Paradise Lost [Tokyo Revengers]

Chapter 19

Chapter 19: (1st Future Timeline pt.1)

[2012]

Never in my wildest dreams have I ever thought about getting married and starting a family, It's been 2 years since Mikey and I got married and I can confidently say, we are beyond happy. We even have a 1-year-old son, Sano Jichiro. He looks exactly like Shinichiro and Mikey!

I have retired from the delinquent life several years ago and pursued my dream to be a pharmacist and inherit my mother's pharmaceutical company. 

Mikey on the other hand still leads Toman, and as I promised Mikey at our wedding, I will no longer involve myself with gangs and delinquents and focus on my family, like a responsible mother and wife.

Even though I am 100% happy with my life with Mikey, the only sad thing is, I have never heard from Draken and the rest of Toman ever since I have retired, none of them even attended our wedding. I have asked Mikey about it but he said he also had lost contact with them ever since they've retired. I never thought Draken would retire from Toman but I guess he wants to do other things in life.

"This is it huh?" Mikey said getting dressed for the occasion.

"Who would have thought, a former delinquent would run the biggest pharmaceutical company in the Kanto Region," I said still in disbelief. 

I went to Jichiro's crib and carried him in my arms, we were heading to the Inumaki Pharmaceutical Corporation, today is the day I'm being appointed as the newest and youngest president of the company and of course, my family has to be there.

"You look beautiful as always," Mikey said complimenting me, we've been together for almost 7 years but I still get embarrassed whenever he compliments me or tells me he loves me.

"You don't look half bad yourself, Sano Manjiro" I said making him chuckle.

"Let's go?" He asked as he extended his hand out for me. "I'll take care of Jichiro, you enjoy your big day"

...

As we arrived home after the inauguration, I tucked Jichiro to bed and started getting ready for bed. Mikey sat on the bed completely spaced out. 

"Are you okay?" I asked as I sat down beside him, he turned to face me and gave me a sad smile. I haven't seen that smile in years. Something is bothering him.

"I'm so happy to have you as my wife," He said and placed his hand over mine. He stood up and gently pulled me towards the bathroom. "We haven't bathed together in a while, haven't we?" He smiled cheekily at me.  I couldn't help but blush remember our intimate times.

"What?" I asked embarrassed, I could tell I was completely red.

"We've been married for years, we even have a kid together and you're still shy with me," He said laughing "Don't you dare faint on me!" He said as he locked the bathroom door behind him.

 "Mikey!" I said embarrassed as he started taking his clothes off. 

He then came closer towards me and kissed me, removing my clothes one by one. he then pulled me into the bathtub, you guys know the rest.

...

I watched Mikey sleep beside me, the person I never thought I would fall in love with turned out to be the person I wanted to spend my life with. This is paradise.

"I love you so much, I can't wait to wake up every morning and the first thing I'll see is you" I whispered to a sleeping Mikey then lightly kissed him before going to sleep.  

[Mikey's POV]

"I love you so much, I can't wait to wake up every morning and the first thing I'll see is you" I heard Aka-chin say before she turned off the lamp next to her side of the bed and headed to sleep.

My heart shattered hearing her say that.

After she fell asleep, I slowly got up from the bed and headed to Jichiro's room.

I watched my son sleep one last time, before leaving forever. I want Akaza and Jichiro to have a completely normal life, they can't get involved with Toman anymore, they can't get involved with me anymore.

I kissed my on son the forehead and gave him my final message as a father. He might not comprehend it nor remember it, but I want him to grow up to be like Shinichiro, not me. I hope he doesn't end up like me.

"I'm sorry I can't be with you as you grow up, I don't want you or Akaza to get hurt. Please forgive me and please take care of your mother for me" I told Jichiro, tears started pouring down, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I was happy, I am in love and I wanted to stay in this paradise forever.

But Toman has gotten dark. I want to save them from that darkness.

I headed out of our house leaving everything behind. There's no turning back now, this is the only way I can save them.

"You're finally here, boss," Someone said as I arrived at the rendezvous area.

"Kisaki Tetta, if anything happens to my wife and son, I will kill you" I threatened Kisaki.

[2017 - Akaza's POV]

It's been 5 years since Mikey left, I have desperately been finding him ever since but I have zero leads. Tokyo Manji Gang has been all over the news but no matter how hard I try, I can't get hold of Mikey. Is he seven alive?

My life turned completely upside down ever since Mikey left, but I did try to overcome the depression. take note of the word 'try'. I've been addicted and dependent on anti-depressants for 5 years. It was getting really bad, I wanted to kill myself on multiple occasions but couldn't, I can't do that to my son.

"Mommy?" Jichiro said as he came to my room, I was doing research on how to get hold of Toman. 

"Jichiro, are you mad at your father?" I asked him, he gave me a confused look. "I hope your not mad at him, I'm sure he had his reason why he can't be here with us"

"But he made mommy sad, I don't want to see you sad anymore," He said, my heart broke. 

"He's not a bad guy, he loves us more than anyone else," I told him, he just nodded.
