Secret Reveals Chapter 29:

Episode 24: A Cry baby

The screen lit up to another episode.

(2005, November 15th)

Mikey stood infront of then behind him were Chifuyu and Hanma.

"What's going on?"

"Hey, hey! Why is that guy here?"

"What is that bastard from Valhalla doing in Toman's gathering?"

'Chifuyu and Hanma? What's going on, Mikey-kun?'

As if hearing his thought Mikey spoke

"The Bloody Halloween. Valhalla's 300 versus Toman's 150. Despite an overwhelming disadvantage, each one of you held your own and secured us victory. Hanma Shuji, the Vice-President of the gang we defeated has a message for us."

Hanma stepped forward.

"I'm Hanma Shuji from Valhalla. Valhalla never had a leader. So, in the wake of our defeat, we decided to join under Toman's banner."

"Huh?"

"What is he saying?"

Hanma spoke once again "Valhalla will now join as part of Toman!"

"Eh?"

"E-Eh? 300 guys fron Valhalla are joining our gang?"

"So that means Toman has 450 guys now?"

"Toman rules!"

"Just how much bigger are we gonna get?"

"I'm all fired up!"

"Toman rules!"

They all chant "Toman! Toman!" again and again.

"That's bad...If Hanma and Kisaki were there...They can rule or take a hold of Toman" Ryusie said as everyone gritted their teeth.

Takemichi look around 'Hold on a sec...Even though...Even though Mikey-kun made it through without killing Kazutora-kun...If this guy join Toman...If Valhalla becomes a part of Toman...Then things will get worse!'

"As for this. There's someone who helped us connect. Thanks to him our gangs are able to join forces." Hanma begins

Takemichi's eyes went wide

'Could it be...?!'

"Please, step forward!"

Takemichi look and his eyes widened when he saw Kisaki.

"Kisaki Tetta!"

"Kisaki ofc!" Baji slammed his fist against the chair.

'Kisaki!'

A flashback was shown

"Kisaki's our enemy." Baji had told him before the flashback ends.

Takemichi gripped his shirt tight and tried to catch his breath.

"You had a panic attack?" Draken look at him in shock, he sighed "Yeah. But only for a minute" He shrugged

Everyone cheers as Kisaki step up front beside Hanma and Mikey.

Takemichi's eyes went wider and his face paled 'He will take over!'

The opening has been skipped

#24: A Cry baby

Hanma and Mikey shook hands and Kisaki put his hand above both of their hands.

Takemichi stares in horror.

'Even though Baji-kun gave his life to protect Toman...Kisaki is taking over Toman! Now Toman gonna turn into an evil organization in the future! I failed again...'

Mikey took him out of his thoughts.

"There's one more thing to discuss. Though we gained something from Bloody Halloween...There's also something we lost. Our 1st Squad Captain. Baji Keisuke, died that day. We must reflect deeply on this reality and take it seriously. You should say the rest. 1st Squad Vice-Captain, Matsuno Chifuyu."

He walked passed by Chifuyu who stands in fron all of them hands in his back.

'Chifuyu...'

Everyone look at the said boy.

"You'll find out soon enough" he sighed and everyone went back to watching eager to know what will happen.

"I was planning to quit Toman. But our President stopped me with his words. "Will you snuff out the 1st Squad's Flame?" "

Takemichi stares at him 'Sorry, it was you who suffered the most from this.'

'Fuyu, I'm sorry.'

"Leading the 1st Squad as Baji-san's replacement is too much for me. So I talked it out with our President. For Days and Days. And arrived at this conclusion. I'll decide the guy that I wanna follow! Hanagaki Takemichi! I want you to be the next captain of the 1st Squad!"

Takemichi's eyes went wide.

"EH?!" Most of then shout since it surprise them. Others smile or frown (Sanzu) upon seeing this scene again.

"You got one advantage. Even though Kisaki and Hanma were in Toman. You had became 1st Division Captain, which means you were still above them." Senju said earning her nods.

"Hanagaki?"

"No way, did he say Hanagaki?"

"That Hanagaki?!"

"What...are you saying?" Takemichi muttered

"Takemitchy! I believe this is what Baji-san would've wanted. Our President and I have decided that Baji-san entrusted this to you!"

'Idiot. I entrusted Toman to him. But I wanted you to take my position. Oh well I ain't gonna die now anyways.'

Everyone look at Takemichi who shakes from where he stood up.

"Hanagaki Takemichi! Raise your head and give us your response!"

Few flashback had shows up

"I'm sure you can save my sister!" Naoto told him.

"Please save everyone." The first future Akkun said

"Our crybaby hero..." The last future Akkun said.

The flashback ends.

'There is still...'

Then another flashback

"I'll become the top member of Toman!" Future Takemichi had promised

"I'm leaving them in your hand." Baji had told him.

The flashback ends again

But then Hina's death was shown.

"Please. I don't want the person I love to die, too." Hina had told him before her death.

The screen fades back to reality.

'It's not over yet! I can still change Toman!'

He cries and raised his head bit too high.

"IT IS MY PLEASURE TO WORK WITH YOU!"

Mitsuya grinned and Draken chuckles. Few members are grinning.

"There he goes crying again. Get yourself together."

"Man, seems like I'll have to rework his uniform again."

Mikey smiles and so did Chifuyu.

"You raised your head too much, idiot." Mikey smirk

Takemichi cries and everyone stares at him.

The scene changes.

'The situation is getting worse. But there is still hope! Isn't that right, Naoto? There must be something we still can do!'

Takemichi and past Naoto shook hands as Hina stares at them confused. He then traveks back to future.

The scene changes to Rental Shop.

(2017, November 18th - Saturday)

'It's 2017. I'm back...To the rental shop. And the manager. Nothing has changed.'

"Back to the future we go!" Smiley cheered

The manager then bows and smiles to him

"I apologize for keeping you waiting."

"Eh?"

"The video you're looking for doesn't appear to be in stock at this store."

'Huh? Hmm? What's with this watch? And expensive-looking bag...'

He turned to a mirror and sees himself, his hair wasn't messy anymore and he wears all expensive things.

'What's with my hair?'

"Sir?"

"Eh? A-Ah, then it's okay."

"Thank you very much."

He then walks out of shop. A voice called to him.

"WTH happened to my mitchy?!"

"He ain't yours Mikey."

"Shut up, Ken-chin"

"You little shi-"

"You're late, Takemichi. You sure love this rental store, huh."

A guy with long brown hair an eye glass, scar on his eyebrow, tattoo on his chest, was shown.

'Who?'

"Let's go."

"So scary..."

"Get on the car already."

"Eh?"

The scene changes to inside the car.

'I got in just as he told me...'

"Umm, where are we going right now?"

"Huh? The hell do you mean? We're goin' to your place."

"My place? Erm, but we just passed my apartment --"

"You're the one who ordered it. Right, Koji?"

"Yes, sir!" The driver known as Koji answers.

'I ordered? What are these guys talking about?'

"Is it okay if I smoke?" Koji asked

But the guy with long brown hair kick the driver seat way too harsh making Takemichi gasped in shock.

"Didn't I already tell you not to?"

'I'm giving orders to these scary-looking dudes? This makes no sense! Ah, that's right! I must call Naoto! Eh? I don't have his number?'

"Woah woah there, Hanagaki is a boss now?" Koko shouts

Chifuyu however look at Takemichi "Partner. Is this the timeline you tell me before."

"Yep."

That earns them confused looks.

They were pulled to a stop, the guy called to him. "Hey, Takemichi. What are you on about? We're here."

"A-Ah, yeah."

'What now? I can't get in contact with Naoto at this rate!'

He then gets out of his car to be greeted by members.

"Good afternoon, sir!" They said together bowing making Takemichi shouts in surprise jumping and shrieking back away from them.

"EH?!"

'W-What?'

Everyone couldn't take it and bursted out laughing.

Then a boy with less black hair clenched his shoulder staring at him.

"You're sure late, Takemichi."

'And there are more scary dudes I don't know popping out!'

Besides the new guy is a guy with long blonde hair wearing choker and having tattoo on his chest.

'Eh? But those two...I feel like I met them before...'

The guy with black hair turns to the brown with long brown hair. "Yamagishi! Do your job better!"

Takemichi turns to the guy besides him.

'Yamagishi?! This guy is that Yamagishi?!'

Past Yamagishi was shown grinning before fading back to the guy who brought him there now known as "Future Yamagishi/Yamagishi".

Others look at Yamagishi. Mizo middle point at him shock. He point to himself as he gulp. "Yes. You." Takemichi smiles.

"Tch, shut up. He's the one draggin' his own ass. Like wanting to rent a DVD." Yamagishi turns to them.

'So that means...He's Makoto...'

Past Makoto was shown smiling before fading back to the guy with black hair now known as "Future Makoto/Makoto".

It's Makoto's turn to point at himself in shock and Takemichi just nods.

'And he's Takuya?!'

Past Takuya was shown smiling gently before fading back to the guy with long blonde hair now known as "Future Takuya/Takuya".

'They're all my friends from Mizo Mid!'

"He looks a bit like Mikey now." Baji snickered. Mikey look at Takuya who gasp at his future self. Takemichi chuckles.

"C'mon, let's get going."Yamagishi said as Takuya turns to Takemichi

"Your right-hand man is getting impatient, Boss."

"Right-hand man?!"

"Boss?!"

"Wait where's Akkun?"

"You'll see...maybe in next episode."

"Hmm? Eh?" The whole building was shown it was huge and tall. It looks so expensive like Takemichi had become rich.

The scene changes they are now at elevator.

'Could it be...'

They had reached the destination.

'I'm successful in the future?! I rose up to the high class!'

Everyone looks amazed at this.

He walked up to the room as everyone in that room bows to him, except a certain someone who's looking at the window.

"Thank you for having us!"

He's jaw dropped 'This is my house?!'

The Black haired guy who was facing the window spoke.

"You should pick up your phone."

He smiles as the guy turned to him.

'Chifuyu!'

"CHIFUYU?!" They all shout.

"He looks like Baji, damn. Only with short hair" Ryusei grinned

'It was Kazutora-kun who looks like Baji-kun' Takemichi smirks at his won thought.

He runs to Chifuyu.

"Thank goodness, Chifuyu! I've got no clue what's going on here."

"Huh? The hell are you talkin' about? We got a manager meeting, let's go."

"Eh? Manager meeting? Who? And manager of what?"

"C'mon, Partner. Who else but you?" He turned to Takemichi smiling before adding: "Tokyo Manji Gang's Top Manager. Hanagaki Takemichi."

"TOMAN'S WHAT?!" Mikey shouts everyone jaw dropped in shock, the guy can't even kill a fly. Sanzu frown as he slammed his fist in his chair.

Takemichi's jaw dropped 'I've became a Toman Manager now!'

The screen fades to black as the scene changes.

"This way, sirs."

They walked inside a restaurant to meet a lot of guy.

"Which one of you ordered this jellyfish?"

"Damn, that's spicy!"

"Too much sichuan pepper!"

"Hey, where's the fried rice?!"

A guy turned to Takemichi as he pulled the chair. "Here you are."

'Unbelievable. Am I really a manager of Toman? If I'm really a manager now, I might be able to get closer to the untouchable core force of Toman. But why don't I have Naoto's number in here?'

"For starter,about this year's payment reports --"

He gets cut off by one of members.

"Before that. Where's my goddamn fried rice, idiot? Besides, we're still waitin' on someone else." The guy said.

The key card shows up the same time his face was shown.

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Hayashida Haruki)

Takemichi smiles at this. 'Pah-chin-kun!'

Everyone deadpanned 'Never change at all.'

A voice spoke up. "Quit whining, Pah. Just shut up and eat your food."

'I think he's that guy from the 5th Squad.'

The face of guy was shown the same time the key card shows up.

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Muto Yasuhiro)

Mucho shrug "He loojs less scary now" Mikey chuckles earning a confused look from Mucho and a grin from Sanzu.

"As for the guy we're waiting, you mean Mitsuya, right?" Mucho asked

"There's more who aren't here yet, dumbass. And where's my freaking fried rice?! How am I supposed to keep eating without rice?!"

"Me?" Mitsuya pointed at himself.

"Come to think of it I never saw Mitsuya in any future" Angry said as he tilted his head.

'You won't want to'

Someone interjected. "You moron. Fried rice comes last, bald head." A guy with orange long hair said his eyes were closed and big smile across his face.

Key card shows up.

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Kawata Nahoya)

'It's the 4th Squad Captain.'

"It's not Smiley...It's Slimey now!" Baji laughed

"You want a fight, deadass?!"

"Huh? Moron?! Who do you think you're talking to?!" A guy slammed his hand on the table

'Peh-yan-kun!'

"Pah-chin's head is made out of air, you moron!" He added

"Yeah." Pah agreed.

A vein painted it self across Smiley's face.

"Then go order the fried rice yourself!"

'They really haven't changed at all. Even after 12 years, they're all still in Toman.'

Another voice once again interjected "Would you guys just stop blabbering already?"

'Who?'

A key card shows up as the man cleaned his teeth.

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Shiba Hakkai)

"EH?!" Hakkai shouts...'Why me?'

"Damn oldies." Hakkai said

"Huh?" Mucho now have a vein in his face

"Oldies?" Smiley grinned went wider

"Don't you get uppity with us, Shiba!" Peh pointed at him.

"Shut up!" Hakkai just simply said

A guy with a scar on his face was shown. "Who do you think provides your meals in the first place?"

A key card shows up as the guy spoke

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Inui Seishu)

"Damn. Inupi you-"

"Shut up Koko."

"Yes sir."

"All you've got is your seniority, and you don't even pay much. Arrogant, cocky bastards."

"Huh?"

"Say that again?"

Takemichi tries to speak "Eh? Wait --" he was cut off by a chuckle from a guy with black hair with few white strips on it.

A key card shows up.

(Tokyo Manji Gang Top Manager - Kokonoi Hajime)

"So I'm in future as well?" Koko blink

"You're too blunt, Inupi."

'Who are these guys?'

Chifuyu finally speaks from where he stood behind Takemichi.

"Acting like they're better than us. Just because they're Ex-Black Dragons."

'Black Dragons?'

"And I oop-!" Chifuyu laughs

"Vice Pres!" Inupi tried to stop him.

"What's up with Mikey, anyway?"

"Like hell he'd come to see a loser like you." Hakkai said as he eats

"Huh?"

"Mikey this, Mikey that. You oldies are all like, "Mikey! Mikey!" whenever something happens. What are you, goldfish poop?"

"Exactly. Where am I?!"

"You will know soon Mikey please be patient." The host said.

That's the trigger.

Pah throws the chair to the wall destroying it. Pah then walked behind Hakkai.

"Let's take this outside, Shiba!"

Another voice interjected.

"How dull."

He's hand was shown to have tattoo as he points to the ground before speaking back again.

"What is this, middle school playground?"

'Hanma Shuji! So he's still here in the present, too!'

Hanma speaks again.

"HANMA YOU LITTLE PIECE OF-" Baji and Kazutora shout at same time and others ignored them.

"We're not holding this regular meeting to talk about payments. Koko's public IT business, Shiba's corporate front, and several companies our gang manage were searched by police three days ago. That means...We have a mole among us."

After saying that the screen splits into many and show each of the others (except Hanma).

"A traitor in Toman?" Hakkai asked as everyone look at Mitsuya then to Mikey.

"I have a feeling it's not them." Chifuyu said and everyone went back watching.

'Yeah. Because it's you.'

"Somebody snitched?" Peh questioned

"A traitor..." Mucho narrowed his eyes.

"Like hell any of us would do that! No one snitched on their own gang!" Pah shouted

"Nincompoop. If no one here snitched, how can so many places get searched on the same day?" Koko said

"I told you! Who do you think you're callin' a nincompoop!" Pah pointed his finger on Koko

"Moron and nincompoop means the same thing, you bastard!" Peh shouted as well.

"I'm the one who called him a moron." Smiley laughs

"Shut up!" Peh pointed at Smiley.

"If you're pickin' a fight with Koko, then I'll take it on!" Inupi shouts

"Want some beating, you scamp?!" Peh challenged back

"Bring it on!" Inupi only shout

Someone had arrived behind Takemichi.

"Damn. They all gonna fight." Senju sweat dropped, the girls all nods.

"Having fun, aren't here?"

Takemichi gasped as every kne of them stop fighting, stood up, and bows at the guy. "Good evening, sir!"

Takemichi look to whom they bowing. It was KISAKI!

'Kisaki!'

Kisaki then smiles

"THE FUCK!" Everyone cursed.

"Enough with the formality, guys."

"Eh?"

"It sure is rare to see you show up for our managers meeting, Kisaki-san."

"I've got some minor business to deal with."

'This guy is Kisaki? He seems like a different person somehow.'

"I might have said that too early."

He walks towards Takemichi. "Eh?"

"Takemichi, Chifuyu. Could I have a moment with you two?"

"Uh...sure."

The scene changed.

"Nice place, isn't it? I had this built recently."

"Really? Wow."

"Well, have a seat."

"Uh...yes."

"You should sit, too, Chifuyu."

"I'm not in the position to do that."

Baji flinched at that. If he was there he will definitely not let Chifuyu stand up no matter what. Especially he will definitely not allowed Kisaki OR Hanma around him.

"Uptight as ever, aren't you?"

'Kisaki Tetta...One of the most important individual in Tokyo Manji Gnag and the acting president. Even with the police's best effort, they still can't find a lead on this guy. Is this guy really that Kisaki?'

"We've known each other for a long time, haven't we? I never thought I'd still hang out with the same friends I had all those years ago. Did I say something unexpected?"

"Uh...no."

"Takemichi, Chifuyu. What do you think of me? You hate me, don't you? It was around this time, 12 years ago. When Baji died. That was all my fault."

This shocks Chifuyu and Takemichi.

"I set up the Bloody Halloween."

'Of course I knew. I knew, but...Why is he telling us that now?'

"I have a bad feeling" Ryusei and Mitsuya said at same time. Earning stunned look.

"We got our Mitsuya #2 here!" Smiley laugh and so does everyone while Ryusei blushed.

"I used Hanma, get Hanemiya Kazutora involved, and created Valhalla. Then I had it clashed with Toman."

"Why did you do such a thing?" Chifuyu asked

"I wanted power. I wanted to achieve something worthy of praise. If I could settle that conflict, everyone would bow before me. I was desperate. I didn't think Baji would end up dead."

Chifuyu's eyes went wide in horror.

"I mean it, Chifuyu. I'm sorry."

He bows before Chifuyu.

"YEAH BOW DOWN TO YOUR KING!" Baji shouts

"I always wanted to apologize to you. After 12 years, I finally understand. What's really important are friends."

"Do you regret what you did back then?" Takemichi questionned him.

"Not for even a day. You may still hate me. But have a drink with me, just this once."

"Okay."

They grabbed the drink Kisaki had poured into glass.

They all are standing and raising their glasses.

"Cheers for Baji."

They then drink it.

"Umm, you got any beer? I'm not really used with expensive drinks." Takemichi sweat dropped

"C'mon man, a manager should be able to handle his drinks." Kisaki laughs

"I see." He take a sip coughing afterwards making Chifuyu and Kisaki laugh.

"Don't force yourself." Chifuyu laughed.

'Unexpected Development! Could this be a really good future?'

The scene changes. They had finished drinking.

"What a good future... but then again why are you still here?" Mucho asked Takemichi ignored him and the stares he get.

"I haven't had this much fun in a while."

"Yeah."

"Can I say one last thing?"

Chifuyu and Takemichi turned to him.

"Earlier. I said I didn't think Baji would end up dead. That was a lie."

"Eh?" Chifuyu and Takemichi's eyes went wide.

"I used Kazutora to kill Baji. And today I will continue what I left out."

"Eh?" Takemichi's vision went blury.

The screen fades to black as thud could be heard.

"EH?!" They all shout

"I see." Mucho grimaced he gave a side-eye glance to Takemichi who nods.

The screen went back to reality when Takemichi woke up.

'That's right. This place is...I can't move!'

"Eh? What is this? What is going on?" He was tied up to a chair.

"Takemitchy..."

"Chifuyu?! What happened to you?"

"Who hurt him?!" Kazutora shout mad

"He ain't gonna lose that easily NOR die that easily." Baji gritted his teeth.

"The feeling worsen" Ryusei said and Mitsuya nods.

"You sure are quite a sleeper. Hanagaki."

"Kisaki!"

'Did he drugged us?!'

"Matsuno Chifuyu. You've always been an annoying guy to deal with. You still held a grudge over the thing from 12 years ago, and tried to sneak up on me. Trying to get revenge for Baji Keisuke?"

"Eh?"

Kisaki then kick Chifuyu.

"KISAKI YOU BASTARD!" Baji cursed

'Chifuyu...revenge...Baji?' Kazutora look at the boy

"Kisaki, stop it!"

"Just admit it, already. You're the rat, aren't you?" He then kneed Chifuyu in head before kicking him again.

"Good grief! You little snitch!"

"Stop it! Kisaki! Stop it!"

Kisaki approaches Takemichi but was stopped when Chifuyu shouts.

"No! The police did that on their own! All I was trying to do is to get you out of Toman!"

Kisaki shrugged as he sighs. "How long are you gonna chase after Baji's mirage? You small-minded rat."

"Toman's gone rotten. I just wanted to change that. Just like you said, I'm the rat. Takemichi has nothing to do with it."

Chifuyu pointed at himself.

"You're right, Partner. It's not Mitsuya nor Mikey, but you." Takemichi sighed

"Shit..." Ryusei and Mitsuya finding it hard to breathe as bad feeling grew inside them.

'Chifuyu...Don't tell me...You've been avenging Baji-kun for the past 12 years?!'

"Fuyu..."

"Hey. I get to decide whether he's involved or not."

He get the gun and walked towards Takemichi. "Hey, Hanagaki. Why have you been acting like you're not involved in any of this?"

"Eh?"

"Hey."

He then shoot Takemichi in his legs making Takemichi shout and cry in pain.

"KISAKI YOU ASSHOLE!" Now it's Mikey and Draken's turn to be mad, furious even.

"I told you Takemitchy has nothing to do with this! He doesn't know a damn thing!"

"Just shut up. We're friends aren't we?"

"My leg! It hurts!"

"You lunatic." Chifuyu cursed as Kisaki pointed a gun on his head.

"Oh shit." Kazutora hates it when Chifuyu cursed, he knew deep inside if Chifuyu cursed he meant it literaly.

"Well then, do you have any last words?"

"Takemitchy. Takemichi! Takemitchy, listen. These are my last words. A lot happened over the last 12 years. Mikey-kun disappeared and Draken-kun got penalty. Before we knew it, we got involved in some foul business. We've done a lot of terrible things. But...But deep down, I'm sure we haven't changed! Baji-san's feeling...And Toman. I'm counting on you, Partner."

"Chifuyu, you won't die that easy" Baji tries but tears surround his eyes everyone stares shock.

"Baji-san..."

Kazutora squeezed Chifuyu's hand and Ryusei had shed a tear already.

Kisaki then shot his head. Making Chifuyu fell in the ground.

"CHIFUYU!!!"

"No...get up...stop...joking around...you moron." Baji tears rolled down his face

"Baji-san, I'm still he-"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP FUYU! YOU WON'T DIE DAMMIT! NOT IN THAT FUXKING ASSHOLE'S HAND!"

"Baji-san..."

Takemichi watched in horror as Chifuyu's blood poured on the ground and Chifuyu layed there motionless.

'No way! This must be a bad dream! There is no way Chifuyu would die this easily!'

"Exactly!"

"How does it feel to have Toman's fate rests on your shoulder? Don't worry. I'll let you join him soon."

Kisaki pointed the gun at Takemichi's head and watched him cry.

"The hell's wrong with you?! Is that all you've got?! It's a pity." Kisaki shed a tear.

"See you. My...hero." A shot was then heard as the screen fades to black.

There's no ending instead words written on screen.

"End Of Season 1"

"KISAKI YOU BETTER NOT!"

"I survi-"

"IMMA KILL YOU KISAKI!"

Everyone started cursing Kisaki. While Mikey cling to Takemichi, Draken and Mitsuya also besides Takemichi.

Baji run to the bathroom, he was followed by Ryusei and Kzutora who runs after Ryusei.

Chifuyu sighed "Partner did told me this so I'm not that shock." He then look at others direction who threw him a pity look.

Sanzu grinned and shrug.

'I mean, some others might enjoy watching my death' He deadpanned

He followed Baji and others in the bathroom.

The host decided to gave them a break.

Next chapter will be the talk they had in bathroom. It will be posted next week before Sunday. Then at Sunday next week four more chapters will be uploaded.

Congratulations everyone you had reached the end of Season 1!!! New seating arrangement for season 2.
