Kaneda and the gang went to the old drug place they use to hang at. When they would go up against the clowns.
It's abandon and broken sense the Tetsuo incident is what Kaneda will for now start calling it.
"ughhh it smells so fucking foul down here." One of Kaneda's members complained.
"Well you're going to have to deal with it man. We have to lay low till our FEARLESS LEADER! Figure out what we should do next." Kai moving stuff around.
"I heard that you little shit, also you guys hide those bikes behind the rubble." Kaneda and Tetsuo was outside watching the men put the bikes away. It was night by the time they got there, they need the energy if they were going to be doing a 6 hour drive.
They all went down into the old shop, It seems they had it roomed out a bit enough to relax and sleep while they hide. Kaneda saw Kaori on the run down couch with his men surrounding her, it's clear she's a bit uncomfortable and one has the audacity to try and flirt with her.
"I don't think that's a smart idea pal." Kaneda warned before continuing to find Kei. The two guys disregarded them, until a shadow loomed over them.
They looked up and saw it was Tetsuo, "I suggest you listen to your boss. If you want to keep your head attach your body." He spoke calmly, and low. If anyone knows Tetsuo he doesn't make threats but promises.
They scrambled away from them, Tetsuo crashed next to her leaning his head back on the head rest.
"T-T-Tired?" Kaori asked scooting closer to him. She didn't know how close or physical she can be, because he didn't like doing it in front of people which was fine for her. She didn't want to make him more tired.
"Very." He replied exhausted, he shoved his hands in his pockets and turned his attention to his girlfriend. "What about you?"
"Oh uh… Y-Yeah I am, but I-I'll be okay." She tried to give him a smile so she doesn't look tired from today's events. Which was stressful and troubling for both parties. Although Tetsuo can see the bags forming under her eyes.
Tetsuo looked around, which Kaori noticed and was confused by what he was looking for. He got up and went towards Kaneda who was at the other side of the room. It looked as if they were talking normally and then argued and Kaneda got up. Seemed like to show him where something was. They were gone, Kaori just sighed.
slowly her eyelids were falling, as she rested her hands on her somewhat growing stomach. Before sleep could over take her, Tetsuo landed back down next to her hard. Having her open her eyes completely.
Tetsuo positioned himself in a comfortable sitting, leaning back against the arm rest. Spreading his legs and opening his arms, as if inviting Kaori to enter. She blushed and shyly accepting the invitation, he pulled her to his chest. Throwing a big blanket over them, wrapping protective arms around her. She hummed at the warmth his body was radiating and the covers.
"Comfortable?" He smirked down at her.
"Very." She replied happily, and in two seconds she was knocked out. He smiled, then laid his head back. So he can try and rest as well.

"Tetsuo"
"…."
"Tetsuoooo"
"…."
"I'm going to keep bothering you until you answer me." She smiled at him laying on the ground.
"Ughhh, why don't you fucking play with Takeshi or some shit."
Kiyoko sat next to him, hugging her knees. "You look like you could use some company."
"I'm fine…" Tetsuo turned to his side, with a distressed face. Kiyoko sensed it, she can feel his frustration and sadness.
"Can you tell me about your friend?" Kiyoko turned her head smiling at him.
he perked up, turning his head at her confused, "My friend?"
"Kaneda."
Tetsuo turned back, laying in silent after an awhile. "There's not much to tell about that idiot… Just a pain in the ass."
Kiyoko giggled, "I saw as we were taking you. You two grew up together?"
"Yea we did, Been dumbfucks ever sense… until now…"
"What about Kaori?"
"…"
Kiyoko noticed he stiffened at the name, that just told her he didn't feel comfortable talking about it. His energy and spirit felt sadder at hearing there names and thinking about them.
"You know… out of all of us, you're the only that can go back." Kiyoko stood up.
That made Tetsuo sit up completely looking up at her, "W-What Really!?"
"Although you'll need to get a grip on your power and control it. If you wish to see Kaori and your friends again." She walked away to the flowers on the other side of the field. Tetsuo followed behind her.
"How come I'm just finding out about this shit now!" Tetsuo asked irritated, he could've been home.
"You were still unstable and your powers haven't calmed down. You would've killed everyone instead." She gathered flowers in her hands.
Tetsuo was silent at that, she continued as she was picking flowers. "Takashi, the other, and I are only able to travel through the astral plane in our spiritual form… As we was drifting through the planes of earth… We sensed something dark is coming." She said the last sentence quietly.
"What was that last thing?"
"Would you like us to help you control your powers?"
"I-"
•••
Loud Bang Knock*
That made Tetsuo sit up so quickly along with everyone else. Kaneda and Tetsuo making contact. Kaneda looked at one of his men to check what that sound was.
Everyone slowly got up and grabbed hold of there weapons, Tetsuo carefully moving Kaori from off him.
"Tet-" He hushed her putting his finger to her lips.
"Don't worry lay back down." He whispered back to her.
Another Loud Bang*
"Is anyone down here, we're checking the perimeters?" Someone spoke on the otherside. It was a soldier or officer, a couple of them got nervous. Kaneda walked to Tetsuo, "Are you able to like I don't know sense how many people there or some shit." Kaneda smirked at him.
Tetsuo only shook his head rolling his eyes, "Your so annoying, but yes I can… There's five of them outside."
"If no one's in there, we're going to break through this door!" One of the officer shouted.
"U-Um no one h-here, J-Just an o-old h-homeless lady." Kai spoke in an old woman voice. He turned to the gang with a dumb grin and thumbs up. They shook his head at him, Kaneda pulled him by the back of his collar, away from the door.
The soldiers on the outside were skeptical, the leader gave silent signals to follow his lead. "Open the door so we can check if you don't mind ma'am."
The guys looked at Kaneda for the next move, "let them in, and everyone hide. Except for Kai." Kaneda whispered.
"What!?" Kai whispered loudly.
"Let Granny here distract them. And dress her up nicely." Kaneda grinned deviously.
After a couple of minutes the doors opened, the officers entered cautiously looking around the rundown bar. They noticed someone in the middle of the shop, light aimed at there backside.
Kai froze up fixing his eyes on the side at Kaneda who mouthed 'Act like an old lady'. Kai started trembling.
"Ma'am are you alright?" The leader halt his men with his fist in the air, approaching Kai slowly.
"O-O-Oh m-my back… Oh… O-Ouch." Kai put on his old lady voice. Everyone trying to hold back a snicker.
As the leader approached Kai to help him, Kaneda came from hiding. Beat him with a gun, then put him in a choke hold. Holding the hun to his head.
"Drop the guns or I blow this bitch fucking brains out. Don't act like I won't." Kaneda told the other men. The leader only nodded at his men, that did what he said dropping them.
"Now kick them away."
They kicked them away and Kai grabbed them.
"Grab em Boys." Kaneda smiled, his men grabbed the others bringing them to the middle of the room tying them all together. Along with the leader, who only gave them a glare.
Kaneda, Kei, Kai, and Tetsuo stood in front of them. "So let me explain how this is going to work children." Kaneda started up.
"You see my good friend over here." He pointed the weapon to where Tetsuo was standing. The men looked towards him nervously.
"If you haven't heard just staring at him, can make your eyes pop out." Kaneda grinned, the men quickly looked away from them.
"Listen Boy! What do you think ti-"
Kaneda cut him off with a finger to his lips, "Upupupup, the adults are speaking. You will get two options, one you help us have safe passage to Adam's facility to see a special lady friend or two we strip your ass from head to toe and leave you down here to rot…AND, if you resist or fight in any way. We'll let our genocidal boy here use you as his personal test dummies for his kinetic powers."
"Psychic." Kai corrected.
"I know what I said." Kaneda shrugged grinning, "So what's it going to be children."
Tetsuo gave them a deadly glare, making them tremble slightly. "Time is ticking girls, you have 5 secs to make a decision… 5…4…3….2….1"
••••••••••••••••••••••
Tiffany was monitoring Susie in her room, the room being in an unstable state. As Susie's powers were becoming unstable.
Another scientist entered the room cautiously to speak with Tiffany. "Prof Morbid?"
"Yes what is it Prof Jule?" Tiffany tore her face away from her screen on the desk across from Susie's bed.
"Mr. Stone will be taking full control of the project, so it can accelerate the process with Susie and the other espers."
Tiffany stood up in fury, "HE WHAT!? WHO THE HELL HE THINK HE IS!? We're not putting my children at risk, for him to be power hungry. Susie is no-"
"Tetsuo…" Susie breathed out her eyes still closed. Tiffany walked over kneeling to her side.
"What about Tetsuo?" Tiffany gripped her hands.
"H-He's… Coming…" Susie screamed in pain, pushing Tiffany and Jule hard against the wall. Tiffany got up slowly, Susie was doing fine not to long ago when they were testing her powers. Although the more she used it the more it seemed to affect her, but they wanted her to push through to go beyond her limits. Tiffany should've stopped it when she saw that she couldn't handle Tetsuo's power.
"We need to figure out why Tetsuo is arriving. We don't need to make the situation worse, I don't give a damn what Adam said. I'm not looking to die for power, so have alert on any sign of Tetsuo AND his little friends. I'm sure he's not coming along." The prof nodded, leaving Tiffany to try and sedate Susie, to calm her down.
Tiffany rubbed her head, "It's alright Susie, your going to be fine… *sigh* I wish I had proper medicine so you'll be able to keep your powers in check."
Tiffany could only sit in frustration.
••••••••••••••••••••
3 hours later
"Kaneda are we there yet?" Kai sighed.
"For the fourth damn time NO!" Kaneda replied aggressively. All them was covered with rag cloaks and hoods over their head. They were all split into two separate soldier cars, sitting in the back.
Kaneda, Tetsuo, Kei, Kaori, Kai, and Mizuki was in one together. The rest of the boys were in the other.
"I'm hungryyyy" Kai whined.
"I am getting a bit hungry… As well a-as thirsty." Kaori chimed in agreeance, she looked up at Tetsuo who she was leaning against in the car.
"Are we near any place that may have food for us to have a quick pit stop." Tetsuo announced openly, everyone started looking around to see. Mizuki spotted a convenient store.
"Master Tetsuo I found one!" Mizuki spoke in excitement.
"I will never get use to that… Hey captain stick up your ass we need to make a quick pit stop." The vehicles stopped into the convenient store. Kai, Kaneda, and Tetsuo got out the car.
"You guys hang tight, we'll grab a few things… Also no funny business, if something happens to you know who…" Kaneda made an explosion gesture.
"He'll end you and the world in a heartbeat, just remember that okay, great okay." With that they left to go inside the store to get food.
As they were picking up stuff for everyone, Kaneda watched Tetsuo pick something up and put it back in frustration. "Dude you need help looking what to give Kaori?" Kaneda approached him with a full basket.
"No, because I can simple ask her myself."
"How if she's I-OH, I forgot you guys have that whole telepathy thing." Tetsuo rolled his eyes walking to grab other stuff.
Kaneda breaking the awkward silence, "C-Can I ask you something Tetsuo?"
"You just did." Tetsuo smirked.
"Don't be a smart ass… I wanted to ask… We're you watching us from a distance when you came back…?"
Tetsuo froze for a moment, before he continued filling the basket. "No…" He walked away from him, Kaneda just smiled
"Aww no need to feel embarrassed Tet… I may not know how others feel, but I'm glad your back."
"Getting soft Kaneda."
"Haha no, it's called growing jackass. And a lots happened as well as me thinking a lot sense the past 5 years after the event… A lots change." Kaneda smiled at him.
"I guess we both had a bit of growing. Also you guys seemed like you needed saving." At that Tetsuo and Kaneda both laughed.
"Yeah of the mess you got us in." Kaneda argued.
"You could've not forced me to stay."
"You could have just said hi."
"You should have not tried to ambush Kaori."
It was nothing but back and forth, before Kai met up with them. With all the food and refreshments he gathered.
As they were finishing up what they were doing at the store. The others were waiting in the car for them, as they were sitting Kei saw from the distance what looked to be more soldiers coming. She nudged Kaori who was nodding off.
"Kaori look." Kei told her, Kaori turned her direction towards where Kei was pointing. Mizuki saw them staring at something he was curious on what had caught there eye.
"Shit it's more of those guys coming, the guys need to hurry." Mizuki panicked.
"So how are we paying for all these?" Kai asked.
"We're not." Tetsuo replied. Kaneda and Kai looked at each other.
"So you expect us to just walk out of here with no issues?" Kaneda looked as if Tetsuo was still insane when he was power hungry.
Tetsuo just ignored them, and continued to get the remaining of what he needed. As they continued watching him, he walked out the store. In front the cashier, who seem to not give a flying fuck. The two looked in shock and wanted to see if they could do the same thing, which they did and succeeded.
As soon as they stepped out, Tetsuo pulled them to the side of the building. "What the hell Tetsu-" Tetsuo covered his mouth telling him to hush. Kaneda made a mad expression, as Tetsuo's hand was still over his mouth. Kaneda eyes grinned, while Tetsuo was distracted he licked his hand.
Sending shivers down Tetsuo's body, Kai looked at it in disgust. Tetsuo quickly retracted his hand turning into a fist and punched Kaneda in his cheek. Making him fall on Kai.
"Disgusting fuck! What the hell is wrong with you." He spoke loudly, but not so the others can hear.
Kai tried pushing Kaneda off him, "That's what you get for putting your damn hands over my mouth…𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙤 𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜." He sat up on the ground rubbing his cheek.
"Why are we hiding anyways?" Kai spoke up.
Tetsuo pointed at where the others, they looked at the other military care pull up next to them.
•••
One of the men got out of the vehicle greeting the leader that was delivering Tetsuo and Kaneda's friends to the facility.
"Commander Yomo, doing a special job or is this charity work picking up hitchhikers." The man laughed, Yomo wasn't in the mood for jokes. Especially if he gets caught delivering fugitives.
Two things may go down, one the men will think he's siding with them and become a target. Other option, is dying in a tragic way and getting all his men killed by Tetsuo. Neither of them sounded great, but the latter was much more worse.
"Haha, yeah aren't you cute soldier. I thought sense those crazy kids are wreaking havoc, I thought I help certain people to safety from the destruction." Yomo replied.
"How chivalrous of you commander."
As the men were talking, it seems the men were on guard. One of them slowly approached the car where Kaori, Mizuki, and Kei was sitting in. One of them looked towards the one with a bit of a noticeable belly. He smirked knowing it must be a pregnant woman, but a woman nonetheless.
Kaori began growing nervous and uncomfortable. As the man was growing closer, to where he touched her shoulder. He didn't recognize her at first as they all had their head and mouth wrapped as to cover their face except for their eyes.
He lifted her chin to look at her, making her startled. "You have such beautiful eyes, I'm sure everything else was just as beautiful. He went to cup her boobs with his other, she wanted to hit him away so badly. But she didn't want to blow the groups cover.
Tetsuo's blood was boiling so hard, it took every ounce of strength not to just kill that man on the spot. Kai and Kaneda holding him back trying to calm him down. Because killing them will only make them suspicious or get caught and alert others where they were.
The commander cleared his throat, "Shouldn't you men continue scouting the facility. Let's not delay men, so go about your job boys." They nodded, one of the soldiers smack the one bothering Kaori. Telling him to come on, he sighed but did as he was told.
The other men left the scene, with everyone sighing from relief. They saw Kaneda, Tetsuo, and Kai back from the shopping.
"What took you guys so long?" Kei asked worried as Kaneda sat next to her handing her some food she happily took.
"We were done, but we saw the situation from a far and didn't want to get caught or have attention on us… Although when Kaori was getting harassed, we thought that was it. You should've seen how pissed Tetsuo was." Kaneda explained to her.
Tetsuo got in and sat next to Kaori, who looked like she was about to cry. She snuggled tight to Tetsuo, who held her in a protective hold. "You alright Kaori?" Whispered quietly to her. She nodded in response, to show she was listening.
"Yeah… I-I'm sorry, I didn't want to react strongly and put everyone in a tight situation." She held a tight grip around Tetsuo's waist.
"I don't know why the hell you feel the need to apologize for a situation that's not your fault. I would've been killed bastard, just for walking to you." Tetsuo told her in an aggravated low tone. Kaori smiled with a blush, and leaned up to give him a kiss on the cheek. Tetsuo yanked his face away blushing.
"Aww you guys are so cute." Kei smiled, sitting between Kaneda's leg.
"Shutup!" Tetsuo yelled then turned and looked at Kaori who only giggled. She thought he was so cute bashful, but would never tell him that. Less she wanted to lose the warmth of his hold.
They continued on their way to Adams facility. It was already night, and everyone was asleep. Except Tetsuo, he couldn't sleep as he kept getting visions. Making his head hurt, his rustling and mumbling. Was heard by Mizuki, who was worried about him.
"M-Master… Are you alright?" Mizuki asked in a low tired tone.
"I'm fine, just having a bad dream…"
Mizuki only nodded letting it go before going back to sleep.
Tetsuo remembered having visions before when he first had his powers he didn't know what they were and he brushed it off. But now sense he had better hold of his power. He can't do that now, and has to take these visions more seriously.
Although he didn't want anyone to know that he can see how certain situations play out. He didn't want to worry his friends or his girlfriend. He looked down at her sleeping form snuggled into him, he brushed her hair back. She snuggled closer smiling.
He smiled down at her, he went and laid his hands on her stomach. That grew slightly in size, enough to know she was pregnant, rubbing circles. He truly didn't plan to have a child, he KNOWS NOTHING when it comes to raising kids. NOR did he like kids like that, they were natural born assholes and can get unruly.
He didn't know how to process the thought of him having a little him running around. Which made him shiver at the thought, but also… He was also concerned and worried he might not be a good father and don't want his child to go through what he's been through when he was young.
He had nothing but a horrible beginning and end, but he'll be damned if the same happened to their unborn child. As long as they have Kaori and Kaneda. They should grow just fine, cared for and loved by friends… They'll be okay… everyone will be okay.
As things began to calm down around him he eventually slowly went back into a slumber.
"Wait wait wait wait… Are you telling me Oyaji could see the future? You're such a liar Ojisan." A little boy told told there uncle.
They were in a motorcycle shop, sitting on top of the working desk. In their formal uniform, what would look to be for a 4th grader. As they had there legs dangling and swinging, while listening to there uncle as they were working on a motorcycle.
"Ooh so that means you don't want me to continue tell you the story then hmm?" His uncle stood from his spot, grabbing a towel to clean his hands.
"NOOOOOO! Finish the STORYYYYYY!" He whined, folding his hands and going into an angry pout.
"Alright Alright, damn kid… You whine just like him… Like looking into a fucki-OWW!" He rubbed his head looking at the kid, that giggled bashfully.
"Okaasan said swearing is a bad and Oba-Chan said if you swear around me. I have to hit you and say don't say bad words around me." He giggled, he had a toy sword in his hand from his backpack he hit him with.
"Yeah whatever, but it's getting late. And if I have you out too late. I'm a get an ear full and nothing but problems. We'll continue the story tomorrow after you get off school as always alright buddy." He smiled at his nephew, ruffling his hair who smacked his hand way aggressively and irritated.
"Okay fineeee…" The boy hung his head sadly.
"How about I give you a ride back home, on my motorcycle. Would that cheer you up?" His nephew bounced on the desk happily at getting the opportunity to ride on the back of his uncle's motorcycle.
His uncle went to retrieve his bike, when he took it out. His nephew that it was the most coolest thing ever, he got on the back of his bike and his uncle revved the engine.
"You fellas watch the shop, I'm going to take shorty home." He spoke to his workers, his nephew waved to them saying bye. Before his uncle sped off out the shop and onto the open road.
