'Bitch what?!!?! How tf?!!?!' I was panicking. Well, in my mind. "I see you've been well Tora" I greeted him as if nothing happened. "Well, assuming that you're mentally stable of course" I added, which seemed to irk him.

"Listen here, bitch. I'm only tolerating you because Baji asked me to. If not, then you're dead!" Kazutora threatened. "Oh please! I can beat you with my eyes closed!" I taunted him. "Come on now...... we didn't come here to fight...."

Baji's pathetic attempt somehow stopped both of us, but the tension never faded. "If you came here just to start a problem then you can leave.....y/n" Baji tells me. "Well, if I wasn't so damn worried about you I wouldn't be here!" I tell him, not breaking eye contact with Kazutora. "What's there to worry about? I'm just welcoming a possible new recruit!" Kazutora exclaimed, smiling like a maniac.

"That exactly" I turn up Baji, "are you really sure this is the best idea? You couldn't have just gotten him out from within?!" I whispered to him, ignoring the daggers Kazutora was glaring into me. "Yes. I'm positive. And if you don't agree...... then you can leave" Baji states. And I was baffled. Baffled I tell you! This mf had the audacity to wave me off!!!

After what seemed like hours of silence and tension, I left. Without so much as saying a goodbye to him, I left. And turning the corner, I got on my bike and went towards the dojo.

Baji pov:
'I'm sorry n/n.... but this is for the best....'

"So, now that she's gone. Let's get to business" Kazutora said, breaking me from my thoughts. "Huh? Oh.... yeah.... So. What do I need to do?" I ask him, still feeling guilty on how I pushed y/n off.

"All you need to do is pass an orientation to prove your loyalty" he said. "So like a test?" I ask him. "It is a test" he said, smiling. But then that smile faded. "You know.... This is also gonna be a test of your loyalty to me...." Kazutora said, getting closer. "You do realize what it means if you fail.... right?" he asks, getting way too close now.

"O-of course! I'm not that dumb!" I tell him. "Good!" And then he walked away, leaving me to think as I go home. 'Was this really the right decision.......?'

Third pov:
You got to the dojo and started setting things up. Then begun to practice. 'Stupid! Bitch! Motherfucker! Dumbass!' you thought, as you punch after every word. 'He really thinks he can do this?! Let's see where that gets him!' you thought as you kicked the dummy. Immediately after, you went to do push-ups, sit-ups, and squats. You continued nonstop until a voice stopped you.

"Don't you think you've done enough?" an elderly voice spoke out.

You turn to see Grandpa Sano at the entrance of the dojo. "If only Manjirou is this passionate about training" he laughs. "hah- hell- hah- hello grandpa" you said through pants. "Hello dear, I assume you've got something on your mind?" he asks.

Knowing you can't get pass him, you didn't even try to hide it. "Me and Baji left the gang and Baji decides to join the enemy to bring down a certain someone in ours...... but I don't know if I should help or...... start my plan..." you mumbled the last part, hoping the elder couldn't hear it.

"Well.... I guess Manjirou and Keisuke will just have to figure things out" Grandpa Sano said. "But as for you, do what you think is right." You look up, only to see him with a sad look in his eyes. "I know you had something planned whenever you were cooped in that room of yours.... I just never knew what..." Grandpa Sano said, turning towards the open night. "However, now it seems clear."

He turn back at you, and looks at you straight in the eye. "Do what you think is right, even if it may take you down the wrong path. Just remember, you will always be a Sano no matter what" he smiles at you.

"I see.... I guess you knew this day would come huh? Well then, I guess I should pack my stuff first then?" you ask him. Grandpa Sano replies with a firm nod, and you went towards your room, Grandpa Sano following behind.
