And when I woke up I remembered what happened. I just happened to got punched and instant knock out.

"You motherfucker got K.O. We bet pur money on yah. Yah know? Ain't that right Kiyomasa?" He asked the guy who is busy counting money with a cigarette on the mouth.

Underground fighting?

And of course being their slave they beat me up since I got lose so is their money.

"COME ON"
"I'MA BEAT YAH MOTHERFUCKER"
"YOU LAME ASSHOLE"

After a minute of stepping harshly on my back.

"Let's go"
"Try hard next time"
"Tch"

And I stood up and tried to talk to Kiyomasa about being able to meet Sano Manjiro or Kisaki Tetta.

"Bring me my bat"

I shuddered when he looked at me and the last thing I know it like I look like a turtle now and he keep hitting me on my back with a bat repeatedly.

"H-hey shouldn't we stop him?"
"Yeah he is basically killing him"
"OI KIYOMASA CAREFUL!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO KILL HIM!"

Blood splattered on my face and sand I feel a foot nudging me basically waking me up.

"Oi wake up"
"Ahh... Uah... Ugh"

"Next time I heard that mouth of yours talk about Sano Manjiro. I'll kill you" he threatened me.

Ah.

SCAAAARRRRRYYY

Its impossible Naoto. I can't even talk to them properly. How can I even get in touch with the Toman's leader?

Im walking down on the street ignoring how people will look at me with disgust or pity. I don't give a damn about them.

I want to run away. I will always be me. A useless Takemichi but I can still go back home. I'm just gonna shake my hands with Naoto right?

I am here in front of Tachibana's household ringing the bell hoping it'll be Naoto who will open up. When I stopped.

Am I gonna run away again?

"Hanagaki-kun?" A familiar sweet angelic melodious voice filled my ears. "Eh Tachibana why are you here?" I mentally facepalm at my own question.

"Huh? This is my house" she replied. "R-right" I nodded. And she nags again about me involving with fight and her hoping that if only she's a boy.

"If only I am strong as Y/n-chan" she added making me look at her. Huh? Is Y/n getting into a fight. Is that why sometimes she'll go back with some faint bruise and giving a magazine so I shouldn't asked.

"You don't know? She keep protecting me when you're not around and I know that she is secretly beating them outside of school" she smiled. "Y/n is awesome" she giggled and I nodded.

And we laughed and I accidentally called her Hina-chan and we both stopped and fortunately she allowed me to do it.

Soon enough I went back to my place and there I saw her. My cousin. I wonder what she'll be like in the future?

I just hope she wont involve in this mess. "Go clean yourself and I'll aid you after eating your dinner" she commanded and read her book and I nodded and I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself and went to the kitchen.

"How was school?" I asked and she looked at as if she knows something. I sweat dropped. It is always been her eyes ever since we met. Her eyes that saying she knows everything that is happening and her eyes that will look at you sometimes filled with emotions sometimes just an empty look.

'Just what are you my dear cousin?'

"It was fine. Kinda boring but fun" she replied and started to prepare the kits. I washed the dish and she tapped a space beside her.

"Have you been on fights?" I asked and she didn't look shocked. "How about you?" She asked back. "But we're talking about you" I replied and she snickered.

"Yes. But just minimal and besides I can protect myself" she replied and applied something on my foot. "Does it hurt?" She asked and I nodded. "Did you try to run away?" She asked and I was stunned.

"Takemichi, running away won't solve anything yah know. It'll only make things worse and just for this you'll run away what much more in the future?" She shook her as if she's a disappointed big sister.

I chuckled and ruffle her hair. "Don't yah worry I wont" I replied and she smiled softly.

"Turn around" she commanded me and obliged. "Lift your shirt up" she added I did. And started rubbing some ointment on my back.

"Say Takemichi. Endure it for awhile will yah? Promise something good will happen soon" she said. "I know what has been happening Takemichi and you just proved me how much do you love Hina-chan. You're rare yah know" she giggled and I chuckled.

"You're both lucky to have each other"she added. And my eyes widened. "What do mean by you know what has been happening?" I asked as she pulled down my shirt and I turn around to face her.

She smiled, how should I explain this kind of smile. A smile with different vibes?

"That's for me to know and you to find out" she winked and started to clean the mess.

"Just what are you hiding Ryoka Y/n?" I whispered as I looked at her figure who busy cleaning.
