"So you're kidnappers now? Who terrible idea was that?" Y/N spoke as she entered the upper level of the gym. The girl was dressed in a red leather jacket thrown over her school uniform. She looked over to her cousin before shifting her attention to the stoic male next to him. Her face showing the disdain she felt at their idiocy. Finally, Y/N looked over to the tied up male again. She took her time to study his haggard and bloody state. Her lips jutting out in sympathy for the male. "Was it necessary to beat the crap out of him like this as well?" Y/N sarcastically asked, she wouldn't have gotten an answer if she had been serious anyways. Even if a response was given, Y/N wasn't sure that it wouldn't cause her to want to choke her cousin out. "He looks like he's been run over by a freight train," she emphasized before turning to the per mentioned boy. "No offense."
He let out a short chuckle, an amused look crossing his face. "None taken. Being hit with a metal pipe does that to you."
Y/N turned back to the red-clothed boys at his words. Suzaki avoided her gaze instead looking down at the table in front of him. Kohei scoffed, rolling his eyes in annoyance as he spoke "Our time was being wasted." The girl's jaw dropped, her cousin was acting like he wasn't talking about another human being.
"Itoko," Y/N sharply scolded in disbelief. Kohei stood, ignoring the only female, walking towards the tied male. "Kohei-Chan, I'm serious. You can't continue treating people like this! What are you going to do if you seriously hurt someone," she pointed out, raising her voice as she followed behind him.
"Mind your business. Your opinion wasn't asked for, Itoko," he spit back vemonously to the girl.
The room stopped momentarily, deathly quiet as everyone's attention focused on the two cousins. Suzaki Ryo's eyes, especially, bounced between the paltinum-haired male and the smaller girl. The quiet male shifted in his spot, unsure of to how to proceed in the situation. He was unable to pick side, would never be able to, regarding both Amagei cousins as his closest childhood friends deserving of his loyalty.
"Ko-Chan.."
"Shut up," Kohei aggersively cut him off. The rich male disregarded the tense atmosphere rather choosing to bend down in front of the other blond. "Hey, you had some good friends. But that stuff is nonsense," he jeered before grabbing the male's hair and tossing his head back. "You grow weak when you've got something to protect. You don't need friends to be strong," Kohei continued, unaware and uncaring of the effect his words had on Suzaki and Y/N. The other teen quietly scoffed, unperturbed by Kohei's actions. Y/N had found it to be impressive of the boy, she'd grown used to others being scared of her cousin. Although that was due more to his father's power and Suzaki's willingness to follow him rather Kohei himself. "What's so funny?"
"If you were captured, I bet nobody would come to rescue you."
Kohei's face grew in anger, he released his grip on the captured male's hair before beginning to kick him. Y/N quickly rushed over to the pair, fighting against her cousin to create space between the males. She repeatdly plead for the agitated male to stop as she tried. But her efforts were quelled as he pushed her down onto the floor. In shock, she watched as her cousin dilberately kneed the boy in the face. Y/N couldn't recognize her cousin anymore, despite him standing —terrifyingly — in front of her. This couldn't be the same male who fought Ryo's bullies off or treated her like a princess when they were younger. Could it? "We will finish off Oya High tomorrow, Kohei said, kicking the powerless male in the face. The paltinum-male walked off, ignoring his cousin on the ground — the rest following his lead.
"Hey Suzaki," the beatened male spoke. "Does he have some kind of dirt on you? He must. Otherwise, why would you work for him?" His breathing was heavy as he questioned the placid male. He looked over to the girl, it was different for her — understandable for her, family wasn't anyone you could easily turn away from. But Suzaki's commintment to the other male struck as odd to him. Even more so as one considered the physical strength that the raven possessed. Nonetheless, Suzaki left in the same mute manner he maintained throughout everything previous.
"I'm sorry," Y/N whispered after several beats of silence. Her eyes unable to look towards the beaten male in shame. Kohei was a young man capable of making his own decisions, it wasn't up to her to stop him but she felt responsible as the two of them were left in the gym. The unnamed boy grunted in confusion, or pain, as he took in her pitiful form. How could two realtives be so different from one another? "I'll be back." Y/N hurriedly stood up and fled the building.

"They'll come to kill you," a voice spoke with confidence. Y/N stopped on the landing, the first-aid kit she brought back with her hitting against her thigh. She nodded and pursed her lips in contemplation. Kohei and Ryo had it coming to them, and hopefully it'd enlighten them to act better. She was unsure where Kohei's attitude came from but she was tired of dealing with it, substainially after her earlier visit. And it'd be nice for Ryo to regain an back bone.
"It's a good thing I brought a first aid kit," Y/N interjected as she made the rest of the climb up the stairs.
"Stay out of it," Kohei snapped. But Y/N only rolled her eyes in response. While she had been scared earlier, she wasn't intimidated by him or Suzaki; they were the same boys she had wrapped around her finger growing up. She shrug offed her cousin's words instead choosing to walk over to the tied up male, whose name she hadn't managed previously.
"I've returned as promised," Y/N joked as she settled down on the floor next to the him. "I'm Amagai Y/N by the way," she introduced herself, opening up the pocchao box. The girl stopped, staring at him when she was met with silence. "This is the part where you tell me your name," Y/N whispered to the male.
"Tsukasa Takajo," he replied deeply amused. The girl was vastly different compared to the male Amagai. Her joking but no bullshit personality alongside her somewhat sunny dispositon intrigued him. She hummed, testing out his last name to herself. He watched Y/N as she inspected the actuality of his bruises, trying her best to wipe the now dried blood away. "Are you okay, Amagai-Kun?" Tsukasa asked, he had taken in her red eyes and puffy cheeks. Her gaze snapped up to his, effectively causing them to lock into one another's stare, at the question. Y/N's hand pausing where it was on his lower lip.
"Of course, why do you ask? If you forgot: only one of us got beaten up today," Y/N said while tearing away from the male's eyes. She pulled her hand away, focusing her attention on rummaging through the first aid.
"You were obiviously crying," Tsukasa bluntly pointed out.
"Oh, that."
Y/N shrugged, her head titling as she thought over her next words. He wondered if she realized that her lips jutted in a pout in her comtemplation. Tsukasa couldn't help finding it to be endearing, Y/N just seemed unconiously cute to him. "Yeah, I'm fine.. I was just surprised," she said while she resumed cleaning the male up. The blond nodded in understanding, he'd seen how effected the girl had been by her cousin. Though it was hard to imagine that was the first time the male Amagai was rude to the female. "Oi, how can I work if you're moving your head," Y/N complained, her nose scrunching up in annoyance. She moved her hand to hold Tsukasa's chin before returning to the task at hand. The girl was oblivious to his taken aback reaction; and the both of them were unaware of the third person watching their interaction. An small wince escaped the blond's mouth as Y/N pressed an disinfectant wipe to his lip.
"Ow," he muttered to her amusement, an giggle escaping her own lips. Tsukasa stared down at the girl as she half-heartedly apologized. Although Y/N gently returned the wipe to the cut, being even lighter than before with it. It was a disappointment when she finished not long after. A small part of the male wished his bruises were worse, if only as an excuse to have the girl so close. "Thank you," Tsukasa said as Y/N packed the first aid kit up. She hummed in response, leaning back on the railing as she did. His eyes took her in, an defeated air hung about her despite her previous reassurance and relaxed stance.
"Tsukasa-Kun," Y/N hestationly and quietly spoke. Mentioned male only hummed in acknowledge, allowing the female to decide on what she wanted to say. "Can I ask a favor for you? And I guess from your friends as well." She paused once again before turning to face the tied up male, their eyes locking with each other again. "Could you knock some sense into those idiots over there." Inspite of the request and insult, her words were spoken in a lovingly tone. "They're stupid but they're kinda all I've got. It'd be nice if they weren't busy being jackasses," Y/N spoke with a sigh and a soft smile.
"Yeah, we can do something like that," Tsukasa breathily responded with a soft smile of his own. The duo's heads swiveled to the side as a voice yelled out.
"Itoko! Come on, let's go!" Kohei stood near the stairs, despite not paying them any attention, he was waiting for the female Amagai. Picking up her Poccaho first aid kit, Y/N stood up with a groan.
"I'm coming, Itoko. Be patient," she grumbled as she swiped at her uniform skirt. Y/N turned to Tsukasa, giving him another smile and waving as she went to join her cousin. She paused midway, returning back to the tied up male's side. "I forgot, here's my number, Tsukasa-Kun. Text me when you get a chance, okay?" Y/N said as she pulled a pen out of thin air. Tsukasa's breath hitched as she leaned in, closer than previosuly, to write her number on the hem of his white shirt. "Til later, Tsukasa-Kun," she whispered with a wink.

Y/N cautiously stepped over and around the various bodies sprawled on the ground. She didn't recognize the uniforms of the males, but considering the vans parked she assumed they were apart of her cousin's alliance. Despite not knowing Tsukasa long, nor his friends at all, she doubted his confidence in them was ill-placed. Y/N aburptly stopped as she came upon an crowd of multi-colored boys. She scanned the situation, assessing whether she should back away or not when her eyes landed on a certain male. "Tsukasa-Kun!" she called out to him, gaining said male's — and everyone else's — attention. Y/N walked further into the school's entrance, a broad smile on her face. "Your lip's busted again," she pointed out as she readjusted her purse strap higher onto her shoulder.
"Among other things," Tsukasa responded as he stood straighter in his friend's hold. The girl hummed, lightly chuckling, before further taking him in.
"No broken bones though so I assume you're okay," Y/N paused, her eyes glimmering in mischeif. Tsukasa found her to be just as cute as he did the previous night; the girl's charms continuing to unknowingly appeal to the blond. "But if you need a nurse again, you have my number," she teased with little care to those around them and their reactions.
"EHH!?" multiple voices from Oya yelled out in surprise.
"I can't say the same thing for your cousin though," Tsukasa said, opting to ignore his school-mates' outcry.
"Wait, cousin? She's cousin with Amagi?" a male with his raven hair styled in a pompadour pointed out. But his words fell on deaf ears as the focus remained on the female & male duo. Y/N nodded, thinking over the blond's words. She wasn't upset at him on her cousin's behalf rather grateful that he'd kept his promise to her. It was nice; experiencing someone following through for you, even if it was just a by-product of their original intentions. Her smile widen at Tsukasa as she thanked him.
"I better check on them," Y/N awkwardly continued, becoming aware of the crowd of other males. "Excuse me," she said polietly with a small bow before speed walking away from them. A stunned silence fell upon the group as they continued to stare at the spot Y/N previously stood. Their eyes, a certain raven's in particular, turned to Tsukasa in question.

"What are you two idiots doing on the floor like that?" Y/N called out as she paused at the gym's doorway. Ryo and Kohei popped up into sitting positions, their heads simutaneously snapping towards the girl.
"What are you doing here, Y/N-Chan?" Suzaki questioned back in response. He watched as she approached their spot, kneeling and setting her purse down in order to join them. She titled her head in fake thought before speaking in a simple tone.
"I was making sure of a promise." Her eyes studied the two males, taking in Kohei's mangled finger and Ryo's bloodied face. "You guys look horrible," Y/N stated with a grimance.
"We lost to Oya Koukou," He informed her while leaning his head back towards the ceiling. "We're taking in the view that belongs to us," Ryo finished. The girl followed his lead, moving her gaze to face upwards as he did.
"Ryo and I are going to destroy them next time," Kohei interjected.
"That's the spirit," Y/N complimented, dropping her head to look at her cousin. Her eyes looked further down to his hand with the broken finger. "Anyways, in the meantime, can we get you guys to a hospital? I can't look at Itoko's finger like that for a second longer," She said, pointing at it in disguist. Both boys nodded in agreement as the three of them began getting up from the ground.

"Why did you have to come along again," Kohei complained to his cousin as they waited for a certain fighting duo.
"Cause I'm the one with Tsukasa's number," the girl cheekily pointed out for the umpth time since the three had gotten into the car to here.
"And why do you have it again?"
"None of your business," she replied sharply, her eyes widing ever so slightly to emphasize her point. Suzaki watched in amusement as the two cousins bickered with one another. It was reminscient of their childhood; the Amagais agruing with each other as he quietly looked on. Y/N dramatically rolled her eyes, huffing, at something the male had responded to her with. "Ryo-Chan, back me up here," she requested, looking over Kohei's frame to pull him into the fight.
"Ryo's, obviously, on my side," the male Amagai insists, also turning to face Suzaki. And it was true, the quiet boy wasn't a fan of the developing relationship happening between Y/N and Tsukasa. But he'd kept his distaste to himself, and Kohei, having no place other than friendship in the girl's life. The sound of shuffling footsteps breaks the trio's bubble. Their attention turning to the other end of the tunnel where two Oya Kou students make themselves known.
"Hi, Tsukasa-Kun," Y/N exclaimed, her demeanor brightening in excitement. She softly waves to the advancing blond and his friend, Fujio. Kohei and Ryo watched as the gigantic smile, wider than they've ever seen before, that took over her face.
"Hello, Amagai-Kun," he greets back in an similar tone, his own soft smile gracing his features.
"Oi, We're here on business," the other blond male thankfully interjects. "He says he wants to fight you, again," Kohei addresses Fujio, nodding his head in Suzaki's direction as he speaks. Both ravens focus their attention onto one another as Ryo takes a step forward. His scowling face vastly contrasting the aloof air surrounding Fujio. A moment passes between the five of them; and Y/N is unsure if it's the tension or the chilling wind causing her to shiver.
"Our Fujio is very popular, so you need to take a number," Tsukasa informs the trio with an amused grin. They look on as Suzaki inches closer to said male once more. Y/N's mouth drops open, a small gasp leaving, as she witnesses Fujio suddenly round kick the other raven-haired boy. Tsukasa gently placed his hand on her arm, preventing her from moving toward the raven duo. Ryo calmly pushes the Oya school leader's foot down, saying nothing as he returns to his full height.
"That's your number," Fujio remarks in a cool tone, a crooked smile on his face. The girl blinks in confusion, her eyebrows furrowed as she looks around the group of males. Is she the only one that didn't understand?
"That doesn't make any sense," Y/N blurts out, harshly bursting the leader's bubble. Tsukasa can't help the amused smile that breaks across his face at her statement. Leave it to the female Amagai to point out their nonsense.
"Oi~ Amagi, you've ruined the effect," Fujio whines to the girl. "It was supposed to be a cool moment!"
"Eh? But it totally wasn't," Y/N bluntly countered with a matter-of-fact expression. She turned to Tsukasa, grabbing onto his arm and pulling him ever the slightest bit closer to her. The other boys watched as they silently communicated with one another. Suzaki furrowed his eyebrows, it was becoming harder to breathe with his heart squeezing as he watched on. When had the blond gotten to know the girl so well that he could understand what she was saying with her face.

please let me know if i misused the kun and chan suffix's. i tried my best to research how their used but you can never be too sure (unless you're actively learning/know the language) please tell you want the love triangle x2 ”🙏 “ i've kind of fallen in love with it. like reader & tsukasa are so cute that it just can't be helped (ㅠㅠ)
Hi, everyone! I know that I have been MIA for a hot second (tbh, will prob continue to be until my interest in anime is back), but I wanted to announce that I will be accepting requests for characters in the "High & Low" series! I know that this fandom is lowkey dead, and it was small to begin with, but for anyone who is still around and interested, I am writing for it! I'm currently in the process of writing a Ryo Suzaki x OC short story (about 10 chapters), which I'll be posting on here and AO3 inevitably, but in the meantime, I'd love to talk about the series and write some drabbles, so please send some asks my way! <3 <3
Characters I'd love to specifically write for (not limited to them ofc): SUZAKI, TSUKASA, COBRA, Yamoto, Todoroki, Amagai, SMOKEY, Chiharu, Noboru, Murayama, Fujio, TAKESHI, Sachio, Rao.
Based on the information from Cactus' character profile we know that Senomon is located within the S.W.O.R.D region or at least very closely to it since the boy lives there (he can't travel super far just to go to school)
I found some hints about the location of Senomon Technical High School in screenshots posted by a Japanese fan admiring the decoration of Amagai's hideout:
Look at the background, there are maps hanging on the walls. Let's zoom in.
The 2 areas in red are the territories under the control of Senomon.
Of course as an high school, their area of influence only exists within the world of high school students. In the eyes of adults and actual gangs those territories don't exist. Teenagers fighting other teenagers doesn't concern them, as long as the kids stay out of their business they can fight as much as they want. This is how those 2 worlds (gangs & schools) are able to co-exist.
But this also means we can't trust the colors on the maps, for all we know the territory of Senomon Technical High School could be overlapping with some of the different territories of G-S.W.O.R.D.
So instead of focusing on the red areas, let's focus on the shape of the land and compare it to the different areas of S.W.O.R.D
Did you recognise it yet?
It's the coastal region!
Let me show you more closely:
The blue on Senomon's map isn't another territory but water! This must be why there is a thin line linking their 2 territories, because there is a bridge!
So in the end, it turns out that Senomon Technical High School isn't located within S.W.O.R.D but right next to it
And you know which gang lives in that area?
That's right, all the events of HiGH&LOW The Worst X (Cross) took place within the territory of the Mighty Warriors.
I wonder what they thought about that 🤔 If they were still there that is
