"Omg"
"What the hell?"
"How?"
I caught Hanma's blow like a feather.
The pole he swung was caught by the back of left hand. I am right handed too.
"I'm sick of your bullshit Hanma."
"Hehe you're still the same <3"
There is this side to me where I go bezerk. I've controlled it for a while but I let loose.
I grab Hanma by the neck with my left hand and start choking him holding him up in the air. With my right hand I deliver the strongest punch to his face which knocked him out. I throw him to the side.
I lost myself.
I look around me and see everyone starring at me in shock.
I see Mikey look afraid.
He gets up from the dirty ground and comes up to me and says "you saved me".
I wasn't controlling my head, I don't know what was going on but all of the sudden I was striked by a dark impulse.
"I should just die." I look at Hanma and say "I'm sorry".
Mikey looks at me confused and asks "what?" he seems back to his old self again.
Takemitchi runs up to me and says "you guys are safe! I'm so glad."
I fall on to my knees.
Tears are coming down my eyes and I can't stop it. I'm sobbing so much I can't even breathe.
I look up and scream on the top of my lungs "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"Emiko-chan?" Says takemitchi.
Mikey tries to come closer to me.
"GET AWAY FROM ME" I scream.
I was focused on what was in-front of me.
Baji was dead.
I was so heartbroken.
Ever since I met him and the rest of the captains him and chifuyu would visit my home everyday and bring me peyang yakisoba, we would split it.
They would come all the time and I'd tell baji everything about Mikey and I.
He is dead.
"BAJJJJJJIIIIIIIII!" I scream running to him and tripping, I fall on his chest.
He was close to death.
"Baji! Baji! Please get up please!" I beg.
"Emi, thank you for making me a little happier everyday and looking forward to the next day" he said coughing up blood and turning more pale.
"No no thank you Baji. I cant thank you enough."
"Toman's founding members are my treasure. Please save Mikey." he said under his last breath.
Baji died that second.
I get up and see all of Valhalla still here. "You motherfuckers. You took someone's life and dare to stand there and watch? Get the fuck out of here or I'll kill every single one of you."
They scram.
"I'm leaving" I say.
All of the sudden I feel arms wrap around me
"It's ok." I hear a soft voice say.
It's Mikey.
"I should be saying that to you Mikey. I'm sorry for causing all of this." I sobbed.
"This conflict has nothing to do with you. With you I feel like a human. And I'll save you from your dark side, like you do with mine." He said kissing my cheek.
"M-Mikey" says a familiar voice.
It's Kazutora infront of us.
"I'm staying here with Baji. It's all my fault. I won't ask you to forgive me but I'm going to atone my sins and carry Shinichiro's and Bajis death on my chest for the rest of my life." He says while bowing.
Mikey walks away.
I walk up to Kazutora while his head is still facing the floor.
I put my hand on his head and say "You have a long way ahead of you. Live for Baji and never forget what he's done for you."
"Yes ma'am!" He shouted.
The police shows up.
All of Toman runs away leaving Bajis body and Kazutora behind.
We run all the way to a park.
Mikey, Draken, Chifuyu, Takemitchi, Mitsuya, and I were the only ones who followed each other and made it here.
I sit on the ground. I put my knees up and let my head rest on my knees.
We all sat down.
"MIKEY!! DRAKEN!!"
We all look up and see Hina and Emma stand in front of us.
"What happened ??" Asks Emma.
Tears form on everyones face.
"You're all here? Where is Baji?" asks Hina.
"Please s-stop" I cry out.
Chifuyu gets up and walks a couple laps.
Hina and Emma understand what happened.
Draken grabs Emma's hand and pulls her in, they hug and comfort each other.
"Baji, no.. no Baji" says Emma sobbing.
Hina goes to hug Takemitchi but she holds in her tears to stay strong in front of her boyfriend.
I look at Mikey and just stare at him.
"What are we going to do now?" I ask.
"Honor Baji and continue creating a new era. Him and big bro are still watching me." He says while smiling and looking up.
"You're amazing." I say smiling.
He looks me in my eyes and grabs my chin and says "you're a pretty crier. Mourn Baji, but after this you can't cry again ok?"
"Alright!" I said.

3 weeks have passed since Baji's death.
Mikey and I would see each other everyday and got closer by the day.
He bought me a gold necklace with the letter M on it. He has one that says E. It was the cutest gift ever.
Recently I've been asking myself when he's going to make me his girlfriend.
On this particular day he showed up at 1 am at my window.
He knocks and I jumped.
"Who?.." I look out and see him.
"'MIKEY??" I yell.
He puts his finger over his mouth and whispers "Shhhh!"
I let him inside.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I came to ask you an important question."
"What's up?"
"Close your eyes baby." he says seducing me with his tone.
I close my eyes and suddenly feel his soft lips touching my mouth, then my neck, then my face, and he went lower and kissed above my chest.
"M-Mikey.." I say.
"Shhh"
He walks behind me and moves my hair away from my neck and starts kissing it.
Suddenly I feel a cold metal touch my neck.
"Tada! Open your eyes!" He says excitingly.
I open my eyes and turn to a mirror.
"Wow. Mikey this is so pretty."
It was the letter necklace but it was in cursive and had flowers around it.
He hugs me from the back.
"I'm glad you like it my love."
He turns me around to face him and pulls his chain out of his shirt.
"Is that my initial??" I ask surprised.
"Yes it is. I love it."
"Thank you for this."
"My girlfriend doesn't need to thank me for gifts." He exclaims.
"Girlfriend?" I question him.
"That's what I came here for Emi. Since the day I laid my eyes on you and got closer to you I've been in love. Thank you for making me so happy, without you my life wouldn't have been what it is today. I've lost so many people in my life but you always stayed. You stayed and believed in me. You fight for me and carry my burdens. Thank you for loving me...
Will You Be My Girlfriend Emiko Yuta?"
I was in shock. I didn't know he felt like that..
I wanted to cry out of happiness.
"Of course I'll be your girlfriend. But will you be my boyfriend Manjiro? I exclaim.
"Yes, my love"
We share a passionate kiss.
Since then we've been officially dating.
This took place 2 weeks after Baji's death.
Mikey and I have been officially dating for 1 week.
I wonder what our future holds for us.
