The screen lit up and everyone paid attention.
A dirty looking kitchen is shiwn as a voice speak. "Entering July this year, the temperature on Mainland China is reportedly high." The voice said.
"So damn dirty." Mitsuya commented.
Again more part of the kitchen/house was shown looking dirty as the voice from before speak again "The warm air is expected to flow to Japan due to the current pressure pattern,-"
"Okay "dirty" is an understatement, even I iscleaner than whoever own this house." Announced Baji to which majority of Toman nods.
"-resulting in a higher average temperature compared to previous years." The voice continue and the screen shows a plastic bag looking both like trashbags or grocery bags.
"Will they stop showing the house?!" Emma complained.
Then it shows the clothes, beside it was a calendar to which the date is 7/2017 (July/2017).
"Wait! This is from future?!" Mitsuya asked "Yeah." Faye simply answered "Now before any of you ask more, your questions will be answered if you keep watching." Faye continued. She clicks play and video resume.
"Sunny days will continue in Kanto-Koshinetsu and Tokai region, showing bright summer sky." The voice continued to said. It was then that a boy eith a black messy hair shows eating chips. "The inland area is expected to experience a sudden increase in temperature-"
"Who is he?" asked Mikey 'He seems familiar to me.' He thought, unknown to him others are thinking the same thing. Faye didn't answer and pressed play instead.
"So be wary of sudden heavy rain near the mountains." The voice continue as the screen shows a dirty table. The TV shows a man/reporter telling the news with a picture beside him. "Moving to the next news. Innocent civilians have fallen victim to the growing despute between the Tokyo Manji Gang." The man announced.
"Despute?! In Toman?!" Asked Draken surprised, everyone are just eaually as surprised as Draken is, except for Takemichi as he eyed Hanma warily who seem to be suddenly interested. 'He won't tell Kisaki, right?' Takemichi thought to himself.
"No way? seriously? That's scary." The man/owner of the house said. "Six were injured in the dispute -"
"What now?! This is a fucking lie! We,Toman can't do such thing!" Baji shout while Chifuyu tried to calm him down and Kazutora looking at both of them 'Wonder if they knew.' He thought. "Baji-kun please seat back down, your questions will be answer, so please do not worry." Faye calmly said as she pressed play. Baji sat back down and watch.
"-with one person in cardiopulmonary arrest has been taken to the hospital." The man announced. The boy was shown eating as the reporter continue reporting.
"It doesn't seems like he is bothered though" Hanma deadpanned.
"At the place of incident, 25 year old Naota Tachibana who lives in Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo is confirmed dead-"
"What?!" Everyobe's shocked. While in a seat with Faye, they try to comfort Hina 'Naoto...'
"Tachibana...Naoto?" The man repeat like it sounds familiar to him. "Along with Tachibana's older sister who also lives in Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo, -"
Emma gasped and everyone in Toman look shock knowing that the reporter was talking about Takemitchy's girlfriend as Mikey look at Takemichi worriedly.
"26 year old Tachibana Hinata." The reporter continue to speak as the man raise his TV's volume.
Everyone flinched.
The guy look at the TV, his eyes widening in surprise. However the reporter continue to speak. "The TMPD state they will be more vigilant on the matter."
"Tachibana...Hinata?" The man asked curiously, shock written all over his face and his voice weavered a little.
Everyone look at the future guy confused. 'Did he know them?' Draken asked in hia mind. However Hanma and Chifuyu knew ver well that it's not the case.
Well Chifuyu knew about the time travel thing.
The screen shows the title 'Tokyo Revengers'
"Tokyo "Revengers"? Not "Manji Gang"?" asked Baji and everyone shrugged.
We get our collars grabbed and took an intense punch
After we got beaten up
Together we crouched
The anticipated rain came
"I kinda like the song" Emma commented "It's kinda sad though" Yuzuha said.
Toman watch trying to find spoilers about what was going to happen.
"This should clean your bruise" you lied with a smile
Even though you're bad at argument
So stop making such lame jokes
It's so bad I teared up
Everyone look with a smile as others started showing on screen meaning they have a big role to play in the future guy's life.
And to their surprise even Takemichi and Chifuyu.
Getting bruises all the time
I cry, cry, and cry
Leaning our unstable heart together
We fight against the rotten Bad end
"There's too much event I can't caught up" Hakkai groaned. All they know is Hanma and Kisaki and Takemichi will play a bigger role than them.
I wonder why
The pleasant pain was more vivid, even more than the happiness
Clicking our tounge over our wet clothes
We look at each other's face and laugh
"Is that me and Naoto?!" Hinata asked surprised. "He'll play a better role in the "Future guy's" life" Faye said to which Chifuyu and Takemichi chuckled.
The revenge we swore in that rainy night
"Hey Ken-chin! I guess we will be playing great role too!" Mikey smiled, Draken sighed.
"But why does it keep showing Takemichi and Future guy like they are sane person?" asked Baji "Same question." Draken said.
Letters shows up: #1: Reborn
"Looks like we are at episode one, huh?" Angry said.
"It seems like the only girlfriend I haf in my life back during middle school-" The "Future Guy" announced.
"G-Girlfriend?! Is that mean you and Takemichi-kun-..." Emma trailed off "I don't know." Hinata sadly answered 'Perhaps...Future Guy and Takemichi are...' Kazutora thought looking at Takemitchy warily.
"-Tachibana Hinata, has died." The guy continued narrating.
The scene moves in another scene to where a hand is knocking loudly to someone's door. It is soon shown that the hand velongs to a woman/landlady "Come on, I know you're in there!" The landlady shouts, the guy from before opened the door "Yes?" he asked
The woman pointed at him as she says "How many times do I have to tell you? Your TV is damn loud!" She scolded. The boy looks sheepish as he said "I'm sorry." "Sheesh, kids nowadays." The woman walked out and the boy went back inside his apartment.
"Geez! Won't you learn how to accept an apology?!" Chifuyu shout, to where his partner patted his back, Kazutora sighed and others wonder what really tick Chifuyu off.
The scene changed. "How many times are you going to make me say the same thing, Hanagaki Takemichi-kun~?" A younger woman/lady/owner of store asked.
"Wait! That guy is Takemitchy?!" Mikey shouted surprised "Yes." Faye answered, everyone look at Takemichi worriedly (except for Hanma and Sanzu) "D-don't worry we can stop whatever happens in the future now, right?" He asked. Everyone look back at screenas Faye thought 'Sorry Mitchy, but your secret is about to be exposed' She then sighed and pressed play.
"When a DVD gets returned put it back on display immediately." She scolded. "How many times have I said this?" She questioned while glaring at "Takemichi" "I'm sorr-" Takemichi was cut off "Yes. All you do is apologize."
"Geez. If I were you, I could've sent her to hospital as soon as I can." Baji complained "If I hear one more apologize from Future you, I could've punch something." Smiley laugh.
Takemichi and Chifuyu sweat dropped.
The scene changed, Takemichi sighed as he keeps walking. Laughters were suddenly heard. "That's really lame!" A boy laugh. Three boys are shown, two standing besides their friend who was seating on a car. They look at Takemichi "Hey, Old fart!"
"Uh-Oh!" Mikey whistled. Draken facepalmed 'Please don't tell me he can't fight kids' He thought. "Jerks." Chifuyu sighed.
"Eh?" Takemichi stop. "You got a problem?" A boy ask "Eh? No, sorry" he answered. The boys hopped on their feet,circle around Takemichi as the other get a coin and scrapped the car, before they laugh and run "Idiot!" "Run! Run!"
All Toman sighed, Smiley punch the chair, which surprisingly didn't break at all.
A man then came in and shout at Takemichi "Hey! What are you doing?!" Takemichi runs as fast as he could.
The scene changed into train station "I didn't expect my life would end up like this." Takemichi narrated "I live in a beat-up appartment within thin walls. My manager who's younger than me treats me like an idiot. Even kids made fun of me, and I had to apologize for them. I've only ever got one girlfriend in life,and that was back in middle school. Not to mention I'm still a virgin." Takemichi narrated looking down at his feet.
"Ummm is being a virgin really that of a problem?" Angry asked "And sorry to say, but looks like future you sucks a lot Takemitchy." Hakkai added "Y-You can say that" Takemichi laugh earning some suspicious look, while Chifuyu sighed and facepalmed, Kazutora and Baji look in Chifuyu, one confused while the other amused.
"Just where did I go wrong?" Takemichi's back was then shown as a hand slowly reaches for his head and then pushed him. Takemichi falls into the train rail. "Eh?" was all he could mutter.
"Takemitchy/Takemichi/-kun!" Everyone shouts in surprise, "Damn! what's wrong with you three dying as early as possible?!" Kazutora shouts. Sanzu grinned. Hanma smirked.
Mikey look at Takemitchy worriedly, Draken narrowed his eyes as the episode resumes.
The train was moving fast and towards Takemichi's direction as he slowly stands up. 'No way...' He thought 'At that moment when I thought I'm about to die...I didn't think of any of my family or friends. I thought of Tachibana Hinata.' A girl in her uniform with short Auburn hair was shown.
"Huh! Simp!" Baji shout and Mitsuya throws a paper ball at him, which no one knew where'd he get it. Hakkai snickered. And Baji glared.
The screen faded to white, then the school was shown. There are three girls. "I heard Tachibana-san from Class 2 likes you, Hanagaki" One of them teased "Cool!" The other two giggled. Yamagishi then was shown with two others as he said "Seriously, why it's you?"
Yamagishi blushed.
"What you gonna do? I saw some boys checking up on her yesterday." A girl said "Who, you ask? It's Tachibana! She's really popular you know?!" Another girl said.
Emma and Yuzuha smirked towards Hinata, while the said girl just blushed. 'I'm not even that popular' She thought to herself.
'Now that I think about it, my middle school life in second grade was may hay day' Takemichi's voice was heard.
'Really? Aren't youapunching bag then?' Majority thought.
'I was the number 2 of a cool second-year delinquent group.' Takemichi narrated.
Everyone look at Mizo Middle Crew and all of them (except Takemichi) blushed.
'The time when I had the only girlfriend I'd ever get. Could this be that? My life flashing before my eyes right now?' Takemichi continued.
"Maybe" Hanma said more to himself, hearing his voice makes Kazutora groaned "What's wrong, Tora?" "Err...Nothing."
Then a flash in his eyes was shown and a 'BADUMP' and Electricity sound was heard.
"W-What was that?!" Others loon at Takemichi surprised "A-A flashback?...I guess." Takemichi answered, others sighed while they were forced to watch back as the episode resumes.
"Shibuya. You've arrived at Shibuya. Watch out for any missing belongings." "Ah, I'm sorry" muttered Takemichi as he stood still, suddenly someone called him "Hey! Takemichi!" someone called him "Takemichi!" He called again. Takemichi look out to see his friends waiting, he managed to catch up to them.
"I don't know why he remembers such unimportant parts?" Yamagishi questioned. Others just shrugged.
"Hurry up." Akkun said looking at him 'Woah, so nostalgic!' Takemichi thought. The screen focused on Makoto as Takemichi continued to narrate 'Makoto who's always playing with his dick!'
Everyone cringe in disgust as Makoto tries to hide himself.
The screen focus on Yamagishi as Takemichi said in his thought 'Dumbass Yamagishi who thinks wearing glasses will make him smart'
Everybody laugh, others spit whatever they're drinking. Others turned to Baji who glared at them in exchanged. Yamagishi blushes.
The screen then focused on Akkun as Takemichi continued 'Our leader, Akkun!'
Everyone looked at him in question, he just blushed.
The screen focused on Takuya 'And my childhood friend, Takuya!'
Takuya chuckles.
"Yamagishi, did you see this week's magazine?" asked
Makoto "I saw it. The pics were hot, right?" Yamagishi said.
"Perverts" Emma groaned, Yuzuha sighed while Hina just chuckles.
"Can't you guys be more serious once a while?" asked Akkun.
"Exactly my thoughts!" shouts Baji and Mitsuya at same time.
"I'm hungry. Wanna grab something?" Takuya asked back.
"I wonder since tou look like Mikey, does it mean you have same appetite?" asked Draken "I can adopt him!" shouts Mikey which earned him a smack in the head from Draken.
"I want some hamburger." Yamagishi said "I got coupons" said Makoto "Enough for everyone?" That's Akkun "Nope!" They continue talking as Takemichi stopped to look at himself in a mirror. "Are you kidding me?" They continued.
"You guys sure loves cheap foods!" laughed Mikey and Emma "H-Hey others doesn't have enough money..." "That's why be my brother you also look like me so-" "I wouldn't mind a little brother or a twin brother" said Emma.
"YOU TWO CAN'T JUST ADOPT PEOPLE LIKE THAT!!!" Shouts Draken.
Takemichi look in a mirror shock to see himself "Eh?" "Open-necked shirts and Baggy pants?" he muttered to hinself not noticing the look he gets from Takuya 'Who is this lame delinquent?!' He thought to himself as he touched hiswhole face in horror.
Everyone laugh while Takemichi shrink in his seat.
'It's me! It's me from middle school!' He shouts in his mind 'So lame! This was supposed to be the peak of my life!'
"Sorry to interrupt but if it just a peak of your life, then you couldn't touch yourself like that or control yourself" Angry said "But yet again, you're dying so...yeah" Hanma added non-chantly.
Everyone (especially Mikey and Draken) glared at him.
'What's in my pocket?' He touched his back finding something to see. Soon ge found a phone and coin 'A 500 yen coin and a cellphone!' He thought "It's a flip-phone! How nostalgic!"
"You sound too old" Baji snickered "S-Sorry" Takemichi replied "Well you can't blame him, phones and technologies and appliences improved too much in the future, you know?" Faye replied to where they all (except Takemichi) let out an amused noise.
Takemichi look at his phone screen which the wallpaper is the Mizo Middle Crew.
"July 4th, 2005?" he asked himself "Erm, if I remember correctly...One... Two...Three..." he muttered to himself, before looking shock.
"IT'S TODAY, 12 YEARS IN THE PAST?!"
"Wha-" others are confused, some (Angry, Kazutora, and Hanma) get a grip of what is happening.
"Hey Takemichi. What are you doing?" Yamagishi asked and he look to see all his friends are looking at him. 'Everything feels so real...' He thought.
"Ken-Chin" "I know Mikey" Draken and Mikey stared at each other.
The scene changed they are now eating at a restaurant "Really, Takemichi? Just Fries?" Makoto asked "And it's the small one!" complained Yamagishi "Well, I need to save for mt train ride back home." Takemichi sheepishly said "C'mon, that will work itself out." Yamagishi said.
"It's hard to be broke." Takemichi muttered, while Chifuyu chuckles to which make Baji and Kazutora confused.
"I'm so glad that your cousin is the leader of Shibuya Third Mid." Akkun said, confusing Takemichi.
Mizo Middle Crew flinced, Takemichi held Chifuyu's arm, with wide-eye looking at the ground, to which didn't went unnoticed to Mikey, Baji, Kazutora, Draken,and Chifuyu who look worriedly at his partner.
"If the 3rd years come out, we can just bring out Masaru-kun's name." Yamagishi added.
The second generation's boss flinched at the mention of his cousin's name.
'My cousin?' he thought while eating a fries. A flashback was shown to where two kids were...playing? (riding?- more like one is teasing, and other is crying?). As he continued to think 'Are they talking about Masaru-kun?'
Mikey and Draken narrowed their eyes on the screen, then look at Takemichi who seemed to be having a heart attack "Don't worry partner, it's in the past, remember?" Chifuyu whispered.
"Hold on a second, what good does it bring by having Masaru-kun with us?" asked Takemichi sheepishly.
"Yeah. Didn't even heard of him." said Baji.
"I don't really understand the situation here." He continued to which confused his friends "W-what?" he recieves look from his friends - a disgusting look. "Are you okay in the head?" "Hey, hey Takemichi!" His friends said at same time looking at him with annoyed and confused looks.He just try to laugh it off.
"Really? Partner?" "What?!" Others just look at the battering partners.
"We're going to start a fight!" Makoto said proudly as he clenched his fist. "Takemichi look at him surprised, suddenly a realization hit him and Masaru shown with his thumbs in upside down way. "Bring it on!" He had said 'Come to think of it, Masaru-kun did say he's the leader at Shibuya Third Mid.' Takemichi thought as the flaschback ended.
'He's not' Mikey thought 'Don't be fool' Draken thought as they look at Takemichi warily.
"It's a war between us Mizo Mid 2nd year and Shibuya Third Mid 2nd year!" Makoto shouts at him throwing his fists in the air. Yamagishi let out an agreeing noise while Takuya just nod. "Eh? So we're on our way to that middle school and start a fight?" Takemichi asked surprised.
Others chuckled "Are you that forgetful?" Smiley laugh out loud he just blush 'Except...' Angry thinking the opposite.
His friends sighed and look at him sheepishly as Yamagishi said "Hey someone, say something." It was Takuya who break the silence "Takemichi, they're looking down on us. We have no choice but to fight." He exolained to his friend who looked sheepish about it.
"Well you can also just avoid him?" Emma asked which left unanswered.
"Looking down on us? Just because of that?" Takemichi asked. "We don't need that pussy act!" Yamagishi declared "You gonna give them the backfist as soon as you see them, like always, right?" he added.
Laughter surrounds the room. Chofuyu let out an annoyed sigh. "What's wrong, Fuyu?" asked Baji "You're acting weird" added Kazutora, he just sighed avoiding their gaze "Nothing." he said looking at his partner warily.
"Backfist?"
"You're full of energy after all." Akkun answered for him. "Our charge commander!" Makoto pat his shoulder. Their friends cheered causing their darinks to spilled. "Hey you spilled that!" They just laugh it out.
"You guys are too loud to be in public." said Mitsuya.
The scene changed they are now walking on the street 'Wait...Wait! wait! Too fast! Too fast! Everything moves too fast! This certainly did happen. I talked with my cousin, Masaru-kun before going to the Middle School in Shibuya.'suddenly shouts interrupted his thoughts. "Hey!" shouts someone which soon revealed to be his friend, Makoto.
"Ugh." Emma groaned 'Idiots.' Thought Kazutora and Hanma.
"Are you guys from Shibuyqa Third Mid?" asked Makoto as four of them approached the two students "Ah..y-yes" one answered "What year are you fools from?" asked Akkun, also approaching them.
"And just when I thought you're the smartest one in group" groaned Mitsuya.
'A fight, huh...A fight? I haven't done any in 10 years!' Takemichi thought as his eyes bulged out and sweats run from his face.
"Here comes the gorilla face~" teased Chifuyu and everyone else laughed.
'Shit...I think I will piss myself' He thought 'W-we're first years, so we don't know anything about the 2nd year." The boy answered. "What? You're just 1st year punks?" "Do you even have hair on your dick yet?" Makoto and Yamagishi questioned them.
"Disgusting." said Yuzuha clearly disgusted.
'Was everyone around me this really gung-ho back then? Crap, I can't keep up with them!' He thought as he (funnily) shakes. The camera change the scene into the park 'C-calm down' This is just a flashback! Nothing big!' He tries to calm hkmself down.
"I don't think it's a flashback anymore...But okay what do I know?" Hakkai said earning a smack from Mitsuya. (again, where the heck did he get those papers?!).
"That's weird." said Takuya "There aren't any second years here." added Makoto "Eveeyone we talked to were 1st and 3rd years. What's going on?" Akkun said thoughtfully. "Gang boycott?" Takuya suggested (But man,what did he knew?). "Or maybe they heard we're coming and got scared?!" Yamagishi laughed from where he is writing...in sand...using stick.
Not weird if you knew him..."Could be!" agreed Makoto as they laughed.
"Really, now?" said Emma. Draken facepalmed. Baji cursed a great FuCkand Mikey groaned they all are getting 2nd hand embrassment from this guys.
Takemichi clenched his fists 'I remember this park...' He thought "Well, those Shibuya delinquents are whipped and trendy "city boys" anyway." Akkun said, standing up as he looked at Takemichi who wears surprised/shocked face. All his friends stood up, Yamagishi perked up from behind calling him.
'Trendy city boys?' as he thought this a flashback of Masaru's face before showing he and his friends getting beat up.
"Nice memories you got there Takemitchy!" Smiley laughed sarcastically.
Takemichi flinced. Chifuyu let out a simple "Damn." to which really confused Kazutora and Baji.
'No!' his eyes widened in realization and sweat runs down from his face as a loud "Oi!!" was heard, Takemichi turned his gaze towards his back only to see a group of 'well-builted body' boys walking towards them.
Takemichi's friends' faces were in shock as one of them spoke "So is it you guys who have been meddling with our second years?"
"Oh god! Here comes the trouble ~" Hanma laughed from behind "You're the only trouble I keep sweing" Whispered Kazutora to which he get a nudge from Baji, silencing him.
Takemichi whipped his head around slowly 'These guys are the 3rd years!' One of them lit up his cigarette as he said "The 2nd years are on a "school trip"." His other companions showed 'The rabble-rousing 3rd years!'
"Rabble-rousing?" asked Baji as he tsked.
'A full-fledged delinquents!' Finally Kiyomasa and his groups are now fully shown. "Anyway,we will beat you all to a pulp one by one. Line up." The other ordered pointing his fingers to them, then to the ground.
"That wasn't suppose to be announced...That was suppose to be a surprise" said Sanzu which earned a smirk from Mucho who earned a glare from Mitsuya.
They stood frightened, it was Yamagishi who have the guts to continue talking "You guys are the 3rd years right? We already talked our way through with 3rd year leader, "Masaru-kun"." He said though his face shows otherwise.
"You need to be prepared for such consequences like this y'know?" said Mikey looking at the four, before looking at Takemichi worriedly, before looking at Mitsuya warily.
'He's definitely mad, damn mucho, what did you do?'
Kiyomasa's eyebrow twitched "Masaru?" Then Red laughed "Hey, Masaru!"
"You don't have to yell that loud, I can hear you" Masaru shows himself "Go buy juice for every one of us here, Masaru!" He ordered "Umm the money?" "My "fist" worth 100 yen a pop, you know?" He said as he count how many person there were. "I'll play for it!"
"Damn he's just a gofer!" Shouts Baji 'Figures' Mikey thought as he glared on the screen.
His friends worriedly look at Takemichi "Hey, Takemichi!" Makoto muttered. 'That's right. Masaru-kun was a gofer. He was just showing off to me, his younger cousin.' Takemichi sweats even more.
"Which is baddest thing he did" said Mitsuya.
'I remember what will happen after this. We were terrified and have lost our last ray of hope.' As Masaru buy drinks, Mizo Middle getting some 'beat up'.
"Damn, that must've hurt for you." said Draken as he groaned clearly worried about the boy that is having a flashback, who looks at screen blankly.
"Nee Ken-Chin~" "I know Mikey, you don't need to tell me." He said looking at his commander.
"Hey! Wake up you punks!" They laughed. 'and they beat the shit out of us' "We're very sorry!" shouts Akkun and Takemichi bowing and kneeling on them.
"Lame punks with no guts like you have no right to call yourself a delinquent." said Kiyomasa "From now on, you shits are soldiers of Tokyo Manji Gang. So work your asses off!" Announced Red.
"Who the fuck died and made them king?!" Shouts Baji "They can't use our name like that. I'll beat 'em up next time I see them" Mikey calmly stated 'In the future you won't treat me so precious like that anymore...too bad' thought Takemichi.
Takemichi's face was filled with blood and his eyes filled with tears 'That hurts.'He thought, Yamagishi cried, Makoto lay on ground, Takuya was facing ground unable to look at them in the face, Akkun stabds up asked if everyone's okay.
'Tokyo Manji Gang. That's right. It's all started from here' They were shown working hard just to pleased Kiyomasa and his ego. 'The hellish days they used us like their slaves. Each and every one of us. That's why I ran away from my hometown right after I graduated from Middle School. I started living by myself and did part-time jobs. But I couldn't do anything right.'
"I'm sorry!" he said as he bow to another waiter.
"Wait! none of that happened. Mikey-kun and Draken-kun managed to stop them right?" Hinata asked shock, Takemichi laughed sheepishly.
Faye quickly pressed play and the video resumes.
'I apologized.' "I'm so sorry!" Takemichi bowed to a costumer.
'And apologized' Takemichi bow his head.
'And apologized' Takemichi bow his head once more.
'I spent the rest of my life apologizing.' Takemichi knock his head to the ground as he clenched his fists. "Dammit! This is the worst!" he cursed 'The worst flashback to get at the end of my life!' He finished in his mind.
He whipped his head upwards and towards the sky as he look at the clouds and shout "I got it, God! You're trying to say that my life totally sucked, right?!" He shout as tears gathered in his eyes.
"Damn." Baji cursed 'poor Takemitchy.'
Mikey thougth. 'Should I adipt him and teach him myself some life lessons?' thought Draken.
It is then that a girl with a mole under her lips showed up as she said "You will surely succeed, hanagaki-kun!"
Hinata smiled. Glad that Takemichi still remember her words after 12 years.
Then Takemichi had the flashback of report 'Tachibana...Tokyo Manji Gang... That's right...Tachibana died because of those guys 12 years in the future!' He thought.
Everyone flinched at the reminder.
'Even if I know that now, it has nothing to do with me.' An image of a girl suddenly shows for a split seconds "Eh? Tachibana." They were now at the street "O-ouch." "Are you okay, Takuya?" "Don't you dare telling anyone I cried." "Dammit!" "I'm hungry!" "I wanna eat some Katsudon." "My mouth is all swollen, I can't eat anything." Takemichi suddenky stops walking and look at the ground.
"Are you sure you guys are all right?" asked Mikey. "Hey, Mitsuya, you're awfullly quiet!" Noticed Draken, to their surprise, Mitsuya just shrugged not really wanted to talk.
"Takemichi? What's wrong Takemichi?" asked his friends "Sorry, I gotta go" he answered before running off "Eh? Go where?!" but his friend's words were fell into deaf ears as he run off somewhere else.
Everyone stared at Takemichi worriedly.
His friends just look at him, while he kept running towards somewhere 'Tachibana... How did she look again?' Takemichi stopped running as he tries to catch his breath, "It's here." he kept repeating her last name trying to find his apartment number.
"Found it!" Takemichi went infront of his girlfriend's apartment and click the doorbell not expecting for someone who would actually answer.
"Uhhh...how do you remember where she lives but not her face?" Yuzuha asked "To be fair, face can easily be forgotten by anyone, but place is quite hard to forget" defensed Mitsuya. "Fair Point" said Yuzuha.
Suddenly a voice came "Yes? Eh? Hanagaki-kun?" "Ah...yeah..." 'I remember this voice' The door infront of him opened up "Hanagaki-kun?" The Time-Traveler's eyes widened in shock "Did you get into a fight agai ? You shouldn't go fighting all the time, you know? You just fought like last week over small stuff!" A girl with mole under her lips and beautiful auburn eyes said.
It was Hinata "Are you okay?" she continued "That looks painful. Have you disinfect it already? You're swollen all over the places. Should I bring you some band-aid?" She continue as Takemichi muttered her name like he actually see a ghost, well to put it fairly. HE IS A TIME-LEAPER.
"What a caring girlfriend" teased Chifuyu as he nudge him "Can we stop watching romance?" groaned Sanzu, while Chifuyu stuck out his tounge at him.
Tears slipped out from his eyes down to his face before hitting the ground "Huh? Why am I crying?" he asked more to himself.
'Typical Takemitchy' 'I hope it ended up like this in the future, huh partner?' And you can guess who's thoughts were those.
He grasped his face as to attempt to stop tears from falling "Sorry it's nothing. I'm going home now." But it seems like Hinata have another idea "Hanagaki-kun!"
"Well. I just wanted to see your face, that's all."
Hinata won't buy it "No way. Did something happen?"
"I'm glad you didn't buy it Hina-Chan. If you did, I don't know what my IDIOT of a partner will do." Chifuyu said as he look up and down as if to scan Takemitchy.
"You're acting different than usual."
'That maybe because he is NOT your Takemitchy~' Mikey thought to himself.
Hinata walked to him and cuffed his face with her hands "Eh?"
"Tell me. I want to know everything about you. I'm your girlfriend you know? Dummy."
"Sorry."
'That's right. She always yelled at me. She was tiny and strong-willed.'
"Bye-Bye! See you at school tomorrow!"
Everyone laugh at the face he was making. "What the hell was that face?!" laughed Akkun.
'I loved the cheerful way she says 'Bye-Bye'. And yet I've already forgotten about that.' He cursed out loud.
Later on, he sats at swing suddenly voices were heard.
"THAT'S NOT EVERYTHING, IS IT?!"
"DON'T YOU LIE TO US!"
It annoys Takemichi.
Takemichi flinched. 'This scene. Please dear chair swallow me whole'
"JUMP UP AND DOWN!" Three boys surrounded a kid, as the kid jumped up and down.
"Naoto?!" Hina was shock and so was others, "This is your brother?!" Emma asked which Hina just nods.
"See, you still got somethin'."
"So goddamn noisy. Can't they see someone here's basking in sentimentality?" He is annoyed.
"Oh, you're annoyed~" teased Mikey
"What you gonna do then,huh?" Draken smirked
"You can't even hold a punch!" Baji laughed
'Please don't let them see that.' He flushed.
"Take it out already!"
"Stop dilly-dallying!"
"OI!!!" was heard fron the background they look behind.
"Shut the hell up you dimwits!" He punched the guy knocking him out cold.
"So all we need to do is annoy you?" Baji teased to which Mikey and Draken laugh and others wish not to annoy Takemitchy.
His voice grew dark than they usually are "All you ever do is bitching around like some broken toy!" He smashed the bottle scaring the living daylight on others.
"Takemitchy do you have personality disorders?" "I don't"
He continued as he pointed the smashed bottle towards the two guys.
His voice continue to grow darker as he said "I'm super pissed right now."
Mikey and Draken flinched Chifuyu smiled proudly. Baji whistled. Kazutora expected this.
His voice grew murderously dangerous "Get lost. Or I'll kill you." The boys ran away saying sorry and begging him to excuse them.
"Woah shit!!! All it takes is to annoy you!" Baji laughed "Now~ Takemitchy what was that we had witnessed?" teased Mikey "Grow some balls now eh?" Draken smiled at him. He flushed from too much attention as everyone clap their hand and praise him. Damn! Baji even wrote down his words.
He threw the bottle, Which Naoto noticed and pointed at it quickly "U-um. You shouldn't leave sharp stuff on the ground like that." "Ah. Sorry."
"You apologized again?" Smiley asked laughing.
The kid thank him. He sigh and turned back to the kid. "Listen up. When you cross people like them, you need to have some guts. Be prepare to get punched. But don't flinch." The kid took out a pen and notebook.
"You don't have to write it down. Anyway, face them head-on. Half-assed guys will definitely be scared by that." "Okay!" The boy chimed back.
"You need to tell that to yourself as well Takemitchy~" said Mikey.
'Guts and preparedness. It's all stuff I don't have in my own life, too.' He thought.
"Well. What's your name?" he asked "Tachibana...Tachibana Naoto." the kid said. "Eh? Could you be Tachibana's younger brother?" "I do have an older sister" "Really? You should've just said that earlier!" "Are you one of my sister's friends?"
Naoto joined him in his mental-swing-therapy. It dawned on him 'Tachibana Naoto. That's right. This guy will die in the next 12 years, too.' He thought.
Everyone flinched at the reminder.
"I'm Hanagaki Takemichi. You can call me Takemichi." he introduced "Ah, okay. I won't call you that though." Naoto retort.
"Do you like your sister?"
"Eh? Why all of the sudden? I don't like her!"
"Really? Why?"
"'Why'? you ask? She's always so noisy, telling me what I should do all the time."
"I see. But you should take care of your sister. I loved your sister. I loved her so much I just couldn't help it. And I remembered that today." Naoto looked at him confused.
"I love you, too, Takemichi-kun!" Hina shouts to which the said boy just flushed as response.
"Heh...I bet you don't get what I'm saying. This might sounds crazy, but..."
"Today, in 2017, I fell of the station platform onto the tracks. I thought I was dead but when I realized , I was a middle schooler. I'm back to when I was 12 years ago. What do you call this?" he turned to the kid who gladly answered him "A TIME LEAP?!" he offered. "Yes, that!" Takemichi agreed.
Everyone look at Takemichi in awe and shock "Did you tell him about that too partner?" Chifuyu calmly asked "I might have" his words earned a smack from Chifuyu, "BAKA! you don't just tell a kid that his sister will gonna die and that him too!" "Sorry"
"Wait if he really is a Time leaper-" Sanzu was cut off "Why are you so calm about this Fuyu?" asked Baji "H mm? Oh he told me this in future so yeah I knew from the start."
Others take that answer.
"I might be just seeing a really long dream. But... I'm sure God is letting me meet Tachibana one last time." Naoto look at him in awe and confusion "Eh? What do you mean?"
"On July 1st, 12 years from now on, your sister...will die. And you will die with her at the same time." Naoto's eyes widened in horror.
"Oh, dear god! use common sense Partner!" he smacked him "NOW THAT JUST HURT PARTNER!" Takemichi shouts back "They're so close~" said Kazutora and a certain blonde haired guy whispered how he MET TAKEMICHI FIRST.
"July 1st 2017. Remember that date, Naoto. And protect your sister."
He changed his facial expression after saying those words. "Just kidding. I'm sure it's hard for you to believe this."
'If all of this is real,I want to change the future. I've fallen so far that I forgot about her until the day of her death. I feel helpless and frustrated. I want to redo everything.'
"I'm counting on you." he offered his hand the kid nod and shook his hand "I understand."
BADUMP ELECTRICITY.
"So that's how you time travel!" Yamagishi shout "Yeah." he smiled.
Takemichi stands up from his bed "His finally awake!" "Um. Where am I?" "The station medical office. You fell of the station platform onto the tracks." the policeman said. He look at the date which to be- "JULY 4TH 2017?!" he shouted 'So I was just dreaming?' He thought as the flashback of him getting push into the platform is shown.
"I was saved from that situation? I didn't even have a single scratch!"
"May I speak with him alone for a moment?" A man asked "Yes. He's the one whosaved you." The policeman introduced "Long time no see." He walked beside Takemichi.
"He looks familiar" Hina said and everyone agreed.
"Who are you?" "I'm Tachibana Naoto."
"EH?! SO THAT WAS REAL?!" A majority shout. "Damn. It's only the beginning abd you've already saved a life." cursed Baji.
"You changed my fate that day." "Eh? That day? But shouldn't you be dead?" "You just leaped through time!"
His announcement earned more questions to viewers and a grim look from Takemichi and Chifuyu.
"You saved me and I was able to save you, Takemichi-kun. By leaping through time you changed the present!" he declared as he seats beside him.
"Takemichi-kun, today, 12 years ago, you said this to me.
A flashback was shown with Takemichi saying "Remember that date Naoto, and protect your sister." The flashback ends.
"I studied my hardest and became a police detective. To protect my sister."
"Detective?! But I thought he hates being police detective?!" shouts Hina "He did that for you, Hina-Chan." that statement silence her.
"T-then, what about Tachibana?" Naoto looked down a grim look on his face. "I'm sorry Takemichi-kun. My sister died. I did everything I could think of! And yet. And yet." he trailed off as he whipped his head towards Takemichi.
"Please help me out. I'm sure you can save my sister!" He declared "I can...save Tachibana?" The screen fades to black.
