before knowing what damage dan has caused his family and friends

lets have a over look at the life of the brawlers

alice gehabich ( age - 21 ) - she became a researcher just like her grand father . she is very famous and well known . she is having a long distance relationship with shun .

marucho marukura ( age - 18 ) - after his 18th birthday he inherited his father's business and he is looking after their business

Julie makimoto ( age - 20 ) - she became a fashion designer . she is well known reporter , designer and most importantly a brawler . she is now dating her child hood best friend billy gilbert

shun kazami ( age - 22 ) - shun was presently doing as a model ( A / N I know it does not suit for his character but he kinda looks like one ) and has become a youth icon . he is now dating his long term crush - alice gehabich

runo misaki ( age - 20 ) - she has become a singer a very famous one . every one of her friends know that the songs she write are her true feelings and her inspiration to write songs comes from her pain but she puts a very good act infront of camera to not show her feelings and she does a good job in doing it . she tired many things to divert her mind from dan but every time it became more difficult to forget about him . she even dated some guys and in the end they date her for fame or money so she decided to stay alone and wait for dan till her last breath

on with the story

it's been three months since dan has left the brawlers to god knows where . at first every one believed that he went on some crazy training with his partner drago and they had hopes that he would return one day or the other . but all their hopes came to an end when they found a note written by dan himself which says he was leaving the brawlers for good and wont be returning . every one was shocked at first upon learning that their leader wont come back . At first everyone felt empty unhappy betrayed and had a mixture of many such emotions . but later they coped up with that fact and moved on except for three people . those three people shared a greater bond with dan . those were miyoko-dan's mother shun and runo

for Miyoko it has kind of become a regular thing that Dan leaves on some crazy adventure . she know he would keep everyone's safety before him . she tried to understand him but it turns out he is unreadable . she know he would give his life for his friends but why he left them all in dust as of now is a mystery to her . she thinks that may be its her fault , that may be she should have stopped him from going on adventures then may be she could heal the scar Dan has made in their hearts but she can't do anything to bring him back

and next coming to shun if I say he was dan's best friend or more like a brother then it would be an understatement to describe the bond they share . may be I should say they were more like one person than two . they were polar opposites but they share a bond that would not shatter in the hardest times . shun had known dan from childhood and he can read dan like an open book and he can say what dan is up to . but this time it was different . he could not stop dan from going . he can not stop the pain that idiot is causing for miyoko a mother like to him and for runo a sister like to him .

and for runo it was a disaster . she was heart broken after dan left . she and dan had argued much but their arguments were their measure of affection and love they had for each other . she is missing dan as hell . boy dan is going to face a angry runo if he comes back . runo always got a reason for dan's stupid mistakes but now she is speechless and can't understand why he left when everything is fine . shun told her that someone said dan got championship because he had drago and no one will be able to defeat drago and dan can be a champion . but they all know he can keep the champion title even without drago . stupid dan . runo know that dan would easily give away his life smiling if it makes his friends happy but that idiot failed to understand his friends would do the same for him . and they all know his potential as a brawler so why did he leave was still a unanswered question to runo. runo know dan was dense and takes decision without thinking but she never expected him to leave after making her that promise and after confessing their feelings to each other that day


FLASHBACK

it was the day when mira was discharged from the hospital runo decided that she should leave the brawlers . so she was packing her things . that's when she heard a knock at the door . she thought it was Julie and shouted the door is not locked and come in as she was busy packing . she did not even notice some one walk in since her back was facing the door . she was going to say " help me with the packing ju... " but stopped mid sentence seeing it was not Julie but dan . either did not speak any word . dan did not say anything but asked a simple word " WHY " that was enough for runo to break down but she did not want dan to see her crying so she just turned around and wiped her tears quickly . dan slowly went and hugged her from behind and spun her around so she was facing him . but she refused to look at him . so he her look into her eyes by lifting her head . no words were spoken but the message was passed between them . its like their eyes were talking and their hearts understood . it was awkward on runo's side so she decided to ask " dan would you like to have some thing to eat " then dan seriously replied " stop bluffing me runo with that act of yours but I am again asking you tell me why do you want to leave "
