--Disclaimer: I don't own AKIRA or its characters/gangs/locations. I only own Kiba and her 'friends'. So don't flame me, or I'll report you.--
AN:
BEWARE! There is a mild Tetsuo drug-flair in this chapter! Meaning,
he craves drugs and eventually ends up taking them.
Another
warning in this, Tetsuo gets hurt and upset because Oni is a tough
guy when it comes to strangers. Lol.
Remember, I am greatly sorry
if my typing sucks…just bare with it for a little while until I get
used to it again.
CharactersTetsuo
Shima- The main character, anyone who read/watched Akira should
know him already. It seems the 3 children sent him back to 'take
care' of something and start his life again. Hence the title of the
story being 'Tetsuo Has A Second Chance'.
He has a drinking
and drug problem right now.
Kiba Jouchi
– The main female-character, she's my own character and is
a high-ranking member of the 'Rune-Tooth' punk gang.
She is
one of the only people who trust Tetsuo and want him to be in the
gang, Oni has a crush on her but it seems she in fact isn't
interested in him.
Oni Kagari – The leader of the 'Rune-Tooth' punk gang, he's my own character and is the only other OC that actually appears often. He is Oki's older brother and is also a co-manager of an illegal club in southern neo-Tokyo.
Donikoto – A mysterious man cloaked in black, he's my own character and only appears in Tetsuo's dreams. His real identity is not known.
Derby Portfellow– He only appears in certain parts of the story, my own character, and one of the 3 AKIRA test subjects who are from England.
Amy Ellendale– She only appears in certain parts of the story, my own character, and one of the 3 AKIRA test subjects who are from England.
Ted Anderson– He only appears in certain parts of the story, my own character, and one of the 3 AKIRA test subjects who are from England.
Kyūbi Gamushara– He only appears in the first few chapters of the story and possibly a little later. He's my own character, and a high-ranking half man-half fox that is part of the 'Rune-Tooth' punk gang. He possesses ancient kitsune-tribe magic and powers, making him a valuable ally. Which is one of the many reasons why no rival gangs dare challenge the entire 'Rune-Tooth' group, he is exceedingly powerful.
Shotaro Kaneda – He appears often, anyone who read/watched Akira should know him already. His gang now own a bar in the northern district of Neo-Tokyo.
Kai – He appears alongside Kaneda but occasionally is seen either on his own or with other gang members, now being second in command. Anyone who read/watched Akira should know him already.
Other characters that appear: Kei, The Colonel, Oki (Oni's brother) and Lecku, Takashi, Kiyoko and Masaru.
Tetsuo Take Ato Niban Kikai
Part 2:
Harsh
Welcome "…Tetsuo…" "…wake
up…right now…or ELSE."
"Tetsuo…""…Who--what?"
His eyes opened, pupils
instantly dilated as the mass of light shone into his face causing
him to cringe and squirm. Rolling over onto his side, his metallic
arm covering his face, a slight groan spilled from his mouth.
He
shut his eyes once again and tried to sleep.
"Wake up you
lazy bastard!" Kyūbi snapped, kicking the tatty
and worn-out bed, causing a cloud of dust and dirt to fly into the
air.
Tetsuo inhaled most of the dust as he slept and instantly sat
upright, coughing harshly whilst holding his own neck with his tongue
stuck out. Eyes still dazed and not fully open he coughed and wheezed
until the dust had finally settled down.
"…huff…what…the fuck…was that for!?...huff…" Tetsuo snapped as he tried to regain his normal breathing pattern, Kyūbi smirked and swiveled a nearby wooden chair in front of him before sitting down upon it. He was still smirking at Tetsuo only in a more teasing manner, a trait Kyūbi was well known for. He loved and was good at teasing people.
"I had to wake you up before Oni comes in here, he's fuming…and all of us except you know what he's gonna do when he comes in here, he hates it when Kiba brings back strangers…especially ones she finds cute." Kyūbi chuckled before using one of his gloved hands to hold Tetsuo's face upwards so he could have a better look, the 20 year old simply giving Kyūbi a 'bratty-frown' as a response.
"You feel any better? You still don't look too well." Kyūbi asked before Tetsuo pushed his arm away, sighing heavily as the 'bratty-frown' dissipated and turned into a hefty sulk.
"I felt fine, until YOU caused all that crap to fly
into the air and almost suffocate me. And who the fuck is this 'Oni'
guy!?" Tetsuo snapped, rubbing his eyes tiredly.
Kyūbi gave
Tetsuo a smug look.
"Oh…aren't you a lovely kid. You
have such good grammatical skills. Oni is the BOSS of our gang, and
soon to be YOUR boss too. So shut the hell up and show some respect
when he comes in. Otherwise, you'll end up with a broken neck or a
bullet in your head." Kyūbi joked, before the sounds of crashing
and shouting where heard behind the badly damaged door to the
room.
The place was a dump, there was graffiti on the walls along
with many pieces cracked off, the carpet was torn and burnt in
places, and the ceiling had duck-tape covering more cracks.
The
walls where supposed to be white, but the graffiti and burnt marks
made it hard to tell. Tetsuo just hoped the entire place wasn't
like this.
"Sounds like the boss is angry, just remember this one thing: don't talk unless he asks you a question, and be as polite as possible. Unless you want a beating that is…if you're lucky, Kiba might come in with him and she'll defend you." Kyūbi explained before standing up and putting the chair back under the trashed desk beside the door, the same look still on his face.
"I'll
say what I want, when I want! And if he even so much tries to whack
me I'll beat the crap out of him! And what's with that smug look
of yours!?" Tetsuo snapped.
Kyūbi didn't say or do anything
in response; he simply just waved his hand in a careless gesture
before leaving the room.
Tetsuo's frustration elevated upon
Kyūbi's leave, he jumped to his feet and hurried towards the door
before banging his fists on it, shouting and cursing upon the door as
it remained firm and tightly shut.
"How's a god damn
busted door like this keep so well shut!?" Tetsuo hissed, before
finally retreating back to the bed to sit down, rubbing his sore and
tired eyes with his human hand.
The shouting on the other side of
the door was much louder and harsher now, with the sound of Kyūbi
joining in the argument.
Tetsuo sat in silence and listened to the
arguing progress and get worse, Kyūbi's voice no longer being
heard…instead of the loud male voice dominating the argument now,
it was a woman's. It was possibly Kiba's voice.
She rescued
Tetsuo and suggested the idea of taking him in until he got better,
so hopefully she'd stick up for him if this 'Oni' got
aggressive.
The guy sure sounded angry.
"I bet his an ugly, old fuck with no REAL friends." Tetsuo muttered, fiddling with the leather jacket he received earlier when he was helped out of the hole.
WHACK! The door flung open and caused Tetsuo to almost fall off the bed, an angry Oni now stood in the doorway with Kiba stood behind him.
"Oni, listen to me! He has amnesia and
isn't well! Honestly, I trust him! Why can't you!?" Kiba
snapped, Oni snorted at her comment and turned his attention to
Tetsuo who was now in a state of shock.
Oni was a BIG guy; really
beefy and strong, his muscles said everything about that and his
height added to Tetsuo's intimidation.
"So, you're the
scrawny little punk!? Okay, give me 3 reasons as to WHY I shouldn't
kill you right now and I'll consider letting you stay for the rest
of the night!!" Oni snapped, pointing a finger in Tetsuo's
direction.
Tetsuo huffed and looked away, folded his arms stuck
his nose in the air; Oni snorted and clenched his fists, preparing to
attack.
Kyūbi scurried in after Kiba, trying his best to settle the giant down before he pounded Tetsuo's head in and caused any more mental damage to the boy.
"Calm down, Oni! Otherwise you'll blow a blood vessel or something!" Kyūbi pleaded with his boss to settle down, Tetsuo huffed again and turned around completely to have his back face Oni and the others.
"Disrespectful little shit!" Oni snapped before
grasping the back of Tetsuo's jacket and hauling him off the bed,
slamming him into the nearby wall and pinning him against its
worn-down surface.
Tetsuo's bratty face returned, before finally
smirking with delight after he spits on Oni's face.
The entire
room fell silent as Oni used one of his hands to wipe Tetsuo's spit
from his face, before casually smirking at him.
"Ohhhh…that was a BAD idea." Kyūbi said before leaving the room quietly, Kiba stood still in a state of disbelief after seeing that. This was the first time ANYONE dared spit at Oni.
"You…are going to
REGRET that." Oni said calmly before launching his fist into
Tetsuo's gut, quickly followed up with him tossing the 20 year old
to the ground.
Kiba hurried in front of Tetsuo, who was now
attempting to stand up again, but had to spit up lots of blood
first.
That blow to the gut must have REALLY hurt, but he didn't
scream or anything.
"ONI! Stop it! He's so badly hurt that he couldn't even feel that punch you gave him! Leave him alone!" Kiba snapped. Oni shrugged before spitting in Tetsuo's direction.
"If you think I'm letting that little shit into our gang, you're wrong. We have no room for him and that attitude will cause more problems for us." Oni answered back, calming down now that he was looking at Kiba and not Tetsuo anymore.
"No
room for him?? What are you talking about, we have this room and
several others in the 'workers' building down the street
available! Is it 'no room to work' that concerns you!?" Kiba
snapped, pushing Oni's chest with her finger as she spoke.
Oni
became unsettled and nervous with every poke and was soon acting like
a coward; you'd think Kiba was the boss with such a display of
authority.
Tetsuo was now stood upright and rubbing his stomach,
spitting out blood occasionally and listening to the
conversations.
He didn't want another whack again, that guy was
too big to take on alone.
"All work positions have been
filled! And we can't give him one of the more 'demanding' jobs
because he's underage! The legal age alone is 18." Oni answered
back, folding his arms.
Tetsuo stormed over and started to wave
his arms around franticly, as if in protest of something.
"I'm not working!!! And I'm 20, you fucktard!!" Tetsuo snapped as he began to harass the giant, but was quickly intimidated by a fierce growl from Oni indicating that he would hit him again if he got too close.
"See, he's 20. That's 2 years above the legal age, right?" Kiba pointed out, Oni nodded.
"…well…alright…he can be in our gang IF he passes the initiation. But he still doesn't get the job; I doubt he'd attract anyone anyway." Oni answered before kicking the burnt patch of carpet beside his foot.
"Don't
you think he'll attract a LOT of customers with looks like that?
Give him the job!" Kiba snapped at Oni, before winking at Tetsuo
with a cheeky smile on her face.
Oni folded his arms again and
thought for a moment, before approaching Tetsuo.
Tetsuo stepped
backwards as the giant came closer, but couldn't go any further
once his back touched the wall. He was expecting the worst and raised
his arms to cover his face in order to defend himself.
But no
beating came.
He uncovered his face slowly and peeked at Oni, who
was just stood there looking at him.
"Fuck." Tetsuo muttered as he looked up at the giant before him.
"What?
Is something bothering you, Tetsuo?" Kiba asked, now stood beside
Oni in a VERY flirtatious manner.
Stood with her hands on her
knees and leant forwards, her eyes wide and shiny…a cheeky smile on
her face.
What was this job anyway?
"Hell yeah. This
place is a fucking dump and I don't remember anything. Now I
suddenly have to go through some stupid 'initiation' crap!? What
next!?" Tetsuo snapped, Oni quickly grasped Tetsuo's metal arm
once his guard was down and pulled him closer.
Tetsuo nervously
looked side to side in order to take his mind off the huge man
looking right at him, but before he knew it, Oni had grasped Tetsuo
under the chin and was examining something.
He was looking at
Tetsuo's face.
"…" Oni stayed silent for a moment before examining the rest of Tetsuo's physique, ignoring the metal arm almost completely.
"Well? What do you think?" Kiba asked Oni, who had now stop examining Tetsuo and had gotten himself into a 'thinking' pose.
"Body wise, he's perfect for the job. But…" Oni approached Tetsuo again and placed his hands on his shoulders causing Tetsuo to spring into panic, Oni smirking in a sinister manner at the 20 year old before standing upright once more.
"Kyūbi!
Get your dog-ass back in here!!" Oni shouted.
Tetsuo took this
chance to try and make a run for it, but Oni grabbed him by the back
of the jacket and held him tight to ensure he didn't get
away.
"Calm down, we're not gonna kill you! At least…not
yet, that is." Oni teased before placing Tetsuo back on the
bed.
Kyūbi scurried in, almost tripping over someone who was
sleeping outside the entrance to the room.
"What is it, Oni?" Kyūbi asked as he regained his composure, brushing off the dirt on his shoulders.
"Is he fresh or rotten!? Good or
bad!? You know what I want to hear! And I need to know NOW." Oni
snapped as he pointed at Tetsuo, Kyūbi chuckling upon hearing Oni's
request. But still, decided to not answer back in any comical way
whatsoever.
He knew this was serious.
Kyūbi
approached Tetsuo who was now sat down in a 'bratty' pose on the
bed, sticking his tongue out at the fox-like man in front of
him.
Kyūbi sniffed the air around Tetsuo, before grasping his
human arm and sniffing that. Tetsuo obviously retaliated by pulling
his arm away and growling at the strange man, baffled as to why he
was acting like a real dog.
"He's fresh, Oni. And he's in good condition. Too bad he LOOKS sick, because he certainly isn't." Kyūbi answered, Oni laughed at his answer and was especially laughing at Tetsuo's expression. The kid looked CLUELESS.
"You pass initiation. Good thing you're still a
virgin, otherwise I'd have kicked your ass!" Oni laughed,
Tetsuo's eyes widened and his face lit up with disbelief. Kyūbi
WAS like a real dog.
Tetsuo quickly blushed and tried his best to
cover his face, but all attempts failed.
"He'll be popular
if you give him that empty job position, we'll make a mint out of
him and he'll get a roof over his head plus all the attention he
needs. It's win-win." Kyūbi said, trying his best to hold back
his laughter.
Kiba was chuckling slightly behind Oni, seemed like
everyone was laughing at Tetsuo.
And he didn't like it one
bit.
"Stop laughing at me, you fuckers!!" Tetsuo snapped, now starting to cry but was still blushing at the same time.
"You're
a 20 year old virgin!" Oni laughed again, until Kiba tapped him on
the shoulder to look at Tetsuo. Who was now holding his head in his
hands in a deep crying fit whilst trying his best to not show his
embarrassment and weakness; screaming that he was not a virgin.
Oni
stopped laughing.
"Tetsuo, if you don't want to stay here
then fine. Get lost. But if we see you on the streets with any other
gangs we'll kill you, and Kiba doesn't seem to like the idea of
you getting hurt. Who cares if you're a 20 year old virgin anyway?
That joke is long gone now, hell, if you accept this job you might
get laid or something." Oni explained before lighting a cigarette,
dumping the burnt-out match on the carpet.
No wonder there where
burnt marks on the floor, this stupid bastard threw matches on the
carpet.
"Please Tetsuo, take the job. I'll help you."
Kiba said, acting all friendly and supportive. Tetsuo stopped crying
and looked at Kyūbi for extra support, but simply got a thumbs-up
from him.
He then turned his attention to Oni, narrowed his eyes
and flashed that 'bratty-look' again.
"…what is this job anyway?" Tetsuo asked in a curious tone, now drying his tears with the gloves Kiba gave him.
"All the guys around 18 years old in our gang wanted it, but none of them suited the requirements. You see, we own a Nightclub. But that is just the front for our REAL business which is illegal, of course." Oni began, before smoking his cigarette.
"We run a two-way business, unlike many other gangs which only have one. The Clowns have their drug-dealing…The Capsule Gang has a bar-club…then it's us. We have a Nightclub AND a Strip-club. Our higher managers run the place; we just hire people and make sure we're the best in Neo-Tokyo." Oni explained as he smoked, Tetsuo snarled.
"That isn't what I asked you! What's this fucking job!!?" Tetsuo snapped.
"Shut the
hell up, kid. You'll find out later…" Oni said before putting
his cigarette out on the floor causing once again; a fire hazard.
He
waved his hand as he left the room as if giving the gesture that he'd
be back later to explain everything, Kiba and Kyūbi stayed behind
though to make sure Tetsuo didn't run off and get himself any more
hurt.
Tetsuo sighed heavily before rubbing his head.
"Are you alright, Tetsuo? You don't look too good." Kyūbi asked, sat down on that crap chair from earlier. Kiba was sat down on the desk nearby.
"I'm fucking fine! I just…need something to cheer me up, yo?" Tetsuo answered before drinking the glass of water on the table near his bed, rubbing the bridge of his nose shortly after finishing the glass.
"Oh crap. Don't tell me you're a drug addict." Kyūbi coughed, Tetsuo stuck his tongue out at him as a response.
"Look, we don't have anything like the drugs they sell on the streets here. We only have tranquilizers, pep-up or caffeine pills and mild SH drugs. We're a fairly clean gang come to think of it. We're alcoholics, murderers or prostitutes. Well, everyone but Kyūbi. He's only been accused of road rage." Kiba explained, Tetsuo looked at his feet before glancing upwards again. His fists clenched and his teeth gritted together, seems like he was having an unknown craving for something.
"Give me something, anything, I don't care!" Tetsuo demanded, now starting to sweat.
"I bet you where a
victim of the drugs those 'Capsule Gang' kids took. From what I
heard kids who take them things get hooked for life. But I'm sure
we can get you off those in a jiffy once you try our booze." Kyūbi
laughed, Kiba smacked him on the back of the head for such a stupid
comment.
He barely even flinched from the hit.
"Tetsuo, we CAN'T give you any drugs." Kiba said as she rocked back and forth on the desk, before clapping her hands together.
"Wait
a minute! I have an idea!" she said enthusiastically as she raided
the draw nearby for something, cursing as she threw things out of
it.
Kyūbi rested his head on his folded arms to prevent the
flying items hitting his head, but caught a magazine which seemed to
catch his interest.
"Here it is! This should calm you down!"
Kiba said as she revealed a syringe, a fresh one filled with a
strange blue liquid.
Tetsuo raised an eyebrow but quickly got to
his feet to take whatever it was Kiba had in her hand, but he was
pushed back onto the bed by the bossy girl before he could get
anywhere near the supposed 'drug'.
"Kyūbi, make sure
Oni doesn't find out about this. I know how low we are when it
comes to sedatives but we need to make Tetsuo more comfortable."
Kiba said as she instructed Tetsuo to give her his left arm, Kyūbi
sighing as if not even bothered.
Tetsuo handed Kiba his left arm
and watched her movements; she edged the syringe to his arm when
suddenly he snagged it from her grasp and injected it himself.
He
basically sedated himself.
"Kiba, wasn't that a little TOO MUCH sedative?" Kyūbi asked as the slightly drunk Tetsuo laid across the bed giggling like some little kid, drooling all over the pillow.
"That's why I was going to do it, but the idiot
must have thought he could handle the entire dosage. Good thing it
wasn't any more than that, otherwise he'd be dead right now."
Kiba answered before rolling Tetsuo over onto his back and sitting
him back up.
Tetsuo was well 'out-of-it' right now, he wobbled
around constantly and his eyes where half open. He didn't yawn or
anything, it just seemed like he was drunk to his head.
"Tuck
the little mongrel into bed. He'll feel great tomorrow after that
sedative; he needs to feel good too. He'll start work tomorrow."
Kyūbi instructed before leaving the room, the magazine still in his
hand.
Kiba sighed happily as Kyūbi left the room, before laying
Tetsuo down on the bed and tucking him in.
"Try to sleep well, alright? The first day's always the hardest, but believe me, it gets easier."
END
OF CHAPTER 2. AN: Please review, much appreciated if you do!
Wonder what Tetsuo's job is… "Adorable!? Cutie!? You on DRUGS!?
Didn't you hear that language spilling from his mouth!? And I can't
help but feel like I've met him somewhere before…"
