Ride or Die {Tokyo Revengers Bonten}

Chapter 18

Mikey stands up from the bed.

Izana- "I've been wondering brother....Do you keep her alive because you owe her for that mission?....No....that's not it....."

Mikey slowly approaches the mirror while keeping his gaze down.

Izana- "And you haven't slept with her so its not like you're hooked..."

Mikey keeps his slow pace.

Izana- "But there has to be a reason.....isn't it....let's see......."

Mikey stopped in front of the mirror.

Izana- "Oh....I know...It's because she smells like Emma..."

Mikey's gaze darkens as he looks up at Izana.

Izana- "I'm right am I? You like how she smells....You want to keep her alive because she reminds you of Emma...how heartwarming....She reminds you of your past....those were good times were they?...But guess what?"

Mikey's fists tightened.

Izana- "They're all dead!! Everyone you knew and loved, GONE! Get over it! They're not coming back! You have to move on and think for yourself!! If you think you can remember your past through (Y/N), WRONG!!! You NEED to stop overthinking and get rid of her, otherwise....you will ALWAYS be miserable! You will ALWAYS hide yourself in the dark! If the law won't kill you...then your f*cking depression will!"

Mikey's fists were shaking as he fought back tears.

Izana- "But don't worry....I won't let that happen....I won't let anything happen to you...because you're my brother...and we look out for each other....we may not be related by blood....but we are bonded in soul...and I will always look out for you...because I care for you...and no one will care for you the way I do....not (Y/N)...not Emma....Not even Shinchiro.."

*CRASH*

In the blink of an eye, Mikey punched the mirror, shattering it.

He's had enough.

He didn't want to hear him anymore.

Mikey stares at the shattered mirror in front of him.

Izana is gone.

But his words stuck to him.

Even in death he still finds ways to manipulate him.

And he feels the more he talks, the worse it gets.

But this time was different.

He actually resisted Izana.

He never lost his temper around him like that.

He wondered why.

But what Izana said was right.

She smells like Emma..

No wonder she smelled familiar...

He closed his eyes as he remembered the scent.

It comforted him that night.

It brought back memories.

Happy memories.

Memories that he never thought he'd see again.

It gave him that sense of comfort that made him feel warm.

He wanted to feel it again.

He wanted to feel......human.

She made him feel human.

It bothered him.

It bothered him that it took ONE night to change him.
