Chapter 08: "Episode 2: Resist"
Everyone staring at front. Then yell. And declared that they want to continue watching and thatthe 'show' must go on.
The screen lights up and the show began as the last moment of previous episode replays.
The scene changed.
Takemichi wears an unknown expression as he sats down in a chair. "Time leap" Naoto "from future" began "I have my own theory on how your power works." He paused and walk over to Takemichi before saying "You jumped from July 4th, 2017 in the present to July 4th, 2005 in the past." he rhen fixed his tie "In other words, you can return to the same day 12 years in the past." Takemichi just look at him in awe "I believe that's the power you have" Naoto ended.
"He's really into it huh?" said Mikey, he knew very well that Naoto did his very best to atleast know the said information and that to believe it. Draken just laughed and muttered a little "Yeah" Hinata giggled "He's a detective story fan, go figures"
Takemichi once again look at him in awe.
Intro Skipped
"Uhhh why skip the intro, we could get spoilers you know?" "Exactly. No spoilers for now" Answered the voice.
Letters then showed up
#2: Resist
is what it said
"Episode 2? you keep saying it's like an anime or something" Smiley smiled though he is getting mad and neevous at same time.
"I'm sleepy" "That part is important." Naoto pointed something on laptop.
"Damn, Takemichi you look sucks!" Mikey full-belly laughed "No Mikey, this is serious. We will need to get him a Private Doctor or Nurse soon if this continues on." Draken scolded. Takemichi just rolled his eyes at two 'Wish it stays like this' was his thought before grabbing his head.
"Did you properly read that part?" Naoto said as Takemichi started to fall asleep "And this too." He pointed to another detail as Takemichi tried to stay awake "You went too far" Ofcohrse Naoto won't let him sleep anytime soon "Yes there. Remember that, too."
"Damn." All of the Toman and ex-Toman members groaned as they question how Takemichi stays like that for hours,days or maybe weeks. Well they don't really wanna know. They saw Energy drinks on Takemichi's tabke and that was enough proof they all needed.
'Two days had passed since then. I'm confined inside Naoto's room and haven't slept since.' He narrated as he yawned.
"Woah dude, 2 days?! I can't stay up all night for one day!" Baji shouted "Well in the future yes you can't" Chifuyu bitter laugh. Chifuyu'slaughmakes everyone aware.
'Is Baji...Gonna die?' Was the thought of Mikey, he don't wanna lose another friend. 'It's all my fault' Was Kazutora's thought, he wanted to die that day if it weren't for Draken and Mikey's decision to accept him again.
Naoto cleared his throat earning a small 'eep' from the shock Takemichi "I'll teach you everything there is to know about Tokyo Manji Gang." He said
"Him? Teaching? about us?" Baji questioned rather amazed to see an innocent civilian teaching about a gang, "Are we a school subject?!" Smiley laughed and everyone facepalmed.
'Naoto is crazy. He's planning to kill me.' Takemichi sighed 'Five days ago, on July 1st. Tachibana Hinata got caught in a dispute.'
"Woah. You're very pretty, Hina-chan!!!" Emma giggled, The said girl mumbles a little thank you as she blush.
'-between the criminal organization, Tokyo Manji Gang and die.'
Everyone flinched. It's really unnecessary (or not?) to remind them of said event.
"During the day of the festival, a truck hit the stall shewas in and die. She was 26 years old at that time." A picture of incident was shown as the camera changed back to Takemichi.
Everyone shifted from their seats. They knew Takemichi was or IS serious about saving his girlfriend and all of them, but this is still a fact they can't just accept.
"You can find details about the Tokyo Manji Gang's actions that has yet been disclosed to the public in that report. My predecessor risked his life to invistigate it." The screen shows a dead body.
Everyone covered their mouth in shock and some in disgust. "WTF" Baji shouted as he also cowered in fear. Tokyo Manji Gang isn't like this,and will NEVER be like this.
Takemichi covered his mouth in disgust. "The one in that last picture is him." "Eh?!" Takemichi look at Naoto who said "His cover was blown during the investigation and they killed him." Naoto's reflection was clearly shown in a mug of coffee.
'Still addicted to coffee, I see.' Hina deadpanned , Yuzuha look at a certain lavender haired boy as the said boy groaned 'What had happened in future? This time you would tell us that it was definitely bad for his health.' She thought.
"His eyeballs...were scoop open. And a device that recorded the entire thing were found inside his eye socket." Takemichi look at Naoto in Horror.
"Disgusting" Baji groaned as Hakkai trembled and mutter a small 'scary'. Despite the scene Hanma amazed and whistled "How lovely~".
Hanma earned a rock (big and hard) on his face. Kazutora get the rock from- who knows where he got that?!- place as he laughed and everyone look at him either worriedly or weirdly.
"After countless request, I was able to be left in charge of this investigation half a year ago." Naoto placed the coffee in table as he continue.
"The police decided to keep this a secret to avoid commotion in the general public. The name of the investigator is omitted."
"But isn't it dangerous?" Hinata worried for her brother. She wants to see him success in his said mission, but of course she don't want him to die or risk his life just for her.
"Even before this, The Tokyo Manji Gang is primarily led by Tetta Kisaki."
"Kisaki?!" Shouts Mikey, he couldn't accept that he himself will let the fucking devil in on his gang if it weren't for - for - for whatever is this thing.
"You know him Mikey?" "He is about to be the3rd division Captain in exchange for Pah ubtil I was teleported here."
Silence.
Silence.
Silence.
"Let's continue watching maybe then we can know more." said Sanzu. Chifuhu was visibly annoyed.
'Asshole!'
'Naoto is trying to teach me everything he knows about the Tokyo Manji Gang' Takemichi sighed as he leaned his face against his hand. "But, is this really necessary to save Tachibana?" Takemichi gave a sheepish look as Naoto said "The isssue with your ability is that you can only go to the current date 12 years in the past." Naoto explained.
"Ooookaaayyy... That's a problem, don't you think?" Kazutora unconsciously said, everyone look at him, Takemichi nod for him to continue and Chifuyu grinned at him, suspicious isn't it?
A blush crept in Kazutora's face as he cleared his throat. "First, if he can only travel 12 years from future to 12 years in past and if someone like Shinichiro or someone dead past 13 years ago is the key to solve this mess, then he shall save them right? But the second one is the fact that he can't save them since they died 13 years ago and he can only travels 12 years in past." He explained.
Everyone look at him in awe. No-one actually knew the hidden intelligence of Kazutora. Kazutora flushed earning a proud grin from Chifuyu and Baji "Bullseye, Kazutora-kun!" Shouts Takemichi happily. "I-I don't know my theory's correct" He flushed more.
Takemichi blinks that was just your theory right?" A flashback was shown as Takemichi continues "But you're alive right now. So what happens back then was real." The flashback ended.
"For a first theory, Naoto and Kazutora-kun hits bullseye hard." Takemichi shrugged. "So that's true, huh?" Mikey nods.
Takemichi shrugged "But how am I supposed to back to the past again-" Naoto cut him off "If you back to the day my sister died!" Naotobeginratherenergetic as he clenched his fist, Shocking the hell out of Takemichi.
Evwrybody laugh at the scene layed infront of them. Mikey laughed full-belly as Draken sighed "I can't choose who to pity. Takemitchy or Tachibana's lil bro" He sighed once again.
'Guess it's both.'
"And stop her from going to the hospital by force, we might be able to save her. But since we can't choose when in the past we can go, we must do what we can do." The screen shows Naoto infront of a Whiteboard, which have many written words and pasted pictures of different people on it.
"Serious much, you could at least get a freaking rest!" Yuzuha cursed "Yeah but Hina sure is lucky~" Emma rolled her eyes.
"Please time leap, go back to 12 years ago during your middle school days, and meet a certain person." Naoto said "A certain person?" asked a confused Takemichi. Naoto put his hand on whiteboard as he said "The two leaders of Toman." Picture of "future Manjiro Sano" was shown and then the screen moved to Picture of "Future Kisaki Tetta" followed by Naoto's voice "and Tetta Kisaki" Naoto said "Scary" Takemichi paled.
Everyone laughed at his expression while he just blush and try to hid in a corner.
"Sano and Kisaki. If this two hadn't met, the current Tokyo Manji Gang wouldn't exist. In other words, my sister wouldn't get caught in their action and die." He said "I see. So I have to go back to my middle school days and prevent them from meeting each other." Takemichi said grasping the situation.
"We did met though" Mikey groaned "So what will happen if you met Kisaki first instead of Mikey?" Draken asked confused "I'll be the bad guy?" Takemichi suggest "Or problem will be solved easily?" Chifuyu suggest.
"I understand the plan, but how do I get back to the past again?" Takemichi stands up just as Naoto said "Takemichi-kun, you told me you got back when you shook hand with me, right?" "Oh? yeah." Takemichi answered "That might be the trigger." A flashback of their first handshake was shown, and it ended as soon as it was shown.
There was a pause.
"Oh." That's Baji
"Clever." That's Smiley.
"That was supposed to be obvious!" Kazutora shouts which earned everyone's confused attention. "N-Never mind" He stuttered.
Takemichi look at his hands as he ask "So it was that handshake?" Naoto continued his previous words as if answering him "That time, you saved me. And because of that, I might have become part of your power." Naoto stared at the whiteboard infront of him.
Takemichi gasp. 'I see. I thought he was some kind of a crazy dudeat first. But he's this serious precisely because he believes that I can leap through time.'
"Ah~ No break? I can't believe you two went that far" Mikey pouted as he feels tiny guilt starts to form within his heart. "Ever heard of the word "comic relief"?" Baji rolled his eyes and Smiley laugh hard. Angrt just deadpanned them.
Naoto look at Takemichi "Takemichi-kjn." He began "Are you rwady?" he finishes as Takemichi look at his hand 'When it comes to the desire to save Tachibana-' he thought before answering "Yeah." Takemichi clenched his fist, he wears a determined look as he finish his previous though 'I won't lose to Naoto!'
"So it's a competition, now?" asked a pouting Hinata, despite he wanted to get angry for how much they risked their life for her, she is very happy that the two becomingcloser and closer to each other like they should.
"I knew the feeling alright, you have two, I have three" Yuzuha smirk and Emma just giggled "Three? As in Three boys competiting over you?" asked Draken "No. But they always held competition to see who owes each other's life." "Wait like literally." "Why do you think I'm not free. Because I lose to that Monster of a Big Brother I have. Then there's my younger brother too who lose to him, then our protector who is so damn stubborn to the point he almost die but still want to try and defeat that monster" "Woah that's a lot to take in" Laugh Smiley "Who is your big brother anyway?" asked Angry.
Silence
Silence
"Taiju. The leader of Black Dragon 10th Generation." Hakkai answered for her "Oh. How'd you know?" groaned Baji "Because I'm a Shiba as well." He answered, everyone look at him in shock. "You need help? I can defeat him" Mikey smiled to him.
Mitsuya look at Mikey in shock 'Yep. You defeated him in future alright.' He smiled.
"Sano and Kisaki. They both met each other in August, 12 years ago. Get in contact with either one of them, follow their movement, and stop them from meeting each other." "Okay, I'll do my best." Naoto approached him and offered his hand as he said "You're the only one who can save my sister." Takemichi look at him,now fully awake and determined more than ever as they shook hands.
B A D U M P
A sound like Electricity was heard.
"Back to the past" Draken sighed. He doesn't really want to see another "surprise" which happens everytime Takemichi travels from future to past.
Takemichi open his eyes and was shock to see a black-haired boy with with his fist raised as he shouts and stare at Takemichi "Eh? Where's Naoto?" Takemichi muttered as he look around in hope to find Naoto.
Everyone slapped their forehead as Baji screamed "Dude WTF!" he had screamed.
Jeers and cheers continues on
"Stop stallin' you idiot!"
"Hurry up!"
"Kill him!" the shouts doesn't stop there. "Eh? Hold on-" Takemichi paled.
"Did you come here to eat breakfast?!"
"Don't put me to sleep, you Dumbass!"
"C'mon do it!"
"Hanagaki, I bet 1,000 yen on you!" Takemichi paled even more.
"Woah they sure are loud" laughed Yuzuha "Who would bet 1,000 yen on him?!" asked Baji not noticing how Takemichi shrunk on his seat.
"What the heck is going on?! Hold on a second!" He shouts as he grabbed his phone from his pocket and look at time. Time was "Wednesday, July 16th, 2005"
'I'm in 12 years in the past!'
"Now the trigger was proven to be true" Hakkai announced after choking.
'It's just as Naoto said!' He thought as the enemy started to run towards him raising his fist. "Wait, hold on--"
"Partner you sure came at the weirdest and wrongest tine and place y'knie?" laughed Chifuyu. Takemichi pouted as he feels a bit betrayed.
Takemichi get punched and blocked out.
'I reallyleapedthroughtime again.'
Takemichi was shock as he woke up "Hey, Hanagaki is awake." said one of them.
'Did I passed out?' The answer was obvious yet he asked himself that. Red go near his face and spoke "Why did you get knocked out in one punch, dumbass?!" he shout in his face.
"Ugh. He's so annoying!" complained Baji "You should've told us how annoying he is Takemitchy~" "Yeah! We could've beat him up too!" Draken was annoyed.
Mitsuya sighed "That would be unnecessary." Everyone look at him,he just shrugged and look at the screen as it resumes.
"Everyone bet money on you!" Red continued to rant "Don't show us a lame-ass match like that." said the guy with mask.
'Match?' he thought "Ain't that right, Kiyomasa?" the guy with a mask asked Kiyomasa, as the said man counts money. Takemichi get up.
'That scar on his eyebrow. The leader of Shibuya Third Mid. Kiyomizu Masataka!' Takemichi recites in his mind as Kiyomasa sits up "This underground fight is over if there's no one to watch." Said Kiyomasa.
'Underground fight? I see. People were betting money on that fight. I remember now. These guys were a bookie.' He thought finally remembered the event.
"Damn, Shit!!!" Smiley laughed.
"How long does it take for you to remember something like that?!" Baji shouts.
"For now, teach that piece of shit a lesson!"
Takemichi flinched. He knew what's going to happen next.
Kiyomasa's gang beat him up as he curled on himself. "What are you, a freaking turtle?!" shouts one of them "Stand up you shit!"
"You should've told us Takemitchy~ we would've beaten them up so badly." said Mikey "Tch. Include me!" Baji shouts but is ignored.
"I'll beat some guts out of you!" Takemichi curled even more as he keeps his eyes closed trying to ignore the pain 'That's right! I was their slave! I was forced to do what they told me.' He thought "What the hell's wrong with him?"
"Want a list?" Takemichi groaned, only his Partner - who chuckles - heard though.
"Leave me some spot to hit, too Red" "There! What a lame nerd!" The beatings continue until Takemichi blacked out.
Hina covered her mouth as tears started to form in her eyes. Others groaned in hatred. They all hated how their hero was treated.
Takemichi woke up late 'They force me to fight some random guy. And if I lose they will beat me up. Every single day. It was a living hell. That's why I ran.'
Akkun flinched 'He ran?' Takuya embraced himself 'Now this is new.' "Maybe we shouldn't go" whispered Yamagishi to which Makoto nod.
Takemichi shakily stands up muttering a small "ouch".
'Iabandonedmyfriendsand even my girlfriend, Tachibana.'
"We can't and won't blame you for that Takemichi, its our fault too, to try and pick a fight with Kiyomasa" Akkun reassured.
"Tachibana..." he whispered "You better try a little harder next time. You were so pathetic roday. Let's go." They said as they walk away.
"Wanna eat some ramen?"
"Ummm..." Takemichi started, Red turned to him ang grin as he said "Man, you're persistent. You're still awake?"
"Ummm..." He tries again "You guys are in Tokyo Manji Gang, right?"
"Oh-Shit! You're not trying to-" Baji cut himself off in shock. "Partner the hell!" Shouts Chifuyu as he knock him over the head, Takemichi mutters a small apologize while others grew worried.
And others laughed.
"I'd like to meet the leaders, like Sano or Kisaki." Everybody look at him, despite this he continues on "So I wonder of you could help me out."
Smiley laughed "You're really fucking did it! Awesome!" Angry sighed. Sometimes he can't bear his twin's attitude.
"Ah, if that's not possible, then that's okay." Kiyomasa gritted his teeth andcrushed the cigarette. Everybody backs off as Kiyomasa command them.
"Bring me my bat!"
"Please stop!" Hina cried as Emma comforted her.
"Tch. How about I beat him to death, sounds good right?" Bani cackled and Everyone ignores him again.
Kiyomasa beat Takemichi with a bat.
"Oi! If someone didn't stop him! he could've die!" Smiley shouts depite thefact he knew that everyone of them knew it very well.
"S-Sorr--" Takemichi cutted himself as flahbacks were shown.
"H-Hey shouldn't we stop him now?"
"Kiyomasa! Stop it! He will die!"
"Finally! Someone with a brain!!" Shouts Emma and the majority agreed.
The scene changed to a beaten up Takemichi "Wake up, Hanagaki" Kiyomasa ordered and Takemichi get up and come face to face with a mad Kiyomasa.
"The next time Sano-kun's name comes out of your mouth...Do you know what will happen? I will kill you."
"Oh ~ Tell that to me Kiyomasa 3 I would love to hear that" Mikey sarcastically said as dark aura surrounds him.
"SCARY!!!"
'What's wrong with this guy?! You can't even talk with him! It's impossible! I can't meet them! He said he'll kill me if I say their name! I'll seriously die atthis rate! Is this guy seriously a middle schooler' Takemichi's thought were followed after another and he started doubting himself.
"I heard he's a repeater?" offered Mitsuya "But there it goes - your negative attitude" sighed Draken
"Oh come on cut me some slack. I was stressed!"
Takemichi started to cry as he runs off 'Meeting the leaders of the Tokyo Manji Gang? A slave like me?' He though.
"It's Impossible!"
"These people just won't help, huh?" aaked Kazutora not really surprised. Baji just look at him worriedly. 'Tora...'
"It's Impossible, Naoto!" More people look at him. 'I forgot. I completely forgot. I'm still me. It won't change even in my second chance at life. Let's go back. Back to the future.' He cries.
"Oi! Oi! Don't tell me?! Why are you so Negative?!" Baji burst out and everyone chose to ignore him. Again.
"How can I go back?" He asks himself 'That's right.' A flashback of handshake was shown 'Our handshake is the trigger. I just have to meet Naoto.' He thought as he walk.
"Ummm Yeah-no." Mitsuya gasped "OH MY GOD! YOU LOOK SO PATHETIC!" laughed Smiley others just sighed.
Their crybaby hero won't give up that easy, and they knew that.
The scene changed.
Takemichi rang the doorbell.
"Eh? Is no one at home?" he ask himself 'It has to be Naoto. As long as I can shake my hand with Naoto, I can return to the future.'
A flashback of Naoto was shown.
"You're the only one who can save my sister." Naoto had said to him.
The flashback ends.
"God! Jeez! Another romance, really?!" Baji tsked. "H-hey! No homo!" Takemichi pouted making Baji and Mikey laugh as hard as they could.
'Poor Takemichi/Partner' was the thought of Kazutora and Chifuyu.
'Am I going to run away again?' Takemichi looked down, suddenly a voice was heard.
"Eh? Hanagaki-kun?" Takemichj gasped as he look behind him only to see Hinata.
"Here comes the lovebirds!" laughed Chifuyu "Partner! Stop!" tries Takemichi.
'Since when this two-' Baji cut off hus thoughts as Kazutora throw his shoes at Hanma.
Baji sighed.
This four guys won't stop confusing him.
"Tachibana? Why?" Takemichi asked confused and shock.
"THAT'S HER HOUSE!" A majority chorused and Hinata giggled.
"Why, you ask? That's my house." She answered nonchantly. Takemichi blink. "I see. Well, Of course-" Hinata cut him off as she comes face to face with him.
"Did you get in a fight again?" She asked "Sorry." He said. Hinata look worried. "You look really bad, today ."
"You have a great future-wife there Takemitchy ~ I'll kill you if you make her cry." Mikey threatened to which Takemichi chuckled.
'Ofcourse, I won't.'
"Are you okay?" she asked ever so gentle "Umm, yeah. I'm totally fine." Takemichi said as he gave her a thumbs up.
Hinata sighed. "Why do boys always get into a fight?" She leaned against the wall. "If only I were a boy too." That's when the background song slightly went off (lol ).
"And it's getting romantic too! But your "Eh?" just have to ruin it." Chifuyu pout.
His partner just sighed at his antics.
The song came back as Hinata grinned "And then...Eiyah!!! I will protect you!" She said as she punch the air. She turned to him "I trained in Karate, so If I were a boy, I'd be really strong." Takemichi look at her as his eyes shone.
"Wait! You're trained in Karate too?!" asked Emma and Yuzuha at same time "You two also?" Hina was shocked as the two nods and others wondering what's with female martial artists now.
Takemichi punched the air. "In that case." He begin "I will also protect you, Hina." he finished.
"Oohhh that's when the nickname started, I see." teased Chifuyu. "We're sorry we're not into romance" Hanma held his tounge out.
"Oh, "we"? Hanma do you have third eye or it's just that you're way too blind?" Kazutora laughed.
Baji sighed. "Stop it, you two." he said successfully stoping the supposedly next war.
Takemichi realized his words and they both blushed. 'I accidentally called herHina.' He thought "Okay!" Hina "Ah, well, I got caught in the moment..." Takemichi gave a sheepish look "I like it that way." Hina smiled.
"Oh good God, why are you so cute!!!" Shouted Yuzuha to which Hinata blushed.
'I wish he is like that too' Emma pouted as she look at a certain boy.
Takemichi grinned, Hinata look at him smiling, "But I'll be the one to protect you, okay?" Hina declared.
"What?"
"Because you're a crybaby, Takemichi-kun" Takemichi's face flushed red.
"If I'm a boy, I'd definitely be stronger than you."
"C'mon,that ain't true!" he argued "I only cried that one time, okay?" he added. Hina laughed
"Was it?"
"Forget it!"
"No, I won't!"
Takemichi's grinning face and Hina's smiling face were shown and their laugh was heard.
"Bye bye! See you tomorrow." Hina waved him goodbye. "Yeah." he grinned.
"That was a cute one!" Chifuyu giggled "Oh, sheesh shut it, will ya?! no one likes your stupid love story!" said Sanzu
"And you're here watching everyone squeaked" countered Chifuyu. "STOP it you two" Baji groaned.
He had had enough of Kazutora and Hanma having to fight all the time, and now what?! Chifuyu and Sanzu will be his next headache! Great.
Hinata's voice can be heard from the back as she greeted someone (probably Naoto). Takemichi look back.
The scene changed.
Takemichi was now outside of apartment, he look back up oy ro see Hina up there as she smiled and waved at him.
The scene changed once again.
'In 12 years in the future... I'm not dating Hina anymore, and I haven't seen her in years. I have no obligation in saving Hina.'
A flashback of Hinata shows up "I'll peotect you!" She had said.
'But...she...' Takemichi cried once again "She shouldn't die!"
Everyone flinched at this. He was definitely right. They dunno how Toman turned this way, but they will stop it no matter what.
Next morning.
"Oh sheesh, I hate school time!"
"You're not the only one, Partner"
Others deadpanned at them while the two pitied themselves making Kazutora chuckled.
Takuya calls him and run up on him
"Takuya?"
"Why did you lose to a guy like him? That just ain't like you."
"Eh? Ah, the yesterday's fight? Sorry." Takemichi said as their friends call them. Akkun opened the bathroom door and nod his head. "Come here."
"Where'd you get that bruise?" asked Draken "I don't know. Maybe from Kiyomasa? either way I have a very bad feeling about this" Akkun said.
'If this goes on Takemitchy and his friends are-'
Yamagishi takes a Mid-convo pee as Akkun said "They said they will be doing the underground fight again today." Everyone looks worried.
"That's bad news, right?" Said Mucho and Sanzu nods "Obviously." muttered Mitsuya not so quietly, Draken gave them a warily glance.
"Why's he taking a mid-pee though?" Emma grossed. Yamagishi just shrugged.
"They've been doing it nearly everyday." Makoto said "He said the fighter today is Takuya." Everyone looks worried and shock.
"Takuya, please don't fight"
"Oi! believe in me will ya?!"
'Yamamoto Takuya. His body is weak.'
A flashback of Takuya beaten up was shown as Takemichi continue narrating 'If I remembered correctly, he nearly died that day.'
Everyone flinched.
Including Mikey,Draken and Baji.
"Takuya can't do it!"
"He's not good at fighting!"
"Say that to Kiyomasa!"
The two went silent.
"Thanks for moral support"
"Sorry Takuya"
"How weak are you?!" That's Baji. Who got ignored once again.
"Can you do it?" Makoto asked "If I could take his place, I would." came the answer.
"Akkun..."
'He tried to cover up for Takuya...' Takemichi narrated
"They won't listen to what others say."
"Akkun..."
"Thank you, Akkun" said Takuya
"I couldn't do anything." he answered
"Takemichi."
"Eh?"
"Watch me." he bump his fist into Takemichi's chest. "I will avenge you. Treat me some gyudon if I win." He smiled
"Look, he's the one who need support right? But why is he the one NOT whining?" Yuzuha look at the ashamed boys.
"Takuya..." Makoto cursed "Anyway, keep your spirit up, okay?" "Yeah I know" "Do your best Takuya-" "Wash your hands first Yamagishi" Yamagishi sheepishly laughed.
Everyone laughed and Yamagishi wanted to be eaten whole by darkness.
"That was close. I nearly touched you like that." he said.
Takemichi look at his friends.
'I thought they were lame. But they're actually pretty cool. So I had such great friends like them back in middle school.' He narrated.
"Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
"Don't be too tense or you will fart yourself."
"That's just you."
"Takemichi, Hurry up!"
"Ah, yeah."
"You guys were such good friends." Draken smiled.
'I knew thefeeling of having great good friends.'
'I long have forgotten the feeling. I have been numb. I AM still numb, when it comes to lovely feelings. I wonder, If I didn't leave Toman, can we be like them? can I finally find my happiness?'
The scene changed.
"Greetings to all gentlemen who have gathered here!" Red begins "The competitors today are just as it said in the email!"
"They even have email!" Someone laughed
"We have Kojima from Sakura Mid!"
"Yeah~"
"Don't "yeah" us, you dumbass!"
"Don't you get carried away, baldy!"
"If you lose I'll make you go home in your underwear!"
"Gross!" the girls chorused as they looked at screen in disgust.
"And Yamamoto from Mizo Mid!"
"Die, you long haired bastard!"
"Don't piss your pants you shit!"
"The odds are 4 to 6 slightly in Kojima's favor."
"Give it your all, Yamada!"
"It's Yamamoto."
"I bet 500 yen on ya!"
"If ya lose, I'll be bankrupt! Don't ya dare to lose! dumbass!"
Takemichi look in concern.
Takuya clenched his fist and raised it up. Meanwhile his friends look at him worriedly.
"Nice try. But you failed motivating them." Mitsuya shake his head.
Takuya raised his fist. "Alright, come on. I'll chop youinto three pieces." Kojima challenged.
"Begin" Kiyomasa said as everyone cheers. suddenly Takemichi's voice were heard.
"WAIT--"
"Here's our hero goes!!!" cheered Majority of them. Mizo Mid sighed in relief as Takemichi blushed.
Everyone look at him. Even Kiyomasa. Takuya gasped as his eyes widened. "T-Takemichi?!" he shouts
"The heck are you doing?!"
"Who's this guy?"
"2nd year should just shut the hell up!"
"Huh? 2nd year?"
Takemichi sighed before confidently walking towards Kiyomasa.
Everyone grew neevous and others in excitement. The others who doesn't know this leaned on more.
