you called."

Cora just looked at her, closed his eyes, looked away, and let out the biggest sigh known to man. "I'm not even gonna say anything. Eat your cheesecake and don't run off anymore," he said as he took a bite out of his cupcake.

Bonus

It's been a few hours since Junie left Cobra to go talk to Naomi. They must've gotten carried away talking, he thought to himself. That tends to happen when they're together, but Cobra got a little sulky because tonight was supposed to be for him and Junie before she had to leave for school again. I'm sure she'll be back in a bit, he thought as he went back to scrolling on his phone. Just then, Naomi and Yamato hurriedly threw open the door to his office.

"WELL DAMN! AT LEAST BE GENTLE WITH MY DOOR! THAT SHIT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR!" shouted Cobra at the other two. They were a bit stunned because his voice volume is never high. (Truth is they startled him so he started shouting.)

Naomi snapped out of it first. "Cobra, where is Junie?!"

"She said she was going to Itokan to talk to you."

"She did. And then she said she was coming back to hang out with you."

"Well, she's not here obviously."

"Okay, so what the hell is this?" asked Naomi as she handed the little sticky note Junie wrote on to Cobra.

"I know you're gonna be mad at me once you find out but I made these for you guys, with a smiley face at the end."

Before Cobra could answer, DTC showed up at the gas station to fill up their bikes' gas tanks. The 3 popped in to say hi to the other trio.

"Hey guys!" (Tettsu)

"Just stopping by to grab some gas for our bikes." (Dan)

"What are you guys doing?" (Chiharu)

"Have you guys seen Junie?" (Naomi)

"Yeah. We saw her earlier." (Tettsu)

"Earlier when?" (Naomi)

"Right before she went into Itokan to talk to you." (Chiharu)

"What did she say to you guys?" (Yamato)

"She asked us what happened when Yamato and us went to Nameless City because you guys wouldn't tell her anything. Why?" (Dan)

"Junie is missing. She was supposed to be with me but then she said she was gonna go to Itokan and now Naomi can't find her either. Did she say anything else to you guys?" (Cobra)

"She asked us how to get to Nameless City then how long it took us to get there. Then she asked Chiharu how long it took him to get to Nameless City... without... a bike..." Tettsu's words started to slow down as he realized what he, Dan, and Chiharu had done.

"You are all gonna be the death of me." (Naomi)

Cobra pulled out his phone to call his sister, having a good idea on where she is now.

The Mighty Warriors pulled up in the Kuryu provided van to Junie’s performing arts academy. “Yo Bernie, this the place?” asked Ice through the back window.

“Yep. Just gotta wait for the girl to come out now.”

“Preferably, can we just take the girl and not have anything pop off around here? There are other kids here,” said Pearl.

“I didn’t take you for someone that cared about kids bro.” (9)

“I don’t, but these kids are a bunch of rich people’s kids and I personally don’t want to get involved with any other people in power. Dealing with Kuryu is enough for me, I don’t know about the rest of you.” (Pearl)

“He’s right. We don’t want to get involved with anyone we don’t need to. Get the Sannoh Girl and we’re out of here.” (Ice)

The group went back to their own things as they waited for Junie.

Class had ended for the day for Junie and her friends. The group of girls were walking out of the building and still talking about the dance routine they had just learned, and the homework they had left to finish.

“Junie are you crashing at one of our dorms tonight or are you going home?”

“I’m gonna-”

“Junie!” Junie turned at the call of her name and looked at the group of people standing by the van they were driving.

“What are the Mighty Warriors doing in front of my school?”

“Cobra sent us to pick you up.” (Bernie)

“Did he now?”

Junie’s friend Kaya grabbed her arm and whispered, “Junie, do you know them?”

Junie turned around to look at her friends and said loudly, “Sorry guys! I guess I can’t crash at the dorms tonight, my brother probably wants me home for something. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.”

“Oh, that was easier than I thought,” said Bernie to the other Mighty Warriors.

“A little too easy.” (Sarah)

Junie gave all her friends a hug, as Junie went in to give Kaya a hug she whispered, “Call Cobra and tell him what happened when you’re safe back at your dorm okay?”

“What about you?” Kaya whispered back.

“Don’t worry about me, I’m a big girl, I’ll keep myself safe,” Junie whispered back.

Junie let go and watched the other girls walk away, waving to them. She waited for them to be a safe distance away before descending down the stairs to stand in front of the Mighty Warriors. “Let me make one thing clear. My friends have nothing to do with S.W.O.R.D. business, so whoever you just saw erase them out of your memory right now unless you want me to rain hell on your crew. I can assure you that I don’t need my brother or his gang to cause problems for you.”

“And here I thought that you were going to be easy to deal with.” (Bernie)

“Your braincells must suck ass then, why would anyone in our world be easy to deal with?”

"Girl-" (Bernie)

“We won’t touch your friends, you have my word. We’re criminals but we’re not evil, those girls are kids who aren’t tied to our business, we’ll leave them be.” (Ice)

"Thanks I guess."

“Get in the van kid, you’re gonna be our bargaining chip.” (9)

“One, you're already failing as kidnappers. You're not giving me any good bribes or threats to get into the van. You didn’t even offer to give me candy as a starter. Two, Cobra won’t be worried, he knows you’ll return me because you’re gonna get sick of my shit real quick. Three, whatever money you’re getting from this job of kidnapping me, do everyone a favor and take some of that money and fix those fuck ass braids. And I thought Tettsu’s dreads were ugly… how the fuck did you out-ugly Tettsu?” Junie pulled herself up into the back of the sketchy white van 9 told her to get into and sat down on the floor, taking off her backpack to hold at her front and setting her duffle bag down at her side. She looked out at the Mighty Warriors who all had a look of disbelief on their faces. (Something like this lol😧)

“Well? Are you guys getting in or should I run and you guys chase me?”

Ice and Sarah went to the front of the van to drive while Pearl, 9, and Bernie got in the back with Junie.

"Give me your phone kid." (9)

"No."

"Give me your phone." (9)

"No. Who are you? My dad?"

9 and Junie wrestled for her phone. 9 was able to get it from her and turn off her location tracking before giving it back.

"Now your brother can't track you." (9)

"Obviously. I wasn't born yesterday."

"Don't call or text anyone for help either." (9)

"Puh-lease it's you guys that are gonna need help being stuck with me, not the other way around, the fuck."

"We're literally kidnapping you, that doesn't scare you?" (Pearl)

"Now that I think about it, I guess I can't use the 'who are you my dad?' approach because my real dad doesn't even tell me what to do huh? And no I'm not scared."

"Why?" (Pearl)

"Dude, I got kidnapped by Noboru a few months ago and gangs are running around my home town left and right. This? This is nothing. Usually the other gangs don't touch me though because it's Cobra's rules that I'm off limits but clearly y'all didn't get the memo."

"That's cause we're not other gangs kid, we're Mighty Warriors!" (Bernie)

"You keep telling yourself that you're special. Whatever helps you sleep at night."

"Are you ever nice?" (9)

"BITCH! I am literally sitting in the back of a sketchy white van with some dudes who just kidnapped me from my performing arts academy! WHY THE FUCK WOULD I BE NICE TO YOU GUYS?!"

"She's got a point. How do you know who we are? You knew us right when you saw us back there." (Pearl)

"I run a tight circle with the other S.W.O.R.D gangs, they let me know what's happening and who is new in the area. Anyways.... what are your names? Don't give me stupid code names or fake names, I have a feeling we're gonna be seeing each other a lot from here on out so it would be nice to put names to faces."

"Bernie. I'm the designated Mighty Warriors' DJ."

"Pearl."

"9."

"You said you're at a performing arts academy. What do you study at school?" (Pearl)

"Piano, contemporary dance, and I dabble in ballet because it's a requirement to graduate."

"Sounds boring to me. You should check out Mighty's stuff." (Bernie)

"Does Ice also pay you to be Mighty Warriors' marketing manager? Just because my art is different from yours doesn't make it boring."

"But everything you're doing is so slooow. That's boring." (Bernie)

"And obnoxiously loud beats with strobe lights give me a headache. Your point is?"

"We can agree to disagree. Music is music and art is art right?" (Pearl)

“Yeah.”

“You not scared we gonna kill you or something kid?” (9)

“Why do I get the feeling you’re really itching to get a punch in at me or something braids?”

“BRAIDS?! I LITERALLY TOLD YOU MY NAME AND YOU’RE GONNA CALL ME BRAIDS?!” (9)

"DID I NOT TELL YOU TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM THIS JOB AND FIX YOUR FUCK ASS HAIR EARLIER?!"

“Don’t let 9’s questions bother you,” said Bernie. “He’s a lil softy at heart,” he whispered to you. 9 reached over and smacked Bernie on the arm. “Ow bro what the hell!”

“Don’t tell the kid that shit! I’m supposed to look scary! Be intimidating!” (9)

“If you want my opinion you’re all doing a shit job at being scary. The only remotely intimidating Mighty Warrior member is the lady up front.”

“That’s Sarah.” (Bernie)

“The guy driving is Ice, he’s our leader.” (Pearl)

“Ohhh. She's very intimidating but seems like a cool person actually. And to answer your question, no, I’m not worried you’re gonna kill me. Something tells me you guys don’t do that kinda shit.”

“What if we do?” (9)

“Then I’ll fuckin haunt your asses forever until you all go clinically insane and can’t even think properly to make music. You’ll spend the rest of your life locked up in a 4 by 4 white room whispering to yourself while I creep around your mind and materialize out of thin air. Try me bitch. If you go low I will go lower.”

9 just looked at you, speechless and kinda terrified. Bernie and Pearl both laughed hysterically at the way you responded to 9 on top of his reaction.

“I like this kid!” (Pearl)

“Yo, can we just keep her? She's funny!" (Bernie)

"No, sorry. You're gonna have to return me to my brother eventually."

"Damn. We got you for now though so that's fine." (Bernie)

The van continued on driving as Junie bickered with the 3 Mighty Warriors she was stuck with in the back. As funny as these guys were, she knew that the people they answered to for this job probably weren't as chill as they are, and could only hope that Kaya called her brother and that Sannoh would be on their way to help her soon.

✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧✧❁❁✧✿✿✧❁❁✧

Kaya quickly made her way back to her dorm. After checking her surroundings to make sure no one followed her or if anyone was hiding nearby, she pulled out her phone and clicked on Cobra's contact.

When Junie first came to the academy, Kaya was the first girl to become friends with her, not minding what Junie's older brother and his friends did for a living. Kaya was interested in how Junie lived her life outside of school, eventually convincing her parents to allow her to go visit Junie in Sannoh. Once she learned the nature of Junie's life outside of the academy, she was given Cobra, Yamato, and Naomi's contact information in case situations like these occurred outside of Sannoh where they couldn't get to her immediately.

The phone rang twice before Cobra picked up the phone.

"Cobra?"

"Hey Kaya, Junie staying with you tonight right?"

"Um, no. She was, but then some people were parked at the front of our school and said that you sent them to pick Junie up. Junie played along and made sure we all safely left the area first before going with them. She told me to call you when I got to my dorm. I asked her what about her and she said she would manage. Cobra I'm so sorry I didn't know what to do and-" Kaya began to cry and panic.

"Hey, hey it's okay. You did good, you did what Junie told you to do. I don't want you getting roped into our business neither does Junie. You did good it's okay."

"Okay..."

"Kaya do you know who was there? What did they look like?"

"Um, there were 5 people. 4 men and 1 woman. They were wearing street clothes. They were, um, standing in front of a white van. They knew Junie because when we got outside they called out to her and were super casual when they said that you told them to pick her up. I, um, I don't think I can remember anything else."

"Okay, that's okay. Thank you-"

"WAIT! Cobra I remember something else!"

"What do you remember Kaya?"

"When they called out to Junie, her back was turned because she was talking to us, but when she turned around she asked what Mighty Warriors were doing here."

Cobra let out a big sigh, screwing his eyes shut in annoyance. "Okay, thank you Kaya. Stay safe okay?"

"Okay... can you bring Junie back safe?"

"Bring her back I can do, I always will, but safe? Safe isn't a common word in our world Kaya."

"I know but... just bring my best friend home please?"

"I will Kaya. Go to sleep."

"Okay."

The line went dead after that. Kaya was worried but knew that Junie was tough, she could hold her own until Cobra came for her. Kaya went to bed trying not to worry too much about her best friend.

Cobra on the other hand was getting ready to blow up all of Chikuni City. It's been a long time thing that Junie is off limits when attacking Sannoh especially because all of S.W.O.R.D protects her, but clearly not everyone honors unspoken rules. Cobra got up from the couch and started to pace Yamato's garage.

"Who was that?" (Yamato)

"That was Kaya." (Cobra)

"Kaya? As in Junie's friend from school?" (Yamato)

"Yeah." (Cobra)

"What did she call for?" asked Naomi as she entered the garage.

Cobra let out an exasperated sigh and looked at the two of them. "Mighty Warriors just took Junie."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" (Yamato)

"What happened?!" (Naomi)

"Junie already told me this morning she was gonna crash at the dorms, but Kaya says that after class when they left the academy, Mighty Warriors were waiting for Junie outside. She was calm and played along until her friends were safe and out of the area before following them. Now she's with them. I just checked her location and her tracking is turned off." (Cobra)

"Idiots. Always getting a kid involved when she's got nothing to do with them." (Naomi)

"How do we find her now? We need to tell the others." (Yamato)

"We will, I think-" Cobra's phone started to buzz. He lifted the phone to check who was calling and was met with a picture of him and Junie. He hurriedly answered the call and put it on speaker. "JUNIE! ARE YOU OKAY?!"

"WHERE ARE YOU?!" (Yamato)

"JUNIE ARE YOU HURT?!" (Naomi)

"So caring. Junie must be so thankful to have so many people taking care of her."

"Kohaku?! WHERE THE HELL IS MY SISTER?!" (Cobra)

"No need to worry, she's safe, right Junie?" (Kohaku)

"I'm fine guys! Just gonna die because Kohaku and Lee's egos are so fucking inflated that it takes up all the oxygen in the room!"

"HEY!" (Lee)

"COME NEAR ME AND I SWEAR I'LL BEAT YOUR ASS! YOU CAN'T EVEN FIGHT DIP SHIT!"

"You can see her after." (Kohaku)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AF-" the phone line went dead. "HELLO?! KOHAKU?! KOHAKU! DAMN IT!" shouted Cobra as he threw his phone onto the couch.

"What does he mean by after?" (Naomi)

"The fight," said Tsukumo as he got off of his bike and walked towards the trio, stopping in front of them in the garage.

"Tsukumo." (Cobra)

"I can't believe this." (Yamato)

"Yo." (Tsukumo)

"Where have you been?" (Cobra)

"What are you doing here?" (Naomi)

"Why didn't you contact us after getting out of the hospital?" (Yamato)

"You guys look rough... Kohaku right?" (Tsukumo)

"What fight are you talking about?" (Cobra)

"Two days from now, Kohaku and 500 members of Mighty and Doubt will come here to crush S.W.O.R.D. Kuryu had Mighty kidnap Junie to use as a bargaining chip against you. All of you. They know that all of S.W.O.R.D loves Junie, and that you'll all show up for not only the fight but for her." (Tsukumo)

WOOHOO WE ARE AT THE END! Sorry if there are any spelling or grammatical errors, I did read through and edit this multiple times but I'm quite prone to making little mistakes here and there that I don't catch.

Did you enjoy the backstory on how Junie met everyone in S.W.O.R.D? These are all just some small blurbs and context to how Junie met everyone and why she has a certain relationship with certain groups and their members. For example, she's very close to Kizzy and Kaito from White Rascals because they act like her parents and she's close with Murayama like he's another brother to her. Whereas with Rude Boys and Daruma they are more of respectful acquaintances.

I will be writing more about Junie and Murayama's sibling like bond in future stories. This story doesn't make it seem like Hyuga and Junie are close because they definitely aren't like how she's close with Kizzy+Kaito or Murayama, but I plan to have Hyuga be like a mentor in a way to Junie in further stories because I wanted to add some depth to Hyuga's character and not just write him as a crazy fighter.

The story for how Junie met Mighty will also be included and continued in the "Junie in High&Low the Movie" post! I didn't want to post all of it here since this is just a how Junie met everyone post so please look forward to that!
